ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE S LLIV•
Sta,—After reading the splendid and noble speech
of Sir Robert Peel, on the rate in aid question, it
appeared to me that the Right Hon. Baronet had
taken up a position of which every lover of his coun
try would feel proud, and around which all parties
would eventually rally.
You have shown, Sir, by your comments on that
speech, how clearly you perceive the brilliant light
about at length to dispel the gloomy mist that has
for too long a time been hanging over the destiny of
this powerful empire.
A mighty change is evidently about to take place
in the mode of conducting the affairs of this great
nation, and we shall presently act as boldly
in peace
as we did in war.
The carrying into effect Sir Robert Peel's gigantic
schemes, with his plans for healthy emigration, will
naturally entail the construction of immense colonial
self-sustaining works, for these alone can offend the
means so generally required, of giving immediate
employment to the emigrant.
It was, therefore, with much satisfaction I noticed
your observations, consequent on the publicatioa of
the Memorandum so lately favourably received by the
Governer of the Hudson's Bay Company.
In his hands I feel confident that document will
not be allowed to remain idle, but the subject will
soon, if it has not been so already, be brought under
the notice of the Colonial Minister, and thus our
princely merchants may, perhaps,
authority, that England has now, inlearn from high
her own quiet
possession most valuable territory, through which can
be constructed (and under Providence, in an in-
credible short space of time) as good, as practicable,
and as short a line of communication between the At-
lantic and the Pacific oceans as any that has ever yet
been proposed, not only for England, her colonies, and
the north of Europe, but also for many parts of the.
United States.
It is well worthy of remark, and ought not to be
forgotten, that when Sir George Simpson left Eng-
land on his journey round the world he was accom-
panied by "a gentleman in the service of the Russian-
American Company," on his route from Petersburgh to
Silks, which his superiors were preferring for him,
as shorterby thirty degrees of longitude, the breadth of
all the rest of the world, to that of his native empire—
evidence, I think, conclusive of the shortness of the
route to the Pacific (and, as a matter of course, to the
Sandwich Islands, the metropolis of that ocean) for
any traveller from the ports of the Baltic.
If I am wrong as regards my remark about the
United States, some one may perhaps be kind enough
to point out any route that would be shorter or better
for a native of Portland, in New Hampshire, to travel
to reach the Pacific, than by Montreal, the Red River
settlement, and over the Rocky Mountains to Fraser's
River.
No, Sir, depend upon it that not only for the
British empire, but for many other par-
ties, the route for which we are now
using our best endeavours, will prove to be the most
practicable, the most available, and the shortest. To
Great Britain invaluable, as giving immediate and
remunerative employment to her people, and afford-
ing the required outlet to " our superabundance of
capital—our plethora of talent." But your kind in-
dulgence must not make me forget the value of your
time and of your columns. I shall therefore conclude
with assuring you of the esteem and gratitude of
Your most obedient servant,
ROBERT CARMICHAEL SMYTH.

SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN.

The disastrous event at Eckenforde has called forth
the most enthusiastic demonstrations of joy, and it is
generally anticipated here that this event will occa-
sion important results, and that even if the Danes
exert extraordinary energy on land, a favourable peace
must be almost immediately concluded, in which the
Duchies will now also have a vote.

We learn, by telegraphic dispatch, that Commo-
dore Parry, of the United States Marines, has
accepted the post declined by Commodore Parker,
of Commander of the German Navy.
A number of American naval officers are ready to
enter the German service.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a heavy market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and
.prices were in favour of buyers. The
sales were estima*ed at 4,500 bales, including 3,000
American at 30. to 60., 100 Pernams and Marauham
at &id. to 50., 30 Bahia at 50., 100 Egyptian at 6d. to
qd., and 500 Surat: at 3d. to 30.—Railway Shares
were in better demand at firmer quotations.
The official corn returns give last week's sales if
wheat at 76.172 qrs., and of barley at 39,669 qrs. The
six weeks' average is now under 455.
The German, Belgian, and other advices have come
duly to hand. At Vienna, on the sth inst., the metallics
had risen to 86i. In the Amsterdam market, on Tues-
day, there was no particular alteration as regarded
Dutch stocks. Spanish Bonds were firm. All other
securities were rather flatter, except Mexican and
French, in the former of which a fair business was doing.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. wore 49 9-16ths.
The Frankfort accounts furnish some interesting parti-
culars of the alleged conduct of Denmark in connexion
with the renewal of hostilities. Baron Von Gagern affirms
that the intentions of the Central Government were per-
fectly conciliatory, and that it was only when the medi-
ating power, meaning England, had declared its ina-
bility to guarantee that the war would not recommence
on the 3d inst., that the German troops were ordered to
move forward. Even then, as the Baron affirms, the
Danish Government intimated that it did not
necessarily consider the expiration of the armis-
tice a signal for the recommencement of offen-
sive operations, and;accordingly the PrussianCommander-
in Chief, Lieutenant-General Von Prittwitz, received in-
structions to act strictly on the defensive. This cer-
tainly reads fairly enough, if we did not know that the
mere entry of German troops into the Duchies might be
considered an act of aggression, or at any rate of a very
threatening character, seeing the number of troops sent.
Indeed we cannot disguise the fact that in City circles
'he feeling is one of sympathy for Denmark, however
much it is regretted that an amicable arrangement could
not be brought about. As to our Baltic trade, it
suffers grievously, and no merchant can make up his
mind how to act. Doubtless much consideration will be
evinced by the Danish cruisers towards British ships,
but the latter will have to respect the blockade wherever

it appears to be effectually carried out. Some parties
deny in Coto that Denmark has a sufficient fleet to close
all the ports comprehended in its official notice; but if
not, we shall soon hear of our merchantmen running in
or out. It has been reported this morning that the
Germans by means of gun-boats have captured, off
Swinemund, another Danish vessel, but we have no con-
firmation of this.
There is later intelligence from Lisbon. The Finance
Minister had reduced the revenue estimate to 9,748
contos, and the charges to 11,757 cantos, proposing to
raise the deficit by financial reforms and the unpaid
revenues due in June, 1847. There is stated to be every
prospect of the next August dividend being met.
There has been a meeting in the " foreign house"
of members of the Stock Exchange interested
in Mexican Bonds, Mr. Capel having convened it, be-
cause of an opinion received from his solicitors to the
.fft.ct that the form of receipt offered by Messrs.
Schneider to those who take the 11. 17s. 6d. is objec-

tionable, and exposes the parties to the risk of having
to refund the same in caso of any difficulty occurring
between the agent and the Government which it repre-
sents. A committee of five persons has bean appointed
to confer with Messrs. Schneider upon the subject.
Business in the Stock Market has been very restricted,
if we except some money dealings in New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., which have ranged from 9lf to 914.
Consols have ranged from 92 to 921, and are now 92i
for Transfer, and 921 for Account. This is " pay-
day," and we hear of no particular difficulty in meeting
engagements.. Exchequer-bills are 455. to 48e. pre-
mium, being about ls. lower. Bank Stock has realised
1931, and India Stock 243.
The Foreign Securities have been steady, but there is
not much doing. Mexican are affected by the circum-
stance mentioned above in connexion with the meeting,
and have oscillated from 291 to 30i. Equador are 3 1.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been 174 to I, and are in
favour. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 49i to 50.
The South-Eastern Railway meeting has been ad-
journed, the report of the committee of inquiry not being
yet ready.
The Railway Share Market is very quiet, at about
previous rates.
