" This brief sketch of Arctic discovery may serve to remind our readers of its progress to the present time, and prepare them for further discoveries, while it sufficiently illustrates our estimate of the national character that in about fifteen years the lee-bound coasts of a continent extending 110 degrees of longitude, i.e., as wide as Asia, and twice as wide as Europe, has been traced by land and sea, and its interior traversed in every direction. It cannot, however, be doubted that the same amount of energy and capital thus employed might have joined the Atlantic and Pacific by a path availab.'e for commercial purposes, united the west with the east, poured the wealth of the latter into the coffers of our merchants, and spread reli gion and civilization to the most remote corners of the globe." Extracts from THE SUN, 16th February. "According to the scheme disclosed in this remarkable pamphlet, mails, merchandize. and passengers might be perpetually conveyed to and fro between England and her colonial territories in the two hemispheres without having to traverse the roads of Continental Europe (which - roads might be rendered impassable at any moment by the outbreak of a general war), and without the necessity of having to double either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, where the seas are as tempestuous as the voyages are circuitous ; and the intercourse between Great Britain and her most distant and scattered possessions would not only be by this means less liable to interruption, but it would be infinitely more rapid, and, in every respect, more eerivenient. The proposed line of railway would link together the two oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic; it would stzetch in a direct line across our colonies in North America; it would commence at Halifax, in Nova Scotia. and would terminate at Frazer's River, pouring into the Gulf of Georgia ; it would com municate by steam-vessels with the ports of the United Kingdom in one direction, and in the other would promote a continual inter change of commodities aid:intelligence with:Pekin, with Canton, with Australia, with New aland, with the - Spice Islands, with Ceylon, with Madras, and with Calcutta. • " The North American Railway froth the Gulf of-tieorgia to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, running from Nova 'SbOtia by St. John's through New Brunswica, across the St. Lawrence and Otawa, tra versing Upper Canada along the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Su perior, through the dominions of the Hudson's Bay Company to - the south of Lake Winnipeg, over the chain of the Rocky Mountains to the coast of the Pacific confronting the rsiana pf Vancouver—this enormous line of railway would then be the first substantial em• ployment of that felicitous fact which has been intimated in the ex pression that the shores of the Pacific constitute the end of the West and the beginning of the East.' " It would form the great link required to unite in one powerful chain the whole English race.' It would penetrate the enormous bar rier of the Rocky Mountains. It would, in a particular manner, bind together the interests of England, of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, and the Canadas. It would present a magnificent field for the employment of gangs of convict labourers—criminals who by clear ing and enclosing lands, by constructing roads, and building bridges, would be withdrawn from the diabolical contaminations of the penal settlements, and would, unconsciously be instrumental in for warding the grand labours of civilization. • "It would pass through regions 'rich in mines of silver and copper,' such as the vicinity of Lake Superior. It would draw into use the abundant timber of the Oregon, the plentiful coal of Vancouver's Is land, the iron, lead, and tin, the granite, slate, and sandstone, the oolites, the cattle, wool, hides, and tallow, the salted meat, the beef, the pork, the wheat, the barley, the Indian corn, the apples, and the rest of the nutritious vegetation which now flourishes uncen sumed in the length and breadth of the North American Continent. " Such is the noble project of a Colonial railway suggested by this patriotic pamphleteer." Extract from THE SUN, 13th March. "On the 16th of February we directed public attention to a pamphlet, in the form of a letter, addressed to Judge Hallihurton, the immortal " Clockmaker"—a pamphlet in which a magnificent scheme is proposed for the connexion of the Pacific and the Atlantic by a railroad running through our North American possessions, through the Canadas, and through the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company, beginning at the harbour of Ha lifax, near Newfoundland. and terminating on Frazer's River, opposite Vancouver's Is'and. Since then, it will have been observed by our readers that the author of that remarkable pamphlet. Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, has addressed a letter to ourselves, in which he disclaims any of that dogmatic egotism which is generally supposed to actuate the projectors of such colossal enterprises. The pamphlet of Major • myth, protiously printed for private circulation, and written without any signature upon the title page, has, subsequently to the appearance of our re marks on the 16th uit., bean published in a complete and well digested form, accompanied by an illustrative mop from the hand of Mr. Wyld, the geographer. Now, that the plan may be regarded as fairly before the public, we cannot but take this, the earliest oppor tunity, of reiterating our previous argument, that the noble scheme suggested by Major Carmichael Smyth is one intimately associated with the present condition and the future destinies, with the glory, the greatness, and the prosperity of the British empire." Extract from the BRITISH and ARMY DISPATCH, 16th February, before the Pamphlet was Published for General Circulation. " This pamphlet is from the pen of an officer of rank, whose long residence on service in North America has enabled him to offer to the public some valuable suggestions on the subject of the extension of railway communication on that vast continent, in the further ex tremity of which new ground has lately been broken in the progress of civilization. The pamphlet purports to point out means for the employment of the people and capital of Great Britain in her own colonies, by undertaking a great' national work, and thus opening the shortest road to the most extensive regions of wealth ever before at the command of any nation in the werld (not regions of gold, but .for commerce and industry), and opening to Great Britain a new outlet for the superabundant population of her soil, and new markets for her labour. With great minuteness and considerable local knowledge the author traces the means by which the far apart Atlantic and Pacific Oceans shall be made easily communicable, and urges that on that part of the line where the district labour and ca pital is sufficient, it be underaken by the residents, and where population is too thin, the remedy can be supplied by English capital and convict labour. " The iamphlet is altogether well worthy of perusal by all who are interested in the progress of the great tide which is new so strongly setting westward." Extract from the BRIGHTON GAZETTE, Bth March. " One consequence of the recent discoveries in California has been the renewed and zealous diacuseion of various plans heretofore sug gested for opening a direct communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, instead of the present circuitous and hazardous route by Cape Ilona. A general feeling seems to have hitherto prevailed in preference of a water line by the river and Lake of San Juan de Nicaragua ; and certainly, as compared with the Isthmus of Darien or that of Telmantep c, there can be little doubt of its stiperior eli gibility. .But we think that the views developed in the able pamphlet of Major Carmichael Smyth will go far towards effecting a revolution in public opinion. For the United States the route above-mentioned may be a sufficiently desirable one ; but the author of this pamphlet contends—and therein he will have at least every Englishman on his side—that such a communication ought, if possible, to be made within the limits of our own territory. " In a question like this the advocates of colonization must feel a Strong interest; for 'let England her Northern American, colonies, and the Hudson's Say Company, join heart and hand, and with the great power of steam which it has pleased the Almighty the command of man, there will soon arise a work that w th ill pla b7th a e t wonder and admiration of the age—and such a mercantile and et -lonizing road will be open to Great Britain, that at no future period (at least within the imagination of man), will she ever again have to complain of too great a reputation on her soil, and too small a market for her labour." This Letter is addressed to the Cloekmaker,' and who will not echo the exclamation of that distinguished wrPer— ' ON squire, if John Bull only knew the value- of these-colonies, he would be a great man, I tell you—but heSlon't." Extract-from the RAILWAY TIMES, March 10. " There is work to be done—wealth to be opened up—men's bodies and souls to be saved—the press teems with suggestions, plain, ,practical, and - operative—yet not a ray of intelligence, of apprehen sion, not a sign, not a's expression indicative of activity, escapes from the chief of the Colonial-office, or his fussy, yet do-nothing, ' subordinates. " We shall revert to this topic in our next, and lay before our readers the able, invigorating arguments of Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, in reference to the subject of a British colonial railway cog.. munication between the Atlantic and Pacific.

