DARK HAIR AND FAIR HAIR.—ID the new num ber—the secood—of 27ie Anthropological Review, and Jour nal of the Anthropoloyieal Society pf London, there is • very interesting paper, by Dr. John &dice, which seems t o show that the which English poets and English painters have alwaya manifested for fair hair rather them for dark is not shared by the masa of the English people, and that fair hair is coosequently becoming every day lens and less prevalent in &Weird. The in crease of dark hair In this country was Int noticed by Mrs. Somerville. who, in her book on " Pbyeical• Geo-1 granny," mentions her strong impreesioe that, at she time she was writing that hook, fair hair was much less common among her countrymen and countrywomen than abe remembered it to have been in her youth. Sines Iben, at various times, many other persons have expeaseed a similar 'pinion, acid pow, in the girlie)* referred to, Dr. John Beddoe publishes facts which seem to prove pretty conclusively that such witoessee have not bee. inisiekea with respect to this matter. In the paper fa gaestiaa, Dr. Beddoe gives particulars respectim the ogler of the hair and the social conditios of 737 young who bare come under his othervatim in hie capacity of physician to the Bristol Royal Infirmary. Of them 737 wows. she hair of 22 was " red," that of 95 was " fair," that of 140 was " brows," that of 33$ was " dark brown," and that of 33 was " black." Reckoning bath the " red," th• " fair," and the " brown" as '• fair," sad only tbe "dark brown " and the " black as " dark," the respective totals were thus moldy equal, being 387 " fair" and 369 " dark." Of the 367 fair-haired women, however, 32 per cent. were single, while of the 369 dark-haired women only 21'5 per cent. were single. It would thus appear that a greater proportion of fairhaired women than of dark-haired women " live and die unmarried and without offspring," and an that the increasing prevalence of dark hair among us is due to what—slightly varying the phrase which Dr. Darwin has rendered so familiar Dr. Beddoe calla " conjugal selection." It should b e no t e d , too, that Dr. Brildoe's figures establish not eely that, waking generally, a dark-haired imams has (at lead In the west of Ragland) a mach better chance of settles married than a fair-haired woman has—the properties .7 fair-haired women who fail to God bulbul& Indoe to that of dark-haired women who similarly fail as three to two— but also that, among dark-haired women themselves, the chances of msrrisge are in proportion to the degree of the darkness of the Lair. This, of the imams with dark brown hair who came under his observation. 92 per wt. were 6. 4 0., whil e of the women with black hair only 18 per cent. were ao.

MANY sincere well-wishers to Prussia enter tained hopes that the humiliating and even dan gerous position into which that kingdom was thrown by the Austrian Emraaoa's advance as a Reformer would have bad a salutary effect upon the political conduct of WiLuAlt 1., and have I prompted him by a speedy dismissal of his Minister to come to an understanding with his people. There were even expectations that if the Kixo's character and principles stood in the way of an accommodation, he was prepared to abdicate rather than be responsible for the disruption and debasement of the monarchy. These expectations, we are sorry to say, ap pear to be disappointed by the maintenance of the noxious Minister, by the dissolution of the Chambers, and by new elections taking place under such auspices. The views and calculations of M. BISMARCK are sufficiently transparent. He sees Prussia thrust into the second rank of German States, and its influence among the minor sove reignties even of the North wasting away. In stead of adopting at once a domestic and a Federal policy of consistent liberalism, M. BISMARCK proposed meeting the antagonism of Austria by open force. He wanted at the very first to appeal to arms. His madness was over ruled by the Kixo, but unfortunately not discardbd from his councils. For M. BISMARCK'S idea is still that the display, if not the use, of force can alone vindicate the dignity and secure the rights of Prussia. Not only does the Minister entertain these ideas himself, but he thinks that the country must share them. The quarrel between the KINO and the Chambers lately dis solved was upon the organization of the army. One of the arguments of the Opposition was that a large armed force was not required in the present junc ture of European politica, and that even at a future time should Prussia be menaced by • foreign foe, it was rather to the numbers of • German than of a Prussian army that the Government should look for safety and defence. M. BISMARCK thinks that these arguments of the Opposition have been completely disproved by recent evepta. Austria has appeared upon the field of politics with proposals most derogatory to Prussia, and the German Sovereigns have sup ported the EMPRROIL Neither their policy nor their armies can therefore be reckoned upon to defend the House of Honawrourax, which must look to itself and to its own national army. The military question thus resuscitated, acmd ing to M. Bisetaaca'a view, takes quite a different shape. And however Prussian Liberals might have objected hitherto to 200,000 soldiers, they cannot surely object now that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has assumed so menacing a rivalry. These are said to be the calculations upon which the Prussian Minister is about