It cannot be denied, however, that the wilifulness of Nicbolas, by grace of God, &c., a8 he styles bimeelf in bis last manifesto, has involved the qnestion with difficulties that it will not be easy to surmount. Supposing even no collision does occur, and he is allowed for the present to retain ocenpation of the principalities, the main question will not be dispored of by the oppression of the peaceful in- habitants of Wallachia and Moldavia, nor can Tur- key be expected to be oue whit more submissive after this invasion than before; and moreover, it is quite certain that France and England will now less. than ever be favorably inclined towards Russia, after Proceedings which amount to a flagrant breach of all ivtervational law, and have been persisted in against their strongly expressed opinion. The Em- peror’s invasion of the principalities, whether it be considered a casus belli or not, is clearly a gross act of aggression, and though Turkey may prefer to de- fend the pasces of the Balkan rather than the banks of the Danube, yet the very absence of immediate re- sistance will make his advances all the more unjusti- fisble. The conflict may be avoided for weeks pos- sibly, but the Czar’s cause will not be strengthened Dy delays, nor can negotiations be carried on with any confidence so long as his hostile armament is encamped witbin the limits ofthe Turkish dominions, In fact,to obtain guarantees by a military occupation, is clearly out of the question, except with a con- qvered country, which Turkey is not; nor will it be poscible for the Porte to renew its amicable relations ‘with Russia till the Csar has withdrawn his troops; ‘amd meanwhile the Western powers will have every right to resent an act so offensive to themselves and so perilous te the peace of Europe. There are some people, indeed, who think that Turkey has no resources, no vitality, no q@oerry of her own, and must fall without the aid of her allies; but this we incline to think isa sad miatake. ‘The Tarkish army is full of enthusiasm and decision, Joves its youthful and intelligent monarch, and has confidence in a cedinet which comprises the most @evored, intelligent, and experienced men in the em- e. Since 1828, too, the Ottoman soldiers have a moulded to a rigorous discipline, and been or- d on the model of our best modern armies by pean officers and engineers. Let us consider, ‘wo, by what religious en' usiasm the fessors of Islamism are to a man inspired. From Persia, ria, Egypt, Tunis, and many other countries under edan rule, flow in offers of assistance— troops ardent to take part in the approaching strag- gle under the standard of the Crescent. Upwards of ene hundred thousand men are already collected om the first line for the defence of the Danube, from Widdin to &chum!a, usder Omer Pacha, whilst Achmet Pacha is organizing another army at Rus- tack to oppose the Russians there. Verily, a spirit- ed resistance like this, established on an extensive geale and such enthusiasm as this for the contest, | show te indications of decay or misgiving, but are rather the manifestations of a people quite as much convinced of their power as of the right of their cause. Meanwhile, however, the world has been fa- vored with a third manifesto trom Count Nesselrode, still defending the agcressions of his imperial mas- ter, defending it this time, forsooth, on the ground ef the advance of the Western fleets to Besika Bay, as # all the world were blindly ignorant of the fact that | if not the actual step itself, yet the resolve to take it had been made be‘ore the fleets stirred, much less be- | fore they entered the Hellespont. He speaks, too, of | @ur misconception of the Emperor's motives, as if his acts did not speak trumpet-tongued as to his future 8. The wily Nesselrode may perhaps hood- Wink such an old dotard as Aberdeen ; but they will | not deceive the British nation or the nor will either submit to be deceive coming even from an old, wily dipl A few members in the pees, to unfold the reasons of c ve table indecision. A day or two perhaps will gmch of which as yet we are whol qnorant as to | gots and motives at home 2s well as abroad. ‘The evident disunion of the two contending parties % our cabinet on the Russian question have given too wide a currency to rumors, that the sentiments ef these two countries, of France and England, are mot d’accord respecting the course to be pursued in the East—that neither poe has made up its mind | as to the light in which the Rassian occupation of the principalities is to be regarded, and that Eng- | Jand especially, through her minister, shows symp- | fons of vacilla ion, hesitates to pass the Dardanelles ‘with her ficet, and wishes Turkey to find some other means of compromising her « el with Rus-i ‘Whatever Lord Aberdeen, how , May think fi himself, his cabinet are not vacillating or nndecide and we believe any such ramor has 1 T sour than the endeavor of Russian iniriguents to sow dis- trust between the cabinets of St. James and the Tuil- Teries, or else the fertile inven' of stock jobbers on | ‘the Bourse. In fine, we most confidently aitirm that both the policy and action of the two countries are | one, and that both powers look on the invasion of Moldavia as a violation of the integrity of the Utto- Man empire, and as an overt act of war. The