not less than fftysix railway enterprises have
been sanctioned by Parliament Of these,
twenty-six have not yet been commenced, or
their charters have expired. There have been

the condition of affairs in Dominica
1.-THE treaty Of friendship, commerce, and
navigation, recently concluded by w. l.. Caz-
neau, ESQ.,, on the part Of the United States,
with the Republic Of Dominica, has terribly
excited the English and French Consuls there,
and it is said they have made a strong verbal
protest against it, II is further stated that the
British Consul has addressed the Dominican
government an insolent note, in which he
states that the said government cannot nego-
tate such a treaty without the consent of En-.
gland and France. Two Dominican journals
had also been suppressed, at the instance of the
French Consul for expressing sentiments ia
vorsble TO the United States.
"Ths action Of the two consuls has, so far,
prevented the ratification Of the treaty by the

"a STATUE of surpassing merit. Its power and
pathos are independent Of time, place, and condi-
lion. The charm and power of the statue con-
sists in the amazing truth with which the two
great elements of humanity and mortality are de-
lineated. The artist gives us all the pathos and
the tragedy of death without its ghastlness and
horror. We feel ourselves in the presence Of that
awful Power before whose icy sceptre all mortal
distinctions are levelled. Nostafue was ever more
marked by simplicity. Nothing has been done
for effect. No vulgar applause Is courted, and
observed - billiards Sir Months in Haiy
"a wonderful production of art. Its simplicity
is such that IL does not strike at first; the admira-
ton comes aferward, and in tide sufficiently
deep and strong. II is the moment of exhaustion,
Of aintness, of death."-Mrs. ERs.

Byron's immortal stanza
| see before me the Gladiator lie:
He leans upon his hand-his manly brow
Consents 10 death, but conquers agony.
And his droop'd head sinks gradually low
And through his side the last drops, ebbing
From The red cash, fall heavy, one by one.
Like the FIRST of thunder-shower; and now
The arena swims around him-he is gone,
Ere ceased the inhuman shout which haild the
wretch who won.
He heard IT, but he needed not--his eyes
Were with his heart, and that was far away;
lie reclSd not Of the life he lost nor prize.
Bot where his rude hut by the Danube lay
There were his young barbarians all az play,
There was their Dscian mother-he their sire,
Butchers TO make Roman holiday
All this rush'd with his blood. Shall he expire,
And unavenged Arise ye Cloths, and glui
your ire

FROM ST. DOMINGO.

We publish below the letter.of protest writ
ten by General Cazneau, United States Com
missioner, to the English and French Consuls at
st. Domingo, which was drawn forth by menac-
ing display of a strong naval force, which it is
supposed has been summoned there with the
view and purpose of arresting the free action Of
the Dominican Government in its relations with
the United States. Four French vessels Of
war are now at that port and an English feet
is expected:
"ST. DoNIYGo, Nov. II.
The undersigned, commissioner plenipotenti
airy Of the United States of America near this
government having good reasons to know that
the agents of France and England have, by
various means, aided by menacing display Of
an armed force before this capital, overawed
and controlled the free action Of the Dominican
Republic in its relations with the United States,
hereby protests, in the name of his country,
against this breach of honorable faith towards
his government, and against this unwarrantabe
encroachment upon the sovereign rights of an
independent American power.
. Every enlightened government in amity with
the United States is perfectly informed OF their
determined purpose, as a nation, to oppose
whatever measure may be intended to subject
the independent nationality Of an American
people to the arbitrary will Of q foreign power,
or make its action, and even existence, depend
ent on the dicta of foreign policy; and none
of those nations have taken exceptions 10 this
immutable principle Of the American system.
The United States make no difference in the
application Of this rule between the strong and
the weak Of their sister republics, and they
have just right TO expect the powerful and
magnanimous nations Of Europe win follow
their example.
These facts being so well understood, must
call your particular attention, Dr, to this incon
sderate violation Of the relations of amity and
commerce now subsisting between our respec-
tive countries, in the trust that you, ais the
responsible representative Of your government
at this capital, will use the necessary precsu-
tons TO guard those relations from further dis
turbance.
If this due care should be omitted, the gov
eminent and people Of the United States may
conceive they have Just cause to distrust the
sincerity and good faith of any government
whose agents in these waters are there permit
ted TO interfere in affairs and negotiations be-
longing entirely and exclusively to the interests
of the United States and the Dominican Re-
public; and am confident that you, sir, would
regret equally with myself the consequences
which might result from this unauthorized in
termsddling with the sanctity and freedom Of
inter American relations.
Yours, respectfully,
VIM. l.. CAZNEAU.
