We were shown yesterday by Capt. S. L. Fremont,
Esq, Engineer and superintendent OF the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad Company, two-what we should
call-most splendid Passenger Cars manufactured at
the shops of the above road and Tor use On the same
These Cars are, in every respect, first class. They
will each hold some sixty passengers-strongy built,
beautifully painted aud bid fair to prove as servceabe
if not more than any brought from the North. The
wood work, with some trihing exceptions,-such as
strips OF mOuldDgs, &C.-ail grew in this State The
iron work cast at the Foundry belonging to tie

the Cars were manufactured.
kind OF spring is used upon these Cars, which
the Superintendent thinks will operate very nicely
causing the Car to run evenly and smoothly than
those set upon the india rubber spring new and con-
venient mode Of ventilation has also been adopted.
Take them all in ALL think the above coaches will
compare tavoraby with any similar work of the kind in
the United States and when recolect the fact they
cost more, but if anything, triae less than they
could be obtained at the North for, we think the

Merchant Vessels Converted into Nen-of-vyor.

The Baltimore Exchange observes that the c0asting
steamers which were chartered by the United States
government tor the Paraguayan expedition, and have
since been permanently added to the navy have only
been meamorphOsed into the likeness and not the rea
ty of vesses-owar Built for purposes of commerce,
their construction will prevent them from being
suitable for any other purposes They besides,
old and wrechedly out OF repair when purchased by the
government that they had to be newly panked and
newly coppered, and new engines and new boilers put
into them, expense Of months of labor and large
of money. Even then they unfit for service.
One of them broke down in few days after leaving
New York to join the Paraguay expedition, and had to
put into Pensacola for repairs and then made another
start her commander writing home that he never ex
pectcd to reach Brazil in safety She again broke down,
and is at PERI ambuco waiting for another boiler
IN order to return home. Several others had similar
breakdOwns and is considered great piece Of good
fortune that any of them reached home in safety.
The result of this experiment ought to satisfy the
government that dependence be placed upon mer
chant vessels for naval purposes. 1t was as much as
any of the chartered vessels Of the Paraguay expedition
could do and than all have vet DONE to reach their
destination and return in safety If they had been called
upon to fire single gun, should never probably have
heard of of them again. 1t is not only unjust to the
public interests to employ such vessels but reckless
exposure of the lives and reputation of the gallant men
who are sent in them.-Richmond DispatCh

Remarkable Case of CIrcumstantinI Evidence In
ENGLAND.


The English papers contain report OF the recent
trial OF a young named John Isaac Jones an at
torneys clerk, for the wiu murder Harriet Baker
Ledbury, on the 18th Of May, 1859. The deceased
an elderly woman had the care of the premises of tile
employer of the accused night and was found on the
18th OF May, dead upon the floor Of her room having
apparently been Stranged with rope placed about her
neck. Her clothes were considerably burnt, and from
appearances it the design Of the murderer TO burn
both body and building to conceal his crime The office
robbed Of considerable money. The evidence col
ected against the accused of most remarkable,
though wholly of a circumstantial character.
1t evident in the first place that the building was
not orcby entered and the suppOston therefore, was
that she had been murdered by some who had OBJ
tanned access to the house in a friendly way The wO-
man when last mendng pair of pantaloons be-
longing to the prisoner At that time there moth
ing upon the table OF deceased but the next morning
there glasses there Of which contained gin and
water The prisoner had recently bought gin and
at ten o'clock OF the previous nj ht going to-
wards the Office. The next morning the accused got up
unusually early and went out. Near a spot where he
was found parcel of silver coin, and among them was
sXpence identified having been stolen from the Office
the night of the murder In the prisoners box there
was found bludgeOn, such as might have caused the
blow which the forehead OF the deceased.
There were other suspicious circumstances, such as
the prisoner being hard up for money before the
murder while at the time OF his arrest about 500 was
found upon him, for the possession OF which be could
not account. Postage stamps were also stolen, ana
SXtyour were found in his possession. On the 28th Of
June some ashes were found in the prisoners fireplace,
which proved to be the ashes of Bank of England notes;
and, as two bank notes missed from Mr. Masefcds
Office it was suggested that these were the two stolen
notes, which the prisoner had destroyed. Part Of the
word bearer was still visible the ash. 1t also APP
pcared that when he bought the gin it put into
green bottle, which he promised to return. 1t was
proved however that in order to do this after the
der, he exchanged white bottle for green one, and
washed it with gin. In an envelope in his possession
there were found some blue stamps which cost ID 1t
appeared that every stamp marked with letters and
those found the prisoner were shown by the letters
not to be the duplicates with those which remained and
therefore they might have formed part Of the sheet
of stamps. There was another popularity which seemed
to show that they belonged to the same parcel.
Notwithstanding all this cumulative evidence Tho

the accused who seemed good deal astonsbed at the
result of the trial. though lie loudly declared the limo