to try new oleo tions and to face • new Chamber. The rsah Minister evidently reckons without his host, sod is about to expose his Sovereign to . . _ _ further and defeats. Had another Chamber been summoned, and the altered phase of the German question been shown to it, under another Minister than M. BISYLRCK, under other auspices than the Feudal party, it is possible that the country first, and the Chamber afterwards, might have gone half way to meet the concession implied in the change, and that a compromise on the military question might have resulted. But with M. BISMARCK a Chamber of moderates is not to be hoped for. His very name will add scores of votes to the advanced liberal party. The unfortunate Kirin, therefore, instead of saving his country from a perilous position, and at least leaving some chance to his son and successor to rescue it, is now aggravating the domestic quarrel, provoking the nation, rushing headlong to a revolu tion, and irrevocably handing over Germany to anti-Brunie/1 influences. The infatuation of the Kim} in upholding such a Minister is unaccountable. WILLIAM I. is well aware that he owes all his present diffi culties, whether in Prussia or in Germany, to M. BLBMAMCL. That politician's known . .tostility to Austria aroused the Eurraoa from the very first day of his appointment, and his ill-concealed intrigues with France and with Russia not only alarmed the Court of Vienna, but indisposed all the other German Sovereigns. Had Prussia been in its normal state, governed by any other ministry, the unanimity which Austria all but obtained at Frankfort would have been impossible. There is not one of these Prinoesthat Brat/awe has not menaced. For to the character of being a foe of all popular righta, the Prussian Minister has contrived to add that of being a plotter against the independence of German Sovereigns. Yet this man, the suspected and abhorred of all classes and of all powers, has found it necessary to invoke the broadest of popular principles as a de fence against Austria. He himself and the King of PRUSSIA have declared that nothing short of direct representation for the German people at large will satisfy them. We need not say that it is this which the German Princes and their Courts most dread, and that if they rally to Austria it is in fear of the fulfilment of such a whim. No one, of course, believes that M. BIAMAIWI would have made such a proposal if he thought there was a chance of its being carried. Nor could such a proposal from such a Minister win the con fidence or adherence of the great body of German Liberals. It is thus with a Minister universally odious and contemned in his native land that Wruaan I. is mad enough to appeal again to his people. The Kum appeals to his people from the slurs and alights flung upon him by the Congress and the re solutions at Frankfort. But the Pre mien nation, to which he appeals, feels equally humiliated at being thrust into a corner. Far, however, from thinking the Austrian Earanoa guilty of either malice or 11101.... THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1863. unfairness, they applaud the me that he has I made of his opportunity, sod cast the entire blame lof Prussis's inferiority upon the obstinacy of the :Monarch and the imbecility of his Government. WILMA)" I. dissolves and summons his Parlia ment just as the STUARTS did. He dismisses them to get rid of a domestic difficulty, and suddenly calls them together to solve the knot of foreign ember. rassment. It is evident that his }tangent had hoped to be free from external difficulties, and that in quietness, peace, and economy he should be able to get the better of his Parliament. The event has shown him the danger and fallacy of such calcula tions. The sovereign who quarrels with his people inevitably tempts his neighbours and rivals to take advantage of his weakness. Austria has done so in the present instance. Whether the advances of Austria will result in the union of Germany we cannot yet pronounce. But it is tolerably evident that they already menace the Prussian Kingdom with disturbances and its dynasty with destruction. THE QUEEN'S RETURN TO ENGLAND. (asuris'a Turawc.) GOTHA, TUESDAY. Her Majesty Queen Victoria left Coburg at half-peat 10 last night. Her Majesty will remain a day at Darmstadt. Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse left before the Queen on Friday last. King Ferdinand of Portugal has arrived. Her Royal Highness the Princese George of Saxony, accompanied by Baron Geredorff, strived in town on Monday evening from a tour In Scotland. Her royal highness leaves town to-day for Dresden. His Excellency Count Nesselrode has arrived at Manrigy's Hotel from Paris. The Marquis of Bristol and the Ladies Hervey have arrived at Homburg from Dresden. The noble mar qui@ sad daughters are expected home towards the close of the month. The Earl and Countess Stanhope have arrived at the FlStel Mirabeea. Paris, on their way to SwitzerLod. Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley and Hon. Mimeo Stanley left town on Monday for the family seat in Cheshire. Sir William C. and Lady Georgians Codrington have arrived in town expressly to attend the wedding of Lord Loadtoborongh and Lady Edith Somerset to-morrow. