THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, ABRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP ASIA. ASPECT OF THE TURKISH QUESTION, weer Preparations for War in Switzerland. Affairs in Bngland and France. STATE OF THE MARKETS, &e., &e., &e. ‘Tbe British royal mail steamship Asia, from Liverpool,at half past ten o’clock on Saturday morning, the 4th inst., arrived at her dock in Jersey City, about midnight. By the Asia we have three days later dates from all parts of Evrope. The Hermann arrived off Southampton on Thursday afternoon, the 2d instant, but her news, less one day, was anticipated by Commodore Vanderbilt's steamship North Star, which arrived at Southampton on Wednesday, June Ist, after a passage of ten days, eight hours and forty minutes, from New York. [This was differently reported by the Pacife] The N. 8. will remain at Southamp- ton tep days or so, and will be free to the inspection of the English public. The Glasgow arrived at Greenock on the 2d inst., in twelve and a half days from New York.

Parliament had been mainly occupied in discussing law reform measures. On the second reading of the New Triale Criminal Cases bill, Mr. J. Butts and other mem- bers depreciated the present state of the law, which de- nies toa party whose honor or life is in jeopatdy an ap- peal which is granted in the most trivial civil casos. remedy this unsatisfactory state of things the bill under Giscussion proposes to give a right of appeal from the finding of the jury in matters of fact us well as upon poinw of law, without the consent of the judge, pro- viding that it does not interfere with the execution of the sentence, a special tribunal of appeal being appointed in cupital cases. The debate offered no noticeable feature, except that Lord Palmerston, who against the proposed meavure, on the ground of the de- lays it would occasion in'the adwinistrution of justice, and moved that the bill be read that ‘day six months, which was acceded to, and the bill was lost. The bill ex. cluding judges from seats in Parliament was also lost on a third reading. A bill regulating combinations of work- men was postponed for a fortnight, to allow time for framing amendments. In the House of Lords, the Earl of Carlisle took ocea- on to explain. with reference to his speech on the Cub: e trade, that he acquitted Gen, Tacon, as well as Valdes apd Concha, of any participation in the slave trace. Tacon’s administration of Cuba, (said Earl Carlisle.) was vigorous and enlightened; he did not sup- press the trade, but suffered the money to be levied, which he afterwards applied for public purposes, and certainly Lot for his own emolument. On this account he would seem to be entitled to be placed on the same level with Gen, Conch: On Friday evening, the 3d inst., a spirited debate took place in the House of Commons, relative to the govern- ment of India, Bueen Victoria held her first drawingroom this season at St. James’s Palace, on the 2d instant. Among the pretentations are duly chronicled : Presented by. the ‘rench Ambaseadress—Miss Wilcox, niece of the Minister of the United States; Mrs. Gilpin, # lady of the United States. By the Minister of the United States—Mr. Van Buren, late President of the United States; Mr. Martin Ven Buren, son of the late President; Mr. Kemble, Go- yernor, and late member of Congress; Major General Cooper, of New York; Hon.

Lawrence, At- tache to the Legation, The above is the official account. The Benk of England has advanced its rate of discount to three and a-half per cent, The rise did not make any material change in the funds. ‘The deliveries of tea under the new duties commenced at London Wednesday morning, 6th inst., at six o'clock, and nearly $200,000 sterling were taken in duties in the course of the day; equal to 2,800,000 pounds of tea. The Duke of Genoa, brother of the King of Sardinia, is in Lendon, from Paris.

