; PETROLEUM IN EUROPE.-It is stated that
petroleum has been•discovered in Hanover,
and capital is being privately subscribed in
England to raise the oil from the wells,
which are reported to be numerous. The
constantly increasing importance of the
trade in mineral oils at Marseilles, too,
attracts attention to the oil deposits of
Europe. It is now considered certain that,
in a period more or less short, the old
continent will not be tributary to America
for mineral oils for lighting. Every day
new natural reservoirs of petroleum are
discovered; and at the same time geologists
are beginning to understand oil fields better
and the manner in which they are distri
buted over the globe. Among thelocalities
'which already export petroleum, is Moldo-
Wallachia. Havre is the principal French
market for petroletim. The, Marseilles
Semaphore, however, is of opinion that
Marseilles is destined to become a-large
market when the European reservoirs shall
be worked on a large "scale; and when it can
receive the mineral oils oils of Asia by the
Isthmus of Suez. There .is •an intimate
connection between the reservoirs of petr4-
leurd in Gallacia and Moldo-Wallachia.
These two oil regions, in fact, :only form
one, which corresponds to the general line
of the Carpathian mountains.--.Londori

Pis.—Justice Read.—The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company et al. vs. The
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com
pany et al.
The argument in this case, as before
stated, was opened yesterday by Mr. Cay
ler, who after reciting the various sets of
Assembly, incorporating the companies
defendant, and he contended that in every
case the roads were local and designed for
local traffic. Their routes were desig
nated 'with precision, but the compa
nies had varied from the route, and now
cap the climax by proposing to unite, in
order to form a grand through route from
the far West to New York, leaving Phila
delphia entirely out of the scheme. In
regard to the claim of the respondents to
connect and thus form a through route, Mr.
Cuyler contended that the roads 'were not
so located as to enable them to form the
connection recognized by the:acts of Assem
bly. As they cannot thus connect, they
must, as indeed they aver they design,
build a new road, which has no authority
in law.
Mr. Coyler occupied the attention of the
court until the hour of adjournment yester
day. _ _
This morning Mr.Geo.W. Biddle followed
on behalf of the respondents. He discussed
at great length the effect of the agreement of
10th January, 1860, by which the Reading
Railroad Company secured as interest in
the new enterprise, and by the terms of the
contract protided for the city of Philadel
phia, and secured the city against discrinai
natiOns in favor of New York.
Mr. Biddle read in this connection the af
fidavit of Thomas W. Cunard, Engineer in
Chief of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway Company. It states that "the route
to the city of New York via the two rail
roads above named (Western Central rail
road and the Lewisburg, Centre and Spruce
Creek railroad) will be one hundred miles
shorter than the present route to New York
used by the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway Company via Salamanca over the
New York and Erie railroad. Upon
the two routes proposed by the Atlantic and
Great Western Railway Company, one to
the city of New York, and the other to the
city of Philadelphia, under the contract
with the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company and the East Pennsylvania Rail
road Company—the station of Port Clinton
is a common point to which all freight des
tined either for New York or Philadelphia
is taken; from Port Clinton to New York
the distance over the routes we have adopted
is one hundred and thirty-seven miles, from
Port Clinton to Philadelphia the distance is
78 miles—the difference in distance in favor
of Philadelphia is 59 miles."
Mr. Biddle contended that self interest
alone would induce these parties to use the
route to Philadelphia as the shortest route
according to the affidavit of the engineer.
The difference in favor of Philadelphia is
equal to 60 per cent., and that difference is
equal to the whole freight across the Atlan
tic. Passing from this Mr. Biddle dis
cussed the legal points involved in the
question.
The case is still under argument.
According to the arrangement made be
tween the Counsel, Hon. - Robt. J. Walker,
Judge Black, and George M. Wharton,Esq.,
will address the court in behalf of the re
spondents.
