Provincial Items, 
The Banking Institutions of Canada West have 
unanimously resolved to adopt the decimal system 
of currency on and after the first of January next. 
Tue Hamilton Banner of the 6th inst., says it is 
3tated that the Provincial Parliament will be pro¬ 
rogued on Wednesday. The discussion of the 
Great Southern Railroad question was postponed 
till this evening, and the Government organ states 
that rumors are ailoat that no further attempt will 
be made to proceed with the bill; but that owing 
to the manifestly hostile feeling of the House, it 
will be withdrawn. 
The question of locating permanently the seat 
of government of the United Provinces of Cana¬ 
da has for some time engaged the attention of the 
Home Government, and the decision ha3 been 
awaited with no little anxiety, it is stated 
on good authority that Ottawa will be, or has been, 
selected. The London Herald publishes this In¬ 
telligence in the following brief but confident 
notice:—°We have received information from a 
source upon which we can place reliance, that the 
Imperial authorities of the Colonial Department 
have decided in favor of Ottawa as the future Seat 
of Government of these Provinces. Toronto, how¬ 
ever, will remain the metropolis for three years. 
The selection of Ottawa has been arrived at for 
the position of the locality. It is intimated that 
the visit of the Governor Genera! may probably 
have had some influence on the decision which the 
Imperial authorities have arrirod at.” 
The Hamilton Banner of the 30th ult. says:— 
“The weather in this district is splendid, and the 
fruit and grain crops, notwithstanding the many 
doleful prophecies respecting them, are in a very 
promising condition, end the crops hid fair to be 
excellent. Fall wheat is looking much better.— 
Farmers are very busy planting potatoes and sow¬ 
ing the different varieties of spring grain. Unless 
some fearful and unforeseen calamity befalls us, 
we have every reason to look forward to a rich 
and bountiful harvest.” The accounts from Can¬ 
ada respecting the crops are generally of a very 
promising character. 
In the Assembly of the Canadian Parliament on 
the 1st inst., the International Bridge Bill passed 
without amendment by a decided vote. The 
amendment of Mr. Cameron, that the act should 
not go into operation until a convention between 
the United States and Great Britain had been held 
consenting to the ereotion of the bridge, was voted 
down—yeas 14, nays 59. The amendment provid¬ 
ing that the Province should be exempt from all 
claims for damages in the event that the Govern¬ 
ments of Great Britain and the United States 
should require the bridge to be removed, was neg¬ 
atived by a vote of 34 to 42. It is understood that 
the bill will pass the other House without opposi¬ 
tion. 
A farmer incautiously set fire to a quantity of 
brushwood upon a piece of land he had oleared, 
near Carlisle, C. W., and the high wind prevailing 
at the time drove the flames upon the houses, barns 
and fenocs in the neighborhood. A complete 
sweep of tho whole little settlement, and the de¬ 
struction of wheat, wagons, fences, fruit and grass 
crops, was the consequence. 
A New Boute from Ocean to Ocean. — Sur¬ 
geon Caldwell, attached to the ship Independence, 
under date of Panama Bay, May 8th, has unof¬ 
ficially advised the Navy Department that he has 
been informed there is a practicable route for a 
ship canal from Gulf San Miguel, Rio Saraua, to 
Rue del Principe, a few miles above which place 
the tide ebbs, thence abont north by east over a 
low ground to Caledonia Bay, or a little north of 
it; that the whole country is low, well wooded and 
watered, abounds in game, and that a small party 
can cross from Saraua to the Atlantic ocean and 
return, making a path or road as they go, in less 
than ten days, without fear of tho Indians or dis¬ 
ease. Dr. Caldwell, having obtained leave of 
Com. Merwln, hastily explored the route, and re¬ 
ports the summit level from Principe to be within 
eight miles of Saraua, and would not prove insur¬ 
mountable to engineering skill in constructing a 
ship canal.