Theze were till a great many articles to uapack and arrenge. A requisition is receiving signatures in Dublin, conven- ing ‘on aggregate mecting of the Roman Catholics of Ireland,” to be held on the 15th inst., and at which it is expected that a great demonstration will be made against the proposed legislation respecting nunneries. It is be- lieved that Archbishop Culien and the other Roman Catholic pre'ates are the movers, 4 allthat remains of the old Catholic Association will take part in it. The Corl: Reporter states that 8 company is about to be formed (where is not said), for the purpore of runnin; two lines of steamsbips, one to the West Indies, Central America New Zevland and Australia, aod the other to South America, and that Queenstown has beea selected as the port of departure. France. POSITION OF FRANCE IN THE EAST—THE FRENCH IN- DUSTRIAL EXHIBITION OF 1855—PROSPECTS OF THE CROPS—WAR IN ALGIERS—EGYPT AND THE UNITED’ STATES. There was no home news of interest. There had been severe fluctuations on the Bon:se—a rapid depression, followed by as sudden a recurrence to about average rates, and attll much inflvenced by flying rumors, of which there was no lack On the whole, however, the market kept up as weil as could be expected in the pre- rent critical position of affaira, Respecting the Turkish question, we have not much that is new. Most of the Paris papers. excepting the Journal des Debats, strongly condemn the conduct of Russia. and support Turkey. ‘The Moniteur states that the imperial government had already received assurances of contributions to the great exhibition of French industry, to take place in 1855, from the governments of England, Belgium. Sweden, Bavaria, Saxcny. Baden, Nassau Frankfort and Berne An imperial ¢ecree authorizes the importation of lin seed. for seed. into France, henceforth duty free. In consequence of the intolerant attitude lately as- sumed by the ultramon‘ane party, the protestant clergy of France at their last annual conference, appointed committee to consider what steps are necessary to be taken for the maintenance of religious liberty. Respecting agricnitural propects, we read in the Moni- teur that apprebensicas had been entertained of the state of the crops, but at present all fears were discarded, and the situation of the principal articles of produce was ex- cellent ‘The Akdar, of Algiers, of 22d ult., says:—A telegraphic despatch from the camp of tbe Oued Draouatz states that on the 19th the Governor General attacked the villages of the Diermounas. Onthe rame day Gen. Macmahon ar- rived at the Mrouaha, and received the submission of the neighboring villages.’ The Governor of the province had issued a proclamation dated from headquarters, Sétif, May 17, anpouncing that the campaign against the Ki byle tribes was about to commence, and calling on the soldiers to perform their usual prodigies of valor. Belgium. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE—DEMANDS OF FRANCE FOR FIFTY MILLIONS OF FRANCS. The approaching marriage of the Duke de Brabant, heir to the Belgian throne, with the Austrian Arch: Duchess Marie, tad been officially announced to the Chambers, The warriago will be celebrated next month at Brussels, The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle learns from what he considers a sure source, that M. His de Bu- tenval, the French Minister, has received iastructions from hia government to claim from Belgium a sum of fifty millions of franca, as a reimbursement of the cost of the expedition to Antwerp in the early part of Louis Phillippe’s reign. This claim is made in retaliation for the proposed Austrian alliances.

Switzerland. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS NOT RESUMED—CIRCULAR CALLING ON THE CANTONS TO ARM—STATE OF THE FRONTIER, ETC. _ Diplomatic relations have not been re-established be- tween Austria and Switzerland, notwithstanding the as- sertion to that effect in the London Times other journals. At the same time the probability is that nego tations will be resumed, inasmuch as before Austris attacks Switzerland she must caleulate the probable action of France. A significant incident may be here re- peated. When the Swiss Council of State offered the command of their forces to Gen. Dufour, that vetcran telegraphed to Napoleon, asking whether the should ac- cept or decline the command. A reply was at oace re- turned to accept. It should be remembered that Dufour was one of Louis Hageloreis artillery instructors when the latter waz living in exile in Switzerland, aad very friendly feelings still exist between them. It ia true that the Swiss have put themselves in an attitude of defence, but not to the extent of calling out all the contingent. The following is the circular ad- fepege by the Federal Council to all the confederated [oe — Fairurus axp Beroven Conrepenates:— By a circular of the $th inst., we invited you, as is usual every year, to fll up as speedily as possible the vacancie existing in the personnel and materiel of the contingents ef the federal army, which appear from the returns prosented 0 us. it wi Considering the pro wishing to place the latter i tingenty, we have, moreow the nivetieth article of tI pt the decree which we have the honor to communicate to you, Our military department, which is cbar.ed with the strict execution of this decree, wiil hasten to give to your superior military authorities the directions and all the ulterior ex- Planations desirable.

Col. B. reports the population exposed to the greatest privations, not only on account of the expulsion of the Ticinese, but on account of the blockade, which is maintained with in creasing severity. Public opinion in the districts was in favor of a campromise with Austria. Tne government of Ticino is indefatigable ip its efforts to procure work and subsistence for the refugees. Col.

LOSS OF A STEAMSHIP—THE CHANCES OF WAR— PITHY LETTER ON THE SUBJECT. Letters from St. Petersburg reach to the 25th of May, but they contain ho political news, and the rate of ex change was unaltered. The Neptune steamship. from St, Petersburg to London, had been lost ib the Bultio; crew and £40,000 in gold on'freight were saved. The opinion in military circles on the continent, with respect to Russia's intentions of war, are that the Em- ror would not care to risk his fleet against the com- ined ¢quadrons of England and France, although he ight sgainst either of the fleets singly ; and by land it in already too late to undertake an invasion, for ab ut the end of May forage fails completely in the Danubian principalities, and on the banks of the Pruth.