yery existence of the Fe Courts, with their Augean stable of tively a disgrace to this country; be happens that the greater the abuse, the greater is the difficulty cf removing it, we are not surprised | that so many fruitless efforts have been mode at dif- | ferent times to get them puton something like a ereditable footing. These rema @ motion made by Mr. Collie member for Plymouth, for the i to transfer the testament irisdiction of the ecelesiastical courts to the c on law and county eourts; and should be suceced, in the present or mneceeding session, in relieving the big wigs of Doc- tore’ Commons of these functions, they will soon sink into that nothingness to which they should Ihave subsided long ago. But is the amount of the ewl at all known in this’ country, and are people aware that up and down there are no less than three hundred and seveaty courts regulated by canon and civil law, and that of these eighty-seven have gene- ral jurisdiction and a pretty | ul influence, and two hundred and eighty-five Rar jurisdiction? To destroy t bas been attempted by « liam Scott (afterwards 1. the recommendation of the Ch 4m 1852, and the year after a Real Property Commisioner+—in 136 by Lord Cot- tenbam, when Chancellor—siuce which three dif- ferent bills at least have been introduced, all of which have either been lost or let drop at the end of At length comes Mr. Collier, not, he, to deal with the subject of aby pose remedies, to put it ont of the Soe earn to do any further miachi we “think, he propores to do pre tively, for if he witadraws from them their testa- mentary business, it will, in effect, be the removal | of their palulum ete, inasmuch as this department of their law business bas for years ‘been their principal support and the leading source @f their importance; and if this only be removed from them to the other —as it sould have een long ago, and Mr. © r now proposes—they will sink from inanition, almost without the ne- cessity of a coup de vrace to send them to the tomb of the Capulets. Lord Palmerston complimented the member very highly on the ability displayed by him im treating the subject,and the motion met with general approbation, though at this period of the session there seems little chance of its being carried are suggested by | telligent tion of the ‘into law. It is not perhaps generally known, that in every @vantry of Europe, Russia has a regularly organised system of espionage, m ined at vast expense; and moreover that many of the persons einployed by er—not Russians only, but often Germans and French—move in a position of aoviety that might be po fe to place them above the necessity of en- sy ig in suc! lisrepatable services. Titled persons officers, with hundreds of minor agents, are travelling through the continent, picking up stray waits of information—their scale of remuncration warying according to the rank and consequent use- fainess of the party. Money, indeed, is not spared, however high the douceur required, in getting secrot Snformation of affairs generally, but more especially ‘with reference to Fraace and England; not merely Politics, bat trifling gossip, the ruinors of the salons, every thing in short, more or less false and scanda- | fous, that may serve to amuse as well as instruct the ooartat St. irg—no matter who brings it, the titled mouchard or the more humble lecquars de or commirsionatre, it ia very aatinfactory to see independent members the House of Commons stirring themselves to abusea in the church as well as state; and at large will feel thankfal to Mr. Philli- more, the a ft ber for Tavistock, for having brought for restraining the rale of next checking, in short, that ontgageous | | On knocking off the back of the cast, which wasof that | with blocks of iron and copper, and that divers flaws, ‘ cracks, and holes in the casting had been plagzed | that the other ‘‘relicfs” were if anything worse than souls, that has made our ehurch the scandal of the , and the mock of dissenters. What is the t at present with respect to the sale of first presentations ’—thet when an advertisement of sueh property on sale ap- pears, not one word is said abont the spiritual duties to be performed or the spiritual gualifications of the prrcbasere—oh Do, not word of that—but instead ereof we find large mention of the fewsess of the parbeners the goodness of the residence, the auty and salubrity of the country, and the proxi- mity of the next trout stream or pack of hounds. Mr. Phillimore stated this, and his bill proposed to check this monstrous evil; but, forsooth, the false friends of the church deemed their craft in danger and kicked up a row to burk the bill. Yes, there was a mighty outcry against the home-traths he set before them, snd a strong parsdn-power of opposi- tion to pooh-pooh down the measure as uniapor- tant. Unimportant, faith, when the religions in. terests of thousands are at stake! No, no; let the member for Tavistock persevere ; for his cause is good, and his arguments are of such a kind as can- not be heard without conviction or replied to with- out shame. A trial teok place the other day in the Court of Common Pleas, which eter clearly shows that the race of Shylock has not ceased to ply its trade, and that there ure as plenty of Antenios to be pigeoned now as in the palmy days of Venice. One Mr. Park- inson, a