I NEW ORLEANS, May 4. , -A shooting affray occurred here last night, t between John Barrett, local reporter for the < Picayune, and ex-spec lal police officer Smith. The } latter was dangerously and the former slightly , wounded. Ex-special officer Deport was shot and dangerously wounded during the anray. The difficulty was occasioned by animadver? sions m the Picayune on the Special Metropolitan Police, and by the publication of a scurrilous ctr ~ Cul ar on Barren by Smith. The counsel for the Jackson Railroad Company have brought salt against Henry S. McComb and associates for $1,000,000 damage, growing out of , the recent contest for control of the New Orleans, i Jackson and Great Western Railroad.

Intelligence was received yesterday from Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia, that additional funds I i had been raised lhere for the sufferers by the 11 Richmond disaster. All of the city offices In Baltimore were closed I j yesterday, and the flags were at half-mast, in [ j sympathy with the Richmond mourners. Taylor (Democrat) has been elected city treas? urer of St. Louis by 347 majority. | J Two hundred and fifty Chinese laborers are coming, via the Cape or Good Hope, direct to New | j Orleans. The fight between Joe Coburn and Mace will be postponed on account or a requisition against the former for alleged robbery. < ( URE* i soi ES 11 1 < THE NARROW GAUGE ABROAD. The plan of building railways of only be? tween two and thr^fe feet gauge ls now at? tracting great attention among European en? gineers. A line In Wales, called the Festinlog railway, has been operated with locomotives for six years past with a gauge of 1 foot 11$ Inches, and recent Investigations show that it 11 Mis not only been economical in the matter of construction, bat also in its running expenses, i Therotal length of the line, which extends J from Portmadoc to the Festinlog slate quarries, i ls 144 miles. Its total cost, Including a mile l" of breakwater, haifa mlle of tunnelling, and t no end of rock cutting and embankments, c and with seven locomotives and one thousand jj cars, has been only ?6000 per mile; and on s this cost lt pays 12} per cent annually. The regola? speed of trains is limited to 12 miles I per hour, but they have been nm at 30 miles, ? and contd be run If required at 40. The line t ) is full of sharp curves-some with a radius of 1 ?20 feet-and of grades of 1 in 80. The success t of the narrow gauge in this instance has led I torts adoption in Norway with satisfactory , resifts, and it 1B proposed to introduce it into f Russia. It seems as though. American rail. [ way-engineers might also study it with profit, t THE GREAT MEN OP EUROPE. J Tj^re seems to be a general indisposition ; am6ng the prominent men of Europe. Glad- L' stone has not given tip, but Bright has, and his, rotound form ls racked to the extent that o heraedltates permanent retirement. Guizot J is in poor health, and is of an age when sick- ti ness is al Trays dangerous;'and at last Bismarck * has gelded to the Increasing infirmities which e havf clung to him ever since Sadowa. His J retirement to his country seat in Pomerania, j? an/the fact that a consultation of physicians { has been called, indicate the severity of the ailment which has pursued him vigorously for^everal months, during which he has been retiring from public life as far as he could I p without actually giving up the direction of J affair?. Bismarck ls comparatively a young man, having reached only the commence? ment of his fifty-sixth year. Von Beuat is five years his senior, and so is Gladstone. But since Cavour and Palmerston passed away he has stood as the most prominent and the most successful statesman In Europe. His purpose of forming a united Germany was one of the grandest that could be conceived, and it has been most ably conducted. He has laid the foundations safe and strong, and should failing health or a greater disaster pre? vent him from consummating the work, the German nation willstill have cause to look up to him as one of their greatest bendarra. THE ARCADE RAILWAY. The passage by the New York Legislature of the bill authorizing the construction of an Arcade railway under Broadway gives much satisfaction to all but the Broadway property owner?. The arcade plan was highly recom? mended by some of the ablest engineers in the country, and is believed to be perfectly feasi? ble. It proposes the excavation ot another street under Broadway, at tbe depth of twenty feet, and the laying of four railway tracke, two for up and down cars for way passengers, and two for through trains to Harlem and back. There is some fear that tbe Governor will kill tbe bill with a veto, but should he approve it, tbe new Broadway can, and probably will, be constructed in a lew years. The chief difflcul. ty will be in raising capital to start it. The whole work will cost at least .$20,000,000, and half of this sum must be subscribed before any work is done, except below Wall street. Among the incorporators, who number about sixty, are John A. Griswold, Benjamin F. Dun? ning, Philip Caswell, Frank Trask, Augustus Schell, Henry Clews, Homer A. Nelson and several other men of wealth and energy. The fare shall not be more than iii teen cents by the through trains, nor more than ten cents by the cars carrying way passengers. NAPOLEON AND THE FRENCH PEOPLE. On Sunday next the Emperor Napoleon makes an appeal once more to the French peo? ple for a formal approval of his administration, and a confirmation of his dynasty. On the 8th of May a Plebiscitum, or popular vote, will be taken on the new form of constitutional gov? ernment prescribed by the Senatus Consul tum, or decree of the Legislature, passed on the 20th of April. The wording of the Plebiscitum is such that whether the votes say "yes" or "no" to it, they express themselves in favor of the continuance on the throne of the Bona? parte family. lu consequence of this peculi? arity, the Red Republicans have decided not to vote at all on the question. As, howeve r, the army is to vote, and will ot course vote as the Emperor pleases, it is probable that the measure will be carried by a very respectable show of numbers. A DREADFUL MURDER. Captain T. A. Haltsclaw. residing eigbt miles above Greenville Courthouse, was bru? tally murdered on Sunday evening, the 1st instant. He and his wife walked out after tea some five hundred yards to a neighbor's house, md had started home about 9 o'clock P. M.; they were going through a small strip or ivoods, where it was dark, and Captain Halts :!aw was struck by some unknown person n the head with an axe. He fell against his y Lie, which alarmed her, and she ran on", ? creaming, and aroused the neighbors, and hey hurried to the place and found the cap- . oin dead. There was one cut above the eye, vblch knocked out his brains, and a cut in he back of the head abo11 lour inches deep- 1 ;itlier of which would ha ? e killed him instant- ; y. His wife was so f<:.