‘What bas become of the surveying parties for the great Pacific Railroad? It seems that Major Stevens’ is the ‘only one that is moving, and that unfortunately is laid eut for a section of the country through which there is Little chance of opening the read. At all events, the sur- vey cannot be commenced upon that extreme sorthera route until about a month after the more southern par- ties should be in the field. Where are those parties? ‘Who are to lead them? When are they to be at work? ‘When will Congress be in possession of the information required, if they are not put in motion at once? Cer- tainly not in season for the next session of Congress. The emigrants are now getting upon the road, to spend the @ummer and autumn in journeying to the Pacific. The aurveying parties must have more time for their pro- tracted roe and not an hour is to be lost. Where is Col. Abert with his officers? It seems that a mistake has beea made in not confiding this business to the more energetic hands of engineers from civil It is of im- portance that two parties should be started from the Pacific te examine the passes about tho head of the Sacramento and San Josquin valleys, through the Sierra Nevada, That is even of more importance than the Rocky Mountain passes, for we have less reliable information about them, apd, delayed as the expeditions are likely to be from this side, there is no possibility of their reaching ‘that chain of mountains until another season. In the meantime an entire year is lost to the work. Pa should be ordered into the field at once, from the Pacific aide, to examine the Sierra Nevada. There is yet time to do it, and the work should not be retarded for the want of @ little energy in fitting them out. Col.

SUSQUEILANNA RAILROAD. We learn from the Lewisburg (Pa.) Democrat that the directors of the Susquehanna Railroad, (which is to con- nect with the roads from Baltimore to Harrisburg,) have adopted a resolution to let the road between Sunbury and Lewisburg, at the latter place, on the 27th instant. A meeting of the directors will also be held at Lewisburg ‘upon that day, for the jporpee ‘of appointing a subse- gut day for putting the road under contract between wisburg and Williamsport, through Muncy. The com- pany have determined to push the road. through vigor- ously—that it shall be built as soon as energy, backed Dy capital, can accomplish it. PHILADELPHIA AND SUNBURY ROAD. We learn that the workmen have commenced iaying down the rails on the Philadelphia and Sunbury fsil- road, and that the work is progressing rapidly. The ex- cavation along the hills just below Sunbury, on the line of the Susquehanna read, has been commenced. The contractors are much in want of laborers. DIREOT ROAD FROM PHILADELPHIA TO BALTIMORE. We learn that the surveyors of the contemplated new railroad between Baltimore and Philadelphia have com- pleted the survey of one of the routes) which is repre- sented as highly satisfactory, and it is estimated will cost between two and three millions. They will immedi- ately commence on a more nerthern line, in order to ob- tain the shortest and most practicable route.

MILWAUKEE RAILWAY TO FORT WINNEBAGO. It ia now a fixed fact, that the Milwaukee, Watertown and Portage City Railroad is to be constructed and urged ‘by the present efficient board of directors, to a speedy this extraordinary completion. A wealthy contractor from ‘the East has | been in Milwaukee, and put in a bid for the whole line to Fort Winnebago, at avery reasonable rate. The directors are now making arrangements to let the work: and te show that they aze in earnest about it, three of the direc tors have each made subscriptions to the amount of ‘fif- teen thousand dollars. This proves that they have great @nfidence in the enterprise. PITTSBURG AND) CLEVELAND RAILROAD. ‘Tae Pittsburg papers say that proposals will be received at the office of the Pittsburg and Cleveland Company, in Weleville, from the first to the tenthof May, for the grsdvation and masonry of thirty-nine miles of theWheel- ang extension of their road, from the mouth of Yellow creek, below Wellsville, to the tows of Bridgeport, Bel- mont county, Chio, cpposite Wheeling. The estimated cost of the road, between the points named. is $750,000, ‘There will be no grade over fifteen feet, and no curvature of a lesa radius thaa 2,805 feet. No provision has yet been made to complete the gap in the River Railroai, twent:-two miles in length. between Beaver and Wells: ville; but it is stated that the county of Beaver is ready to subscribe $100,000 towards it the moment Allegheay will take the lead in the matter, from which $200,000 is CATAWISSA RAILROAD. ‘The engincers are still engeged in surveying the pro- pored routes for this road. from Ca’awissa to the West Branch, with a care indicating that the company are avxious to be fully and correctiy informed in relation to the best route for the general interest of the company, before they decide upon a permanent location of the road The Muncy Luminary reports that John K. Grotz, -of Bloomsburg, has obtained a general relvase of the right of way along’ the proposed line by Bloomsburg and Muncy, to Williamsport. The proposed routes from Catawirsa, vis Danville, to Lewisburg or Milton, are still under examiration by the engineers. The Danville Jntel Uigencer mentions a ramor that the Susquehanna Compa- ny will build their road from Bridgeport to Milton; that Erie Company will build their road from Milton to Erie; and that the Catawissa Company will sonnect at Lewisburg or Milton. If this arrangement has been ‘agreed upon, all the roads may soon be mada and in opo ration, as each company can then soon procure ample | means to build their respective lines of roads MEMPHIS AND LITFLE ROCK RAILROAD. The Memphi+ Enquirer of the 234 ult. says :—We un- derstand that the work of subscription to this great en- terprise—the entering wedge, as it is, towards securing the main truvk of the Pacific Railway—is progressing finely throughout the city.

