THE CrY ELEcrIoNs.-Preparation are now
made with a great deal of spirit and zeal for the
coming election in this city in November next,
although the movements are not of such character
as to excite much public attention as yet There
will be three parties in the field-the democrats, the
wings, and the natives. AS the native organization
is stl kept up, though with greatly diminished vigor
and efficiency, it continues to exercise its adverse
influence upon the prosperity and strength of the
whlg party. Greeley, the organ of the young whigs'
is also to be classed amongst the influences which
operate disas rously upon the fortunes of whiggsm
in this metr ropos. His wild vagaries about social
reform and reorganization, and his abolitonism,
have created great deal Of disgust and indigna-
ton in many quarters in the party to which he is
professedly attached. The great contest will be be
tween the wings proper and the natives as which
can poll the greatest number Of votes. AS matters
stand now, the democrats will no doubt sweep the
field, as in the last election.

CANADA. The principal topic in the Canada pa

road between the lower provinces and Canada,
which, 1t Is said, government is to take up. Per-
haps the thing is not impracticabe and may yet be
effected but II seems from the extent of the line,
the nature OF the country, the rigor of the climate
through which it must pass 10 be project too vast
for the country, and too difficult to be accom-
plished. English gold, however, is nearly omnpo-
