INDIAAND CHINA, The expected news from the'.East had ar rived in England after , the departure of the, Persia, ; and was telegraphed to us last night from Quebec, wliitbor It had beeit cothteyed by tho India, which left. Liverpool on the 29th. July. The mutiny at Bengal was on the In crease, and! the insurgents still held Delhi, whence they had made several sorties, but had been repulsed. , Id Madras the spirit of disaf fection had made some progress among the na- tivo troops. -AIL was tranquil at Bombay.*—' The King of Qudo had been arrested for com plicity iathe revolt. We also Jearn that the 'Chinese fleet hud been destroyed after two se vere engagements* tV 1 !) refer to our telegraphic .report.. ... * . :■ Intercourse with the Chinese. First among the nations of Modern Earope to open commercial relations*with the Chinese, were tne Portuguese, who dispaUhed a'ship to Canton in the fe&tly'part' of the sixteenth' century, theirs ,being the first European flag soon at. Canton. They soon after established a factory at Kitigoo, and* by the year 1500, had 'mahy trading ports and settle- along 'the coast: their' protection Christianity was introduced aiming the Chinese, and met With much encotir&geinont/nhtU a series of distasteful measures drew upon' theta the in dignation of the people, who me-Upon .them at Ningpo, and it is reported, destroyed upwards of eleven thousand Chinese Christians, and eight hun dred Portuguotei and burned thirty-five ships. Aftor thifl {bey woro l greatly,restricted intheir tpftde.v’; , r ; rV ~ v Tho Portuguese, says the; Providenoe. Journal, .b’avo pent five embassies to tho Emperor of China, the first, being in 1517; useoondobontforty years after,* third in 1007, and a fourth, in 1723,.which was the .first «no that reached . Pokio. .None of .these were successful. Presents .were given and received,, but no; commercial, advantages wore gained, in tho year 1763 another was sent. which renobed Pekin.: It was conducted and ended like its predecessors i all pf them exhibiting in a great er ng less degree, the epeotaolenf humiliating sub mission of. independent .nations, through thoiren ■voys,, to a court,which took pleasure in. arrogating . and .exalting itseifion the homage it reoelvod, and studiously avoiding all reference,to the real busi ness,of the embassy,; that It might neither give nor deny anything.... , .The Spaniards, opened* trade with China after they, .bad taken Manila and the Pbillipplnes. in 1613. They font an embassy to Pokin in 1680, but the Chinese protended net to understand their ob ject, and sent the party back to Canton, wbero they were imprisoned- The.comMeroo betweon Manila and China bas been carried on ohiedy by the Chinese, who bave emigrated in large numbers to the.PhiUippines. The heavy taxes imposed upon them by, and the harsh treatment they have ever received from the Spaniards, first led the Chinese goyermnont to retaliate on them and establish the system of espionage and restriction, which they nf .terwards extendeddo all foreigners. -. ; The Butch first.visited Macao in 1622, and wore driven off. They then established themselves on ,the Pescadores, hut a few. years after, sc greatly were the Chinese.asnoyed by the Dutch, that thoy sent.an army against them and forcedthem to re tire to Formosa. Tuey extended their settlements on this island, established ~ Christianity, and ereoted. many, churches and schools,;but subse quently suspended their operations in this direc tion for fear of offending tho Japanese,‘-whose trade they wished to securer ' amusements; John Drew’s National Tubatrk —This eve ning, Mr. Canning, the Treasurer, tokos a benefit. The performances nro to,consist of the play of Ger ald, .and the pleasant farce t caU ; # One of the most interesting men in Washington, and the jnoat unostentatious is Peter Force, Esq. Ilia labors as a geographer, historian, and literary antiquarian havo made him renownod, not only in this countiy. but throughout. the world. He lives tho life almost of a recluse, toiling late and early at his books. His compilations form a main ground work of Amerioan history, and whoever shall be come tho owner of his library will possess aprlco less, treasure. Various suggestions have been made as to, this fine collection of books, but no effort should be spared by Oongres9 to seoute it. Mr, Force is now advanced in years, and I have no doubt has himself thought of this subject. My im pression is that ho would prefer that the United States should become the purchaser. ' The question shortly to be decided is this j What now ground will tho opposition loaders to the De mocratic party assume? Their grapple with the lion of Nationality hhs proved too much for them. Their overthrow in 1850, in a oonteet on which they risked everything, has not only given triumph to the friends of the