especially set apart, in the National Gallery, (Pa-
tent Office building) for the display of birds and
| quadrupeds from the collection OF Captain Sans-
bury's expedition to the Salt Lake, deposited for

the last named gentleman. The case stands about
midway Of the gallery. In the front part of it a

collection embraces variety of ducks, several of
which new to the United States; white fronted
| geese, Canada geese, the cock of the plains, or
| American pheasant, burrowing owls, swans from
Salt Lake, (Cygnus Americanus,) sandhill cranes,

There are, in another case, a few hawks, wood
peckers, petrels, gulls, and ducks from Mazatlan,
also deposited by Colonel Albert.
The floor of the gallery and the cases have re-
Gently undergone the process Of cleansing; but still
we have to regret that Congress did not provide
for repanting this popular place of resort.

continent which is as yet comparatively unex-
plored, and would pave the way 10 more perfect
union between the communities dwelling on the
shores Of the Pacific and those occupying the At
lantic States. We will not venture to speculate on
ulterior consequences; il may suffice that We find
abundant justification for the enterprise in facts
concerning which we cannot we'll be mistaken, and
in considerations plain that they cannot easily
be overlooked
Mr.. Whitney has made considerable progress in
America in obtaining countenance TO his scheme.
The Legislatures of twenty-one states nave de-
cared in its favor; committee oil the Senate, In
report which is now before US, have expressed
decided opinion in support OF the plani and bill
has been for some tmei before Congress formally
conferring the authority which Mr.. Whitney alone
requires TO enable him to commence operations.
Still il is by means certain that the project will
he carried out as at present proposed. An I'M
mense stream Of emigration has been directed for
some time past to the region Of Lake Michigan,
and il seems to be very probable that, before
act of Congress can be obtained, 80 much OF the
land on the proposed line will have been ahenated
as to render impossible the accomplishment OF the
enterprise within the territory of the United States
There remains, however, the vacant ground extend
ing over parallel track the British side of the
frontier, and we have MIR. Whitney's express adj
mission that he could make British ground the
railway which he proposes to construct in his
country. IL Is true that, in some respects,
though not To any material extent, the Canadian
side of the border would be less eligible than that
of the United States; sl il is very important 10
know that an alternative line is possible. Nothing
must be done TO deprive, unfairly ungenerously,
Mr.. Whitney and the United States Of the full
benefit and credit of this great and sagacious
dertaking; yet we must not forget that England
also has wildernesses to reclaim, population to
feed and employ, markets to create and develop,
and commerce TO strengthen and extend. We
have already taken elfectual means to carry rail
way from Halifax to Quebec; and if the Govern
nent of the United States cannot speedily come to
terms with the author Of the project before us, it
will become fair subject for consideration whe
ther he should not address himself to the British
government-or whether the latter should not
adopt some plan for connecting Quebac with the
shores of the Pacific similar in s tiai features
to the scheme which, whatever may be its actual
result, will not fail to confer upon Mr. Whitney
hi ph and merited reputation.
