CANADA-The principal topic in the Canada pa
pers at present, is the project for making vast rail-
road between the lower provinces and Canada
which, II is said, government is TO take up. Per-
haps the thing is not mpractlcable and may yet be
eftected but il seems from the extent of the line,
the nature Of the country, the rigor Of the climate
through which il must pass, 10 be project too vast
for the country, and too difficult 10 be soon accom-
plished. English gold, however, IS nearly omnipo-
tent.
The people OF Quebec are well pleased with the
parliamentary grant of f20OOO for their relief and

rials useful IN this province, have been made at
Liverpool for Quebec, and are duly appreciated.
The theatre Is closed, alter season which has
proved more successful than is usual in Montreal;
Tor the people there are far from liberal patrons
Of the drama. Mr. skerritt, however, has been
well pleased, and is determined to try it again
large sale OF building lots has taken place on the
outskirts OF Montreal, and have realized excellent
prices, which is rathera sign Of the rapid growth of
that city, than the abundance OF money. The

A serious row took place on the race course,
where sports began on the 18Th instant. Isaacson,
an old Cockney, who is in the beefsteak and chop
line, got his crown cracked, and MIR. Scott was
severely beaten. Rumor lays it at the door of the
Canaers; but, notwithstanding the pains taken by
the papers TO make this apparent, the person beaten
declares that there were none such engaged in the
attack his tent and person. The military had TO
be sent for, but arrived too late TO have shot at the
