THE REPRERIORATION or LUDLOW.—Notice in given in lit night's Gazette that the Speaker's warrant for the sew writ for the election of • representative of the borough of Ludlow in the room of the late Mr. Botfield will be leaned at the expiration of six days. The address of Sir W. Fraser, soliciting election for the borough. has been Published. He says:—" My political principle. are closely identical with those which actuated Mr. &Afield. and my votes in parliament, like his, have shown my earnest desire, whilst maintaining the present form of government, to aid in such alterations in our laws as are rendered necessary by the change of time and the progressive spirit of the age. I em of opinion that we should not hastily meddle with the affairs of other countries [Mins for the security of our pos. maim or the maintenance of our honour. I shall gladly support measures for lightening the taxation of the people, but I consider the truest economy is to preserve our arma ments in such • state of efficiency as to rippler us safe from attacks by foreign powers. Nothing can tend more to thin safety than the splendid body of volutiteernwhich will make thia age illustrious in history, and I shall be happy, when ever an opportunity offers, to support their interests moat strenuously.' There are rumours that the liherals intend nominating Colonel SalweY, a resident neighbour, but as yet nothing has been done in that quarter. The name of Sir Joeeph Bailey, whose father represented Herefordshire for some years, has also been mentioned in the conservative interest. kOITIONINCI NY MISTAK F. —Yeatertlay morning Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Ship Tavern, Vauxhall Bricige•road, touching the death of Walter Henry Deeley. It appeared that the mother of the deceased child, who resided at No. 29, Admiral-terrace, Vauxhall Bridge-road, was confined on the 3rd instant, rod was attended by Dr. Bettie, who, preetowily to the birth of the child, had prescribed a preparation of morphia for the mother, and subsequently the same preparation, but only half the quantity,.. was to be taken. lt was further shown that 'coma King, the nurse, had some dill water in a bottle very similar to that which contained the morphia, both ingredients looking like pure water. Ac cording to the statement of the aurae, she WAS harassed with the other children oa Sunday last, and the infant was crying at the mune time, end she took up the wrong bottle, and gave the infant a teaspoonful of the contents. Although she knew that one bottle contained mixlicine for the mother and the other medicine for the child, she mid she bad not the remotest idea that either of them con tained poison. She heard the child moan shortly afterwards, and thee she discovered her mistake, and sent for Dr. Battle. Dr. Bettie add when be arrived the child was evi. • dently suffering from the effects of some narcotic, such as • opium, laudanum, or morphia. lie tried every remedy, without avail, and the child died the following day, after having several convulsion Sta. He felt certain the child hail died from morphia. A teaspoonful of the contents of the bottle would be the twelfth part of a grain of morphia, or equal to nearly • quarter of a grain o f op i um . Th e morp hi a was obtained from a very respectable chemist, but was not labelled poison. The coroner said he thought that to all eases poisons should he labelled as such. Dr. Bettie replied that many ladies objected to take medicines which were labelled poisyn, bedded which several kinds of medicine. Intended for adults would came the death of children if taken by them even if six months old. The coroner then said he had Deena peculiar cork cut like spikes, which would slightly prick the fingers of a person who toucited it. and iodi. safe that the bottle stopped with that cork contained pot ion. After further evidence, and some deliberation on the part of the jury, the following verdi c t was returned : " That the deceased child died from morphia administered accidentally for dill water."

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 14, EMIN(I.. Her Majesty Queen Victoria, accompanied by the royal family and suite, left the King's private station at Laeken, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, on her journey to Germany. THE POLISH QUESTION. PARIS, AuGuar 14, Eciarivo. La France of this evening states that differences have sprung up among the chiefs of the Polish party, and says that the extreme party had the chance of taking the lead in the movement. The same journal says further, that the notes of the three Powers will be delivered to Prince Gortchakoff on Monday next, when they will be immediately published in England, France, Austria, and Russia. AUSTRIA AND MEXICO. VIENNA, Aims!' 14. The General Correspondenz of to-day declares all communications of the journals respecting the Mexican question to be premature, nd says : "No definitive decision whatever has yet been come to. The Mexican deputation does not repre sent the expression of the whole.country, and the question therefore requires still further develop ment." SPAIN AND MEXICO. MADRID, Amon. 13. In an article replying to the journals disap proving of the transformation of Mexico into an empire, the Epoca declares that it would not have been necessary to abandon Mexico with 6,000 men when France with only 3,000 would have left the supremacy to Spain. The liberal journals demand that Spain should adopt a policy of isolation iu the Mexican question, while others ask the government to protect Spanish interests by recognising the Mexican empire. TURKEY. VIENNA, Anus? 14. A telegram received here from Constantinople, dated the 13th inst., says : " Hussein Pacha has been appointed Minister of War, in place of Hallil Pacha, who has resigned.