young fellow who had the misfortune of coming into £10,00@ on arriving at years of age rather than discretion, gets into the clutches of a Jew fellow, calleé Simmens, who lends bim or rather | pretends to lend him money, on divers bills at enor- mous rates of interest, and moreover sells him two or three horses, all of course mere screws, and among them one Oneida Chief, stated to be a high- mettled horse from America, which the young blood contrived to kill accidentally. But this was not ail, the young spendthrift must have a lady ; and Sim- mons thinks that jewelry becemes a lady: argal, it is bis province to furnish it, which he does most Teadieeliy to the tune of some £250, only taking care to give paste articles instead of the real jewels for which the money was given. In fact, it would be difficult to pitch ona more scandalous case, and one which has led to such seandalons disclosures. Well, indeed, might the judge express his surprise to find two such persons in cojunetion—such a knave and such a feol. The Jew himself, however, under all the circumstances, and with no very enviable ante- ceéents to boot, must have been somewhat a fool as well as knave to go into court and seck to recover on his fraudulent bills, &c. The case of fraud was as clear as sunlight, and the jury returned an imme- diate verdict for the pigeon against the crow, to the great satisfaction of a yery crowaed court. Five years ago, one thousand three hundred and sixty-three punishments, or forty thousand five hun- dred and forty etripes, were inflicted on the back of or Jack in the royal navy; and last year it seems hat the nomber diminished to five hundred and se- venty eight floggings and seventeen thousand six bundred_ stripes. ell, this is something; but, in truth, what we want is the total abolition of the cat. Not a humanity, but prudence and the self-inter- est of the service require its disuse. While sailors are becoming every day more scarce, it is hardly likely that men will enter a service that has torture asa part of its discipline. Times are altered now, and Jack has a choice of service, with good pay too; and under these circumstances, before he volunteers under the bread pennant he will turn overin his mind the remembrance of a certain lash, and when he reflects that in the last five years four thousand eight hundred British seamen have received one hun- dred and fifty-four thousand four hundred and forty lashes, or about thirty each all around, he will pause long before he enters the Queen’s service, with all its smartness. Aye,ere long, the time may come when the cat will cease to flog, simply, because with a cat men cease to enter the navy. There has satelypoen a Bice exposure about the bronzes of the Nelson column. It appears that the bronze bas-reliefs, representing three out of four of the Nelson victories, and placed in three sides of the pedestal of the column, in Trafalgar square, are only partially bronze, and bronze of an inierior quality; and, strange to say, the discovery has beea made by an anonymons letter sent to the Woods and Forests, and ascertained to have been written by the wife of a member of the firma who cast the reliefs, and who, having quarrelled with her liege lord, adopted the revenge of disclosing the mysteries of the materials of the bronzes. On receipt of this communication, an immediate investigation was commenced into the condition of the fourth bronze, still on the premises of Messrs. Moore (father and son) & Tressange—the firm to whom the job of casting the bronzes had been entrusted. ‘The agreement was an understood “no documents in the matter”—that £747 103. should be paid for each bronze, which was also to be of the weight of three and a half tons of bronze. A very short examination sufficed to show how the under- standing had been understood by all of the parties. treffiein the core of eculiar species of bronze commonly known as pl te of Paris, it was found that, instead of the sti ted costly material, the whole “relief” was filled with lead. At this stage of discovery the immaculate Mr. Moore made a clean breast of it, and confessed that under inspection, and—more fi nt still—ac- knowledged that each was a ton short in weight, the castings having been weighed before a Government Inspector, with a false weight made of tin, and paint- ed so as to resemble rusty iron, and which was load- ed to the extent of only two instead of three tons aud a balf. Further inspection by competent autiorities proved that what the castings did contain of bronze was of an inferior quality, and that the ‘‘reliefs,”’ with their | plugged cracks and flaws, would not last any length of time. ‘‘Imperishable as Lronze”’ is, thercfore, a | saying which evidently cannot be applied to the re- resentations of Copenhagen, the Nile, and tra- falgar. Of coursea prosecution was at once instituted by the government against * Tressange, Moore and others,” a proceeding which has resulted in the Lord Chi Justice sentencing the elder Moore and the French | partner to three months, and the younger Moore to | one month imprisonment, amongst the third class | “ détenues”’ in the Queed’s Bench prison. It oseurs | to me that the Government Inspector, or Inspectors, who were 80 palpably ignorant, if not worve, should have stood in for their share of the penalty.

