giving by it #1.500.000 to the Slu e's a?vurttv,

91,000,000 also to that security. In other
words, the advance of #100,000, of a'ock, by
the State, will enable the Company to ad I
theae two roads unincumbered to the security
of the Stnte. This additional securi
ty cannot be estimated as worth less than
#2,500,000, and is estimated by some to
be worth #3,000,000.

t
ious ascertainment of t?ro lines, ond the ^
mint of coincidence between thcui would, ,
hen established, bo the point whero the
4orth-west Angle would he, and that where
ho Treaty directs the boundary to begin.
Jut since neither of those two lines hove
rot been ascertained, and the point of d?*psrure
of only one of them agreed upon, it is
ivident that tho North west Angle of Novia *
Scotia, which is to be an eflcct or result pro'ceding
from cuuses, the inherent power
>f which we are yet ignorant of, is at'this
noment n nonentity, and must remain so
mill tho precise direction of the two lines
}i fore spoken of is mutually agreed upon,
and established. This a sufficient reason
why i.ll attenfpts to bring the dispute to a
Itnppy termination hitherto have failed, tho
words of the Tieaty directing us to begin
ut tho end, instead of the beginning und to
pursue the enquiries from the unknown to
th?- known.
Gentlemen, I do not wish to concetd from
you who are so much interested in tho init- H
ter, that tho investigations in which I have
been of lute engaged, hare produced results
which ought to influenco Governments thot
desiie no territorial acquisitions ut tho exponso
of justice and the reference duo to
Treaties, as I ?m persuaded is the ca*o ^
with tho two Governments now ncgociating
on this important suhjoct. The defectivo
information it is hoped and )>uhcved can ho
supplied. I say this mucJi bccnuso the rumor
is being busy about tno declared intention
of the State of Maine to proceed in taking
possession of the whole territory in dispute,
without awaiting the peaceful proceedings
now in progress betwixt the Federal
Government und that of Her Majesty. 1
do not believe in those rumors- The Stole
of Maine sets too high a value upon the
pea 'o now happily subsisting between two
countries, and will, I have no doubt, await sw
die consti utionnl action of their National
Government."
Tito nmou.it of nil tins is, unless both
Jovoi nmcnts agree to compromise, by
spin tngtiie diUerenco,"they arc as far fiom
a ns ever. And if so, they will
us usual quarrel for n million till they spend
fifty in Dions, nnd then (aid as they begun.

TMK SI'O.NCR FISHRRV.
When at the Island of Khodes, I went
to die sponge fishery, which is curious und
interesting. It is a laborious nnd danger- Ak

or six successful day sufTird those engaged
in it the m wis of support for an entire year.
The sponge is attached to rocks at dtr bottom

of a small crustaceous animals, which
occupy its Cav ti s. The fislierinen dive *