The Valetta leaves with the Bombay mail at 7 p.m. to-day for Marseilles, where she may be expected on the 17th inst. The Ceylon, with the heavy portion of the mail, will sail. at midnight. She may be looked for at Southampton about the 23rd inst. The Malta brought the mail to Suez, arriving there at noon on the 10th inst. PRUSSIA. Letters from Berlin state that while public opinion severely blames the government for the dilatoriness of its German policy, the decision of the King not to go to Frankfurt is generally approved. That opinion is the stronger that Austria, it is considered, bad evidently come to a previous arrangement with Bavaria, Wurtemberg, dc., and had asked King William to take part in a conference without his having had the time or means of making himself acquainted with the affairs to be there discussed. The irritation against the system of Count de Bismark not the less goes on increasing. The Correspondenz of August 12 says : Before summoning the Crown Prince his Majesty the King had already declined the invitation of the Emperor of Austria in an autograph letter, giving his reasons for the refusal. Apart from the unseasonable impolicy of the step of the Austrian monarch, the main reason for his Majesty's reply is his opinion that, although reform of the federal constitution is desirable and necessary, it ought to be first diseased by Ministers of State acquainted with the subject before • conference of Princes should meet. No party imagines moreover th►t anything will come of the Austrian Congress of Princes iu Frankfort. Sttt J AMIN HUDSON.—Some foreign journals have amused themselves with 'peculation, on the cause of the retirement of Sir James Hudson. the British minister at Turin. These speculations are entirely wide of the truth. The fact is that three or four months ago Sir James Hudson expressed a wish to retire from the diplomatic service, in which he had laboured so sealoualy, end in which he had gained so much distioction. In acoediog to his wish the Queen was pleased to grant him the Grand Cross of the Bath. He had given entire satisfaction to the government under which he served, end there had been no difference between them either on the affairs of the East or any other subject. He will be succeeded by the Hoe. Henry Elliot, a sou of the late Lord Minto.—Glotc.

The annual dinner of this famous yacht club— the •• lied Squadron" of the Solent—took place at the Club-Louse, Ryde, on Wednesday evening, whim upwards of seventy members and their friends sat down ; Commo dore C. THELLU9ON SW in the chair, Vice• Commodore Lord liurghley occupying the vice-chair. It proved to be one of the most successful and unanimous gatherings in the our all of the club. The club programme of Thursday was as follows : Prize of 201. for yachts of from 20 to 40 toes, belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, for which the following vessels entered and started :—The Oprey. yawl, 35 tons, Lord Burghley ; the Moonbeam, cutter, 23 tons, Mr. P. Roberta ; the Crusader, ditto, 30 tons, Lieuteoant J. Sladeo, R.E. ; the Emmet. ditto, 32 tons, Mr. W. W. F. Hay. Time race, whole Acker's sails. A prize of 501., open to all yaehta belonging to any Royal 'Focht Club. Time rare, half Acker's scale. No restric tioos in thin race as to nails, crew, or ballad. For this race there entered :—The 51edee, schooner, 70 tons, Mr. W. T. Rideout ; the Marina, cutter, 65 tour, Mr. J. C. Murrill ; the Audaz, cutter, 62 toot, Mr. J. It. Johnson ; the Flying Cloud. schooner, 75 tone, Count 13atthyany ; and the Tinder, cutter (iron), 45 tons, Mr. A. Duncan. The time for starting the first four vessels for the 201. prize was hied for 10 a.m., and, with commendable punc tuality, they were started et the appointed time, in the presence of • dead calm, to look for a breeze. The second match was commenced at 10.3.5. None of the vessels had completed their two rounds of the coarse at 7.10 p.m. ; and if not concluded within the time prescribed by the rules of the club, which was not very probable, the result would be " no match," and the two prizes would probably be sailed for aria. The races were both singularly uninterest ing, from the absence of wind in the fore part of the day, sod the improtability of either match being concluded from want of time. Reds pier eras thronged during the day with all the fashion and celebrities of the town, neighbourhood, sad the yachting world. A SPORTING LIBEL CASE. FEARFUL MURDER IN WOLVERHAMPTON. WOLVERHAMPTON, AUGUST 14. A terrible crime Las been committed in this 1 . town. In Bil,ton-street there is • wide court, known as the Barracks, but correctly as No. Four-court. Here there , are about ei ght houses oo either aide, that are tenanted at , 2s. 3d. a week. Upon the occupancy of one of these there entered five or six weeks ago a young man and woman who seemed to obtain • livelihood by making and vending skewers of iron wire. The woman appeared to be the most active in the calling, but she never mode herself very so ciable with her neighbours, and was observed to be very careful when she desired only to go to the other end of the court to lock her door. On the evening of Monday, now nearly • month ago, the woman locked the house door, end told • next door neigh bour