Again Start from New York—Wrong Car—Old Revolutionary Soldier—Lake Muhopac—Delight- Sul Summer Retreat— Arrive at Troy—Ranner s— Take Steamer by Mistake at Whitehal! —Moatreal —Asmerican Flag Flying—Excursion from Troy —Temperance Party Delayed—Concluding Re marks. Your insertion of my communication, relative to the detention that was experienced on Satarday be- tween New York and Rouse’s Point, I find has given very general satisfaction, and for the double purpose of placing travellers on their guard against decep- tion, and calling the attention of the companies in- terested in the line to a state of things of which travellers complain, and by whic th®y suffer, I for ward you a statement of what happened subsequent to my leaving the city on Monday «afternoon, when, by mistake, I took a car which ran no farther than Croton Falls, and which leaves neariy at the same time with the express train for Albany. I was about ten miles from New York ‘when I dis- covered my error. Soon after that the train in which [onght to have been seated eame up and passed without stopping as I expected. In this dilemma, having necessarily to remain till 11 o’clock the next day, ! philosophically determined to make the best of the mishap, and finding that at about five miles from the depot at Croton Falls, there is a small lake called Mahopac, which is a delightful resort from the heat aud noise of the city, I determined to recon- noitre the spot for the benefit of those who may be disposed to enjoy a retreat so secluded, and yet s0 easily reached, the Harlem cars running past or to the depot several times during the day. It was about seven o'clock in the afternoon when I reached the Croton Falls, and a» walk ef five miles brought me to the lake, the distance being beg riled by the conversation of a worthy man who had jast returned from visiting his relatives in New Brans- wick, N. J., where he has an uncle residing, who served during the revolutionary war under General Washington, and who is now in his ninety-eighth year; but who retains his mental faculties unimpair- ed, and who walks twice a week a mile to the shop of the barber who for a great number of years has been in the habit of shaving him; the old gentleman being opposed to the filthy practice, which prevails so extensively inthe United States, of going un- shaven. It was about half pact nine o'clock when! reached the Lake, where there are four hotels, and with the advice of my temporary companion, I steered Sar the farthest, kept by Mr. Thomson, where after taking refreshment, I found a clean and comfortable bed; and after enjoying a night's repose, on the following morning strolled out. I found the lake to be about three miles in length and breadth, provided with several very fine sailing and row boats, there being abundance of pickerel or pike to be taken; horses and carriages are to be procured; and while I was there, a party went off for Peekakill. Numbers of parece from New York spend Sunday at the lake, and return to the cares, and toil, aud business of life reinvigorated on the tollowing Monday. Those who can so arrange it, had better make their visit to this romartic spot on the week days, when the hotels are not crowded, and when they can enjoy undistarbed, that quiet and tranquility which they seek. The farmers in this section of the country send large quantities of milk daily to the New York market; andon my way to the lake, I met several licht wa- gons loaded with cans containing the milkings of that evening, which would arrive in the city by eleven o'clock that night; and from this vicinity it is mpl with a profusgon of water. left the lake on my return about eight o’elock, in one of the stages that run during the day to the railroad depot, which we reached in less than an hour—the road passing over a succession of hills, through cultivated fields, which must have been brought to their present condition at much labor and cost, ayg which are surrounded with stone fences, that bear unmistakable proofs of antiquity and indus- try. The Harlem cars came along ateleven o'clock, and T reached Troy at three in the afternoon. I have very generally on the railroad lines between Maine and the Missicsippi and_Ohio rivers, but no- where else. except tormerly at Whitehall, have I met ce in which thege is so much confusion, or which infected with ftinners, whose object is to mis- the traveller; against which, owing to the fre- t changes that are made, it is impossible for the experienced to gnard. Friday T would advise all who travel this line to do; | being assurred by one of those fellows, that by going board the steamer at Whitchall, I would wake up in the morning and find myself at Rouse’s Point, in | time to take the cars for Montreal, I took his advice. | Just as | was going to bed, however, | learned that | the boat would not go beyond Platteburg, and that I | must take the cars there, croas the St. Lawrence at Lachine, and there take those for Montreal—which course I had to adopt, owing to the steamer touching at Durlington before day, and at least two hours earlier than she did a month since. It is much to be regretted that there are so many | conflicting interests at work on the line from New Yo in this direction, and that such repeated changes are made in the time and manner of run- ning the cars and steamers it abounds with ever natural attraction to the ler, who is in search of plearure ; and I am satisiied that could an amal- gamation of all those lines be effec would be beneiltted. Jn the meantime, I would ad- vise travellers who have to remain on the route during the night, to disregard representations that may be made at Troy, or elsewhere, and to proceed ie oe and sleep there, where there is aa ex- cellent hot On erriving at this city on Wednesday, I found the | American flag flying at the Montreal House, and on | board thé Iron Duke, which connects with the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad, a party being expected from Troy on an excarsion, and which ar- rived ebout seven o'clock, numbering over one hun- dred, about seventy of whom were accommodated at this hotel. Afler viewing ail that is to be seen here, as fay as a day would permit, several of them proceeded to Quebec, and this morning the others returned homewards. On Wednesday a temperance excursion 9130 came | off, hence to St. Albans, on Lake Champlain, within the American lines, where the British flag floated that day as did the