Curlous Case of Amalgamation. [From the Fhiladelphia Bulletin, April 18.] A case of more than ordinary interest _was commenced in the Court of Common Plea, before Judge Tnompeon, this morning. igned issue to test the validity of the will of the late William Johnson, a negro, who was reputed te have left a white wife and two small :aulatto children, in life, besides a black married a few days | before bis death. The white wife was in Court, with her two children. They were quite respectable in appearance, better clad than ordinary people, and might reasonably pasa for persons in the middle walks of life. Another singularity attending the case is, that one of the female | witnesses for the white wife isa white woman of great | beauty and youth, who has a mulatto husband aud chil- dren.” She attracted cousidorable attention. We felt re- lieved when we ascertained that both these females were of | foreign birth—one a Scotch, and the latter an English | woman. ‘The facts of the case appear to be as follows :—The de- cedent, Wm. Johnson, in early life, was a slave in Vir- guia. from which State he fled to Pennsylvania, He soon | came acquainted with a colored woman, named Mrs. Harvey, who interested herself in his behalf, and pre- yailed upon the present Mayor Gilpin to purchase him rom his Virginia master for the purpose of manumis- | sion. This was accordingly effected. Johnson followed | the cea for several years, but being a man of strong mind ard buriness qualifications, soon discovered that there were better ways open to persons of an energetic turn of mind to make a living than the drudgery and toil on | shipboard. Instead of spending his earnings while on shore in ri- otous living, as in his day was too much the case with seafaring men, he safely hoarded them up, until he had sufficient to open a sailors’ boarding house in the south- eastern part of the city. His new business prospered un- der his careful supervision, and in a few years the fruits of his industry and attention were manifested in his ac- cumulation of real estate. About twenty years ago probably in gratitude for the sympathy Mrs. Harvey had felt for him while a fugitive from labor—he married her. She wax a widow, with se- | veral children, among them a daughter, since known aa Mrs. Douce, and now claiming to be his wife, and to whom and her four children by Mr. Douce, he bequeathed the | bulk of his property. His first wife, (Mra. Harvey,) died in 1847, without is- sue by him. In the same year, a young woman named Catharine Flynn (the alleged white wife,) arrived in this city from Scotland. The decedent beeame acqu i her in three weeks afterwards, and, as she the American Preiudices against color, it is alleged he married ber. It incertain they livod together ns man and wife, in one of his houses in Gaskill street. He spoke of her as his wife, and defended her, as such, against his colored friends, whose sntipathies ogainst the intrusion ofa white woman into their circle, as the wife of a rich ecjored man, were of the atrongext character. Fiom this alleged marriage +prang three children, two of whom are now living. They continued to live together up to the cay he was scized with his last sickness, which appears to have been on the 23d day of November 1852. Finding he was likely to be taken to his bad, he expressed 8 desire to go to his place of business in Lombard, above Front atreet, where he could in part superintend business, | even while sick. He went to that house and was soon af- ter taken to his bed apd roam, fen whieh 1 appears, ie was bever again able to depart. Mrs. Douce was then living in the Lombard street house, | 814 with her children, in the capacity of housekeeper. Her | husband was not living with her aj the same time, and | was pee to be dead. On the 4tb of December 1852, the will in dispute was | made, and on the 8th a codicil was attached, making provision for a child not yet born of the body of the | white wife. On the 14th of December Johnson died. A few deys prior tohis death, he martied Sirs. Nancy Douee, his housekeeper, at the Lombard street house, and his | step-daughter by bis first wite. She had four children living with her, who are named in the will by his own name, and sre called his children. To them, after the death of their mother, who has a life estate, the larger pertion of his estate descends, It is alleged that the will was procured by improper means, while the decedent was under the control of | Mrs. Douce and Perry Tilghman, one of the executors, Perry Tilghman, it ap; dictated the will, which was afterwards taken to the room of the sick man, and con. firmed by him in the presence of two witnesses, one of them being the gentleman who drafted the will, who testified that he knew decedent's intentions as to his pro. perty beforehand. The will and codicil both are signed with a cross, the decedent not being able to write. ‘The will calls the white wife Catharine Fassit: and whi'e it acknowledges ber three children, calis them by her name. He gives to each $50 per annum during their minority, and bestows the property in Gaskill street, and that at the northeast corner of Christian and Fourth streets, to thes three children, share and share alike, when they shall have attained the age of 21 years re- spectively The case will oceupy several days. Much feeling is ex- hibited between the two races, giving a practical illus- tration of the impossibility of blending the Caucasian with the African race Their jealousies of each other and mutual. Destructive Fire 1x Cincrnwati.—Yesterday morning, about three o’cleck, a fire broke out in the cabinet wareroom establishment of E. B. Blunt, on Fifth street, between Main and Walnut streets.

