darine to call things by their right names , This plain speaking finds an echo in the hearts of the great bulk of the Austrian nation . The report that Austria has recently addressed a note to the Sardinian Government , requesting it to state why such great armaments are being made , deserves no credit . The story of the march of some thousands of Croats to Italy is also an idle invention , for Austria has already quite as many troops in , the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom as are considered requisite . We learn from Milan that a medal , bearing the motto " Emmanuel , King of Italy , " is being secretly distributed . The most absurd rumours are in circulation . One of the current stories is that Russia having demanded 200 millions from Austria for the expenses of the war in Hungary in 1849 , Austria , having no other means of payment , proposed to sell Lombardy to Piedmont .

Lord Bujiy At Toronto. On The 13th Of No...
LORD BUJiY AT TORONTO . On the 13 th of November Viscount Bury , M . P ., wns entertained at a complimentary dinner in the Rossinhouse , Toronto . Upwards of a hundred gontleipen snt down . The Mayor , Mr . Reed , occupied tho chair , having the guest of the evening , Lord Bury , on his right , and Sir Allan N . Macnob , Bart ., on his left . After assuring the assembly that politics had nothing whatever to do with his visit to Canada , Lord Bury said : — " I must say that tho progress of Canada , which I thought I fully understood when I was here before , struck me afresh on my return to this country , I confess I look upon tho rapid growth of your towns and tho development of your institutions with as much astonishment as ever .
The condition of your social position is progress , and you want three things : more rapid means of communication to every part of your country ; the bono and sinew which shall make these moans of transport vnlunhlu —you want nn organised system of emigration ; lastly , you want some means of annihilating , as far ns practicable , tho distance between this country nnd tho mother country . With regard to tho providing quick communication , I hnvo become connected with several undertakings which have that groat object in view . First , with a company which is to shorten the steamboat journey across the sea from ono continont to tho other ; and it was my good fortune when in St . John ' s ,
Newfoundland , to sign a contract on behalf of that company for tho mails to bo carriod between Newfoundland and Gnlwny . As the Atlantic telegraph is not yet an accomplished fact , I think those stoamers nro tho next bo & t thing . Their terminus in at present placed in Now York , but I havo powers from tho directors to endeavour to cnliHt tho Bympathioa of Canada in tho project , mid if wo puc cood In so enlisting the sympathies of Canada wo nro proporod to bring u weekly lino to Qucbuo . Arrived on tho slioroa of tho New World , 1 hope to soo provision mado for a communication with tho interior , iukI Unit n railway will bo constructed between Halifax and Quebec . 1 am the boaror pf full powers to treat and to conclude
with Canada and the other provinces the term * " " which this railroad can . be carried out . It seem ! + POn that this is a project which is very important to r »« ?* ' inasmuch as access to the seaboard through Tt W territory can never be matter Of indifference eitW * Canada or to the mother country . A railroad on reasonable terms will be offered you , and if accented ™* 7 will in a very short time see a railroad from here t / tT Atlantic . I think it is impossible for any man to 1 if with prophetic eyes on theWp and on the physical US
natural features of the country without seeing thatCn a must eventually become the great carrying power of ? h world . We have heard the theory advanced that th ! colonies should be represented in the Imperial Parliame f There is a mode of representation which would not I open to objection ; it is that gentlemen from th ! colonies who have rendered themselves conspicuouq among their fellow-citizen . ' , in politics and . other wavs should have conferred upon them life peerages ' which would make them members of the British Parliament
