We gave in our paper of yesterday a full ac- count of the trial trip of the first American ocean steamship, the Washington, the pioneer “of our ocean steamships. We congratulate all eoncerned in her success. She is indeed a noble specimen of American naval architecture, and will reflect honor and credit on her builders and projectors. Considering the perfect manner in which this vessel has been built and equipped, we are sur- prised at the expedition with which it has been done. The first timber of the frame was laid on the seventh of September last, and on the 30th of January last she was afloat. In three months from the last mentioned day her engine was on board, and in working order. When we look at the steamships that have been constructed by the government, and com- pare them with the Washington, built by private enterprise, the contrast is strongly in favor of the Washington. While not more than nine’ or ten and twelve miles could be tra- versed by the Mississippi, under favorable cir- cumstances, fifteen and a half or sixteen have been made by the Washington. Nor is this all. The greatest difference is observable in the beauty of the models of the vessels. We need not say that the model of the Washington is much superior to that of the Mississippi. On the score of expense, the difference is yet great- er. The Mississippi cost in round numbers, $500,000, while the whole cost of the Washing- ton, including expensive articles, which the Mississippi does not require, was only $250,000. The silver plate belonging to the ‘Washington is magnificent, and comprises enough to stock a large store in Broad- way, and this with her linen and ca- bin furniture, did not form any part of the expense of the Mississippi, and would fully make up for the armament on board the latter. Asa vessel of war, the Washington would favor- ably compare with the Mississippi, in strength ! steamboats for aterm of years. This isa valu- able privilege, and if carried out energetically, cannot fail to realize a fortune to the enterprising person who undertakes it. Thus it goes—our big conquering republic is teaching her young sisters how to avail them- selves of their resources. Tue Veirow Fever auone ovr Troors.—We were informed a day or two since that many of our young men who are desirous of taking part in the war with Mexico, are deterred from volunteering or going into the regular army, by certain reports that were set afloat here and elsewhere, to the effect that the yellow fever had broken out among our troops in Mexico. We have the best authority for saying, that at the last accounts received from both armies, that under General Taylor and that under General Scott, that the troops were in good health. It is only in the neighborhood of Vera Cruz that the yellow fever prevails to any extent. In the table or uplands it is unknown. Where Gen. Scott and the army now are, the altitude of the table lands is some seven or eight thousand feet above the level of the sea, and the climate is as healthy and salu- brious as any part of the world, There was, we believe, no yellow fever among ourtroops on the Rio Grande last year, noris there any probability that there will be any this year. The fact may be attributed to the perpetual ex- citement in wiiich the men were in, which, as it is supposed, has a counteracting effect upon a sickly climate. Sream to Beteium.—The Chamber of Com- merce of Antwerp has recently appointed from its members a committee to examine and report ona project to establish a line of steam naviga- tion between that port and New York, brought to their notice by M. Camille = Hardy de Beau- lieu. This committee is composed of Messrs. Catteaux, Wallel, Fuchs, Osy, Nottebohm, and Mauroy. Tue Jupician Nomivations.—We again pub- lish the whole of the judicial nominations, as far as they have been made, including the tick- et forthiscity. Wedo so for the purpose of keeping the nominations before the people, and every other quality. While all who had a hand in the Washington are deserving of the greatest credit, we must not omit to mention Mr. Edward Mills, the general agent of the company, and the man through whose energy and enterprise the scheme was originated and carried out. He is deserving of ull praise, for not only establishing this line, but for overseeing the building of the vessel, and for making her cost so reasonable as it 18, with- out omitting to provide everything that was necessary to make her the most substantial and elegant vessel afloat. Our government have been taught a lesson in building steamships of war, which they ought to improve and profit by. In spite of the remon- strances of the press, and of our merchants, they would undertake to build steam war ships, and the consequence was that nearly every one they constructed was a failure when placed in com- parison with the Wushington. ‘The expense they incurred in making their abortions would have been sallicient, if put into the hands of such gentlemen as Mr. Mills and Captain Hewitt, to build first class vessels, and leave a balance large enough, ufter finishing three, to construct two more equal to the Washington. The fact is, four steam war vessels can be built in this