These Bonds can be Registered SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PAID-UP STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS. No bonds issued on road un der construction; issue limited to $20,000 per mile oi road built and in running order, BEING ONLY A BOUT HALF THE ACTUAL COST. The road is being built wr.li great economy lor cash; 150 Miles are already comp’eted in the most thorough manner, equipped and running regular trains; and the whole line (over 400 miles) it is expected will be completed within tbe ensuing year. It is one ol the most im portant roads in the State of New York. It short ens the route from New York City t> Buffalo 70 miles,and to Oswego 45 miles, it traverses a populous district destitute of other railroad facilities, whi li must furnish if a large and profitable local busi ness; and it will be completed at an aggregate cost rar below that of any competing line. These advan agos cannot fail to make itono ot the best paying roads leading from tbe metropolis, and its Fiist Mortgage Bonds one of the safest securities ever Is sued. All mortgage bonds issued on railroads run ning from tbe City of New York are good, and the interest promptly paid, although some of them are mortgaged lor more than double the amount per mile that the Midland is. Among the bonds now offering we know of none equal to these. For the investment of trust or other funds there is nothing better; and in exchange for Government Bonds iliey give a large increase of income, besides capital izing the premium. They are meeting with rapid sale, and we have been gratified to find that they are taken chiefly by our most conservative and sagacious capitalists in exchange for Government securities.

