The Central seems, however, to be no longer adyoc yany important class or number of persons, and the struggle, therefore, rests between those who. are advocating the Northdrn and the Western routes, ‘The Hon, Mr. Mitchell, the Minister of Fisheries and Minerals, has recently spoken at several influential Inectibgs on the subject of the proposed j routes, and we gather {rom his remarks that the Northern one in his opinion and in every respect the best route to be adopt- jed. lis iden seems to be that the line | should start from Riviere du Loup and follow Major Robinson's route to the cros- sing place on the Miramichi River, then following a straight course jn a south- {easterly direction, intersect the St. John | and Shediac Railway about forty miles from the former city ab or near Apohaqui, ‘There ean be no question that, looked at froma military pointofview, the Northern | route, being the farthest removal from the boudry line separating the provinces trom the United States, is the best, but there is a question Whether it is the prefarable route as compared with the Western when their several advantages, commercially regarded, ave taken into Consideration, Iu the present position of a tis, per- haps, Uinecessiry to express any positive opinion as to the most desirable route, but the tollowing particulars ¢ 1 from the most recent authentic sourees, will, doubtless, be read with interest ;— \ Shore is a distince of 636 miles, and by the Western route 672. The number ot miles Lo be built in the proyinee of Que- bee by the Northern route would be 167, in New Brunswick 238, and in Nova 8:0- tia 80, ‘The number of miles to be con- structed id Quebee by the Western route would be 60 iniles, in New Brunswick 280, andin Nova Scotia 80. The chief argu ment ih favor of the Northern route is mleged military advantages, and is pretty well understood that these taken into consideration by the Britis Goyerument when giving guarantee for the interest on the money required to build the line, itis highly probable thatthe road will go by the north shore of New Bruns- wick, There are many, however, who stren- uously advocate the adoption of the Western rout, and propose that the home authorities be rehuested to consent thut the guarantee shall be transferred to this rout, Lhose in favour of the Western line produce some convincing statisties in support of their yiews. ‘Thoy cite the fact that the north shore line is distant from the more populous settlement of New Brunswick and {fom her principal cities, John and Fredrricton, and will pass through a thinly scttled country to the viver St. Lawrence. It is further urged by the advocates of the Western line that by this rout St. John. city, the commercial centie of New Brunswick, would be one hundred and ty-four miles, and Fredericton, the capital of the provinces, two hundred and eighty miles hearer Ottawa then by the Northern rout, It is moreover, maintained that the large section of Nova Scotia embracing the couatios of Yarmouth, Digby, Annapolis, King cand’ Hants, witht Gaily ine ‘of steamers crossing the Bay to St. John, | would be brought into easy communication Li complicity in frauds on the Revenue, amount- From Quebee to Ualifix by the north'ifharsk uy a, ir iustreless try it, if none of | capital of this ppovinee, be only 470 miles from the city Cfeweticc, while by the Northern rout the distance would be 771, Wit nedion themembers for Qubce may take in regard tg tha matter we kno not; butitsveins tebe the general impres | sion that the British Government lit : m ne jae the late Election.

Ture brickmakers of Manchester have earncd tor themselves very nearly as bad a reputation a» the sawgrinders of Shef- icld, ‘Phe evidence given before the Trades Union Commission in Manchester painfully impresses us with the low in- tellectual and moral status of the Buglish working man. ‘This evidence shows us hat associations of working men_ hire jrufians, apparently without seruple, to idestroy th@ property of their masters, and workmen and others who, for some cause to them, ‘The Manchester brick-makers have, i¢ seems, cayricd matters with a h hand.

It he presumed to do so half a dozen scoundrels would pay his sumable about it, and destroy every brick cither manufactured or in process of manufacture about the premises.

The report of the Ritual Commission has been published. We liave not seen the document itself, but we have read several articles upon ity It gives very little encouragement to the Ritudlists and recommenis clergymen to adhere to the ancient and established usages. This is sensible advice, which we would like to see taken by the clergymen. The number of vestments sought to be intro- duced by the ritualists on the plea that they were not prohibited by an old act of Parliament is astonishing. The very names of many of them are new to most readers. Wery few of us, whether Epis- eopalians or not, have ever heard of albs, | copes, chasubles, dalmuties, tunicles, and bivettas. Yet itis about such things as these, together with ornaments and prac- tiees equally unfamiliar to the ordinary churchman, that a large party in the Church of Wzgtind are contending as if the salvation of uien’s souls depended upon their beingagaiu brought into use. This milinery and uphelstery business is doing a great déal of harm to the Church of Eugland, It gives its enemies oeca- sion to triamph, and what is worse, gives serious offence to many worthy pious persons within its pale. It is our opin- ion that any clergyman who has a proper sense of the importance of his function would not waste his time and expend his energies about matters which,considercd in themselves,ere hardly worthy a second hought. We are convinced that the ritual party are more noisy than influen- tial, and that in a few years very few will know that it ever existed. ‘lhe Commission met nineteen times, The Peace Congress met this year at Geneva, Garibaldi, of all men in the world, was there, Ife made some speeches in public places that savoured far more of the soldier than of tho quaker. There are many who say that a good sharp war is the best means of securing peace, this perhaps is Garibaldi’s idea, who, when he attends a Peace Congress exhorts his hearers to take Rome and de- throne the Pope. ‘The only means of effecting this is by an insurrection and invasion, People don’t take cities and dethrone sovereigns, while they at the same time keep the peace.
