Concluding paragraphs frem the article in the HISTORIC TIMES
of the 23d of February, on the Missing Arctic Expedithm.
"This brief sketch of Arctic disc 'very may servo to remind our
readers of its progrees 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 ice-bound
coaste 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 'Metier traversed in every direction. It canna',
however, be dcubicd that the same a:72,unl of energy tend copi'al thus
employed might hare joined the Alantic a.tid Parific by a path arailab.'e
for commercial pm poses, united the west with the east, poured the
scent h of the later into the c greys of our merchants, and spread reli-
gion and civilization to the mos' remote corners of the globe."
Extracts from THE sITN, 10th February.
" According to the scheme disclosed in this remarkable pamphlet,
mails, merchandise. 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 miekt he rendered impassable at any moment
by the outbreak of a gcnetal wee), and without the ne,essity of
having to ' double -either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape .[torn,
where the seas are as tempestuous as the voyages are circuitous;
and the intercourse between Great Britain and her most distant
and scattered pewee-ions waell not only be by this means less liable.
to interruption, but it would he infinitely more rapid, and, in every
respect, more convenient. The proposed line of ralway would link
together the two oceans, the Pacific end the Atlantic; it would
stretch in a direct line across our colonies in North America ; it
would commence at Halifax, in Nova Scoti t. 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 tie the other would promote a continual inter-
• change of commodities and inteligence with Pekin, with Canton,
with Australia, with New Zealand, with the Spice Islands, with
Ceylon, with Madras, and with Calcutta.
" The Ner.ll American Railway from the Gulf of Georgia to the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, twining from Nova Scotia by St. John's
through New Brtnimic', across the St. Lawrence and Otawa, tra-
versing Upper Canada shrug the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Su-
perior, thrcueh 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 Island pf Vancouver—iris
enormous .line of railway would then he the first substantial ein-
ployment of that telicitous feat which has been intimated in the est-
pression that the shores ache 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 Ray Com-
pany, and the Canadas. It would present a magnificent field for the
emeloyurtent 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 la for-
warding the grand labours of civdization.
" It would pass through regions 'rich in mince efsllrcr and copper,'
such as the vicinity of Lake Superior. It would draw into uss the
abundant timber of the Oreeon, tie plentiful coal of Vancouver's Is-
land, the iron, lead, and tin, the granite, slate, and sandstone, the
oolites, the cattle, woo', hides, and tallow, the salted meat, the beef,
the pork, the wheat, the barley, the Indian corn, the apples, and
the rest of the natritioni vegetation which nosy flourishes
uncon-
eumed in the length and breadth of the North American Continent.
" Such is the noble project of a Co7onial railway suggested by
this patriotic pamphleteer."
Extract from THE SUN, 13:h March.
"On the 10th of February we directed public attention to a
pamphlet, in the form of a letter, addressed to Judge Halliburtoe,
the imtnortal " 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 terrhories of time
Hudson's Bay Company, begineing 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
oeserved by our readers that tl:e 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, previously
printed fo—erlvate circulation, end written without any eigeature
upon the title page, has, subsequently to time appearance of our re-
marks on the 16111 ult., bean published in a complete and well-
digested form, accompanied by an illustrative map from the hand of
Mr. Wyll, the geographer. Now, that the plan arty be regarded as
fairly before tie mastic, 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, IGth February,
before the Pamphlet was Published for General Circulation.
" This pamphlet is from the pen of tin officer of rank, whose lon
residence on service in North America has enabled !inn to offer to
the public some valuable suggestions on the subject of time 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 poMt 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 world (not regions of
gold, but for commerce and industry), and opening to Great Britain
a new cutlet for time 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 shall be undenaken by the residents, and where
population is too thin, the remedy can be supplied by English capital
and convict labour.
" The pamphlet• is altogether well worthy of perusal by all who
are interested in time progress of the great thie.which is new so
strongly setting westward.'"
Extract from the BRIGHTON' GAZETTE, Bth March.
" One consequen-e of the recent discoveries in California has been
the renewed and zealous discussion of various plane heretofore sug-
gested for opening a direct communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, instead of the present circuitous and hazardous route
by Caps Horn. A general. feeling seems to hove hitherto prevailed
in preference of a water line by theeriyer 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 superior eli-
gibility. But •we think that the views dereloped in the able pamphlet of
Aftsjor'Carmichael Smyth will go far towards effecting a revolution in
publi6 opinion. Feit tem United States the route above-mentioned
may be a sufficiently desirable one ; but the ',tither 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
the limits of our own territory.
"ln a question like this the advocates of Colonization must feel a
strong interest; for 'let England her Northern America!), colonies,
and the Andrew's Bay Company,join heart and hand, and with the
great power of steam which it has pleased the Almighty to place at
the command of man, there will soon arise a work that will be the
wonder and admiration of the age—and such a mercantile and ce-
lonizing road will be open to Great jiritain, thatat no future period
(at least within the imagination of man), will she ever main 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 Clockmaker,' and
who will not echo Um, exclamation of that distinguished writer—
' Oh, squire, if John BUR only knew the value of these colonies, he
would be a great men, I tell you—but lie don't.'"
Extract from time RAILWAY TIMES, March 10.
" There is work to be done—wealth to be opened up—men's bodies
and souls to he 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 cur next, and lay before our
readers the able, inyigorating arguments of Major Robert Carmichael
Smyth, in reference to the subject of a British colonial railway come
munication between the Atlantic and Pacific.

