The great house of Rothschild ti: Solis tendered for the whole amount ofthc £2- 000,000 lutercoloulal Railway Loan, and obtained £1,926.800 at 1050. Alter the al- lotment was made there were transaction cit the Stock Exchange in the security. the closing prices being 107‘ to 109. The New York Albion. in commenting upon this tact, says:—

“ It would thus up earthnt the Rothsv cliiids have succce ed in securing the lion‘s share oi the loan, and it will there- fore probably not be quoted at much lower figures at present; or tie long as so wealthy a house its tllu Rothschild holds niatecn twentietlis of tile stock issued, and con- tihues to have conlldence in the stability- at our rising North Atncrican lnttioil. This is all in the right direction, and tends to convince us that Canada need never again pay 8 pcrcent,in the London money nntrket tor money, so long as the country has judicious and competent Finance Ministers to manage her nil‘airs. When—- or even before—tile liltcrcclouiztl Road is finished, London capitalists will, we hope, —-and also beh‘crc—bc called on the sub scribcr for forty or titty millions potlilds stcarliug, in place of two millions, with a view to building an Atlantic and Pacilic Railway; and we are coililtlenent that \vllcr the ltotlischilds and men like them, once awake to the subject, that that soul will be qtiitc as readly taken tip, as is the present small oil‘et‘iug.

" It is also encouraging to observe the rise in the London value oi ordinary Cana- tliari securities. The 6 per cent. bonds, which were quoted as lo v as 68 in the Spring of 186.5, are iiotv quoted ill: 101 to led—ex dividend. In tact Canada‘s timin- cittl prosperity—if her itifuirs are butjudi- ciously iilanugctl—hus only just begun."

the following: -“ A gentleman from the neighborhood of Carthage. Team, gives us some particulars connected with the re- cent discovery cfitrobber‘s cave, on tllo river batik, a few miles distant from this place, which have not hitherto been pub- lished. He says the discovery was lirst made by a party at small boys, who were bathing or fishing Oil the bank of the river opposite the cave. Their attention was attracted by seeing baskets lotvered by means of ropes irom the rocks above. When they observed this, the children con- cealed themselves, and patienty watched for further developments. The baskets continued to ascend and descend, and il- ually, when night was nearly come, a sus- picious looking man came out of the cave, got into one 01 these baskets, and was drawn to the top of the precipice. Tliul. night the boys imparted this iziiormution to the men in the neighborhood, and early the next morning tllc place was besieged by persons anxious to learn something more about this extraordinary place. blast. of these persons were armed and ready for any sort oi wild adventure. Upon i'eniov~ ing a pile of old logs, at large opening in the rocks was discovered, and into this place a party of then at. once ventured to go, while others remained outside on watch. Those who went in found that the opening led to an immense cave, of whose existence hotllihg was previously known by helical people in that locality. This cavern the men explored but a short. distance until they came to a point which had evidently been used as a human babi- tation. and, no liorrlblo as it may seem, was still the home of a human creature. Alter finding a few articles at clothing. some washing utensils. couple at line bed- quilts, ti mattress. and three or four old guns, they were startled by the groans at a human voice coming treat a. dark recess in the cavern.

The melt. determined upon sitting the mystery to the bottom, went with a light ii the direction oi the sound. and can ini- agiho their horror on finding the emaciated and almost lifeless i'erut oi a man stretched upon a. heap of straw and securely tied with ropes. lie was immediawa taken from his terrible prison house. and convey- ed to the residence oi Mr. Owen Long, three miles distant from the cave, where he was at once provided with medical atten- tion and the nourishment his condition re- quired, As yet it has not been possible to get. trout him the awful secrci 01 his grave- liku prison house.

The Committee to which was referred the subject of tile reciprocal commercial relations which ought to exist between the United States and the Dominion at Canada and the other Provinces, respcttl'ully report glut the time allotted does not permit it full consideration of the unified. to collect the necessary statistics or to CX'IlI-I' inc cvcry bearing of the dill'crcnt policies which have been tried by the two countries. General considerations can only be thought of and there cannot be discussed at length.

