VENEZUELA,

Late intelligence from Venezuela is at hand to the
effect that the Grand Central railroad, connecting
Porto Cabello with the headwaters Of the Orinoco is
no longer an uncertainty. The government (says the
Philadelphia Ledger has been very liberal with the
company not only granting the exclusive right of
way for twenty-five years, but guarantying the stock
holders per cent. on their investments. The con-
tractors are making preparations to begin the work
at once \ branch road is also to be constructed to
Caracas. Property in that town, as also in Porto
Cabello has already advanced in consequence of the
now assured realization Of this important enterprise.
The republic is represented prosperous in every
spect. In particular, the people are wide awake to
the material development of the country The long
wished-or liberal modification of the constitution it
is thought, will be effected without opposition.

FLORIDA.

We copy the following from the Tallahassee Flo
rdian Of April H.
q Gov BRooNEH His cxceency left this city on Thurs
day evening last for Washington city, the purpose Of
settling with the United States government the claim OF
the State growing out of the Indian OF 1919 and
1852, Congress having made appropriation to meet
that debt While in Washington, the governor will also
look after the interest Of the State connected with the
Swamp-land grant, and perhaps will be able to adjust
the demands upon the federal treasury for reclaatons
for lands sold since the passage of the act of 1854 The
great object of his visit however, is to negotiate loan
OF money upon the 7mr-cent State bonds issued under
The late act of the general assembly which he expects to
accomplish either in Charleston New York, upon terms
not unayorabe to the financial interests credit of the
State
1.-THE important business upon which his excellency
departs it is Anticipated will detan him until about the
first OF June In the mean time, the Hon Philip Dell
president Of the State senate is oco acting
jy decision OF Judge Baker when the governor leaves
the State the president of the senate succeeds at to
the duties OF the office under the oath administered to
him as presiding officer Of the senate and that further
qualification is necessary except in of the death
resignation Of the incumbent. We understand that Mr.
Dell has had timely notice of the intended absence of his
eNcelcncy.'
