British Railways.

The railways Of Great Britain have cost
81 sos 900, nearly one-half of the nation
al debt. In their construction have been re-
quired not less than 20 miles Of tunnels, 2.
500 bridges, and the removal of a quantity
of earth which, according to Mr.. RoBERr
STEPHENSON, would make mountain half
mile in diameter at its base and a mile and
a half in height. Over the roads thus
formed, railway trains run distance of not
less than S0,000,000 OF miles per annum !;
and every second Of time there are 2ls miles
of railway covered with trains in motion.
The carriages required to work this amount
of railway, if placed in one monster train
would extend 500, 1000 miles.

purpose Of opening the bids for the work 10

consist Of grading and macadamizing said

After considerable discussion, resolution
was passed resembling all resolutions relating

of leaving the matter open until it shall be

SIXTEEN GUS CORVETTE RAISED AT Sc
BAsropoL.--From letter dated Sebastopol
May 10th, in the Boston Courier, we make
the following extract
During the last week, the American
Company, which is at work in the harbor OF
this place, under Col. Gowan, OF Boston,
have succeeded in raising from her former
position corvette of sixteen guns, in entire
condition and in good state representation.
The vessel was raised by means Of the cais-
sons Of the Company, which, until within a
few days, have not all been ready for the
work required of them. The corvette is the
first vessel that has been raised whole, and
now that the machinery for raising the YES.
sells is in order, it is confidently expected
that the remainder of the work will be pro-
secuted without delay. During the past
ten months the Company have been engaged
in destroying certain of the vessels under
water, and in raising the peices. About fif-
teen ships of war have been broken into
fragments by blasting, and the greater por-
ton of the material of which they were COM
posed has been raised

ST. LOUIS, July 26.-Our dispatches from
Leavenworth of Both, by the U. s. Express
Go. to Boonville, say Geographic advices
have been received at Fort Leavenworth
from Washington, announcing the depar-
ture Of special messenger with dispatches
from the War Department for General Har-
ney.
On receipt of the dispatches, which are
understood to relate TO the division Of the
columns now on the march, an express will
be sent forward Immediately to overtake
headquarters which were last reported with
in forty miles Of Fort kearney.
Advices from Fort Laramie to the 18th
contain nothing Of interest.
Gov. Denver is expected to the garrison
to-day, and on his arrival will be received
with military honors.
His visit is undoubtedly connected with
the view of withdrawal Of the troops from
Fort Scott, and with the view of codcerting
measures TO replace them.
1t is said that Gov. ID. deprecates the re-
moval Of the troops from Fort Scott, and
does not deem the proper moment to have
arrived for such action.
The notes of the American Bank, Balti-
more, reported insolvent, have been extern
sively circulated in the Territory.