The valley oftlie St. Lawrence, aligns the great lakes, lie n the gentrul o' lNL '0 which the comnierc not only of this entire valley and of the maritime provinces, but in; the valley oi'the Upper Minislippi naturally taken. The people who inhabit all on. re-. gion, for tile most part. speak the Hunt! lan- guage, their institutions are mostly similar, |licir natural productions whether of the iicld or of the forest, except an infected by climate, are alike, and the boundary is an inviniblp line which must be oltcti crushed by the track of commerce. The advantage of reciprocal iii- tercoursc is :bvlouv for the reason that the area for commercial enterprise and c this kchi for manufactured goods and u'gt‘ allure productions itro' enlarged. The political rela- tiolis are diil'cretit, but the pi'evtticnbgyttcui of law and the general character of the legis- lation is the some. The ilnuncial burden of the two countries in proportion to tll'c'ir rev sources are probably not very different. Nei- ther power has ally reason to berjculouc oi‘tllc other, and it would seem that unrestricted commercial intercourse would colind to the general benefit. Labor, whether skilled ‘or unskilled, receives about equivalent rewards, and whatever diil'crcncc there may be in this respect is likely to be rapidly adjusted by vea- sohs of the easy transit ni'tliosc who perform the labor front one country to not icr. Ten years of reciprocity have been tried—from thin; to lsué—ahd the sum of imports and‘cx- ports was much more than duub '- The treaty was abolished, and the celnmc Bill! the tercuurac is shrinking to its old proportions. Why not then renew the rule of reciprt'ndty‘!

A more real dillicnlty might perhaps arise in adjusting excise and inlpust duties so as substantially to correspond in the the countries. This would be neces- sary to prevent the feeling which would mice on one side or the other il'ulanaiiicturcrs were attracted to cross the boundary line by the cheaper cost of living. or of new litatel-lals’in order by returninl,r the goods the better to

The great reduction of American tuxmion, by which cxciscs arc thereafter to be levied al- "103! entirely upon spirituous liquors, tnbncco and it few other articles of indispensable nc.-. cesaity, and the probability tlilit iniposts upon many imported articles can be rednecdjzu to no per cent., lead in the conclusion that thew need be no permanent material difference it the two goVernnienu will in good i'ittllatteu t to settle the dclulll upon the mul- ot‘eqnn‘hw.

Tile objection coming from agricultural dis; tricts that the competition of grain growers will be ruinous to American farmers, does not set-in to be well founded, for the reason that the prices at wheat nlitl other grain in the European markets to which both sides of the St. Lawrence have equal access , govern the prices on this continent. This objection; its: applied to the raising oi'cuttle is even more untenable if made in the United Stalls for the reason that the difference in climate 3 in favor of the American produce.

The objection coming. or supporcd'io come from Canada, growing out of the mistaken supposition that the treaty was abolished upon the idea that the commercial inwrosuiefitliu Provinces would thereby be compelled to favor Annexation, requires the explicit declaration that there is no party or not of men iii the United Stitth who demand or would unit-cut.V to annex the Canada against the will of the' peeplu of that Dominion. l'olitlcttl question- are not to be regarded in thin dilcuslion. America has not and will action-t money f political or military reason: in the valley of the St. Lawrence, and will probably continue to laugh at there who do; but this is no rea- son why our intercourse, found to be niutunll beneficial, should not he again renewed: The reason for giving the notice to chromite the treaty is believed to have grown out ot'iito late civil war, the imposition or very heitVy duties and cxcises having become, M mu be- lieved, a necessity, and thew having produced some inequalities which need no longer exits. An incidental benefit to both ceuntrie N ‘ rp- uewlng the treaty will be the reinovafu‘p that Ipcck of war which is supposed to be - tuined in the question of tile fisheries; Tic committee have therefore agreed upon and recommend the adoption of the accompanying resolution.
