THE CENTRAL SUBSCRIPTION.

The Bunker Hill Aurora, which by the by
is very poor authority, states that the Yer
mont Central Rail Road had last Saturday
two and hall millions subscribed in Boston
and and one million on the route in the coun-
try. Now we don't believe either of these
assertions. The Montpelier Waterman
does not pretend 10 over one and n half mil
lions in The whole. or this, large portion
we are informed is conditional. 1t IS said
that contractor engages 10 take S600,000
Of stock il he can have the construction Of
the road-on Connecticut river the suhscrip-
lions are said TO be obtained on condition s
depending upon the location Of the road on
one side or the other of the river. But what
is worst of all, the company has not rs yet
been organized, nor anything more than u
promise 10 subscribe obtained whenever the
real subscription books shall be opened in
Boston.
The Bellows Falls Gazette says the friends
o: the Central Ronte refuse 10 show their
books, and that the probability is that not
over 100000, have been subscribed in the
country up 10 the 2lth ult. There is more
opposition 10 the rail road on the Central
Route than on ours, and by hall less ability
10 subscribe. We doubt whether 100000
available subscriptions can be obtained on
the Central Route, unless Burlington goes
heavy for it. This she will never do unless
blinded more than she already is 10 her true
interests

TROUBLE. TROUBLED!

Major Lewis, an old personal friend OF
General Jackson has been removed by Polk
from the auditors department. In relation to
this removal Mr. Polk appears 10 have placed
himself in an unenviable position, by stating
that he had consulted General Jackson upon
the subject of his removal, whereas Mr.. l..
has published a letter from Gen. j., Of April
10, which says it is positively false that he
has been consulted at all. Maj. Lewis was
a particular friend ofthe General. He says,
My dear MAORI regret your removal, as
we'll as the manner ofit.-When Mr.. Bell was
elected Speaker ofthe House, Mr.. Polk was
also candidate, and Major Lewis was in
favor Of Mr. Bell. The fact seems not 10

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC CA>AL.-Wo re-
ferred some months ago to the project OF
Don Jose de Garay. who is in London, for tho
purpose ofdrawing The attention of capitalists
10 the construction OF a ship canal from iheAt-
lantic to the Pacific Ocean. This great work
comments itself with peculiar force 10 those
in whose governments in whose hands arc
the great interest, not only of trade and COM
merce.but Of peace and civilization. The lslh-
mus of Pauamahas been truly caIIedthe barrier
which shuts out China from the contact Of
European civilization. 1t is impossible TO es-
innate the mighty results " ich would follow
the opening Of this communication; and The
greatest cause Of wonder connected with it
is, that it has not long since been accom-
plished. The following is from the Mark
Lane Express of May 26.
Don Jose de Garay, who is now in Lon
don. conceived the execution of this grand
project. and the government of Mexico ap-
preciating its vast importance, granted to him
the most ample concessions, in the case he
should succeed in carrying it out.

From the Quebec Gazette. June 80.
ANOTHER THIRD OF QUEBEC
DESTROYED.

On Saturday evening, the 2Slh Of June,
just one month after the great fire ofthc 2stb
of May, which destroyed part Of ST. Valier's
and ST. Johns suburbs, nearly all St. Roch
and the west par, OF the Lower Town 10 be-
low Hope Gate, fire commenced in St.
John Suburbs near the place outside the Gla-
els, where it stopped on the 2Sh May.
On this occasion the wind was as strong
from the northeast as it was to the west on
the 2Sth May. and the weather very dry. AT
both times the fire began TO The windward of
the densesi part of the Suburb. and was car
ried throughout the thickest part of the dwell
.ings to the leeward.
The fire has destroyed nearly the whole of
ST. John and part of ST. Lewis Suburbsfrom
St Johns Gate, and he northwest angle of
the walls, along the brow of the Coledu Ste.
Genrieor, nearly TO the Tower No. 4, and up
to a couple of Streets below ST. Lewis Road.
A number Of houses in the scattered streets
near Tower No. 3. have escaped, and few
near the Cote d abraham. and three or four
in the vast extent destroyed.
We have heard OF only one or two lives
being lost. Although it was in the night
most of The inhabitants. warned by the rapid
progress of the fire of the 2Sth of May. made
their escape in time, with part Of their
moveablcs.
1t was only about o'clock OIL Sunday
morning, that the flames were exhausted to-
ward the Tower No. 4, by there being nothing
more to burn. and by blowing up a number
Of houses north ofth ST. Lewis road.
A meeting of the General Committee of
Relief appointed by the citizens after the fire
of the 2Sth May ,met yesterday at one o'clock,
and ordered distributions of provisions, &c,
to the destitute. All public buildings were
thrown open TO the sufferers, and tents we're
pitched west of the Citadel, but many per-
sons remained with their effects along the
walls Of The town and in the fields. Num-
bers were sen. for by their relations, friends,
and acquaintance, i'll the surrounding par
ishes.
The scene ofdesolsiioc, distress ard Attic
ton, and the extent Of Of the calamity are
nearly as great as after the former connagra-
ton; the value Of the properly destroyed
probably greater. The population Of ST.
John Suburbs was about ten thousand, and
the population of ST. Rochs had mostly found
refuge in ST. John Suburbs.

Prayers RefhSed.-The Roman Catholic
Bishop Of New Orleans has refused to allow
prayers TO be offered in the Cathedral for the
rspose ofGen. JAcKsoN's soul. The departed
spirit will fare quite as well notwithstanding.
The prayers Of all the Priests in Christendom
can not aid, nor their curses injure the soul
that has gone to its account. II is beyond
the influence, for good or for evil, of mortals
and we believe the Bishops and Priests Of
the Romish Church-and even the Pope him
self-are all mortals.

the destruction of the Suburbs during the
seige ofl775. The remaining houses IN the
Suburbs are about as many as they were hail
a century ago. We have seen them spread

sand inhabitants, many ofthem wealthy, mos,
of them proprietors of their dwellings, aud
living comfortably.

MIR. Gilbert also gave II as MS opinion tnal
a survey worse than that Of MIR. FELTON, for the
ultimate success Of the road could not have
been made.
Mr.Tracy who was present was then called
upon Tor an explanation, and asked whether
Mr.. FELTON, had given him any instructions as
to the course to be pursued in making the
survey. He had received no formal instruc
lions, but before proceeding upon the survey
he had an interview with Mr.. FELTON, at which
General Brown was present. MIR. FELTON,
then advised that it would be best to adopt a
direct line as far as practicable, and expressed
his opinion that high grades were not so very
Objectionable, especially where lerge OUTLAWS
could thereby be avoided He did not at all
question the survey OF Mr.. Gilbert, and said
in substance, that he should have taken the
Otter Creek route had he not felt himself
obliged to submit TO the wishes Of the people
on the route Tho at this point urged the course
he finally adopted. He further stated that
the survey through the Mount Holley gap
was not satisfactory to him at the time lie
made it, and that he believed re-survey
would reduce the grades to so feet to the mile
on both sides Of the mountain. He at first
reported the highest grade at 60 feet, but al
tered it to 20 upon the advice Of Mr.. Felton,.
Mr.. Tracy further stated that the grades on
the route from the Connecticut up the Black
River to the foot of Mount Holley which he
had recently surveyed were the most easy
ina ENABLE.

part Of the route the most feasible. level and
the cheapest of construction Of any in the