These rains combined with the floods from the melting snows of the out lying mountains, cause the lake to extend its boundaries through the vast surrounding marshy regions, until the whole centre basin of Africa is submerged, and the superabund ant waters find an outlet in the channel of the White Nile. The freshet thus produced reaches Gondokoro toward the end of Feb ruary. Ileie the rains which fall during the succeeding six months, increase it in volume, and it arrives at Khartoun never earlier than the 15th nor later than the 20th of May. In the Khartoun country, the Blue Nile, from Abyssinia, swollen by the rains that have prevailed in the region of its head wat ers during May and June, joins its relative from under the equator, and the twain thus become one, roll their irresistible flood over all obstacles towards the Mediterranean, the first indications of its advance being perceiv ed, as I have before intimated, at Cairo about the 17th of June. Slowly but surely the broad river here increases its volume; and from the 1st of July, at sunrise every morn' iag, there are criers who communicate its height, as indicated by the nilometer, to ev ery quarter of Cairo! Not only do the deposits from these inun dations fertilize the country, but. they have gradually raised its surface, and at the same time the bed of the river. The extent of this elevation is indicated by the statue of Kame ses the Great (known as Memnon) erected at Thebes four thousand years ago, whose base is covered thereby to the depth of seven feet. The watery highway that has worked such wonders, and that has made Egypt, from the earliest ages, an inexhaustible granary fot less favored nations,—following its windings from Victoria Nyanza lake to the Mediterra nean, i3 found to be 4,800 miles in length Possibly its communication with Victorii Nyanza is simply by a branch stream, and it: source is to be looked for in a still more re mote quarter, so that it may [yet prove to bi the largest river in the world! Many portions of the regions througl which it passes, possess almost unlimited ca pabilities as to agricultuie and manufactures. These, at no very distant d-y, will be occu pied by a population capable of developing their resources; and hence Egypt may realize an increase of wealth and power far greater than the Suez Canal can ever bring to hpr, even if that grand work prove entirely suc cessful. But it is time that we should be exploring our way to Alexandria. Leaving Calioub, the next station reached is Bennah, 28 miles from Cairo. From this place there is a bi anch railway over the de sert, via Zagazig and Ismialiah, to Suez. Here we cross the Nile, by a handsome bridge, and proceed on through a level coun try, whose rich soil, with the exception of here and there a spot occupied by a cluster of date-palms, orange, banana or other fruit trees, is entirely devoted to agriculture; and the eye is gladdened by the t hrifty fields of cotton, cane, doura, and vegetables, which in some cases are only bounded by the horizon! These in turn give place to less fertile dis tricts, where herds of the hornless, mouse colored cattle of the country and of the lop eared native goats are pastured. And, by way of variety to these alternations now and then a native village succeeds. A sketch of one of these villages will suffice for all. It 13 situated on rising ground which ap pears as if thrown up for its special accoramo pation. The houses, generally built of stud and one story in height, have flat roofs which are warted over with little dome-like protub erances for the accommodation of the numer ous pigeons which are always fluttering round. Every tenement has what answer! fora doorway, and openings of various shapes to admit the light, but no doors or window; are to be seen; and in the doorways and op enings, and perambulating about the premises as though the real lords and ladies of the manors, are scores of those stately barn-yard fowls, which the Egyptians have, from time imn)fltnA|,'al UfthoJ life m oren? relieving their natural mothers of a weighty responsibility. Add to these combinations a few poorly clad old men sitting cross-legged in the sun against tlio walls; half a dozen donkeys, more or less, standing around asleep> with their heads indicating the cardinal, and as many more, points of the compass, as the nature of the case will admit; throw in the usual accompaniment of ill-looking canine vermin curled up adrowse In the sun, or en gaged in the ..musement of knocking fleas ofi their ears,—and surmount the whole by twe or three piume-caps in the shape of enor mously tall palms, and you have as true a picture of an Egyptian village as I can paint from a hasty observation. I have to add that a very near approach to one would not lie ad visable. But we are checking up at the importan* station of Teutab. Here there is a popula tion of twenty thousand,—Cattle fairs are held at certain seasons of the year, and the mua houses are liberally interspersed with respectable-looking, blue, pink and yellow ed ifices, comprising a handsome mosque, court house, Catholic chapel, post-office, mansion oi the governor, head-quarters of consular agen c.es, &c.; and it it said the Khedive is making arrangements here for the construction of t new palace. For the benefit of our countrymen who may have business with him I will mcnilon that the white and accommodating Howidjl Lahan Lahan is American consular agent at Teutah. Half way to Alexandria we come upon Kafr el Zaiat, a town having several cotton factories, and presenting quite a lively ap pearance; and are given time enough to ex amine the substantial iron bridge which cross es the river on twelve arches, and cost, 10,000 000 francs (about $2,000,000.) Tassing thii bridge, we enter upon the great triangle o the Delta formed by the two branches of thi Mle and the Mediterranean. This is tra versed by canals, acqueducls, and eovem conduits, for the purpose of irrigation; and ii generally under a good ,late of cn,Ufttl8a. Here vegetal,on seems Wore forward tbafl farther inland. The cotton I. bursting its boiles, the vegetable fields are yUlaing their stores, the wheat and com have boeu^ther ed; and in many places the fellahs are en gaged in plowing. Their plows are such as Adam, who lived somewhere about this region, might have in vented—being simply the elbow-shaped crotch of a small tree, beveled to a sharp point at one end for the share. When this is inserted into the ground, the other prong is held up right in the left hand of the plowman, who in his other hand carries the long whip with which he drives his team. These teams are as novel to us as the plows, being made up variously of a camel and a mule, a horse and a cow, a bullock and a donkey—never, so far as my observation went, of two horses, t wo camels, two donkeys; and rarely of two bul locks—aud the members of these teams are kept from quarrelling, it so disposed, by being separated by a yoke in all cases at least eight feet long! We next haul up at Abou Ilummus. This station is not far from Afte, a village of near ly four thousand inhabitants, famous for the luxuriant vegetation of its neightorlDg gar dens and plantations—and where the Mab moudich Canal, which lurnishes Alexandria with water, is replenished from the Nile by steam pumps. These pumps have the capaci ty to raise ten millions of cubic feet per day. Damanhour, which next arrests the train, is the chief place of the province Behera. With its three mosques, its few handsome houses, and tombs, it presents quite a fine ap pearance. It was near this place that Bonaparte, dur iug his campaign iAEgypt, while in advance of his guard, came near being captured by the Mamalouks. Taken to do by Desaix for his recklessness, he replied, “II n'est point icrit la haut que je doiee jamais Ure prisonnler des mamelouks prisonnier des An glais a la bonne heurewhich liberally ren dered into English might read—It is not written on high that I shall ever be a prisoner to the Mamaionk3 prisoner to the English in good time! The mud-built village of Kafr el Douar is our last station before arriving at Alexandria. This is an unimportant place In the swampy regions of Lake NarcotU. The neighborhood is much resorted to by the Nimrods of Alex andria, for th3 purpose of huoting the wild boars which are said to abound among the rank vegetation of its marshes. Thence to the city the rail passes nearly all the way along the border of the lake. With regard to Alexandria, I must leave my observations for a future letter. Adieu Yours, <fec., S. B. B. Mabbied Themselves.—A correspond ent of the South Haven (Mich.) Sentinel gives the following particulars of a recent Spiritualistic marriage at Breedviils This is said to be a progressive age, and we were most happy to see it verified on the Sd inst., in the marriage, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wells Brown, of Mr. Wm. Knowlu and the well known and popular speaker, Mrs. Frafik Bead. It was expected that Sister Horton would officiate upon the ail-important occasion, but she was prevented by illness. Under the cir cumstances it was decided that the nest best •hing would be for the parlies to marry them selves. Accordingly, after a few moments consultation, the following ceremony was re peated by them, and legalized by Justice Hurlburt: ‘•Frank, with your consent, before these witnesses, I acknowledge you as my true and loving wife.” The bride responding: “I too, William, with your consent, belore these witnesses, ro ceive you as my loved and lawful husband. Our souls united we shall be true to each other here and in the grand herealter.” After the ceremony the guests, some fifty in number, partook of a bountllul sud hand somely arranged repast.

Adam Clatk, in advising a young Wes leyan preacher, told him on no consideration to hold interviews with women, especially youthful ones—unless in the presence of wit nesses. Indianapolis never had so much sickness as during the recent session of the State Teacher’s Association at that place. Of thir ty-seven families called upon, thirty would like to accommodate, and would do so but for sickness in the house.” A colored boy of Red Hook, X.

