The i treaty between the U. S. and
Great Britain, of thc 5th of June, 1854,
which Went into effective operation in
1S55, put an end to causes of irritation
between the two countries, by securing
to the U. S. the right of fishery on the
coast cf the British North American
provinces, with advantages equal to those,
enjoyed by Britisli suhjcCls. Besides
the signal be;,ents of this treaty to a
iige class ot our citizens engaged in a
pursuitconnected to no inconsiderable
degree with our national prosperity and
strength, it has had a favorable effect
upon other interests in the provision it

pliant as sponge. Your force would have
no more effect against us than an ejrgT would

You want to coax us to
come to terms; we refuse,. We mean to
fight you and expel you from your locali
ties. If you don't stand and fight us, we
will consider you no belter than so many
brutes ; and as such we will harness you to

to go and buy lots of flour and paint your

ces should be added. I have known a

posed of nothing but pure clay brought
into a very favorable and fertile condi
tion by the application of a thick cover

a case is reported in which a clay soil
was1 greatly meliorated by; the addition
of a coating of about two inches of well
dried and pulverized muck ; and trials
have been made tvith signal success, with

The Triumphs oTCi vJl Engineering-.
FROM THE BOSTON ATLAS OF DECEMBER 2.
Perhaps none of the higher mathematical
sciences has been productive of more bene
fit to the world than that comprised in the
department of Civil Engineering. It is not
an abstract science, but practical instead.
It has everything to do with the progress of
society. It is humanizing and elevating.
It digs the water-course, and deepens the
channel, that no barrier may prevent the
progress of humanity. It builds the iron
way, cuts down the hill, and fills the valley, j rai - .s Hc is now thc general man
that man may pass along a smooth and lev- , r. , rrrnnlr nnil wc learn lhat
j el way to that higher destiny, undreamed ;
of bv the ancients and unheard of in all thc
. , - r , , , I
past. It is the foe of despotism, but the
K . - T ., f. . , t
friend of man. It annihilates time and
i
space, and crowds the years-that were, wont
to roll slowly by into fleeting moments.
Ijs missiDn is onQ of peace, leading man to
i the Almennial. to the years of repose. It
j does not indulge in the chihrs play ot its
by learning how to destroy humanity, how j
to blow up cities, how to spread desolation
in the shortest possible time; but it sur
veys the whole land, marches through the
forest, spans rivers, winds along thc moun
tain heights or dives beneath the sea, that
man may enjoy me in. us lunnebs. i ins is
' its mission.
! CiviI engineering, as a science, has been
j wonderfully . developed during the last quar-
i tep of a century. Its triumphs before that
i period were considered wonderful.as indeed

I umphs of modern science stand 'preeminent;
i We were Ird to these reflections while
i 'viewing the greatest of all modi rn structnrfs
now rising above the rushing waters of the
St. .-.Lawrence--the Victoria Urislrn at .Mon
treal. A mere description of the work can
convey no adequate idea of its valines.
It was commenced in 1834, and is under
contract to be completed iu 1860, at an es
timated. COi4 of between $6,000,000 ami
$7,000,000. The bridge itself will be screr?
; thousand feet in length, or nearly a mile-
. ,m,r. . luHu.lin; .he .pproacbe..
, it will be ten thousand two hundred and
eightv-four feet, or -nearly two miles in
i 'i m i . "
-length. There will be twenty-eix piers ot
I i-1 . .i
j 8l,hd masonry supporting the iron upcr-
structure of the bridge: The centre will
I sPa 339 the other spans each 2-12
j feet wide. The height of the centre of the
bridge is to be sixty feet above the water
level. The weight of iron in the tubes will
1 be 8,000 tons, and the contents of the ma-
j sonary 30,000,000 cubic feet.
It is in all respets tar in advance ot any
structure in the world, and, when comple
ted, will.be the frowning work of modern
civil engineering.
What is the design - of the work? It is
simply that that portion of Canada lying
beyond the St. Lawrence shall have an un
broken communication with tide-water at
all seasons of the year. It may seem to
those who view thc interest upon the outlay
that it is not worth the while, or inr other
words that it will not pay,' to bridge the St.
Lawrence at such a cost. Such a view i
undoubtedly correct, so far as immediate re
turns are concerned ; but the policy of
Canada in its railway enterprises is far
reaching. It' contemplates' the future de
velopment of the Provinces rather than o
much immediate per rent, on the invest
ment ; it expects but little from the present,
but waits patiently for the future. In this
we believe it will not be disappointed. Tho
Canadians are wiser than ourselves in this
respecU Their railway lines are not com
peting or conflicting. With us railwaysvsre
extended in every conceivable direction.
There has been no unity of plan, no fore
cast, save to get ahead of all other lines.-
But not so in Canada. The Grand Trunk
is like a tree its roots sprouting from the
Atlantic, at Portland and. at the Golf of St
Lawrence, and its branches spreading to
the Lakes, all united in a harmonious whole.
The plan has been nobly conceived an&.
successfully consumated. We learn that it
is in the main the growth of one master
mind. To Mr. S. P. Bidder, an English
gentleman, a compeer ol Stephenson, th
engineer of the Victoria Bridge, is raort
credit due probably than to any other man.
He has brought great practical executive a.
bility ami a lifelong experience to the cn
terprise experience received in the man
