European Intelligence. ‘The Cembria’s news is now over due. It may be expected at any moment. The Wires to St. Jobn are in perfect order. Memphis and St. Louls—The California Railroad Conventions of October 33a and 25tn, It appeare that two conventions are to be held in the valley of the Mississippi, in October, forthe purpose of doing what can be done to promote the speedy opening of a railroad route between the At lantic and Pucific. A large attendance of dele- gates from the various parts of the Union will pro- bably be present at both. At Memphis will be Tepresented more especially the couatry interested jm the route proposed by the middle aud southern portion of the Union; and at St. Louis, the route advocated for the North; or rather, all portions of the country are likely to be represented by dele- gates in each convention; but St. Louis embraces the nerthern interest, and Memphis the residue of the Union. it is certainly to be desired that no conflict shall be engendered, which will in any manner delay or Jeopard the speedy compleuen of the grand wader- taking designed, and, indeed, necessary, as the re- eent information trom California shows, to unite the Atlantic and Pacific, and muke one people of ail the nhabitants of the whole continent. Some diffe- ence of opinion may, ot course, be expected. Adverse local interests are involved. But care enght to be, and probubly will be, exercised to as- eertain the route for this great thoroughfare pro- per, with reference to the common interest of the | whole country, and to prevent personal influences and local cu! from entering too largely into the matter. Mr. Senator Benton has thrown his great name and powers into it in behalf ef the St. Louis project. He has troops of friends, and the experience of a veteran politician in the tactics useful to accomplish any public purpose. It we not at all unlikely that his recent movements in Miseouri have quite as much reference to the loca- tuon of this road as to his Presidential aspirations, and more certainly than to his new born abhorrence | of Afncan slavery. Be this, however, as it may, whatever he puts his hand upon, it is certain to weign beavily on the couotry, for weal or wo. St. Louis, and its population, commerce, re- seurces, present and prospective condition, are very fumiliarly known at the North, Not so much je known of Memphis. A few words and a little time may be well given to the latter, and some- thing also to ite claims to be the crossing place upon the Mississippi river of the iron band which im to hold together the American borders of the ‘Weert end of the East. The present population of Memphis is about 12,000. It stands on the east bank of the Missis- sippi river, about 850 miles from its mouth, and about 750 miles above New Orleans, and is in the southwest corner of Tennessee, about 15 miles north of the beundary line dividing the States of Micsiesippi and Tennessee. The Mississippi river ww navigable as high as Memphis, at ull seasons of the year, and in every stage of water, for the largest steemers that float upon the Western wa- ters. Itus likewise below the point at which ice ever cloves the river. Not so St. Louis. In the customary low waters of the river in the summer and full months, the larger steam croft cannot as- cend to or descend from St. Lous, and not unfre- quenily, in the winter months, the river is closed with ice, at and below St. Lows, and, indeed, be- low the mouth of the Obro river. The grewth of Memphis has been searcely sur- ies of the West, which so into paeeed by any of the ly spring from the untroddea for * bury and thritty emporioms of commerce. Its pitsrvt condition is forthe moet part, to the ex- tertof three-fourths, the progress of ten years.

Most of this cotton ia hauled to and ship- ped fom Memphis, Another large portion finds its way to New Orleans down the small rivers which flow into the Missiesippi, without passing | Memphis, but the commerce of which is ly at that place. reasonably expect the route of the rewd to be located otherwise than with refer- vat of the whole coun- try. The conditions implied in this, are, that the route thell be efficiently central to the entire through trenrectd n No person can ence to the common inte Unien, shall pursue the shortest distaner, the jeft levels, the climate which will be available at all seaons of the year. In all these particulars, the advocates of the Memphis route claim the ad- vantege 1—The Memphis Route is more central 2.—1t passes through a temperate climate, with- out obetrvetion from the iee and snows of winter, Benton's route proposes to crores the Rocky moan- teins at the Three Parke, an elevation of about 8,000 feet above the ocean level, and of course, fora large part of the year, practically impaseable to Tailroad carriages, It ws an elevation largely above the hewhtof any mountain on the continent, enstof the Mivsierippi river.

Tn that attempt he got above the everlasting snows, mto the region where the eternal terspests ceaselessly nowl, and no living | thing can remain, 3—Iv point of distance, the Memphis route has the advantage of several hundred miles, if the direct line be followed, and still more if the practicable track of a read be considered. The Rocky moun- | ains and the Sierra Nevada will have to be turned, not overcome. They must be turned by their southern extremities, ‘Chis line will carry the track sull more largely south of St. Louis, and of any line it can propose. 4 —The reports of those who have gone over the Meiyhis route, and practically know the ground, of whom there are several in the Western country, concur in statiog thata plein and easy wagon tract exists from the Mississippi river up the Canadian fork of the Aikansas, through a country of nusare passed fertility, and thence generally one or two hundred miles south of Santa Fe, to the head | | waters of the Gila, and from there dowa and on- | ward to San Francisco, entirely turning the high- lands of the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra | Nevada. . Jut the present occasion does not allow any ex. | steam Square.—His Laser | tended and minute developements of the facts which + aed | test the comparative advantages of the two routes. The Whitney route need scarcely to be noticed. It is impracticable, without penetrating to the | polar regions, aud has scarcely any advocates ia | the country. | The whole Union ought to be represented ia the ! Memphis Convention. ‘The people at large will bave to furnish the means of building the road, and are entitled to chare in its benefits; and hence, rightfully und properly, ought to share in the coun- cile which propose to devise the mode and define | the route. It is the desire of those having ¢ arge | | ot the preliminary arrangements of the Memphis | Convention, which meets on the 23d of October, that the whole country shall be abundantly repre- sented by delegates. They do not propose their | route for asy particular portion of the Union— not for the South, nor for the North, nor for the Cast, or the West; but for every foot of the conti- nent over which the American flag casts ite protecting shadow. It is the route not having in contemplation any possible dismemberment of the Umon, but aiming +o to bind all its parts into one indissoluble whole, that it may go on in its high career of prosperity, growing through all time, an exemplar to the entire earth of harmony, peace, strength, wealth, intelligence, greatness, and hap- piness. Ample preparations will be made for the hospi- table entertainment of all who mav attend the con- vention. They will know no measure of weleome short of the hearty good wall which the people of that city have, that so this read may be built, as will bind all our borders into one people, having, jor all time to come, one common, harmonious, and glorious destiny. .

Failing in converting the locofecos to the true whig church, it appears that Father Frelinghuysen has since pretty much con- | fined his attention to the “ outside barbarians,” | | extending his researches even tothe Celestial Em- | | pire. On the evening of the 13th, addressing the | Board, the reverend gentleman thus discourses:— | “Again, it is enid God's time has not yet come ! work of the world’s conversion is God's, and wie own good time be will perfest it Our time ts to-day.

How many millons have been collected for the heathen,and how many | souls have been saved? The tree is known by its | fruit. What are the fruits? .

The Eag- lich missions for India have expended, in the last | twenty years, for the conversion of the Hindoos, a million of pounds sterling. And what is the re- sult? By deaths and casualties, by the climate or by the heathen, the disciples have perished ; and | it would seem that the sum total of their labors, | from a review published some years ago, was | nineteen converts, thirteen of whom had gone beck to peganiem, five were preparing to back out, | and there was but one solitary maa left, who could not Le meured for over a month.

The evidence also shows that a deliberate purpose had been formed, by some of these banditti, to set fire to the theatre, while it was full of people ; and prepara. tions had been made, by getting a collection of shavings for that diabolical purpose. The mind of every good citizen ia startled at these new and hitherto unheard of atrocities.
