The Honorables HENRY CLAY aud DANIEL
WEBSTER are now ON their western tour. At the
last dates from st. Louis, they were expected there
in the course of few days, from whence it is ex-
pected they will embark on boat for the upper
country, and will probably pay our town a visit
III few weeks It is said they will, after
passing through Wisconsin and Illinois, return by
the way of the lakes.
CETSince the above was in type, we learn that,
in consequence of the call of special session Of
Congress, Mr.. Clay has declined accompanying
Mr.. Webster.

pidity this place has rose for few years. But

RAILRoADs-The enormous expanse
attending these undertakings in England,
where strength and durability are the
first objects of consideration. Is little
known except 10 persons who have di-
rect interest in them, or who have stu
died the subject for other reasons. We
Gle lew examples from the great Lon
don AMI Birmingham line, now in rapid
progress of completion; and we should
feel obliged TO any person who would
furnish us with corresponding details of
the cost In this country. We compile
the statement from the Railway Maya
zine.
The cost Of dwelling. eYcavating, fun
nel!ing filling up, &c. averages $50, coo
per mile one mile alone, between Prim-
rose-hil and Camden town, cost sg3O0, :.
o0O, In consequence of the eXtraordina-
ry difficulties which presented them
selves. The grand entrance, or portico,
at the back of Euston square, will not
be completed under .e3O 600 The ma
sorry at the mouth Of the tunnel, by
Primrose-hill will cost $1,000. 1t is
composed OF the finest Portland stone.
and, when completed, will have a very
handsome effect. The blocks Of granite
upon which the iron r..;Is rest for con-
siderable portion Of the line, are guinea
a pair. (On other parts the rails rest on
blocks of wood.) Laborer's wages a.
mount every week to about 5glO. 0GO.
The total amount of capital invested in
this speculation is estimated at g7OOO.-
600 and upward.
Two classes ofcarriages will run-the
speed Of the first class will average 80
miles per hour, and that of the second
class Is or 20. The fare for passengers
by the first class 20 and from Birmingham
will be about OBS or 2ls. each, aud by
the second third less. The first class
will perform the distance in 4 hours.
At Birmingham The road is connected
with the line recently opened TO Man
chester.-W hen the whole is completed,
passengers will reach Liverpool in eight
hours and half. On the trains arriving
within mile of London, the locomotive
engines are TO be taken off, and rope,
worked by stationary steam machinery
Is to be attached to the carriages, and
thus they will be wound up to the place
of their destination. The stations for
this purpose are now in a state of great
forwardness.-N. L. Com. ADD.

INTER ESTING NARRATIVE

The case Of the unhappy man, who
has been brought into the province from
MackeEzie's River. on charge of muir
der, has naturally excited good deal Of
interest and sympathy. The natural
feeling OF pity is in the present instance
heightened by the consideration, that the
prisoner. connected with an interesting
race, has been carried five thousand miles
from his home and Kindred, to be capi-
tally tried by strangers, and that too at
the instance OF an association so power
ful and wealthy as the Iludson's Bay
Company. An impression has gone a
bread that the lIadson's Bay Company
is, from interested motives, anxious to
this man, Cadien and to efface this i'm
preston it is only necessary to detail the
whole facts, of the tragedy. In doing
this, one canno! be charged with prejudg>
ing the case, for Cadien has himself plead
ed guilty to the fact OF the alleged mas
sacre. Cadien's plea, it is true, attempt
ed TO soften the massacre into excusa BILE
homicide, by averring that they acted on
the occasion in self defence but the fol-
lowing detail will show how widely his
views Of self defence, differ from those
Of the law. An acc urate statement, more
over, has been rendered necessary by the
garbled accounts OF various journals.
Baptiste Cadien is a metif, or hall
breed, about thirty years old His mo-
Their was of the Dog Rib tribe, and his
father Canadian voy ageur, known ma
ny years ago ON Mackenzie's river by
the soubriquet of Cadien Balai. Born
and nurturrd at Fort n Norman, a post Of
the Hudson's Bay Company OH Macken
zie's river. Baptiste Cadien was always
respected among the natives as white
mana circumstance which is necessary
to be remembered in the sequel. AZ the
date Of the massacre he held the situa-
ton OF interpreter at Fort Norman.
Some time previousto the alleged mur.
der, Cadcn had seduced the wife of one
Of the Hare Indians, &, carried her home
in triumph. To the credit Of the Com
pany be it told, he was subsequently
compelled TO restore her TO her husband
! by the commander Of Fort Norman
| The sequel will shew that the Compa-
# y's agent had the full merit of the resti-
tuition.
While yet burning with lust and re.
venge, BaPtiste Cadien, accompanied by
Creole, Lagraisse, and Bap!isie JourdaiD
metifs like himself was sent with dogs
and sleds for fish that had been taken in
the fall at a lake about six winters DAYS
journey from the establishment Of Fort
Norman. They were attended by two
Indians and boy-the boy belonged tc
the same baud of Hare Indians as Ca.
dieh's paramour aud her husband. The
hauling party most unfortunately
found this band Of Indians encamped a
bout the middle oftheir route. In anti
ciPation of such meeting, Cadien, dur.
ing the journey, bad frequently express

his paramour and 10 inflict vengeance o,
