THE BALTIMORE AND PoToMAC RAILRoAD.-There
will be meeting of the directors of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company in this city to-
morrow for the consideration of matters of in
terest to the enterprise, among which is the neces
sary extension of the time limited in the charter for
the commencement and completion of the work,
for which an application will be made to the Legis-
lature We learn that project is talked of among
the friends of the road, to obtain act of Assem-
bly, authorizing subscription on the part of the
counties interested in it, and through which it is
to pass, by means of the issue of bonds, the inter
est of which is to be paid by the counties until the
road is built and able to assume them, and the
counties to be protected by lien on the work, &c
Doubts entertained of the consttutionality and
legal effect of the proposed measure, and no action
has been taken by the board on the subject. Any
act applied for, however, would be conditioned up
on the favorable opinion of the Court of Appeals,
and subject to vote of the people of the countie:
interested.

I LETTER FROM DR.. LIvINGsToN.-At a meeting of
the Geographical Society in New York held on
Thursday evening, very interesting letter from
DR.. Livingstone was read. In it he gives
count of his last attempt to open the interior of
Africa. He tells how he assembled the river Shire
hundred miles from its confluence with the Zanebeze,
and found hospitable and Independent people,
living upon sweet potatoes, sorghum and other
grains, pineapples, lemons and oranges. In the up
per part of the Shire valley he found cotton of two
kinds, one Indigenous, short in the staple, but very
strong and woolley to the feeling, the other very
fine and long in the staple The latter he pro
nounced equal to the American upland cotton

VIRGINIA SrATIsrIcs.-In the biennial report OF
the Second Auditor of Virginia, we see that the
estimated aggregate population of the State for
1859 is l,64S, 100, being increase of 1885, 500.
number of slaves is estimated to be 81 l54, being
an increase of 36,626 upon 1850, when it was
472,52s. The number of free negroes is SO, lis, an
increase of 1875 since 1850. From all this it is
reasonable to expect that the census of 1850 will
show total population in Virginia of nearly
100000.
The registered number of marriages in the State.
for 1857, was 5,997--of births 3S,764-of deaths,
I6,575-excess of births over deaths %, lS9. These
returns are not perfect, some of the county Com
missioners having failed to transmit their reports
to the Auditor, as they are bound by law to do.
The wealth of the State, in property of ali kinds,
amounts to the grand aggregate of 81, l43, &c.
0s2. 80, which, if divided equally amongst the
white population would give each person ST ,O5l %.
The number Of lawyers is 1858, and of physicians

Buckle, the author of the History of Civilza-
ton, has been sued for libel, in England, for pub
fishing "blasphemous" sentiments. The London
Critic remarks:
We cannot but think that the tone adopted at the
meeting of the Juridical Society, respecting the
law of Blasphemous or anti-Religous Libel affords
anything but an encouraging insight into the views
which are entertained among our leading lawyers
as to the liberty of thought 1t is somewhat late
in the day for Mr.. Lewis, Q. c., to stand forward
to defend the persecution prosecution (ca it by
what you willy of the free expression of opin-
ion, or for the Lord Chancellor to lay it down judi
cially that it could possibly be ga grave offence
We do not, of course, assume the championship of
scornfuy of the truths of Christianity but there is
a wide difference between leaving such to the ig-
nominy and disgrace which they bring upon them
selves, and putting in force against them the ter
tors of the criminal law. Mr.. Phillimore quite
right when he said that christianity ought to
spurn being defended by weapons from the armory
of error" Long ago was the voice of Blanco White
raised against this perverted of the law; and it
was to be hoped that the time might arrive
when this anomaly could be removed from our
code. Disagreeing we do, toto colo, from the
attack which Mr.. Buckle levelled against Sir John
Coleridge, in the matter of Pooley we by means
think that the administration of the law in that
case creditable to the intelligence of the coun-
try.
AS if to make up every rag of intolerance that
Shelley was referred to, and the decision of Lord
Eldon of course defended, by Mr.. Lewis. To this
Mr.. Phillimore replied, with quaint sequitur,
that, "although he would not select Shelley as the
tutor OF his children the very last person he would
select to fill that office was Lord Eldon.'
