adopted by the Canadian Land and Railway Asso-
ciation, published during the course of the present
year, is embellished, not only with an sdnairable map
of the line intended to be drawn across the British
provinces in North America, but with a sketch of a
portion of the proposed railroad, representing a
model town and the adjacent group of allotments.
Than this nothing, we are bold to say, could be more
really practicable, or calculated altogether to be
more enormously profitable to the colonists, however
much the undertaking may appear like a daydream to
the judgment of those who are timorous and desponding.
Without possessing the slightest particle of interest
in the scheme as a mere commercial speculation,
without knowing personally or otherwise ono single
individual in any manner solicitous as to its pros-
perity, we are induced to speak thus emphatically of
an association such as the one here particularized—
an association according admirably with ideas long
cherished by ourselves, and directed simultaneously,
to the advancement of British commerce and of ge-
neral civilization. Perseverance and time are, of
course, the first requisites in the way of forwarding a
scheme so large and comprehensive ; but with these we
doubt not but that capital may be ultimately accemu.
lated, and with capital will arise a confidence in the
merits of the undertaking. Whenever these happy
results are achieved a great step will have been taken
towards the completion of a design whereby the earth
will be rendered more directly subservient tD the
wants of humanity.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The parti-pretre journals are highly indignant at
the presumption of their contemporaries in daring to
publish the details of the trial of the Priest G0T11...
LAND, and one of them has ventured to apostrophize the
Bourgeois readers and conductors of the Journal des
Debuts in the following terms :—" Bourgeois, will
you be pleased to go back again to your shops
and to 3our desks ? Will you content your-
selves with singing, not too loudly, your old
songs of BERANGER, unless you find more
amusement in chattering about the Monarchy
or the Republic ? Will you leave the priests in
qeiet, even the priest GOTIILAND, who is a
worthier man than any Y. you (qui vaut rr.ieux
quo votes). Now, considering ghat this worthy
priest stands convicted of murder aed adultery, we
hope the Bourgeoisie will appreciate the estimation
in which they are held by the priesthood, end when
next called on to organize an expedition to Rome will
act accordingly.
The Univers utters what the National calls a loud
cry of hatred on the occasion, and the Pouvoir, as a
to gunny argument, publishes a list of laymen who
have committed murders.
The Prefect of the Beuches-de-Rhone informed the
Municipal Council of Marseilles, by letter, i,i its sitting
of the sth, that the new Intendance Sanitaire is to be
composed of nine members, taken from and designated
by the different elective bodies of the town ; thl:t a coin-
misnioner risimtd by the Government is to h. joined to
them, and ie to exercise the Executive Gote,roment ;
and that the Prefect is to preside. "'This retelution,"
says the Semaphore of Marseilles, "is tef a oeture to
satisfy all interests, and to put an end to the just
alarms which the dangerous projects ate:Jibed to the
Government had caused."
The corvette the Bayonnaise, which for some time
was in the Chinese seas, arrived et Cherbourg on
the 6th. At Tahiti it took on board M. JAS QUES
ARAGO, the blind traveller and author, who last
year went out to California at the head of a band of
gold diggers.
The Minister of Public Works yesterdey attended
the Committee on the Budget, and gave eeplanations
relative to the Paris and Lyons and Avigeen Rail-
reads, which, it is said, were of a nature to promote
the progress of this important question.
The text of the new postal arrangement between
France and Sardinia was yesterday distributed to the
Members of the National Assembly. The convention
enacts that the postage of a single letter between the
two countries shall be fixed at 50 centimes, and to and
from Algeria to the postal establishments of the Me-
diterranean at 20c. additional. Pre-payment i 3 to be
optional.
The Bill presented a few days hack by M.
BINEAU, the Minister of Public Works, for the
concession of the Western Railway (from Versailles
to Rennes), was distributed to-day to the represen-
tatives. it declares that the Minister is antlio-
rizA to concede direct to Messrs. PETO, BI:TTS,
BRASSEY, Fox, GEACII, HENDERSON, and STORES,
the said line, the Versailles (left bank) Railway
being at the same time placed under the direc-
tion of the Company in question, in virtue of a treaty
agreed to between the latter and the said Ver-
sailles Railway Company. The other railway to
Versailles is to he allowed to place itself in connexion
with the Western line, the Government granting
it a concession of 550,000 f. to defray the expense of
such junction. A sum of 19,000,000 f. is to be ac-
corded to the Government for the purchase of land
and f)r the execution of the works of art, &c,
for the branch line between Chartres and Alen-
con. The company to which the Western Rail-
way is conceded is to finish it within three years
from the date of the concession. The works
already executed by the state on the Western lino
as far as Chartres are to be given up to the company.
The company is to lay down the iron way on the
remainder of the distance to Rennes, to build the
etations, and to furnish the rolling and stationary
stock of every description. A double line of rails is
required as far as La Loupe ; but a single one is per-
mitted from that place to Rennes, to be made double,
however, when the gross receipts on that section
amount to 18,000 f. the kilmometre. The company is
to finish the works 'between Chartres and La Loupe
in one year. The lease to the company is to be for
99 years.
The ilfiniteur announces that the PRESIDENT of the

measures to be taken in common.

" Art. 3. But as it is for the general interest that in
Hesse as well as Holstein law and order shall be re-
established, conformably with the principles of this Con-
federation, and to render the fulfilment of federal duties
possible, Austria, in her own name, and in that of
the states in alliance with her, has given to Prussia, for
the securing of her interests to the full extent, the gua-
rantees required by her as to the occupation of the Elec-

" a. In Electoral Hesse Prussia will oppose no obstacle
to the action of the troops called into Hesse by the

to the commanding generals there to allow the passage

vernments of Austria and Prussia will, in agreement
with their allies, require his Royal Highness the Elector
to concede that a battalion of the troops required by the
Electoral Government and a Prussian battalion shall re-
main in Cassel to preserve peace and order.
"6. Austria and Prussia, in agreement with their
allies, and as speedily as possible, shall send commis-
sioners in common to Holstein, who shall desire,
