Tlie Larjjo Robbery. The St. Louia papers conflrm our Cairo
correspondent's account of the heavy robbery on boarä the steamboat e Plus Ultra. By the Intelligencer of the 22d. it appears that Mr. John Grigsby, a citizen ot California, and.D. F. McClellan, who resides near Sibley, Fulton county, Missouri, were robbed on boafd the Ne Pins Ultra on Tuesday the 12th inst., of $11,400 ia money. They were passengers on the boat on their return from California. The robbery was perpetrated, rrobably whilst the boat was lying at the Levee at New Orleans, but was not discovered until an hour after she had left port lor this city. The money was in a trunk in their staie-room. which was broken open with a chisel, and the funds extracted, since which lime nothing has transpired that would lead to it3 recovery.. Messrs. Grigsby and McClellan came passengers in the Georgia to Havanna, in the Avon to Mobile, and reached New Orleans only a few hours previous to their starting for St. Louis. At New Orleans they exchanged their
gold' dust for gold, principally, consisting of
American Eagles and Sovereigns, and with it took passage with other returning emigrants for this city, on the Ad Plus Ultra Of the money lost $6,100 belonged to Mr. Grisbv, the residue to Mr. McClellan.
M. ButtHcwsou, Esq., Civil Engineer. We cheerfully give publicity to the following very interesting letter from M. Butt Hewson, Esq., to Judge Hall, President of
the Evansville and Illinois Railroad Co. Mr. Hewson is a Civil Engineer of the first order of talents his superior is not to be found in the United States. Any suggestion coming from such a source merits a candid consideration from the public. The experiment of cast iron rails on continuous bearings, he says, and says truly, has never been tested that it is worthy of being fairly tried, will at once be admitted by all.
If found to answer, as Mr. Hewson thinks it will, we need no longer be put to the trouble and expense of sending 10 Europe for iron lor
our railroads; as we can get it cheaper at our foundries ia our own country :
Tradc-Water Coal Klines. These extensive coal mines are situated in Crittenden county. Ky., and are now receiving that notice in the West and South their great importance so justly merits. The mi ning operations are conducted by the Hon. John Bell, of Nashville. We may, at least, imperfectly calculate the immense quantity of coal dug from these mines, when we look at the lact that at least sixty men are constantly engaged in mining. We believe we do not exaggerate when we state that fully
five thousand bushels of coal are dug Irom the Trade-water coal mines daily. Numerous depots for the sale, of this coal have been established on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the, most extensive of which are at Cairo, III., Paducah, Smilhland and the mouth of Tade-water, Ky. The coal has stood h. thorough test among steambontrrvn and Li found to ho better adapted to the purpose of making steam than any other coal which can be procured in the West. Owing to a slight impurity in it, it is probable this coal will never be so generally used by forg
ers and smiths as the Pittsburgh coal, but
thatit will, on account of its cheapness and fitness, be as extensively used among steam-
boatmen, millers and manufacturers, we are
well satisfied.
New York. March 14th. 1S50, 173 East Tenth Street.
Hon. Sam'l Hall Sir: I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
2nd instant, asking my advice and opinion as to the section of mil proposed for the road under your directions. . The enclosed tracing is a rough copy of the
section you sent me, transferred as nearly as
possible from the paper pattern. This section of rail has been found to work well on longitudinal bearings in the case of the Lon
don, and Croyden, and the Great Western of
England, the latter being perhaps 'lie best Railroad in existence. The weight proposed is the same as that used on the lormer of these roads ; and if I recollect rightly, the same as had been ued on the Great Western, before the introduction of the present enormous machinery. The weight required fer your road depends of course on the weiglofthe Engines, the speed, and other particulars
that you have omitted to state. The only answer I can give you on this head is s;mply, that on such a superstructure as you describe, if proper provision be made for the drainagrt of the road, I should consider your 43 U rail as equal in vertical strength to. at all eventsa Colb rail on bearings thirty inches apart, and as equal in lateral strength to perhapfi even a still heavier rail, supported at the same intervals. This difference of weight (12 lbs.) in the case of vertical strength is very considerable in practice: aft t a certain point, increase of rostnl yields a much higher increase of strength, seeing that the upper and lower web in one section, and the upper web in all sections, being the same or nearly
so for all weights, an increase of metal is an
ncrease chiefly of depth venical strength
varying as the square of the depth, a bar of
two inches deep will resist vertically as 4, while bar of one inch deeper, or three inches
deep will resist as 9 or to 2J times stronger.
You will observe hy the dotted lines shown
on the tracing, that I apprehend a weakness
in the toes of your rail, and as these must re
ceive all the lateral shocks of the traflia with
a leverage they would, probably, by curling.
permit the rail to roc!; oa its base the rail
would progress toward this shape .and
the'details, drainage, &c. of the track executed with proper skill, I have no doubt that your permanent way will be found smooth and durable. I will now take leave to call your attention to the question of a cast-iron rail ; and by urging its importance to the Railroad and Iron interests of the country generally, to ask you to lay down some fifty or sixty yards of it by way of experiment on your road. I enclosed in this a section of such a rail as I wou.ld recommend for this trial, the castings being made in 6 feet length, and made to breakjoint with the wrought iron caps. I look forward to the adoption of the cast iron on longitudinal bearings as a probable result in this
country; but in order to remove the prejudices against it as a material f r rails, would begin by first introducing it conjointly with wrought iron. My object in recommending this to you for trial, is the advancement of the iron, and consequently of the Raihoad interests of the country ; for while the British iron
masters command the trarket here, and protective duties are 6urrouuded with difficulties the best means jf keeping the manufacture of rails at home is by bringing into competition with the English wrought rails, an article of home manufacture, protected by an American patent-right. This right I will use for the exclusion of foreign rails, and thereby enable every furnace(if successful) to run raiU for the road traversing its own district. If you should feel called on as I have no doubt you will, to lay down on your line some few yards ofa track, for the purpose of an experiment so interesting to every railroad and district of the Union, I shall, "on learning your wishes, go into the necessary details for the execution of such a purpose. In conclusion, hoping that I may have done
something towards the advancement of your road, or have even to a small extent towards obliging yourself, I have the honor to be. sir, Your very obedient servant, M. BUTT HEWSON, Civil Engineer.
Rockpoet Store. We call the attention
of subscribers in the neighborhood of Rock
port, to the" Late arrival of Cheap Spring
Goods" advertised in to-day's paper by Mr. J
A. Morgan. Rockport, Ind. Mr. Morgan's 6tore is said to be the largest in that portion
of Indiana. lie has just been receiving large
additions to his stock of Dry Goods. Groce