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who arrived in town on Mooday, from visiting the Earl of Sandwich at Biachinbroke, have since left town on a tour in Germany. Visoount and Viscountess Palmerston received a whet party st dinner last evening at Cambridge House. Viscount and Viscountess Sydney have been entertaining a select party, at Frognall, Foot's Cray, dui lug the past week. A letter from Baden of the 7th says :—"The present state of the political world ban told on the attend ance of 'the distinguished foreigners' ►t Baden this season. The Russians, while Poland is in dames, have other channels for their roubles ; and the Americana, end ing the sources of their wealth so cut off, have abandoned their trips to Europe. Consequently one misses the display ' they created in the promenades, the theatre, and on the race coarse. Still, the Austrians number tolerably strong, and there is a fair sprinkling of Italians ; and yesterday several notabilities, released by the breaking-up of the Congress at Frankfort, were present at the rams. Among them Lord Granville, the Queen of Prude, the Grand Doke and Ditches' of Baden, and t►e King of Holland, occupied the royal stood, and the arrival and departure of their respective equipages and corteges seemed to inspire the Engllsh rialtos" with considerable interest" MUSIC. •.$.• WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. WORCESTER, TUESDAY. The formal opening of the festival has come off with remarkable eclat The elements, though threatening, have proved as yet propitious, ►nd in consequence there wee • larger attendance at the first oratorio than has ever been remembered. Soon after eight o'clock the cathedral bell summoned the visitors to early morning prayers at the cathedraL On en tering the church the visitor is struck with the wonderful changes that have been effected in its interior since the last meeting of the three choirs at Worcester three yean ago. In that interval the masons, builder,, carvers and gilder' have had almost satire possession of the build ing, and have only suspended their daffy work for an hour at noon, when daily prayers have been said. The entire building has been cleansed of its whitewash. The clustered columns of Purbeck marble have been [ thoroughly cleaned and polished, and the bosses on the grained roof have been gilt and coloured. The sum appro priated to thine restorations by the Ecclesiastical Com mis/mien is nearly exhausted, and whether another grant will be made or not is at present unoertaio. The Rev. B. Cattley, one of the minor canons of the cathedral, proposes to raise some 2,000!. or more by public subscription, for the pumice of placing in the tower a peal of ten first-clase bells with chimes, and a great bell, to be equal to old Tom (smacked), besides a public clock, to be connected with Greenwich Observatory by electricity. The proposition, which I. Wended to bear the character of a testimonial to the Dean of Worcester, is well received by the local nobility and gentry, and approved of by the dissenting body. Amongst the noblemen who support it are Lord Lyttelton (Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire). the Bishop of Woe. e Ater, Earl 131,am:tamp, Earl of Ooveatry, Earl of Dudley, Hon. F. Lygoa, lf .P., Sir J. S. Pakiagton, Bart., ALP., Sir T. K Winningtoe, But, M.P., fox The Mayor (A. Sherriff, Fnq.), with a large muster of the corporation and city officers, attended the early morning service in state. The service was, Outlay in A. and the anthem, Elvey's, " Praise the Lord, 0 my soul ;" the solos by the members of the Hereford Cathedral choir, all the three choirs joining in the service, which was rendered very effectively, though not approaching the effect pro duced by the 400 voices and instrumental under the old prac tice. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of Wor cester, who took for his text Luke rel., 9, " Make to your soiree friends of the mammon of unrighteoueness, that when ye fail they may receive you into everlasting habitations." A public breakfast was given at the Guildhall, which was crowded from end to end by the file of the visitors and residents. The Mayor (Mr. A. Sherriff), wit's Mrs. Sherriff, took the head of the table, and among the suede were the Dec D'Aumale (who hes a seat and estates in Worcester shire), the Bishop of Worcester, the canons and clergy, cos potation, Lady Diara Pakiegtoe, Au The repast was a most sumptuous one, and at the close, the Mayor having given the only toast, "The Queen," the company rose and repaired to the cathedral, where was assembled the largest company e►er remembered on a ant morning. The oratorio wens Mendelmohn's which being now almost as well understood as Handel's Messiah, becomes every year more popular. The " cast" was pretty much the same ashes been customary at these festivals, with the ex ception that the treble and tenor solos were gives to the second principals in the OM part, a change not for the beat. Whether from this or what other came, certain it is that the second part of the oratorio was decidedly the more perfect performaoce, and this may be said without any reflectkm upon either Madame fflierringtoo, Mies Palmer, or Mr. Wilbye Cooper. We may say at the outset that the choruses acquitted themselves admir ably. The mast striking features in this morning'. per formance were the rendering of the fine song, " Hear ye, braid," which *peas the second part ; Mr. Weiee's delivery of the air, "It is enough ;" the lovely air, "O me i n the Lad, • by Madame Sainton Dolby ; the quartet; "Holy. hely ;" Mr. Sims Reeves's " Then shall the righteous ;" the trig "Lift thine eyes ;" and the quartett, "Cast thy bur- ; des," whit always please.