Constitution, but has ooparated from their own standard thousands find tens of thousands of disenchanted men—men who long for peace, and who are ready to compromise upon tho settlement of this eternal slavery question. So far as tho tariff question is concerned, they oan make no capital out of it. Tho manufacturers of iron in Pennsylvania are oontent with the tariff as it stands." Mr. Buchanan is pledged against all special legislation,and should an effort be made' by the land jobbers and railroad speculatorsTo remove all duty on railroad iron I have no doubt it will receivo, as It will deserve to, aatornohocki Our friends ip v Congress will have good support,from the representatives of Missouri and Michigan, and, if Minnesota bo admitted ’into the Union at tho next session, os I am led to be lieve she: will; from the representatives of that hew State whoso rich fields of iron are rapidly and profitably, dbvoloped and who have become in ooh sequenoe deeply concerned iu whatever effects this great Americau interest. ' On the’subject of the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, there ban be no oontost. That was tried in'Virginia, in North, Carolina and,in Tennessee at the late elections, but as we have seen, it was a millstone around tho neck of every man who resorted to it. As to a road uniting the Mississippi and tho Paoiflc ocean, Mr. Buchanan’s California letter, prior to tho olection, has removed that from tho arena of party strifo, leaving it to be settlod ilpon broad and constitutional principles. Tho Amoiicans .themsojycsihave grown tired of thoir secrcsy and‘ their oaths, and every day will make them still more tired of their attaokß on the foreigner and the Catholio Church. ! On the question of currency, the Jaokson-Beuton idea of tho precious metals for the paymentof labor and the transaction of business, is a fixed fuot. Banks—and tho mention of tho word, and consid ering the magnificent and gorgeous marble edifices erected of late in our large cities for banking pur poses, recalls to my mind tho expressive oompari son of Edgar A. Poo, that they were like a beauti ful ancient statue which fascinated all beholders by its dazzling loveliness, but wbich/wbon broken, was found to be stuffod with rags To return Banks are passing away, leaving tho entire paper system in the hands of those who do not employ it as a circulating medium, but as a moans for the payment of largo sums of money from parties in one plaoe to othors at adistanoo. What then will Mr. Seward qnd Mr. Weed and Mr. Greeley resort to ? What is their plan for the next,Congress? that is the question. If therfcwere a'Qlay or a Webster to Had the opposing-columns, a personal party, such as followed Ibe fortunwqf thb formor, might be erected, and legions of men. would follow such’a leader, simply because he was a gallant and glorious intellect. ' i But unhappily the weakest part of the republi can policy has been Mapersonnel , aud if they cannot revive upon a prejudice or a‘passion, their occupa tion, like Othello’s, will bo gone X. V. [Correspondence of The Press.] Washington, August 8,1857. Important advices have been rocoivod from the U. S. naval force in the Bast India and China seas, undor date of Hong Kong, 23d May, 1857. Writing from iho U. S flag ship San Jacinto, it gives Commodore Armstrong, who is in command, great pleasure-to acknowledge the receipt of the Depart ment’s communication of the 27th of February last, approving of tbo courso ho found it his duty to pur suo in the- now and ombarra&ing circumstances forced upon him by the action of tho Chinese au thorities. The acknowledgment of the Depart ment, addressed to the officers And orews of the ships, was duly read on board the San Jacinto, and forwarded to those whowere absent. The Commo dore is gratified to inform the Department that-so far they have been abTo to maintain thelrneutrali ty amid all tho complications of tho difficulties be tween the English and the Chinese, and against the pressure of our sympathising countrymen. Frop tho enormous foMo tho English are collecting on that station, and the arrangements thoy l aro making for its permanency, it is clear that China Is to be compelled to throw oti her exclusiveness. The En glish squadron on that station consists of— ' 13 sailing vessels, mounting 278 guns. 12steimers, 171 « 7 gun boats, “ 14 “ Total 82 vessels, «< 463 “ And ■ the following vessels are on their way to join tho squadron; ' 2 sailing ships, mounting 52 guns. ‘l2 steamers, “ 240 u U gun boats, “ 28 “ Total, 28 yessols, “ 320 “ ' Making a total of sixty vessels, mounting seven hundred and eighty-three guns. Accompanying this force aro sovcral sea-going hospital and trans port ships* with a very largo supernumerary medioal staff; all indicating (adds the Commodore) a continued aud permanent purpose