The Spirit Rappers, TO THE EDITOR OF THR NEW YORK HERALD, Sr In animadversions of yesterday, on the fed rap] delusions, you Spear to overlook a very simple, but onclusive argument. A gentleman reasoned bones,” theretore, show’ how ‘aa. ape rap with ie ;” fore, Ww can 8 A} ri bavokles, RRO ET Qh our social aff concern, are altogether unfounded. tbe colony, it is jrue, has been of an unp { vast treasuries of Mount Alexand our history, has been Sttebded with much inconvenience to the entire commu- nity, and sconces t persons newly arrived. Ld ‘ances of social life have not kept pace with the rapidly ner ing popmiasion. Nor was it ible. colony, and in circumstances cr, there must of necessity be s serious deticiency of Oa ete eee few exceptions, is, that rul vi ut few exceptions, is, that male immigrants proceed to the diggings at once. This outlet has averted the shock that would be occasioned by a disproportionate pressure upon the ordinary employ- menty, and kept the labor market comparatively bare. The vast majority of those at the fields have scttled ‘This immense irflux, while it hagas impulse to unprecedented in | there for the present, no appreciable proportion of them poe nee upon ordinary Heree, it is si tent, and tl general, The deficiency in the labor market is only partially filed up by the fow immigrants who do not go to the diggings, and the still fewer who forsake them. The want of social conveniences most hare entailed much sullering upop individuals ; but, looking at all the circumstances of the case, there is c.use for thsnkfulness that the evils have not been infinitely more serious and general. There has been, and there still is, great personal discomfort ; but there might have been famine and pestilence. The principal inconveuience felt by new comers is the want of house accommodation The abundance of money, and the deficiency in effective labor, have raised the ex- of building far ab. ve the point at which it would oe table investment for capital. The number of buildings erected in the city, within the year, bears no proportion to the increase in the population. But al- Feady do we discover symptoms of re-ation in this re- spect; and we think that the ensuing year will witness a revival in the building trade, and a great extension and improvement of the city. Meantime, the want is par- tially supplied by tents and small wooden buildings in the outskirts. On the southern bank of the Yarra Yarra there is a population of four or five thousand liv. ing in tents; and all arn dS, Peas of the city wooden cottages are daily 3} up. as velamn toe atteeting tonporeey anelier to biniy: arrived immigrants has been carried forward with spirit. The private subscriptions amount to nearly £4,000. to which the government is to add £8,000, Muoh privat! {Ty averted by this benevolent plan, but It is not possible for any plen, however comprehensive, to meet all the exigencies of’ the case. The Wesleyan Methodists, with praiseworthy zeal, have erected a building for the témpo- ‘accommodation of immigrants of their own and otter denominations, in want of shelter. Despite all such efforts, however, there must bea great amount of privation, a3 we have said; but it will rarely sink to ac tual destitution, ond at worst is only temporary. The im- migrant, once landed, if he has any ‘elf helpfulness at all, speedily finds means to ward of absolute want, and, sooner or later, gains a footing, from which it is his own fault if he does not stride rapidly forward into compe- tence ani comfort. The overcrowding of the city, and the neglect of sani- tary regulations, are two evils’ most unavoidable in our present circumstances. That the consequences of them have not been signally disastrous, is mainly owing to the healthiness of the climate. As itis, much sickness has resulted; but we have at least escaped any epidemic more serious than the influenza, and that very security has made people more tolerant of the evils. We hope, how: ever, for a speedy partial alleviation of them, as labor be- comes available and the requisite materials abundant. The value of city property is still extravagantly high. Building allotments fetch enormous prices, and rents are exorbitant, At present the culminating point appears to have been reached in this particular. Already a slight decline is perceptible, and speculators feel that the ten- dency is downward. The value of property in the busi- ness parts of the city will, we think, continue at a rate certainly not below the present one; in other parts, the value will scon assume the just proportion which it usu- ally bears to other descriptions of property. The fluctu- ation in the value of city property, will not be again aifee‘ed ro strongly as it hus been by the gold elds, what- ever may be their yield; for the increasing population not only tends to develope the resources of the country, but to give stability to commercial and industrial pur: suits, and to preserve their correct balance. If the immigrant can manage to bear up against the exorbitant rents, over-crowding, and general social dis- comfort, that meet him upon his landing, he will aut find very much else to complain about. The absolute neces saries of life are not very dear. The fears which we ex essed some montis since respec ing a searcity of flour, ve subsided for the present, in consequence of importa: tions from various quarters, and the prospects of tolera- ble harvests in this and the neighboring colonies. From these causes the price of flour recently fell from £45 to £0 per ton, andit has further declined to £23—its price at the present moment, Beef and mutton, tea and sugar —the staple of colonial coniumption—ere reasonabiy Cheap and abundant. Vegetables, fruit, eggs, butter, etc., must be classed amongst luxuries ; they are scarce and dear. Men find it far more money-making to dig for gold than to cultivate market gardens ; and the digger is hissimple fare of “mutton, tea, and damper, En Tho-e anticipations of a general and sudden shock in ales, which give our Sydney friends so much ‘The prosperity of nted character, but it bas been perfectly natural and healthy. ‘There has been a superabundance of wealth ; but there has not been any foolish speculation or commercial gambling. ‘Tha wealth af the anlany ie ropicremted, uot by heaps | of worthless paper money, but by a hundred tons of solid ‘Whence, then, can the crash come? The only Teally serious event that eould happen — setting aside dis- pensations of Providence—is the instantanoous exhaus- tion of the gold fields. In that case there would be much aiftculty in dispersing the multitude of diggers over the colonies to foliow other employments. But even then there would be room enough in Australia, aud employ- ment enough, for all the diggers in Victoria, were their Lumber ten times as great as it is. It is folly to specu- late upon the possibility of an instantaneous cessation of gold digging. There may be less gold produced ; the may never again yield as much as they have elready given out ; but the de- e in the yield will be gradual, and the unsuccessful Il by degrees betake themselves. to other indus- t ns, The experience of California shows us that for years to come the diggings will afford employ- ment to gold seekers ; and our own experience up to the present time confirms the opinion that a large ‘amount of gold will be annually gathered in Victoria for a long pe- rid to come, So that the progressive and permanent prosperity of this splendid colony is placed upon the surest basis.