To those wlio were abroad at an early hour yesterday morning it must have occurred that nature had not left it to man to provide all the decorations in honor of the dead philanthropist whose ashes had just been borne to his native land. A more glorious sunrise never illuminated the harbor, and the floods of light falling upon the iee-enerusted trees and upon all the objects of the land seape, welcomed him who loved his fellow men, with more than imperial splendors. If diamonds had been suspended from every twig of every tree the scene cyuld not have been more magnificent. Presently all (he people of the country, act ing by their representatives, w ill pay with more formal ceremonial, their respect to the illustri ous dead. They will receive with subdued and solemn enthusiasm one whose name is in that too short list of those who are illustrious solely by reason of their humanity and love of their kind. How short that list is no one can lealize till be has attempted an enumera tion. Only one historical name, that of Howard, has hitherto been thought worthy of a descriptive title signifying that philanthropy was the distinctive characteristic of his mind and of his career. Others have deserved it, nerhans. aft 1 linrrvnnV»1tt -1 i .1 either did not carry on their work on a suffi ciently large scale to attract the attention of mankind, or were unappreciated. Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, hundreds of Sis ters of Charity and kindred associations, have done much in their sphere, but the world has not taken especial note of them. Mr. Peabody, owing to the immense wealth which he was enabled to control, has obtain ed a place among tbe great names of history, and obtains the honors of a burial at which nations appear as mourners. The occasion will be a profitless one if its true significance is lost. Its meaning is that men are now chiefly to rely for their fame not on the success of their schemes for self-ag grandizement, but on their efforts in behalf of their fellow men. Each year teaches this les son more and more plainly. It begins to be thought an infamous thing that the comforts and necessaries of life should be monopoliz ed. It begins to be held a crime for one man to withhold lor luxurious indulgence or for miserly hoarding that which would buy a •tarving man bread or a freezing man clothes. The prompt recognition of these facts by cap italists like Peabody will prevent any attempt to bring about a more equitable distribution of property through mad agrarian or commu nistic schemes. Mr. Peabody’s example wide ly imitated will prevent that attack upon the very foundations of social order that has often been imminent and under favoring circum stances might be actually made. There is no opportunity for a contest between labor and capital when capital voluntarily divides its gains with indigence. Political Note*. Washington advices say it is understood that the Administration has sent this reply to Gen. Terry in Georgia: “Go ahead and exe cute the laws as you understand them. Thus far your course has been sustained.” A petition, signed by over six hundred wo men,citizens of Wyoming Territory, has been presented to the President, asking the remov al from office of Mr. Lee, Secretary of that Territory, upon the ground of intemperance and Immorality. “It (the Press) should have known that by the 14tli amendment of the Constitution, rat ified nearly two years ago, it was declared that ‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.’ So says the Advertiser. Very true, but that does not make Mr. Revels eligible as Senator unless the amendment is retroactive and makes him --4 Act Repealing the Usuby Laws.—The opponents of the usury Jaws now on the stat ute hooks of Maine are of the opinion that by persistent effort they can effect their over throw. Accordingly we find that a bill has already been introduced in the House, as has been done for several years immediately pre ceding, providing as follows: Section 1. When there is no agreement for a different rate of interest money, the same shall continue to be at the rate of six dollars upon one hundred dollars for a year, and at the srme rate for a greater or less sum and for a longer or shorter time. i' Section 2. It shall he lawful to contract to pay or reserve discount at any rate, and to contract for payment and receipt of any rate of Interest; provided, however, thas no great er rate of interegt than six per centum shall he recovered in any action, except where the agreement to pay such greater rate of interest s, i» In writing. t The third section saves existing contracts t from the operation of the law, and provides that it shall go iuto effect on the 1st day of July. _ Sib JonN Young, Governor General of Canada, is an exceedingly pleasant .sort of gentleman. An Irish paper says that he owns an estate in Cavan County, Ireland, which un til recently was occupied by Rev. Mr. Bell, a Presbyterian clergyman, now deceased. Mr. Bell left two very aged and infirm sisters and a niece, the latter being charged with the maintenance of the two sisters, and manage ment of the estate. Contrary to all precedent and to the intense indignation of the people dwelling in the vicinity, notice of eviction has been served upon the ladies. The St. John Olobe, commenting on these facts, says: “We can very readily understand that Fenian out rages’ of the worst description would not ap pear (to persons used to such acts as Sir John Young proposes to commit,) so very dreadful as they do to us.” rt Mb. DAWEs’(SrEF.cn, as Republicans should be at some pains to remember, has received the approval of almost every' Republican journ al and Republican statesman in the country _ Democratic Congressmen remained quiet, hoping the appropriations alleged to he ex travagant would be made in order that their party might profit by the loss which would be inflicted upon the country thereby. But a Republican, careless of what might he the effect upon his party, fearlessly arraigned tber heads of departments for their extravagance/ and was promptly and enthusiastically en dorsed by all bis party asscciascs. Contrast the spirit displayed on the one side and on tho other!_ Hon. Josiaii H. Drummond, who was the Republican candidate for Mayor last year, ab eolutely declines to be a candidate this year, though he could receive the nomination if he desired it. The pressing requirements of an extensive professional business will prevent his acceptance. Emigration from Denmark.—The emigra tion from Denmark to this country has become so large as to excite the .apprehension ot the leading citizens and the government, foe it is not only the superabundant and least useful part of the population that now emigrate, but some of the most useful olasses of society, in cluding skilled laborers, whilst the last census Shows that the number of inhabitants is sensi bly diminishing from year to year. At Copen hagen a committee has been formed, with the sanction and support of the government, to see what can be done to prevent the country being drained of her agricultural and mechau ical population. It is proposed to endeavor to Induce intending emigrants to remain in ihe country and settle in the western part of Jut land where there is uncultivated land beloug °v, e tate ana a very sparse nopu'ation; and where by grant, of land> yh,;Jion from the payment of taxes for a certain „erio(] 1 other inducements, they might establirtVolo tries in their own native country. t A heavy extra freight train on the Eric It. u. Taesday, near Port Jervis, ran into the regular 1 freight train from the west, which latter was 1 heavily laden. One locomotive was complete ly smashed and fifteen freight cars broken to splinters.