on the part of the English Government. , Oommnnder Foote writes to Commodore Arra : ■strohg, from Singaporo, liudor date of May sth, 1857, that the magistrate who handed down the colors of the barque “Henrietta Maria,” brought there by the raa’to of the “ Coeurde Lion,”.which vessel hnd picked her up at sea, came aboard and expressed his regrets that any difficulty should have occurred with that vessel. He asked whethor they would salnto, and whether he might say to the Governor that they would call on him. Tho Commander had saluted, and was on his way to the Governor. A Medioal Board, to, consist of Surgeon General Tawsou, Surgcona 8. P. Moore and C. H. Daub, will assemble at West Point On tho 28th inst., to examine iho physical qualifications of candidates for admission into tho Military Academy. Fort Gibson having been abadoned, the mili tary reserve; post and public buildings 'belonging thereto, will, under orders of the War Department, be formally transferred to tho government of'thV Cherokeo Nation. This transfer is made in accord ancowith tho treaty with thoCherokeosof 1835-30. It is understood that tho Chorokees intend build ing a town on tho site of the Fort. It is now reduced to a cortajnty that tho Admin istration will a clear majority in the next House of Representatives, tho declarations of the Riohmond South to the contrary notwithstanding.

This stato of facta will deprive the Southern Americana from holding tho balanoe of power between tho Republicans and Democrats in 'the next House, ami will give a clear working ma jority to the Democratic Party.

Teas had advanced at Loo Ohoo and Shanghai. GREAT BRITAIN. Baron Rothschild had been returned In Parliament from London, without opposition.

Tho CunninghAm faroe still occupies the atten tion of the authorities. Mr. Stafford, counsel for the accused, has submitted to Justice Davison his points on a motion to bail- Tho counsel holds that the circumstances of tho cAse, as shown by the pre liminary affidavits, obviously indicate that no objeot can exist for any attempt to escape from trial on the part of Ihe prisoner, and claims that she should, therefore, be admitted to bail in a lust and reasonable hut not excessive amount. The Eoints were submitted to the magistrate at a late our on Friday night. Not being able to give them thpt attention yet which he supposed the interest of the case demanded, he determined to let the matter lay' over until Monday." At three o’clock to-morrow afternoon Justice Davison will decide either to admit Mrs. Cunningham to bail or to send her to prison forthwith. rOINTS OP THE ACCUSED'S COUNSEL ON MOTION TO The People vs. Emma A. Bnrdell.— The fol lowing points were submitted to Justice Davison at a late hour on Friday night. Not being able to give them thorough attention, he has decided not to render any decision until Monday, when he an nounces bis determination to render the decision at d o’clock on the afternoon of that' day. 1. The presumptions of law aro always in favor of tho innocenco of the party acoused, and without an extended argument on the precise charge here made is not.proved as a matter of law. Ist. Either that tho accused has fraudulently produced an infant within the meaning of the statute. (2 B. S. 861, seo. 61.) ' 2d. Or made an attempt so to do, (2 R. S. 81,' sec 3, subdivleon 2.) ' > £l. It is the duty of the magistrate to admit to hall (unless prohibited by statute.) In all cases, unless some very strong reasons, exist to the con trary, to refuse it in a bailable case is an offence in itself at common law. (4 Blaokstone 29T.) ‘ The Justice acts judicially, and not ministerially only. His discretion is swayed by legal CQURiderv tions, and ball shall be taken even after convic tion of misdemeanor of a high graded provided the appearance of the prisoner be rendered sure, and legal doubts exist as to guilt. (People vs. Johnson, 2 Barbour 450. ~ ‘ ; The Justice has at the present stage of the case <;ho same power (R. S. 892 see. "23) which the Court oi' Oyer and Terminer.(2 R. S. 893, sec. 33) and the Court of Seasons (11R. 8. 893, seo. 33) would have to bail the prisoner if before them. The Court of Oyer and Terminor has power in any oase before indictment, and the Sessions in all cases there triable. » The offence charged not being a oapital one, it is admitted the right to bail will not be denied on the preliminary proof. Ut. The circumstances of the case as shown by tho preliminary affidavits obviously indicate that no object can exist for any attempt to escape from trial on the partof the prisoner. • Her situation and her interests combine to the contrary. She should therefore be admitted to bail in ajust and reasonable, but not.excessive amount. (R. S. 49 and 303. Wm. R. Ssafford, of Counsel. * ' Mrs. Cunningham still remains at No. 31 Bond street.

