New NAVAL STATION AT VANcoUvER's ISLAND
| We understand that the British government have
after due deberation, determined upon forming a
great depot and naval station at Vancouvcr's
Island, the Pacific 1t is SAID that that island
presents great inducements for the establishment
of naval station, for it abounds with coal, and the
soil is very good for farming purposes
But it may be that the government of England
have other things in view, in addition to mere
naval station, on that island 1t is said that there
is a practicable route for railroad through the
Rocky Mountains, for connecting the Canadas
with the British possessions on the Pacific. If this
is true, and such speculation should be carried
INTO effect, it WILL of course, exercise an important
influence on the commerce of the world, and es-
peciaily on the relations of Europe and ASIA We
shall watch the proceedings of the British, at Van
couyers Island, with good deal of interest.

The above is a curious and interesting table,
and one which suggests great deal of reflection.
We had thought that New York possessed, in an
eminent degree, the elements of progress, and that
its increase and growth were much greater than
those of any other city in the Union. But we per-
ceive that Boston is, in this respect far ahead of
us, and grows much more rapidly than New York
does Our Eastern neighbors attribute their sue
cess to the number of railroads running through
their State, and ending in Boston, in which we
place reliance. If this the true cause it be-
hooves New Workers to ponder on the subject, and
to devise method by which we will be enabled to
reap advantages equal to those which our Boston
neighbors enjoy
