Vol. I. YALE, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1866. no. i VICTORIA CORRESPONDENCE OP THE " TRIBUNE." Victoria, 6th April, 18G6. BUSINESS. Business in tins city has not been so dull at this time of year since 1858 as it is at present, however every one seems inspired with hope in tlie future. Only let Big Bend turn out half ns good as reported and there will be a revival iu tho trade of this place that will raise tho drooping spirits of property hold' ors and stop the grumbling of merchants and traders. There is no doubt that the terrible financial crisis from which the mercantile community here are now emerging will have a salutary effect in the future in preventing reckless trading and placing on a firmer and more {satisfactory basis the business of both colonics. Had trading in the mining districts in these colonies been carried on upon the principle adopted in Idaho and tho other mining territories in tho neighboring republic there would have been no depression now in business circles amongst us. The principle to which I refer is that of short credits. I am informed by a member of one of the leading wholesale firms in Idaho that credit in the minos there and in Montana is never given for a longer period than a week. If the miner cannot foot up his bill on Sunday—the settling day—his account is closed and no more credit is given him. If the same system had been carried out in the mines of British Columbia, neither the merchants of that colony, nor of this, would now be in difficulties. Men get wisdom by experience; and I am confident the lesson that' has been learned by our merchants will not bo without a good effect in the future. A great many blame tlie bank for much of the trouble that has come upon us. There is, no doubt, much truth in this; for the facilities which traders had of getting advances on goods they had not paid for, led to reckless trading in the mines; but the great evil, iu my opinion, was the unlimited and indiscriminate credit given by merchants in the various mining districts. Iriatflh,d of th» miner being the prospector of a claim, the merchant was tho party who ran all the risk, without having the chance of winning the prise when it did turn up. Unless such a system be abandoned in future, and " specie payments" take the place of "promises to pay," there can be no progress or prosperity in these colonies. POLITICS. The House of Assembly has not had much to do lately, and the only noteworthy incident iu connection with that body is the defection of several members of tho "Club" from the McClure ranks, by which the radical junior member for tho city is now in the minority— being only ablo to count DeOosmos and Dr. Dickson among his disciples. The "little brief authority" with which the " Head Centre" was clothed made him arrogant and presumptuous to his followers, which led to the disruption that has occurred. I cannot help thinking it is a fortunate circumstance for Victoria that McClureism is to bo ignored, for if Union is to be made acceptable to the people of British Columbia, the less such politicians as the junior member h.iTe to do with the affairs of the country the better. There is no question that the return of McClure for the city was one of those accidents which will occur in any country at a time of intense political excitement. That the citizens of Victoria would have returned a man of his political antecedents in a moment of calmness and reason is utterly impossible His conduct in attempting to palm himself off in London as the delegate of Vancouver Island and his labors thoro to have thi* colonics placed under separato Governors, as well ns his infamous calumnies against the administration of the late Governor to get him removed, were not, and never will be, forgotton by tho electors of Victoria. But tho cry for protection, ond the difficulty at the time to get a proper collcaguo for DcCosmos left no alternative but to accept the bogus delegate as tho representative of protectionism. It was a bitter pill to swallow for many who espoused the cause of protection at tho time; but I am persuaded that there arc few who voted for him who do not now bitterly lament their having done so. It hits been a matter of sincere regret to nearly every one to see such men ns DcCosmos, Trimble, Dickson and others following the lead of McClure in the present session, by which he had a majority to carry every radical whim which he laid before them. It is, however, a sign of returning consciousness to find his followers falling off by degrees until ho can only count upon DeCosmos and Dickson to answer to his "whip." .That these men will long respond to his call I do not believe. If they havo any respect for themselves, or feel any real interest in the country, ■ they will soon leave their " leader" to lead himself into the obscurity from which he was never fitted to emerge. DcCosmos and Dickson havo not much real sympathy with the radical views of tho so- called delegate, and one can scarcely reconcile thc#position which the latter—who is the author of the petition to the Home Government,.oji the retirement of Governor Douglas, not two years ago—now holds in tho House to tho junior member for the city. I have been told by ireveral influential men from British Columbia that one of their greatest objections to a union of the colonios is the fear that such politicians as McClure would havo control over public affairs when union would be consummated. I would hope that when the people of British Columbia find how fast power i3 falling from the hands of the politicians, and the upPkelihood of McClure ever again receiving > .tf* suffrage of a majority of the electors of any constituency in Vancouver Island they will cease to havo any apprehensions of having the infliction of his presence as a representative amongst them. DIRECT STEAM COMMUNICATION. Nothing can be worse than the arrangements respecting the sailing of the direct steamers between San Francisco and these colonies. The fact is, we aro worse off now than before the subsidy was granted by the respective colonies. In six weeks wc will only have two steamers, and that in the season of the year when there should be one steamer a week. It was an unfortunate e'reumstance that both the steam companies were not bound to time; and no break in the trips should have been allowed. It would have been an easy matter to have put on another steamer while the Laboucherc was laid up for repairs. Had this been done, by this time we would have hau a largo immigration. The bad arrangements made will seriously injure our prospects, more especially as there is such a keon opposition to Portland and such cheap fares to that placo. Wc are always behind. Pity that it is so now when everything had begun to] look bright for us. British Columbia Tribune. WEEKLY PAPER. OFFICE—YALK. GEORGE WALLACE, Proprietor & Editor.

