The Panama Railroad Company, through their
fig*-, J at Bogota, are endeavoring to get the decree
ot Gov. Justo Ariisemena, declaring the railroad to
have been rfi mpleied on the 30th January, 1855,
annulled. I lie Attorney General, however, advises
against the revocation. According to its charter,
tin: Government i t New Granada can buy the rail
road at t 1.0 cpdoi twenty years after it was opened,
lor $5,000,( tin. As 1 the road, in a complete .date,
will stand the company something like nine mil
lions, of course it i- important to them to gain as
much lime as possible on their charter. By it they
were all years within which to complete
the they can get the whole time ac
i orded, they gain three yeais and eight months.—
The company say that they have a mil
lion of dollars on tin- road since it was declared
opened, $200,000 of which is for changing the
wooden bridge over the Chagrcs river for an iron'
one; that they are laying down iron bridges over
all the streams on the whole route ; that they have
freight and passenger dejxits yet to build, that the
road is yet to be brought into the city of Panama,
und lastly tliat flic official examination of the road
by the agents of New Granada, which is eonfem
plated by the charter, before it has been declared
open, has pot been made. The G ivernment con
tends that the road was finished when the trains
first commenced to pass regularly over the whole
route with freight and passengers, wbich they have
continued to do since January, 1855. -The charter
requires that the company should notify the Gov
ernment of the fact when the road should be com
pleted, tliat the official examination might follow,
and t at they did nut do so, when it was-notori .us
that the road was finished, is no fault of the Go
vernment. There certainly is room for argument
on both sides.
Our news from Rivas will probably be by the
British steamer of to-morrow, via Greytown and
Colon.
Since the foregoing letter was written, the news
from Washington seems to indicate that the Ad -
ministration of Mr. Buchanan is determined to as
serf the rights of her citizens abmaii by enforcing
the settlement of the Panama business. The inti
mation, however, of further negotiations in the
Washington despatch, is a little discouraging. Our
opinion is here that negotiations v.ould be much
more effective to a fair settlement, had we 3,(KM)
met in occupation of the Transit route.

The Times of May 1 give's the following intcrest
ihg facts in connection with the death of the Duchess
of Gloucester;
Die Just, oftlie children of George 111 has depar
ti d this life. Her royal highness Mary, Duchess of
Gloucester, expired yesterday morning at the age
of 81. She was born on the 25th of April, 1776, aud
consequently had long passed the ordinary 'limit of
human life. It is impossible not to feel that the ex
tinction by th< death of this royal lady of a family
placed in so eminent a station isa noteworthy event,
there were thirteen children born from the mar
riage George 111. with Queen Char otte. The sons
w ore—George, Prince of Wales, afterward George
1'.,; Frederick, Duke of York; William, Duke of
Clarence, afterward William IV.; Edward Duke
of Kent; Ernest, Duke of Cumberland,afterwerd
King of Hanover; Augustus, Duk-of Sussex; and
Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge. Os the six daugh
ters three died unmarried, and three were married.
The names in the order of the birth Bland thus :
The Princess Royal, Charlotte Augusta, who was
married to the King of Wurtemberg; the Princess
Augusta, who died unmarried; the Pi incess - Eliza
beth, who v as married tothe Prince of llesse Ilom
burg; the Princess Mary, the lady just dead, who
was married to her cousin, the Duke of Gloucester;
and finally the Princess Sophia and Amelia, both of
whom died unmarried. With so copious a race
there was little danger of a disputed succession or
of a vacant throne. It is singular, however, how
few in number are the representatives of this nu
merous family i i the present generation.
Queen Victoria, the King of Hanover, and the
three children of the late Duke of Cambridge are,
n e beiieve, now the only survivors, and the Princess
Charlotte, daughter of George IV. is the only one
who has passed away. There is, however, happily
but little chance that the Royal Family of England
wifi be speedily exhausted. But a few days before
t he venerable Duchess of Gloucester was summoned
trom thw world a ninth child was born to the Queen
ot Eng.and, po that orderly succession to th British
throne would appear to be among the events on
w iich one may calculate with reasonable certainty.
It is but just th»t we should add a few words as a
! r „° f P« c *(tothe memory of the late Duchess
of Gnmcestei. Her Royal Highness was never
called upon to play a y prominent part on the pub
lic scene, but her private life was marked by every
womanly virtue, and by the projuse exercise of un
ostentatious charity. She was a distinguished orna
ment of the high society in which she had so long
moved, and her loss will be most deeply regretted
by those who knew her best.
