It is pleasing to be able for a moment to abstract our thoughts from the old world, rent in pieces by faction and devristiitedby the agon- cy of war, which our im roved civilisation hns only armed with at terrors and rrrore searching and inevitable means of destruction, to that vast continent whose happy destiny it is to be so re the Atlantic from the crirrres and intrigues which ages of endless war and confusion have left ass is cy to the more ancient nations of Europe. Vhilo we have been maturing our instruments of destruction and weldin together the Western nations into it compact eugue against the common enemy, ti very didereiit drama has been enacted by our ageutsiu Washington, and we iuuy at least boast that while we have entered on one war wc have trampled out the embers which at any moment might have blazed u into. another. The mission of Lord Elgiu to Wash-I ingtou is an event peculiar tindunique int

tlic liistor of British diplomacy, rind me be

our colonial em ire. or a number of yours Lord Elgin has administered the government of Canada with treat tact and judgment. Carefully avoiding t e identification oflrriusolf with any party, he has won and attained the l confidence of all. He found the North Amer-i-, can Colonies distracted by the most vio- , lent feuds and the moat furious factions, rind i he has brought. them. into it stiitc of ctilrnrrcssl

and prosperity, which line reconciled the min nority to the sway of their political opponents, and replaced the dreams of aunexotrorr by it warm and sincere uttiicliiueut to Britislr coir- ncxion. No better roof can be ullbrdetl of the degree in which d Elgin has ssessed himself of the confidence of the poop e ot' the North American colonies than the fact of his having been selected for a diplomatic mission to the government of it powerful rreiglibour, and trusted to deal with their interests accor- ding to the dictates of his prudence and expe- rience. This country and the colonies have equal reason to be satisfied with the result of Lord Elgin‘s mission. He has prevailed on the American government to receive, without an ditty, the stable r-oducts of the Colonies, an , in exchange for t iis pi-ivile , he has conceded to the Americans the right 0 fishing undisturbed in British waters Every one who rcmcmbers the menacing aspect assumed by this question it year or two ago, and the use that was made of it by unscrupulous politicians to excite popular passions and renovate worn-out anti- pat.hies.—every one who remembers the declara- tion of Mr. Webster, that the American fit-rlier- man should be protected “ hook and line, hob and sinker,” mirst feel relieved to knoiv that this formidable subject of discord no longer exists. By great good sense and goodjudguieirt our admirals have contrive to preserve our rights intact without iving tiny rcusoririblo offence to the susccptibi ities of the Aruericrrn people. But we must not calculate on having always admit-als of great good sense and judg- ment on the American station, and assuredly the first oliicer who proved himself in any degree wanting in these qualities would have involved us in the most serious complication. It is therefore with great relief that we leirn thatn ossession ol so little value, and one the do once of which was fraught with so much danger, has been surrendered in exchange for commercial privileges so infinitely inoro desirable than the possession of ti monopoly of fishing over a few square miles of the vast Atlantic. Our minds are accustomed to porn- doxec in commercial rrrutter-s, and we miry therefore state our belief that the surrender of this higbl esteemed privilege will be found at least as ueficial to the colonies as to the Americans themselves. The surrender of a monopoly of this kind is sure to be more than corupcnested to those who lose it, by tho iri- cretised energy and exertion nerated from fair and healthy competition. ' ‘lie .'\llIf'l‘Il‘.LilH lrrtve acquired, rind rrrostjristly, it. high I‘t.'[tlII.&l" tiou as intrcpi atmcn and excellent f.sltci‘- riien, and we doubt not that our colonists will show themselves fully equal to their rivals, on those exertions far more certain remuneration for their labours than ever was afforded by the exclusion of their neighbours from their fishing stations. Looking at the matter merely as ti colonial question, and with-

l t

our reference to the tin rial interests so greatcly compromised, we relieve it was not worth while to have retained the monopoly tiny longer. lfthis be so,we may well coirsidcr

