DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

Official notice has been received at this de-
partment that the Spanish authorities of the
Island of Cuba have adopted new regulation
concerning passports. That regulation requires
all passengers arriving at the ports of that Is
land, to present authentic official passports
properly vised by the Spanish Consul in the
ports of departure, and that in case of passen-
gers failing to exhibit such passports so requir-
ed they will not be permitted to land without
compliance with special conditions which will
be found very incODyenient in many cases and
impossible in others.
Notice has also been received at this depart
ment that the papers purporting to be passpor
issued by the Mayor of New Orleans and Wis
ed BY the Spanish Consul there are rejected
under the before mentioned regulation.
Notice has also been received that persons
residing in the United States seaports who call
themselves passport agents." are in the habit
Of giving certificates in which it is stated that
they have applied to the Department of State
for passports, and that these certificates being
vised by the Spanish Consul are presented as
passports in Cuban ports and are rejected
there under the same regulation before mem
toned.

The Discharge Of surra,1.

A special Washington dispatch to the Bos-
Advertiser notices some of the salient points
in the Surratt trial thus:
The discharge of John II, Surratt from cus
tody to-day by Judge Wylie created great sur
prise among the bar of the district as well as
among the citizens generally. The Indictment
against, him upon which he was on trial was
drawn by District-Attorney Darlington. and
was under the conspiracy act of july 1862
Ihe defence at last pleaded statute Limitation.
winch is here Two years in this class of cases,
and the court sustained the plea and set Sur
raft at liberty. The entire course of the case
has been as follows:-Surratt came into courL
on the I'D of June last and pleaded not guilty,
and his counsel asked to have the case contin-
ued until September, which was done. On
1ne Zlst OF September the counsel for the
defence asked to withdraw the plea of
not guilty and this was granted. They
then pleaded that the Presidents amnes-
ty of July was sufficient pardon. To this
the counsel for the prosecution entered de-
murler, holding that the exception made by
the President in his proclamation included
Surratt The court sustained the demurrer,
holding that pleading the pardon of the Presi
dent was virtually an admission of guilt, and
was ABOUT to proceed with the sentence when
case was adjourned till to-day, when the
whole bar expected sentence. At the opening
OF the court the counsel for the defence put in
q plea OF statute limitation, claiming that as
more than two years had elapsed from the
date OF the offence as charged to the time the
Indictment was found, there could be no prose-
cutlon. The prosecution claimed that it was not
necessary to state in the Indictment the fact
that Surratt had fled the country, and remain
ed away until brought back in March, 1867,
but that they could make that matter of
proof. The court ruled against them and the
prisoner was discharged Judge Wylie was
then asked to certify the case to the full bench.
which he refused, and then to hold the prison
er to his bail, which he also refused, and Sur
raft was released. This does not prevent
new Indictment, but it is not probable that airy
VIII De iound. Inc prosecution had three
now witnesses. one of whom travelled with
Surratt from Eimira to Harrisburg, and two
others who met him here in Washing ton the
morning of the assassination.

P. NJ. BLUEs.-The Portland Mechanic
Blues are considering the idea of an excursion
to Dover N. H., and sent a committee consist
ing of Lieuts. Pencil and .Loveitt and private
Halves, to that place on Thursday, who were
very courteously received by the Mayor and
other citizens, and were handsomely enter
tanned by Mr. True of the American House.
The report of the committee is in favor of the
excursion. They found hill which is just the
place for encampment while there, and there
is general desire on the part ofthe citizens of
Dover, that the visit should be made. The
Blues can be assured Of a most enthusiastic re-
ception in that place. -

WE are requested by Mr.. William Causer to
say that there is no truth whatever in the arti-
Gle that appeared in the Argus of Monday last.
charging that Cation was stabbed in his (Cau-
ser's) shop by rowdies at 1890 A. M. Sunday.
and afterwards thrown out upon the sidewalk.
Mr. Causer's shop was closed at twenty min
utes before II o'clock Saturday night. Prior
to its being closed Cation came in, and although
he was bleeding, walked around few minutes
and then went out No one molested him, and
he appeared able to take care of himself. The
policemen will testify as to the time that the
shop was closed

of $l0,994. The rails were of wood, fas-
tened to timbcrs or stone imbedded in the
earth, and were covered with iron plate
from four to fve-eighths of an inch thick,
and from two and half to four and a
quarter inches wide. These plates often

not peculiar to this road at that period, as
the most of the early roads were constructed
in the same manner.
From 1881 railroads multiplied in every
direction, and in glancing, as we have,
backward to the origin of these enterprises
only over the short space of forty years,
the mind is filed with inexpressible amaze
ment with the stupendous strides of I'M
provement which have been made in that
time. In round numbers there were COM
pleted in 1855, in the United States, forty
thousand miles of railroad, at an average
cost of forty thousand dollars mile, in
cluding equipment, and one-third as much
more projected. The total number of miles
Of railway open to traffic in Great Britain
in 1859 was, in round numbers, ten thou
sand miles, at an average cost per mile of
twelve thousand pounds sterling, or sixty
Thousand dollars. At the same period
there were completed on the continent of
Europe ten thousand FIVE hundred miles,
and in the Asiatic countries some four hun
dred and fifty miles; making a total tn the
world, completed, about sixty-two thou
sand miles. We have no space to speak
of the improvements in railroad machinery
Of every kind-in the engines, the car
riages, and the rails-which are no less
than the extensions of the roads.

admirers. At the time when the French
nobility emigrated, she was young, lively,

Anecdote Of Queen Victoria.

Grace Greenwood says-An anecdote il
Illustrating Queen Victoria's admirable good
sense and strict domestic discipline, came to
me directly from one who witnessed the
occurrence. One day, when the Queen was
present in her carriage at military review,
the Princess Royal, then rather wilful
girl of thirteen, sitting on the front scat,
seemed disposed to be rather familiar and
coquetish with some yong officers on the
escort. Her majesty gave several reproving
looks, without avail winked at her, she
wouldn't stay winked." At length, in fiirt-
ing her handkerchief over the side of the
carriage she dropped it-too evidently not
accidentally. Instantly two or three young
heroes sprang from their saddles to return
it to her fair hand but the awful voice of
royalty stayed them. "Stop, gentlemen p
exclaimed the Queen leave it just where
it lies. Now my daughter, get down from
the carriage and pick up your handker-
chief" There was no help for it. The
royal footman let down the step for the little,
royal lady, who proceeded tolift from the dust
the pretty piece Of cambric and lace. She
blushed good deal, though she tossed her
head saucily, and she was doubtless angry
enough, but the mortifying lesson may have
nipped in the bud her first impulse towards
coquetry. 1t was hard, But it was whole
some. How many American mothers would
be equal to such piece of Spartan discip-
line?