We like, however, to hope, after the assurance which your Majesty has given that you will always take into serious consideration all the comrnanicatioes which your ooefede rates may address to you, that we shall'end by arriving at a happy common understanding. Enclosed is the plea of German federal reforms as it has been framed after oar de liberatioca. All animated by the spirit of German concord, and prepared for every samilice, we have completely agreed upon this plan, and we would consider it as a happiness for all of us, and for sll our peoples, if your Majesty, our powerful and well disposed ally, should come to a decnion by means of which Germany, thanks to the unanimity of her sovereigns, would obtain a salutary reform of her constitution on the basis of federal right.

A letter from Rome of August 28 says that the extraordinary success of this miracle has so " o'er leapt " itself as to have led to a quarrel about the plunder between a priest and a bishop which bids fair to bring the miracle itself into disrepute. The receipts of the church of Vicovaro since the Madonna took to winking in it have been on an average 3,000 crowns (about 6001.) a week. The Bishop of Tivoli, in whose diocese the church is, put in a claim for a share of this sum, but this claim was resisted by the curd. The latter seems to have the law on his side, for the bishop, in despair of getting any money, now gives out that he has never seen the image wink ita eyes, and that he doubts whether it does. THE FRENCH BISHOPS AND K RENAN. The deluge of episcopal charges has not ceased to pour down on M. Renan and his book, "La Vie de Jesus." Cardinal Bonnet cautions his flock against its vain philosophy and misguiding arguments. The Bishop of Algiers is even lees conciliatory. He stigmatises this " age of toleration and of doctrinal effeminacy." He charac terises AL Henan as a cold, indecent, and frivolous blasphemer, and his work as the " most despicable and impotently impious" that ever appeared. He condemns it as being full of propositions, rash, false, erroneous, heretical, impious, scandalous, sacrilegious, and accursed. He forbids the faith ful who are under his episcopal jurisdiction to sell, to buy, to read, to lend, or even to keep the work, and calls upon all who have read the "abominable book" to make amends. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (not on OWN col PARIS, TUESDAY EVINING. Some days ago, in forwarding an article of the Pays, which, while affecting to tax as exaggerated, did in point of fact confirm in all essential par ticulars, the " political evolution" first announced by the France, I observed that the silence of the Constitutionnet, which habitually echoes any import ant announcement of its twin brother, was evidence of hesitation and uncertainty in high quarters. The Constitutionne/, which has been kept in reserve, now speaks as follows : The imaginatioe of newemongers has alwsys been fertile, but their exuberant powers of invention have for some time put been increasing. At one time certain journals invent a whole series of facts; at another they exaggerate the moat insignificant incideut to such an extent u entirely to pervert its meaning. The statements made within the last few days by newspaper correspondents, and commented on by a large portion of the European press, is a fresh example of the facility possessed by certain minds of inventing or exaggerating facts. According to those new■mougers, the French government, which so far had acted in concert in all proceedings relative to Polish affairs with England and Austria, offended at what has taken place at the Frankfort Congress, had separated from the cabinet of Vienna to make common muse with Prussia and Russia. Serious men, and several organs of public opinion, have, we readily admit, ref used to believe such reports, rightly thinking that wise govern ments do not give way to such sudden impulses ; sound policy is in the habit of proceeding more deliberately. How could tba French government, whose wisdom and foresight are questioned by none that we know of, have in this air otimataoce departed from all its traditions? It knows too well what is to be gained by persevering in the path which has been chosen, when it is that of good faith and modera tion. The French government knows too well that the confidence inspired by such conduct cannot be attended with beneficial results, and that, to gain fresh sympathies, there is no necessity to sacrifice former ones. Thus with out there being scything changed in the friendly relations which exist between France and the cabinets of London and Vienna, the Freocb government, we believe we are in a position to affirm, continues, by the aid of its good rola- tines with the other powers, to pursue the