Great preparations are being made for the Man
chester exhibition of Art Treasures. Prince Albert
has consented to be present at the opening
France. —The visit of the Grand Duke Constan
tine was the principal topic in France. He arrived
at Paris on the afternoon of the 30th, and was re
ceived with imposing ceremony. The Paris corres
pondent ol the London Times thus describes the
t'lti-y aud resinarki* that had the visit been post-

W m .®y kt’erof Tuesday, and
ral of the UoiLl’a aFona theß if de Y iation ' Sea
ted with flags hr
mingled. From lRn °° lorß ”»re
lares leading to the Lyori
crowded with the eurions. who were anxious to'
wUch a sight of a teal Russian Prince, particularly
of one to whom popularly report attributed the
sterner features o f his family. The Grand Duke
sat in an open carriage, drawn by four horses, with
Prince Napoleon on his left. Both were in uniform
the Grand Duke las an Admiral with a blue riband
and star. Prince Napoleon wore the dress of a
General of D vision,and displayed the grand riband
and star of the Legion of Honor.
The carriage iq which they were seated passed
along at a walking pace, so that a good view was
bad of Duke by the people, who thronged the foot
ways and the bajlcouies of the houses. The day
iWas rather cold, but otherwise fine, and the two
Princes were enveloped in cloaks, which were
thrown back at the shoulders. There was no cheer
ing on the Boulevards, but the spectators in the
streets saluted by taking off their hats as the car
riage passed, and the Grand Duke acknowledged
the salute by touching his cocked hat with his open
hand. Indeed, he ceased hardly for a moment re
turning the salute. The carnage in which the
Princes rode was preceded by a detachment of
guides,and office's belonging to the imperial house
hold rude on both sides.
Another carriage followed, with the functionaries
who received him at the railroad station ; in a
third we e deposited the ponderous person of .Mar
shal Magnau and the more slim forms of his aides
de-camp; and a fourth conveyed the Uussiau <*ffi- -
cers of the Grand Duke. The rear was brought up
by a squadron of guides. It was perhaps owing to
the coldness of the day that neither the Grand
Duke nor the Prince wore an expression of much
animation. The Russian Prince is rather am Id
looking young man. He is of fair complexion, with
small light whiskers, and a thin fair moustache.—
The Princes proceeded to the Tuileries by the Rue
Royale at the same slow pace. Prince Napoleon
received the Duke at the railway station, but did
not, as I stated he would not, go to Toulon to meet
him.
The same correspondent has also the following :
I heard two or three days ago that the Presse
would, on the vej-y day of the Grand Duke’s entry,
contain an article on the English alliance, and that
this article would be, if not.written, at all events in
spired, by a personage of exalted rank, whose
dislike of all that is Russian is very strong. The
article has appeared in the Presse of this evening,
and the paper began to be sold at the very moment
the Grand Duke was passing. It begins with this
phrase :
“The alliance of England and France Ls one •f
the fundamental basis of European civilization.
The day it is serioualy disturbed the same blow
will disturb the entire edifice. We must, then,
take care to lay a hand on that corner-stone, for its
fall would be alike fatal to both countries. The
community of their interests .is evident, and it is the
blind only who wilt not recognize it. Whoever
sees and understands must not allow bis eyes or his
thoughts to be diverted from this great object by
petty obstacles ”j
Tiiis is the concluding passage :
“Democratic Frmce is the ally of free England.
We recognize in this alliance the great political ne
cessity of the 19th century, and we hail it as the
pledge and the security of the future."
The Times gives the following report of amecting
of the shareholders of the Credit Mobilier, held at
Paris on the 28lh of April:
The meeting being declared duly constituted, the
C resident rose and read the report. It commenced
y declaring that :
"The difficulties experienced in the money
market dnring the past year had naturally restricted
' to a considerable degree, the operations of the
company. During the year 1853, 1801, and 1855, its
duty had been, in the midst of war and scarcity of
food, to encourage the industrial development of
the country ; but iu 1856, owing to the immense
impulse given to all kindsof enterprise, whenpeaee
set in its ta“k was rather to restrain than to urge
forward Besides, the note-inserted in the Moniteur
on the 9th of March, 185 b, showed that the wish of
the Government was to limit in a very decided
manner the issue of all new securities.