city,{by our ship builders, for the same sum that it cost the government to build two. Inrercovrse wiru CoLomusa. he republic of Colombis, a few years after having declared itself independent of Spain, divided itself into the three independent Republics of New Grana- da, Venezuela, and the Ecuador. With the two first named, the United States have always kept up considerable direct intercourse, as they lay | on the Atlantic side of the continent chiefly, whilst with the Ecuador, our relations have not been so direct in consequence of its situation on the Pacific side. The trade with New Granada and Venezuela, from their different seaports, viz Chagres, Curthagena, Riode la Hacha, Mara- eaibo, and La Guayra, has always beeff one of considerable profit to the United States, receiv- ing as we do from thence, coflee, cocoa, indigo, hides, gold, and various articles of produce; in return for which the outward cargoes mostly consist of flour, manufactured goods, &c. Among all the various South American Inde- pendencies, probably none are more stable in their governments than these two, and none possess more natural resources within them- selves than they do; every variation of cli- whom we again recommend to investigate well the claims and acquirements of every candidate, before they cast their votes. Fast Satrinc.—The bark Success, Capt. Lo- vell, now at this port, made a voyage from Bel- fast, Me. to Norfolk, thence to Sligo, and back to New York, in forty-seven sailing days. Navar.—United States ship of the line Ohio, Capt. Stringham from Vera Cruz, bound to Bos- ton, arrived at Havana on the 13th inst. Rewer To THe Starvine.—We give the fol- lowing letter without comment. It speaks for itself :— ‘Wasnincron, May 23, 1847, Dear Sin— We deeply regret to hear from Ireland, that ‘famine 1s still continuing there its work of death, Foeling it a nty to aid in allwviating this dreadful calamity, we herein transmit five thousand dollars, with which please purchase food, and ship for distribution in the way to effect the greatest good to the greatest number of the suffering poor.

Avousta at Sr, Lovss,—Notbing could exceed the en- thusiasm with which Augusta was received during her late engagement at St. Louis, Such a sensation was created throughout the city by the reports of the won- derful things which she did, that members of the Society of Friends laiA aside for once their austerity, and visited the theatre to see for themselves. An instance is men- tioned of one fair quakeress, who was wrought up toa high degree of admiration, and on the occasion of one of the artistes’ most beautiful performances, gave way to hor feelings of delight. and arising in her place threw a bouquet which she had been holding in her band, upon the stage at the fect of Augusta. Madame A. passed through Louisville, en route for Cincinnati, on the 21st.

Large tracts of table lands, at an eleva- tion of from one thousand to ten thousand feet above the level of the sea, oceur in various parts, and in proportion to the elevation so of course is the climate modified; thus the city of Bogota, the capital of New Granada, containing somé 40,000 inhabitants, enjoys a climate of perpetual spring, although it is in latitude 4 north of the equator only, but the plain on which itis situated is nine thousand feet above the sea. From these great variations in climate it can be readily under- stood thatevery kind of produce can be raised, both that of warm as well as of temperate cli- mates. »,The same remarks apply to Venezuela. The only difficulty, and a very serious one itis too, under which these countries labor, is the fa- cilities for internal transportation. The mountain- ous and ragged regions with which they abound, and the difficulties of making roads suitable for wheels, have, as yet, in a great measure, been in- superable, as they are but thinly settled with in- habitants, and have not as yet overcome the debts which the achievement of their independence forced them to incur. They are thoroughly awake, however, to the importance of quick and easy communication from the interior with the seaboard; and within the last year or two both governments have taken steps to avail them- telves of the great highways which the magnifi- cent rivers that flow through their territories offer to them. The rivers Orinoco and Apure, in Venezuela, and Magdalena and Cauca, in New Granada, are probably as magnificent streams, and ascapa- | ble of being turned to useful purposes, as are our own Mississippi and Missouri. They flow through valleys of unexampled fertility, and are joined by innumerable tributary streams, which form a means of communication with almost all | the provinces. The navigation on these rivers | has hitherto been confined to the primitive “champan” or flatboat, propelled by meaus of | poles, as was the custom on the Mississippi prior | to the introduction of steamboats, thus entailing | a vast expense, both in money and time, in the | transportation of goods and passengers. There is every probability, however, that American steamboats will ere long awaken the solitudes of these rivers. We understand that a couple of iron boats have recently been built in this city, and are soon about to depart for Santa Marta, in order to ply regularly on the Mugda- lena. These boats are built for a company that Has been formed in New Granada, and we have cromantic powers, All lovers of magic should prepare and pay this celebrated wizard a visit while he is with them. Patmo’s.