Riiuvus IN R.UB8lA.—-A. scheme for a system of railroads establishing direct com- munication between the Baltic, Black and Caspian sons has been submitted to the Emperoi-of Russia, and will probably be adopted and s eedily put in execution. Those roads wil together be about 1730 miles in length, and will aid immensely in developing the resources and trade of the empire.‘ Phe centre from wliiclithese new lines are to diverge is proposed to be fixed in the agricultural district of European Russia, a tract of country abuunding "1 coal fields and salt mines, and of great agricultural capabilities. From some cen- tral point in this district, probably Tula 0!‘

.Orel, four lines are projected—o:‘° North to Mo.~‘c(i‘.v, another South to the Black Sea, touching the Dneiper, with It branch to the coal mines nftlie Don, is third East to the Volga, with a branch connecting the Volga and the Don, and a fourth \Vest_ to the Dunalie;-g, connecting with the Riga and Dun-ilmrg line.

Gen. VValker received an overwhelming majority for President, and was inaugura- ed on the l‘2th ult., with imposing cere- monies.

Don Firmin Ferrer, the provisional President, delivered an address, resigning the reins of oliice, and administered the otlicial oath to Gen. VVallter in the pres- ence of an immense and enthusiastic as- sent age.

Gen Walker delivered an Inaugural Ad- dress, in which the programme of his ad- ministration of the foreign and domestic concerns of the Republic was brieﬂy yet pointedly laid down. _

The country was tolerably quiet.

Ravia held possession of. Leon, and a party of Chamoeristas were in the vicinity ofChoutales. _ _ _

As soon as the rainy season is over, it is expected the allied forces of ‘the Northern Central American States will commence hostile operations. and Gen. Walker is sadly in need of the sinews of war to repel the invaders.

NOVEL SPEcUl.A'l‘l0N .—-Among the many joint stock speculations which have been submitted to the public of late years, there is none so remarkable, whether in the nov- elty or grandeur of the enterprise, as that contained in a pamphlet recently published in Brussels, London and Leipsic, entitled “ La Conquete de la Chine,” (the Con- quest of China) from_ the pcn_,_as repre- sented, of an “ eminent politician and journalist. ” The object of the _scheme_ is the conquest ofthe Chinese Empire, which the anonymous author proposes to achieve by means ofa joint stock company with acapital of300 millions francs, and an army of 25,000 men. _ _

The “ eminent politician and journalist ” readily disposes of any objection which may be raised against the le ality or mor- ality of the enterprise by sayin , that ifthe “initiative is not taken by the uropeans, a Lopez or n Walker will soon be found t i carr the plan into effect ; ” and as regards the w of nations, he says’ “ laws only exist for those who respect and observe them themselves, not for a b_lood~thirsty cor- rupt government which punishes everything like progress as acrime. ﬁnd “'_l“°h_ °“l.V maintains itself b a continual viplaticn of ‘H law."

Tues roa Rivt.-:ii Sr. _LAWlll|lCl.—- We had yesterday the privilege ofinspoct- ing two very fine veesels, built by Messrs. Robert Napier and Sons, and at present lying in their dock at Ltincefield. The

are tugs which were contracted for by r Baby of Quebec on the part of the provin- cial Government ofCanada, and are intend- ed to be used for towing vessels an aged in the Canadian trade from the Is and of Anticosti up to Qubec. 'As they are with- out exception, the finest vessels of their class ever built, a few particulars regard- ing them will not be uninteresting. They

are built of iron, the plates being much thicker than those used in the construction of the Edinburgh. Their

length of keel is 170 feet, breadth of beam 30 feel, and their depth 17} feet. They are each 730 tons burthen, and will be propelled by a screw, driven by a pair of oscillating engines of about 400 horse- power. We saw one pair of the engines, and were struck with their remarkable strength and solidity. A party experi- enced in engineering assured us, that bet- ter engines never lelt the Clyde. Both vessels are schooner-rigged, and fitted with four water-tight bulkheads. The chains and anchors are in accordance with the rules of the Admiralty. Cabins, coinniodious and highly finished, suﬁicient to accommodate upwards of a dozen pas- sengers, have been fitted up, and when completed, instead of resembling a tug such as our readers are in the habit of seeing on the Clyde, these vessels will in many respects outstrip some of our first- class ocean steamers. They are named the “Queen Victoria ”and “ Napoleon 111., ” and have been built under the the suporintendence of Captain Davison, a gentleman ofmuch experience. Ari soon as completed, the Victoria will proceed at once to Quebec, and will, we believe, take out fourteen cabin passengers, and about one hundred tons measurement of light goods, for which she has ample accomo- dation. She is expected to make the pas- sage in eleven days, and when her size and the immense power of her engines are con- sidered, this is not an over estimate. The Napoleon lll. goes to Hiivre direct, where she will take on board ﬁve lanterns for lighthouses on the Straits of Bellisle, and the Giilph of St. Lawrence. The Queen Victoria will he commanded by Caption VVilliam Davison, and the Napoleon lll.

NEWFOUNDLAND.-—-By the arrival of the R. M. Steamer Ospray, we have. St. John’s dates to the 23d July. A fearful gale took place on the 2d Jiily along the coast of Newfoundland. At Placeniia Bay, 10 boats, l schooner, and 9 cod seines are reported lost. About 30 boats with skiffs and cod seines were lost at Conception Bay, and a great destruction of property occurred at other places along the coast. A number cl lives were also lost.

A fire broke out in St. John’s on the evening of the 15th July, on the east side of Garrison Hill, which proved of a very destructive character before it was subdued.’ ‘About twenty houses were consumed.

After those gentlemen shall have concluded upon and published their re- port, we shall expect to see American ﬁshermen coming into our harbors with the same conﬁ- dence of a kind friendly reception that they would into their own; nor have we the least doubt that this familiar intercourse will be productive of mutual advantages. It is ever to the interest of a poor trader to have to deal with a rich customer,nnd ofe small colony such as the Island, to have a market like the whole Atlantic seaboard aboundin in wealthy cities and ﬁourishing towns and villages to resort to, and we trust to see the day, and that no fur- ther distant than the next session of the As- sembl ,when some of those ver ﬁshermen will be in uced to settle on our s ores by bein legally enabled to urchase tracts of Ian ot's small extent wit a frontage on the coasts or crooks that are over where to be met with. Small groups of men 0 this description scatte- red sround the Island would in the course of a few years, work a considerable change in the aspect of the coast. Fishing villages would soon be met with in every ﬁttin locality, nor would we have to complain of t e want of a eta le commodit for export in the shape of fish 0 all kinds an pre rod in different ways. Nor would this be a I; there are farmers in in large numbers near to the coasts, who from shear want of space are compelled to go into the interior in search of farms. much to their mortiﬁcation, for to men brought up within hearing of the noise of the waves of the ocean, nothing is more distressing than to have to reside in acountry at I istance from it. There is a fascination about the ass that is felt most, when we are, or are about to be deprived of the sight of it, and the pleasures, gratiﬁca- tions an comforts that a proximity to it nllords.