[Fram the BritiBh Columbian.] New York, April 2.—The stoamer City of Faris from Liverpool, March 21st, via Queens town 22d, arrived this morning. In tho House of Commons, Earl Grosvcnor gave notic'r that on the second reading of the Reform Bill he would make an amendment declaring it inexpedient to discuss the bill until the House has before it the entire reform scheme contemplated by the Government. Sir Hight also gave notice of an amendment to prevent the Bill taking effect till provision shall be made for a redistribution of Beats The Times says Lord Stanley will second Grosvcnor's amendment. He predicts that it will reccivo independent support, and hopes it is not too late for the Government to bring forward a better Bill. The Morning PoBt believes an amendment to the Bill will prove a death blow to the ministry. The News and Star regard it as an insidious movement, nothing but opposition to reform, and say the Conservatives dare not move a direct negative to the measure. The Corps Legislatif, after rejoining another proposed amendment relative to the press laws, finally odopted the entire address. Nkw Yokk, April 2.—German advices continue to represent the relations of Austria and Frussia as very threatening. It is even assorted that Austria had ordered the assembling of 100,000 troops on the Bohemian frontier, and that she has sent a circular note to European Powers disclaiming any responsibility for the consequences of any conflict which may arise. The London Times directs attention to the critical state of affairs in Germany, and says Bismarck has drawn off his mask and the Duchies are to bo annexed to Paussia.

THE "TRIBUNE. provo the soundness of our opinion, and that instead of there being only two or three thousand men in the country, like last year— with the Gold Tax in operation—there will bo more than ten thousand activo miners spread over the country before the fall. It is our determination to devote all our energies this season to tho collection of accurate mining intelligence in the new mines for publication in the Tribune, believing that it is only by means of the diffusion of correct information concerning thorn that we may hope to sue- ceed in attracting population to our borders and thereby insuring the prosperity of the country. In furtherance of this purpose it is our inten- tion to proceed at an early-date-to Dig Bend, In presenting tho first number of this journal to the public, it will be unnecessary for us to cntor into any elaborate exposition of our views regarding tho many important questions which agitato men's minds in this country. It is now twelve months sinco we first became connected with the press of this colony,, and during that time we have taken part in the discussion of every political topic interesting to the people or that had any bearing upon the material interests of tho community. When launching our first newspaper enterprise in the- colony wo laid down in unmistakable language the principles which wc wore determined to support. Sinco thon we have not changed one singlo article of our political creed. It is with unalloyed satisfaction that wo find nearly every measure of public policy which wa advocatod in the first number of the Cariboo Sentinel either adopted by the country, or in immediate prospeot of being carried into' effect by tho Imperial Government. Union of these colonies, of which wo have been a strenuous advocate, has now been decided upon by the home authorities* and probably before another year will clapso a law will bo passod by the Imperial Parliament to effoct this object. Until tho principles of tho measure with which Her Majesty's Government is charged arc made known to us, it would be premature on our l>art 10 UHUl" O"^ vwu" fstwuiia 1*13 wv it,D ucvailB, but wo may state in passing, that unless some real power over tho finances of the country is placed- in the hands of the people through representatives elected on n, proper franchise, there will be' neither satisfaction nor eontentment in this portion of the British empire. The repeal of the Gold Export Tax was a wiso and proper concession to " the well understood wishes of the eommunity," and will tend to promote the development of the resources of the country by restoring among the mining class that confidence in the justico and equity of the Government of this colony, which had been forfeited by tho imposition of a tax that pressed so- heavily upon the "bone and sinew" «f the country. The measure passed in the late session of the Legislative Council to tax all classes of miners aliko will compel the Chinese throughout the colony to bear their fair portion of the burdens of tho country. With respect to the abolition of tho road tolls, another of the measures which we advocated, we hope that the present year is tho last they will be permitted to act as a barrior to the progress of the colony. In the meantime wo highly approve of the ootirso which tho Executive has adopted in easing the trade to our new mines by removing tho toll-gate from Lytton City to the Junction. Retrenchment hi the public service wo do not look for until