American at Montreal. Ido not know how it is, but it seems to me that there never was @ temperance excursion, requiring that the heavens should be propitious, that the clonds did not ponr down their watery treasures. It was just so in this instance; and although it only rained three honrs during the day, yet it was 20 managed both below and aloft, that two of these were spent in the open eirat St. Albans, to the utter destruction of the contemplated /é/e champetre. A more pleasing task remains to be performed in apid—andas far as care and precaution can effect it—the safe travelling on the linea to which I have referred. On Saturday, { passed over three hundred miles at the rate of - , thirty miles an hour on an average. Tie conductors | [found uniformly gentlemanly and obliging in their demeaner; those under their direction appeared to be strictly attentive to their duties, and the brakes, in particular, were well attended. The iniux of seventy visiters, distinct from the ordinary arrivals at the Montreal House, waa adequately provided for, at ashort notice, by Mr. Coleman, formerly of Troy, the Ve nao of the hotel, and who is ably seconded by his bookkeeper, Mr. George E. Simons, a ceur- teons and intelligent young man. The presidin, officers and om intendents throughout the tine, f doubt not, desire to render their respective lines as agrocable as safe; and it only requires a little atten- tion to the details, and the dissemination of correct information, to make the entire route a favorite with the travelling portion of the ee a A Passenger. Desrevorivy Fire at WaTRRtowN.—On the 23d inst. a fire broke out in the extensive car manufac- tory, foundry, machine shop, &c., of Horace W. Woodruff, Ksq., and in one hour the whole establish- ment, covering nearly two acres of ground, was in ruins. The Joss of property by this calamity is about $100,000, of which only $20,400 is insw From seventy to eighty hands are thrown out of employ- ment. About three hundred car wheels were under cover, but most of them were not materially injured. Four freight cars finished, and about twenty others in parts, nearly completed, were consumed. The fire was discovered near the cupalo where it is in- ferred that some wood work, stairs or floor mast have been ignited by the heat of the furnace. The flames shot up to the root, and communicated immediately to the machine shop. The main building, before the fire companies ed the place, and the block were at the mercy of the flames.

Interesting and Lmporant Letter from Capt. [Prem the Memphis Eazle and Engut om hie alrer. 4 New York, Jane lass. Srr—In compliance with the request of several de- legates to the convention about to assemble at Mem- phis, Tennessee, I am induced to off r the following remarks upon the subject of a Pacifie railway. This macs which is one of pre-eminent and ab- sorbing interest to the mercantile world, and is pro- bably destined to produce a greater revolatioa in eommerce than any other scheme that has been ori- ginated in modern times, will undoubtedly oscapy a Pp inent position among the subjects that will be submitted to the consideration of the convention. Having for several years past given this matter my attention, by collecting facts from personal ob- servation and from others, I trust that the informa- tion herein communicated will not be regarded by the gentlemen of the convention as wholly without interest. The gigantic project of connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific by a great national railway is advo- cated by all parties and sections of the United States, all agreeing in the opinion that it should and will be carried into effect at no very distant period. ‘The chief obstacles that seem to be preseoted at the present time are those which arise from local feeling and interest. In the selection of a route for a work of this description there are several considerations which it i mnifest should hear upon the issue. In the fit place, it should be located upon the most central and direct feasible route, or that one which will snbserve the views and interests of the greatest number of our citizens. In thesecond place, the distances between the termini, materials found for the construction and maintenance of the in the district through which it would pass, as well as the topograpby and general physical geography of the country along the route, are among the items which would bayg an influence in the determina- tion of the question. Io the third place, I con- ceive it to be high] important that a route should (it possible) be selected where the transit would not be obstructed by deep snows. Upon the route which passes the Great Salt Lake, and, indeed, upon all the routes which croas the range of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the snow lays upon the ground for a great pertion of the year. It will be seen, therefore, it we admit the practica- bility of constructing a railroad through a countr, exceedingly raj Kee and mountainous for several hundred miles, like that upon the routes which pass the Sierra Nevada mountains, that in eonsequence of the deep snows it could only be made use of during a part of the season. In evidence of this I have been informed by two gentlemen of intelligence and undoubted veracity that in the month of August they encountered snow from twenty to fifty feet deep in these mountains upon the continuation of the South Pass route. The most gealous champions of this route ap) to have abandoned the idea of its practicability for a railway, and as the climate and features of the coua- try north of the South Pass are of such a character as to preclude the probability of finding a su'table pass through the mountains in this direction, they are now reeking for a route further south. Up to this time there has not, to my knowledge, been any well authenticated information of a rowe which would admit the passage of wagons between lati- tude 40 degrees and the Meal ofthe Gila river. I am aware that several mountain men have given ac- counts of passes within these limita; but so far as I am concerned, I should, in the absence of farther evi- dence, exercise great caption in giving credence to such statement. The fepresentations of some of these men may be correct in every particular; but if euch is the fact, these pues have been discovered since 1849. At Santa le, inthe summer of that year, I consulted with several of the best mountain guides in New Mexico, who