Turkey. HISTORY OF MENSUHIKOF¥’S LEAVING—STRENGTH OF THE TURKISH EMPIRE—FORMIDABLE RESOURCES IN MEN AND MONEY AT ITS COMMAND—PEOHECY OF ITS DOWNFALL, ETO. It was telegrapbed to the London Times, from Trieste, May 3ist, that Count Nesselrode had arrived at Constan- tinople from St. Petersburg. The announcement caused great satisfaction in the London Stock Exchange, but ‘turned out to be untrue, A Constantinople correspondent, writing under date May 19, takes up the story at the point where it was an tieivated by telegraph:— "Yesterday, 18ch, fe saya) was the last day accorded by Prince Menschikoff to the Tarks to give their final auswer to the ultimatum of Rusia, w viermine which of the two sovereigns waa to govern the twelve millions of the population of the Greek Church in the Ottoman dominions—the Sultan or the Czar. The whole of the Great Council of the nation assembled at the house of the Grand Vizier, and long and ar xious ware the debates. Avery large majority were decided in their refusal of Rus. via’s Claims, and their determina ion was conveyed in a note to the Russian Ambassador; at the samo time over. tures for mutuai arrangements were made on the part of the Turks. Prince Men-chikoff, om receiving the aaswer, at once sent in bis final note, declaring that now all fur- ther negotiations were useless—that bis mission was at an end, avd nothing now remained for him but to de- part with the whcle of bis suite. On the same evening the ambastadors of England and France calied to tuke leave of hisexcelleney This, we believe, was a mere for mality, since, at the time of their visit, all ami- cable relations between the Porte avd Rus+ia had ceased, and nothing more eould be doue by diplomacy. Last night at a late hour, the Sultaa summoned all bis ministers of ttate into his presence and acdressed them. He observed that be had done all in his power to preserve the goodwill of the Emperor of Russia, and every reasonable request of the Cvar bad at all times been granted; but now a de- mend which infringed upon the prerogatives of h s crown, which he bad no right to cede d been tendered by the Emyeror, which be (the Sulthn) was bound to refase, If then it pleased the Almighty to inflict on the nations the scourge of war, he bimself was guiltless of it; but he pever sbould forget that he was the descendant of Othmen, and bearing that in mind, he would be the first to rick his person at the head of his troops, ia defence of the holy territory of Islam.” The Turks are now preparing for war in right earnest; £0,000 troops are being sent from Egypt, many of them'have already arrived, and troops and ammuni tion are moving at all points. It is supposed that in Roumelia, the point next threatened, the government will be able 10 bring at oece 80 000 men under arms. ‘The present Grand Vizier, being an Albanian, is able, through his intluence, to raise the whole of that warlike pepulation, A meeting of the British merchants resi- dent at Constantinople has been held. in order to addreas the Ambassador, and ask counsel in the present state of affairs. ‘The correspondent of the Daily News has an account more formidable still, of the means of defence at command of the Turks. He # ~The Divan, although not adimt- ting the possibility of war, yet believing that, in the pre- rent «tate of affairs, the best mode of assurtng peace was by taking an energetic attitude, resulved on adopting a caries of fmposing measures Orders were sent to Achmet Pacha, commanding the Mediterranean squadron to re- turn immediately with bis fleet. He expected at Constantinople in the course of the present week. The fleet of the Viceroy of Egypt was‘also expected in a few days, a courier having been sent to Alexandria with or ders. This fleet vas to bring a reinforcement of 15,000 men, At the same time orders were given to Omer Pacha, General ia-Chief of the army in Roumelia, to de: scend to Shumla with his corps d'armee, a force of from eighty to one hundred thousand excellent troops, inured to war, and a great number of which tock part in the expeditions to Bosnia, Kurdistan and Montenegro. The Commander-in Chief has also o:dexed the immediate formation of two camps—one a Reudjouck and the otber at Brussa, These two camps, composed of the redif or reserve, will comprehend 260, men, who, joined to the active army about 250.000, will form a total etfective force of more tham 500.000 available for the defence of the country. Besides its ordi- pary resources, Turkey has at its disposal the reserve chest, recourse to which is only had in ¢xtreme cases This treasury has not been opened since 1827. I:s present ccntents aré estimated at 300,000 *purses,”’ or thirty. seven million franca at least. The Turks of all ciasses are decided in their hostility to the Russians. and should wor break out, it is the whole nation that will rise against the Muscovite, The Greck clergy have taken the alarm at the first glimpse of the Russian yoke, and sre ready to persuade their flocks to oppose the ad- vance of @ despot who would reduce patriarchs ond priests to the slavery and ignominy of the Russian clergy. Important and powerful im Turkey, the Greek priests ree that the mexest corporal would ‘be of more conrequevce in Russia than they. It is said that with a view to recognise and confirm the devotion of the Chris- tian population, the Snitan eontemplated a new act of sovereignty, which shall forever secure to all Christians of whatever communion, rights and immunities more extensive and valuable than those which have been be- fore granted, whether in treaties, or in the hatci-sherif of Gulhané, or in the Tanzimat. ‘A copy of this act will be given to all the foreign embassies, £0 that it will be thenceforward a diplomatic document.