Union is effected and the peoplo havo power placed in their own hands to deal with the question in a satisfac' tory manner. We hope the timo is not far distant whon tho taxation of this country will not bo ono half what it is at present, and ■when the burdens that now weigh down the commerce and industries of the land will bo removed, that thero may be no obstacles in tho way »f the country's development and progress. The discovery of the new mining region of Big Bend will undoubtedly again induce a large population to como amongst us. It will be the bounden duty of tho Government to do all in its power to retain those who come, as it is only by the presence of a vast population that tho riches of so extensive a country as this is can be developed. It is our opinion, based on information derived from cxporiencod minors who have traversed in pursuit of mineral wealth over all the territories of the United States on the Pacific coast, that British Columbia equals, not surpasses, nny end country. We from which place we will communicate regularly with tho Tribune, making use, when nocessary, of tho telegraph, which is com- ploted to Cache Creek, tho nearest point to the mines. Wo noed scarcely say that our present enterprise will involve heavy expense upon us. Considering the objocts we havo in view, and the signal advantage that must accrue to the country by our undertaking properly carried out, do we nsk too much from the business peoplo of both theso colonies, when we say: strengthen our hands by giving to the Tribune a cordial and substantial support ? Official Changes.—We learn on good authority that P. O'Reilly, Esq., has resigned tho office of High Sheriff of the colony. This will afford tho Government the opportunity of dividing the colony into counties and appointing a responsible man resident in each district to tho office of High Sheriff. Heretofore the public havo suffered great inconvenience, and in many cases considerable loss, by there boing only one High Sheriff for the Colony. Cariboo the whole of last summer was without a Sheriff in consequence of the difficulty of communicating with Mr. O'Reilly at Kootenay. The practice of appointing Deputy Sheriffs to do the duty on half feet is open to the greatest objection. The amount which the deputies make out of tho offico is so small that respectable men will not give their time and attention to the proper performance of tho dutios. Besides, it is unjust to require a man to perform duties often disagreeable and hazardous, and when he has dono so to havo to hand over half his legiti- part of tho colony who is paid besides a salary for doing nothing. Tho time has como when retrenchment must be the order of the day and sinecures must be abolished. The duties of High Sheriff could be performed in each district by tho Chief Constable of Police and the full fees should be given him for his remuneration. The $1000 voted by the Legislature could therefore be saved to the colony and tho duties of Sheriff more efficiently performed than heretofore. We hopo the Officer administering the Government will show by his acts in reference to this matter that his profession of economy in the public service is no empty boast. The tax-payers of the col ony will watch with keen interest the course the Government will take in reference to tho filling up of the vacancy made by Mr. O'Reilly's resignation. We sincerely hope that the action taken will be such as to inspire the community with confidence in the intentions of the Government to aot for the benefit of the country, regardless of any claims which their political followers may have upon their consideration. The Lakes.—It will be seen by an article which we copy from the Victoria Chronicle that Mr. Jerome Harper is endeavoring to get a trail out by the Government, at an expense of several thousand dollars, along Shuswap Lake for the purpose of taking in his cattle from Kamloops to Big Bend. We do not behove that the Government will consent to expend tho public money for any such purpose. If a trail is made for Mr. Harper's accommodation, every speculator in the country will bo applying to tho Executive to have a road made for his especial uso. Tho Government have already euoouraged, in fact induced, the building of a steamer on the lakes to meet tho traffic to the mines. If a road were built for Mr. Harper at the cost of the public, tho Government would bo acting in bad faith with those who have expended a largo sum in an. enterprise that was undertaken to benefit the country. The Chroniclo has been misled as to the time the steamer Marten will be running. If the work be only carried out with the vigor with which it has been pursued up to the present time—and wc have no doubt Latest Telegraphic Dispatches. [SPECIAL niSPATCHES TO THE TRIBUNE.] ENGLISH NEWS. In the House of Commons, on tho 21st March, the Bill abolishing certain restrictions on dissenters at Oxford University was debated, and carriod to a second reading by a large majority. The Daily News regards this discussion as the best criterion yet presented of the strength of parties in the new Parliament.