had Spee ag) passed over the country lying between the Pacific and the Rocky mountains, and undoubtedly possessed a more intimate knowledge of the country than any other men living, and they all concurred inthe opinion that there was no known by which wagons could reach the Pacific nearer than the Gila river. It is said that a route has been discovered, within afew years past, crossing the mountains arege what is called “Walker's Pass.” This leaves Rio Grande ato mae called Albuquerque, about forty miles south of Santa Fe, and runs near the thirty- fifth parallel of latitude some one hundred and fifty miles south of the Gila river. Onur government has ey ordered an examina- tion of this route, and we will soon be in possession ot authentic information concerniog it. Should it prove as good as it has been represented by the mountain traveller who discovered it, I believe it will be the most northerly feasible route for a Pacific reilway, (unless the one recommended by Cul. Toe and*Mr. Beale should prove as they an- icipate.) the measured distance from Albuquerque to St. Louis is eleven hundred and forty-five miles, and from the same point to Memphis, vin Fort Smith, is ten hundred and eighty miles. 1 imagine there will be but little difficulty, so far as the surface of the country is concerned, in constructing a railroad from Albuquerque to Bt. Louis. The route which I myself discovered and marked out in 1849,commences at Fort Smith, Arkaneas, and follows near the valley of the Canadian upon the south side of that stream for six hundred miles, when it leaves the river and traverses a rolling prairie country in a very direct course for Albuquerque and Santa Fe. On leaving Fort Smith this road passes over a gently undulating district, covered, for the most part, with heavy timber, oc- casionally interspersed with small prairies, which afford the very best of grass for eight months in the year, and intersected by numerous pereunial spring brooks flowing over a productive soil, which renders it altogether one of the very best agri- cultural sections. This character continues for one hundred and eighty miles from Fort Smith, to near the ninety-ninth degree of west longitude, where the road emerges from the wood lands, and strikes the plains where there ia but little timber, except on the immediate borders of the water.courses; the soil becomes thin and sandy, and, owing to the periodi- cal dronght of the summer season, it cannot be made available for agriculture without the aid of the artifi- cial irrigation; there is, however, sufficient water upon this portion of the route to serve the purpose of a railroad at all seasons, and the wood is sufficient for fuel fora long time. Immediately on leaving “Cross Timber” near the 9th meridian of longitude, the road strikes 9 ridge which separates the Cana- diau river from the Washita,and continues upon it to the xonrces of the latter stream—a distance of about | three hundred miles; this dividing ridge rans ina rey direct course for Albuquerque, is firm and level, and makes one of the best natural roads T have ever seen. From the head of the Washita river the road continues near the valley of the Canadian for one hundred miles, Meg arated crossing small affinents which furnish the travel- Jer with water. The arable soil upon this route extends very near the same distance west as apon the Misvonri route, or what is called the Santa Ie | trace; but I am informed by persons who have | assed over both routes, that they regarded the one leading from Arkansas a3 possessing fewer obstacles to the construction of a railway thau the other. Should the reconnoiseance that is about being made toe the impracticability of carrying the road peed ia Walker's Pass, it will be necessary to go still further sonth. Inthe stimmer of 1540, I was directed to escort a company of emigrants from Fort Smith te New Mexiro, on their way to California. Upon our arrival at Santa Fe, we ascertained that there was no route known by which wagona could penetrate the range of Sierra Meaibros mountains, north of the Gila river. It therefore became neces- sary for the emigrants to turn to the soath, and travel three hundred miles down the Rio Grande, before they reached the point of departure from the river. Jt then occurred to me that if a road could be found from this point in a direct cource for Fort Smith, it would be much shorter than the one we had made along the Canadian. I accordingly left the Rio Grande at a place called Denna Ana, and was entirely saccessfal in my efforts to discover and establish a good road between the two points before mentioned. This road for three hundred miles from the Mio (rrande tra- verses an elevated prairie country, intersected by three ranges of mounteins, upon which there is muc good pine timber. We were enxbled, however, to pasa at the buses of these mountains, where there was but very little elevation or depression in the general surface of the cowtry; there are broad swells of surface with spacious valleys intervening, but the ascenta and descents to these are so slight as to offer but little impediment to the eonstruction of a railroad. After lags this section wo struck the head waters of the Brazos and Colorado rivers of Texas, and for three hundred miles our road passed through a district where the soil was good, abundant- ly watered, and evvered for the most part with a ee of mesquitte wood. From thence we entered the Cross Timbers upon the ridge Gvidieg the waters of Red River from those of the Trinity, where we found a level and most excellent Toad, jing over a country similar in character to it pon the Albuquerque route, east of the Cross Timbers. After a careful and at- tentive consideration of the advantages of the differ- ent routes that have been explored, I cannot resist the strength of my conviction that the one leading from the Mississippi river, at Memphis or its vicinity, via kl Paso or Donna Ana, and thence down the (il river to its intersection with the Colorado river, and across to San Diego, s#e3 Moat fa over all others yet discovered. The arable soil upon this route extends three degrees of longitude farther west than upon any of the more northerly routes. There ia a very extensive coal field at Fort Belknap, near where the road would cross the Brazos river, and the vast tracts of land covered with mesquitte tim- ber, which for its durability is admirably adapted for railroad ties, and would farnish any