The Hamilton (Canada) Spectator OF the 22d
inst, IN commenting on the Canada and Pacific
Railroad project, observes that there is nothing
novel in the proposition, nor in the mode by which
IL IS 10 be carried on. Both English and Canadi an
writer's have contended, years ago. that the short
est and cheapest route from England 10 the East
Indies and China lies through the North American
colonies, and the placing as vIceroy over the Bril-
ush possessions IN this quarter OF the world, of a
meRber OF the royal family, has been suggested
time and again. The attempt to revive these
schemes at this particular juncture IL, how
ever, deserving Of attention. The recent dis
coveries in California. the immense importance
Of the trade OF the East, and the efforts which
are being made by the leading nations Of the world
To extend their commerce, especially on the Pacific,
are quite sufficient to cause an Inquiry into the
merits OF suggestions which, few years ago, were
looked upon as visionary and impracticable. With
out havirg the work before US, IL is impossible to
say auRht respecting the facts and arguments adj
duceo; but as the subject has attracted the notice
OF, and has apparently created some alarm among,
our republican neighbors, we are entitled to assume
that the author has succeeded in arousing an inte
rest which will test the advantages urged in the
scheme. The total cost Of the road from Halifax
TO Pagers Sound, opposite the Island Of Van
couver, distance OF z, 500 miles, Is estimated at
Il4OO0 OCO-sn average OF $4,000 per mile.
The construction OF the work would afford en-
ployment for five millions of poor people from the
mother country, who would eventually become
useful settlers along the line Of road; end, when
the Immense sums paid annually for the support
" IduItIb IN lItiahu ana EDgland, lS taken INTO
account, together with this plan Of aifording per-
msnent relief, by Undertaking a great national
work, and at the same time making profitable
investment, u must be admitted that the propo-
sition Is entitled TO the best consideration Of those
befor, whom II is brought. One thing, at least, IL
certaiI-no return can ever be expected for the
large sumo now expended In afording relief TO
the poor al home; and there are no hopes OF
escaping the payment Of this annual tribute TO
paupersm, until the country is relieved OF por.
ton Of its dense population. How much better
would II be, then, to expend the money now paid
for saving people from starvation In such manner
as to secure their comfort and prosperity IN another