Telegraphic News from the Interior of British Columbia. [srKCUI, BISriTCBKS TO THE TRIBFHI.) LATER FROM OARIBOO. Qdmhilhocth, April 10th.—Mr. Shaw, who has just arrived from Williams Croek, states that there is some excitement there on account of a rich strike lately made on Grouso Creek. It appears Mr. Peter McArthur, a well known Caribooite, in company with some others, have been engaged during the winter in prospecting an abandoned claim on the above creek, and for some- time past have been taking ont pay. They lately took out three thousand five hundred dollars in three days. They have been keeping the thing quiet to give their friends time to arrivo from below, but one of the parties getting dissatisfied, gave information concerning their prospects, and numbers have consequently gone over from Williams Creek and staked off claims for some distance. Othor parties from the creek confirm this report. The snow has almost disappeared entirely from the roads, which are now very bad in some places. The ioe commenced breaking up hero ihis afternoon and made quite an opening ia the middle of the river. Hopr, April *Jth.—An Indian arrived yesterday from Similkamoen with an Express.

Ho! for Big Bend Mines! YALE, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 18(16. YALE. Situated at the head of navigation of the Fraser, and at tho terminus of tho grand trunk road of the Colony, this place is destined to become one of the most prosperous and busy cities in British Columbia. If tho Big Bend mines are as extensive and rich as they are generally believed to bc> the trade that will be done with Yalo will soon assume a magnitude and proportion that will force the town into an linportanco it did not even attain in the early days of the Fraser River exeitement. Here miners going to the mines of the interior must stop at least ono night, and on their return journey they are roquired to do the same. All the goods intended for the interior must pass into the stores of our merchants, and to this point all the pack trains and teams employed in their transportation inland must take up their freights. A kind of central depot for the whole colony, Yale possesses advantages which are Unequalled and that can never bo wrested from her so long as the great natural barrier cf the canons impede the navigation of the Fraser above tho city. The time will no doubt come when goods shipped at Victoria will not be transhipped until they aro landed at Yale. The direct communication by telegraph with San Francisco and tho interior of British Columbia affords merchants great facilities for carrying on their business. The completion of the telegraph line to Victoria will also prove highly advantageous to our mercantile community. Yale possesses at present a branch of the Bank of British CoW umbia, has two good hotels, several handsome saloons, and the merchants1 stores are substantial buildings. It has a public library, a public school, well attended and efficiently conducted, and a large number of newspapers are circulated in the town. Improvements have been going on steadily in building. Mr. M. Oppenheimer and Mr. Barlow have lately completed handsome dwellings, and Mr. Sutton and other residents contemplate building fine houses the ensuing summer. With the crowds of miners passing through every day to Big Bend, and the constant dispatching of merchandise by teams and pack trains to the same destination, everything looks cheerful in Yale, and we are not going too far when we say that there is not another town in either colony that has such a business appearance at present. We cannot but look upon the future of. this city with the most sanguine anticipations of its future greatness. Thk County Courts.—We confess we are at a loss to fully comprehend the opposition— except on the part of the lawyers—that has been raised to the extension of the jurisdic tion of the County Courts. It has heretofore been almost out of the power of creditors in the interior to recover sums exceeding $260, from the infrequency of tho holding of the Supremo Court., Besides, the heavy costs which are required to be paid to lawyers in the Superior Courts have almost acted as a barrier to persons going into them for the purpose of recovering debts up to $500. It has often been the ease with persons in this colony that rather than take proceedings in tho Supreme "Court for sums between $250 and $500, the amount above the former sum was dropped and action taken