First Mortgage Tlilrly-Tear COLD OBLIGATIONS OF TUB Central Tacilic Knilrottl Co , Sccnred bj an Absolute First Lien Upon the most Desirable Tortlou of the Great National Tacific It.lt. Line. Iifak Sir: This groat enterprise Is approach ing completion wltb a rapidity that astonishes tbeworid. Less than 400 miles remain to be built, to connect tbe Central Paclflo Railroid wltb "the Atlantic lines. Tbe greater part of the interval is now graded, and it is reasonably expected that the TI1UOUUH CONNECTION BETWEEN SAN FKANCI3CO AND NEW YORK WILL BE COMPLETED .JJY JULY KEXT. 'J he western portion of the Line, known as the CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD, besides having the largest settlement, tbe richest mines, the most valuable lands along its route, is also built and completed as a first-class Rail road in all respects, being constructed directly by the Company themselves, without tbe Inter ventlon of contractors, and in such a manner as to Insure future stability, economy of opera, tion, and the permanent value of the property. The report of the Special Commission of Experts, recently appointed by the President to examine the railroad and telegraph lines of the Central Paciflo Railroad Company, telegraphed to the Secretary of the Interior, Dec. 3, is full and speolflo, and concludes as follows! "Heavy trains of rails, ties, and fuel are run ning safely to the extreme end of tbe road, four hundred and forty-five (415) miles from Sacra mento. Toe road is belug constructed in good faith, in afiUbstantlal manner, without stint of labor, material, or equipment, and Is worthy of its character as a great national work." 1 y the aid oi the General .Government, and valuable grants from California sources, tbe Company have already met the bulk of their expenditures.snd have sufficient cash resources to enable thein to finish their work with the Utmost vigor. The iron, and a liberal equip ment for the five hundred miles now about completed, as well as tbe material needful for two hundred and fifty mllei additlo aal, are all bought, paid for, and at hand for use. The Bpeedy completion of their entire line, and its Success as a grand business enterprise, are no longer matters of hopeful promise, but are placed beyond all ordinary contingencies. The business of tbe road, although in its in fancy only.is without precedent. THE GROS3 EARNINGS FROM JULY 1 TO DEO. 1 WE HE UPWARD OF 81,400,000 IN GOLD, of WHICH ABOUT ONE MILLION WAS NET PROFIT. This result was from local commercial business enly, at a time wben the Company felt com pelled to employ their available equipment, to a large extent, in transporting the vast amount of supplies required to subsist twelve thousand men along a line of more than five hundred miles, and the material required for extending the track THREE HUNDRED M1LE3 during the period, to the temporary neglect of the enormous freighting business seeking transit Over the Road. At a lute date there were no less than seventy nine locomotives running on tbe road, eighty more on the way, and over twelve hundred cars, to which the Company are constantly making large additions, so that by the time the immense tide of THROUGH TRAVEL AND FREIGHT ACROSS THE AME1UCAN CON XINENT shall be ADDED TO THE NATURAL AND EXPANDING LOCAL BUSINESS, and the energies of the Company, with their im xnense facilities, can be devoted to the regular trafflo, THEIR, EARNINGS WILL BE ON AN UNEXAMPLED SCALE, and their Securities be ranked AMONG THE M03T POPULAR IN 'THE WOULD. Tbe current Interest Liabilities upon the Bonded Debt, upon an average of three hundred miles in operation during the above period were lees than S&O.eoo. The issue of tbe Company's FIRST MORT GAGE BONDS is limited by act of Congress and will not equal one-third the cost and value of the property upon which they constitute the first lien. The greater part of this loan is already marketed, and is held as a permanent Invest ment by tbe capitalists of this country and 'Europe. We are authorized to offer a portion of the remainder at 103 AND ACCRUED INTE REST IN CURRENCY. The Bonds are of $1000 each, bear six per cent. Interest per annum, payable in the City ot New York, IN UNITED STATES GOLD COIN. As the accrnod interest from July 1 is charged to the purobaser in currency, and the semi annual coupons maturing January 1 next will be paid in full, in gold, there is an advantage in purchasing during tbe present mouth equal to the premium on tbe back Interest. Tbe Company reserve tbe right to advance tbe price at any time, but all oruers actually in transitu at tbe time of any such advance will ba filled at present price. At this time they pay more than eight per cent, upon Ute investment, and have, from national and State laws, guarantees superior to any other corporate securities now offered. We receive all classes of Government bonds at tbelr full market rates, in exchange for tbe Central Paelllo Railroad Bonds, thus enabling the holders to realize from 5 to 10 PER CENT. PROFIT, and keep the principal of their Invest ments equally secure. Orders and inquiries will receive prompt at tention.

