MONEY MARKET.

Every arrival from Canada and the ether North
American colonies affords additional pled of the
serious determinati?n of the poop!' and authorities of

those provinces to do their amOst to attain that im-
portant object—a complete system of inter•colonial
communication. In Canada, bears the two lines of
railway already completed, that from Montreal to
Portland is in rapid course of construction ; the for-
mation of the Great Western, it is expected,
will shortly receive an additional impetus,
and everything affords grounds fur belief gist
the Melbourne and Quebec line, which will
connect the whole, will be speedily egeb,
lumped. A resolution has been introduced into tie
Nova Scotia Assemble, by Mr. Howe, asking par-
mission to hone debentures, payable in 20 years, at a
fair interest, for the purpose of aiding in the metres-

counts the committee of the whole house was discus.
sing a bill for guaranteeing the last-named company
scrip to the amount of 30,000 L, payable when 30
miles of the road are oompletel, and little doubt was
entertained that the bill would pass. Confident hopes
were expressed that a few years more will witness a
regular system of railway communication betwesa
the principal cities of Canada, besides other lines is
operation connecting Canada with New Brunswick,
and New Brunswick with Nova Scotia.

An order in council had been issued at Montreal,
having reference to the obtaining of correct statistical
information with regard to the description, quantity,
quality, and value of goods exported from the pro-
vince, in which it is directed that previous to any
vowel departing from a port in Canada, bound to any
port without the limits of the province, it shall be
necessary for the captain to lodge a report outward,
in which he shall state fully the numbers, marks of
the packages, and the description of the several articles
contaituting his cargo, together with the names of the
shippers and consignees. Captains of vessels bound
to British or foreign ports will be required to state
in their manifest if they intend to break bulk or re-
cativo loading at any other port within the province,
and to declare what part of their cargo they intend to
land at such port. Thew return, are to be furnished
