The interest on the Second Mortgage Bonds Of the
Ohio Central Railroad Company, which were due On
the Let Of March last and teen unpaid, will be paid
tomorrow by Messrs. Robert Ganett g. Sons Of Ba!.
timore This is the fret payment of interest ever
made out Of the earnings of the road, which is now
doing O very good business, having made shisfsc
tory arrangement with the Baltimore and Ohio Road
The interest on the First Mortgage Bonds, due TO-
morrow. will not he met, but the Company have
doubt that they will be able to meet i, within the
sixty days allowed by the terms of the mortgage.
One other Western road will, we understand fail to
provide for its interest due omoTrow.
BY vote of eleven to nine the Albany Common
Council have ordered the payment, by the Chamber
LAIN of the SO 900 interest due Messrs. Duncan Sher
man g. Co., on account fthe Northern Railroad Com
pany. On previous occasion, the Board refused to
pay the interest.
The receipts of the Erie Road in April reported
uno fcaly at s66j 600 which is very large. For the
last few days they have averaged $4,000 per day.
The March earnings of the New. York Central
ed to have been about ESQ 600 less than for March
last year.
The banking house Of Winslow, LaneT e. Co. has
been dissolved By the retirement Of Mr. Jas Winslow
The remaining partners, r. ii. Winslow and j. F. ID.
Lapier will continue the business. The health of Mr.
James WinsIow has been such for long tine as to
warn him of the necessity of retiring from active
business, and he mas at last yielded. The banking
world loses in him of its most intelligent, enter
psing and aIDabe members but the greatest loss is
to the house fIom which he Eetires.
Messrs. E. ii. Miller & Co. have dissolved. Both
partners, we believe remain in the street. The Co.,
Mr. Travers has taken office for the transaction Of
the stock business at No. / Exchange place.
A. +. Smith, esq, of the Cumberland Valley Rail
road, who appointed some weeks since Superin-
tendent of the Hudson River Railroad, enters upon
the duties of his office from and after this date. Mr..
Sykes the former Superintendent still retains his
Office as Vice President of the Company.
The Chicago, ST. Paul and Fond du Lac Railroad
Company have recently negotiated s4O0 900 of their
lst Mortgage q cent Bonds with spitdsts in this
city and at Chicago. The work on this road is now
rapidly progressing, and the line from Chicago to
Janesvile will be opened for travel in June. The
Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad, which is now in
operation from GAINESVILLE to Madison will be opened
in June TO the Wisconsin River at Helena, thence
line of steamers will down the Wisconsin River to
Prairie du Chen, and up the Mississippi River to st.
Paul. Thus on the ls July, 1856, route will be
opened for travel from Chicago via Janesvlle and
Madison to Minnesota and Northern Iowa. much
shorter than the route now Travelled. The extension
Of ,Ia ;lua nd Rar 70 fbo
sssppi River at Prairie du Chen during this season.
will greatly improve this route by reducing the amount
Of river travel and shortening the time between
Chicago and st. Paul.
We understand the Orizaba will not return to San
Juan, and as the Uncle Sam and Cortez at Pana-
ma waiting orders, Nicaragua appears to be cut OFF
from direct steamer communication with the United
States The passengers that went out by the Orizaba
and started up the San Juan River are in very bad
situation. The Costa Rcaus are in possession OF |ir-
gin Bay and San Juan del Sur, and even if these pas
sepgers could reach the Pacific there is no steamer
there to take them to their destination. II they re-
turn to Greytown their is but little betered There
are fears entertained here that they still detained
on the river and that many of them will fall victims to
the climate and to hunger. We annex an extract OF
letter, received by the Orizaba from very intell-
gent source in Nicaragua. 1t is proper to remark,
however that Mr.. Morgan has denied all interest IN
the new grant.
Extract of letter written on board the steamer
Colonel Wheeler on Lake Nicaragua April ~, 1856:
"The summary repeal of the Accessory Transit
Company's charter by the Government has wen nigh
ruined us all to the extent of interests Ill TINS coun-
try. The Company having withdrawn Its ocean
steamer and the Costa Rcans being IN possession OF
the transit road all direct and regular communication
between the Atlantic and Pachc by this route has
ceased. and doubt the ability of Mcssrs Charles
Morgan Co. to reGstablish the transit business by
"The pro ro,eedings of the Government against the
Company are disapproyed by many OF tne prnc,pal
officers Of the army and generally by outsiders in this
couHtry. The principal blame, however, is attributed
10 Messrs Morgan and Garrison and to Mr.. Randolph.
the latter being Walkers most intimate and influential
counselor.
- think Messrs. Morgan & Garrison and their7col-
leagues and couns eeIs, Mr.. Randolph and Mr. Crit
tenden of San Francisco, did not properly estimate tine
difficulties of putting down the Accessory, Transit
COMPANY and successfully establishing another in its
stead. do not think the owners OF the new cna'er
can make much money out of it without the help, or
at any ate not against the opposition of the moneyed

a. bad no knowledge of The Coz ernment's intention
to repeal the Companys charter n the act was con-
snmnaated. Col. Wheeler says h. knew it some time
before and in December last communicated the niof-
nation officially to Mr.. Marcy
The Alta California says:
"The money market has ruled very light throughout
the entire fortnight and at the close it is particularly
stringent. The amount OF freight money 10 be paid
has essentially contributed to this result as have the
diminished payment from the country The miners,
however, have generally been doing well, aud the
mint and private assay ices kept in operation
every day. We expect t. easier times two months
hence"
The San Francisco Herad SAYS:
The general business done to-day has been ex-
