patriotic army has also at its disposal eight field

On the whole the prospects for the peace of Italy
are not very brilliant very hopeful. procla-
nation of the Junta in the Legation says, signif-
cantly europe has learnt that no rest is to be
looked for here until laws are had suitable to con-
temporary civilization and adds: ''The champion

gives his concurrence in our reasonable claims

our long minority is over, and we take our affairs
into our own keeping to transmit independence to

the native soldiers cannot be depended on and that
something must be done. Upon hearing this Plus

reforms
"Our letters from Rome announce the introduc

consequence of the negotiations which have been
gong on with reference to the Presidency of the
future Italian Confederation the Pontiica govern
ment has consented to adopt the Code Napoleon
suppresslng only those articles relating to the civil
marriage. A few days ago we announced the adop-
ton OF this same code without the Objectionable
restriction above mentioned by the Provisional
Government of the Romagna. If this resolution has
really been taken by the Roman Government it is
probable that the fall of Cardinal Antone will pre-
cede these notifications in the political system
which that minister has never ceased to support
with such deplorable obstinacy."

PRosPECTIyE CHANGES IN CANADIAN TRAnE-Ar-
rangements have been made by the Grand Trunk
hallway for carrying goods in bond through Canada
to Chicago, Cincinnati ST. Louis and other cities of
the West, by which saving in time of ten days will
be accomplished in the transit from Quebec Sew
era attempts have been made to establish n direct
trade by the Lakes and the st. Lawrence with sail
ing vessels but the peculiar construction required
Il
crossing the Atlantic. 1t is expected that difficult
ties may be nterposed by the Customs of the United
States to the through transit by rail, and this WILL
1t is said lead to a revision Of the navigation laws
OF America-a question in which the Canadas are
as much interested as the Western States of the
Union. American vessels are allowed the cOastng
trade from port to port on the Canadian shore,
while Canadian vessels are confined to a direct
trade between Canada and one port in the United
States. This, however, is becoming of little advan-
tage, as the railway system saves some 500 miles
OF distance, and the water carriage cannot compete
Durdened rs it is with heavy marine insurance,
dues on canals, and port charges, and subject to
detentions by togs and gales of wind. 1t is
much IN the position that the trade in the Baltic
would be, If there were outlet by the Cat
tegat, beyond nine feet of water and vessels had to
pass through the Elder Canal. Should any obstruc-
tons be offered to the transit of goods in bond
through Canada, the Imperial Government will be
compelled to remonstrate; and if no redress is to be
mad, the retaliatOry clause must be enforced, and
our trade with our British possessions declared a
coastlng trade. AT present British American
ship can clear from England for Chicago with
goods Why should not these vessels carry goods
to Quebec on a through bill of lading in bond, by
railway, to Chicago Cincinnati, and st. Louis, and
De chargeable with the same duties if carried all
the way by water ? II steamers depriving the
American shipOwners of the emigrant and goods
trade to New ork destined for the West they must
follow their trade to Portland and Quebec. Cotton
has been sent from the Southern States over the
railways, and through Canada, to Portland and
boston. Why not to Quebec and Liverpool,
light freight for ships loaded with timber? Our
shlpowners should have eye to the carrying
trade of the West. where the consumption of iron,
hardware and earthenware is very great, aifOrding
outward cargOes to the extent of at least million
OF tons. With the completion of Victoria Bridge
and wharfage facilities at Quebec, which it is
derstood the Grand Trunk will have provided
next year, no ships need proceed to Quebec in
ballast,
