If ONEY MA 7TI If CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have shown rather more buoyancy, and higher rates have been realised for several of the principal staples. There has been an active demand for tea, and some large transac tions have taken place in common congou. Sugars have been in more active request, and prices have exhibited an upward tendency, particularly for good and fine qualities of British Plantation. In the Refined Market higher rates have been current for dried goods• Extensive sales of Plantation Ceylon coffee have taken place, and enhanced prices have in most instances been obtained. The in quiries for rice, however, have been limited, and rather easier rates have been accepted by holders. Saltpetre has been dull, owing to large quantities being announced for pubiic sale. The sales of indigo continue to proceed with considerable ani mation, the rates realised at the opening being well maintained. The sales of foreign and colonial - wool will commence on the 21st inst., when the large quantity of 88,000 bales will be put up for public competition. Tallow continues extremely inactive, and prices have further receded. P.Y.C. on the spot is at 3s. 63., and last three months, 545. per cwt. Owing to the decline in the terms of discount, the joint•stock banks have reduced their rate of interest for deposits to 13- per cant. Even at that quotation they are likely to have more money than they can immediately employ, in consequence of the dulness of trade and speculation. With the exception of a few railway calls and loan instal ments there is nothing, apart from commercial requirements, to stimulate the demand ; and until an impulse is given to enterprise, the market may be expected to retain its present easy appearance. Accounts from Liverpool state that in the Cotton Market, yesterday, rather less activity was appa rent, but prices remained very firm. The sales were estimated at 10,000' dales. In Railway shares a moderate business was transacted, and prices in Most instances presented a slight improvement. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The demand for silver is moderately active, and the price remains steady at s"s• 2/d., but a few parcels have been disposed of at s s.'2ld. per oz. standard. The Ocean. Queen has been announced this morn ing from New York, with £280,000 in specie. The market for English Securities to-day has been rather quieter, but the variation has amounted to 1 per cent. Consols closed yesterday at 95! 4 ; this morning they were 93/ 1, but an improvement to 951 I has since occurred. The latest quotation is 95i i t-. The other markets all show an im proving tendency. Several transfers have taken place, at prices ranging from 95/ to 951. Bank Stock is firmer, at 221 i to 223; the New Three per Cents. are steady, at 951 96; but the Reduced are fiat, 951 I; India Stock has improved to 218-3. to 221; ditto Loan Debentures, at 96 1 ; and the Scrip, 950 I ; and Exchequer Bills are 275. to 295. premium. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues rather active, and prices are well maintained. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 83 to 85 ; ditto, New, 71 to 73; and the 4 per Cents, are marked 1031 and 1041 ; Dutch 4 per Cents. have advanced to 101; Russian 41 per Cents. to 99 ; Sardinian, to 86 and 87 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., to 941; Mexican is steady at 191 ; Peruvian (Uribarren), at 81; ditto 3 per Cents., at 71; Spanish 3 per Cents., at 44 ; ditto Deferred, at _. 321; and Venezuelan 2f per Cents., 29 ; but the 1 per Cents. are firmer at 156.

PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE SEAT OF WAR. VINZAGLIO.—i have just returned with.my camera and three negatives from Palestro. I had taken five, but a stupid Piedmontese soldier came and lifted up my tent, and thrust his head and shoulders in, knocking down a couple of them which I had stood up to drain, and completing their destruction by lay ing hold of them with his clumsy paws and rubbing away half the firm. They will not be quite like what I hoped to send you. You will see many dead bodies scattered about among the trees, and many lying side by side, ready to be thrown into the hole in which they will be interred as soon as it has been dug, but no bodies of men in actual conflict; I felt it would be absolutely impossible to get near enough to pitch my camera, though I was myself able to see the fight distinctly from beginning to end. At Torrione the night preceding the battle, nearly everybody was in the street expecting every minute to hear the report of guns. I tried to get some sleep, intending to start as soon as it was light to see if there was any sign of a battle being fought, or if the Austrians had continued their retreat. There was no time lost after the sun rose in pre paring to get away. I threw my glass over my shoulder, put a piece of bread in my pocket, and was off with the padre, his brother, and four or five others. We took the direction of Palestro, and pursuing our way across the fields, it was not until we had got near it that we approached at all closely the allied tooops. We first came upon a strong force of Sardinians marching along the road towards Confienza—remained standing in the field beside the road until these had passd. The appear ance of the men and their bearing were such as to inspire confidence in them. The expression of their faces was resolute and determined, though different. Some were smiling, and stepped out with an air of eagerness, as if they were going to a dance instead of a fight ; others seemed deadly pale by comparison with the swarthy faces about them, and these were not the least resolute-looking. It sent a thrill through me as they went marching by, entirely silent as regards voices, and giving no sound but the regular tramp, tramp, mixed with the rattling of the scabbards of the cavalry, and the jingling of the accoutrements of the horses. As soon as the roadwas sufficiently clear we crossed - over and continued our wapaerOss the fields, regu lating our progress by the march of the troops, which we could now see moving towards Palestro in considerable numbers. With my glass I could distinctly see the Austrians in the last-named place, and as it was evident that the battle was to be fought there we made our way to a little group of tall trees, up which we climbed, perching our. selves on the branches and waiting for the com mencement of the slaughter. It was the most exciting time I ever spent in my life. My heart beat at a tremendous rate, not from fear, for there really was nothing to fear beyond the exceedingly improbable event of a shell bursting among us, but there was something terrible in the spectacle of bodies of men preparing to kill each other. The Austrians were the first to begin. I hap pened to be looking in their direction at the moment and saw the bright flash, and at the same time that I heard the roar of the gun, I saw a slight movement among a body of soldiers who were ascending the slope, and then the dirt fly up in little columns behind them until the ball came to a stop in the field. , Another report followed, the troops increased their speed, and soon the air was filled with a confused sound of reports of small arms, the booming report of cannon, and the shouting of the men engaged. There was a large body of Piedmontese, who halted when within a short distance of the Austrians and fired, and then dashed forward to charge with the bayonet. I could see an officer a little in advance of the foremost rank waving his sword, and bis face turned rather towards them, I suppose urging them on, who was struck to the grou..d as if by a flash of lightning. Another dark•looking figure ap peared immediately in his place ; the goal was gained, there was a concussion, a confused waving of arms, mingled with rapid flashes from concealed individuals who seemed to be firing among the attacking party, who were forced back in a mass, and retired for some distance—the Austrians fol lowing them but a little way and then going back and giving place to the artillery,which recommenced firing, and the first few balls making a complete line through the mass of troops who were mixed up together in confusion. This was the most pain ful spectacle that met my eye during the whole of the battle. While they were in actual conflict there was something stirring and exciting, which made one feel a longing to be among them, but to see men struck, beaten, and torn to pieces when they were in a perfectly helpless condition made my blood run cold. Fortunately this did not last long. A fresh body of troops advanced to the attack as con fidently as if nothing had happened to their comrades. There was the same scene, but instead of their fol lowing the downward course of those who had pre ceded them, I could see them pressing closely upon