GREAT PROSPERITY OF TUB i ' " CANA1AS. , ' j But few of our readers are aware off the very remarkable progress that has been made in the' great country jlying North of the- United States and'Torming a part of the vast British Empire, about which the greatest orator of New England, and one of jthe greatest of Americans has spoken irj such f elicitous and eloquent terms. Said Daniel Webster, yery finely, as (he remembered tho reveille he heard once at Quebec, in one of his grand o cations, in referring to the great ness of England, whose power cir cled the earth, that it "has dotted the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military 'posts ; whose morning drum-beat, following the sun and keeping company 'with the hours, circles the earth; with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs' of England." We confess that the growth of- what is now known as the 'New Dominion" has been a surprise to U3. " We had not studied the statistics with . care enough or else we would not have remained ; ignorant of the fact that although orir own- county has grown with such rapidity the progress has not been equal to that of the Queen's "Dominion.'.' In 1790 the popula tion of the United States was 4,000, 000. In 1880 it was 50,000,000 an increase of .12 times in ninety years. In- 1790 the population of British Nbrth America was 250,000 j in 1880 it was 4,500,000 an increase of 18 times in less than a century. The prospect is that it will continue to grow with very great rapidity since the vast western section . is being opened jip, and there are the best of reasons for expecting unusual devel opments in the next decade. - g l There is no probability that Cankktive CouriciL These Provincial bod dtt will be united to the American Republic within a century, if at all. There is some prospect that before a quarter of a century the Canadian people will be resolving to set up for themselves. There is some indica tion now of 1 a growing .spirit of), independence, but there are but few Canadians who desire an union with this country. . Blackwood says that towards the end of the : century thp Dominion will have some:io,000, 000 of people and that then "Cana dians may aspire to a higher position among communities" That is to say, they may ask for their inde pendence. It is safe to say, that the sentiment of nationality is deepen ing, and a . great Power will yet flourish in the regions north of our own vast country. ' - iLet us glance briefly at a feW of tb.e most impressive facts connected with the Dominion, as we - gather them from a long discussion in Black wood. First, then, look at the ship- Dins ,ot - the Dominion. It is the onrth maritime State of the world.) It has between seven and . eight thousand vessels, having a" tonnage! of over 1,300,000 tons, valued at $6, 000,000.' . The - United 1 States with their vast population, have but one million tons moreV The marine' ack tiyity is on, the increase in ; the Can actas. "They are greatly outstripping their . American neighbors," says Blackwood, "asf a'ship-owning, ship sailing people."' It thinks ' that the time is coming when' this Dominion will "ob tain the raaritine supremacy In the waters of the .Western, hemi phere." - That will:be owing toj the distructiye policy 'of the i Republican party. Since 1 860, .the sh.pping'of the ,United,States has declined, and "will continue to' decline. By'the end of the century there will be more than 00 millions of "people: in the? United -States; und if the1' Canadians are allowed to become : supreme - on the . waters it will bo the fault.. of our Government : -' '' . 4-Tlift growth of manufactures in the Dominion has been satisfactory to , those concerned. Blackwood, a Tory ' e,xPonent ' and not - in favor of '-the principle of free .tradeadmits that if there was free trade between Canada and the, United States :ttiat the result ' ''would be practically to make Cana da one of the States themselves.' It ays that owing: to the high tariff of this country .the Dominion ,1s driven .to the necessity of having "protection in a modified, form." . It thinks there would be a I change Z if the t ariff of the United States was, to be adjusted to one rof revenue. But there is considerable development of manufactures and the annual value of exporte and imports is 45 million Pounds7 sterling thus : outstripping Sweden, Norway and Brazil. - The Dominion has a -large debt created in developing the country, but it is wise enough to, leave, jt . to. be .paid .by those who shall enjoy' tlie full benefit of tho" enterprise and pluck of the present , generation. Thirty years ago there werelmt forty miles of railroad in the whole coun try Now there are; 8,000 miles com pleted, witll 2,500 in the course of erection. " It has double what. Nor way and Sweden have; two thousand more miles than Italy has, and half as much as France has. In a few years the Pacific Railway