Defries, gas engineei, delive r ed at t h eestern W Literary and Scientific Institution, on Mo nda y evenin g , alecture on the illumination by gas, the process of its generation, the cost of that generation, and how its mea iure is to be ascertained when registered by meter. The theatre was crowded, net only by the members of the institution, but also by those residing in the neigh bourhood,hew a reduction in the p r esent price of gas could who were evidently most anxious to learn be obtained. The lecturer, after a few preliminary re marks, from which it could be at once seen that he was of opinion that gas could not be generated. for less than its present price, went on to say that it was not his in tention to detain the audience by any lengthened ob servations of his, upon the various charges made by the „lifferent .gas tompaniek as- the subject was now under consideration in the House of Commons, where he 'trusted it would be dealt with in a straightforward manner. He would just say. as he hoped 'he Would h. ...bled to prove his etaterneilita that good goo esourrnrnot thp ar the present charge, 65., per 1,000, at a specific gravity of. works to houses and shops of the consume tor less a".. 400, for this reason, that the street lamps in the metro polis were supplied from 'the various gas companies at the price of 3s. 10d. per thousand; 'thus making the charge upon an average, on the general consumers of 43. 3d.' per 1,000. From the official reports, of the various companies; it' would appear that the Charter last year paid a dividend of '6 per cent.; the IMperial the same amount; and the City 10 per„,cent.; the Phoenix 5 per cent., and the Equitable for some time 4i per cent., but once or twice they paid no dividend at all. He was of opinion that the dividend ought not to be under 10 per cent., but that that amount must be allowed on all hands to be a very fair interest for the capital invested. He was, present at a meeting lately held in Lambeth, where it was asserted that the gas could be supplied at the charge of 4s. 6d.'per 1,000; but this he was not prepared to believe, although ii might be said the Croydon Works were sending out their gas at that price. So they were, but then their works were on a much mailer scale, and consequently, there was much less leakage, while the coals and the labour were much cheaper. -He would just mention, in conclusion, before proceeding with the expe riments which he meant to-make;-that the price has been much lowered witbin the last few years, for in 1843, it was Bs. per 1,000; in 1844, 7s per 1,000; and in 1848, Os. per . 1,000; as low a price as could be charged for it. As a great deal had been said about th e meas urement of gas, he would just allude to it. Ev er y man ca n be his own measurer, for nothing is easier than to ascertain the number of feet consumed than by weight, as 6211 b. of running water go to a pound. The lecturer then pro ceded, by a model to prove his position. This model is easily understood when seen, bu t cannot b e sat i s f ac torily explained. He then went on to exhibit by experiments, the whole process of gas generation, which were, after some little difficulty, on account of the imperfections of the models, completely successful, the gas' made being of the most brilliant kind we have ever witnessed, and more especially when emitted through Leslie's patent burner. A variety of other interesting experiments having be en performed illustrative of the best m eans o f purifying the gas, &c., the meeting separated, th e p ersons present being, uo doubt, entertained; . but, in our opinion, somewhat disappointed, as they evidently att en d e d the lecture with the expectation. of hearing how th e pr i ce of gas could with ease be reduced. ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—Yesterday, the quarterly general court of the guardians of this corpora tion was held in the hall of the Sew tish Hospital, Crane. court, Fleet-street, Lord James St uar t in the chair, on eeneral busint ss. From the minut es o f the several pre vious courts (which were confirmed), it appeared that the late secretary, Mr. Birney, remained still indebted to the corporation in the sum of 120/., which it was alleged he had embezzled, and the board of directors had left it to the present meeting to determine upon the c.iurse to be pursued under these circumstances—whether it would be advisable to institute proceedings in a criminal court, to proceed by common law for the recovery of the amount, or to abandon the matter in Coto. A very animated dis cussion ensued, in which 1)r. Cumming, Dr. Stuart, Mr. Lindsey, and Mr. Hamilton took part; and ultimately the meeting refused to act, leaving the directory to take the course that they might deem most prudent. In reply to a question from Mr' Hamilton, Mr. Lindsey, as one of the auditors, said the expenditure for the year 1848 amounted to 3,6421., including 3001. laid out on the premises. The total income was only 1,636/., arising out of dividends on stock 6281., annual subscrip tions 3311 -, donations 4461., and the result of the Cale donian ball 232/. This deficiency of upwards of 2,0001. had been met by the sale of 2,250/. Three per Cents. Their stock amounted to 15,770 L Three per Cents. Se veral guardians expressed their regret at the rat id man ner in which the institution was retrograding. Dr. Cumming accounted for the lamentable state of their finances by their lately admitting fifty girls into the asylum, at an annual coat of about 1,30 0 /.7-(llear.) H o was aware that the accession in the number of their inmates arose from the acceptance of a legacy of 1,000/, with which this condition was annexed. After some further conversation, the usual election of directors, in the room of those retiring, took place, and the Co ur t adjourned. LUCILLE BELMONT, A NOVEL. SECOND EDITION REVISED.—We were among the first, if not the first, of public journalists to direct attention to this admirable romance; and we rejoice to see the good opinion we expressed upon its merits confirmed by the general voice. A second edition has been callcd for, and the writer has added a modest, though manly, preface, con taining his own exposition of the design of his work, which is the best vindication of his motives. Amongst many other persons, we have heard Viis wo r k attr ib uted to Mr. Baillie Cochraue, M.P. Our astonishment is that the author of so successful a novel has not distinctly avowed himsolf.—Morning Post.

