THE IsTHMUs CANAL. - Lieutenant Com
mander Selfrdge, gentleman well known in
Portland, has recently visited the harbors of
Caledonia Bay and st. Bias, both spoken of
as termini of the proposed Isthmus canal, and
has addressed an interesting communication
to the Navy Department. He says:
Caledonia Bay, about one hundred and fifty
miles to the south of this place, is O fine and
spacious harhor, completely land locked, easy
OF access, as the reefs surrounding it are bold
The chart OF Called )nia Bay, as furnished by
the Department, found perfectly correct.
There are numerous small villages OF Indians
skirting the coast, but no blacks or creoles to
the South of ST. Bias. These Indians are ex-
tremely uncommunicative; no rewards that l
could hold seem to have any effect in inducing
them to reveal any secrets they may possess Of
the interior The; have great dread of the
white man coming among them, and would
mislead in every possible way; but they are an
inohensive people, though, like ] Indians,
treacherous. Any future explorations must
not rely in aLy way upon them, either for
information or assistance, as they are averse to
labor, and would run away, even ii a few could
be induced to offer, which is not likely.
The gulf or bay fist. Bias is Of great extent,
fully equalling that OF New York, and is very
deep. 1t is approached by various passages be-
tween the reels, which are generally bod and
clear. The confguration of the coast of St
Bias is lower than at any other point have
seen except Aspinwall. My own observations
coupled with what have learned from the ma
tive blacks, lead me to fix upon this point as
one that will be most favored for the location
Of the canal, though this and Caledonia Bay
should be thoroughly explored before accept
ing one in preference to the other.
These native blacks have considerable
knowledge Of the interior as far south as the
Mandingo river, which empties into the Bay OF
st. Bias. They differ from the Indians: for
knowing that auy canal would be bane f1eial to
them, they are willing to give all the informa-
ton they know. Accustomed to work in the
brush, they would form a most useful and me-
cessary part of an exploring expedition, aud
from them this kind of labor should be drawn
in preference to the Indians
l should like very much to offer my services
with the Nipsic, in connection with any ex-
ploring expedition the Department may see
proper to fit out. But for the successful ex
plolation an expedition should be thoroughly
hIted in the United States wta picked men,
provisions in concentrated form, and the
necessary appliances for survey, not found on
man-oi-war.

The DUKE OF MoNTPENsIER.-A correspon-
dent of the Paris Figaro relates an item of re-
Prospective history which is verv little 10 the
credit OF the Duke OF Montpepsier. the candid
ate for the Spanish throne. The Duke, who IL
the second son of Louis Philippe, was present
at the painful scene when the ab1ieation oil lhs
French monarch was urged bv N. Emile de
Girardin. The King was 10th to sign aw ay hrs
royalty, but the Duke vebemently urged him
to do SO, using language both ds-espectfnl as
a subject and undutiful as son. The King
showed deep emotion, flushed, aud trsia start
ed to his eyes. Then he took quill pen from
his desk, and wrote out in his large hand writ
ing the deed of abdication. When he had sign
ed il he dipped the pen deep in the.inkstand,
and literally broke it on the Dukes face, which
he covered with ink, exclaiming, in a toue Of
concentrat ed rage, Are you satisfied now7"

As sovereign she is the hardest working
woman in England. Her official duties usual

ane hour before breakfast Wherever she Is,
dispatches are sent daily by messengers, who
ride in first class cars, bearing what are called
baskets The papers from all the Depart

are dark morocco boxes about a foot IN length
These are sent irom Downing street, the Ad-
miralty, the Home Department, the Head OF
the Army, &c. Each basket is locked by the
man who sends it. A card hanging from the
inside contaiDs the name OF the Minister

borne, carries messengers with these boxes
The Queen and Minst ter alone can unlock

them, Tor she signs nothing which she does not
read. Every bill act, treaty, document, petition
or paper required her name, are subject to her
personal attention. Her Majesty is admitted
TO be one of the best business men In the king

A gold nugget, weighing not less than 200
lbs. troy, has been found in Victoria. 1t is
doubtful whether SO large a quantity of the
precious metal has ever been found before in
one mass. The great nugget of 1853 weighed
only LAG lbs. 1t is noticeable that all these
great Jumps of gold have been found In Aus