Mr. John Ferguson an Advent preacher, announc en that he would deliver a sermon in support of his views in Manahan’s saloon. Out of cu riosity and a natural desire to see the termina tion of so novel an affair, about fifty persons assembled at the place designated and anx iously awaited the arrival of the preacher. The first thing the preacher did on his arrival was to step up to the bar aud order beer for all the house,alter which he made a fervent prayer to God, and then proceeded to commence his sermon, lie opened his Bible, laid it on one of the billiard tables, and announced bis text, and then lor tbe space of about one hour he addressed the attentive audience, setting forth in glowing terms the doctrine which he adhered to. At the close, he again gave ut terance to a short prayer, and then requested the audience to rise while be delivered the benediction, after which he announced that he would deliver another sermon at the same place aud hour on the next Sunday. He then again requested all present to come forward and have something to drink, at bis expense, and a considerable number obeyed the sum mons with alacrity. i lie newt, The President has signed the bill admitting Virginia into the Union.

It is reported that the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company intend to withdraw their cfp'itnnra rnnninn lint*n>onn Vf_vr_i._*i A pinwall and Panama and San Francisco, con fining their operarions to the China line. This, if true, indicates the failure of the subsidy scheme in Congress.

He commanded at Galveston at the time of the capture of the Harriet Lane. The Committee on Public Expenditures have prepared a hill requiring all public offi cers having in their charge furniture and oth er government property to git’e a bond for the safe keeping of the same. Their reason for this hill is that it is found that government furniture, etc., are found on sale at auctions and other places, and no means are at hand to determine how it gets there or what is done with the proceeds of sale.

Miss Nellie obtained a beautiful camelia, which she gracefully presented to his Royal Highness, and the Prince accepted It with many thanks! Investigations into the fate of the three Wy ble children show that they have not been lound. The three children reported to be the missing ones prove to be three strolling Italian musicians from New York. Judge Sanford has urged a complaint against the mother and ion Wyble, hut the neighbors arc all afraid to 10 so, fearing Wyble, who has .a had reputa tion, will cither murder them or burn their bouses and barns. The mother has told sever 11 conflicting stories about the children, S3 has dso the grown up son, and there is a general relief that the little ones were murdered. The whole Wyble family are preparing to leave for parts unknown and will probably escape. According to a correspondent of the Chicago Republican, ouo Col.

The London Telegraph has gone into “inter viewing Bismarck and the khedive being the first victims. So has the Paris Figaro which has been trying its reporter on Hva ciuthe. A lecturer recently said, referring to the change of name women experience when mar ried, that there was something sublime in im molating a proud patronymic on the altar of love, as when Portia Pontifex marries Peter Pipes. In translating Tennyson’s “Charge of tho Light Brigade,” a German poet has taken the liberty of changing “seeks hundert,” which has nothing to rhyme with it in German, to one thousand, “tausand,” admitting of several rhymes. A correspondent of the Waterville Mail, writing from Washington, says that the coun try will he pleased to learn that Secretary Cox, of the Interior Department, through an u|i|icai u.v n. n. nrumraona, iasq., ot Water ville, has made an important ruling in Pension Law, underact of June 6, 1866. Inpayment of $2 per month, to minor children, when the widow ha3 remarried or died, Commissioner Van Aernam ruled that the above amount should be paid to all the children “save one” that is, one of them should take the place of the widow. On the appeal of Mr. Drummond, the Secretary reversed the Commissioner’s ruling and decides that all the minor children ot a soldier are entitled to the $2 per month. Many Eastern people who go to California, do not find it so very different from the rest of the world, after all. One gentleman, who has just come home with a swollen head and a very flat pocket-book, said he had ior years an ticipated the pleasure of a visit, and of an op portunity to indulge in the amusement of drinking the pure unadulterated juice of the grape, imagining that he could sample gallons with impunity. He bearded the lion in its very den; his senses became oblusticated; his brain reeled, and he became for a time entirely oblivious, and whilst in that condition he was robbed. The burning of the opera house at Indianap olis, a few night ago, was marked by presence of mind on the part of the manager, as rare as it was praiseworthy. There was a large audi ence assembled in the house at the time, lis tening to a lecture by Gough, and when the fire was discovered, instead of rushing upon the stage and shouting “fire,” with the cer tainty ot creating apanic and causing the loss of many lives, the manager went to those in the audience nearest the door, whispered to them to go out, and so down the aisles t‘ll the building was cleared, safely as well as speedi ly. This example should he laid to heart and followed, in case of necessity, by all who have the charge of buildings used or public assem blies. Personal.

