Arxit 22.—The special committee to whom was re ferred the subject of investigating the condition and de- vising @ plan for the relief of the suffering New York Volunteers who fought in Mexico, sent in their report this evening. The committee had several of the sur- ming pees before them, and report that they have art ined that of the first regiment of 1,000 men, who left New York for Mexico, about 270 yet sur- vive, of which number sixty are im the city of New York ; there are between twenty and thirty whorequire im- mediate aid; some of these are unable to work, the climate of Mexico having affected their systems, depriving them of all energy, and they are in this state unfit for the roper discharge of many of the employments of life. ‘et many of them could work, and would be glad of the opportunity were it Eee, plications have made to the Almshouse Com- missioners to have some of them appointed wardens on Randall's Island, but invariably they were unsuccessful. Of the twenty or thirty who have been more or leas in- jured or deseased in Mexico, there are nime sick, three who have either lost a leg or an arm, one that is blind, and seven who have families, all indigent, and some des- titute in the extreme. ‘Thus is presented in a few words an ample field for the operations of the philanthropist, and a binding obligation on the part of the authorities of the city for immediate action a relation to those who have victoriously re- turned from a foreign country, and yet are allowed by their countrymen to lay down and die without a pitying hand to succor them in their distress or relieve them while suffering from their honorable wounds. Lieut. Col. Burnbam, ‘Treasurer of the Association jformed by the Volunteers themselves, allows $2 per week of the small amount in his possession, derived from the benefit given by Mr. Heller, for the sustenance of the sick. No less than forty of the returned Volunteers died be- fore the year of 1850, and twenty-seven from that date to this, which latter number have all been buried by Lieut. Senior, at his own expense, and without any promise of future remuneration—exhibiting one of those spirits of patriotic liberality highly commendable and worthy of notice. The Committee, therefore, recommended a resolu- tion authorizing the Comptroller to draw his warrant for dollars, in favor of Lieut. Col. Burnham, for the relief of the New York Volunteers, and on motion of the Assistant Alderman of the Twelfth ward, seconded by As- sistant Alderman Bing, the blank was filled up for $1,000 and the report and resolution adopted. a Ratlroad Intelligence. RAILROAD FROM NEW YORK TO MONTREAL. The annual report of the Champlain and St. Lawrence Company for the present year has recently been publish- ed, by which it appears that its affairs are ins very flourishing condition. The line at present extends from a point immediately opposite Montreal to Rouse’s Point, adistance of forty three miles, where it connects with the Ogdensburg Railroad, and this with the Hudson Ri- yer, Harlem, and New Haven—all of which terminate at New York. Awharf has been constructed at the northern termi- nus on the St. Lawrence, opposite Montreal, which ex- tends about three thousand one hundred feet from the main shore, reducing the distance from the wharf to the city to a little over a mile, which the present steamboats cross in from six to eight minutes, and by which the cent and descent of the La Prairie rapids are altogether avoided. It is in contemplation to erect a bridge across the St. Lawrence at Montreal, which it is estimated will cost six millons of dollars. The business on the road is steadily increasing. The receipts of last year were $140,000, being $35,000 more than in 1861, and,Gfty-nine per cent above the receipts of 1850. After deducting the current expenses, which, from causes that are stated, were last year greater than is usual, a balance of $61,156 remains as the profit on the business of the year—equal to about twelve anda half per cent on the paid up eapital Targe additions have of late been made to the running urniture of the road, and some of the locomotives lately purchased are calculated for a high rate of speed—sixty miles an hour baving been easily attained by then—so that, when neceses ‘the distance from South Montreal to Rouse’s Point may be traversed with safety io three- quarters of an hour, the road being peculiarly straight el. ‘The ees of connecting this road, en the west ade of Lake Champlain, with those from Whitehall to New York, has egain been Srought permanently before the public. Meetings have been held by parties interested at Platts- burg, and consequently there isa prospect of the con- struction of a road from Rouse’s Pint to Whitehall, to which undertaking the ¢o operation of the company hay been invited. The subscribersto the Rouse’s Puint and Plattsborg road, whose surveys and plans are ready, ai epared to carry them out, whenever the action of the outhern interesta shall warrant their doing so. By means of the road from Montreal to Rouse’s Point, and its connection with the Central and other railroads, pasrengers can reach New York from the former city in one day, Care should be observed, however, to avoid taking a steamboat at Burlington, by which much delay and aunoyance is often experienced by travellers on tnis route. That may be avoided by being careful to secure through tickets on the continuous lino, with which the Montreal and Rouse’s Point Railroad is connected. Although the trains havo run about 110,009 miles, and have carried more t! 83,000 passengers, within the past year, not a single accident has occarred attended with personal injury or loss of life to any of them, which is | particularly worthy of remark, as it shows the care and attention to their duties by the officers of, the company, and, as is observed in the report, ia a subject of congrat. ulation and thankfulness. NOVA SCOTIA RAILROAD. The government of Nova Scotia, in consequence of the strenuous opposition ofthe tory party in that proviaee, and the division of sentiment among its supporters on the subject of railroads, have determined to abazdon the railroad bills, Mr. Howe having stated that under those circumstances he did not deem it advisable to proceed further with them; and that the only alternative which presented itself was to adopt the proposition of their op ponents, and to authorize the formation of joint stock Companies. As he considered the opposition inadequ toconduct the business of the province, he did not, with his collegues, deem it expedient to resign, bat would, uader the altered circumstazees in which he was placed, yield the contemplated measure his entire sup- rt. He would not, however, be instrumental in constructing acompany to be based’ upon fictitious capital having nothing to represent {t; for roads to be built at $20,000 per mile, for imstence, he could not consent to create a stock repre: aon 3 $30,000 or more; and with refereno» tofares, he should insist that they did not exceed the American rates, where roads on an average had cost #40 000 per mile. On the contrary, ho was determined that English roads, which bad cost in same cases $900,000 per mile, should be the model to be adopted in legislating upon the subject. Mr. Johnson, who led the opposition throughout, ex- pressed his determination to meet the government in th same spirit; but ifthe undertaking ia to depend uoo the public rpirit and enterprise of provinclal capitalists its doom is sealed. As tothe Canadian and New Bruns- wick lines, although they may be productive of local ad- vantage, yet unless they are connected with a main trunk terminating at Halifax, the grest object to be effected by their construct'on will be defeated. In the meantime, a committeo has been appointed to prepare bills, taking the Canada acts for their guidance, which consists of the Attorney General, Messrs. Howe, Henry, and Wier, members of the government or its supporters, and Messrs. Johnson, Killam and Hall—the opposition thus forming s minority of the committee. Mr. Howe's determination not to relinquish power on question involving no political principle, is perfeetly jus: tiflable; and if, after all the discussion which has taken place on the subject of railroads, the — of } Scotia had not sufficient intelligence and public return members at the recent election who were pre- pared to earry out an undertaking of such vital impor tance to the province, he has acted wisely in yielding be- fore the adverse influence against which he had to coa- tend, soe the measure of which he has been the able and indefatigable advocate may ultimately be de. feated. Since the above was written, we learn that the com. mittee to whom the subject’ was referred have agreed to ® bill preseribing that any company that may be formed shall posvovs e capital of seven millions of dol. lara, for the completion of three hundred and twenty miles of railroad, and must be organized in four months, otherwise the governmens bills are togo into operation. ‘The stock is to be divided into seventy-five thousand thares, of one handred dollars exch; and, as soon as six hundred thousand dollara worth of stock shall have been subsoribed for, and twenty-six thousand dollars paid ia, thecompapy may be organi: The province is to loan twelve thousand dollars per mile for the trunk line, and eight thousand for the branehos, for which the company is to give bonds, the interest to be paid half- re the company failing to do which, the amount is to be dedueted from the next instalmest. When the company shall have expended four bundred theusand dollars. the provinee is to ad. vance one hundred and sixty thousand in debentures ard to have the first mortgage on she road, &c., for its advances, to be redeemabie in twenty years: it is also to — half the directors and the eompany the orher half; and if the government bonds are not used, or are returned, the former directors are to retire.