will be ; an ac complished tact when there will be a .continuous fine from Halifax, Nova Scotia, toth Pacific Ocean. . ; The i Northwest is a vast region,' more than rivalling' Jn; extent and jbductiyeness the great Northwest of out own Icountryf It makes bet ter wheat and roots than Iowa or Iili- nois.: It hasjas good an , educational system as England has. In ; 1840 there were educational facilities but for one in fifteen of the children; at jresent the fpropltioiii is about the same as it is in Massachusetts.. They have various kinds of societies for the promotion" of art, literature and science. rTbjem are one or two other points that ought not to be overlook ed in even a hurried survey like this, but we must reserve them for a brief article. supplemental r-- : j : THE iGOTEBNBlENT OF THE IKH I MINION. The Government of the Dominion of : Canada! differs somewhat from that of England and from our own. Therejis a CentraL Government, and there is a Government of the Provr incesj Tht Central Government has a great dell more of power 5 than our General ; Government has, whilst the Provinces pave less power than pur' States.! iTfhe Central Government can disalfow the acts of Provincial .Legislatures, for instance. The Sov ereign is! represented by the Governor-General. Each Province has a Lieutenant-Governor, a Legislature or one orxwo Houses, and an Execu- ies have aright to legislate concern ing education, local work, and mat ters of a municipal or provincial cha racter strictly. " The Dominion Par liament is Lot supreme. Its acts can be disallowed by the Central Gov ernment. Trade, commerce reve nues, 'postal affairs, militia, fcc, are all in the Hands of the Central Gov ernment. There is a Sn nrorn a flnn rt as in pur cdnntry. Tbe Governor-General is advised by a Privy Council. responsibia to and dependent on the support of I a majority in the House of ,CommosV The Civil Service is composed f a permanent body of officials, he Judiciary is appointed by the Crown, but a member can be removed upon an address of itbe two1 Houses of Parliaments The system is mainly British, but modified to meet the changefd conditions of the Do minion. ' I has a permanent Execu tive, a Ministry directly' responsible to Parliam ;nt, a non-political body of public sen ants and an independent Judiciary. ' . ; ; ; 1 ; ., '' A The Dominion as yet has not much; literature of its own: ' THe'Canadians,' however, aro intensely. British and do' not read much of American writers.' There is much talk among them of imperial federation and but little of annexation j to the - United v States. We have thought it well to enable; our readers', to understand -more of the progrfesa, institutions Sttdjgovern ment'of aj country, lying North of' us that is destined to become great and flourishinlg.'

"We note with great pleasure the improve "ments now, being made by the Seaside Park Improvement Company, of "Wrights ville Sound, at their pleasant resort, and have gathered" from its President the fol lowing information, which . will be of in terest to our readers: The property has been leased by Mr. B. L. Perry, qt the Purcell House, this city, with" the privilege of the Company having the 'right at all. times to sell or rent lots for private use, and they hope to Induce outsiders to build cottages and -use the hotel in connection with the same. This will do away with all the disadvantages of keeping house on the Sound, and at the same time Allow one all the privacy which he could have at his own home. Parties of - high standing in our State have been corresponded with; and' it is hoped that before the summer fairly sets in we will have in our midst gentlemen with their families, who own cottages on the' Sound, and have a common interest With our own people in the Seaside. Two thousand dollars is now being judiciously spent in beautifying the place, anabuild ing additional accommodations. Two hacks will be run daily to the Sound, one in the morning 1 and the other at night: This will no doubt add wonderfully to the convenience f our friends who can! only be absent from-the " city " during the day.: We are gratified that the "Company have commenced in earnest to. make the Sound a resort of some note in North Carolina and we predict for them: a most prosperous future."' Our best wishes attend them. ReUered Of HI Collections. w ' A ! friend r WriUng us from Rose Hill, J)upUn county, says what may be termed a daring robbery.: occurred in that little vil-i lage on Monday; night, f Mr. I. T.

Upon arising Tuesday morning he found that the trunk had been removed to his sitting-room, arid that the money ($63) was gone. There are grounds for the belief that the burglar was looking through a window ' in the room when Tlr.; Carr placed the 'money in the trunk, and that he entered , through the door, which was thoughtlessly left open on tbe night in- question.- - ' ' - - InTall nobbery.