the Austrians in a dense mass. The Austrians held their ground firmly and tried to force them back, but not succeeding they began to give way, very slowly at first, for those behind pressed those in front forward, but gradually the backward movement was communicated to those in the rear, and they receded more and more rapidly before the pressure of the allied troops until they were hidden from my sight by intervening objects. Looking to another part of the field,. I was sur prised to see a body of Austrians almost close to our post of observation, advancing at quick step in the direction of a body of French troops, who were facing about, and in two minutes more were rush ing to meet them at a kind of trot. Several men fell on both sides when they came into collision, and others were for ce d i nto their places • those who had fallen being t rampled upon by both parties alternately. S ome h and-to-hand fi g hting ensued, the French fighti ng w i th the ferocity o f t i ger cats, and grad ua ll y compelling the Austrians to re treat, not in a brok en an d d i sorderly ma nner, but in a compact mas s , w hi c h rendered it difficult to do them much harm with the bayonet, but rendered them an easy mark for the 'French rifles. The French troops scattered themselves a little, and fired into the retreating Austrians as fast as they could load app arent l y without any or d ers, an d fighting on th e s i mp l e principl e o f doing the enemy as much harm as poss i ble. Two or three t i mes when the Fren c h so ldi ers approached very c lO se l y, a portion of the A ustr i an troops t u rned at bay, and drove them back a li tt l e, but the m oment they re sumed their retr ea t th ey were harassed anew. A s far as I could jud ge th ey lost ten times as many i n this way as in the ac t ua l conflict. It was a h orr ibl e sight ; the contending parties were so close to me that 1 could distinguish the cries of the wounded mingled with French oaths, and the rattling sound of the guns as they came in contact. It was during this part of the battle that I and those with me had a narrow escape of being shot like so many rooks. A thick-headed Sardinian peasant, whose patriotism exceeded his discretion, had managed to get hold of a gun somewhere, and thought it an excellent opportunity of getting a shot at the Tedeschi. He was perched on a branch in the t ree nex t th e one in which I was, and had Just got th e gun t o hi s s h oulder when the padre's brother, wh o was a li tt l e above him in the same tree, caught sight of his operations, and with an instinctive sense of the danger he was about to bring upon us, gave him a tremendous kick on the side of the head which sent him tumbling from branch to branch almost to the ground. There was a good deal more fighting than that I have endeavoured to describe, but it was 'not so closely under my eyes and by slow degrees the firing ceased altogether, and we concluded the battle was at an end. As soon as we descended to the ground the priest proposed that we should see if we could do anything for the wounded, and of course we were all willing to adopt his suggestion. Their groans would have directed us to where they were lying, even if we had not been able to see them. You can form no conception of the sickening sensa tion I felt when I found myself in the midst of pools of blood, which splashed about at every step, spreading a sickening smell in the atmosphere. ve and laid g gently on n The bodies of th e slain were lying pell- m ell among thoevwedouenacdhedinsuccession,r very few ofwhom were them able to nt with draw themselv es f rom the horrible contact. We in their l b e a a v c k n g — t t it h e ed m t e h a u s d , d u y n i t i g t , h a e n d m w e n o u w n h d o e h d a s d i d g e o b n y e to get some water returned with the patrols who were out collecting the wounded. No time was lost in selecting those, who were placed in the ambul ance first ; they were taken pretty much at random, only those who seemed actually dying were passed over in favour of those whose wounds seemed slighter.—Phothographie News. EXTENSION OF THE DIVORCE ACT.—The Govern ment have determined to extend the benefits conferred on the community by the Divorce Act of 1857. The public will have observed in our law reports the facilities already afforded by the " full" Court by the absolute dissolution of marriages no longer tolerable to the parties pc, ining under their yoke. These facilities are now to be extended. A bill just presented by the new Lord Chancellor enacts that all the judges of the three superior courts of common law shall be judges of the Divorce Court, in addition to the judges already appointed by the Act 20 and 21 Victoria, cap. 85. The Judge-Ordinary (Cresswell) and eight of the other judges of the court are to appoint so many sittings of the full Court (for dissolving marriages) every year, and at such times as may appear to them necessary or convenient. The Court, when it shall so think fit, is authorised to sit with closed doors. The Court may make orders as to the custody of children after a final decree of separation or divorce (1 vineti/o. With a view to prevent fraud and collu sion, every petition for dissolving a marriage will be re. ferred to the Attorney-General.

