Philadelphia, until noon, the2sth of May in for.the GraduatiOn and Masonry of said Railroad, from . a point on. the Wissahiccon, abont fourteen mace from 'Philadelphia to Hel lertoWn; a distance of thirty-six miles; seven teen miles more will be ready for letting in a short time. The work now offered includes a Tunnel' 1800 feet long, and a large amount of Earth and Rock Work and Masonry. The line will be ready for examination by the 10th of _May,._inot.,_and Profiles, Speoifinations,,and forms of Proposals, may be seen at' the office, as 11.14rei after the 15th inst. . ppitant Railroad Project.

By this line, in connection with the Lehigh Valley R. R., a direct Railroad communication will be opened from the. Lackawana, Wyoming and Lehigh coal fields to Philadelphia by the Freemans burg and Norristown or the Belvidere Delaware R. R. An extra rail, we understand, is to be laid on the new road, so as to Combine both the wide and the narrow guages.. it requires no prophet to forsee that, if put in operathin,• this toad will do a largo and profitable business, not only in the transportation of coal, but passen. gars, merchandizo, &o. By this route Phila delphia is brought nearly one hundred miles nearer to that populous and wealthy region, than by any one now in existence. The stock of this road is, we believe, principally owned in Philadelphia.--E. Argus. • The Newspaper.

Catharine Grim, Administrator of tlizabeth Snyder vs henry Snyder. This was an action to recover the arrearage of interest on dower, charged . on real estate owned by defendant.— The defendant produced the ieceipts of Mrs. Snyder for the amount claimed, and also showed that he had supported the widow during the time for which the interest was claimed. The jury found a verdict in favor of defendant. Ferdinand Berkenioyer vs Daniel Rex. An ac- tion on a warranty of a horse.

The defendant had set his fence out to the line, thereby obstructing the right of way. The defence relied on an alleged consent by the plaintiff to this removal of the fence. The jury found for the plaintiff, six cents damages. The effect of which is to give to the plaintiff the enjoyment of his road. George Wadsworth vs Stephen Bills, jr. and others. This is tho case in which the title to the Zink Mine was expected lo be tried. A motion was made by Mr. Brown for the de fendants to quash the writ. This motion was very ably argued by A. E. Brown, EN.,- for the defendants, and by A. H. - Reeder, Reeder, Erg, for George Wadsworth. The court quashed the writ upon the ground that a quod ei defor teat would not lie for a term of years. The de fendants have taken a writ of error. Menagerie and Circus! Herr Driesbach & Co's. Menagerie and Riv. ere, Devious & Co's Grecian Circus combined are now travelling the United States..

Philadelphia Railroad. On the 6th of May the route of this road was permanently located from the month of Sandy Run, on the Wissallikon, to Hellertown near the Lehigh river, a distance of thirty-six miles. The line as adopted will leave the Lehigh by the Saucon Valley, which is followed to the summit at Simes' Gap, thence through the "flatlands," east of Quakertown, to Rocky Ridgepat Coffle's Gap; thence through Landis' Ridge by a tunnel about 1800 feet long, and - across the east branch of Perkiomen. near Sel• lersville. It then ascends Derstein's Run to the summit, between Perkiomen, Shippack, and Neshamony, and crosses Hatfield Plains to to the Wissahikon at Sandy Run. From that point to the city of Philadelphia, fourteen miles distant, the location'of the route is to depend on the amount of subcriptions in the several districts. The Fishery Question. The fishery dispute has broken out in a fresh place. The scene of hostilities has been re. moved from the Banks ol'Newfoundiand and the Bay of Fundy to the invincible State of Delaware. The invading mackerel catchers from Maine and Cape • Cod, however, soon found out that though they might occasionally run into the northeastern bays and inlets, un der the guns of Her Majesty's cruisers, with impunity, they had made a serious mistake in supposing they could trifle with the "Blue Hen's Chickens" of Delaware. In their rash attempt to plunder the meat houses, kitchens and chicken coops of the village of Lewes, they appear to have suffered a most complete and ignominious defeat. "Blood will tell," and 'the seashore Delawarians proved them selves worthy of theiraires. CoMplete lists of the killed and wounded have" not yet been made out. The invaders must have suffered considerably in their retreat, for they went off under the heavy fire of an old second hand piece of artillery of small calibre. We have had nothing like this 'since the last grand battle of Cafavajal, on the Rio Grande, in the midst of which both sides fled from the field.

The Southern Mail of yesterday brought us some further items of intelligence from Mexi co. Santa Anna reached the capital on the morning of the 17th, and was received with the warmest enthusiasm. In the evening the whole city was brilliantly illuminated. An ex press arrived on the Bth, bringing news of the occupation of the Mecilla Valley by Governor Lane. The announcement produced much ex citement, and a disposition was very generally manifested, to drive die invaders back at the point of the bayonet. An armed force was im mediately ordered to proceed to the aeoneof action, to assist the Governor of Chihuahua, in expelling, the United States troops. On the 9th a delegation of the proper authorities waited upon Jullge Conklin, the American Mlniater, and entered . their protest in the name of the Government against the proceeding. The re ply of Guy. Trine, of Chihuahua, to the procla mation of Gov. Lane, was considered by the Mexican authorities as embracing all the strong points of the argument in favor of the claim of Mexico to the territory in dispute, and was looked upon as a model of argumentative dip- 1 lomacy, that was "snot to be overturnedby any act of the United States,. powerful as she is in the scale of nations." In short, a sincere be-' lief that in. this qUestion the Mexican Govern mem has the right on her side prevailed among all classes, and they wore .determined to sup port their position.

He who knows, like tat. Paul, both how 15 spare and how to abound, has a great knowl edge; for if we take account of all the virtues. with which money is mixed up—honesty, justice generosity, chat ity.frugality, forethought, self sa. crifice,—and of their correlative vices—it is a knowledge which goes near to cover the length and breadth of humanity; and a right measure and manner in getting, saving, spending, giving, taking, lending, borrowing bequeathing, would almost argue a perfect man.—(Notes on Life by Philip Van iirlerelde.