Republican of. the 6th, gives the following account of the late terrible outrages at Leavenworth City, which hAve already been briefly noticed by Telegraph ju The Press. It says; , “From what we learned, and our information comes from good authority—an eye-witness—it ap pears that there has been a regularly organized band of ruffians, desperadoes and thieves*, for some time, infesting the city and neighborhood. Thoy have mode a profitable business of killing strangers, rubbing them and throwing their bodies into the river to avoid detection. Several strangers, known to have been possessed of money, have very mys teriously disappeared lately, and no one was able to account for tneir absence On Friday last a man nam-id Stephens went from Kansas City to Leavenworth and presented a check for one hundred and oight dollars at the bank, and received the money. He was seen to qount his money by a man named Quarles, who kept a sambtiug house in Leavenworth, and who dntioed Stephens to a spring, near the town, under some pretence, and where they were promptly met by some members of the gang. Stephens was im mediately killed and his money taken from him. His body was then thrown into the river; From .fiuneiimaxpUDwi 4&uso Quarles, gave (the alarm that he and Stephens had both been robbed. Ha tated, moreoYor. thbt tho eecumnco took place at he aforesaid spring near town, and that Stephens had beeu killed. Some citizens suspecting that all was not right, took Quarles into custody. And proceeded to the spring where the murdered man was discovered, and also some of the gang, whd were arrested on the spot. M ■' • ' One of the arrested parties, a young man, quite a youth, made a full confession, of the murder of Stephens, and also exposed numerous achievements of uie gang. 1 The crowd of citizens took Quarles and a' man named Bayse, and kept them until they had such evidence as they thought sufficient to convict them of being implicated in the numerous murders re cently committed in tho community’. After some deliberations, and hearing a speech from Judgo Leeompte, who endeavored to quiet the excitement, tho crowd, fearing, interference from troops at the fort, took Quarles to a tree below town and hung him. Soon after Bayse shared ‘ the same fate. " -On Sunday, as tho boat passed down, the ring leaders of the gang—& man named Wood and an* other nampd Knight, or Knighton—were in the hands of the oitisena, and were to he hung in the evening. Wood was making hi* 1 will, »nd Knight Was writing a oonfeasion. Wood is supposed to possess a considerable amount of property—pro bably the proceeds of hi* diabolical deeds. . 1 names of those who were implicated by the young man who confessed were unknown. Some twelve or thirteen citizens, however, wore missing when Bearohod for on Saturday. ' The citizens of Leavenworth appear to be de termined to lynoh every one found connected with this band. The entire community approve of and sanction tho course pursued in regard to the hang ing of Quarles and Isaysc., . Fuhtheb Phocebdlso3 or Judge Lynch at Lea vekwortu. —The St. Louis Republican of the 6th states that tho Steamer Hesperian, which ar rived from the Missouri river, reports having been at Leavenworth City on Sunday night lash when our informant went up into the town, a Vigilance Committee were trying Wood and KniGStox for being connected with the late murder, and a very large orowd were awaiting their decision. The supposition was that Wood would be hung that night and the greater part of the people were anxious for hU execution. At about .101 o’clock, p. m., the Mayor' appeared before the orowd, and advised them to disperse, with the promise of giving the prisoners a fair trial on the succeeding day. After his speech a small .portion of the crowd left—the greater part remaining to hear the decis ion of the Committee. 1 In a few minutes after the Committee appeared, and stated their unwilling ness to hang the men before giving them a fair aud impartial trial. After this the crowd dispersed, ana a guard was placed over the prisoners. American aud English Agriculture; At tho recent meeting of the Royal Agri cultural Society, of England, Lord Portman introduced a guest, Mr. French, tho Vice Pre sident of the Agricultural Society of the United States, to the audience. Mr. French, who was well received) said his mission to England was ,principally agricultural) and bo had loft his own country with that Yankee spirit of inquiry to spy out the land elsewhere. La two months he bad observed carefblly dur ing that time the differences that were mani fest in this country between its agrleuUure aud that of America. .He observed a more thorough, a more systematic course of agri culture, a better system, a more