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. _ _

-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.