GOVERNMENT AID TO IRISH RAILIN AC'S. A numerouily attended meeting of Members of Par liament, for the most part connected with Ireland, was held on Monday in one of the Committee Rooms in the House of Commons, to bear a communication from Lord John Russell on the subject of loans of public money to Irish railways, and to consider the best means of Urging o❑ the Government the advisability of misting in. the completion of those national works is Ireland. Sir L. O'BRIEN, Bart., occupied the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by Stating that he had received (in his capacity of chairman of a deputation which bad lately wa:ted upon the Government) nnother letter from John Russell on the subject of the intentions of the Go vernment with respect to loans to Irish railway , companies. The letter of the Noble Lord was, in sub starer, that the Cabinet were of opinion that loans of public money ‘N ould be more beneficially employed in the improvement of land or in the encouragement of arterial drainage hen in assisting in the completion of railways. Her Majesty's Goiernment did not under value themcessityoi making through railway communi cation in Ireland, neither did they wish the deputation to consider this letter I,'s a final decision, because they intended to consult the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who would be in town in a few days. Having conferred with the Noble Earl, his Lordship would again communicate with the deputation. Mr. REYNOLDS expressed his regret that the Govern ment had not taken another view of this important sub ject, for it struck him that giving precedence to drainage and the improvements of the land was very like putting the cart before the horse, as it w ould be impossible to make the land valuable in remote districts without the assistance of a railway. The oreat value of land consisted in its being so situated that the produce might be brought to market at s cheap and rapid rate. He regretted the more the decision of the Government, because he believed that the railway companies who were in a position to borivw money on , the security of their works were able t o ra ise the sums required, in the course of one w ee k 200 000 a poor would be relieved from being a burden on Ole rates.

BoYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH, MARcti 20.—:gx periments were carried on yesterday and to-day at the Butt, in the Royal Arsenal, to test the merits of a mus ket ball submitted to the Select Cornmitee by Mr. Mine singer, an American. The ball is cast . with a four grooved tail attached to it, in length about throe-fourths the diameter of the spherical portion, the tail resembling the first screw-propeller introduced, with four leaves; but with a slight obliquity, instead of the archimedian screw form. Mr. Minesinger fired his balls, 23 to the pound weight, from a long barr 211 ed run, the h ngth being five feet seven inches, and Colonel Dundas, C. 8., from a common musket, the barrel of which was three feet three inches long, both guns having percussion locks. The firing commenced at 100 pards, but after a few rounds by each the distance was extended to 200 yards, when excellent practice was made, the target being struck every time, with two or three exceptions. The appendage to the ball gives its similar advantages to the balls projected from rifles, and considerably increase the range; and should it en further trial be approved of, every common musket by its adoption would possess the projective power and excellent direction at present only obtained by any degree of certainty by grooved rifles. It is intended to have a number of 3 9 -pounder solid shot and shells cast on the same principle, for trial In the marshes.
