We congratulate our people on the
happy results of the recent efforts of
General Speight, the President of the
Waco Tap Railroad, in behalf of that
enterprise.
Prom a personal interview with him
we gather important information that
our belief that the speedy com-
pletion of the road to Waco is now a
fixed fact, provided the people will
come forward in a proper spirit atid
sustain him in his efforts. Through his
instrumentality the incipient difficulties
with our neighbors in Falls county
have all been amicably arranged,-and
the people of that county go heart in
hand and shoulder to shoulder in push-
ing forward with vigor this great en-
terprise. He has labored for two weeks
efficiently and vigorously in the city of
Galveston to make a contract which
wül insure the effect of the effort.
The Directory met to-day at 10
o'clock and in a very harmonious ses-
sion approved every thing which the
President has done. The contract is
made with competent and reliable per-
sons, and the work will be vigorously
inaugurated in forty days with a large
force and put through with alacrity.
If we do not get a road now it will
be our own fault. We must simply
come forward, pay up promptly our
taxes and our subscription, thus enab-
ling the President to comply with his
part of the contract and thus insuring
the road. : Vvl7..'H
We know of our own personal know-
ledge that General Speight has labored
~-j| | feithfnfly for the
earnestly and _
of this great work, and needs, what he
richly deserves, only the spmpathy and
backing of the people to succeed,

the paramount anxiety of Parliament
to pay reasonable regard in legislation
for each of the three kingdoms, to the
special circumstances by which it may
be distinguished, and to deal in open
principles of impartial justice with ail
interests and all portions of the nation.

GENERA!, LEGISLATION.
"The Queen congratulates you on
having brought your protracted labors
on the subject of bankruptcy and im-
prisonment for debt to a legislative
conclusion, which is regarded with
just satisfaction by the leading classes
and the general puhlic. The law
framed for the better government of
the endowed schools of England will
render the resources of these estab-
lishments more accessible to the com-
munity and mofe efficient in their
important purpose. In the removal of
the duties on commerce the Queen
sees new evidence of your desire to
extend industry and commerce, and
enlarge those supplies of food which
our insular position encourages and
requires. aggg|
The Queen trusts the measures for
the purchase and management of tele-

cilitate the great commercial and social
object of rapid, easy, and social com-

effect of irish church disestablishment.
London, Aug. 11.—The Times in an
article on the abolition of the Irish
Church disestablishment, says whatever
its practical results may be, the meas-
ure is the boldest and greatest act of
modern legislation. One consequence
of the measure has been the withdraw-
al, by the authorities of Trinity Col-
position to the propo-.
} Catholics and non-
conformists to fellowship. The Irish
bishops have shown good sense in
agreeing that the laity as well as the
clergy shall confer in the election of

NEWPORT. |
"
A correspondent writes that there are
quantities of merely pretty girls to be
seen, but real classic beauty is a rare
article in Newport this season. At the
Oceafa House reception Saturday even-
ing, several hundred persons were
present, with quite a sprinkling of for-
eigners and uniforms. We have a live
lord, one marquis, four counts, and a
dozen others with long drawn out
titles. A couple of French ladies, per-
haps, attract as much attention, if not
more, than any others out here. They
are rather pretty, and have fine figures,
but their beautiful blonde hair has most
certainly been through the bleaching
process. The handsomest toilette dis-
played at the last reception was worn
by a New York lady, and composed of
the loveliest shade of green satin with
point lace trimming on the bottom of
the skirt, and on the front en tablier.—
A point bertha covered the low body,
and the hair was done low in the neck,
with diadem of pearls, also pearl neck-
lace, ear-rings and bracelets. Another
was of blue satin, with a dozen rows
of white satin pipings, and white satin
overdress, cut square in the neck. Col-
ored silks of eveiy shade with white
over-dresses are much worn; white
Llama lace in the berthas, sacques and
over-dresses is also very fashionable,
and for very young ladies pure white
toilettes seem to be preferred. Many
sashes are eéen tied across the breast,
on the shoulder, with loops and ends
hanging down the back, which is an
agreeable change from the long
worn method of simply tying them
at the back of the waist, baby fashion.
It is quite the thing for every gentle-
man, and ladies too, to be seen with a
small cluster of flowers in the butten-

adopted for the prevention ot sicknoss. Sew-

rarely attempted in the country. Heaps of

domestic cleanliness, the great antidote to
febrile diseases, ws sadly neglected. It is not
so now. Wise laws, philanthropic institu-