‘ourselves fortunate that in exchange for this

worthless rind embarrassing privllcge we have acquired from the American government mil

of the cool, fish, timber, wheat, and other produce of our colonies, and thus opened tol thema market nearer and more certain than‘ that ofliluro . The great increase of manu- factures in t e United States, the enormously‘

a growin indis osition on the rt of the America 'rtlie borious occupe on of firm- lag, and an ilicrssud taste or the life 0

considorc to form an epoch in the rocor s of P

'nios were desired merely for the sake of the

rim

cities and the ursuits of commerce, seem to promise a stea y and increasing market for the produce of the soil. As happened in our own , we may reasonably expect removal of restrictions to be attended with increase demand, and look forward with more confidence to it supply of corn from Canada and New B ‘ when there is a moderately reaiuer rative market close at hand to stimulate and oquclise pfioduction one year with another. It is thus t toommerce operates by an inter- change of mutual benefits. That. which a men believes to be a sacrifice turns out no less a good to lriru who concedes than to him who receives it:and, while ple think that they are only benefiting their neighbors, they are unwittingly corrferr-in the most iastin

obi’ tions on themes ves. W hope the

the orth American colonies will receive the treat which has been concluded on their beha. f in no narrow or selfish spirit. They must remember that, great as would be the disadvantages to En land, and indeed to the whole civilised worl , from an ixiisundershiid- ing between this country audt e United States, u on them would fall the first and heaviest b ow ; their trade, their commerce, their crit , their safety would be efiiacted by causes whic i would fell upon ours much more remote- ly, and with far inferior violence, and it is t erefore even more in their interest than our own that the first causes of mutual discontent and dissensiou should be avoided. This treaty fur-nislrcs it strange instance of the immense chnn e wrought by the prevalence of free trade doctrrrrr-.s on the policy of statesmen and the mutual relations of states. Formerly our colo-

monopoly of their trade. War after war have we engaged in for the sake of preserving this fancied benefit; and now, so complete is the revolution of ideas, that the admission of our colouies to trade with other countries in a con- dition ou which we are content to surrender ver important exclusive privileges. t statesmen of 1849 full understood and the- roughly carried out t e s ‘r-it of their own‘ coirimercial policy, we sliou d bc_e,t thismcment in possesion of our s are in the coasting trade of America ; but, by exhibiting distrust in the very principles we were applying, we taught the Americans to consider there wits somethin

precious in monopolies and exclusions, on

thus to our mutual injury we have been exclud- ed from the coestin trade, which in 1849 would have been surren ered in exchange for our own. We at length have swept away this lost relic of our protective policy, at have no reason to su pose that the United States are prepared to allow us in a sirnilar course. We rirust. comfort ourselves with the reflection, that in the rii. idl increasing state of commerce the loss ofri. itt o more employment for our shi a is ii. matter of small moment compared with tlie disadvantage which the American public volun-

Two large stationary high pressure engines, of st each, supply the motive power to the nuiiierotis slotting, planing, punching machines, steam hammers, and other mechanical eonirivencei i'or assisting the labor of handicreftsnren. The locomotives are constructed tea at a time, and the hut batch of ten are now drawing near cosipletioii-—five of them for passengers and the other fire for goods irnflic. It is expected that steam will be up, and the first five of these ready for delivery at their destination by the end of May. he contractors have bought a large vessel to be employed solely in conveying the loeornotive and carriage work across the Atlantic, and her’tweeu decks are ,being opened up and fittsdso as to give great stowage for such heavy freight.

The number of men employed is upwards of 300, and every week additional hands are being

turily inllict on themselves, by depriving their coasting trade of the benefit of corupotition. Some day or other these matters will come to be more thoroughly understood by our 'I‘riineat- lurrtic brethren, and we shall find them as anxious to divest themselves of their imaginary advantage in the monoply of the Californian coasting trade as we have been to give up the right to exclusive dealing with our colonies. eauwlrile we congratulate the country that, while the sky is overcast in the East, all is clear and bri ht in the West, and heartly hope that Lord E gin’s treaty may 0 the means of cementing an alliance still closer rind more intimate between England and the United States, and between both and our Transatlantic colonies.

The monthly expenditure in wages alone is now tip- wards_ot' £5,000 ; and, when the works arein full operation, it wi more than double that amount, or at the rate of£l20,000 per annnm. The works are capable of turning out 40 locomo- trvcs, with their tenders, in the course of the year, which, at the moderate estimate of £9,500 for each loconrotive (they are very large and powerful ones), gives £100. per snnuia for the work cf that department alone. The carriage, bridge, and miscellaneous plank work will pro- bably reach double that amount, and thus we have £300,000 worth of work turned out yearly.

This gallant gentle- man received his wounds in defence of his ship, which he only suri-errdei-ed at the last, when bortten down. He lost. one leg, and was badly wounded in the other.