We regret to hear that Rear-Admiral Henry Dundas Trotter, while paying a visit at the Hydro.- graphic Department at the Admiralty yesterday afternoon, was seized with a paralytic attack. The gallant Arctic voyager was at once conveyed to his residence, in Devonshire-place. A strong line of defences to connect Fort Gomer with Fort Monkton, in the Portsmouth district, will be commenced forthwith. The Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Viscount Gilford, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday under the superintendence of Capt. A. Farquhar, of her Majesty's ship Victory. She had been officially inspected the day previous by Commander Gard ner, of her Majesty's ship Asia, in the absence of Capt. Gordon, commanding steam reserve, who passed the highest encomiums on her senior lieute nant for the cleanly state of the ship, and the man ner in which she had been cleared out, and her gear, &c., returned to store. The same evening the crew had leave ashore until yesterday morning, the time appointed for paying off, when every man returned on board perfectly sober and clean, a credit to themselves and their officers. The whole of the crew, with the exception of some half dozen, have rejoined the service. We regret to hear that her gallant commander, Viscount Gilford, still suffers at times most acutely from the wound which he received in his arm at the taking of Canton. The Neptune, 91, screw, Capt. Sir W. Hoste, will leave Portsmouth harbour on Monday'next, and anchor at Spithead. This fine old three decker sailing ship, recently converted into a screw two-decker, is not surpassed, in point of beauty, by any modern ship belonging to the Queen's service. Trafalgar, 91, screw, Captain Edward G. Fan shawe, may be expected to arrive at Spithead to day or to-morrow. A court-martial will be held this morning on board the Victory, flagship, in Portsmouth harbour, to try Mr. C. A. Goodyer, late paymaster of her Majesty's ship H orne t, on a c h arge of neglect of duty. The paddle-wheel steam vessel Firefly, hr ving been thoroughly repaired at Woolwich, was yester day ordered to be masted and rigged, and other wise prepared for immediate commission for coast service. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander H. F. M'Kil lop, to be Inspecting Commander of the Coastguard ; Lieut. Hawksworth F aw k es , to t h e I mper i euse ; and Lieut. Henry E. Stephens to the Urgent. THE ARMY.

Second Lieutenant Framp- ton, Royal Marines, recently joined, yesterday left Woolwich in charge of 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 40 privates, belonging to that division, for service on board her Majesty's screw steam-ship Mars, 80, at Sheerness. The head-quarters of the Ist battalion of the 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment having arrived at G raves en d, from Calcutta, in the King Philip, the depot companies of the regiment at Chatham are ordered to proceed from that garrison to Gravesend this day, in order to join head-quarters. The depot is upwards of 250 strong. Yesterday a detachment of 112 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marine Light Infan try and the Marine Artillery, under the command of Capt. G.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsa4 at five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Pro v;sionel Council of Auckland, praying fur a separate legis lature for, that colony. LLEVATE BUSINESS. the,motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Mountsorrel Railway Bill was read, a second time ; and the London and South-Western Railway and the Border Counties Railway bills were read a third time, and passed. • . THE BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE RAILW,AY. - On the motion that this bill be read a third time • cord STANLEY of ALDERLEY complained of the provisions of the bill, especially to one which empowered he company to stop up a certain street in Birkenhead, which was at present of great convenience to the public. The clause for stopping up the crossing had been inserted in the committee, and he moved, as an amendment, that the stop cage should not take place without the consent of the -Mersey Dock and Harbour Company. - Lord TORRINGTON defended the clause inserted in committee. After a short discussion, in which the Earl of Chichester, • Lord Redesdale, Lord Colchester, and the Earl of Donough more, took part, it was decided that the question should be referred to the Board of Trade, and the debate was there upon adjourned. LORD STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE'S MOTION. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said it would be recollected that a few evenings ago he proposed to bring the Italian question under discussion, but he had postponed bringing forward that motion, reserving the right of doing so at a future time. In consequence, however, of a treaty of 'peace having been signed, he begged to withdraw his notice from the paper altogether. ATTORNEY AND SOLICITORS' BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second, reading of this bill, which was to improve the education and status of solicitors and attorneys, and to shbrten the terms of clerkship to three years of those who had taken a degree at one of the universities. • After a few remarks from Lord BROUGHAM, The bill was read a second time. THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY'S TERRITORY. The Earl of CARNARVON askedwhether her Majesty's Government intended in the present session to take any fwl eicrrheoneldse,eorntfoeathtsruaedrieer,:ctut,tceinathvlyteheaesttelrlioarnylms. steps with reference to the North American territory over which the Hudson's Bay Company had held an, exclusive 