From All can Iesrn, il is the intention OF 1he
Government to propose that Csnads SHAH ex'enu
the required aid 70 Tire Quebec and Halifax Kan
way. The Finance Minister is decidedly In "a
vor of the course New-Brunswick has con
scented to send a delegate to the Convention 10 oe
held here on the subject ibis Summer, and should
that Province ultimately consent 20 support the
undertaking. there is little doubt il will succeed.
The Canadian Government have SO strong naa'
ioritv that they will 10 all probability be able 90
csrry any measure they may propose IN support
of this railroad. Nova Scotia gives the measure
a cordial support; and the present hesitancy on
the part Of New Brunswick seems to DC 'ue ohiy
bar 10 the success Of the project ,,.i
The announcement OF the intended WITHDRAWN
of the troops from Canada has been received
almost without any manifestations OF regret nor
on the other hand has any eXultauon al tne plos

The annexation feeling iSmuch Gained down. and

since the United States Fugitive Slave Law came
into operation the number of annexationlsts, on
this side has very materially decreased. The

For some days past there have been rumors

that there Is no foundation forthe statement.
That this community is not wholly free from tne
prejudice against color is shown by the fact that
