An unbroken railway communication is now open from the Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky Mountains, a distance of more thai 2000 miles. The line passes over the Mississippi and Missouri rivers on bridges : — at Rock Island on the former, and 1 at, Omaha i on the latter — so that, if necessary, the entire journey can be performed in railway carriages. Immigbation. — We learn from the New Zealand Herald that great interest is taken in the. colonisation of New Zealand by settlers in Canada West. The reasons for this are many — such as the extreme vicissitudes, of heat and cold, the prevalence of sickness, incompatibility of American and English habits, and other minor causes. The following is taken from a letter laid on *the table of the Auckland Provincial Coimcil, by the Provincial Secretary: — '• The news that we have lately received from Ifew Zealand — particularly from Auckland-r-Jias not been at all encouraging, still we frequently hear of parties going, there from this part of the woi'ld. Mr.- — -informed me of a person from the . mountains, . a saw-mill owner, who has gone. I heard of an old gentleman, a member of the legislature, who is off to inspect how he may settle his family there. He has considerable means — has been a farmer, distiller, saw-mill proprietor, and storekeeper. When he returns and makes his. report, I hope to hear the verdict. Hew Zealand, as my ultimate home, and that of my children, is my constant theme, for I cannot think otherwise than that it will.some day be a great country. At the same time, it is my present opinion that there is not now much energy being put forth in the development of its resources. But when your 200,000 , white population gets to be two or three times that number, Fetter results may be expected. I would like to hear more of the climate and capabilities of . the Bay of Islands district — whether., there it, is too hot in summer, whether it , can produce coffee, oranges, . olives;. and. whether it is as healthy as ; farther south. The resources of British K"orth America maybe considerable, but : r Yankee annoyances : and severe winters are great.drawbacks."
