A case of interest to all transportation companies was tried last week, at Cleveland, in which Hugh McFadden brought suit against steamer Niagara for the loss of his trunk while he was on board, a pas senger between Detroit and Cleveland. The counsel for the plaintiff claimed that he was entitled to re cover for the money as well as the wearing apparel and other contents "of -his trunk. 7 The defendants contended that the money in the trunk was not re coverable by the plaintiff agninst the boat, and; cited the decisions of the Supreme Conrt of the State of New.

York, and the 5th of Cushing (Massachusetts Reports) 69; and Story on Bailments. Judge Andrews, in a clear, elaborate, tand able charge to the jury, held, in pursuance of the New York and Massachusetts modern authorities, that money contained in an ordinary traveling trunk, and' taken along by the passenger ns baggage, was not recoverable in case of loss, any further than as de signed for traveling expenses that in order to create such liabilities on the part of a boat or transportation company, the unusual contents of such, trunk should be made known to the carrier, so that freight, demanded, might be received id proportion to the risk; that where a trunk, with such contents, was received, not as mere baggage, but as freight, the carrier would be liable, although be bad no notko the particular contents of the trunk but, that a mere gratuity paid by the passenger to the porter ns perquisite for taking care of a trunk did not, in the absence of any further proof, vary, the liability of the carrier. 4 Under this ruling, the jury, by the charge of the Court, returned a verdict for $309, the value of the wearing apparel, disallowing the $2j500, claimed for loss of money in the trunk. Tons of Oold In one Ship. Advices have been received in England Australia that the ship Dido is on her way, and soon to arrive in London, from that country, havjng on board extraordinary amount of 280,000 ounces, or pounds, troy weight, equal (at pounds to the' ton) to nearly twelve tons gold dust.

The Australian gohl coins twenty dollars to the ounce, and United Stares.jnint alue of this shipment, therefore, is five millionsi3tJiundred thoasnnd dollars: largest sum we remember' ever to have wen re ported on a single vessel. In 1850. when Ve had only monthly packets from California, the steamship Phtladetphia arrived at this port, in July, we believe, with, nearly three millions gold dust on board, and recently one of the West India steamers carried, to -London, in silver and gold, about $3.150,000. 1 he actual production of the precious metal of new and wonderful gold field has thus far proved fully up to the wildest calculations entered iuto last spring. iqe ascertained yield of the Melbourne Mines to the 31st of July amounted to fifty-three tones weight, or, in exact federal value, to twenty-five millions three hundred and twelve thousand eierht hun dollars; and at'jtho Sydney mines twelve-and- a-half millions dollars.

A further sum of Are millions dollars is setTdown to Adelaide, (South Aus tralia,) though taken thence, for the most part, by miners from the. district. The aggregate. therefore, stands thus: S3 25,312,800 At .....26 tons J2.600.000 At Adelaide ......11 tons. 6,000,000 4 Grand total.

OarPiifl4 IUilrM4t.n The above is the title of an article in the last Fayetteville Observer, closing with the admission that it has been Tery hastily written an admission a-bun Jantly substantiated by the occurrence ef the nu-- rnerous mistakes' and mistatcments which it makes with regard to oar coarse and position towards the projected Railroad from. Fayetteville to the Alines, in Chatham county. The Observer commences its article by a remark to the effect that we hare taken nearly a fortnight to deliberate before breaking ground on the subject of a Railroad from Fayetteville to the Mie'es. On torning to oar files, we find in oar paper of the 8tb, an article cpon this Tery subject, referring to the project, and quoting the language of the Observer. That paper of the 2nd, containing the first article upon the subject, reached us on Saturday, the 5th, so that, in fact, only two business days elapsed before we broke ground on the subject." Between two days, and nearly, a fortnight's deliberation, some difference is generally supposod to exist.

