nopolze the trade OF all Western Africa. The Ru'.

pays twenty five millions for the African squadron,

reason why the House of Commons lately rejected
a motion proposing the suppression Of the African
squadron. Mr. Fitzgerald 'showed that under the
guardianship of the African squadron regular
trade, Of which all the profits would 60 to the
English, is by degrees being established on the

persons 10 the service of the Hudson's Bay Com.

journey would cost but little. A gun and some
ammunition are nearly all that is needed. The
whole route is stocked plentituily with game; at
this season grouse are abundant, and ducks are
numerous in the lakes and rivers. When the buff
falo country is reached, plentiful supply of the
choicest viauds may be had with little trouble.
Other persons of experience say that it is too late