—An amateur company commence a series of dramatic entertainments at this theatre, on the Ist of June, They open with the play of “Damon and Py- thias,” and the farce of the “ Irish Lion.” Signor Blitz performed at the American Theatre, New Orleaus, on the evening of the 18th inst. Mr. Collins closed his engagement at Louisville, on the evening of the 22d inst. Musical. Iratian Orena.—Last night closed the second season of the Italian company at Palmo’s. There was a tolera- blygood house, and “Lucrezia Borgia’? was performed in good taste. Much credit is duo to all the company for the manner in which they have performed the arduous duties of the two seasons, A climate, to which somo of their number were entirely unused, has seriously tried the health of several; but they have nobly sustained themselver, and deserved well of the public. Several be- nefits are to take place, after which the managers will enter upon the business of preparing for the fall season uptown. It must not be forgotten that Signora Pico takes her benefit on Friday next. The bare mention of the fact ought to be enough to secure a good house. We hope it may prove to be the case. The performances for that evening will be Donizetti's opera of “L’Elisir d? Amore,” anda dance by M'lle Dimer, Sig. M. Rapetti the leader of the orchestra, takes his benefit on Monday evening next. Arouto SaLoox.—The annual concert of Mr. George Loder takes place this evening at the Apollo Saloon.— The programme itself, independent of his professional claims asan artist of the first rank, is sufficient to draw a crowded house.

This proceeding created consid- erable disappointment among the trotting men, who have recently had their eager appetites drawn to the highest pitch; besides, a trotting appetite is unlike all others; the more it is feasted, the more ravenous it be- comes.

This is the first 1 have heard of the challenge. nor do I believeMr. Law authorized its publication. The following pri tion was made by my brother, J. H.

The proposition was, to put in $500, or any other sum, per boat, torun on any named day from the lower bay to Haverstraw bay and back. This wasagreed to by Mr. Law, and partially Px Mr. Newton. Captain Comstock wanted until Thu , it being necessary to m. Gaus seo his owners. Now, I say { will run the steamer C.

C. VANDERBILT. Inventors’ Institute. It will be recollected that at the meeting held in this city, a week or ten days since, composed of persons dis- posed to establish an Inventors’ Institute, for the encou- ragement and protection of the inventive talent of the country. a committee was appointed by those assembled to proceed to Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and inquire into and report on the correctness of the statements made by Dr. Solomon Andrews,” of that place, regarding the Perth Amboy Manufacturing Company, of the stock of which he holds a principal part; and also on the ex- pediency of establishing an Inventors’ Institute in any of the places submitted to the meeting by Dr, Andrews; and in case of the places submitted not being deem- ed expedient, that they should report another of their own ‘The committee having attended to their duty in this respect, and having announced their readiness to gubm their report. a public meeting of inventors, mechani and all others interested in inventions and the mechan! arts, was called at Clinton Hall last evening. for the pur- pose of hearing the report and adopting such measures as to those assembled might appear expedieut. At So’clock, P. M., the meeting was cailed to order, and Mir. Sewall Short placed in the chair, Mr, Buel and Mr. Johnson were appointed secretaries. Mr. Samvet Freer, the chairman of the committee, hereupon read the report. which. without recommending the third proposition of Dr. Andrews, recommended one like it—viz: one to the effect that, the individual p perty of Dr. Andrews, at Perth Amboy, without reuce to the Perth Amboy Manufacturing Co., be the basis of the Inventors’ Institute, that it continue in his hauds and ownership, and in lieu of his issuiug scrip or that he give hia individual who may associate with him, paya- obtigations to th: ble twelve months after date, for all moneys advanced tor establishing the Inventors’ Institute, with the under- standing that these obligations might, at the option of the boiders, be converted into stock whea due; it had provided that by that time a sutisfactory charter shall have been procured from the Legislature. Vhe report further recommended s general and liberal concurrence with Dr. Andrews, in establishing the Inventors’ Insti- tute, iu the belief that the central operations of the Institute will eventually be in the city of New York, On motion the report was received. Ou motion of Mr. Burt, oue of the secretaries, the re- port of the committee was read again. Dr. ANonews moved that # vote of thanks be tendered to the