amount of the best fuel, are not found upon other routes. Ae this road is embraced within the parallel of north latitude, (33 and 35,) it would not be obstructed by anow, as it seldom falls more than three inch- a z @incovered. I bave not myrelf passed tion west of the Rio Gran: Mr. A. B. Gray, who was atwehed a4 astronomer to the becndery commiss’on, and made a careful sar- vey of this country, that there will be no difficulty in constructing a road from the Rio Grande to the Gila, and thence down that stream to the Colorado ard San Diego; and that it oan ge made entirely within what he conceives to be the territory of tho United States, with the exception of one bend in the Gila river, where, without incurring great ex- pense, it will be necessary to pass over Mexioan ter- ritory for twenty miles. “It will be seen by a glance at the maps of the country, that Red river, of Lousi- «na, from its mouth to Fulton, Arkansas, has a course nearly north and south; that at this point it makes a sudden change in its direction to nearly east and west, and continues this course to its sources. The dividing ridge, which has before been spoken of, terminates vear Fulton, and is for three h ndred miles west so perfectly smooth and level that but very little excavation would be requir- ed in waking a grade for arailroad. The distance from Fulton to the Rio Grande is eight hundred miles; from thence to San Diego, on the Pucifio, about eight hundred and fifty more; from the point of departure upon the Missouri river, through the South pass, to Sacramento city, is twenty-two hun- dred and fiity miles; from thenee to the Pacific at San Francisco, is one hundred and sixty more —ma- king the entire distance twenty-four hundred and ten miles, while the other, from Fulton to San Diego, is only sixteen aundred and fifty miles. Ifthe two routes are continued to St. Louis and Memphis, the former will be twenty-seven hundred, and the latter about nineteen hundred and fifty miles in length. From Fulton, eal the road can be built to Fort Smith without difficulty, or to any point upon the Minter which may be found to be a proper ter- minus. In consequence of a revere illness with which I have been afflicted for several days past, 1 have not been able to devote as much time to this communi- cation as I could have desired. If the facts which are thus hastily thrown together are of any service to gentlemen who have the enbject ofa Pacific rail- way at heart, I shall feel abundantly rewarded. am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R.

Gabrielle Delamotte took place on the last week of June, at Willis’s rooms, attended by a very fashionable audi- ence. Malle. Delamotte made her appearance on the platform, azcompanied by Vieuxtemps and Piatti, to play the grand trio of Mendelssohn, for pianoforte, violin, and violoncello. If there could have been any doubt about the superiority of Malle. G. Dela- motte as a performer of the ‘classical’ musio, her -execution of this magnificent composition would have completely set it at reat. No other than the author of the work has ever before combined such fine bril- liancy and rapidity. Mdlle. G. Delamotte took the first allegro, the scherza, and the finale at the true Mendelssohn speed; it was impossible for fingers to go faster. Her rapidity of execution was wonderfal, and it was not mere mechanical excellence which lent an interest to the performance of Mendelssohn's trio. The ensemble, with Vieuxtemps and Piatti, reached the highest possible perfection. Malle. G. Dela- motte’s poetical reading and finished execution of Beethoven’s grand sonatos, (for the pianoforte,) have already been mentioned in appropriate terms. Hav- ing established her supremacy as an executant of the truly great school of music, inthe trio of Mendelssohn and the sonato of Beethoven, it was an easier task for Mdlle. G. Delamotte to show that in the “ roman- tic’ style, she could set competition at defiance, and she executed with a force and brilliancy peculiarly her own, the fantasia in one of the most shor and striking morceaux of “ Lucia di Lammermoor.” This remarkable cianiey of executive force was re- ceived with enthusiastic applause, and the fair ex- ecutant was recalled with frantic plaudits. Mdlle. Gabrielle Delamotte leaves in a few weeks for Am- erica. The London Herald of the 12th inst., says:--The professional friends of M. Jullien having united to- gether to present that gentleman with some token of their respect previous to his departure for America, gave a concert last night at Drury lane theatre, over | which the maestro himself presided. The house was erowded, and the reception that he met with when he took his accustomed place in the orchestra proved that the public, no less than the profe: entertain the warmest feelings of regard tor onewho has been a frequent and active minister to their plea- | sures. The fittings provided for the bal masque this evening were used upon the occasion, and the or- chestra, whigh spreads its huge length asross the back of the stage upon those popular festivals, was bronght into requisition now. The instrumentalists mustered in great force—few orchestral players of any eminence being absent. The programme was ot a more varied character than that usually constructed for a promenade concert. The music to Meyerbeer’s ‘ Struensee,” Jegro ond stcim movement ven's ‘“Pastorate,” the “ British Army” rille, and the overture to “‘ Oberon” were the princi- pal compositions in which the orchestra was con- cerned. The directors of the Royal Italian Opera, joining in the co desire to serve Jullien, per- mitted Tamberlik, Formes, and Madame Castellan to sing, and the “11 mio Tesoro” of the first men- tioned artist, the ‘‘Va sbramando” of the second, and the “O luce di quest’ anima” of the third, pro- yoked not only ‘icanes of applause, but in two of the cases vociferous eucores. Madame Doria also sang, and Herr Reichart played his ‘‘ Carnaval” vari- ations, on the flute,as only he could play thenr. Later in the evening Mr, Sims Reeves was announced to sing; likewise Miss Birch and Miss Dolby. The concert during the time we were present went off with every symptom of satisfaction, and the crowded state of the house intimated the agrecable fact that | the pecuniary resulta were likely to be considerable, the more so as the ordina’ increased one hundred and fifty per cent. The Berlin opera house will be re-opened at the end of the present month.