'teleaHe h remarkedevery cvhesdirection, question t t the had until recently been under the government of the Hudson's Bay Company. That portion of it which lay behind the in land sea called Hudson's Bay, and which included the land drained by the rivers pOuring into that sea, had been given to the company by a charter of Charles 11. ; but the o th er portion, laying.on the western, a si de__thajvatershed of the Rocky Mountains, and w a t ere d by streams which either discharged themselves into the Pacific or flowed southwards towards the United States frontier, was devoted to Indian occupation, though it had for many y ears b een under the government of the Hudson's Bay Company in virtue of their exclusive license to trade. In 1821,an act was passed which empowered the Crown to grant that license ; and in 1838 the license war renewed for 21 years, and that term expired on the Ist of May this year. Ilis,rig4 hon. friend then at the head of the Colonial-office, after giving the subject his best consideration, decided that it would be in expedient to renew the license on the same terms. Great changes were taking Fdace, year after year, in that region of the world ; British Columbia had risen to a very consi derable position, and Canada itself had acquired a great aug mentation of population and wealth. All these conditions were adverse to the 'renewal of the license. There was a strong opinion ' also, prevaili ng upon t h e su b ject both here and in Canadaadverse ,to the renewal of the license. It had therefore been determined not to renew the license, but to allow it to drop without making any provision for the go vernment of those large territories would be very dangerous. His right lion. friend the late Secretary for the ,Colonies therefore determined to offer the Hudson's Bay Company the renewal of their license for one year. The company refused this, and he then offered it for two years, which the com pany declined. On various grounds it was most undesir able to re-establish this monopoly for more than two years. The circumstances under which its first establishment took place were such as to supply a reason for it which no longer existed. Without going into the long history of the con test between the Hudson's Bay Company and the North- Western Fur Cempany, in which some blood was spilt and frequent atrocities were committed, he would observe that at the period when Parliament was called upon to interpose for the settlement of that dispute, Canada and the other British North American' provinces were in a very un developed state, and if those vast hunting grounds to the north-west, divided from Canada by lakes and rivers, and by an immense interval of space, had been placed under the Canadian jurisdiction, that jurisdiction would have been little more than nominal. On the other hand, to have aban doned the territory would have been to invite a recurrence of the old feuds. The exclusive license was therefore bes towed on the Hudson's Bay Company. It was now alleged that by the establishment of that system the Indian tribes had been preserved. If it had preserved them, however, it had reduced th em t o h e l plessness, and make them depend upon the company for their very subsistence ; they looked to the company for their food and clothing, and for all the necessaries of iife. Great care must therefore be taken, in any arrangements that might be made, lest the sudden withdrawal of that, superintendence should prove destruc tive to the Indians. It had been said that the Hudson's Bay Company's license should be maintained for the sake of the fur trade. He did not underrate the value of the fur trade, but it should not be the first consideration. He believed it would be possible, for many years to come, to devote a great part of the North American Continent ex clusively as a hunting-ground for fur-bearing animals, but he desired to see the more southerly portion, which was capable of cultivation, properly colonised. The first object, however, must be to establish as early as possible some provisional authority to dispense justice in that country, and to deal with all questions of conflict arising, whether among the white men themselves, or be tween white men and Indians, oramongst the Indians them selves. It would also be requisite to enforce the salutary I regulations under which alone the sale of spirits had been. allowed. The more serious class of offences should be trans ferred to another tribunal, by sending the offenders to take their trial in one of the neighbouring colonies—British Columbia, or the Red Ri ver Settlement. Officers or magi strates might be appointed to reside in different parts of the country, and although they could not have a large staff at their disposal, they might be in the same position as her Majesty's consuls and vice-consuls in the East, and exercise great influence in the region where they dwelt. He quite admitted that throughout a great part of these extensive territories colonisation was impracticable, and would pro bably continue to be so, as long as richer and pleasanter parts of the earth remained for human occupation. But the report of an officer sent by Mr. Labouchere to examine the country, and other exploring expeditions made within the last two years, had shown that from the Red River Settle ment to the base of the Rocky Mountains, there existed in many districts a fertile soil, well timbered, and well watered, the natural capabilities of which were proved by the fact that it was the chosen haunt of enormous herds of buffaloes, and there could be no doubt of its fitness for agricultural occu pations. Gold, indeed, had been the chief attraction to draw population to British Columbia and other new countries; but