A New ROUTE DISCOVERED TO THE PAcGFIc.-A
new route has been projected across the Central
American lsthmus by an enterprsing British com
mander. Bedford PIN, the commander of her Ma
ctn
tic coast of Central America, has discovered and
caused to be surveyed new route across the 18th
mus OF Nicaragua. The proposed route avoids the
now almost closed harbor of San Juan del Norte
ana the Intercourse, and starts from Monkey Point
toward Blewields, where there is said to be an ex-
cellent harbor. The track for railroad starts
from this point on the Atlantic, in direct course
Tor the lake, emerging at place short distance
above Fort San Carlos.
The balance of the route is taken by steamers
across the lake, and by the road from Virgin Bay
to San Juan del Sur on the Pacific. Being quite
sanguine that this route is to become an important
one, the commodore says he has secured most IA
Vorable concession from the King of MOSQUITO and
has purchased the whole sea frontage and some of
the Cage at Monkey Point. This franchise, with
AIN IS prospective advantages, has been offered to
the Panama Railroad Company, and also to Mr..
Vanderbilt. Parties in England NAV also have
been rendered the benefits of the discovery The
Panama Company have declined to treat for it, and
the field is now entirely open to the steamship
him for some escape from his perplexing position
in his California passenger and mail business.
NEGROES EXPELLED FROM A CANADIAN TOWNSHIP.
The Detroit Free Press of Tuesday says that all
the negro residents have been summarily expelled
from the town of Anderdon, Essex county, Can
ada. Anderdon is situated a few miles from De-
troit on the other side of the river and was as
thickly populated with negroes as any in Canada
but they lately became bold in their depredations
and crimes that their presence was no longer en-
durable. Accordingly the authorities of the town
ship petitoned the grand jury last fall to take
action relative to them and the jury in consequence
presented them as a nuisance Their outrages
eliminated a few weeks since in an attack upon a
number of peaceabe and defenceless citizens, and
now the day of retribution has vertaken them.
The whole lot have been summarily driven out of
the township. They had been given homes, but
they so abused the Kindness extended to them that
the authorities are obliged, in order to protect
their lives and property, to drive them out as thew
would so many wild beasts.
