We cannot bu#remem:â€" ber with what a flourish of drums and trumâ€" pets the nativity of that highâ€"sounding enterâ€" prise was heraldedâ€"with how much pomp oi cirecumstance and pamphleteering its pretenâ€" tions were notified to the public. What has become of its projection and projectors? We hare some dim recollection that after a sickly infantey it became as a house divided against itself, and the result followed the usual consequences of such & division. Whether the findertaking wholly collapeed, we are unable: to say ; but if it has still any vitality, the opportumity seems now to oifer for its resuscitation and more healthy develâ€" opment.* The title of the company would lead. the world to suppose that its functions would be that of a carrying or express comâ€" pany, providing a means of communication between the western point of civilization and the distant settlements of the Red River Terâ€" ritory. It turned out, however, that the gen:lemen who formed the provisional loard were moved rather by a spirit of personal gain than by a patriotic desire to open up the country bordering on the Selkirk settlement. Toronto merchgnts hbad no obâ€" jection to become Directors in a Company which they supposed would assume to itseli the monopoly of a new market. They were willing to be first to seize chances of selling some thousands of dollars worth of goodsw‘ nually to the settlers, and to trade with the: Indians for peltries and other products of the wilderness. This, no doubt, would hnu*on a snug"and profitable little commerce ; ‘but unfortunately for our canny friends, ajmeâ€" thing more had to be accomplished .as preliâ€" minary to the means of carrying on such a ‘trade. The transportation function : of the Company was needed to facilitate business opperations, and as the Western wild was without romds, posts, or means of trausit for merchandize, the first step involved a large outlay for the completion of a chain of comâ€" munication. . Here appears to have been the stumbling block of the Northâ€"Western Transâ€" portation Comp&n$â€"the funds were wanting, and the projectors were either unwilling or unable to provide them. The President of the Company Wwent to England to point out to the monied men of that country the great advantages that would *accrue from investments in that direction, but tie cautious capitalists of thé‘ English money market were obtuse, and «* couli not see it." Quarrels then arose in the company‘s « want of means to carry out so extensive an undertaking became fatal to the project. t East and West, by Rail, Daily, > Aylmer & N.

The raineral wealth of this western region has long been known to exist, but the difficulâ€" ty of ingress, as well as its geographical posiâ€" tion has perhaps been the cause of its running so long undeveloped and comparatively unâ€" known. The deadening influences of the Hudson Bay Company haswalso prevailed to paralyze all private adventures. Recent events however, have caused the veil whicn overâ€" hung a knowledge of the districts resources to, be removed. Gold has been found in considâ€" erable quantities <at various points. along a line comprising six hundred miles of counâ€" try. Soimportant has this been considered by thosg upon the spot, that the Governor of the Hudson Bay c-)mp.ny has gone to En‘.. land, doubtless to consult with the Directors uponthe cecurrence u-l to receive instructions asto his future procedure in the premises. Large nuggets,of one and two hundred pounds value, are said to have been found, and exâ€" plorers of experience report that there are equally as good: indicutions on this side of the mountain, as on the Western. A‘ corres> pondent of the Nor‘ Wester, a paper published at the Red River settlement, writesâ€" _ /. Mining has been conducted after the same manner as farming, and with similar results. The Red Rock has never been discoveredâ€"not oné bas ever sunk a shaft. Most of the gold that has been gathered as yet, has been found within ten or twelve inches of the surface, and on the bars of the rivers. I have already said my experience in mining is small, bat from:miners I have learned that they make from $4 to $10 per day, and ‘sometimes $30. They say the richest surface diggings areworked out on the N. Branch ; that there are plenty of $5 dixgings, but to such they cannot stick. Some have found a substratum about two feet from the surface, much richer than the upper, and will pay the labor as well. Mr. Eraamus, who has been interpreter for missionaries for several years, and travelled extensively over the country, and has some knowledge of minâ€" ing, says there is rich mining on the Red River. Mr. ghunnon and Mr. Anderson retarn ed from the Arthabasca River, where they were pecting a short time before 1 left. They :::d some of the desired dust, and made some $10 a day each, till their provisions and tobacco gave out, when they were obliged to Jeave. ‘The difficulty of getting provisions is one of the principal obstacles in the way of TRIAVELLERS® DiRECTORY.

