We stated some weeks ago that, while

railroad shall be built across the American
continent, the government Of Great Britain
has actually chartered u company, endowed,
1t il said. with capital sufficient Tor n con.

II il perhaps not generally known that,
while We have been satisfying ourselves with
the assured conviction that the territory Of
the British Possessions Is too cold and
sterile TO admit Of u work 10 gigantic. the
English have been quietly surveying rail
road route through this very country, aud
Professor Palissor, who for more than two
years has been engaged In the survey, does

fgaration Of British America is cmincnily

Of its completion and management. the