committee for their assiduity in attending to the matters committed to them Mr. Fieet, one of the committee, said that the reason be and the otber members of the committee, did not re- fer to the Perth Amboy Manufacturing Company, was not because the committee had not contidence in that association, but because they considered the individual property of Dr. Andrews fully adequate for the purpose proposed, He thought it advisable that Dr. Andrews should give to the meeting his views Dr, Anpnews then rose and requested the Secretary to read that part of the minutes of the last meeting, em- bodying the documvnt signed at the last meeting, to the effect that a cummittee be appointed to proceed to Perth Amboy and examine into the statements of Dr. Aa- dre and to report which of the three propositions made by Dr. Andrews, was the most advisable to select as the basis of the proposed institute, and in case none of them were adopted, then to propose one of their own. It having been read,— Dr. Anvxews said that the committee not having re- ported on vither of these propositions, nor on one of their own, he questioned whether it was correct to adopt the report. If he did not mistake. the committee had not the legal right to say that he must give # writ. ten obligation to issue scrip within one year, and in case of his not getting a charter, to refund the money. It would appear by the import of the report, that he was begging for money, but it was « mistake. He oontended that this commitiee had no right to say, that in case he should carry on the Inventors’ Institute himself, that in case he did not procure a charter, that he’ should refund the money, especially as the committee knew that he had procured a charter already. The third proposition which he proposed at the jormer meeting was to form ajoint stock company under the gencrel co- partnership law of New Jersey. As they have not adopted this proposition, he was not willing to borrow money in the way proposed by the committee. If he wanted money, he could obtain it on his property, with. out the assistance of any one. But he is willing to car- ry out the Institute himself—he hus the means, and has several inventions before him, which he thought very valuable, and why need he borrow money in the way proposed? He was opposed to the adoption of the report, and particularly to the con¢luding part, which he considered a labored attempt to prove that there is no place but New York where inventions can be carried out or fostered, For his part, he considered New York more in the light of a market for the sale of inventions, than as a place for producing them. It affords a good market for radishes and asparagus, but its soil will not produce them. The same may be said of inventions, There are no large mauufactories in this city, for Use obvious reason that real estate in the first Jace 1s too high, and mechanics cannot afford te work for the wages they can in the country, How is it that manufacturers and inventors have come into this and after dallying and waiting on the Mechanios’ tute, have left for their homes fifty dollars less in poe than wi they arrived, and all the satisfaction they procured was @ paltry medal, which he looked upon as nothing more or less than a certificate to humbug the community, The inventors, he said, are able and will take care of themselves, and notwithstanding the report, whether it is adopted or not, the Inventors’ In- stitute will be established, shall be established, and esta- lished this very night, under the title of * Sole a ‘Andrews and his Associates.” [Cremendous cheering } {am acquainted, said he, with only two of the commit- tee, but forall of them I have a high respect. He must, however, assert that they were actuated in making that report Ly local interests, It may be said that other places would do better than Perth Amboy, Well, be would admit it, What then? Let the institute go on, nevertheless. Whether the report be adopted or re- jected, however, he was determined that the Inventors’ Institute shoud be established. Mr. Fier, of the committee, stated that the plan ro- commended was the only one they could recommend undor the circumstances—one which, if Dr, Andrews would construe it property, he would consider highly complimentary to him. ‘They were ready (0 advance monvy, and when the Institute was legally authorized, they Would take stock. As for the Perth Amboy Manu: fucturing Company; they could not find out its busi- pees, or, Dr. Axpnews—I beg your pardon, sir; | laid before the committee the books of that Company, which contained every transaction of the company from the day of its birth to this day. Mr, Ftret—That was the case, but the committee had not time to inspect them. They, however, concluded to report as theyedid. As regards the Doctor's remarks about New York, he would say that the journey to Perth Amboy was 25 miles, either did they think that place so good #8 other places nearer New York. He would eay also, that few places within the circuit of New York has #0 emull a diversity of manufactures, and that the people were employed principally in fishing. In conclu sion, he thought that no place on the continent afforded as many facilities