Tbe English papers have detailed accounts ol tbe receut disaster: Tbe exploblun took place beet ween 8 and 0 A. M.. November 20. in the Arley Mine of llludlev Green Colliery, near Wlgan, belonging to a limited liability association, called after the firm which formerly owned the pit, Messrs. John Beowcroit st uompany. rue liinmey Green Colliery is one of tbe oldest mines lu the neighborhood, but the particular section of the workings In which tbe explosion look place, ana to wnicn it was conuneu, has only been opened out some four or five years. Tbe down-cast shaft Is twelve feet In diameter, and three hundred yards deep. At tbe pit bottom tbere are workings extending in three or four directions through the seam of coal, which is a level one. and about four and a half feet in thickness. Nearly three huudred men and boys are employed in the mine. Of these, fifty-nine were in tbe working on the west side, where tbe explosion happened. The explosion would seem not to have been a very violent one. it was, nowever, sumcientio cause the reversal of tbe air ourrent, but the proper ventilation was soon restored Dy means oi water beinK numoed into tbe downcast sbalt by engine power. None of tbe maohlnery ol tbe shaft was injured, and, therefore, as soon as the ventilation was resiorea, tuose wno were on the pit bank were enabled to descend and ascertain tbe extent of the calamity. In the course of seven or eight hours tbey brought out fifty-four dead bodies. Two men were rescued alive nearly four hours after the explosion; a boy who was also rescued alive and removed to his home died tbere shortly afterwards, and two bodies are reported to be in the sump. An underlooker named Ellis was close to the upcast shall, near tbe furnace, at the time of tbe explosion, and be it was who first went to the surface. The manager, Mr. Thomas Houth worth, was not far away. They, in company with an active band of volunteers, at once commenced the painful task of ascertaining tbe extent of tbe disaster. The first who were found to have suffered were some persons at worst near tne upcast shaft; they were burned owing to tbe flames from the furnace having been driven along tbe workings. Tbe labors of tbe explorers were both ltdlous and arduous, for the explosion bad so completely destroyed the ventilation that It was necessary to pro ceed with great cautlou, and of course every deluy only increased the fears of tbe safety of those walled in by the deadly choke-damp. A few succeeded in penetrating the suffocating vapor, and escaped wltb tbelr lives: and one who was apparently dead was brought back to llle by tbe employment of artificial respiration for nearly ten minutes. As the explorers pro ceeded, tbey were joined by a number of gen tlemen from the adjacent collieries, willing to render all the assistance in tbeir power. Mr. George Gllroy, of the lace Hall Coal An A Iron Company, was among the number, and shortly after noon the Government Inspector, Mr. Hlg hod, reached tbe pit, and at once descended to take part In the search. It was six hours after the explosion wben thelastbody wasfound aud the extremity of the workings was reached. Most of the deceased had left their working places, and were found in the main pony road, along which evidently they hid been trying to ebcape. Tbe condition ot tbe corpses varied considerably. Many of the boys wbo were killed had clean faces, and the features were as placid as if the healthy-looking lads were slumbering. Some of the men were dreadfully wounded; others were much burned, and in one Instance the flesh had been burned to the bone oil a man's fingers. Many of tbe killed are relatives. In tbe workshop last nlgbt lay tbe corpses of two brothers named Tyldesley. Tney were two of four sons of a widow who only lost her husband quite recently. The other two suns were In the pit at the time of the explo sion; one escaped without injury, but the other had to be taken home. One man had his hat blown off tils head aud bis lamp extinguished by the explosion, but escaped uninjured. The dead number sixty, and It Is expected that the list will be increased by other cases, several of the injured men and boys being in great dan ger. A boy named Richard Highton, aged twelve years, son of the fireman who was killed in the explosion, died the next afternoon. His mother has nine other children remaining. '1 lie calamity has deprived twenty women of tbelr husbands and between fifty and sixty children of their fathers. Tbe Mew