were several buyers from the interior. There was no change
in the vplue of any other other article, excepting Indian corn,
which was in some instances 6d per quarter dzarer, and the
Irish demand is unabated. There is little business going for •
ward to day in Indian corn and flour at yesterday's prices. No
change in the value• of other articles of the trade.

MANCHESTER, .MAY s.—We have again to, report a very
languid demand. for flour throughout the week, and in the li•tle
business transacted the previous currency has been with dila -
culty obtained. Oatmeal of choice
ualit having continued
scarce, was saleable at a further improvement in prices. Con-
trary winds have generally prevailed during the week, to which
cause probably the scanty arrivals of produce at Liverpool and
Runcorn may in some measure be attributed,•the only import-
of moment being about 7,000 barrels of flew' and 13,000
quarters of Indian torn from the United States. At our
market this morning bosh wheat and flour were in limited
request, and might have been purchased on somewhat lower
terms. In the value of oats no change was apparent, but on
prime cuts of oatmeal we raise our quotations 6d per.load.
BRISTOr. SUGAR MARKET, MAY 4. —The only feeure
worth notice in the West India market this week has been, that
the first cargo of Barbadoes for the • season has been brought
forward, and about 3)0 hogsheads have-been sold at very firm
rates. Four or five thousand mats or Alauritius have been sold
at full prices. Rums are quiet. The arrivals during the week
have been, in the Harebell, from Mauritius. 4 852 mats of
sugar, 10 puncheons of rum ; in the Maria, from Barbadoes,
557 hogsheads, 38 tierces, and 42 barrels of sugar; in the
Sybilla, from Mauritius, 200 casks, 4,%62 bags, 50 puncheons
of rum, and 3,546 mats of sugar.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MAY 3.—At our market to-
day the numbers were —cattle, 633; sheep, 669 ; lambs, 40.
We had a large show of very superior cattle, which met a dull
sale at a decline of 6d on the top, and even at that fall the mar-
ket continued quite inactive, and a great number of beitits
turned out unsold. Best ox be f, 4.55 per cwt ; Second, 40i to
42s per do ; cows, bulls, and inferior animals, from 353 to 40a
per do, sinking the offal. We had considerably fewer sheep
this morning. Sales were brisker and easier disposed of, at an
advance of id per ib. All sold. Best aged wethera fully 6d
per lb. ; second, 53 to sid per ditto, sinking the offal. There
was a good supply of lambs for the season, which sold according
to queity at from ICs to 21s each.

CORK, MAY 4.—The arrivals of foreign grain continue very
moderate, and the supplies of that of home growth very trifling.
The stocks of Indian corn in this port are rapidly resisting krcv.
This week a large hasiness has beerisileise- in the article, so that
with the consumpticrs that is going on and the fact (as we be-
lieve it, having the information from good authority) that the
supplies coming forward will fall far short of what was gene-
rally expected, we look for a further advance in the value of
this grain. With reference to the future supply of wheat from
abroad, as much will depend upon the continuance or non-con-
tinuance of the Danish blockade, we cannot, of course, speak
with any certainty ; but we incline to the opinion that, with a
long continuance of hostilities in that quarter, we shall have
wheat scarce and dearer. The prices of grain at our market
have undergone little alteration, but barley and oat sowing
being nearly brought to a close the value of those articles, for
seed purposes, tend downward. In prepared wheat we have
little doing.-- •In foreign also, until yesterday, when some dis-
position to make purchases was
manifested, but a trifling
amount of business was transacted. We quote the value of
both articles-Gd to is lower than the rates of last week. Inferior
wheat is inquired for, but is scarce. The stocks of prepared
oats in store here are reduced to a narrow compass. Holders
evinced much firmness, and there is little disposition to sell ex-
cept at higher rates. An offer of 103 9d fur a parcel of blacks
having been refused, we may quote the value of the article Its
L u.b. - In flour the business doing has been quite in retail, and
the advance established some days since has not been sup-
ported. Bakers are engaged in working off late purchases, and
until they are again in the market as purchasers we cannot ex-
pect any decided improvement. In Indian corn, as we have
previously remarked, a large trade has been done,
and we may quote the article a free sale at 2s 6d
to 5s per ton advance, the current prices being Si 7s 61 to
Si 12s 6d, the latter figure however being scarcely obtainable.
