The lfnioh Pacific Railroad havingl proved so brilliant a. silt-ties th projch ‘ot another. the Northern Iacihc ‘ltailway. has received a new impetus. The North- ern l‘aciiie Railway Company have it uh ter which empowers them to btiild a rail- way than Lake Superior to Puget Sound. and it is their intention to construct the road with all possible dcsphtch. To that. end the President. and Directors are. pre- ‘paring to tiiake a thorough exploration of the country between Lake Superior and the Missouri in order to put the line under iinmediat. contract. A largo exploring

party have started. among whom nrci

Ilonorahles R. U. Rice and A. Colitirn. Messrs. .l. (.‘oolto & Co. are to undertake the tinancial management ot'the enterprise. it is stated that steam communication c- be opened on the proposed line entir across the continent by buildin;,r 739 ltillt of tr:u:k. The distance from St. Cloud on the .‘ili . .‘sippi. tho present terminus of the Minnesota Pacific Railway. to the north bend of the Missouri. is 2150 miles.

The highest summit is a very little more than t),Ut;U Wet—3.000 feet lower than that of tho ljnion Pacific on the lilaek llills, and [lie railroad can cross it. at a maximum grade ol 7;! leet to a mile.

in the annual meeting of the Cobdou Club, recently held iii London, the Duke qurzyle, who strongly syinputhized with the North during the great. (‘ivil War, made a speech in the course oi which he said :—

“ Some years ago lheanl quite accidentally that Mr. iitid Mrs. Cobden were staying at on hotel near my own place in Scotland and I need not my l lost no time in asking them to honor us with their presence. Wcrlnul some hours of most interesting conversation. but I wasinost particularly struck by one observa- tion iiinde by Mr. (Iobdcti with regard to the great civil war which laid then broken out in America. 1 am glad I am speaking iii the presence of b0llit.‘ distinguished Americans, and I hope that notic ofthcm will be at all shocked by what I tell them. because l need not remind them that Mr. (tobdcii w 9 always on the iiidc ol’treedom. and that no lllttn lttid a firmer conviction that the contest must. end in the ultimate triumph of the tree cruise. Air-Gobden, expressing I believe, his mind .l'ully, as we are at “hour to do in private coit- versation, but which we dare not do often in public speecacs. told me tliathehadlost‘much ot' the interest which he had formerly. telt in the Constitution of the American Linou. I asked him why. and his answer was, “I thought among the other advantages ‘of the great American Union that if any inclination to war i-honld arise. if any disparity oi inter- ests should spring up amongst. the htalcs. the Constitution was so framed that it. could be taken to pieces without a resort to war."

During the Panic meeting Mr. John Stuart Mill delivered iiti address, iii the course of which. rcl‘crringto the services rendered Free Trade by an eminent American advocate, m that system present, Mr. George Walker, Mr, Z\lill took occasion to express his opinion or the probable issue of the Fret Trade agita- tioii in the United States in these words :—

'1 In your issue ofduiie lT'h, I notice another lleticr from “ A J.:iyuutn;" also it letter from the editor of the ‘tl'resbyicrianf,’ Aflfillswfll‘ to those gentlemen has. no doi‘ibt. been ck; pectwi ere this, but at the time of their up- peurance I wusjust starting on tour in Nova Seotia: but wiih'yunr permission I would be glad of the opportunity to examine tlieirstntc- nietits. ‘ Laymau’s‘ letter, as usual. is i :iuin- tier ul‘asscrtioiiawithout any proof; aml as Mr. M has so kindly intimated that my wrrd is not to be relied on, nitliuut a voucher. 1 shall prove my assertions. and shall trouble him and his colleagues to do the same (ft/icy wish to be belitred. At my interview withthe editors of the "l’reubyteriuii." they told me that Richard llcll.ot'the Dork near Alberton. was the “ Layman " who wrote the letter. I immediately wrote to him to say that he was liable to prosteutioii on account of charges brought against me in his letter, btit for the present I wished to not according to the gel- den rnlc. mid give him an opportunity of re- tracting his charges, ninl requested to know from whom I had taken a book in the manner he stated. Mouths passed away,nnd Ireceiv- ed no answer. I then published my letter. Now will the reader notice the evidence be- low. of a man ofb‘tcrli'ny Integrity belonging to Cascnnipec.

“ liciug in the company ofIllchard Ilcll,ol' Dock ltoad tn Albertuu. I asked him it it was true that D.

On coming home ttitot‘ Mr. A. lnut lelt the house. his sister told him what she had done, not beiiq,r pleased, and as Mr. A . was at tltc next house. he went over to change it back, while crossing the read, he merely said to a person that he was going to get his book back. This be supposed was the origin of the story; that be did not blame Air. otdi cd that it was published.

He also de-

wrote the lclle '; mid turtlicr that ho had re- ceived a letter from D. A. and did not know

The reader will sue from this that I am

clear oi any lilnnie with t'cspct't to the bunk. lllso that Mr. Bell did not. write the letter. No wonderthe real author was iishaiiied oi it. ainl iii this mean way tried to charge-it to llr liell- Ilc had forget the old proverb "Ilc' SuiL your sin will lind you out." The rest oi‘liis charges tire on u par with this, and are too ptterile to be worthy of notice. I nnw wish to notice Mr. M.’s eras/ting rennirks about certain medical works and all the dreaded evil consequences he expects to flow from their sale. lie asks -' will Mr. A. tarnish. for the public eye, a list of medical authors whose works he vcnds as standard?“ (es, 1 will cheerfully do so. They are as follows: llnehaii’s liomcstie .\I.

This last author's works .\;r. M.'s criticisms are aimed at. He asks tiic to describe the piu~ lures, contents, 8m. I shall‘nut do so, but I will give bini testimony respecting them from higher authority shortly. lie has given us a quotation lroin W. W. “all. M. D., condemn- ng certain hooks.

I have but one more point to notice . At interview with the editors. they objected to publish my letter on account of lack of scholarship shown. I told them l did not think that will the true reason why they did not publish it. T e true reason, I rather thought, was that they were afraid to have the slatnlcrer exposed. I do not profess to be a scholar. and was willing to bear the con- sequent reproach, it'uuy, of having my letter, published just. us it was. Mr. M. acknow- ledges in the ‘ l’resbyterimi‘ol'June :lud, tli vt my letter was decked very fairly t'ortlie .flmr- no]. i can say that I pi'quii'ctl it irt'llwul help; so that trtiiii his own pen he has idtuwn clearly that his objection to its appearance iIi the " Presbyterian" was unfounded. Now will the reader turn to the “ Presbyterian” of June 2. and notice Mr. M.’u statement with respect to witnes '8 present at the interticw? He says “ 'I'hc Witnesses will give no positive proof." New turn to the . ouruul ot‘June 17. He rays that “ tie witnesses distinctly deity the truthfulness of Mr. Ala statement on the point at inhllt‘." it is worth while to notice the dill‘ereiiec between the two statements. A r ' t'lcllllbus ptrson may be morally cer- lalil oi'ibe iriiili of a matter about which he eoiihl not give aiiytliin 1 like positive. evidence. 1 admit that it is \’Cl')"‘l.ll‘d to g' e. a positive
