Changes OF capital have occurred sew

that is not likely to afford much conso-
lation to disesta blished Calcutta. Per
haps the most notable instance is that
of British Columbia, whose original
capital was New Westminster. so chris
tened by Queen Victoria herself But
after some years New Westminster
was found unsuitable. and the metrop-
oils was shifted to Victoria. The crown
colony of Fiji. in the south Pacific. has
