The above statements indicate not only the
natural Increase Of the gross revenue conse
quent upon the extension of the road, which
is about $4,000 per month, bot also better
net results. A greater economy bad been
attanted in operating the road before the
iull opening to Sudbury, than prevailed the
previous year. This is shown by the exhibit
from January to July 81, when, though
there was decrease Of something upwards
Of $4,000 in the gross earnings, there was yet
an increase in the net profit of S49,42S 10.
Since the opening to Suubury about the same
rate OF operating expenses appears to have
been kept up, the increase of gross earnings
in August and September last being about
equal TO the increase OF net revenue on the
same months OF 1857. Whenever the trade
OF the road shall be greater it is reasonable
to presume that the net results to the CON-
pany will also be better. This at least is tho
usual calculation, o certain minimum OF ex-
penses being inevitable in operating road
whether its trains be full or not Looking 10

already the inadequacy OF it saccommod iiop.

A SMALL INSTRUMENT uF ToRTuRE.-ilave
our lady readers ever reflected upon the fact
that so small an instrument as u sewing
needle. has destroyed more lives, and caused
more suffering, than the sword. Ii is true.
however, us the mortality among seamstIes3es
every where attests, aud our only wonder is,
that parents will permit their daughters to
grow up slaves TO the needle. while the Gro

and more beautiful sewing than can be doue

CHESS.


Grsnt Exploit OF MT. Morphy at Paiis
Translated for the Evening Bulletin from the rnris
Presse of Sept. 2oh]
There was, on NJ Monday last. a great meet
ing Of chess amateurs at the Cafe de Ia Re
Cence. AS we have announced, the young
American, Mr.. Morphy, took part 10 an al.
most incredible strife.
Seated on n faute,1l, turned towards the
wall. Morphy contended simultaneously with
eight adversarips, each placed before his
chess hoard. in the following order:
/. Mr.. Baucher 9. Mr. Burrwith; 3. Mr..
BonnemaS; 4. Mr. Guibert 5. Mr.. Leques-
ne Mr.. Poster =. MIR. Preti 9. Mr.. Sc
gsin.
The game began at o'clock, each OF Nor
phys adverssries playing in turn. When he
played be, after nn instanl's reflection, and
very often without it, mentioned the piece or
the pawn to be moved and where it should be
placed.
Notwithstanding the talent Of his sdver-
saries, who had abundant time to calculate,
having in this respect eight chances to bis one
and Notwithstanding the immense advantage
Of seeing their boards, Morphy did not mani
fest the least embarrassment among the
mest complicated phases Of the whole eight
games. The answer came forth every time
fair and square.
At seven clock. one OF the ndvsrsarss o'
Mo-phy was anable TO play longer, being
stopped by au unexpected check.mate. Hall
&C hour later two more gave it up in despair
At niue o'clock Mr.. Lequesne obtained a
draw game. Finally, at ten o'clock. Morphy
who, during the whole nine hours OF the sit
ting, had not risen or taken the least refresh
ment. accepted the postponement ofGuiberts
game. and conquered his last adversary, M.
Seguin, who fought TO his last pawn.
OF the eight games Morphy fairly won six
and lost none.
The result was received with wild shouts o.
applause.
The real marvel OF the game was not th'
certainty and promptness Of every play Of the
youDg American, or the singular coolnes!
with which he met bis adversaries {; it was The
incredible effort of memory.
1t would be difficult for the most skiltu
player 10 conduct single game without I
board before his eyes since it is necessar,
20 keep before the eyes the exact position o.
ali the pieces. Did not Morphy accomplish
the impossible in thus keeping before his eye
the continual changing condition OF sigh
games!
The popularity of MIR. Morpby's tactics i
that. in his early moves, he makes it impo.
sibls for his adversary to castle. 1t vii
readily be understood that this manGuvr'
must have serious effect on the play Of ii
adversary.