The new First Baptist Church edifice on Bates street, Lewiston, is now approaching completion, and may be said to be practical ly comblete, except the pews have not been put up. And now Auburn has had a “wedding in high life.” One of the parties to the ceremo ny lived in Auburn, the other in Leeds, and both of them, as the Journal mysteriously says, “trace their descent far back to a toreign race in a far distant country”—not to put too fine a point upon it, in Airica. The ceremony was performed in church and a large crowd was in attendance. AROOSTOOK COUNTY. Tha Aroostook Pioneer says that the pro posed extension of the New Brunswick and Canada railroad from its terminus at Rich mond, N.

In the Old Testament bot i anical remedies are repeatedly recommended, but In l no passage of sacred history is man recommended to swallow calomel, or blue piU, or any other mineral preparation. The sick were directed to eat herds to strengthen them, to purity them, to heal them to restore them. In that day the art of making vege table extracts was unknown. The herbal medicines 1 were mere infusions, It was reserved for a later ageto nnite the sanitary essences et tonic, aperient and antibillous roots, barks and plants, with an active stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the debili tated or disordered system. The crownine triumph of this effective mode of concentrating and applying the virtues of medicinal vegetables US?— the Pfodnction of Hostetler'sstom r ®*Ter before had a pAtectly pure al coholic slimulant been combined with the expressed dom Nheflne,t8PeCiflCS °f 1118 "«et.“,P k5 dom. Never yet, though eighteen years have elated since Its Introduction, has this great restora tive been equalled. It is taken at all seasons in all climes, as the most potent safeguard against epl demies, as protection against all unhealthy exhafa «m8a P Ce d8billty or be*8‘ disease; as a remedy tor mtremlttent and other malarious fevers as an appetizer; as a soverign cure Ibr dyspeysia as a general tonic and invlgorant; as a genlle, painless apcr.ent; as a blood depurent; as a nervine; as a 1 cure lor bilious affections; as a harmless anodyne; and as the best defence of besltb under un fltvorable circumstances, such as Sedentary pursuits undue bodily or mental exertion, hardship, prlva- 1 tlon and exposure.

