A RAILWAY TO THE PACIFIC.

A known to the Pacific. over British territory is a subject that has often bcclt spoken ot by public lllt‘u itl llritislt Alu- clica, and there is no doubt blit that such an ulldetlaking, if taken hold of ill the light spirit by the New Uuminiuu, and aided by Great Britain, would prove oi immense lid 'ilntage to both countries. We have lately seen in otlr colttcltlpurary, The Examiner, an account of the natural resources of Natal, end oi the rich and valict' productions of that country. We ltave also read equally glowing descrip- tions of the luxuriant growth nlltl produc- tions of some parts of the great and ricll country now a wilderness. through which such it line would have to pass. We have lately received it letter from a friend in New South Wales, where he states that cllghlucrilt-r hill is being rewarded by pushing railway lines up mountains lltl't't: thousand feet above the lct'el oi the sea. and we have ttot heartl that gt’gttcr tlilli- cultics lie ill this route.