wherever nature afforded a fair prospect of reward t o encou rage the energy of man, there colonisation might be expected to advance, if it were not precluded by impolitic restrictions. The noble lord concluded by recapitulating the points which he had brought forward, namely, the establishment of a line of stations between Canada on one side and British Columbia on the other; the establishment of colonies, however small, which would give to this country undisputed sovereignty on thenorthemside of theboundary; theestablishmentofatleast a provisional system of government, and the appointment of magistrates in the territories to exercise controland adminis ter justice, and the application of the hunting grounds to the purposes for which they were intended. • Above all he would press on the Government that the privileges of a trad ing company should not be allowed to stand in the way of imperial colonisation. the Duke of NEWCASTLE said that his noble friend had made so long and interesting a tour in North Americ and had travelled so far beyond the limits of the question of which he had given notice, that he (the Duke of Newcastle) would probably not be able to reply in detail to all the sub jects which had been adverted to. He fully recognised the importance of the question'as affecting the relations existing between the Hudson's Bay Companyin the territory between Upper Canada and British Columbia. He might have al leged that he was not prepared so soon after his acceptance of seals of the Colonial-office to answer the questions which had been put to him ; but having for many years turned his attention to the question, he was enabled at once, and decidedly, to reply to the noble earl; at least twelve years ago; as a private member of the House of Commons, he brought forward the subject of the Hudson's Bay Company. The noble earl, in the latter portion of his speech, had tra velled beyond the limits of what was called the licensed territory, and had encroached on that part of the territory of the Hudson's Bay Company where they had proprietary rights under the charter of Charles 11. As negotiations were pending with the Hudson's Bay Company on the subject of the charter, the noble earl would no doubt excuse him if he did not follow him into that part of the question, and con fined himself to the licensed territory between the Roc ky Mountains and - the ocean. - The noble earl asked ifh Hudson's Bay Come etwo years, expired in f g ar ues dir i e o r n ed p pan rop y red wh t i o ch ren h e a w vin th g e l l a i s cnse f o o f rt t y .h . from the noble earl, that he had been left open until now, Irejao cod las t t . and that the Hudson's Bay C o ha i t ie th s a o t mpany had not accepted the offer made to them by the S ecretary for the Colonies of an extension of the license for one or two years more. He rejoiced at it, both as re rd dth dso s B Company and in reference ga e e u n a question; for he believed to others interested H ' in th e that it etas better that theques tion should be settled now than that it should be suspended for t wo the noble earl COn years, and that for the reasons st a t e d b y fleeted with the discovery of gold in Bri tish Columbia,and the extension of colonisation. in that direction. R was not his e would state at once to the nobl e ear l t h at i t 8 intention to recommend her Majesty's Govern ment t o extend th e li cense o f t h e H udson ' s Bay Company for any period whatever. That license having expired in May last, all that remained was to make • • provision for the Government of the territory. The noble earl said that if that was the case, it was desirable that rdgulations should be established with reference to the trade carried on, and for securing the relative positions of the settlers and the natives. For thisspurpose legislation was necessary, but it need not be of a very complicated character. Powers might be taken to appoint magistrates who would be au thorised to settle disputes and to deal with crimes, and he proposed in a few days to introduce either into that house or the House of Commons, a measure for that purpose. It was not necessary that the magistrates should be sent out from England, but th ey m i g ht b e se l ec t e d f rom th e best qualified residents; and they might have summarYy!g all e given to deal with cases in v ol v i ng sma ll offences, b ut offences of a more aggravated d escr ipti on punisbili be ent would be referred to a higher tribunal ; and power i-oM.lied Columbia, given to remit such cases either to Canada or to Britis h a's to lay It would be necessary also to enable her I ndians, down rules for the regulation of trade with the in order to prevent the excesses which might be shown towards the cessation of the, from those people. This would ari se license of the Hudson's Bay Comp any, and the right of any private trader to go i n to the country without any of the restrictions hitherto imposed by the company. He believed • the tly answered questions of the noble that he had succm earl. The no ble earl had pressed on him one or two oth er points, and among them the encouragement of colonisakion in the northern portion of the Hudson's Bay ConipPiny's licensed territory, and also on this side of the Rocky Idioun tains. He did not think it desirable that ,the govermment and the Colonial-office should take steps to colbnisa '; their duty was rather to give every facility to, and to see that no impediments were placed in the way of, colonisation.. This led him to a further point raised by the noble earl, 'namely, the establishment of regular communication between Canada and Vancouver's Island. The noble earl said that plans with that object had been under the eontisAeration of I