A telegraph from St, Petersburg, May 23, states that Russia bas demanded from the Shah of either the immediate repayment of the loan of 60,000,000 francs, or the cession of the territory of Asterabad, or the shores of the Caspian. The Shah has refused compliance with ei. and. A stupid affair is also telegraphed, that Prince Dol- zomki, Secretary to the Russian Embassy to Jeheran, had quarrelled ‘with the Shah’s Secretary, and struck him on ithe face. whereupon the Turkish “Ambassador made ubject of diplomatic note to the forei Consuls at Jeberan. ’ a eee The American Mission in the Panjaub, India. A correspondent of the Belfast Whig says:—The American Presbyterian Mistion have a station at Jullun- dur, where they have made about twenty converts. Thelr sehool is atterded at the present time by upwards of one hundred and twenty boys, the greater part of whem are Musselmans, but I have never seen any feaal children there, Although the Englieh language is taught, almost all the books are in Hindostanee. Arith- etic, reading. writing, grammar, aud geometry, are also taught. The boys arremble every morning at the sound of a small gong, when they are marched into the chapel, and prayer is offered up in Hindostanee, after which they go to their respective places in the schoolroom’ adjioning. There are a number of ushers, or ‘moonshees,’ under the superintendence of Mr. Lewis, the master. Tne natives prefer sending their children to this school, as they say. and justly, that their morals are strictly attended to. The clergyman’s bungalow is convenient to the chapel. He is a native, but occasionally some American divines who belong to the mission, and who are located at Leodianah, preach here. The missionaries cultivate and farm about two hundred acres of land and the only oats I have seen in the Punjaub, grow on theirfarm. They procured the seed, about four pounds weight, from Major Edwards, who brought it from England, and they have now a nice little field of it. They also cultivate some American maize. This miesion deserves every encouragement —it has done, and is doing, a great deal of good. In Canton ments there is a Protestant church and Roman Catholic chapel. and at Umritzer, there is one of the church mise sionaries laboring. At Lahore, Sealkote, and several other parts of the Punjaub, missionaries are stationed. Commercial Affairs.

The Baltimore Company and their hosts marched Cown tothe Fulton ferry, and on their arrival on the opposite side of the East river, they were received by the Pacific Engive Company No, 14, of Brooklyn, who os corted them to the Navy Yard. Here they visited the dry dock, the line of battle ship North Carolina, the Naval Lyceum, and other places of note in the Navy Yard. From here they marched to the City Hall, and took stages, namely, one eight horse stage and six four horse stages, belonging to Moatgomery Queea. Tey then drove down to Lindsay's Hotel, aS Greenwood, where they partook of a sumptuous repast. They then took ‘a tour round the Cemetery, and wore par- ticularly delighted with its fnany attractive beauties, visiting, among other monumen' the monument of the Fire Department, where Linhard’s Band per: formed a sclemn funeral dirge, appropriate for the occasion. After this they visited the moaument of Juba 1. Guire, member of Engine Company No 14, who was killed at the fire in Water street three years ago; there the band again played a funeral dirge in honor of the dead. Several other monuments were thea visited by them, and they were particularly struck with the mau- soleum of Miss Candee, the French young lady, which forme 60 beautiful an object in the cemetery. They then retook the stages, and drove to the engine house of Fire Company No. 14, and after having viewed their engine, which ts a very splendid apparatus, drove down to the ferry at the foot of Fulton street and crossed over to our city, arriving here about seven o'clock P.M. The com mittee of Columbia Exgine Company No. 14 then again resumed the chorge of the visiters, and escocted them to the Astor House, where they were regaled with the champague of the famous brand of Heidsick. They then ercorted their visiters to their quarters at the American Hotel. BANQUET TO THE BALTIMORE FIREMEN. A splendid banquet was given last evening, to Mechanical Fire Co., of Baltimore, by the Manhattan Company of New York, at Rabineau’s, No 39 Chambers street. The spacious dining hall was tastefully decorated with festoons of red and blue, and with banners inscribed with the names cf the different States. At the head of the table, immedi- ately over the head of the President, was the following inscuiption:— ‘Welcome our brother Firemen !’’ while at the opposive end was an allegorical painting of the Empire State. The caps, pipes, trumpets, and other parapbernalia of the fire department, formed a portion of the decoration:, and were harmoniously blended with the other ornaments used in the embeilieh- ment of the banqueting hall) It would be a diffi- cult task to particularize the decorations and sub- siantialities of the table; suffice to say that they were not inferior to anything of the kind ever got up in this city by our gallant firemen. The ‘delicacies of the season’? were spread in profusion, and there was no lack of the best of wine. The number who sat down to table at the banquet was about one hundred and fifty, inclucing the members of Mauhattaca Company and their Baltimore guests. It was near eleven o'clock before they arrived. and then considerable time elapsed before they commenced the discussion of the viands before them. Before taking their seats, Mr. A. Russel, of Manhattan Company, who presided, extended a hearty and cordial welcome to their guests, which was re ponded to by Mr. R C. Barry, «no be balf of the Baitimore firemen. Before the regular toasts were announced, the Presi- dent mace a few brief remarks complimentary to Me cbanica) Company, and concluded by givivg the following sentiment:— “The Mechanical Engine Company. of Baltimore—Ever ready to kindle the flame cf friendship, snd extinguish the flame of destruction.’’ This was received with hearty cheers; after which the following toasts were propored == * The President of the United States.” «The Goyernor and Lieutenant Governor of the State of New Youk.”” * The Governor of the State of Maryland." ‘Mechanical Engine Company, of Baitimore.” The last toast. was responded to by Mc Barry, ina brief and appropriate specch. Be concluded by propos ing the following :— “The hospitality of the New York Firemen—Like the ocean. it is fathomless.’’ At this period ot the proceedings we left, while th» company were enjoying themselves with “ the feast o: reason and the flow of soul” The Baltimore and Providence firemen, with their hosts will visit the Hippodrome this afternoon and evening. ‘whe Turf, Centrevie Covrsg, L.

Mempns, June 4, 11 358. The great Southern Convention, which commena > ite session on Monday next, the 6th inst., has filled Mem, vhis with its delegates and strangers. Already every hota ‘im the place is crowded; every nook or corner, which mig lt be rendered fit for sleeping in, has found an occupant. Delegates and strangers wander through the place, ea \- deavoring to procure for themselves some “‘ local habites - tion,’ and ‘the ery is, still they come.” It is imposi: ble, at present, to ray what will be the number of dele=, gates present at the opening of the Convention, but ap- pearances indicate that the assemblage will be one of the: largest, as well as one of the most important, ever com-- gregated in the United States. ‘This Southern Convention is the result of various infa~’ ences. The great advances made by the Northern States in promoting their commercial interests, by railroads an@ inland navigation, have aroused the jealousy of the south- ern States, which, equally favored by nature as the Nort, in everything that tends to produce wealth, are yet, im artificial aids, far behind the north. While the South has been dormant, the North has been busily at work, threading her entire domain with railroads, and, by this means, withdrawing from the South her commerce, and turning her, aw it were, inte ® mere agent for advancing Northern interests. The productions of the great West, which once rolled down the waters of the Ohio and Mississippi, enriching the Southern cities, is now borne along the northern bee ders cf our nation, aud this Western portion of our Unies now empties its golden harvest into the American metre- polis, New York. This revolution has been affected with- ins short period by the Northern railroads, which have, as it wore, tapped the great Northwest, and to-day the amount of freight carried, and the price charged for ite transportation through the Western rivers, is nearly one hundred per cent less than it was five years age, ‘The importations of our country, under existing af- fairs, are alao no less advantageous to the North tham the centralization of its exportations. New York being the national commercial depot, dragvs to her wharves the great bulk of foreign products, aud from her the West and South have been compelled to receive these pre- ducts, psying upon them importers’ profits, jobbers’ pre- fits, double shipping, storage, and other iacidental ex- penses; so that the retail merchants cannot afford to sell at a less rate than one hundred per cent over the origi- nal cost of the importer, and realize a profit. It is esti- mated that no less a sum than twenty millions would be saved to Southern consumers by a system of direct trade. These superior facilities of the North consequeatly rob the South of its capital, which is absorbed by the North, aud ip addition, Northern banking cspital realizesa profit four or five times greater than Southern. Now York and the North are consequently growing richer, and the South becoming more and more her dependent, Another of the great causes which, im connection with the foregcing, has called the South to the defence of her interests, is Northern abolitionism, While she hee looked upon their