DOMINION OF CANADA.

Threatened Closing Of the WelIand Canal to
American Shipping.
TORONTO, Dec 10, 1870.
The following special from the seat OF government
appears in the Telegraph this morning.
In view OF the threatened adoption by President
Grant OF Buffers non-lntercommercial policy
towards Canada, including the Withdrawing Of the
bonding system, 1t is interesting to know the i'm
mense accommodation which eanada has afforded
to the United states by permitting that country the
free use Of the Weland Canal In the year ending
the 3oth Of June last no less than 1854 American
steam and sailing vessels with tonnage OF 1856 742
tons, passed through the canal. The withdrawal Of
the bonding privilege would it Is currently believed
necessarily entail a like withdrawal Of the use OF
Welland Canal to American vessels, which, OF
course would affect most disastrousy the cities OF
Chicago, Cleveland, Oswego and Ogdensburg.

The Golden Age of Spain.

@' In the year 755, the Spanish kingdom. be-
came independent, aud the three centuries
following were the most prosperous in the
Mohammedan Spain. But the golden age
was during the tenth century. The aIoors,
though warlike, ~ere still industrious, and as-
riculture Aourshcd in Spain during those years
as it has never fourished there Since Roads
and bridges were constructed, aud canals for
fertilizing the ground were formed in all parts
Of the country. Learning, too, was eacour-
aged by the kings OF Cordova; at the close
OF the 18th century Moorish Spain could
boast her seventy libraries; while her poets,
orators. historians, philosophers and niathema-
ticians were secoud to none of that age
Cordoya, the capitol, was equal to many cities
like the Cordova OF to-day. At one time
there was in that city SIX hundred large
mosques and nearly four thousand chapels, Or
| mosques Of smaller dimensions; four thous-
and three hundred minarets, or towers, from
which the people were called to prayera nine
hundred public baths; more than eighty
thousand shops; sixty thousand palaces and
mansions; aud Two hundrod aud, thirteen

can form some idea Of its splendor VIXEN We

l
In 1881 the kingdom of Cordova came to
an end, and several petty Kingdoms took its
place, But soon these Kingdoms became. de-
pendent upon the Arabic monarchs Of North
ern Africa. During the eleventh and twelfth
centuries. the Christians gained rapidly on
the Moors and by the year 1888, the date
of the foundation of the kingdom of Graua-
d. tho latter people retained only part Of
Southern Spain. The little kingdom Of Gra-
NADIA, though only some seventy leagues in
length by thirty III breadth, contained thirty
two large cities, ninety seven smaller ones, and
a population of three millions. The city Of
Granada alone had seventy thousand houses.
This kingdom held out against the Christians
till the beginning of the year 1892. With
the fall of Granada came the close Of the
Moorish rule in the peninsula A few years
later, many Of the Moors were expelled from
the country. But the traveller still sees IN
various parts of Spain numerous traces of
thar dominion. He sees these traces in the
oriental style Of the edi6ces in the alcazars
in the mosques, now converted into Christian
churches, in the beautiful palace of the Al
hambra, and in the canals which still ferti-
lie the soil from which those who made them
we're expelled more than three centuries ago.
