It is 4785 miles long, nearly twice the length of the Canadian Pacific, and runs from Miask, Viaddivostok, on the Sea of Japan. This road will make England's position in India very insecure. The curious fact has just been brought to light in Kentucky, learns the New York Pust, that from 1837 to 15860 the Btate loaned money to individuals. The interest from this source amounted to ! $16,128 in 1857, to $21,179.32 in 1858, to 26,528.10 in 1859, and in 1860 to $21,363.38. The State Auditor's report for these years shows that many promi- vent Kentuckians availed themselves of this means of relief from “the stringency of the money market.” The all called in 1861, and singularly enough, loans were both principal and interest were paid in every instance New Orleans is at last to have a paid fire department, announces the New York Post, the city having been always dependent on a volunteer service, A particularly commendable feature of the ordinance bestowing this long-delayed boon on the inhabitants is the provision that the officers of the Department shall bold their positions during good behav- for. The appointment of the Fire Com- missioners and of the Chief of the De. pirtment is a prerogative of the Mayor. To this, the New Orleans Times Democrat objects strenuously, holding that it will make the Department subject to the evils of political influence.

The decline was due to dry weather, approaching drought in por. tions of Indiana and Illinois, and low tem. perature in all sections of the corn surplus districts.