solution of the grave questions by which Europe is preoccupied. The above article, comiug after the breaking down of the scheme proposed by Prussia and with which France coquetted for several days, is an illus tration of the political morality which never admits a failure, and sturdily denies the existence of every project found to be untenable. The Constifutiotind was kept in reserve to contradict, when time should serve, news accredited by the Pays, which is under the same management, and in all respects the same property. The Pays being now instructed to turn • round in the best way it can, has an embraogled article, the upshot of which ix that although there was a moment when each of the three powers, France, Russia, and Prussia, was very glad to see that it agreed with the two others in its way of looking at the Frankfort Congress, "yet that neither of them thought, under existing circumstannes, that there was any occasion to go further." What it all comes to is, in the words of the Patrie, this :—" After all the noise made about the liberal inteotious of Russia, there remains uothing—literally nothing —but this, that the cabinet of St. Petersburg is unshakeable in its resolutions, and will continue to defy the opinion of Europe." _ I There has been a reaction at the Bourse. Rents fell 36c. for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 80c. and 68fr. 95c. Nimbilier fell 351 r. 25c. The Southern Railway fell 10er. A report is current in financial circles that K Mould is about to create in his ministry a statis tieal department, the direction of which is to be confided to a person who was not long since con nected with the management of a recently esta blished journal. According to another report, K Fould is hatching a scheme for buying up all the railway obligations, and paying for them by a new issue of Three per Cente. MR. CHARLES MATHEWS UPON THE FRENCH 9TAGL Mr. Charles Mathews, the English comedian, made his first appearance upon the French stage at the Theatre dee Varietis, in Paris, on Monday night. The piece 'elected was a melon in French, under the title of Un Anglais Timid', of the actor's own fares of the Baskjarl Ma*. Our Paris correspondent, writing on Mon day night, gives the following account of the performance : " Mr. Charles Mathews has not met with quite such a great MOMS at the Varie . tis as I should bays been glad to have recorded, and as I think be deserved. It is always cm arduous task for an actor to play in a foreign language, and before such a critical audience as a Parisian one the ordeal is doubly frightful. But I do rot think the com parative failure of this evening's representation Is in any degree attributable to that canes. Mr. Mathews speaks French better than almost any Englishman I ever heard. Indeed, his easy, graceful, and singularly correct pro nunciation might be envied by many an educated Frenchman, end the very slight English accent occasionally perceptible was really no detriment at all to such brosd farce as the Bashful Man. From the moment be stepped upon the stage it was obvious that all the difficulties of a foreign tongue had been overcome with marvellous felicity. Although be speaks with the volubility which be inherits from his father, every word was audible in every part of the house and every ' point' told. The fault, if fault then were, was not in the actor but the author. The humour of ' the piece was, in the opinion of the audience, exhausted in the early part of it, and during the ten minutes which pre ceded the fall of the curtain they began to get weary. "No puff preliminary was resorted to in order to secure an audience for Mr. Mathews. I heard by the merest oc cident that he was to make his first appearance at the Venetia to-night, and could hardly believe my informant — so out of the usual course of things did it appear to me that snob a theatrical event should take place without making more noise beforehand. I went, however, to the I door of the VariEtes, and there I saw by the bills, Un! Angled. Timide, a comedy in one act, by Mr. C. Mathews, was to be produced this evening, and that Mr. C. Mathews would play the character of Mr. Brown. Thereupon I soured a stall—which was not difficult, for the theatre was by no means full at the opening, although before the Bashful Man began nearly every seat was occupied. From the conversation of people around me I found that Mr. C. Mathews' fame as an actor had not reached Paris. A great many came out of curiosity to see an Englishman play in French ; but they knew nothing about biro. The audience was therefore as genuine a one as could well be. Only if I may trust my own im pression there was a cabal of some twenty person prate term;ned to hoot down the Englishman, if they could see their opportunity. In