& jtened that she could , ?ell nothing about the affair, except that the murderer was a large man; but could not say 1 whether he was, white or b.'ack. No clue to 1 ;he murderer. i UNDER THE THAMES. A Marvellous Triumph of Engineering BkiO. The new tunnel under the Thames, which mt three years ago was laughed at as an idle icheme, and condemned as a wanton waste of money, ls ready for public ase, and will be turned to practical purposes when one or two necessary formalities have been complied with. Mr. Barrow, tbe engineer of the work, has kept his promise to Inlah the undertaking in a year, and within the cost ef ?16,000. The nature of the scheme ind its progress have been described from Eime to time. Without ceremony, numerous privileged visitors yesterday "inaugurated" .he trame. A little beyond the inland' reve? nue office on Tower-hill an exaggerated clnd of Iron sentry-box, rising apparently ont of ;he wagons and carts which are occasionally slnstereu on this historical eminence, guided the itranger to the spot or which be was in quest. *. sm*;U, open-mouthed crowd, mostly of the {enos ragamuffin, pressed around, the liveried lentinel to whom the gates or the dark abyss irere entrusted. Some of the gentlemen who had leen provided with tickets approached timidly, leard the rattle or the machinery, glanced nerv }usly at the black pit which they would have to iescend, and hastily retreated. It need hardly oe added that these touching exhibitions of anx ,ety were ludicrously groundless. Indeed, should the Subway turn out to be as financially prosper- 1 jos as it is saTe and easy, the shareholders will l socke*, a handsome dividend, nie mysterious- ? ooKlng thoroughfare admits of a very brier de? scription. It ls a well-constructed tubular Iron t jridge, about a quarter or a mlle long and seven feet Tn diameter, sunk bodily lr o the bed of the . , Thames, so as to be snugly embedded in the Lon Ion clay through its entire distance. Nowhere is | < the Subway nearer than 22 feet to the water, ind in places it is as much as 50 feet distant-an mportant tact to bear in mind In comparing the Subway with the old Thames Tunnel, over the irch-crown ot which there were here and there >ut roar feet to the water. The Subway, in point )f fact, dips at the rate ot one in thirty. At pres? ent the Tower Bill station at the one end and the 1 Tooley street station at the other, are more useful t han ornamental, especially when the cage by ( ivhich passengers are taken down ls at the not? ion. We use the word "cage" because of its pe - :nllar resemblance to that familiar object or the 1 Dining districts, but it is in reality rather a nicely . madded little apartment seml-clrcular In shape, 1 md with cushioned seats for roar or six. into his the passenger enters and the doors are sb nt. I c lhere is a* rumble, a rattle, a consciousness of < iteady downward motion, and an intention, per laps, to remark to your neighbor that it is all rery pleasant, but any such reflection is nipped n the bud by the termination or the journey, vhlch has occupied about the time lt would take 0 eount a dozen. The distance ls only Arty feet. ( rhrough a small walting room you enter a long, t ow carriage, with seats for seven each inside. t 'he signal ls given, the drum begins to revolve, he wire rope twines swiftly round lt, the pretty mnibus answers to the strain, and In about sixty econds the subterranean passage or the Thames ias been accomplished. Safety ls secured in the hafts by on unusually powerful clip; In the Sub ray by the cingle line of tramratls upon which ?llisloa ls Impossible. We walked through the 11 arrow, dark road yesterday, absolutely dryshod, | \ nd without any inconvenience from defective 'entilatitm. At times, a listener in the centre of he Subway can hear strange noises, said to be he reverberations ot paddles beating the river ? ver head, and the sounds or hammering and humping on board vessels. This Subway is im- i )ortant, as the establishment of a principle which nay exercise a powerful Influence upen our c metropolitan locomotion. There is even reason t br believing that before long it will be applied ip and down the river to an extent but little maglned just now. The next Subway will proba ?ly We between St. George's Church, In the borough, and Cannon street. The Tower-hill ares at present are Axed at a peuny and two *nce, but they will probably have to be reduced ty one-hair. _ _ " t -Over five thousand persons landed in the City 1 t r New York one day last week, and at this mo oent ten steamers are preparing to leave Liver 001 with another army of six thousand Ave hun red emigrants-all, or nearly all. bonnd for the ame sheltering wharr or Castle Garden, and no loubt destined to be shortly reinforced by what ver vessels are now at sea on their way west ? rard. The majority or these are probably rrom England and Ireland, since Germany has her own 1 lue or steamers. The Cork Examiner states that J our steamships had just left that harbor, in one t reek, with about a thousand emigrants for Lmerica, and laments that the coercion act will mly have the effect of increasing those depar ures or the people, ir "solitude" mav be called ?peace." as in the times of Tacita?, ireland will irobably be quiet enough very shortly. The con Inued emigration rrom that country, arter the receding exodus of miltons, is an extraordinary pectacle in the social history of the present age. ?Harrtco.
