Sale of Raleigh and CASTOR II. II. Stock

Sale of Raleigh and CASTOR X. II. Stock.
A friend writes us from Raleigh, that
$13 600 worth of stock, sold by the Raleigh
and CASTOR r. r. Co., in Raleigh, few
days ago, at auction, brought an average of
$42 % per share.
It will be remembered that at the sale of
the State stock in this Company, last Novem-
Der, 1852, 800 worth were disposed of for
State bonds, at small premium. AS State
bonds were then worth $50 per hundred,
of course the stock netted that price SO

cities are nearer the great commercial cen
tre-New York-than Wilmington.
Now, we suggest to the merchants of Pc
tersburg and Norfolk that the recommen-
dation of the Moler and other newspapers
of both cities. that their merchants send all
their goods to Raleigh, via Raleigh and
CASTOR Railroad, is bad "policy."
If the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
is Their best FEEDER as it unquestionably is,
they, in return, will show very bad spirit
if "gocd ueighborhood deprives it of all
the business they can. Would it not be
better to divide their business bet ween
these Railroads that equally serve them.
Our people will soon find out where their
friends reside, and the interest all our people
have in the North Carolina Railway as great
State work, and as a helper to pay taxes
and debt, commends this subject forceably
to their attention.
The new policy the State has Inaugural
ted in the management Of her principal
Railroad will soon enable it to pay divi-
dends into tho Treasury of the State. But
if defeated il. this result 10y citizens of Vir-
ginia because they are stockholders in the
Raleigh and Castor Railroad, which has
so long enjoyed monopoly Of this through
business they will know where to send
their freights and where to buy their
goods.
We do not fear the trial-Iet it come
To our friends we say, keep your eyes
open and look out for the "hnyfmo0n stem
Gil plates - q via Raleigh and CASTOR Rail-
road - that are said to be in secret circula-
ton and somehow get on to peoples boxes
without orders.
We say again, we do not fear the en-
counter between the merchants of Norfolk
and Petersburg in trying to sustain the old
monopoly route against the interest Of the
people of North Carolina.
We have no fears for our Railroads and
our sea-ports. The President and Directors
of the North Carolina Railroad Company
are "masters of the situa5ion,'' and they
may form or dissolve all alliance with
other roads that their interests seem to
demand, and if reasonably done they will
be sustained.

RALEIGH N. c., Aug. 20.
The designations of all the Faculty of the Uni

tees and accepted to take effect at the December
annual meeting of the Board, when new elections
will be had.
The Trustees have appointed committee
to report scheme for thorough examination.
The resignation of the remaining mem
bers of the Faculty is in accordance with
our expectations intimated in an article a
few days since and it will be seen that
there is now no impediment in the way of
thorough reorganization. We appre-
bend, though, from the tenor of the above
dispatch, that no definite action will be
taken by the Trustees until their annual
meeting, at which time the committee APP
pointed will be prepared to report.

There seems to be so much uncertainty enter
tanned as to the final summing up OF the PACKING

previously expressed opinion that the final sum

sol. 600 to LOCO 900 head. Whether the increased
consumption of the country and the comparatively
low prices now current will be sufficient to nulfy
this large increase is matter for the future to de-
termine. Thus far the consumptive demand mas

pr.cuipa rEE GREAr EAsrERN.-The following


ia from the Liverpool Albisn, January Is:
After her recent arduous performances the aTeas at
Eastern has become more than ever an object OF
interest, and now that she is bodily out Oh the
water she,is in still greater degree sight to be
seen. Her projected duty for the ensuing SUM sum.
| mer-that of conveying passengers from New lorK
to the Paris Exhibition-has rendered thorough
overhsuling and reftting necessary. Part OF this
refit has been in progress for some weeks, out TO
render it complete an outside survey was neces-
sary and to that end it was requisite that sne
should be placed on gTidlron: HvelPool, or
hut the effort would have been attended with some
risk, and more Inconvenience; and it was therefore
decided to place her on gridiron specially con-
structed for her on the foreshore about zoo yards
south of New Ferry, on the Cheshire q SIDE OF tne
river. It is placed about third Of the distance
between low-water mark Of spring tides and high
water mark and is about 400 feet long 6y TO feet
broad, resting firm bed OF clay ara snlnSle
The operation Of placing 30 huge mass on tnis
frame must Of necessity have been one Of consid-
erable delicacy and skill, and some doubt was ex-
pressed whether it could be safely performed
The risk certainly appeared to be great. Inc nrst
and only attempt was made with the morning ude
on Saturday, and as the monster ghded quietly
Simplest sim lest thing in the world. The Great Eastern
moved from: her moorings shortly after o'clock
drawing IS feet inches Of watsr. She was pro-
PEELED by her screw, and was assisted Dy g. tug OF

easily to the prepared for her. without single
hitch. She was favored by smooth water. She
was at once secured in her position by powerful
anchors and chain cables, and in the early after
noon was high and dry. The first glance at dis
tance Of one hundred yards or so was disappoint,
ing, for the long, low line Of beach had the effect
Of making her appear much shorter and altogether
however, her vast size was at once apparent. It
WAS quite an exercise, especially with the mud
ankle-deep, to walk round her. For 18 or 20 feet
her plates were covered with q peculiar kind Of
gray weed like coarse hair, which, to any one
standing quite underneath, gave her shell the ap-
pearance Of the skin of huge Polar bear just
emerged from his icy bath The wintry surround
ings gave strength to this comparison. Her screw
appears to be very small in proportion to her size,
and it is marvellous how it can have any command
over her enormous bulk Her paddle-wheels are
of course immense, but, as she now lies, the
lowest paddle is fully II feet or IL feet above the
head of the spectator on the beach. There is nov
full complement Of worhngmen engaged upon
her. and she will no doubt be ready to enter upon
her duties in good time

Lieutenant HENDn1oKs, being notified Of the fact,
put the case in Officer CHApn1AN's hands, who soon
succeeded in arresting the parties. It appeared
that one of the thieves had concealed, himself in
the store and opened it to his oonfreres about the
middle of the night, and the robbery was then
easy. One ofthe robbers was captured by the up
town police, and the remaining three were arrested
by Officer CHAPMAN. The goods have been mostly
recovered, and the robbers will have a chance Of