the early part of the piece Mr. Mathews' acting of the cool adventurer who makes himself at home in old Gogo's house, seta his furniture to rights' rehaop his pictures, pokes him in the ribs, orders his ser vants about, end makes love to his ward, was folly appreci ated, and rewarded by roars of laughter such u are seldom heard within the walls of a French theatre. But a comic soog in English wag not relished, because not understood, and another song to the guitar in Neapolitan patois, (also ! not understood) provoked visible marks of impatience. At last just as the very alight dinotiessent of the farce was being worked out the audience soused to think the explanations of how it mine to pass that Mr. Brown mistook somebody else for Gogo, junior, on a Rhine steamboat, as altogether unneoescary, and at all events too long. Thera was a good deal of stamping of feet, and ammo cat-calling, and the curtain fell amidst consider- I able distarbanee. There was little or no spoliate at the end of the piece, and Mr. Mathews was not called tor. I, how -1 ever, board several p eople in the fuyer, while oriticeeing the piece, speak highly of Mr. Mathews talent, and if be cares to persevere on the French stage I am quite sure there will be great curiosity to no him when be becomes better known. " As You Wsuu."—The indApendance Beige thus describes the "situation" in regard to the Polish gnostic& : "The old oombioatioo has failed and will not readily re assume its threatening tone; the new one has not established itself ; each power hes taken up an independent position, and will ant for itself." A correspondent at Alexandria, writing on the Ist, says :—" Your racing readers may be interested in bearing that the moch•vered point as to the merit. of Baldish and Arab horses has just spin been tried in Cairo. Ali Pacha, who has the Boast stud of Arabs in Egypt, maintained that no English horse could run against an Arab for four miles.

What astonished the natives most ar..4 that Companion, beating hi. adversary by so great a die: tance, was perfectly fresh, and quite ready to turn wood and run the distance over spin, while the Arab was quite exhausted and blown."

SHOOTINO AN ARCHBISHOP.-A MYSTERY. It has been stated in all the journals of Europe, that on the sight otly 19 the Archbishop of Utrecht wee the victim of a murderous attack at his country house, near Bois le Due. The allegation was that he had bees shot in the small of the back, that the ball had been en treated without his receiving any serious injury, and that no trace could be found of the anomie. Some surprise ems expressed from the first that a shot should have beau fired in the archbishop's house in the middle of the night without some of his followers laying hands on the mat. darer. And the astonishment of the public wee mostly ' " • increased when it come out that the police were not informed of the crime till twelve hours after its comm e., at 4 in the afternoon, whereas the clergy of the town knew of it at an early hour in the morn. lag. It ia, moreover, affirmed that the surgeon who extracted the ball was asked to keep the affair secret, but hetold the archbishop that his professional oath compelled him to make a report to the judicial authorities. It is ascertained that no robbery was committed in the house. The archbishop has bees interrogated by the magistrate., but nothing could be extracted from him to further the ends of justice. A tartar fact is, that the wadding of the pistol which has been found consist' of a piece of a special almanac's, used by accouchetus for the purpose of reckoning the probable period of a coutinement. When pressed by questions the Archbishop (Mgr. Zwyzeo) said he suspected a certain interdicted priest. Bat the magistrates, after in quiry, have come to the coucluaion that there is nothing against the individual in question, and that the indication must have been made for the purpose of putting the in quirt' on a false scent. What interest the archbishop cos have in making a mystery of this event is at present but II matter of conjecture. BANK OP BRITISH OOLUMBIA.—(27III DAY.)

They had not made any bed debts since they lad met ; but bad debts might occur. They had opened a new branch at Richfield, in the midst of the gold field, from which a good deal was expend. The bank at New Warminster as yet did Dot more that pay its expenses, but they hoped that it would prove more profitable as time advanced. They expected that the colony would receive a great impulse from the new company which took the place of the Hudson's Bay Oompany, and when a poste] communication by a line of steamers was established between Panama and Vancouver's Island direct, touching et San Fraacisco, which be hoped would be effected in the next 12 months.