What mining will be, no one canâ€" tell, but, from all 1 ‘can learn, 1 know no rcason why mining on this side of the mountains may not be as extensive as on the other. lHowever tx: gold mines may turn out, my opinion is, that coel, loed, and salt will prove of greater and more lasting benefit to the country. It 1 clear from theke recent events that something will shortiy hare to be done to wards the assumption of the government of this district.

He had also a quantity of excellent pork for sale. Another noticeable stall was Mr. Slattory‘s, where beef, mutton, veal & pork, tempted the eye of the purchaser. The beef exhibited was fed by Mr. John Graâ€" ham, of Nepean, and the mutton by Mr. Boyle. The stall of Satchell, Bros., also attracted atâ€" tention. Here were exhibited the carcases of other cattle fed by Mr. Graham, a noted stock raiser.

We are not ignerant that thers exâ€" |! ists in Canada, but, above all, outside of Canada, || aâ€"partyâ€"very small as to numbers, but exâ€" | | ceedingly noisy in its declamationâ€"which preaches anncxation to the United States. | This party is composed of a few honorable | men dazzled by the greatness of the Union, | and of others who, having suffered misâ€" baps at home, would not hesitate to sacriâ€" | fice French Canadian nationality, to satâ€" isiy their personal spleen. _ We only wish to discuss the _ matter with the forâ€"| mer. _ If they desire annexation,â€" it is because they have at heart the good of their country, and because they believe anâ€" nexation would give it an impetus and a prosâ€" perity which it does not possess, They freâ€" quently allego that Canada would be more prosperous if it could be developed by the inâ€" dustry and entprining spirits of the Ameriâ€" cans, We aro willing to admit, for the moment, that Canada will be more wealthy ; but would the Canadians be more contented ? In case of annexation, who would profit by the increase of wealth? It wou‘!d be the Ameriâ€" cansâ€"not the Canadians. We formally deny that Americans alone are capable of planting activity and industry in a country. The few Canadians, who see salvation in the American initiative only, havo a very singular idea of their fellowâ€"countrymen upon whom they bestow the stigma of incapacity. . Why should not the French Canadiansâ€"who, for the last century, have given so many: proofs of energy and vitality and who, without the help of emigration, haye multiplied in such a surâ€" prising mannerâ€"why should they not, we reâ€" peat, find in themselves the strength fordevelâ€" opment which some would have them seck clsewhere? Why should not great progress be anticipated for the future, in view of the progress already realized in the past? Vague assertions are made about the obstacles cast in the way of general prosperity by: the Catholic clergy ; and fault is found with the power of the priests, in the first place this power, if it exist, is purely mo~.! ; and if the Canadians 1 are desirous of combating it, they| have the .wenpons of liberty within their reach, inasâ€" much .as they possess a free press and free specch in their own country, And. in the second place, would annexation at once modiâ€" fy a state of things whichâ€"admitting it to exâ€" istâ€"is in nowise due to tyrannical laws, but owes its origin to moral influence? ‘There is a still higher questionâ€"it is that of nationality, which would be swallowed up forever in the | vast American Union, What has happened to Louisiana, and which was still wholly French thirty years ago? The French element is disapâ€" | pearing daily; a short time ago the question of suppressing the teaching of French in schools was being discussed! Are the French Canaâ€" | dians disposed cheerfully to sacrifice that | which they hold most dearâ€"their customs, their language and their their traditions, and to remounce their glorious past? _ We can | hardly believe it. We can understand that a | few oftheir number envy the prosperity of the | Great Republic ; but we confess that we could have better understood this fecling beâ€" | fore the war. â€" But are we to suppose th&t, at | the present moment, they are possessed with : | such an ardent desire of contributing to the â€"| payment of the expenses incurred in conquerâ€" ing the South? Are they ambitious of being | reckoned among the most heavily taxed perâ€" | sons in the universe? _ Let them rather exâ€" â€"| amine the chief source of the developement of | wealth in the United Statesâ€"we mean emiâ€" gration. â€" Let them enact such laws and take | | such measures as will attract emigrants ; and there is certainly no reason why they nhoPId ‘ | notobtain from emigration the same result as | | their neighbors, ‘ There are peculiarities of cliâ€" | | mate which are somewhat unfavorable to Canaâ€" ‘\ da; but these would not be changed by anâ€" " | nexation, Weare firm believers in the vitality of Lower Canadas. ‘The descendunt of the ‘ | companions of Montcalm have proved, hunâ€" â€" | dreds of times, thit they possess a natural vigor which is far from being exhausted, and § | which is the essential element of a nation. â€" | Those who, from sixty thousand Jless than a Y | century ago, have now reached a millionâ€" â€"| who, under a foreign goyernment, despite the â€" | pressure and the evils inherent on conquestâ€" have known how to preserve their automony, t | are certainly not destined to lose it, or to > | allow themselves to be wrecked in a single h | day.