suitable to the season, and can be purchased
on the most reasonable terms. Mr. Morgan's
sales are so heavy, and thus his own purcha

than many of the smaller establishments.
Give him a call and examine his new goods.
R was reported by passengers on the GiilLn Yeatman, that the Eostoua had beaten the Belle Key to Louisville. They run from New Orleans to Louisville, we have understood, on a bet often or nineteen thousand dollars. We don't believe in the principle
nor the practice of steamboat racing, for it is always accompanied with more or less danger, and compels the neglect of coast business, without, being productive of a single benefit.

We don't announce quite so many, but we have no doubt they are just es good men. Send on the names, as the public can best know who are the candidates by the columns of the Journal.
Circuit Court.
Yesterday the . case o Huntington vs.
Chandler, for assault and battery withintent to killv came off before our Circuit Court. For roost attrocic us and slanderous articles apnparinw in Huntington's paper, an assault
wa3 made upon hio according to the declaration which the whole respectable portion of this community, must have much regretted did not prove successful in ridding it of the plaintiff. -We have not time to comment on the trial, but shall perhaps take occasion to make aJIusioa to fhings.appertaining thereto hereafter. At the time of writing, the cassis in the hands of the Jury. P. S. ;.'We learn that the Jury found Mr. Chandler guilty of assault and battery, and fined him ten dollars. It has been told us. that the Jury fined him this for uot having
bhot the va-rabond, and had a great notion of
fining him fifty dollars for the same negligence. ' ' ' " . s r, m ... To tue Ladies. Mr. Defoe advertises
that he has just received a large and beauti-' ful assortment of Ladies Shoes of all kinds and qualities, among which are varieties of elegant and fanciful styles. Mr. D. ha3 just opened this department, in connection with his Hat and Cap Store, and . has been very particular in the selection of his 6tock. To the Gentlemen, he oners a large assortment of Hats of the latest styles manufactured to order, with . Boots and Shoes. An examination of hia stock will prove satisfactory.
though perhaps this progress might be very trifling it would still tell very seriously on the stability and duration of the track. The danger of the rail sinking into the bearer is also increased by losing an equality of resis
tance at all point e of the base; and as the
same causa diminishes the resistance of the bearer, one element of strength being therefore reduced, the whole mut bseome weaker
vertically. For these reasons I would sug
gest an increase ot metal at the toes, be it
ever so little and as I know no better place of obtaining this increase, I would pair uway as shown by the dotted lines, the necessary quantity from the under 6ide of the upper web. I should prefer spiking thro' the foot of the rail, even tho' obliged (if possible in this case) to counter-sink the heads at one side. As the
hook-headed 6pike cannot give as much sta
bility as a through-spike I would recom
mend that at all events a through-spike be
used on the outside web of the base. The
spikes had better be made to attenuate thus on either side ol the foot, In order to increase the number of fixed points. The

