The AQuzDUcT.-rhe wedges supporting the
center OF the great arch at Cabin John, on the
Washington Aqueduct, were removed Yesterday,
the I'd July. AS the wedges were removed, the
weight was thus gradually thrown upon the
abutments.
Marks made. upon the keystOnes Of the arch
were carefully observed by leyeling instruments
during the gradual removal of the center. and no
settlement could be detected by these delicate
instruments.
Thus the largest stone arch in the world stands
a. another monument of the skill of the United
States engineers
The span Of this arch is 30 feet, width 20 feet,
rise 81 feet inches. Material, Quincy granite

PROCLAMATION OF QUEEN VICTORIA:
Whereas, We are happily at peace with

themselves United States and certain
States calling themselves Confederate
States of America, and, whereas, as we
being ut peace with the Government of
the United States, have declared our roy
al determination to maintain strict and
impartial neutrality in the contest between
said contesting parties; we, therefore,
have thought fit by, and with the advice
of our Privy Council. to issue our royal
proclamation, and we hereby warn all
our royal subjects and all persons what
ever under our protection, that if any of
them shall presume in view of our high
displeasure to do any acts contrary to
to their duty and position Of neutrality in
said contest or in violation of the law of
nations, and more especially in aiding
by military service either of the contend
ing parties as commissioned, or non
commissioned officers of soldiers, or by
serving as officers, sailors or marines on
board any ship, or vessel of war, or
transport in the service of either of the
contending parties, or by engaging to or
going to any place on the sea with intent
to engage in any such service, or by
procuring or attempting to procure with
in Her Majesty's dominions, at home or
abroad, others to do SO, or by fitting out
any ship or vessel to be employed as
ship of war or privateer, or transport,
by either of the contending parties, or
by breaking or endeavoring to break any
blockade law actually established by or
on behalf of either Of the sad contending
parties, or by carrying officers, soldiers,
dispatches, arms, militia y stores, or ma
terials of any kind considered and Deem
ed to be contraband of war, according

the use of either of said contending par
ties; all parties SO offending will incur and

Oar state Army.

> We of Wisconsin have been loud in
our professions of loyalty, and arc 10
doubt ready to make good all we have
said. We have had a good deal of drill
ling and drum beating, of marching AMI
music, fuss and feathers, but not man
has been ordered out of tho State, ant
to-day there is not full regiment enlist
cd for the war. The Legislature now
contemplate raising five or six regiments
at an expense of about million dollars.
Tho question. naturally occurs, what is oil
this for. Is there any reason to expect
that the United States will need the SER
vices of these men Has the Governor
any assurance that they will be called
for ! If there is any reasonable expee-
tation that these troops will be called for,
tic people will not care for the expense,
but it seems as if the State had played
at soIdicry long enough. Thousands a
dollars paid, hundreds of thousands sub
seriLed, State bonds for a million, five or
six rec iments, is an outlay rather large
unles, work is to be DONE The enthu-
siasm of the people will grow cool, IN
less VIC have men in the field ere long.

The Legislatures Opinion o.
Our Banking avy.

A recent vote in the Assembly goes
far to show what estimate that body pla-
ecs on the Banking Law of this State.
The question was being diseased how to
dispose of the bonds of tho State which
are to be issued to raise the war fund.-
Mr.. GRAHAM moved that the bills of all
Banks in this State which keep their Sc
curities good with the Comptroller, I'M
der the law be received. The motion
was lost by vote of II to 65. We
doubt whether the people will see the
propriety of the Legislature making
Banking Law, under whose operation
il dare not trust the bonds of the State.