gradual innovation upon her trade, swallowing up the very fountain of her wealth, she hae also beheld associated with it attacks upon her private institutions, while even the sanctity of her laws, and the respect due her as belonging to the same great common- wealth with the North, have not been eufiicient to render the property of her'citizens safe against the schemes of Northern fava Under these circumstances, it only remains for the South to develope her own power and re- sources, and to relieve herself of her growing dependemey upon the Northern States. With this end in view, this Con- vention now assembles; and by a concertof action among the Southern States, they intend to reap the rich harvest of industry and interprise, and render themselves com- mercially, fivancially and socially indepentent. What ieans shall be employed to, accomplish this end, is new the question which the Convention is to decide. It is the opinion of scme tbat it will have no immediate practeal revult, but its effect will be morely to pu’ the ball im motion for the future developement of the power of the South, But by far the largest majority of the delegates to this Convention think that it will effect an immediate revolution in the trade ofthe whole country, and not only benefit the South by the measures the Convention will adopt, but the whole Union, The one grand object which the Convention will strive to effect, and which itis thought will create this almost immediate revolu- tion, is the building of the Pacific railway. All other objects are considered subservient to this, or asa na- tural consequence, in the event of the consumation of this one grand notianal scheme. A proposition will be made in the Convention, to devise some means to enable the Texas Central Railroad, of which General Momu- can Bunt of Texas is President, and the Hon. R. J. Walker, Vice President, to construct their road, the com- pletion of which will connect Charleston on the Atlantic and San Francisco on the Pacific, with a direct trans-conti- nent railway. The reasons which will be urged im the Convention in support of this messure have never be- fore this been made public. It is stated that the credit belongs to General Hunt of being the originator of this grand scheme. Upon a survey of the map delineating the various railroads through the Western States, either in progress of construction, or chartered, we find that Fulton, on the Ked river, in the southwest corner of the State of Arkansas, becomes a focus of railways, streteh- ing its iron arms toward every portion of our Union, These roads are as follows:—The Trunk road extendi from Galveston to Fultoa, a distance of three hund: and fifty miles; from this road a branch leads to Ope- ooras, scuth of the centre of Louisiana the Vicksburg road, rusning from Fulton to Vicksburg, on the Missis= sippi, ard there connecting with the line of railroad di- rect to Charleston, through the most Southern states; the Gaiow landing road, running from Fulton to Gains-iand- ing, on the Mississippi, being the nearest point to Faltom ou thisriver. The Memphis branch, running from Fulton to Little Rock and thence to Memphis, on the Mississippé, and there al:o connecting with rallzond direct to Chal ton, the Cairo branch, an offshort of the St. Louis rod, running to Cairo, in the south of lino’ necting with a road extending north through the centre of that State, or taking the Uhio river, and the W! road, ba: direct route to Baltimore; and finaily the st Louis road, running from Fulton’ to Little thence to St. Louis, and there intersecting with railroads through the Northern States direct to New York city. These roads have ail been cl six sections of land have been granted by the government to each thus en- suring their covstruction, and two, the Opeloosas and the Vicksburg, have already been commeuced. Thus we pave seven roads verging from Fulton, each one com- pleti.g a direct route through our Union. That these rouls should terminste at Fulton is but natural; ail of them were made depending solely upon the commerce ef our Western States, and at the time of the organization of each, not one had any conception that the whole of them were forming such a grand centre from which should start the great Pacific road. The honor of being the first to discover this advantage for advancing reat enterprise has been reserved to Gen. Hunt. The State of Texas has graoted to the Texas Central Railroad eight sections of of 640 acres each, per mile, and this company har entered into its with thirteen of the most wealthy and influential citizens of Sen Fraa- cisco that they ai tw the Western Colorado, to meet and intersect wi! Texan Central, if they are successful in establishing road. Thad | it epee that the Texas ee Railroad Company has with t) m every edivantage commu- nication with other roads, of locality, and of climate. It proposes to run through the Kl Paso’ del Norte, and tay part the torrory ef that government whl any part tory of lie the course of the reed. is then will be the
