RAILWAY IN CANADA.—It affords us much gratifi•
cation to find that the attention of English capitalists
has at length been directed to the developing some of the
numerous resources of our widely extending Canadian
colonies, and that a Company of influential individuals is
now forming for the purpose of joining lakes Huron and
Ontario, by means of a railway, which will traverse some
of the most fertile portions of our western Canadian pos-
sessions. One of the most novel, and at the same time
important features of this national undertaking appears
to be the constructing this railroad solely of wood, pre-
pared by a process rendering it almost as durable as iron,
so that the very arboreous obstacles which at present
exist in these provinces, to so great an extent as to render
the intercourse between man and man most difficult, are
made subservient to the means of an easy and rapid
intercommunication. Speculation in vain attempts to
define a limit as to the extent this unbounded material
(in Canada) may be applied for similar purposes, atd
that some of our Canadian possessions, existing at the
present moment only in the shape of one vast forest, may,
at no distant period, be as completely intersected with
railroads as the mother country. We have only to add
that the undertaking has our best wishes for its success.
On Tuesday a deputation of the Directors of the

Deputy Chairman, Colonel Stopford, Colonel Fitch, and
the Secretary, waited upon his Excellency the Spanish
Ambassador, to convey through him to the Spanish
Government the thanks of the Company for remitting
the entire heavy import duties upon the machinery re-
quired: for the Company's iron works in the Asturias ;
and also for the other facilities which the Government
had offered to the Company in carrying on its opera-
tions. His Excellency received the deputation with the
utmost courtesy, and promised to make known without
delay the statements of the Company, which he had no
doubt would be highly satisfactory to the Spanish Go-
verment.
