Meeting Of the va. c. r. II. Company.

MeeCl0E Oh tNe Va. ~ H. H. company.
1t will be seen from a notice in on
columns, that meeting of the stockhold-
ers in the Virginia Central Railroad Com
rany is requested on the 9th day OF next
month at Richmond. The object Of the
meeting, we understand, is to devise way S
and means to continue the construction OF
the work already let to contractors. The
Company have expended a large amount
of money west of Staunton, and as far as
Marlborough the grading is complete
SO that the track can soon be laid, and that
much of the expenditure made productive,
if sufficient funds can be raised. Beyond
Millbo rough the contractors are at work
ard many Of them having their force en-
ployed for the year-wll be greatly dis
appointed and injured if the work is per-
mitted to stop. And, moreover, they may
recover heavy damages of the Company II
they are required to abandon their con-
tracts. 1t is question whether the Com
pany had not better make some sacrifice
to raise the money necessary to comply
with their contracts, than to suffer de-
fault and be compelled to pay damages
And further, whether the Company should
not make strong effort to extend their
road as far west as possible, without delay
in order more effectually to secure an
uniform guage upon the western link Of
this great Central Road, to the Ohio
These and other questions, we are inform
ed, will be presented to the meeting,
which will require careful consideration
and important action, on the part Of the
Stockholders.
This will be one of the most important
meetings the Company nave ever held,
and it is very desirable that every Stock
holder be present, or represented. We
have felt it our duty to call attention to
this subject, in order that those interested
might begin in time to make their ar
rangement to be at the meeting. The ac-
ton Of the meeting will be looked 10 with
interest abroad, and may have very deci-
ded influence upon the future prospects of
the Company.

Seizure OF the Black Warrior.


The seizure of the Black Warrior by
the Spanish authorities at Havana, is
likely to cause considerable disturbance
between this country and Spain. The sub
jcct has been under Cabinet advisement for
some days, and it is believed Gen. Pierce,
will transmit message TO Congress which
will urge immediate and stringent action
in the premises. We give below state
ment OF the circumstances attending the
seizure:
1t is the usage ofsleamships touching at
the port OF Havana, not taking landing
freight, should be cleared aud entered
III the ballast only. Since the secret treaty
with England, it has been the policy to
cripple the trade Of the United States
MIR. lying, the agent, entered and cleared
the Black Warrior in ballast before her ar.
rival. Finding that the ship was likely to
be detained under this entry, he had twelve
hours allowed by law to MIKE the port en-
try, and within that time he offered to
make the freight entry required and pay
the tonnage duty. They would not per-
NIT him; and the whole cargo was
claimed as prize, for an attempt
TO smuggle. Capt. Bullock abandoned the
vessel under protest, as soon as the Span.
iards commenced removing the cargo
The Capttain-General then hesitated for a
day, but afterwards vert rapidly to work
Captain Watson, Of the Fulton, talked of
taking her out under the guns of the Mo-
no, but was dissuaded by old Colonel Rob-
ertson, the acting Consul.

The Spanish Alliance.

II seems 10 be an understood and con-
ceded fact, that the seizere Of the Black
Warrior, was made by the Cuban authori.
ties, in obedience to instructions from
Spain, and is to be attributed to the sup.
port and countenance that country expects
from the alliance with France and Eng.
land, for the protection of Cuban interests
Lord Clarendon deolaration in Parliament
relative TO Eng lands policy with Cuba, be.
gins to receive significance and force and
this act of Spain is only the introduction
to insults predetermined by the combined
powers. The Washington correspondent,
OF the Philadelphia American SAYS:
"ltis now fully established thatan often.
sive and defensive alliance has been form.
ed against the United States for the pro.
lection OF Spanish interests in Cube. The
great naval ornaments of the three Pow.
ers are to be Used as well against us as a.
galnst Russia. The next object of the
Anti-American alliance is the protection
OF Mexico. Santa Anna has received AS.
surances that if he finds it expedient, a,
this time, to sell for very large sum Of