The 412 miles in operation have cost over twelve millions of dollars, and, when fully eom- pleted, will carry the aggrogate of expendituren as high as $90,000 per mile. ‘Ten millions of this expenditure | have been made within the last five years—or a sum equal | to two millions per annum has, in that time, been applied to the building of railroads in Maine.

Milla and Clarke, of Roc! are the suc- cesful competitors, their tender being for the complete fintshing of the road. £125,000. The line is twenty-seven miles and a halfin length. The work commences imme- diately. The same parties, we sre informed, have also | ‘ contract om the Toronto and Guelph Railroad, near Brantford, Canada West, amounting to $300,000. , one on the Marietta and Cincinnati road, at the former | place, of nearly the same magnitude. We congratulate our peighbors acrosi lake in securing such energetic and driving men for the construction of their road, and we have no hesitation in saying, from our knowledge of the parties, that the road willbe completed promptly, according to the stipulation of the arrangement.

The time of the departure from Philadelphia of the passenger trains over the Pennsylvania railroad has been changed. The trains will start in futureat 8 A. M. and half-past 10 P. M. PROPOSED BAILROAD. Considerable interest is manifested ina railroad pro- pored lately, to run from Cincinnati to Pertsmouth, pass- ing through’ New Richmond, Felicity. Georgetowm, Rus- selville, Decatur. and West Union. Meetings have beea held at'moat of the points interested, designed to secure early action and co-operation. The route suggested tra- verses a very fine country, which only requires ready transportation te markets, to become very productive and wealthy. There is plenty of ability in that com.ounity to recure an early construction of the road; and all that is necessary to necure success, is for the people to take hold in earnest, and subscribe liberally. = i i 5 & i & £ i : { F A : E 2 2 MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The Legislature of Maing has passed « bill to allow the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad Company to lease r road.

The new shosl, which is now in process of formation by marine voleanic agencies, bears southwest from St. Clement’s Island about thirty five miles, and is within eight miles of the coral reef indicated by United States Coast Survey. but not down on the o-dinary charts. As nearly as ascertained i; is about half a mile in extent, lyirg direstly in the track of the Panama steamors, and was seen by Captain Cropper, of the Cortes, and Mr. Hesly, his first officer, as well as by the commander of the Pacific. Captain Cropper witnessed the following phepomenon :— The sea around the shoal was as smooth as a floor, when suddenly a heavy column of water was projected into the air some twenty foet, appearing to be thrown up from a coromon centre, and, alshough white with foam, having no appearance such a8 ordinary breakers present. In an instant it sub. ided and the water became as smooth as it was before. This was repeated several times, and leaves no reom to doubt of the existence of a submarine volcano there. According to the observation made on board the steam- er Pacific, the Jatitude of this new shoal is 32 30 N, lon- itude 119 08 W. ” Whalemen.