Parliament. Tbe London Times of November 28 suggests that one principal cause of the geuaral mo notony In tbe character of the members re et utly returned has been the perfect dellulleuess of the object which the country had present to its mind In electing them. It bad no desire to choose representatives who should regenerate society; It wlsbed simply to take men to whose sense of honor it could trust to keep faltuful to tbelr pledge of redressing our special national grievance. In 1 S3 2-3 the middle olass had fronted bv reiorm. and It returned raanv con- kpicuous politicians, both In gratitude for past mid in tbe hope of future services. The Whig patrons of small boroughs had a pride in a measure which they regarded as their own work, and retained by the oiler of secure seats men of promise as Its apologists In the new liouhe. Tory borough proprietors themselves gave to the Legislature some illus trious contributions of this olass, though with a different objret. But neither the middle class nor tbe patrons of boroughs have gained anything by last year's reform to make them anxious to quicken the movement. Tbe work ing class has reduced its political Influence to nullity by the vain ambition to be a power in the Htate itself. It squandered its sympathies on candidates whom no other class, and not even their own with any unanimity, would supiort, while Its more educated champions were left to fight close boroughs. The same agencies which have made a crotchet infinitely more fatal to a candidate's chances than any want of brillancy explain the un usually marked preference shown for local candidates The country had no ear for the Haltering tale of new liberal trophies to be won which a gallant company from Oxford and Cambridge was eager to unfold. It felt its need of one definite end, and was inclined tooon nde its case to persons woo knew it would not, or could not, exceed lis Instructions. The Time regrets the excessive manifestation of a rather provincial sentiment. It Is a fault ot tbe whole that local respectability will be re presented in the new Parliament at some cost of a deprivation of talents which might have benefited the nation at large. 'I' lie I'rlnce of Wales' Journey Postponed bVom the International of London and Par U. The Intended Journey of the Prince of Wales appears to have undergone some modifications, owing to the politicals venu that are passing in England at the present moment. On leaving Paris the Prlnoe was to proceed to Marseilles and embark tbenoe for Egypt; but the Queen baa deemed it advisable lor him to pass some lime at the Court of Denmark, so that he will be nearer London should her Majesty decide upon adopting any serious resolutlju.

Tbe policy of procrastination which still finds favor with the Provisional Government of bpaln la awakening great dissatisfaction among the people. More intelligent than Us rulers, the nation Is beginning to see that there 1 Utile prospect ol permanent or even pro longed peace, and no hope of real prosperity, so Jong as the establishment of a strong gov ernment Is delayed. Not only do the public Journals of Hpalu express this oonvlollon: toe population are manifesting their dlstpproval ot tbe existing stale of affxirs. Galloia, Co ronna, Ferrol, Logo, Mondenedo, Roya, Muros, Pentevedro. Vigo, Hantiago, Rtvadlo, and seve ral other' places, the Nord tells us, have pro tested. The Tmparcxal iZu.ZZZ ?.nel eetio remonstrance to the capitalists of the country, deprecating in severe terms t!la,r neglect of tbe loan, and warning them that if tbe country falls to accomplish its revolution and remodel its Institutions on a secure basis the fault will be theirs, aud tbey will have to support the consequences without having the eaiibfactlon of protesting, because they will have held In tbelr bauds tbe means of avoiding the catastrophe. Toe people of Spain claim the elections, and demand that tbe Cortes should be convened without delay. There can be no doubt but tbat these requisitions are perfectly reasonable, and that a true spirit of patrlothru must prompt every Spaulard to desiderate the greatest expedition. Tne people are in lavor ol monarchical institutions, aud do not make any stipulations with respect to the future soveielgu of the country, exoopt tbat he shall be of Hpanlsh orglo. The crisis Is a most serious and perilous one. The Piovis.oual Government will risk everything, and bring Spain to Irreparable ruiu if It persists In a delay w hich Is neither necessary nor excusable.

