" The pamphlet is altogether well worthy of perusal by all who
are interested in the progress of the great tide which is now so
strongly snak'", `westward.'"
Extract from the ARIGIITON GAZETTE, Bth March.

One consennen-e of the recent discoverks in California has been

the renewed and zealous discussion of various plan.; heretofore sug-
gested for opening a direct communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, instead of the present circuitous and hazardous route
by Caps Horu. 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 Telmantery c, there can be little doubt of its superior 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 ono ; 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.
•

:it a question like this the ailvoeates of Colonization must feel a

strong interest ; for 'let England her Northern American, colonies,
and the liudron's Bay Oompany,join heart and hand, and with the
great power of steam which it has pleascid 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 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 • Clockmaker,' and
who will not echo the exclamation of that distinguished writer—
' Oh, squire, if John Bull only knew the value of these colonies, he
would be a great man, I tell you—but he don't.'"
Extract from the RAILWAY TIMES, March 10.

Th6re 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 an expression Indicative of activity, escapes
from the chief of the Colonial-office, or his fussy, yet do-nothing,
subordinates.
" IVe 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 cora-
munication between the Atlantic and Pacific.

ciently striking ; and there are many passages of great power and
pathos."—Atias.
" Exceedingly interesting. Tile reader is entertained with a rela-
tion of the incidents of real life."—Morning Herald.
"An amusing book : the manners of the colonists are vividly
sketched, and the exciting scenes of the bush made more exciting."—
Economist.
Interspersed with the story are many sketches of a settler's life,
and the almost romantic incidents that frequently occur on the out-
skirts of the colony."—Spectator.
