Rebel Ships i'm French Ports.

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times makes some interesting and
important statements relative to vessels
being built In French ports, for the En-
peror of China" alias JEFF. Davis. TWO
cuirassed ships, originally contracted
for by rebel agents, and now under con-
struction at Bordeaux and Nantes, are
about to be sold, according to an an
nouncement in the French official mill
tary organ, to the Chinese Government.
These are doubtless the two vessels re-
ferred to by the rebel Secretary of the
Navy. Mallory, in his last report who
after mentioning the failure to get the
iron clads from English ports, speaks
confidently of different result in the
case of the two building in France. This,
if the Times correspondent is correct, is
a shallow ruse, played out in England,
for the accomplishment of what even the
French Emperor dare not openly do
since the emphatic assurance by our
government that the escape of iron clads
from English or French ports into the
rebel service would be regarded as an
act of war against the United States.
The game proposed would seem too old
to be attempted with any reasonable
hope of hoodwinking either the people of
the United States or /" the rest of man
kind
1t seems from this letter, also, that the
Florida, Georgia and Rappahannock are
now in French ports. The first has re-
cruited an entirely new crew at Brest,
her old crew having abandoned her. The
second is undergoing repairs, and the
third is receiving an equipment, which,
if completed, will convert her into a war
vessel. Mr.. Dayton, our Minister in
France has protested against these pro-
ceedings, but no stop had been put to
them by the French Government.
England has discovered that IRON
clads built in her ports, for JEFF. Davis
under any of his various aliases, are a
very poor investment. They have ser
we'd to run up an account of numerous
and formidable items against her. OF
which the people of this country will de-
mand settlement at no distant day.
She has wisely concluded to leave the
business. The French Emperor ought
to be too good financier to desire to
take it up where England has dropped

PRoPosED RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION
The Massachusetts Legislative Commit
tee on Railways and Canals are engaged
in hearing on the petition of the Bos-
ton and Lowell Railroad Company to
consolidate with the Concord Railroad,
so as to have one corporation between
Boston and Concord. The ultimate in
tention, if this consolidation can be
effected, is to unite the Northern and
Vermont Central Roads, and also the
Ogdensburg Railroad in this same cor
poration, thus having only one company
to manage a continuous line of road from
Boston to Ogdensburg.
Governor Gilmore, of New Hampshire,
and Judge Upham, President of the Con-
cord, Manchester and Lawrence Road,
were examined before the Committee on
Wednesday, as witnesses opposed to the
project, and the hearing was then adj
iourned until to-day, to hear the testi-
mony of Governor Smith, of this State,
on the part of the petitioners.

whose very presence alone was sufficient
to throw ray of sunshine in the most

The present state officers were unani-

National Union Convention were elected
and were instructed by resolution to
vote for Abraham Lincoln for the presi-
Dental nomination. The resolution was
unanimously adopted as follows
Resolred, That the President Of the Uni

midst of trials unsurpassed, by his nm
questioned honesty and patriotism-by
his answering devotion to the best in
terests of his imperiled country-by his
steady and lawful progress towards the
suppression of the rebellion and the an
initiation of the cause of it-by his i'm
partiality in the distribution of the mil
itary power in his hands-and by the
entire devotion of every faculty of his
heart and head to the welfare of his
country-has won our entire confidence,
and the grateful plaudits which he re-
ceives from the wise and good of other
lands who sympathise with us in our
national struggle; we do therefore, re-
gard his reelection to the place he now
holds and the completion of his wise po-
litical and war policy, as vitality impor-
tant to the best interests of the country !;
and we hereby request our delegates to
give him their united support in the
coming national convention.