ay the city of New York does to in yentors and weehanics. There was no intention on the | part of Che committee to disparage Perth Amboy, Vir. Asunet Gerene anid that be thought the diseus- sion had taken an undue latitude, It the report be adopted, all of Dr, Audrews’ propositions are rejected ; if not, then the one proposed by the committer be adopt- ed, If that be the ease, it will be an individual concern, beewuse he will be & board of directors within himself, and be in fact # corporation within himself. ‘The third thought, « feasible one— | by ho ramtlg tar tly erga nee | fader that instit oad bewntes as many catt-geards en in eny other manner. ‘Mr. ie bye he should bys ay the re- ks of Dr. Andrews and Mr. there | war in reality mo difference between ones all. e com- the views of Doctor individual paper un- chartered, and e it the positic He doubted very aeaee Dr. An- find’any associates to join with him, with- out each giving some security to other. Mr. Gees then br ome the secretary to read the third proposition,and the proposed censtitution under it, which was done. Dr. Andrews said the Institute cannot be carried out according to that proposition, without the co-operation of others. He has now several inventions before him, five of which at all events he could select, and xive to the authors a share of stock each. There would then be a poard of dires:ors of five. ig one plan; bat there is evother, Many gentlemen his ucquaintauce were willing to go into it with him, but he did not want that. He wanted to bring it before the public, and did do it, in order to let inventors know all about it. inorder to bring the business to a close, he gave notice that he would carry it out himself under the 3d proposition, but he would not put in his property at the price he suid he would ut first, viz.: $20,000. the valuation of thy com- mittee. He would that amount, of which he would take the greater part, ‘The public may take the remainder if they please: but the first day of June next would be the last diy within which they would have the opportunity of subscribing, or taking any part in the establishment of this Invent- ors’ Institute. Mr. Fixer said he did not know what use there was in taking the question on adopting the report, after what Dr. Andrews had stated. DENT said that the motion was pro- meeting can establish an Institute .@ proposed, iri tive of Dr. Andrews. Mr. Girrorp thought the meeting had aright to adopt or reject the report. He was sorry to hear Dr. Andrews speak in the way he did of the fairs, because, were it not for those fairs, thousands would never see the inven- tions exhibited at them, ir. Portex said thet from what has been observed, © thought the report cannot be adopted. "The question of the adoption of the report was then taken, and it was rejected unanimously. ‘Mr. Quincy then proposed a vote of thanks to Br. Andrews, which was unanimously passed. Dr. Axpkews then rose to make @ proposition, whi ch hesaid would bea final one. Before making it, how- ever, he would return thanks for the last vote. He now moved that his third propositon be taken as the basis of the Inventor’s Institute, with $30,000 capital, and that a subscription list be opened peace tipo aie ey ‘a meet- ing of the stockho!ders be heldon the first Monday of June, to elect 9 board of directors. He would putin his property ‘at $25,000, and will take $27,000 worth of the stoek himself. ‘Mr, Portxn moved that the third proposition of Dr. Andrews be adopted by the meeting. Mr. Girroxp enquired if the constitution, under the third proposition, was included in the motion—to which Dr. Andrews replied that it was. Mr. Quincy said that by voting on this t gear the meeting would only give an expression of opinion on the proposed institute, and nothing more, for it could not be expected that’ the meeting would sanction that constitution without knowing whether it was in conso- nance with the spirit of the laws of New Jersey. Dr. Axorews’ motion was then submitted and carried unanimously. Mr. Porter moved that all who were willing to sub- scribe, be invited to put down their names for the amount of stock they were each willing to take. Before taking the question, Mr. Girrorp moved that the publictbe recommended to co-operate with Dr. An- drews in establishing the Inventors’ Institute, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Porter’s motion not having been seconded, the mover said, that he would like it to be passed, because it would be doing business. Dr. Anprews said, there was no need for doing it. Before making a motion to adjourn he wikhed to cor- rect an impression which was formed from his remarks, ashe judged from what one of the meeting said. He did not mean to disparage, or in any way oppose the American Institute ; all he wished to say was, that the inventors should and ought to have an institution of their own. Books of subscription to the stock of the Inventors’ Institute, under Dr. Andrews’ resolution were opened, after the meeting adjourned. Aty Intelligence. A Ficunative Genivs.—The most extraordinary ge- nius at figures wo have ever ‘secu, is a young man by the name of P. M. Dechong, of Lancaster co., Pennayl- vania.