ARRIVAL OF THE N I AGAR A . Halifax, March 22. The Niagara arrived Thursday night. the political news is of no importance. Liverpool, March S. The cotton market during the past fortnight has been dull, and holders were compelled to submit to a decline of 1-Sd on all kinds below fair Orleans. No change in Mobile or Orlems. Quotations fair Orleans, 6 id; Mobil, 62; Upland 6g. The sales for the two weeks were 53,350 bales ; of which, speculi.tors took 12,000 and the trade purchasing sparingly. At Havre the markets were very quiet
The market being very e'ack. prices had given way on most articles. Indian corn had declined 2d per quarter for while and 6a9d on yellow. Best Western canal, Baltimore
and Ohio flour had declined Is 6d per bbl. The mar'cet for provisions rather improved. Beef in good demand at 65s, old 72aS0s New hams were dull. Shoulders were in better demand at improved rates. Lard ia unchanged. The demand for coffee was limited. Holders and speculators were disinclined to act until after the great sales in Holland. Considerable business done ia Porto Rico sugar. Sales cf Tobacco lor the month, 2,774 hhds, about half of which was Kentucky stemmed; prices advanced during the month from Jdc Id per lb on Virginia and Kentucky stemmed.
London, March 8. The market had slightly improved. Consols closed to-day at 9S for money, and C6 for account. American sicurities were in demand at improved rates. U. S. sixes 107J al08. Pennsylvania fives 93a94. The Niagara's news was delayed by a break in the wires near St. John's, or else it
would have reached here yesterday morning. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are not satisfactory; the news possesses no interest commercially. The political affairs of England have but little of special interest. Nothing eventfulin
apolitical sense has occurred in Parliament. Lord John Russell has given notice that it is in contemplation by the Government to abolish the office ol" Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, together with the Vice Regal Court of Dublin, the i itention being to have such affairs managed by the Home Department, and a Secretary for Ireland. The Canadian annexation movement excites but little attention. Collins's new line of steamers commanded a large share of attention and good will. Lord Palmerston in countenancing the
Greek blockade, is severely commented upon
by all the English papers.
The Russian Government has presented
an energetic remonstrance against the pro
ceedings ol the English government, and the
public opinion is general that the Czur will
give the Greeks efficient support.

middle of each rail might be spiked down ad
vantageously with stronger epikes than the others with the view by making this a fixed
point of saving, at all events these middle fast
enings from the loosening, consequent on the expansion and contraction of the metalthe
expansion and contraction being rnadeby this means to take different directions cn either
side of these stronger fastenings.
In reference to the superstructure I would
suggest that in order to distribute the resis
tance equally, the fewer knots you have in the timber bearings next the rail, the better.
There can be very lit tie danger of 3-our road
sinking into the superstructure, and conse
quently amongst the other ad vantages ol such
x system you effect a great saving on that ex
pensive item of maintainance -packing.'
In order to secure this advantage more effec
tually you must provide for the drainage of the road this being one ol the chief grounds of objection to the continuous bearing. Ordinary ingenuity will suggest the best means
for this purpose, adapted to your particular road : if the route furnish brush-wood, a layer of this under your timbers will help out the drainage if coarse gravel be convenient, a few inches of that around the timbers will answer the purpose. I would impress on you. generally, that the duration of rail, timber, earthwork, plant, machinery, depends much more than is generally supposed on the drainage of a road. Your superstructure is highly judicious as a means of ultimate econonix ; your rail as altered is probably sufficiently strong for the road, inasmuch as you will run it with the light Engines, used generally in the West ; and if the materials be selected with judgment, and