Wruck or THE Queen Vicrorta.—The plate in the Queen Victoria's cabin has been aaved bya diver ; but the man protests that nothing in the world would in- duce him to go down # second time, as the scene in the eabin was the most horrible he had ever witnessed. He thought he hadentered a wax work exhibition, the corpses never having moved from their positions since the vessel went down.

Talmadge ang Ogden Hoffman ap- peared as counsel for Kennedy and Smith, the policemen of the Fifth ward, charged with burglary, and moved that they be placed on trial. r. A. O, Hall, Assistant District Attorney, opposed the motion. Mr. Blunt was anxious to conduct the prosecu- tion himself, and his engagement at present in the Court | of Oyer and Terminer precluded him from doing so.

Can we not h law restricting the number of pas- sengera which the city railroad cars may carry, to the number that can bo comfortably carried sitting?” It is po- sitively disgraceful to see a company so utterly regardless of anything but their_own pockets, as are the Sixth and Kighth Avenue and Harlem eompanies. No car should be allowed to carry more than caa be accommodated on teats, and the number of passengers that eeeh car can seat, should be posted up conspicuously in the inside of the ‘car, that all may sce and read; neither should any person besides the driver and conductor be allowed to stand on the platforms. Any violation of these regula- tions suould be punished by a fine. The omnibuses are restricted—why should the same law not be spplied to «ars?
