New Route Patmore the Atlantic and ae! re NAPOLEON'S TRANSIT TI IN NICARAGUA. {From the London Times (City Article), May 14.) The advices from Nicaragua to-day by the West India mail give some particulars of the progress of the explora- tion just commenced by Captain edford Pim, R. N., with the view to establish a railway and steam transit from the Atlanti¢ to tho Pacific. Captain Pim arrived at Grey- town from England on the 9th of April, and-started on the 11th for Biucfletds, accompanied by two civil engi- ‘Deers whom he had brought with him, where he obtained & large force of Indians and Creoles to cut a path through the woods. Returning with these men to Gorgon Bay, which he contemplates as the starting point of the Mine, he built @ house as a general rendezvous, and stored {t with provisions, under a ma chief. From Gorgon Bay he took his party about elght miles south to the Rama river, with the idea that its courso might pass somewhere near his propose! route, and thus enable bim to start two parties from about the centre of his line, and go cut east and west at the same time, Captain Pim was right in this conjecture. He explored and made a survey of the river, and Ianded on the left bank about twenty miles from the set, whenco he started off two parties—one cutting through the forest ersterly towards ‘tho Atlantic; the other westerly towards the Jake of Nica » Each party cousisted of fourteen mes, headed by a civil engi- neer. They commenced work on the 16th, and when Captain l’im left on the morning of that day, each party had cut about a mile through the bush, with every pros. pect of running a line of levels right across by the end of the month. The stdrting station, nearly midway, was Ky Tne hundred and twenty-seven feet above the level of the soa, and not a hiliot any sort could be seen, It was considered, therefore, that thore is every chance that the route will afford easy gradients from end to end. the diffe.

THE DABOLL FOG TRUMPET. In the House of Commons on the 14th of May Mr. Daw- son ‘asked the President of the Board of Trate whether any dotailed report haa beon made to his department of the loss of the Anglo-Saxon steamship, trom Lonaonderry to Quebec, on the 27th April, and whether the circum: stances of that lamentabic event were correctly stated in ‘the public pregs, also, whether the government had ever refused permission for the use of Daboll's fog trumpet upon ape Race in Newfoundland; and if so, what were the grounds for such refusal. He said that having seen soveral shipwrecks on the coast of Newfoundiand, he was anxious to know wh r any steps had been taken to eatablich a fog signal. Mr. M. Ginsow replied that no detailed statement or reporvof the wreck of the Anglo-Saxon bad as = been made to the Board of Trade, nor would any furtl par. ticulars be known until the arrival of the next mail. With regard to the second question, as to whether govern. ment had refused permission to erect Daboll’s fog trumpet on Cape Raco, he had to state that last year the Asso. ciated Press of Now ¥exk hud made a proposal to erect the trumpet, but it was not thought desirable by tho colonial goverament that @ foreign company should occupy @ site within British territory. The Board of Trade had, however, urged upon the si ip owners the necessity of orecting some adequate fog signal on 80 important 4 point as Cape Race, and had aleo called the attention of the whole shipping interest of the country to its import: ance. Government had the powor o! erecting fog signals and of imposing a toll for their support; but the steamship owners had said that although they should like to ha such a signal erected, they should not like to have to bear the expense; and the habit of the government was to waive the right and consult the wishes of the parties principally concerned, With regard to the particular fog Signal in question, it was not certuin that it was of a good description, and it was most important that if a signal were pot up ft should be of a kind that could be relied on. A bad one would only have the effect of tempting ships to g0 too near the Iand When it might not be possible to hear the s! i the reguit would be their going on shore. Very ly a steamship was lost at Lolyhead during a fog, although a gun was constantly fired as a signal from the'mountain. It was thought that a gun was the best fog signal, and it was a gun that the government thought of using. Mr. Dabotl’s invention was ufder consideration, and they-had asked for a report from the Cnited States Lighthouse Board respecting it. That Board had reported that it promised well, and was worth a trial; but did not go the length of saying that it had been sufficiently proved to be used on se important @ point as Cape Race.

Cracow, May 12, 1863. Intelligence received hero, as is believed on good au- thority, states that the Russian government bas no inten- tion of employing the increased severities mentioned by Getman papers as imminent after the 13th instant. On the contrary, so long as diplomatic negotiations for tho pacification of Poland continué,ihe government will do everything in its power to restrain the license of the sol diery. There is even a rumor of a prolongation of tho term appointed for (he insurgents to lay down mg arms. by the Russian government of different Polish provinoes, in which the inhabitants are required to state whethor they ‘re for or against the insurrection. It is considered doubtful whother this peculiar method of taking the sense ‘of the country will be aitended with success, The same journal contradicts the statement that Jenio- ki was forced to retreat to Austrian territory upon the 8th of May.

I answer. I make no calculation at alt ‘at that point. My only duty has been, from the first, the iting down of this rebellion. And benoe some old abo- ‘itionists, perbaps, would. ask me, ‘Do you go for putting a ibis rel at all possible hazards, that slavery may survive and be stronger than ever?’ Think I would.

And now let me here say, that in my philosophy the petting down of crime cannot brivg apy horm to any good, can not bring any help to any evil.