Tbe Hand In Subscriptions A Parlsinu Editor Against tliu Prosecutions. M. J. J. Weiss, editor of the Journal de Pm is, who had been arrested on the charge oi pub lishing the liaudln subscription, in tne course of a long argument before the court, thus spoke in his own defense: As to my pei sonal defense, here is what I have to say: 1 have been accused of "disturbing the public peace." The prosecutor went across tho channel to sees: In the coiumns of tue Times evidence in support of bis allegation, and then told you that you judges had the rlgut of appre ciating intentions; moreover, he added that you had the meaus of forming your opinion before you in the shape of my articles. You see how tbey were wrKleu, and can form a pretty clear idea of what sort of man I am. Le style c'extl'honvne. Admitting a:l in Is, does it lol iow that there existed a previous understand ing between those who went to the church yard and mysell? You say that we must not arbitrarily separate one fact from another, but neither must you arbitrarily connect them together, and you cannot implicate me In wuat took place on thb 2i of November. The Journal te Paris opened Its subscription, notou the 8m, as has been staled, but on ihe Tib, a disiiucuon not without importance, as we were not at that lime aware that proceedings, ha i boen insti tuted against the A'f mi. On opening thl suo scilption we staled that tbe Representative liaudlu bad died for his country and liberty; lhat the public tribute to ulsmemor ouldouiy be viewed us a tribute to tne cause of freedom. Our design and our object are therefore periuctly clearly defined, aud me prosecution does not adduce any proof that I had any other desi iu than tbat which 1 publicly staled. Moreover, while 1 reassert before you that 1 had the most perfect right to pass an opinion on the events of the 2d of December, as lhat period forms pan ol the historical teachlug in the public souools, nevertheless, since Hie subscription wasopeued, ldid not reier to the coup d'etat, save in one passage in answer to the rays. Xual journal had slated that "the prosecution was me ml to call on the Judges, not only to saucliou the 2d of December, but to ideutlfy it with law list If." 1 thought it necessary to leply: "The nation lu the exercise of its sovereign power, might absolve the 2d of De cember, but no court of justice had tue power of pronouncing it to be lawful." Exoupt these two lines, which were provoked by the j mi ual vou know of. 1 abstained from any reiljui ion. In opening the subscription I menm to houor a man wbo died in defense of law; I hud no iulen tlon ol reviving civil war. I refused to receive all the subscriptions forwarded to me wltu letters staling tho intentions and motives ot i he subscribers. One paper has even reproached me with having been guilty of weakness lor not inserting the letter M. Herryer bud done us the honor of sending to us, that noblo letter in whloh lie stated his opinion with eloquent terseness, and which will survive as his political testament. The present regime Is not lhat ol Tiberius. M. I' Avocat Imperial is not a tool of ts Janus, I am not Trematlus Corvus. I have ntllber bis station nor his eloquence; aud tue tiibunal, whatever It sentences me to, will not expect me to open my veins in a warm batu. (Laughter.) Itul as long as the world Lists there will be a controversy as to the merits or de merits of Brutus and Casslus (I myself ihluk they were wrong); but there cu ba at uvo opinions as to Buiidln. He foil unarmed, iu defense of the constitution. Hut with all these differences the two cases are analogous. Tbe law of public safely is but the Uj nwjeslatix modernized, and the action brought against Trematlus Corvus Is now brought against M. Weiss for expressing his admiration of a man shot down for protesting against the violation of the law. I will now conclude. To honor a noble deed is no con spiracy; to honor and reverence the dead can not be holding np the living to haired and con tempt. Napoleon to (be Late M. Iterrycr, The Pays, Journal de I' Empire, having pub lished twoarlloles against the late M. Berrver. the Opinion Aaltonale recommends that public revller to read the following letter, whloh was written in 1810: My Dear M. Berryer: I cannot leave my Paris prison without again thauklug you lor the noble services you hit ve rendered medurlog my trial. From the moment I knew that I was to be brought before the Court of Peers I bad the idea of asking you to defend me, because I knew tbat the Independence of your character would place you above tbe petty susoeptlbilltles of paity, and that your heart was open to every unfortunate, and your mind eapabloof under standing all grand ideas and noble feelings. I therefore chose you from esteem; now I leave yoH with gratitude and friendship. I am Ignorant of what fate may have in store tor me, whether I shall ever be able to prove to you my gratitude, or whether you would accept any proof; but whatever be our reciprocal positions, putting politics and lis desolating obligations aside, we can always hold each other in esteem aud friendship, and I confess to you tbat If my trial had no other result than tbat of winning your friendship, I should still consider myself a greuier gainer, and should not complain of my lot. Adieu, my dear M. Berryer, and receive the assurance of my esteem and gratitude. Louis Napolkon, GENERAL NEWS. Exploitive Missiles In War.