that she was going out, and if any one called they were to be told that she was gone into the country. A few days after her departure • repeatable looking woman came front Willenhall, • neighbouring township, and inquired for Mr. Williamson, her son, who was alleged to be the tenant cf the house, and who had maned for the husband of the woman referred to. The message left by the woman was de livered, and old Mrs. Williamson desired that her son should be told to write to his mother, as she wished to bear from him. Whether or not the women who made the inquiries was the person she alleged herself to be has not yet trans pired. Since that time the quietude of the closed house has been undisturbed. The shutters of the front room on the ground floor have remained closed, and the window of the front room upstairs has been darkened by • thin muslin curtain and a coaxes petticoat. Very offensive odours have for several days past annoyed the tenants right and left of the closed hones ; but this wee in each ease attributed to some local cause in the respective houses arising out of domestic arrangements, and little suspicion mums to have been excited that the cause was in the house which lay between the two in which the annoyance was moat ex perienced. The landlord called for hi rent ; but notwith standing the long absence of his tenants did not take steps to enter the house, believing from the appearance of the woman (to whom and not to the man he let the house) that his tenants were respectable people for their sphers,aud that they would be home after harvest time. This morning the neighbour with whom the message bad been delivered by the woman tenant became uncomfortably inquisitive, and expreesiog • wish to • neighbour named Mary Lees that she should like to know what furniture was left in the house, Lees ',roamed a key and opened the door. On entering a strong stench seemed stirred by the air. Acoorupeuied by • neighbour, another woman named Smith. she went upstairs. There th e stench became ea stroog that she exclaimed "There is some one dead in this house." Proceeding • step or two further, she saw in the front room that which made her call out, "Good God! come and see whatever it is." Mrs. Smith ran op stairs, but to do so it required great moral courage on her part, so exceedingly offensive was the effluvium. On the floor of the mom lay a mattress, and upon it there was stretched, covered over with • sheet and coverlet, what was evidently the corpse of SD adult human being. Mn. Lees, approaching to the foot of the bed, polled off with some difficulty the quilt and sheet, for a portion of them was wrapped round and tucked under the head of the corpse. When the cover let was drawn off • scene indescribably repulsive lay before the esereber• On the mattress lay the blackened and de composing body of a man or a woman literally swarm ing with and, partially eaten by maggots. The body was blackened net with decay alone, and the sheets and madras were discoloured not simply by the progreasof de composition, but by what appeared to have been hot gas tar poured upon it during lffe. With this, upon the sheets, upon the mattress, and upon the floor around the bed, blood was intermixed, and it was also found apart from the tar. One eye bad been gouged oat, and it ley upon the cheek, only slightly connected with its former position. The nose was broken, one jaw was supposed to be broken, one lip was cut, • thumb was broken, sod there seemed to be an incised wound on the thigh and upon another portion of the body near to that limb. The murdered man—for such the deceased would seem to be—wore, as be lay in bed, only a shirt and waistcoat ; and there is no doubt that some hand mast have tended hint after he was unable to do anything for himself. This is clear from the manngr iu which his bead was covered with the bed clothes. These were fastened over the face, tight enough to secure suffocation if death had not previ ously taken plane. To remove this covering so much force had to be applied by the woman Lees that when the coverlet came off the face and bead, the hair of the corpse came away with it ; and its colour convinced the women that the deceased was the young man Williamson who had passed for the husband of the woman who lived with him, but who left the house on the occasion and under the circum. stances already described, and who has not since been seen. The inquest was held yesterday afternoon. Before the in quiry commenced a wooan present volunteered • statement to the effect that some time since she had known the de ceased by the name of )3111,1t0d she now remembered his name to be William Williams. She was able to identify him by his trousers, which on one occasion she had mended. His mother lived at Portobello, a small town near Wolverhamp ton. A letter addressed to him bad once been left at her house, and she had known him when he lived in Sir iniughani. He was not married, but he lived with a woman known by the name of Rose. This woman she had out seen for more than three weeks, "but," she added, "she knows all about it. She is a bad, good for nothing woman." Mary Lee. the woman who first found the body, and the first witness deposed-1 knew the decea sed. His name was William Williamson, and he and the woman with whom he lived were berdware hawkers. I live at No. 4 Court, Bilstonetreet,Wolverhampton, three doom from the house formerly occupied by the deceased. 