“ Still the company had very materially aided in
forwarding useful works, and in euabling the coun
try to support thp monetary crisis which broke out
toward the end of 1866. It subscribed for 250,000,-
00« f. (10,000,0004) to the Government Loan of 750,-
0(K),000f.; the purchases of Rente made by it to
support the puolic funds amounted to 1,859,8164,
1 representing a capital of 40,000,0004 (1,600,000/.)
the greater ]>ortion of which stock the company was
still possessed of; the sums which it had supplied to
the market at each settlement of the account, to fa
cilitate the carrying over of Rente, might be judged
of by tiie fact that on one occasion they amounted
to 9a.000.000f. (3,800,000/.), and that the average
was 41,000,000 f. (1,760,000/.); in addition, it gave
similar accommodation to railway securities, on one
occasion to the extent of 20,000,000 f. (1,160,000/.),
the average being 15,000,000 f. (600,000/.) for every
fortnight; in fact, the totfil of all such sums furnish
ed in 1856 was not less than 703,000,000 f. (28,120,-
000/.), and when at last the restrictive measures of
the Banks of England and France led to a crisis in
the money market, the efforts of the Credit Mobi
Her tended not a little to facilitate the transition to
ward easier times.
“ W hen the moment of difficulty arrived (says
the report) the Credit Mobiher not only did not di
minish the credits which it was accustomed to
make to railway enterprises, but even augmented
them; nay, more it offered officially two things -
Ist to purchase, with the co-operation of several
foreign bouses, the Rente which the Bank of France
possessed, so as to furnish that establishment with
the means of efficaciously augmenting its metallic
reserve, and of continuing its advances on Rente
and railway shares; and, 2d, to provide for'the
wants of all the railway companies by subscribing
to the extent of 3)00,000, 000 francs (12,000,000/.) for
tbe loans which they had to issue in 1857, the Credit
Mobilier and its dire, tors declaring that they were
ready to engage themselves personally for that pur
pose to the amount of 200,000 0004 if the remainder
of 100,000,000 f. was subscribed for by the other
banking houses.
"These two propositions remained without result
and the Credit Mobilier being forced to renounce
every combined measure, was obliged to confine it
self to providing for tbe wants of the companies
whose business it was in the habit of transacting;
but it had formed a correct judgment of the situa
tion, and the sole fact of its having made the propo
sition alluded to contributed in no small degree to
calm down disquietude, to strengthen public feel
ing, and to demonstrate that unfounded terror had
been too easily given wav to. Tbe crisis, although
coujured away, had not less the effect of reducing
in a very striking manner the profits on which the
company thought itself entitled to reckon, in conse
quence of the simple amelioration of credit."
The report then touches on the several enterpri
ses which the company had aimed at carrying out
on its own account, and states thal of its railway
projects that of Grenoble to St. Rambert, toward
Lyons and Valence, had been sanctioned by Impe
rial decree in March, 1857. The transatlantic pack
ets still remained tiudecided, but there was every
rei son to believe that the question would be before
long settled in a manner to satisfy all the interests
involved in it; and the company had estadlislicd a
regular intercourse with the Credit Mobilier of Spain
and would take partin the construction of the Span
ish railways.
The repart then speaks of the insufficiency of thp
capital of the Bank of France for the vastly increas
ed business of the conntry, and then examines the
question of how its capital could best be doubled in
order to meet its enlarged sphere of action, and de
clares that when the proper time arrives it will give
the preference to bonds at short date. The report
then touches on the financial situation of the com
pany. Its transactions iu cash during the year had
amounted to 3.085,11)5,176f. (£ 123,407,807); its ac
count current with the bank to 1,216,686,2714 (£ 18,-
667,451); the company had received payments on
1,455,264 railway shares and bouds, producing 160-
976,5004 (£6,439,061;) and had paid either for itself
or t for other companies on 4,986,304 coupons of shares
and bonds. The total of the profits of the year was
15,249,9814 (£609,999), which would give a divi
-1856 ° f * l>f ’ PCr Bliare ’ or 23 l ,er cent, for the year
The meeting gave its approval to the report, and
adopted the dividend proposed, and the proceedings
then terminated.
Austria.— The Hungarian superintendents had
presented addres -es to the Emperor on his visit.
The Protestants presented also a petition praying
to be allowed to manage their schools as they were
formerly permitted to do. Tbe Emperor replied
that he would carefully examine into the matter,
and comply with their wishes as far as he could. It
is not expected, however, that tbe “prayer of the
petition” will be granted.