CoNFZ.NERATIOX _ OP _ BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. Some time between Saturday night and Monâ€" day morning last, the extensive United States bonded warehouse of John B. Hobby, situated at No. 116, Washington street, corner of Carâ€" lisle street, was entered by burglars and robâ€" bed of goods amounting in value to nearly $5,000. ‘The burglary was not discovered unâ€" til the place was opened for business on Monâ€" day morning. Captain Helme, of the Twentyâ€" seventh Precinct, was notified, and repairing to the store proceeded to investigate the affair. It appeared that the burglars passed through the tenement on Carlisle street, adjoining the bonded warchouse, and from the second story window gained the roof of a building on West street, immediately in the rear of the wareâ€" house, which slopes down toward the areaâ€"way in the rear. They then must have lowered themselves into the areaâ€"way, and with a «jimmy" pried open one of the rear baseâ€" ment windows. This â€" gave them _ free access to the store, and they then ascended to the second floor of the building, and by means of the " jimm‘y" forced open seyâ€" eral cases of goods belonging to Christ, Jay & Co., importers, of No. 48, Park place, from which they stole between fifty and sixty pieces of hatters‘ silk goods, valued at nearly $5,000. They also broke open several cases of valuable silk goods, but strange to say not a single picce of the goods in these cases was stolen. The burglars opened the packages of the goods which they determined to carry off, stripped off the covers, which were strewn about the floor, and packing the goods in bags left the place with the plunder the same way as they had enâ€" tered it. 1t is supposed that the goods were taken down to the pier at the foot of Carhisle street, and placed on board a bouinnd thus carried out of the city, Captain Helme is enâ€" deavoring to ferret out the perpetrators of the robbery. Some three months ago the same bonded warehouse was entered by burglars and robbed of‘a large quantity of silk goods, the greater portion of which was subsequently recovered by Captain Helme, but the burglars made their escape. It is stated that the wareâ€" house is ‘nct so secure against burglars as it might be. » A BONDED WAREHUVUSE BROKEXN OPEN AND ROBBELD. Nearly Five Thousand Dollars‘ Worth of Goods Stolen=«The Burglars Escape with their Plunder, The Great Western Railway Company have resolved upon laying a third rail upon their road from Suspension Bridge to Windsor, so as to forward cars through jrom the New York Central to the Michigan Central and other lines having their termini at Detroit, thus avoiding the labor and delay of transhipment at Suspension Bridge and Detroit river. The first of the iron is expected to arrive here in AN INFAMOUS INCENDIARY PLOT FRUSTRATED. Decp=eConcerted Plan to Burn a Tenement» The circumstances of a most villainous incendiary plot have gunt come to our knowlâ€" edge, which, by the honesty and unwillingâ€" ness of an old man o become involved in it, has been effectually frustrated. _ They are as follows:â€"A married man, whose name we, at present, deem proper (to withhold from the public, but who may bc{ called Câ€"â€"â€", 1 ‘ . 1 a t adoruiclst the public, Dut who IMS) ©xERECUE NeR 00 some time since leased a ;"1 not a thousand miles from Dundas street, and built a frame residence thereon, which he furnished in a comfortable style, and occupied. . Affairs went on very smoothly until early in January last, when Câ€"â€"â€", accompanied by his wife, visited the United States, for the ostensible. purpose of working at his trade, which is that of a silverâ€"plater. He had begun to realize that in erecting the houss he had committed a blunder, or, in other words, beâ€" come involved in an unprofitable speculation ; and it was not to be wondered at that he sought to repair his fortunces. This he set about, howâ€" ever, by harboring a design which may be acâ€" counted amongst the most heinous a man ‘can conceive. _ Before leaving for the States he had his property insured to the fullest possible exâ€" tent in the various offices, and looked about him for a likely . person to entertain his propoâ€" gition, and put his vile design into practice. \This design was nothing more or less than to destroy the premises by fire in‘ his absence from the city. He soon became acquainted with one who, he fancied, could be readily bent to his purpores, in the person of an old man. whom we may call Dâ€"â€". This person was without a home, or the means of securing one; and, as might | be: conceived, (â€"â€" deemed him & person who would be likely to contorm to terms he might dictate, or be willing to make any return demanded, in compensation for an obligation conferred. He therefore, after inviting him to his house, thade the following