profitable, a more money-making system. That differ ence was the result of certain facts which he would point out. Tho first was, that land in America was very cheap,, it could be bought there for fire shillings an acre. Land being so choap was not so well culti vated, and was generally worked for present profit, and as soon as tho present profit ceased it was left, and a new pieco of land was pro cured. Another fact was, that for tho labor on the land 2s. was paid in America for Is. in England. The price of /abpr in New' England was 6a. a day, that was, he thought, the lowest estimate, ana he thought that was double the average price paid forhborinEngiaud,sotbat they would see that the Americans were em barrassed in their operations by the price of labor, but from the wOdo of cultivation they could not afford to lay #ut the kind oi 'labor that was laid out in FingJuuL He might be allowed to boast a little, as they had, he was glad to say, taken the first prtye fo? mowing machines; that was a proof, not that they had superior and better genius, but another illus tration of that maxim thatnecessity is the niother of invention.” If they had been obliged to pay 7s. a day for mowing their hay, as ho had apno on his farm In America, he thought, like Yankees, lU&y would have set themselves down and thought a little more sharply upon this subject. The Yankee sat down thinking he barf got 7s. a day to pay, and his acres must be put, apd so he set to work to construct a machine and beat all England. The position of agri~ culture in .America might bo illustrated by the case of aperson who had no money, and whose only capital, was,a tolerable education; he could read, write, and cypher, or <^£al^iulato, ,, as the Yaukeea call It, and he goes Into the wilderness. He could not. sit down and read books; his business Js with the Question of how, bread is to be provided. 1 fie cannot consldor what is best for posterity and what is tho best system of agrioulturfef but Ihe question is, how caa lie get maintenance for noxfc year for his wifo and children. Then he must build a houses and if he has uny neighbors they help him .to build a log house, and it is. built in a day,. wWch owirers ibis purpose very well., 'Then he hart an occasional fight or brash with the Indians, and, further, he had a variety of I matters to attend to, such as making his fenced‘and bj-isja % gets settled, if he does, not go west as he'fcenerally does two or three times, and so he gWs on improving the land* The farms, in America are one vast set tlement, and howjmight land there was he did not know, but when he left home there were thirty-one States, and how many there were now he really did not know. To give an in stance of the mode ol progreess, twenty-five years ago there was a place where there was a wilderness in which there was nothing but a few fishing houses, and the other day the in habitants numbered at least 110,000- ; Then, too, they, made roads—the farmers -pioneer— and in the State of Illinois, according to a recent statement,, thc-ye were 2660 miles of railway in that one single State; so that get ting the land gradually cultivated they had a country with the Atlantic on one side, the Pa cific on the Other, the Gulf of Mexico on another, and the very best kind of neighbor, in Canada, on the North. THE CITY. The Sabbath Morn.-- The golden haze is in the East. The azure dome above is unstirred through all its vast profound. Peace is enthroned upon all the fleecy clouds, and gently they float upon thebosom of the sky. Still are earth and air. The waters seem to heed the hush, and to murmur more softly as they flow. The city answers to the quiet of nature. Silence is upon the lately busy haunts and thronged ways. Hark! a sound breaks, but does not mar the stillness—there is music in the air—the Sabbath bells are ringing. Sweetly their tones go forth with their wooing welcome unto all: —“ Come, oome up hither; come up unto worship.” Years agone the voices were the same; and thus they spoke on the old Sab baths unto many over whose graves their musio now mingles with the breeze of morn. Fromdoorr way after doorway, they step who are going to the house of prayer, In the mood of .pleasant con verse thoy wend their way, while, the bells keep sweot companionship* “ The best that hath come down with centuries” is around. It is the hour of purest joy, when Faith “ Doth lift her brow And talk with angels, till the listening soul, That, by the thraldom of the week, was bowed To weariness, doth, like the enfranchised slave, Leap up to put ita glorious garments on.” Launch of the Shubrick. —The light ship Shubrick was launched on Saturday afternoon, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, at three o’clock.