The Peabody Ceremonies. Announcement ot the Arrival ot tlic Fleet. 'Flie Naval Procession BEOEPJION 0; THE OJMMITfEES ON B9ABD THE MONABOH. Particulars of the Great Event of the Day. Precisely at 7 o’clock yesterday morning the residents of our city, who had not yet read their morning papers, were made aware of the arrival of the Peabody fleet by the fire alarm striking the preconcerted signal of six repeat ed three times. The day was a magnificent one, the weather being clear but not cold, and the trees, whose branches were laden with ice, presented a sight such as is rarely seen except In northern latitudes. At an early hour the citizens began to assemble upon Munjoy Hill, along the wharves and even upon the house tops, all available places from whence a view of the harbor could be obtained being speedily seized upon in order to witness the NAVAL PROCESSION. By the kindness of Collector Washburn the ■team revenue cutter Mahoning, Capt. John A. Webster, bad been kindly placed at the dis position of the United States government, State and city officials together with the com mittee from the Peabody lustitue and town of Peabody, accompanied by the members of the press. Ths cutter weighed anchor about nine O'clock and swiftly glided down towards the fleet, which stretched out from abreast Fort Preble nearly to Portland Light. On board of the Mahoning were Gen. John M. Brown, of the Governor's staff, representing the State of Maine. Alderman Curtis, in hAhiir nt »i.a of Portland, Hoa. A. A. Abbott, President of the Peabody Institute, E. W. Upton, Esq., one ot the Trustees, General Suttou, and Messrs. Blaney and Osborne, committee from the town of Peabody, Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr., Col lector of the port, U. S. Marshal Clark, Hon John B. Brown, Gen. Webster, Hon. Moses M. Butler, .Thomas Shaw, Esq., and H. B. Brown, the celebrated marine artist. The scene from the deck of the cutter was one never to be forgotten. In the background lay the city with every twig of her magnificent forest trees—which have gained her the appel lation of the Forest City—sparkling and danc ing in the sunlight, displaying a thousand pris matic colors, while the gilded cupola of the City Hall and vanes of the different churches gleamed like molten gold. In bold relief upon the snow-wbite background of Munjoy Hill stood out the black masses of people who had gathered to witness the approaching spectacle, while overhead hung the vast canopy of the heavens of unclouded blue, without even the smallest white cloud to fleck its broad expanse. All along the wharves lay the shipping with their sails set and flags at half-mast, present ing the appearance of fairy craft, the work of the frost king. It seemed as if nature had de termined to attire herself in her purest robes in honor to the great philanthropist whose spotless name and rare deeds in the cause of humanity had called forth this great demon stration on tfie part of monarchical England and republican America. Pursuant to orders issued by Admiral Far ragut on Wednesday morning at 2 o’clock aud forwarded to the officers in command of the iron-clads and Plymouth, the Miantonomoh and Terror prepared to get under way at eight e’clock, together with the Leyden, having on board Captain J. J. Almy of the Admiral’s staff, who represented him on this occasion. By quarter of nine they were majestically I moving down the harbor, aud, as the clocks of the city struck nine, in accordance with the Admiral’s order the colors were hoisted at half-mast on all the vessels, and the Plymouth and iron-clads commenced firing minute guns, which they continued until they had taken their place in line in the rear of the Monarch, according to the rank of their respective com manders, and anchored. By this time the Mahoning had got down to the fleet and piss ing to their starboard took up a position in the rear of the line. All the vessels then weighed anchor aud steamed up abreast of Fort Gorges in the fol lowing order: The Monarch, Miantonomoh, Terror, Plymouth and Leyden, where they an chored. Iu accordance with the orders issued by the Admiral, no salutes were fired. As soon as the vessels anchored the Mahoning steamed up to the starboard of the Monarch, and the gentlemen composing the special com mittees on the part of the State, city, Peabody Institute and town of Peabody, together with the members of the press, took boat for the Monarch. THE BECEPIION ON THE MONARCH. To any one accustomed to the decks of an English mau-ot-war, an interesting scene was presented as the party wento»er the gangway, hut to the uninitiated iu ioreigu armed vessels it seemed as if they were gazing upom some picture they had frequently read of hut never never had the good fortune to witness. The large force of men, the varied uniforms, from the gay scarlet and gold of the marines to the quiet blue of the regular officers?, which cor responded very nearly with that of our own navy; the seeming disorder that reigned,which after a moment you noticed was the perfection of order, for no one got in another’s way or interfered with him; the two turrets, with their immense rifled guns, weighing twenty five tons each; the sense of missive ness which strnck you on every hand—ail these and many more objeots were hurriedly glanced at as the party passed on their way down to the Cap tain s cabin, where they were very pleasantly received by Mr. Geo. Peabody Bussell, accom panied by the executive officer of the Mon arch, Captain Commerell having gone ashore to call on Admiral Farragut. Mr. Russell seemed very much pleased with the arrange ments that had been made by the State and city, together with those of the United States Government, to do honor to tbs late Mr. Pea body. He spoke iu high terms of tbe letters he had received from Governor Chamberlain and Mayor Putnam, but stated that he should feel obliged to wait until bo saw Captain Com merell before anything definite could he de cided upon. It was fiually agreed that Mr. Bussell, Captain Commerell, the Admiral, Gen. Brown, Mayor Putnam, Gen. Sutton, Mr. Abbott and others should hold a confer ence at the Falmouth Hotel. Mr. Bussell then invited the gentlemen to view the chapel where the remains of Mr. Peabody lie in State. The mortuaiy chapel is situated in the alter part of the ship, on the second deck, between the Captain’s cabins. The walls are hung In rich black broadcloth, and in the centre of tbe panellings are alternately elegant silver can delabra and the monogram G. P. in white silk tv»r upon a raised dais, rests casket, which is eight feet nine inches in ei»Kth and two feet one inch in breadth, heav-, I ily studded with silver nails, and bears upon the lid a silver pine with the following in hg. intiun: Geokuk Pkabouy, Born in Dauveis, Jan. 18ih,1795. Died in London Dec. 4th, 1809. The casket is surrounded by tall candles in elegant silver candlesticks, while overhead the canopy of black broadcloth is box-plaited wir 1 in lie uffi cm of CusUmi^ and Internal Rmv. euuc. At tUe time fixed lor the begluuiuc ot the rere mouie* in the hall, the above officers will lorm at the Mayor's office under the direction ot the Marshal, enter the hall and take the positions which will be assigned to them. Imincdiitely the ceremonies of removal will com mence and proceed according to the tallowing pro gramme: 1— Quartetfe and chorus from the “Messiah.” Lachrymose from “Mozart s Requiem,” by the Hadyn Association accompanied bv the Ger mania Orchestra. 2— Prayer by Bishop Neely. 3— Music by the Portland Band. 4— Chorus irorn the “Messiah.” Prayer from “Moses in Egypt.” Chora*, “Happy and Blest,” from “St. Paul.” “Then round about the Starry Throne,” from “Sampson.” Chorus from the “Hymns of Praise,” ‘by the Haydn Association while the remains are being taken from the hall. The public are particularly requested to continue m their places tiU the procession has left the build ing The hall will then be closed, but will be reopened as soon as it can bo arranged. The upper corridor will be reserved exclusively for the Haydn Association. As it is necessary that the regulations should be precise to avoid confusion, the committee appeal with confidence to ad persons to yield a chcertul compli ance with them and with all directions that may be given by any person on duty. Members ot the press desiring tickets will please call at the Mayor’s office at 5 o’clock n Monday. Per order of the Committee. Distinguished Arrivals.—The influx of visitors to our city jesterday, to witness and take part in the Peabody demonstrations was very large, and our hotels were filled almost to overflowing. The Falmouth was completely filled. Among the arrivals there we notice Gov. Chamberlain, Adj. Gen. Murray, D. Al den, Esq., Hon. J. W. Bradbury, Hon. J. W. Porter of the Executive Council, from Augus ta; Gen. Connor of Kendall’s Mills; General Beal of Norway; Hon. William Rogers, Bath; Messrs. Newton Talbot, N. Gilson, John Poor, S. A. Woods, S. E.

