From most valued correspondent, who has re-
peatedy made and our readers his debtor hereto
fore, we have received the following interesting
communication
RIO, 30th August, 1913
An English war steamer, the Cormoran, Commo-
dore Gordon, came IN few DAYS ago, having on

war, at the Cape Verbs Islands, where she put in Tor
refreshments, 3oth July, and may consequently be
looked for shortly. The squadron left Naples Both
June, and brings, besides the young Empress, a
younger brother Of Her Imperial Majesty, g the
Condo de Aqua," whom some OF our politicians

yanuara, the Emperor's elder sister. National
Guards of honor, on horse and foot, are forming
aud great Preparations making tor suitable receP

CANADIAN PARLlAMKNT-THE SEAT OF GOVERN
MENr QuEsrTON-In the two houses of the Provin-
cial Parliament of the Canadian colony, an angry
spirit appears to have taken possession Of the men,
bers. The Seat Of Government question is one
great bone of contention, although there are others
which will give much future trouble, and already
lis consequences are seen. We have previously
stated that the Executive Council of which the Hon.
Mr. Sullivan was chairman, had reported in favor
of Montreal, but the Legislative Council have
defeated him on question bearing on that subject,
leaving the government in minority five. The
debate CONSUMED two days-the 18th and 18th inst.
and was warm and frequently personal, and the
result was against the government. AS one con-
sequence OF the defeat, the Speaker has rendered
his resignation. The resolutions carried against
the government were in favor Of referring the
question to Her Majesty the Queen, that she might
exercise her prerogative without the intervention of
the Provincial Parliament; but it is minated that
| several members were absent, whose presence
would have given different result Meetings have
been held in Kingston, of the citizens OF that place.
and speeches delivered against the removal of the
government to Montreal, but we apprehend they
will be unavang
RAILROAD TO MoNTREAL.-It gives us pleasure to
state that every prospect exists for the establish
ment OF railroad between this country and Ca
NADIA.
We understand that the Fitchburg Railroad Com
pany have now engineers employed in surveying
the route from Fitchburg to Bratteboro', Vermont,
on the Connecticut River, and that they have a
bill before the Vermont Legislature Tor charter to
extend the road through that State to Montreal.
1t is to be hoped that this bill will pass and thus
give us a steam communication with the Canadas
The road will run from Boston to Brattleboro' al all
events, and, if continued into the neghboring pro-
vince, will be of incalcuable advantage to New
England. Over il will be carried the great English
mails, the produce OF the mills of all the towns
through which II runs, and the immense amount OF
agricultural articles raised in Massachusetts, Yer
mont, &c. every year. Over it will roll wealth in
| an amount not to be mentioned here.
We take no local view when railroads are built
| TO run into neighboring countries We take COM
Prchcnsive view and note down the advantages that
must result from them They not only give an i'm.
pulse to all kinds of trade, but they fasen the bonds
of friendship between the nations of the earth. In
this light, what be compared with the long lines
| OF iron rails laid throughout the world
AFFAIRS IN PoRTo Receive learn from st.
Johns, that nc change had been made in the admin
| israon of the government-the officers appointed
by Espartero still retaining their places. Porte Ri
CO will, however, like Cuba, be soon furnished with
| the new adherents
The new crop OF sugars on the south side of the
| island promised well, but on the north side it will
prove considerably short OF last years
The FIRE AT QUEBEc.-Loss estimated to be
$500, 900.
NAvAL.-The frigate Savannah, perfect beauty.
will sail Tomorrow or next day for the Pacific, to
touch at Rio de Janeiro.
PENNSYLVANIA NAvIGArIoN.-The repairs of the
| Chesapeake and Ohio canal will all be completed
so as to render the canal navigable, by the 20.h.