A large number of ladies and gentlemen witnessed the launoh. The New Bask*.—The second instalment on the stock of the Commonwealth Bank is being ra pidly paid up. The Commissioners called fprits payment between the Ist and sth inat., but in con sequence of many of the subscribers being absent from the city, it was impossible to eolleetthe entire amount, aggregating upwards of 9145,000. The greater portion, however, of the second instalment has been paid up. On the 16tb of next month, the Commonwealth Bank will go into operation in that portion of the Philadelphia Bank buildup south west corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, occupied by Mr. W. H. Patton, wall-paper dealer. Robert Morris, Esq., editor of th e' Pennsylvania Inquirer, will undoubtedly be selected as its President. The Commissioners of the Corn Exchange Bank have also called in the second instalment on the oapital flock of that institution, payable between the 7th ins*, and September 16th. The location of this bank has not been determined. The Commissioners of the Union Bank continue to receive subscriptions on Saturdays from ten to twelve o’etook, at the room, third story of Gridon’s Building,' corner of Third and Arch streets. The second instalment will dot be o&Ued in for a fort night or longer. The location of the bonk will be' on the west side of Third street, below Arch. It will be remembered that the last Legislature authorized an- increase of the capital stock of the Manufacturers’ and Mechanics’ Bank,of $700,000. Of this amount, the directors several days ago offered $300,000 for sale, and up to Saturday about $270,000 had been subscribed for, and paid in/ ' Toy Balloons.— •UT© see it stated, that these novel playthings, now so abundant in our city, may, become dangerous articles by the introduction, through the pores of the vnld&nfxed rubber of which the covering is made, of atmospheric air, which, uniting with the gw contained in the envelope, pro duces an explosive mixture analogous to fire' damp.

Our short article of Tuesday lost upon the decline of the stock of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, has elicited far more attention than usually falls to the lot of similar remarks. Among others, we notice an editorial of two columns in the New Jersey Signal of Thursday, in which an attempt is made to place ns in the position cf an assailant of the Company and its ma nagement, which, under all the circumstances, is simply ridiculous. Yft ate now, u we have long been, upon the best terms with the officers of the company, as they are aware, and we desire to hare those relations conti nue. We own no share of stock in any railroad or in any bank, we hare all o&r means embarked in the sin gle enterprise of Tss Puts, and we devote our whole energies to the task of tnairing Tag Pazss accept able to our readers and of use to all who may consult its columns for any purpose whaterer. We hare no desire and bo intention either to depress or elevate the stock of any corporation In the land, and we Shall neither lend ourselves to those who wish to use us,or press what we deem to to truth through Year or through favor from any quarter. What we said upon tho subject of Dr. Foote’s Yeati taton was the result of our honest convictions of tho success and benefits of that contrivance, and our regret that an improvement was not in general use upon tho railroads in New Jersey, which kept a ear, under our own observation upon » dusty rsilread, entirely from dust and cinders, and the temperature twenty de grees lower than it was outside, upon one of the betted* days of summer. At another time and place we may have again to refer to the merits of this invention. At present, our business is with the Camdanand Amboy Railroad - and its decline in prise at-the stock board. It seemed to ns a sufficient explanation of the Call of this that tbe company had made at a time when all were ruling high, and iti stock was aeQing at HO, «£{- vidend of twenty percent, la stock and four per cent. In cash, upon both the new mid old stocks. If the owner of a share of stock worth $lOO at par ißdgUU&tbe market, received 120 in new stock and s4Joina taah - dividend, and was then able to sell his stock at $lOO in the market, after a general destine In sioeks, there could certainly tono reason fa* apprehension on his part, « ; that of othsr stockholders, aad sarcasmferthftbcddftrt, who had bought the stock for an investment, to *"»>» sacrifice by throwing it upon the market at a of depression. It seems to us, however, from the showing of fit* signal, that the Company wastes fifty thousand doilais per annum upon dead heads in New Jersey alone, irfcr more likely to injure tbe Company, than ourexpreafcm of an opinion that the fares were too low upon, aooaa eg the trains, and that the Company were carrying their desire to benefit the public to an extent not altogether compatible with the true interests of the We have no desire to enter into a controversy upon this or toy other subject connected with stocks held by our citizens or sold iu oar markets. . We shall watch th» movements of the day, and report upon them what we believe to be the truth; and when we deem the rinu suitable, we shall express our opinions upon tho —nags ment of. this or any other railroad company. We have ■ no doubt thC some of the trains upon tM« nnd train at a price per head too low to be remunerative, as the Signal baa shown ti»at a large sum la atotdqtti/ “ thrown away upon dead-beads, we trnsi soon to that the free list has been abolished altogether. - r IncaunKtam with this subject, ws annex the follow..