1 last saw Wil Hammon alive on Monday three weeks at the bottom of the court, and he then appeared be about 23 yeses of age. and to be in good health. He was then dressed in a round Neckcloth jacket, a pair of corduroy tronsen, and • black cloth esp. On the evening of the same day I saw the woman with whom he lived go to the tap at the back of the budding for seine water. After filling her kettle she returned to the house, and I have not seen her since. About 9 o'clock on the same night I beard the woman go to • neighbour's house, and leave word that should any one inquire for them, to say they were gone into the country to hawk their wares. On the following morning I noticed that the door was locked, and the shutters of the lower window closed. I did not suspect anything till Monday afternoon last, when • Mr. Morrell called my attention to the fact that the upstairs window was kept constantly curtained by an old shawl, and asked me if I did not think that some one in the house was ill. I said, "I should think not; I don't think that any one hem been in the house since they went off." Nothing further was said or done uutil about half-past 10 o'clock this morning, when being in the pantry of the adjoining house, and smelling a dreadful steoch, I borrowed a key end unlocked the deer. I and a Mrs. Smith then went in. In the lower room was a box used as a table, and covered apparently with the remains of a mod, consist lag of broken bread, slops of tea, Sic. By the aide of the large box was a smeller one which bad been used as a chair. Buides these there was no other furniture in the room. The house was filled with a disgusting stench. I and my com panion went upstairs, and there found the dead body of deceased lying upon • strew mattress oe the floor. He was completely covered by • quilt end sheet. The quilt was turned over his face and head, the back of which was lying upon it. The clothes were so carefully and tightly placed round his bead, that I do tot think he could have so placed them himself. The quilt and sheet were completely saturated with gem tar, which hot also been spilt about the room. The tar was quite dry and bard. With some difficulty I turned down the covering, and then found the dead man's left eye hanging out. I had often noticed this eye because it was sightlees. His nose was broken, and around his hand was a piece of linen. On removing this it was found that the thumb was also broken. Mr. Gibbons, • surgeon, who happened to be going by at the time, was celled in, and inspected the body. By the side of the bed were the deceased's trousers, but in addition to this I saw so wearing apparel. A policeman who went to the house soon after the dis covery stated that there bad been found in thebouse a num ber of articles which were supposed to belong to the para mour of the murdered man. The wintry was here adjourned for a fortnight in order that every inquiry might be made, and that a careful pot 4 modem marnination of the body might take place. It 4 thought that some material and important evidence will then be forthcoming. SHOCKING DEATH OF AN OMNIBUS CoNpuvros. —Between 4 and 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon two Whitechapel omnibuses were miming along Hoth•rn nearly together. The conductor or the tint 'bun, travelling from the Royal Cisk, and belonging to the General Omnibus Com pany. got down from his 'bus nearly facing Furnivd's-ion —probably to tout a passenger—pc/Wipe to "skid" the wheel of bis 'bus. The second 'bus pluming between the first and waiting 'bus and the loot-pavement knocked down the first conductor, and the wheels of the 'bus went over the head of the unfortunate mars, killing him on the spot. The driver of the 'bus in question was arrested on his return journey on Snow-hill, on the charge of killing the who was named Charles Fox. Tbeoecurrenoe was rendered the more melancholy by the presence of the wife of the conductor, Fog, who was riding in her hu.band'e 'bus at the moment when her &taxed was no suddenly killed. She wan taken to the shop of a neighbouring tobaccootd earned donee, on Holborn-hill. Several surgeons were called, but their aid wee unavailing. The body was removed to Bar tholomew's Hospital. FIRS AT TUE ALBERT DOCK, LlVERPOOL—Yee tenlay a fire broke out in the esltpetre shed of the Albert Dock warehouses, which at one time threatened to he very serious. Fortunately, however, Mr. Barrett, with the West of Blighted fire•eogioe, wee soon on the spot, and the fire immediately subdued. There were several bags of saltpetre destroyed. and some more damaged by the action of the I water. Beyond this however, there was no other injury of importance sustained. Mr. Abbott, the Under-Sherif of Surrey, recently executed a writ of inquiry at the Town•hall, Croydon, to mess the damages in an action of hbid brought by Mr. Sydney Juoisi, an owner of race-hones, and who is well known upon the turf, against Robert CAnaon, the trainer, in which judgment was allowed to p by default. Mr. Joyce was counsel for the phuntiff, sad Mr. Robinson for the defendant. Mr. Joyas addressed