Thk Nxufchatkl QuESTio«.--The difficulty be
tween Switzerland aud Prussia is considered as
settled. The Federal Council after heariug the ex
planations of Dr. Kern, by a unanimous vote re
solved to accept the conditions and submit them for
acceptance to the canton of Neufchalel. The King
of Prussia is to receive a million of francs, and to
have the proper ndministrat on of the charitable in
stitutions of the canton guaranteed to him. The
retention by the King of the title of Prince of Neuf
cbatel is not mentioned in the condition of settle
ment.
A telegraphic despatch from Berne, dated 30th
April, adds: »
The Federal Council has decreed the immediate
publication of tbe treaty, as also of an annexed pro
tocol, adding to it the teuoi of the original demands
of Prussia and the first instructions given to Dr.
Kern.
The following is given by a correspondent of the
1 imea as the precise conditions of th- treaty :
ihe document is drawn up in the form of a trea
ty between Prussia and Bwftzerl uid. under tbe ex
press guarantee of Austria, England, France and
xiiiasia, and the objeetof it is to prevent a difctur
the peace of Europe.

Neufchatol is recognized aa a sovereign and inde
pendent SUte : : t will continue to enjoy the same
rights and guarantees as any other sovereign State 1
of the Swiss Confederation, as was stipulated in the
iaf* at,on at Vienna on the 2l)th of March
lolw, *
Tki* article, therefore, confirms tbe full indepen-
dence of the Canton of Neufchatel, and its right of
Constitution.
Tbs 3d Article is thus conceived:—“The Con
federation will pay to the King of Prussia the sum
of I,ooft .OOOf”
Nothing is said about why this rim is paid ; and
it is Wtfthy <>| obseivation that tbe word indemnity i
is md mentioned, probably purpT-ely, in the treaty, i
Tbs other articles may be summed up a:* follows: |
The Confederation will proclaim a general amnesty
for all political and 11 ilit ary offences, and offences <>f
the press relating to the events of September if,
1856. This amnesty will comprise all militiam ii, as
well as natives of the canton ns foreigners, who l ft
the country to elude joining the last Federal call to
arms. No prosecution can be commenced in the
civil or criminal courts against persons for t> ii;g
implicated in the events of September. The Con
federation itself will provide for tbe expenses caused
by the recent events, and the State of Neufchatel
will only have to pay its proportional share of the
money C' ntiugent. No special tax is to be imposed
upen any class of individuals for this purpose. The
church pr- perty, which in 1845, was incorporated
with The fortune of the State, cannot be employed
for any other object, and tbe revenues are to be ap
plied to those particular objects. The tunds of
charitable institutions, .arising from private dona
tions, such as those of lfarou do Fury aud the Four
tales Hospital, canuot be employed for other pur
- poses, and shall continue to be employed henceforth
according to the intentions of the donors.
Spain.— The Paris Debuts publishes the follow
ing as a synopsis of the speech of the Queen ol
Spain, to l>e delivered at the opening of the Cortes
on the Ist of May :
It will announce the re-establi-hm- nt of a good
understanding between Spain and Rome, and re
newal of friendly relations with the Cnuit of Hus
*ia. The hope id expressed that the difference v ith
Mexico will be nmic 1 ly settled ; but not unless the
honor of Spain id satisfied and the Interest of Span
iards i Mexic • guaranteed in future, and indemni
ty paid to those who have suffer- d. Should the
conditions not be granted, Spain, despite iier sin
cere wish for peace, will not hesitate to have re
course to coercive measures.
The Queen calls the attention of the (bites to the
1 internal condition of the country. Peace and 01-
1 der prevail everywhere. A veil of oblivion is to be
, thrown over the past.
The difficulties caused iy the high price of proi i
-1 sions have been bappilv overcome byaserit sui weh
combined measures. The loan is especially men
s tionedas having enabled the Government to net
without complying with the enormous ex;-- ! ii ns of
■ Spanish capitalists. The conditions of the loan
, have been faithfully fulfilled
1 The Queen will recommend a series of political
1 and financial re for s; a bill for the reform of the
1 organization of the Senate will be brought forward
■ very early in the session, as also a bill for reforming
1 the regulations of the two Chambers. The S -nate,
as now constituted, consists exclusively of mem
hers appointed by the Queen for lie. It is pro
posed to in'reduce into this great body a certain
number of i reditary Senators, select 1;1 from the
Grandees of Spain and possessors of la r ge teiri
- torial fortunes.
