THE FORTUNES OF SHIPPEGAN AND | &T. JOHN'S, N, F., LOOMING UP, | When Mr, Sandford Fleming introduced | Shippegan, one of the local.ties represented by the Honorable Member for Gloucester, in- to bis report on the Intercolonial Railroad, it was thought to be a political rush to catch the North, and as an offset against the many good things he bad said as to the prospects of 'Soutneru cities. Now the fancies of the en- giveer look as if th y might soon be convert- ped into realities. Our Aroostook contempor- ary, the Pioneer, gives a very good summary ofthe vituativn, more especi.liy when the | Canada Pasific sball have been completed, | But we do not believe that enterprising capita- | lists will wait long, betore taking hold of this | splendid project.

‘(Phe Island of Newfouudiand has canghi the railroad fever, and has advanced an idea which, if capried out, will shorten still more the voyage between the contivents, It is pro-

to consirgct a tine of railroad from &r. vhn’s across the island of St, George's Bay, adiwtance of 168 miles, Pasgengere from Europe, ingtend of landing at Halifax, would leave at St. John’s, N. F., cross the island by rail, acd take a steaw ferry for the west- ern port of Shippegan harbor, Bay of Chal- eur, where they would intersect the [ntercol- onal Railway, which, when gompleted, will connect with the great net-work of railroads throughout the United States and Dominion. This would constitute the shortest and safest route for passengers and mails between Eu- rope and Awrica. he distance between St. John sand Val- eneia to Irejand, is a litle qver 160Q miles. Swift steamers would make this ran in ¢ 1-2 or 5 days. The ocean passage prorer would thus become @ g.nall affair, involving vo more risk than crossing the [rvish Channel. The dang 6s arising irom fogs, currenta, and reefs slong the thousand miles of American coast, on which 50 many vessels meet their doom, would be avoided, After g run of four or five days, passengers would land at St. John’s— step into a railway carriage, agd enjoy the picagure cf being whisked across Newfound. jand in eight} bours amid scenery the most novel and beautiful apd in twentyefuyr hours, would find themselves ai Shippegan, where « branch of the Intercolovial ilway would forward them to @uy part of the States or Causda ina few hours. The distinguished engineer, Mr, Saudtord Fleming, has been the firat to suggest this route to stamp it with bis high approval, He is of qpinion that it would prove w femunerative updertaking, aud would attract tq it a large portion of the passenger traffic and mail matter naw passing between the twy continents, The near future he considera, will see it garried out; ana he be- lieves thata daily line of steamers agross the ocean would find ample employment, Mails aud ngers from Loudon would reach New York in seven days by this route; Cai- cago iv eight days; wod San Francisco (via Cineago) in twelve duys. When the Can- adian Pacific ling is popatructed, this link is its Outural completion, and would make St, John's, N. F , ie eqstern terminus, A line of steamere from a port in British Columbia ta Ching and Japan, and another line to Aus- tralia, would supply channels by which the commerce af Asia, and Australia would regeb Europe across Newfoundiand.”

The heat of Osborne and of Windsor was, moreover, | most trying to the Queen before she weut to | Balmoral, Her Majesty bore the journey north well, and on the road slept better than jshe had for several proceeding nights. On ithe 19th of August, however, and for some days subsequently, the Queeo suffered trom most severe soré throat, and there was consid- erable interference not only with the act of swallowing, but even with speech- As the throat improved the Queen began to suffer

|pain a little below the right arm, at which |’

| part a swelling, that subsequently suppurated, |made its appearance. Her Majesty's general health was agaiu greatly disturbed at the time, in connection wth the formation of the abe- | cess, and for days Her Majesiy was unable to jtake any food, On the 4th of September | Mc. Lister opened an abseess which had forin- jed at the seat of the awelling beneath the arm. The abscess proved to be of consider- jable size; but after it was incised it made fa- | vorable progress toward cure and soon healed. | From this time the improvement in the Queen's | genera! health began to show itself, and dur- ing the past few days has been very decided.

M>. Papimeau was chosen speaker ot the House of Representatives, which office he held at the time of the breaking out ot the Rebellion of 1336-37, and was amonge the earliest of the *‘ patriots’? to take refuge in the United States from the penaliics o their misguided temerity in attempting an everthrow of the British Government io Canada, without money, arms, or disciplined troops—or even the discretion necessary to make the best of the sma]! means at their command, After many years of exile, Mr. Papineau was permitted to retura, and all his property was restored to him, Since ther, the blandishments of hie manners and hir social amenities have served to dissipate the prejudices of his former indiscretions, and Mr. J.

On Thursday evening, about seventy five gentlemen celebrated the turning of the First Sod of the Prince Edward Island Railway, by dining together at the St. Lawrence Hotel. His Wvrship the Mayor assisted by Lieut. Colonel Neil Rankin, pre | sided over the company, which included | many of the leading professional and busi-| ness men of the city, as well as several | prominent merchants from Summerside and other parts of the Island. The tables were abundantly supplied with the *‘ good things.’ and the dinner was all that the most critical in the art cuisine could desire. After “ample justice” had been done the

The regular toasts were as follows:

1. Her Majesty the Queen and Royal Family.

2. The President of the United States.

3. The Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island.

4. The Army and Navy.

5. The Bench and Bar.

6. The Railroad.

7. Mrs. Robinson and the Fair Daughters of Prince Edward Island.

The American Consul thanked the ae}

presented and Great Britain would never be disturbed. (Cheers )

Hon. T. H. Haviland, being called upon | to respond to the third toast, said he felt it | unnecessary to make any lengthy remarks | in reference to the gentleman who held the | same relative position towurds us, and who | deserved the same resvect as does our| gracious Queen in Engiand. Under Colo nial and Responsible Government he held and exercised the prerogatives on behalf of the Crown; and from the intercourse which he had -with His Honor Governor Robinson, he felt sure that these weuld be used for the public good. Every act would be carried out in accordance with the well understood wishes of the people as expres sed by their representatives in Parliament. (Cheers.)

Capt. F. S. Longworth, in reply to the “Army and Navy,” made a very happy speech.