Pauw and Puget Sound Raliread >.ng Expeditien, [Fram he hr Pout Demoorat } + Camp Near Licnrnino Lane, June 21, 1853. , The expedition, under command ef Major Stevens, Jeft Camp Davis, on the banks of the river, two miles west of the Mississippi river, on the 14th inst., and are encam;ed on the southeast shore of this lake, about one hundred and fifty miles from our starting place at Camp Pierce, and will start forward to-morrow, following the Red river trail to the north of White Bear I:ke. at which point it is a subject of Governor Stevens’s consideration whether he will not abandon it, and follow the general direction of Dead Cult biltock, and cross the Bois de Sioax north of Lake Traverse. The advance party under jet. Grover, and the engineers, are some twenty- ahead, and will be joined to-day by Goy, Stevens. Considering the heaviness of the read, the impedi- ments created by marshes and river crossings, swol- Jen and made heavy by the abundance of rains, the expedition bas made very fine progress. The heavi- est part of the road—the twenty miles from Lake | Henry to this camp—was made by the whole trait between 44 A.M. and 5 P M., the animals all coming He in fine order, apparently as fresh as when start- ing. ‘The transportation was effected by large wagons, drawn by four mules each, with an prstage load of fifteen hundred; Pembina carts, two of which were drawn by mules, and six by single oxen harnessed, with an average load of -ixor seven hundred; and @ large ox team drawing fifteen hundred. in Friday, the crossing of the Sauk was effected by means of two India rubber boats, a birch canoe, and a raft, rather larger than the body of a wagon, and constructed of rough timber. The voyagers and several of the teamsters were in the water several hours, and worked, as did the whole command, naney and faithrully. ‘Yue largest India robber is twelve feet lorg and ‘about feur feet wide, and the other ten feet long and about three and a half feet wide, and each wil' readily carry over a thousand weight. A rope was attached to trees on both sides of the river, anda mule hobble was used to it through, and one man was thus easily enabled ta ferry the boats across. The whole train went over and encamped on the shores of a ke near the Red river trail, on the west side of the Sauk. ‘any bad places occur between Sauk river and Lake Henry, but the march, over twenty miles, waa made by thg detached parties in one , and on Saturday the detached party under Dr. Buckle ar rived in this camp, when the animals came in, look. ing finely, rested over Sunday, and are yet here with the main train. Taking into consideration that the mules are and unbroken, and doing buttle each day, loads are daily diminishing as the see are con- sumed, the fact that this heavy road has been rapidly gone over, proves the good organization of the Ai and the energy and spirit of the commander. Strict care is evjoived on all the men not to over- work their animals; and the sores produced by gall- ing, and the flies aud mosquitoes, which have been found so numerous, have been properly looked after. Gov. Stevens is now considering the propriety of abandoning the Red river trail north of White Bear lake, of pursuing the general direction of Dead Colt hillock, as before stated, and crossing the Bois de Sioux about twenty miles from this point. It ia hoped that this crossing will be effected early next week by the whole train, whea these marshes and bogs occur less frequently. From present appear- ances, the expedition will reach Fort Union by the fifteenth or twentieth of July.

They claim that their machine played through 500 feet of hose, when only 450 was required, and that the Gaspee played through only S75 feet. We do not believe the Gaspee Company would take ao dishonorable an advantaze, and if the Southwark Company put on 50 fect more than the judges ag tbe the fanlt was all theirown. Their playing the next day certainly indicated that their machine was capable of doiug much better than it did on the previous occasion, and it may have beaten the playing of the Gaspee, though the stream was not thrown ‘over the cap, as the New York papers claim.