FROM 'SPAIN. MontenIor OflVrs UN Services to the I'ru vlslouitl luvrriimeut-Ueu. Ko.l.t' I'rot-lamnttou at Cuillz, Bv Atlantic Cable. Madrid, Dec. 14. General Roda has trans mitted a communication from Montpeusier, stating tha, on being apprized of eveuts lu Cariiz, he had left Lisbon to oner his services to the Provisional Government. Tbe provisional authorities have replied that they respeet him for his intentions, but he must relum luime-. dit'tely to Lisbon. General Roda on Saturday issued the following proclamation to the Inhabitants of Cadiz: A revolution, incited and iomented by the secret enemies of the couutry, has already de. luged with blood the streets of this beautiful city. 1 have come to suppress this rebellion with the forces placed at my disposal by our Government. Lay down your arms and your lives shall be saved. This I guarantee In the D ime of the Government, upon who-e clemency vou may rely. Such are the only means by which Insurgents escape being treated with In flexible rigor. I will grant you until to-morrow at noon, in order that the old men, women, and children, aud citizens peaceably disposed, may withdraw from tbe town. Inhabitants ol Cadiz, it will not be my fault if, with the means of attack which the imperU ous law of necessity compels me to employ, there should come tor Cadiz a day of moiuniDg and ruin. I shall regret such result to tue. bottom of my heart, but I shall do my duty. This proclamation produced a marked im pression on the insurgents, who sent a delegi tion, accompanied by the Unt'.ed Sta'es Cousul tD Genet al Ciiballero, and offered to place their arms ln buildings which ho should designate. General Roda expects to euter Cadiz to day. FROM ST. LOUIS. Ihe Itecont F.lertlon Iletnrns Xot Yet All In 'I'll Senatorial Coutext. Special Despatch to T)e Evening Telegraph, Sr. Louis. Dec. 14 The official returns of Missouri are not all in yet, and the Secretary of the Etate has been obliged to send messengers to some of the counties to hurry up the vote, but even If this were Dot so, tho official vote could not be announced until after the expiration of fifty days from the day of election, the law providing tbat tho returns shall not be counted by the State Board of Canvassers until that time. There Is much speculation as to whether Colonel Switzler, in the Xinth, uuJ General tshlelds, In tho Sixth district will receive certi ficates of election. There is good reason to believe that Colonel Switzlcrwill be declared elected, but there Is some doubt about S'alelds. Although the oppo sition to General Schurz for the United States Senate Is developing In some qu trier, It is fee ble and will effect nothing. There is scarcely a doubt of bis election. So'nc persons are assail ing him on the giouud that bo is au iufl Jl, but thore is nothing In the General's record to sub stantiate the charge. It will have but little, if uuy, weight. General Loan's iriouds are active on his behalf, but his prospects diminish rather than lucreaec. New combinations are talked of, aud it Is glveu out ibat Hendersou's pros pects are brightening, but there are uo outward evidences ot it. FRO 31 OMAHA.

Ills ministerial 9llseonluct In England. George W. Srnalley, the New York 2'ribune correspondent stationed in London, writes to tbe Daily Ntwsot that city, and af:er quoting from tbe American papers upon the conduct of Keverdy Johnson, says: I fear I have proved my ease only loo well. Keenly as 1 resent the conduct of Mr. Rnvordy Johnson, I sincerely wish that the course of events might make it possible for his repre sentations of the feeling at home to become It up. But I believe the first step towards making tbera true Is to recognize the existence of a sentiment at this moment not friendly but embittered, and to make It clear how this has sprung into new life ln tae last few months. The Hist step towards settling a quarrel is to comprehend the cause of it. Whether you choose then to da enytblng towards settling it is for you to decide, not fr me to suggest. If the old Irk nils of America and Euglund among whom we are all grateful to you as one of the truest wl.sh to mend matters, I think they must now gte that tbey cannot do It by nattering tne mta who has rekindled all tbls exasperation. Mr. iveveidy Johnson has ceased to be, ln anything but the most official and technical sen so, the representative of the United States, lie re mains their Minister only during the dying hours of a degraded Administration, whloh hesitates to obey the popular demand for his recall, identity lng himself with the enemies of his country in Eiglaud, be has so com pletely separated himself from all loyal mnn ln America lhat every additional civility to him here no matter from what quarter it may come will be received as a fresh insult at home.
