Lord BURY, a member OF the British
Commons thus skc,chcd, in recent speech,
the route by which England may open di.
rect communication with the Pacific:
With a view 10 the opening up of q
communication between Lake Superior and
the Pacific, he would suggest that the sys-
TEN adopted by the United States in the
formation OF ship canal might be very
easily applied. In that case, 10000 acres
of land were set aside in the State Of Mich.
gan, and were given in trust for the persons
who made the canal, on condition that they
finished it; and as il advanced, and they
wanted money, part of the land was sold
and supplied funds for prosecuting the work.
1t was found that the sale Of these lands,
made infinitely more valuable by the canal
itself, fully remunerated the shareholders for
their Undertaking and be thought it would
not be Difficult, to set aside reserves Of land
along the line from Lake Superior 20 the
Pacific, and apply that to complete the
communication between those two points
With the exception Of single rapid (which
might be avoided by canal, navigation of
tie Saskatchewan offered no difficulty.
With this one exception, you could take
vessel Of considerable size up to the foot Of
the Rocky Mountains and at this point
there was gap in the mountains which
would interpose no great obstacles in the
way of a junction between the Columbia
and the Saskatchewan. whose sources were
but little distance apart. Thus a commu-
nication would be established with the great
Pacific, and be hoped some day to see this
great work accomplished.

But there is yet another project, said to
be perfectly feasible, which is about to be
set on foot, and which l must not omit to

will start about the LIST of August, with
party Of twenty men, ascend the river to

where work will be at once commenced on
a road Of only thirty miles in length, which
will connect with the st. Louis river

to have the whole in working order by next

If all these efforts do not turn to good
account, it will not be Tor lack Of energy
and ambition on the part of the people Of

been cbeapened, and, like everything that is
free. has ilouriahed and grown abundant.
No one believes that usury law will
