of hostilities are conflicting. Tie facts
appear to be that detachment of the
city police seized junk in The river and
imprisoned its crow, consisting of twelve
persons, on charge of smuggling or pira-

English vessel and in the employ of Eng.
lishmen. The authorities executed three
of the prisoners. and, on demand made
by the Consul, returned the remaining
nine. These were not accepted; the
Chinese then sent the nine and three
others to mako out the complement. -
This did not answer. The English CON-

Certain inhabitants of Moretown,

promise OF $40 in addition. 1t appears

held that the transaction was wanting in

The Rutland g. Burlington Road.

The Rutland & Burlington Road.
In another column will be found o
sharp review of the report Of the Trus.
tees of tho Rutland g. Burlington Rail
Road Company which is commended to
the attention Of those interested.
There is no doubt that the country has
been materially benefited by the con-
struc.ion of this road, Notwithstand-
ing millions Of money bavo been sunk in
operation, fair proportion of which has
been drawn from the inhabitants along
the line, yet to the great mass of active
business people 10 the country, all things
considered, the loss has been trihiug 1t
has fallen with moro or less of severity
upon the capitalists or upon retired men
who sought investment. These have,
in some notable instances, suffered deep
ly in the affairs Of the road but setting
aside cases Of this description, it is not
open to question, that the inhabitants
along the line havo received in tho en-.
baucement Of their Real estate,in tho adj
vance in prices of production. apd in the
convenience Of oommcrcial intercourse, far
more than an equivalent, for the money
which they have sunk.
But while all This is true, it is not to
DO denied, that the people who have con-
tributed to build the road, have right
to demand Of its managers, such o
wise administration Of its affairs as shall
Oh the whole be productive Of the great
est possible advantages TO this particu-
Tar road anything short of this, is
ground for emphatic and determined
complaint. That the road is managed
SO as to subserve this end, we are not, at
present, disposed to deny, yet it is idle
to conceal the fact, that for some reason
the road as aroad is no, meeting the OK
pectations Of its friends. The cCmmun-
icatiou, TO which we have alluded, shows
pretty conclusivoly, that the reasons as
signed by the Trustees, for thi, failure,
are hardly sufficient to satisfy those who
are most deeply interested in the ques.
ton. Perhaps tho true causes are to be
sought elsewhere.