Merrill, Fitch Poole, Henrj’ Pollock, J. B. Foster, Francis Baker, William Sutton, jr., George H. Pier son, committee from the town of Peabody. Delegations lrom other places are expected -"J*_ Cow on a Rampage.—la a car of cattle that lame in on the Grand Trunk Railway Tues lay night was a cow that did not like her juarters, and who took the advantage to es :ape by .jumping over the railings that sur rounded her. Yesterday morning she was dis" covered at the corner of Newbury and India streets and attempts were made to capture tier. But the bovine, undoubtedly influenced by the proceedings of the late meetings in fa vor of “female rights,” resisted. One young man had his pants awfully torn and consider ed himself lucky to get off in that way. An other approached her with a car stake, intend ing to knock the animal over; but before he was aware of it he found that the knocking over was on the wrong side, and that he was the “under one” in the fight. Finally force enough was obtained to capture the cow, but she had to be thrown down, have her legs tied, and be placed upon a sled to be conveyed to the Boston depot where she wis put into a car for the West. Ward 2.—A meeting of the voters of Ward 2 was held in the 3d ward room last evening, for the purpose of making arrangements for the dedication of their new ward room. Chas. M. Rice, Esq., presided, and F. G. Rich was Secretary. Messrs. T. B. Tolford, Alexander Waterhouse, F. G. Rich, F. B. Barr and T. M. Fisher were chosen a committee to make all necessary arrangements for the occasion. It is understood that speeches from prominent persons will be made and there will be music by the Portland Band at the dedication. Run aw av.—While Mr. E. N. Perry was driving the horse of Mr. Chapman yesterday afternoon, the sleigh, a double one, slewed at the corner of Middle and Pearl streets, and up set, throwing out Mr. Perry and two gentle men who were in the sleigh with him—neither of whom were injured. The horse kept on through Pearl to Cumberland street, and up the latter to Casco street, where he was stop ped. The sleigh, which was a valuable one, was badly damaged, and the horse was some what injured. Visitors to the Monarch and Monitors. —Mayor Putnam has been notified that Capt. Commerell will open his ship (the Monarch) to visitors to-day after 10 o’clock. The monitors Miantonomah ami Terror can also be visited during the day at the times des ignated by their commanders. Tugs will be plying during the day from Atlantic wharf for the accommodation of visitors. Special Policemen.—At a meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen yesterday, F.. S. Bell, Joseph Trefethen, Robert Dow, W. H. Nelson, Richard Paine, Storer Libby, Bi ram Hodsdon, Robert Bell, Eben Armstrong and Richard R. Duddy were appointed special policeman for the time while the remains of George Peabody are in this city. Supreme Judicial Court.—The number of new entries in the docket of tbe Supreme Ju dicial Court, for the January term is only 40. The whole number of entries, on both dockets, is 522. Brief Jotting*. We iuvHe attention to tbe readings to be given thi* evtuiug in tbe ves'iy of tbe New Jerusalem Temple. Tbe lady is not a profess ional reader, but comes among us with an ex cellent local reputation in the art. She reads for a benevolent purpose, and we hope to see the spacious vestry of the new church well Ailed. It is rumored that Judge Davis, who has just been appointed postmaster, will shortly retire from the practice of law. Mr. Quincy, under Market Hall, has refused an offer of $100 for the huge slave pen lock and key taken from Libby Prison, now in his store. On Saturday the Mechanic Blues and Port land Light Infantry will report for duty to Col. John M. Brown, of the Governor’s staff', and will be under command of Col. B. tliroughou* the ceremonies. The Governor and staff es corted by these companies will proceed with the funeral car to Atlantic whart to receive the remains of the late Mr. Peabody. This morning, at 11 o'clock, Admiral Farra gut and staff, the Trustees of the Peabody Ed ucational Fund, and other dignitaries will visit the Monarch. Au attempt at sleighing was made by a great many people yesterday, but it was not very successful. Capt. Webster, of the Ma'ioniDg, cannot be excelled iu courtesy. His treatment of the press on hoarding his vessel yesterday was a model of kindness and politeness. Narrow Escape of a Woman and Child from Perishing.—Tuesday evening about 9 o’clock, Mr. John'M. Stevens, residing ou Merrill street, heard an uuusual noise as of some one iu distress. On going to the door he saw a person lying in the gutter and heard the cries of an infant. He asked what the trouble was, hut received no answer. Mr. Stevens stepped back to get a lantern, and when he went to the door again they were nowhere to be seen and he went back. Iu a few moments he heard a similar sound again, hut much louder. On going into the street he saw some oue running down Melbourne street towards the Promenade, he aroused one of his neigh bors, Mr. Noyes, when they gave chase, the woman running. They stopped her near the Promenade, and found her to he a very nice looking woman, apparently about twenty-five years of age, who gave her residence as on Brattle street. She was thinly clad, her breast bare to her waist, except a cloak thrown over her shoulders. The infant was well clothed but chilled through. It was very fortunate they were discovered as they were, lor it was very dark, and if they had reached the Prom enade their cries would probably never have been heard, as it is some distance from any house. Mr. Noyes and Mr. Bowie took them to the station. Officers of the Fleet.—The foljowiug is a complete list of the officers of the Monarch anil Plymouth: Monarch—Cant. John E. Commcrcll, V. C. anil C.