The Obserrer had evidently overlooked our first article, in which allusion is made to the project of Charleston to reach the N. C. Coal Mines by means of the North Eastern and Che raw Darlington Railroads, with such extensibe to the Mines as might be necessary and we farther alluded, in' the same article, to the proposed Railroad from Fayetteville to the mines, and the suggestion of the Observer, to make such Road a part of this Charleston scheme. To illustrate this last, we copied from the Observer as Now it has occurred to ns, that a railroad from this p'ace to the Coal Mines may be made a part of this Charleston scheme. This town is tut little out of a direct line between the terminus of the North Eastern road and the Coal Mines.

And if we build 40 miles of road, Charleston may be glad to be saved that much of outW. A railroad from the Manches ter road to this town would unquestionably lead to the completion of the long projected and much de sired road from this p'ace to Raleigh. And thus we should be brought into connection with the great Northern and Southern railroads, and that too by tho shortest route from North to South." la commenting" upon this, we evinced no feeling of opposition to the Rail Road from Fayetteville to the or to any other project which the people of Fayetteville might conceive to be promotive of their interests or prosperity. We merely remarked that The bearing of these things upon the prosper ity of our route was obvious, ind need not com' men ted upon neither was it necessary or proper for us to offer any suggestions upon' the subject. We had called the attention of our readers to it, and ma ny of tbem were infinitely more competent to grap pie with it than we That these projects vould have an important bear mz upon me prosperity ot our town ana route is plain, and we could not hare failed to call attention to tbem without being guilty of a palpable neglect of duty lo those interested.

In a subsequent article upon the subject of "Internal Improvements, which the Observer quotes as having been written with reference to the Charleston project, we do deprecate the absorption of the capital and energies of the State by the creation of rival lines through her, from North to South, while her Eastern and Western sections stand isolated from each other, without means of communication or facilities to bring the produce of the West to market, or to afford the East the advantage of the commerce arising from, the transfer, and shipment. Froperly speaking, there is no line, either made or authorized, connecting the East and' West, while through her from North to South, there will shortly be two lines, and two others vehemently sought after. We believe with, the Observer that there is unbounded room for improvement, but we also believe that Railroads can no more dispense with the rules of common prudence, than can any other business, and hope to escape the' penalty. We do not 'think, there is business enough for four competing lines running through the State nor do we think it the policy of the Legislature to encourage the making of su-b, while the real evil is for want of connection with the seaboard. If the Observer understands as as being in any way opposed to a 'charter for a road from Fayette ille to the mines, it is much mistaken.

If in the Legislature, and it up. we would vote for it. It is farther mistaken in supposing that oor hint about. a from Faison's to the mines was intended for the purpose of avoiding Fayetteville. It was simply to point out a certain resourco for reaching the mines without any further legislation, upon capital which could easily be sold.

We agree-with the Carolinian of SaturJay, that there is no sort of use in any wrangling between Wilmington and Fayetteville, nor do we think there will be any need of a Railroad further down than Fayetteville, the Capo Fear River being fully competent for the Coal trade. As for Charleston competition, it would seem almost as if nothing but in- sanity could suppose it feasible, or anything but opposition to as have induced anybody to build projects upon it so easily as the Observer has done. KrtH Crtla The present session of Legislature virtually at an end certainly so, so far as any further action on tke subject eYlnternal Improvements is concerned. With the exception of some unimportant plank road charters, nothing whatever has been done or will be done at this sessiou. Eigbtythousand dollars have been appropriated to the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation this being the proportion of the State's subscription to its increased capital, as authorised by the same bill.

Not another cent has been appropriated. All the Railroad projects, for extending the Central Railroad East to Beaufort Harbor or West te the Tennesaee'line, have failed for the present they will be carried through sometime in spite of opposi-. but considerable delay may be anticipated. The Raleigh and Gaston Road of 80 to 90 miles the Central Road 220 miles, and the Wilmington an I Raleigh of ICO miles, and a short Road connecting ttie Raleigh and Gaston with the Petersburg Road, are the only roads exclu ively within this State. About 60 mile of the Wilmington and Manchester, 16 to 0 of the Charlotte and S.