proposition, trusting that by involving Dâ€"â€"â€" equally with himself, if not more deeply, the fullest secresy could be relied on :â€"" Now, Dâ€"â€"â€", understand that 1 am in straiténed circumstances, and desire to raise some money. _ I want your assistance in a scheme I have devised. You doubtless want a house, and as. we intend leaving shortâ€" ly you may occupy this house, which you find furnished with everything that will tend to make you comfortable while you live here. Thero is plenty of wood in the yard, and enough provisions for your ‘wants. All I ask in return is that you will burn down the house before the 1st of March ‘__ We fully comâ€" prehend the position of Dâ€"â€"â€", and can readily surmise that the prospect of securing a comtortable home in the cold depths of winâ€" ter made him feign to accept the terms offered. He was therefore installed with despatch: into his new lodgings, and Câ€"â€" departed on his journey to the United States,. A month or six weeks elapsed, and Dâ€"â€" received a letter from his preceptor," inquiring if the job deâ€" cided upon had been accomplished ? No reply was returned, and a few week afterwards anâ€" other letter of inquiry was forwarded to Dâ€"â€" This he treated in the same manner, and conâ€". tinued in occupancy as before. _ About two weeks ago, becoming. dissatishied. with his agent‘s inâ€"activity, Câ€"â€" despatchéd his wife to London to discover what has transpired . with regard to the arrangements emtered into by her husband with Dâ€"â€"â€". . But the house still remained intact! Sho accordingly inâ€" formed her husband of the state of affairs, and a day or two ago he arrived in this city, and repaired to the house. _ Mecting Dâ€"â€"he commenced an altercation, demanding to know why the Building remained standing after his strict injunction that it should be destroyed ? _ It may easily he conceived that a "scene" ensued of a very draâ€" matic â€" and . excited _ description;. Câ€"â€" upbraided _ D;â€"â€" for his base _ ingrafiâ€" tude towards him; and Dâ€"â€"â€" retorted by taunting Câ€"â€"â€" with his purposed villainy, and with having reckoned without the firmest and most implicit reliance on the concurrence of his host. Recriminations and imprecations followed, with vehemence and intense anger on the one side, and dogged resistance and thrceats on the other. The affair terminated with the ejectment of Dâ€"â€"â€", who is repreâ€" sented to have subsequently divulged the whole matter as we have given it above. As the particulars were related to us by a person of probity and reliability, we are at a loss to understand why some investigation by a legal process has not taken place. In the interests of justice, and for the safety of persuns reâ€" siding in contiguity with the premises of Câ€"â€"â€", a searching inquiry should be forthâ€" with instituted, in order that the wouldâ€"be fiend may be dealt with as his case demands. We shall anxiously look for something of the sort; and, in the meantime, rest satisfied that if the affair really is as it has been represented to us, we have only done our duty in exposing a piece of villainy which, had it come to maâ€" turity, would have resulted as disastrously to several families as beneficially, perhaps, to the party mostly interested. At a special meeting of the Common Counâ€" cil of Rochester, on Saturday evening last, called to take action in relation to the Niagara Falls ship canal project, resolutions were unanimously passed denouncing the scheme, and requesting the members of the Legislaâ€" ture to oppose it.

It is one of those medicines of which we can speakâ€"and speak docisivelyâ€"from experience, for we have repeatedly taken it, and invariably with the best results and the greatest satisfaction. We always hor it on hand, ready for an emergency , and we "i“d t not only as one of the very best and most reliable of medicines in use for various ills, but as one of the cheapest, also, Its cost, by the way â€"that is the cost of all the ingredients of which it is composedâ€"has been considerably increased, but the price of the medicine has been but very little advanced. It is not likely that the popularity of Davis‘ Pain Killer will in any measure decrease, or that the demand for it will in the slightest degree decline, until some other specific for allaying pain and curing the various complaints for which it is so generally used, shall be discovered, of equal potency with itâ€"of which there seoms to be li.&o probabilâ€" ity. _ As a remody for stomach complaints, such as dysentery, diarrhcea, &c., the Pain Killor is withâ€" out doubt unsurpassed, and everywhere most deâ€" servedly in demand. One, two, or throe doses, of a teaspoonful each, in a wine glaes of milk and water, with a little sugar, have repeatedly, within our knowledge, efectually cured serious trouble of this kind.