the jury, and said that the plaintiff bad been for many years connected with raciog matten, and the defendant was welt knows as a trainer and brother to a more celebrated roan residiog in the north of England. In the beginning of the year the defendant had the eats of two race-hones belongiug to the plaintiff, called Passion and the Duchess of Kent, but in }ebruary the latter sold them to a gentleman named Simons, but they still remained at the de fendant's stalles. After they bed been there some time Mr. Simons was desirous of removing them, and on the 10th of June he went down to Mickleham for the purpcee of doing so. The defendant was not at home, and his wife objected to the hones being taken away, and he was th erefore obliged to return without them. On the following day he received the letter that was the subject of the action. The learned counsel read the letter, which contained the following pia. gages •—" lam not surprised that you should have come down to Mickleham to remove the horses at a time when you knew 1 was away I wonder ou can allow yotuvelf to play into the hands of that thief' Jacobs, end do his dirty work for him." This was the portion which was the subject of the libel, but the letter went on to charge Jacobs with having attempted to bribe the boys about the stables, and stated that the bones should not be removed until the defeedant had been paid what Jacobs owed him, adding that be did not are so , much about himself as the poor people about Mickleham to whom the plaintiff owed mosey. The learned counsel ; said he did not ask for vindictive damages ; but the defen . dant had admitted the libel. and they ought to award such an amount as would clear his character in the eyes of the ' world, and show that there was no foundation for the serious charge that had been made splint him. Mr. H. M. Simons was then examined, and said be was a medical man practising in Walworth, and he also took an interest in racing matters. He knew the plaintiff as being connected with the turf ; and in the begioning of the year he purchased two bones of him, which were at the time in training with the defendant, Mr. Tango°. At the request of Mr. Jacobs he continued to keep the horses at Mickle ham after he had purchased them ; but about the month of June, for wine reasons which it was not neemeary for him to mention, he mu desirous of removing the hones, and he went down to the defendant's stables for that purpose ; but be woo not et home, and his wife objected to the boes being removed, and he come away without them. Hs afterwards received the letter that was the subject of the libel, and showed it to the plaintiff. . . . . Crose-examine,l—Witsem was a aufteos by PrtecogiM but he combined a little raciog with it at times. He only followed raciog moistly fora few months since he had purchased these horses. He bad know§ Jacobs a good many years, but he was not related either to himself or his wife ; but he was aware that be knew • good deal about racing matters, and be therefore consulted him. The defendant s he believed, bud been his trainer for • considerable time. Mr. P,Obioson Liked the witness whether be did not know, or had not heard that at the time these bones were sought to be removed, Jacobs owed l'Auson a miadderable sum of money. Mr. Joyce objected to the question being put, but the U•der-Sheriff roled that it was admiesible. The witness then said he might have heard so, but be knew nothing about it. He was aware that Hampton Races took place on the 10th June, but be did not go down particularly on that day to fetch the horses because be thought the defendant would be at the races. He had heard that the defendant Lad sent an apology in writing to the solicitor for the plaintiff, but he sever saw it. One of the holies, Passion, was dead, but the defendant bad given up the other. They bad both run since they bad been witness's property. Passion ran at Epsom, and the Duchess of Rent at Reigate, and the latter was in the Oaks next year. The horses ran in the name of Madeleine, which was • time suggested by Mr. Jacobs on aceonet of its being an uncommon one. He acted wader the advice of Mr. Jacobs in all matters relating to ruing. Witness had brought an action against the defendant to recover 300/., the value of the horses, and for neglect in !raising thew. Upon one occasion the witness aces= engagement for a horse called Volunteer, and responsible for the amount of the stakes, an d he did so at the request of Mr. Jacobs. Mr. Robinson then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant in mitigation of damages. He said he dad not dis pute that the defendant bad acted improperly in writing the letter ; but immediately afterwards he had made all the re paration in his mower, and he submitted that this was all that could 'be expected, and that the present action ought never to have been brought against him, the only object of which wee to gratify • feeling of vie ' dictiveness, and saddle him with expenses and law charges. He commented on the &beeves of the plaintiff, and maid that if be had beer called as a witness, be should have been enabled to have elicited from him whether there was any truth in the suggestion that at the time the attempt was made to remove the horses, Jacobs