C Beman’s shirt store, in the Clinton Hall building, Nassau street, was burglariously opened and robbed by some villains, and goods to the value of between two and three hundred deliars carried away. Under the circum. stances, this was the most audacious and impndent rob- bery we ever heard of, The rascals must have used great caution, and worked very quieily,beaause they did hot awake a girl who was sleeping in the store at the time, and because, likewise, some nightmen were at work next door during ‘the time they were rifling the store This is the second time that this store has been burgla- riourly opened within a short time; and, in order to pre- vent a recurrence of such things, we think the police of the second ward should give more attention to Nassau street than they do. We understand that Mr. Beman will esteem it a great favor if some of our burglariousl: inclined gentlemen will make third attempt to open hi store, Tur Weatnen.—The thermometer stood as high an 78 degrees yesterday in Wall street, at noon.

The stock market was not so buoyant to-day; both transactions and quotations have fallen off since yester- day. At the first board, Pennsylvania 6’s declined per cent, Reading Bonds 34, Farmers’ Loan \, Canton 44, Reading Railroad %, Harlem 1. Illinois went up % per cent, Norwich and Worcester 34, Treasury Notes. Indians, Morris Canal, and Long Island, closed at yes- terday’s prices. * At the second board, Reading Bowds, Norwich and Worcester, Harlenr, and Canton, closed at prices current inthe morning. Long Island fell off 1 por vent, Reading 36, and Farmers’ Loan 34. The market closed heavy, and the tendency of prices was decidedly towards further decline. The State of lowa has issued proposals for a loan of $55,000, redeemable in ten years, with interest payable semi-annually in the city of New York. The law au- thorizing the said loan, pledges the entire revenue of the State for the payment of the interest and the redemp- tion of the principal; and as the constitution of the State prohibits the creation of any State debt, either by loans or otherwise, to exceed $100,000, there can be no doubt as to the security of the investment.

Wheeler (W.) —— Sixty-Fourth Annual Convention of the Pro- testant Episcopal Church, in the Diocese of Burlington, on New Jersey, Assembled in St. Mary's Chureh, ‘Wednesday morning. the 26th inst. The clergy. habit- ed in their surplices, moved from the bishop’s residence, Riverside, at 10 o'clock, preceded by the Right Rev'd George W. Doane, bishop, with the venerable friend of the late Bishop Hobart, Rev. John C. Rudd, of Utica, New York, followed by the family and pupils of St. Ma- ry'a Hall and the offers and students of Burlin ‘ollege, to the church. Morning prayer was read by the Rev, Mr. Watson, of Newark, the epistle by Rev. Dr. Rudd, the gospel and ante-communion service by the bishop. The bishop preached an eloquent sermon from Galatians, 6th chapter, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10th vorses, which, owing to the lateness of the hour, we are unable to give even a sketch of. The holy communion was then administered by the bishop, and Dr. Rudd assisting; previous notice having been given by the bishop that recipients would remain kneeling after the distribution, till the consecrated ¢ ments were conferred. ‘rhe annual address, by the bishop, was in course of delivery when our correspondent closed his letter. ‘The delegates mostly presented their credentials, when the convention adjourned to 434 P.

The second annual report of the Massachusetts North- ern Railroad Company gives a very favorable view of the affairs of the concern. The report states— “ That the finances of the company have been prospe- rous, the assessments promptly paid, and the stock has, during all the pressures of the money market, maintain- ¢d its position at or about par; while the returns of the road, as fur ax opened. have been all that could be ex- pected. ‘The two freshets which have taken place this apring (in February and April) have not caused as much datnage as it wax ferred they would while the road was yet in an unfinished state; the banks have been tho- Toughly exposed to the action of the water, soxked and settled, and their strength well tried; yet the injury caused by the freshets ouly delayed the Fanning of the cars, in one instance four. and the other seven days, and will not cost more than twenty-fve hundred dollars Eighteen miles of the road was opened for public use during the last year. and for four months, frum Decem- ber to May, the gross receipts were $13,702 97, and the expenses of running, $7,689 85, leaving a net balance of profits of $8,107 Jo the item of expouses is put down a large sum paid for ingen for taking passengers over portious of the real where the cars could not run. and the interruption of freight traina by the damage caused by tho freshets. diminished the receipts, so that in ordi- nary cireamsatances the net receipts would have been equul to more than seven per cent. on a cost of $20,000 a mile on that portion of the rond. The remaining portion of the road, from Franklin to thy Connecticut river, is in rapid prowress, and it will be opened to Edson’s, in Andover, in July next ; to Graf ton in August, and to Canaan in October; and the whole to and across the Connecticut river as early as Novem- ber next.