A Model Legislature. —The General Assembly 
of Rhode Island adjourned its Newport session 
last Friday, after a busy existence of four days .— 
It appropriated SI 2,000 for the erection of a stone 
bridge at Pawtucket, and directed the romoval of 
the State Normal School from Providence to Bris¬ 
tol, where gratuitous accommodations were ten¬ 
dered it. Tho Assembly meets in Providence 
again next January, 
A Rich JReport. 
May not the following epistle, received by Pres¬ 
ident BucHANANafew days since, throw a little light 
upon that very dark subject—the short comings of 
our postal arrangements? YVe are inclined to think 
it docs, however; wa will iet the “man the key 
was left with,” tell his own story: 
Crawvoki) County, Mo., April 30,1857. 
Mr. Bucua nan— Dear Sir : Mr.-is the Post¬ 
master at this place, and he Is gone out West, and 
has been gone for three or four weeks, and he has 
no deputy here, hut I have been opening the mails 
and attending to it since he has been gone, as he 
left the key with me, and the Postmaster told me 
that I must make a report at the end of every 
month, and did not tell me who I was to write to, 
but I suppose it is to you we should make our re¬ 
ports, as we are all citizens of the Government of 
which you are now President. If you are not the 
right one to receive the report please drop me a 
few lines, letting me know who I am to report to, 
and I will write again. 
Report at the End of April, —The weather 
is cold for the season—Provisions scarce and very 
high—but notwithstanding all that, we have regu¬ 
lar mails once a week, good health, and the people 
of this country are universally pleased with your 
Administration; this is all I know that wonld in¬ 
terest yo.u; if there is anything omitted in my 
last report, please let mo know. My best respects 
to you and Mrs. Buchanan. 
Kansas News.— Dispatches to the 28th ult. have 
been received from Kansas. Gov. Walker arrived 
in Lecompton on the 27th ult He read his Inau¬ 
gural. It was a long paper, and declares that the 
Territorial Laws shall be enforced. It criticises 
the action of the Free State men, and declares that 
the position taken shall be maintained by the 
whole force of the Government A Convention 
was held at Leoompton to nominate candidates for 
Constitutional Delegate and Surveyor General.— 
Calhoun Jones, of the Union, and a man named 
Bolling—alleged Pro-Slavery—were nominated.— 
Gov. Walker passed through Lawrence and assured 
the people there that everything should be fair. 
Great Blasting.— The London (Eng.,) Times, 
of the 22d ult, says:—“A maguifioent operation 
came off with complete success at twenty minutes 
past noon this day, when, with anaggregaucharge 
of 21,000 pounds of powder, a section of Holyhead 
Mountain, amounting in measurement to 160,000 
tuns of the hardest quartz rock, was dislodged.— 
The most splendid sight was presented on the 
command “Fire!” being given, when a section of 
the mountain upheaved and came over like an av¬ 
alanche, leaving a space of 450 feet in length, 120 
in height and 60 in breadth as a witness to the 
successlul application of powder as a moving 
agent Nearly 10,000 visitors witnessed the ope¬ 
ration.”

The Georgia Prodigy. — The most wonderful 
specimen of the human family ever seen, is now 
on exhibition in our city, at Madame Meyers’, on 
Lafayette street, from the hours of 9 A. M., to 9 
P. M.; admission only fifty cents. His head 
measures three feet in circumference, and weighs 
sixty pounds, while his body is that of a boy of 
five years old; the youth in question being seven¬ 
teen years of age. It is a phenomenon worthy the 
attention of physicians and men of science, and a 
curiosity that will undoubtedly attract large at¬ 
tention. We have seen the sight, and never ex¬ 
pect to look upon its like again .—Baton Rouge 
(La.) Advocate. 
-- - 
From Mexico. —Late papers from the City of 
Mexico have been received. There is no positive 
information tn regard to Gen. Crabb and his filli- 
bustering party, but the probabilities are that the 
fears of their execution will be verified. 
The election in Mexico was progressing, and 
the results, so far as known, were generally favor¬ 
able to the re-election of President Coraoufort.— 
Dates from the City of Mexico are to the 16th of 
May. Heavy rains had fallen, and the inhabitants 
were alarmed at the prospects of an inundation.— 
There had been several robberies on the Puebla 
road.

The African Traveler.— The freedom of the 
City of London was presented to Dr. Livingston 
on the 20th ult., inclosed in a fifty-guinea casket. 
In the course of his response to the address of the 
Chamberlain, he said that he had brought speci¬ 
mens of a flax with him from Africa which, when 
prepared, would be worth *250 to $300 per tun, and 
that he had met with a dozen fruits there which 
were entirely unknown in England. 
---- 
The Y anderbilt.— The new steamer Vanderbilt 
made a very quick passage to England from New 
York, considering it was her first trip. She left 
New Y ork on the 5th ult, and arrived at Cowes on 
the 15th, in tho evening—the time being less than 
ten days. This is the fastest first voyage made by 
any new steamer across the Atlantic. 
---- 
California Coal.— The Sacramento Union at 
last announces that a bed of coal has been dis¬ 
covered within thirty miles of that city, and a 
load has been brought to it, and used with great 
satisfaction. The coal is bituminous; the vein is 
twelve feet thick, and tho bod more than a mile 
wide and several miles long. 
-—- 
Chops in Texas,— New Orleans papers state that 
refreshing rains have visited nearly every part of 
Texas excepting Gonzales and Guadalonpe, where 
tho drouth still prevails. The wheat crops are 
excellent, and the other crops promise an abun¬ 
dant harvest. 
---—_ 
Winter in the Lav of Summer.— There were 
on the first day of June, masses of frozen spray 
and snow, fifty feet in solid thickness, under the 
American side of the Falls at Niagara. A heavy 
rock thrown upon them makes uo more impression 
than upon hard ice. 
- — - 
Emigration.— Daring the month of May, 71 
emigrant, vessels arrived at New York, bringing 
over 2:,848 passengers—or nearly 900 for every 
day in tho month. This is the largest number of 
arrivals during any one month for the last three 
years. 
Indian Difficulties.—A Letter from St Paul, 
Minn., May 30th, to the N. Y. Post, says:—“ Orders 
have just been received from Washington for six 
companies of the 10th Infantry, under the com¬ 
mand of Brevet Col. Tamby, to proceed forthwith 
against the lower band of Dacotab and Sioux In¬ 
dians, at Spirit Lakes, and the Des Moines settle¬ 
ment; also against the Jacqueous River Indians, 
who are suspected of being concerned in the re¬ 
cent outrages.”