Mr. Dawes declared that in his opinion the three New England navy yards might be con solidated into one at New London, and that would swallgw up the Charlestown and Ports mouth navy yards and perhaps also the Brook lyn navy yard. Mr. Dawes of Mass., said with the great bur den of public debt, with tbe currency derang ed, with industry paralyzed in every depart ment, he called lor the House to pause and see whether some change ot policy might not re sult in a reduction ot the large expenditures contemplated by the bill.

Mr. Butler ot Mass, addressed the Commit tee as to the expenditures of the administra- tion, remarking that it was a discussion of grave tacts and figures which would prove to be anything but interesting except to those who desired to learn the exact condition ot President Grant's administration in regard to economy in the expenditures of public money. In order to make no mistakes he had reduced his remarks to writiog. lu commenting in his introductory paragraph on Dawes’ speech, to which his was a reply, Mr. Butler stated that so palatable was that speech to the Democracy that he understood that the Democratic mem- hers of the House had subscribed tor 200,000 copies of it. Mr. Wood of New York, interrupting, said that they had not subscribed for 2000 of tbe speech. Mr. Butler remarked that somebody had done it tor them. Mr. Eldridge of Wisconsin said that the gentleman was mistaken as to that. The Dern cratic members generally did such things for themselves. WASHINGTON.

Lebruary 11, 1868. dtf Central Railroad OF IOWA. ITS Seven Per Cent. Gold First MortgageBomls, Free of Government Tax, At 95 and Accrued Interest. MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE THE PUEMIUM IS STILL LARGE (as the Treasury has promised to buy thirteen mil lions in December) AND REINVEST IN THE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS ol the CEN TRAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH REINVESTMENT is while the Treasury is buying, and Governments are at a premium. THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH A WILDERNESS, where it would bare to wait years for population and business, but through the most thickly settled and product ive agricultural counties in the State, which gives each section a lar, e traffic as soon as com pleted. It runs through the great coal fields ot Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in dispensable and must be carried. It runs from the great lumber legions of the North, through 5 district of country which is destitute of this prime necessity. The mortgage is made to the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Co., of N. Y., and bonds can be is sued only at the rate of $16,000 per mile, or on ly half the amount upon some other roads. Special security is provided for the principal and for the payment of interest. The New York Tribune says “this is a splen did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal aid.” The New Y'ork Independent says, “We know the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the great and good works of the age. Its Direc tors include many of our leading hank presi dents and other gentlemen of high character, who have means enough to build two or three such roads out of their own pockets, so that ell its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that State what the New York Central is to this, except that it runs through a far richer coun try. VVe therefore recommend the Central Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in’ their value. The truth is, that a First Mortgage of $16,000 per mile upon a road running through such a country cannot be otherwise than safe. First Mortgage Bondi for so small an amount upon a road running through such a rich and already well-settled part ef Iowa, can well be recommended as a perfectly safe as welt as very profitable investment Pamphlets, with map, may be obtained, and subscriptions will be receiver! in Portland hir SWAN Sc BARRETT.
