California EN-, grants from Burlington.

Our city and county will have pretty fair repre-.
sentation in the crowd that is on its way TO
California. The wagons that have already started
during the past few days seem to have contained
every thing necessary for such journey. Almost

they should find it-as they probably will--more pro-
table than gold digging. The four wagons Of Mcssrs
Peasey & Brooks, which started on Monday last,
made quite show. No expense has been spared IN
giving this company a complete outfit. Other wa.

The Courier des Etats Unis states that
an ancient city has been accidentally dis
covered in Asia Minor, situated on the
borders Of the old kingdoms Of Pontus'

found, although in partially ruined con-
dition. DR. Bruner, who has visited these
structures, has not, as yet, been able 70

The .ferial Locomotive Narfsd. The
New York Tribune gives The following
account Of the experiments with this nd,
chine, on Tuesday Of last week:
An exhibition Of the model Of Porter &
Roblohn's aerial locomotive was made yes-
terday afternoon in the Exchange, and was
perfectly successful. The float or spin
die shaped balloon, made Of gold-beater's
skin, was about ten feet long, to which
was suspended steam-engine in minia-
ture, weighing fire.. water, and all com.
plete-abont three or four pounds. Not
withstanding its diminitive size, the en-
CINE turned the light paddle wheels Of the
machine with ease, and kept in motion %
the water lasted. The rudder was aet 10
fly the balloon in circle. Il was started
from the eastern door Of the rotunda, and
went up steadily, propelled by the engine,
in regular gyration to the roof making
two full circles on its way. Here, q
weight having been attached, it descended
in spiral, following the set of the rud-
der, and landed safely. This experiment
was repeated a second time with like
result, and so far as flying in quiet at
mosphere. goes, the locomotive may be
considered fully successful. 1t remains
TO be seen whether large machine, sim
iiarly constructed, would safely resist the
violent connections of the open air. There
was a large number Of persons present
yesterday, who testified, by a hearty APP
plause, their opinion of the exhibition.

Correspondence bet,reen the two Govern
n,snts. The Washington correspondent
of the New York Express, says: a.
OF "the Mexican Protocol | learn be-
yond what have before said, that it has
been subject Of controversy between the
official representatives of the two Govern
ments, but the correspondence has decid-
ed nothing, and the subject has been be-
queathed to the new Administration by
the late dominant party, as one Of the most
intricate, perplexing, and difficult TO be
disposed Of. t.a.4 .a-
The Mexican Minister claims that 10
all inteDts and purposes the so called "Pro-
tocol'' is part Of the Treaty, and that
without the explanatory provisions it could
never have been approved and signed
by the Executive and Ministers Of the
Mexican Government.
The answer is, that the Mexican Con-
gress approved the treaty independently
of the Protocol, and before the Protocol
was signed, and that the explanations were
an after act. The response is that il was
no treaty without the official signatures,
and that the Executive was part Of the
treaty making power. and the only nego-
tiator known TO the Mexican Government.
a The replication again is that the treaty,
as approved by the Senate and Executive
here. is left open only to the fair constitute
ton Of the original text by both Govern
ments.
There are points enough to make the
controversy interminable. The Senate
here, however, never knew anything of
the Protocol until it was recently brought
o light. They are, therefore, called upon
disavow it, and the construction put
upon it by the Mexican Government. 1t
has been deemed necessary by some to
raise this question before the payment Of
the second instalment Of the SIS, 200, 900.
Important from Canada--- Excitement A.
n,ong The People.-There is evidently re-
bellion brewing in Canada, and the move
ments in that quarter are watched with no
little anxiety. A dispatch to the N. York
Herald, dated Montreal, March Goth says
The Rebellion Losses Bill passed the
upper House on Thursday, by majority
of four. There was great opposition to
the bill. a protest was entered by the
minority. Great anxiety is felt about the
probable course Of the Governor General.
A rumor is current to-day that he will re-
serve the bill for the assent Of the Queen.
Addresses are pouring in from all parts
Of the provinces the tone of some OF
which is reported as being very violent
Many plans are proposed if the bill is
sanctioned. The metropolis is quiet a,
present; and no movement will be made
until the Governor Generals course is
known. 1t is stated that the minority in
tend dropping the Representation Bill.

anticipated Insurrection in Canada.

anticipated lnsurrectaon IN Canndn.-
The revolutionary demonstrations in Ca
NADIA are beginning TO engage the attention
Of our Government. 1t is stated, BY a
Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, that in the event Of an out
break or revolution in Canada, il is the in
tention Of our Government to prevent in
reference on tie part Of our citizens, and
that Gen. Wool will probably be sent TO
the northern frontier, for the purpose Of
restraining our citizens. Upon this the
Herald says:
"But this cannot prevent the people on
our borders from sympathising with the
Canadians in their efforts to sep arate from
England Indeed, it is very probable
that that class Of our population knownas
Free Sellers, will be the very first to break
the regulation, because it will be their de-
sire to separate Canada from England, so
that il may be incorporated with this coun-
try and increase the strength Of their par
". However this may be, it is very prob
able that the action Of our Government will
be the very means Of Fastening the crisis
which appears to approaching in Can
adam affairs, because it will leave the peo-
pie Of that country to settle the matter
themselves. The probability is, from what
we have seen recently, that when the
stepis decided upon, and the blow struck
for separation, the whole population Of
Canada will be favorable to the measure"