Finally, the speech from the throne will give some
explanations on the bills that will be ( resented by
the Government for the regulation of the finances,
with a view to establish the fiuu cial system upon
the principles of economical science and the wisdom
of experience.

China and India. — Advices had been received,
by overland mail, from Hong Rung to the 15ih 'of
March; Calcutta to the 23d of March, ami Bom
bay to the 3d of April. The particulars we sub-j
join :
. Ron., Kono. Mar.-h 15.
Sir Mit hael Seymour came down here on the 13thj
in II er Majesty’s steamer Hornet.
No occurrence of importance has taken place on!
- the river. Tbe Chinese fired rockets into the Tee
totum Fort at long range without effect, and ii
could not be ascertained what damage their boats
suffered from the shot returned by the fort.
This place remains quiet. The rumor's of proxi
mate dangers still continue prevalent.
We have to report anoth r tata.ri rophe on board
one of the passenger steamers, anil the neglige; cu
that prevailed regarding the management ol the
steamer cannot be too highly reprehended, particu
larly after the warning in the case of the Thistle.—
The Queen left this lor Macao at about It) V. M.,ou
the 15th ult., the people on board, aa far as we can
learn, besides the captain, the engineer, aud two
sailors iif the vessel, were passengers - two Euro
peans, some Portuguese and Chinese worn u and
about 10 first class and 20 second class ('litnesc.
There were no restriction put on the first-class
Chinese. When Lear Macao these men got posses
sion of the chest with anna whi e the captain and
others were at dinner, • ud tiio first intimation that
anything was wrong was a volley being tired into
the cabin. One of the passengers, Mr. O Cleverly,
made a good but ineffectual resistance, and with a
revolver wounded s veral of the Chinese. The cap
tain was wounded and jumped overboard, as also
didjthe engineer and a European passenger , these
have not since been heard of. Mr. Cleverly had his
thigh fractured by a bail, but got overboard, and,
after L-eing seme time in the water, succeeded in
reaching a lorcba, and was taken to Macao. The
wound, it is hoped, will not prove so serious as was
at first feared. The other passengers were taken up
the river in the Queen, and most of them have
since arrived iu Macao. They report the steamer
to have been burnt. She had a valuable cargo on
board at the time of the capture.
The attack was conducted by Mandarin so'diers
and p rates, who were on board for the purpose.—
The Queen was under Portuguese colors, and we
understand the Governor of Macao has sent n rep
resent at imi to Yell regarding the affair, but w
have not heard whether he has yet received an an
swer.
When it was discovered that the vessel was not
under the Britsh flag, there was a reluctance in im
parting the matter to Yell. Wo understand 110 de
clined having anything to do with the vessel.
After this occurence it was discovered that the:
guns on board some of the other steamers had 1- eu
renderd unless by spiking or otherwise, showing
how extended the scheme was for perpetrating such
atrocities.
The Hon. Company’s steamer Aoukland aud j
small chartered steamer Eaglet went out to cruise 1
on the 14th ultimo. On the Kith, at To.mg (’bung,
they fell in with four heavily armed Mandating
boats. The Auckland could not go into the bay I
where they were, but the Eaglet and the boats I
from the Auckland went in and destroyed the!
junks. A battery on the shore, mounting 16 guns, !
was captured and the guns spiked. The casualties I
on our side consisted of one killed and four wounded 1
of the Auckland’s men.
Her Majesty’s steamer Niger was sent out on the |
16th, and 111 company with the Auckland and boats j
from Her Majesty’s ship Calcutta, captured seven
piratical junk*
„ Another tragedy has occurred on board :■ -hip {«
king coolies from Swartow to llavannah. The Gul
nare, British ship, left Swartow on the 1 Ith, and
next day there was an attempt made by the coolies
to take the vessel. They were tired upon, and after
about 16 of their übmber were killed or wounded the
disturbance was got under. The vessel came in here
puthe 14th inst. and ail investigation into the
matter is going on. His Imperial Majesty's steamer
C'atinat, inconsequence of the disaster to the French
ship Anais, which vessel, we mentioned last month,
Was taken by the Coolies on board went up to Swar
tow, whence the Coolies were shipped, and demand
was made on the authorities for the sum of S6OOO
aud notice given that if not paid the town would be’
bombarded. At an interview we undrestaml the
Mandarins were polite, but declined payirg the
demand. The amount was subsequently made up
by parties interested in the Coolie trade.