was indebted to the defendant a considerable sam for training and other ex penses. He said, however, that as the case stood at present he thought the jury could not entertain any doubt of this fact, and it was clear that the defendant was tinder the im pression that the pretended tale of the hones to Simms was merely • juggle to shift the ownership, and enable the latter to obtain possessiou of the horses, which defendant considered be was entitled to keep until the lien which be bad upon them was discharged. He went on to contend that it was very natural for the de fendant to be ender such an impression, and also that he should think that advantage had been taken of knowing that he would be at the Hampton Races, to go to his stables during his absence and terry out the project ; and that upon his return at tight, finding this to be the case, and probably a little excited from having been at the races, Ihe wrote the letter in questioe. He had, however apo lugited imtnedietoly, and he submitted in conclusion th at the plaintiff had in reality sustained uo damage whatever, and he hoped the jury would say so by their verdict. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff-damages one farthing. The effect of this verdict will be that each party pays his own costa. DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORIES. The Toronto Globe of the 28th July says :—" We have to communicate intelligence which, if fully arta blished by further examination and inquiry, will and new life to the teal of North-Western adventurere, and hasten the opening up of the territory ate rate which will outrun the anticipations of the most aroguiee. For some time it has been known that gold WAS to be found on the Saskatchewan River, near the Rocky Moun tains. and it wee ()renamed that it had been washed by the river from the gukhlwerieg rocks of these moue tains, and would consequently be found only in the beds of the rivers, and not elsewhere in the territory. Recent discoveries indicate that this view of the matter is not correct, and that in order to find the gold of the North- West it will not be necessary to traverse the whole breadth of the great plain. to the bead waters of the Saskatehewae. Gold has been discovered at Fort Ellice on the Assiniboine. and ale° on branches of the Qu'Anpelle River, streams which unite and run into the Red River, and have no con nexion with the Rocky Mountain range. Of this foci there eau be no doubt. It is not only communicated by letter from Rod River, but Governor DAUM., of the Ray Company, who has recently arrived from the territory, is personally cos;ntsaut of the discovery. The question arises, from whence comes this gold ?—where lie the rocks from which it has been displaced ! Professor Hind of this city. who explored the country for our government in 10i54, supplies an answer. He says in his report that he discovered in St. Martin's Lake, a small sheet of water lying between lakes Waniloha end Winnipeg, gneiasnid rock., traversed by quartz and telepathic reins, and that these being goliLbeariug rocks he searched for it„ but no thing was found, probably owing to the lack of time. The deduction which be now draws from the discovery of gold on the pinkie of the Aminiboiee is that the pre cious metal hes been conveyed with the drift from ranges of gold.licaring recta, running parallel with the Lake Winnipeg basin, and the Lnureutian fornia tion on the eastern side of the lake and extending to the north-went 'wyonil Lake Arthabana. He consider* it cer tain that all over the drat of the pleies, tram Lek, Maio tole to the Rocky Nountaius. gold will be towel, though, as • matter of course, the wideness of the field can only lie ascer tained by actual wining operations. We understand that Governor Dallas sashed gold with his own bands et Fort Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, and in further proof of the exinteece of the precious metal we may add that large num hers of the `Selkirk people have come west to enter upon regular mining operations. We ear no reason to doubt that the whole of these vast plains will very soon be cowered by a busy population. The means of communication alone are wauting, and we are happy to learn that the new iludsou's Ray Company contetnplaten • very speedy openimt up of the territory. It ia hoped that steamboats will he running on the Saskatchewan within • year from the present date. The pleat of the company contemplate also, in spite of their prospectus, the immediate assumption by the crown of the lieregion lying between Lake Winnipeg and the Rocky Mountains, south of Lake and River Arthabasai, with the exception of such tertian (reported to be every alternate 'section) as will be devoted to repay the company for opening the communisation by common roads, and steamers on the rivers from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains, and afterwards by • railway, which, it hoped. will be finished within ten years. Further explana tions of the plane for the government of the country and other matters will doubtless be speedily afforded to the go vernment and duly weighed by them. The prospect of the realiention of our long-indulged hopes of the opening up of the territory seems, however, to be very favourable."
