FROM THE COPPER REGION A newspaper
called the Lake Superior Neaos has recently been
established at the town of Soo,'' in the copper
region. The last number is dated 18th ult, and
contains some interesting intelligence, which we
subioin:
John Brown, agent for the Quebec mines, ar
rived on the l4th on the Franklin, from Milwaukee,
with large force of men and miners, on his way
to Point Aux mines, or Mica Bay, to commence
operations again, on the old ground from which
this company were driven off last fall by the Ind
ans. The Indian difficulties have been settled
and the company intend to drive their works with
vgor.
The British soldiers that went up last fall to pro-
tect the miners of the Quebec mines from further
attack, are garrisoned at the Hudson Bay Com
panYs Post, on the opposite side Of the river where
they have been during the winter, and il Is said
permanent garrison will be located there.
The propeller Napoleon left for the mines on the
10Th and the Independence on the 10TH with full
loads OF freight and passengers the first departure
this season. No boat has yet arrived from up the
lake, and hence there is no later news from the
mines. Nothing has been heard from Isle ROYAL
since November last.
The propeller Manhattan started on her over
land journey around the falls of Lake Superior
on the 18th, and in three days had proceeded
thirty rods. She was expected to be floating in
Lake Superior in two weeks. She is hauled on
much the same kind of ways as a vessel is launched
ifom-is $50 feet long and weighs less than $50
tons. There being several sets of ways, as fast as
she leaves one set ii is moved forward so that she
is kept almost constantly moving.

The Committee on Roads and Canals have re-
ported avorably 70 this as the only prac-
ticable mode Of connecting the two oceans The
distance between Canton and London by this
ronte will be one-fourth less, and the scoHomy Of
time will be full two-,hirds. The saving between
New York and Canton is still greater, in distance
one-half, and in time about fourfftbs. The con-
struction of such road will necessarily throw the
whole commerce of the East into our hands, and
New York and New Orleans become the great de-
pots of Oriental wealth. WHAT'S toprevent Amer

Venice grew rich by it. Lisbon and Amsterdam,
and last London, have accumulated wealth from
its sweepings. AT dear price did they purchase
this privilege. The atrocities Of the London mer-
chants, acting under their chartered monopoly, are
embalmed in the indignant strains of Sheridan and
Burke.
When America obtains this commerce it will be
