THE PANAMA ROUTE.

The Sydney Morning Herald thus speaks of the proposition by New Zealand to open up tho Panama route : —

Among the effects likely to result from the unexpected expansion of this colony, the establishment of the Panama route seems not the least probable. If a considerable popu lation shall settle there, particularly one coustituted of diggers and traders, the question of steura communication will rise into engrossing importance. An agricultural or pastoral colony require no such accelerated intercourse, but we have already seen that a gold colony is the hotbed of projects which ripen in a few months, and which in other circumstances could only be the growth of many years. The writers on the spot are- of course full of those anticipations which such a sudden spring in the piogress of the colony is calculated to suggest. Dunedin, according to them is to be the capital of the " Great Britain of the South," and the rival of Melbourne,— for Sydney is too obscure to suggest such a comparison !