By last mail M, Bourbillon, the French Minister,
arrived, and proceeded to Macao on the 27th ult.? in
His Imperial Majesty’s ship Capricieuse. General
Nozagaray, the new Governor General of Manilla,

passengers by the Norna. They left for Manilla on
the 28th ult., by the Spanish steamer Mugalhaena.
The Sampson has returned from Amov, Her Ma
jesty’s brig Camilla having been sent up there to
relieve her. The United States" steamer San Ja
cinto left for the Prates Shoal on the 10th inst., to

that was wrecked there on the 7th inst.
On the night of the 6th inst., the bakery lately
belonging to E king or Alltim was burnt by incen
diaries. The present owner ha-1 a large contract for

From the Liverpool Time* of May 2.
Collision in the Channel.—We regret to re
port the foundering by collision of the fine American
ship Andrew Foste , Capt. Williams (late mate of
the Flitted States mail steamship Ericsson,) from
New York for this port.
The Andrew' Foster sailed from York on the Ist
of April, and had ou board one lady passenger, Miss
Quin, and, with the captain and crew, the oomple
| iiu tit numbering 38 persons. The voyage was pro
strated without any particular incident until tho
vessel arrived in ttie Channel, and when between
Tuskar and Holyhead, at midnight on Tuesday last,
the 28th ult.,ehe was struck on the lufFor the bow
(being on the starboard tuck) by the ship Tuscarorn,
from Liverpool for Philadelphia.
Capt. Williams, tearing that the Udury to his ves
sel might prove serious, hailed the Tuscarorn, and
asked i.erto lay by him some time , but instead of
doing so, she proceeded on her voyage without ta
! king any noli-e, and it is presumed she escaped
1 without injury, immediately after the collision the
pumps ot the Audiew Foster were manned, aud it
was found that the water was rushing in in such
quantities that there was uo hope of saving tho yea
re!, ur.d accordingly the boats were lowered, and
those on board abandoned the ship. Shortly after
leaving the vessel, bhe sunk in deep water. The
boats, after being about three quarters of an hour
i on the wate , were picked up by the schooner Little
! Fred, of Plynjouth, from Rid Grande for Liverpool,
j oil' which vessel they were taken yesterday morn
! mg when about It) miles West of Holyhead, by the
| 'tt am tug Sea King, and landed here.
The Andrew Fester has been a regular trader be
tween th : port and New York, and at the time of
her foundering she had pn board a large eargoof
wheat cotton, bacon, Ate It is stated that the ship
and cargo are insured at New York. She was an
American built vessel, of 1100 tons register and 2000
tons burthen, and belonged to Tapscott's line of Ame
! rican packets from this port.
We are indebted for the above particulars to Mr.
•John Mooney, one of the oflieeis of the Andrew
Foster (who lauded last evening from the S* a King,)
and who states that at the time of the collision the
weather was mild, and the atmosphere compara
tively clear, which in a great degree accounts for the
s ifety of those on board, as, had the winds beeu
high, the boats could scarcely have stood through a
gale. Mr. Mooney also speaks in high terms of the
! treatment they received on board the Little Fred,
and of the kindnessaud attention of the captain and
officers of that vessel.

The Main Thunk to uk Built.—Our readers
here and else where will be gratified to learn that
| the action ol the Stockholders of the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad, at a meeting assembled in Bruna
| wick dur ng the past week, renders it almost certaiu
that the Main Trunk will be built. We arc inform
ed that they instructed the Directory of the Bruna
j wsck and Fluiida Railroad Company to make such
j! a proposition to the Directory of the Main Trunk,
| as would ensure a speedy eetUemeut of the differ
| ences between the rivaliuteiests.
In < ■lapiiance with these instructions, a nropo
j sition was made to tlie effect that the initial point
i of the Main Trunk should be located at or near
i the line of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad,
j oast of Big Creek, in order to secure the State
! j subscription, At a meeting of those of the Main
] Trunk Directors residing in this place, on yester-
I day, n resolution was pas ed by them, recom
i mending to their Board the acceptance of the con
! ditions as passed by the Brunswick and Florida
Railroad Directory. Nothing now remains to be
done but to secure the required release from the
Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company, and to
arrange the details of the settlement, which it is
thought w ill be surely and speedily effected.
We congratulate all those who were instrumental
1 I in bringing about this much desired settlement—the
w hole a untry upon the prospect of reaping the
magnificent rewards which the completion of this
great enterprise promises iu the future, and our co
temporarics of the News and Republican that the
