EwARE OF Mock ArcTIoNs-The rascals who
SCH plated watches and chains in dark rooms

dragged by the neck to the police courts and
forced to disgorge their ill-gotten gains are not
the only Peter Funks New York contains. We
see every day mock auctions of real esta 7
mock auctions of stocks. mock auctions of fur
niture. The owner Of twenty building lots puts
them up at auction, employs men to buy in if
teen Of them at prices far above their value,
and perhaps succeeds in swiudling some poor
fellow into the purchase Of sixteenth at q cor
responding figure. The proprietor Of bundle
OF mining stocks sends some Of them to auc-
ton and buys them in himself at price which
they would not command anywhere lsc, in the
hope that the newspapers will quote the sale,
and thus enable him to cheat some ignoramus
by selling him lot at the same figure. The fur
niturc dealers are equally successful. Three
fonrths of the furniture sold at auction is NOV
ed from the dealers store into the house where
it is sold the day before the auction. 1t l. then

THE SIXTEENTH OF AUGusT.-The wings OF
assachusetts hold their State convention in
Faneuil Hall on the 10th day Of August and
the holy Anti Slavery Alliance Of all parties
of New York hold their State convention at
Saratoga on the same day. The proceedings
of both, no doubt, upon the slavery question,
will be substantially the same, and win bring
national politics In tae North to direct issue
between the principles Of the hard.shelI demo-
crazy, adopted at Syracuse, and the grand
anti-slavcry league OF all parties. At this
crisis, can any one tell us what has become OF
that ark Of our political salvation, the Castle

gone over to the enemies of the South or are
they lost among the Know Nothings3 When
everything is at sea, whea all the old party
associations and dogmas, once as sacred az re-

now is the time for the resusc.tation of the Cas-

few persons, to whom few hours OF time may
be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars,
would take the ra lway, as would the mails and
specie. But the mass of freight and nine
tenths # ordinary passeng rs wouli prefer the
cheaper an ea Ter routes across the Isthmls
The general notions on the subject Of the
Pacific railroad are predicated upon the basis
of time now occupied by the Panama and Mica
ragua transits, which averages abolt twenty-
four, days. But those circuitous rout -, with
their Interruptions and frequent Delaying and
harrassing transhipments, are destined to give
place for others more advantageous, and which
have the requisite conditions to Prominence
and speed. Such routes must be sought for in
higher latitudes.
Still, as means Of defence, and for the rapid
transmission Of the mails and specie from the
Atlantic to the Pacific States, the Pacific rail-
way may be regarded as national desidera-
tum. What we mean to say is, that so far as
the carrying of passengers and freight is con-
cerned, the road can never seriously compete
with, much less supersede, the Isthmus routes,
when the latter shall have been properly
developed.

Now, the Honduras Company propose to make
their eastern point of departure at Mobile, Pen
sacola, Tampa Bay, or Charlotte Harbor, to be
reached by express trains over existing and
proposed railways, thereby entirely avoiding
the navigation Of the turbulent Atlantic. The
Tehuantepec Company proposes to make New
Orleans their point of departure. The Hondu-
ras Company can easily reach Puerto Cabillos,
their northern Isthmus port, in two days and a
half from either of the places named, tranship,
and in twelve hours after, be under way on the
Pacific. The Tehuantepec Company can do the
same in very nearly the same time, from New
Orleans. These companies calculate, the first
that it can put its passengers by railway and
steamer in San Francisco in, at the most.
fourteen days from New York, and the second
in about the same time from New Orleans.
If these calculations should be verified and
they seem to be we'll foundcd--thc saving in
time which would be effected by the Pacific
railroad could not be more than four days
But there is another element TO be calculated.
viz: cost. 1t is conceded that the proposed
road would have TO overcome difficulties ia its
construction, such as have never yet boon en-
countered in any similar work. Lying, for q
great part Of its course across arid, uninhabit.
able deserts, destitute Of the materials relu-
site to construction, and even for long inter-
walls without the first essential Of water, il can
only be buat at immense expense; nor can il BE-
supported except at great cost. To keep itself
in repair, and meet its current expenses--to
soy nothing Of yielding dividendi-flres would
have to be put at rates higher than on any
roads now in existence in any part Of the world.
Both as respects fares md tolls on ireiqh. there
is no doubt the cost Of passing over the road
would nearly, IL not quite. double what ii
would be by the Isthmus routes. By the lat.
ter, it has been shown by experience thai pa
sengcrs can be carried prodtJbly 81 an average
of 500. Il is obvious that no railway could
carry them from here to San francisco for
double that amount
From hence we infer that the saving IN time.
VI three or four days, by railroad from New
York to San Francisco, would not compensate
Cor the greater fatigue and greater cost which
the journey by such means would involve, i.