in the County Court for the full extent of its jurisdiction only. Instead of so much vilification being cast upon the magistrates for promoting the ordinanco lately passed, wo think—and so far as we havo heard opinions expressed on the subject tho public agrees with us-i-that the authors of tho Act aro entitled to credit for their oxortions in getting it passed. It is no argument whatever against the measure that the County Court judges are not lawyers. In England very few of the judges of the County Courts aro barristers, and yet there is no outcry made against! them. If we are not misinformed, the experience'!' and learned judge of the colony is not opposed to tho extention of the powers lately granted to tho magistrates of the country in civil suits. It must not be forgotten—although it has been concealed by the opponents of the Act— that suitors in the County Courts are entitled to have a jury to try their cases if either plaintiff or defendant makes application for it. RICH BANK DIGGINGS STRUCK! From a reliable miner who arrived here last night from Lytton City we learn that rich Bank Diggings havo been struck on Carrie's Croak, Big Bend. The prospeots obtained wore so rich as to create great excitement. The discoverer of the diggings immediately proceeded to Lytton City whore he recorded eighteen claims, and ho sold Siztetn Ounces of course gold, which he had taken out, to Messrs. Buie Bros., merchants. Some prospecting was done In the bed of Game's Creek last fall by a company of old Cariboo- ites, of which Bob Nobles was a member. They found the diggings wcre deep and that they could not get down to bed roek before the winter set in, and being short of provisions, they were obliged to leave until spring. The bank diggings were unknown last fall, and their discovery cannot fail to be a valuable addition to the previous discoveries made in the Big Bend country. Lakes Kam- loops and Shuawap were not open one week since, but it is the opinion of those who have returned from Savana's Ferry that they will be navigable by this time. A great number of men have already proceeded to the mines from all quarters, and there is but ono opinion regarding their great richness and extent. During the present week six pack trains with goods have left Yale for the new mines, and Barnard's stages aro running three times a week with passengers. Great progress has been made with the building of the Hudson's Bay Company's steamer. The machinery left here to-day, and it is anticipated that about the first of May the Marten will bo in running order. FURTHER. We learn from the resident magistrate here that he has received a letter from tho Recording Officer at Lytton City confirming the news of a miner having como there to record eighteen bank claims on Carne's Creek, Big Bend, and also that he had a considerable quantity of gold dust in his possession. Latest from Big Bend. From Mr. Thomas Spenee, who has just arrived from Cornwall's Ranch on the waggon road, wc learn that Jim May, an old and well known Cariboo miner, had struck a very rich claim on French Creek, four or five miles further up the stream than any prospecting had been done last fall. The lucky Jim immediately r.ornmiriiicntod with his old Cariboo chums and a number, including Jim Sellers, forthwith rushed off to join their former companion and share in his good luck. They have since recorded nine full claims, and the interest excited amongst the miners is very great. Jim May is one of the pioneer prospectors of Cariboo, and he has traversed as much of that mountain region in pursuit of geld as any man who has ever ventured into the upper country. He left Soda Creek about the 1st November last year for the Big Bend and has wintered there.. The waggon road to the lakes has been completed, and nearly all Wright's men hate been discharged. Waggons hato passed over tho new road already. The ice on the lakes has broken up and the navigation is now open. Inconvenient.—The merchants and traders of Yale complain of the short time the river steamers stop here in the beginning of the week. On Sunday evening last the Cariboo express arrived almost simultaneously with the Reliance from the capital. With letters coming in - from both quarters at tho same timo merchants and business people generally were Obliged to' be up nearly all night to have their correspondence ready for the mails the following morning. As the Enterprise does nOt leave New Westminster before Wednesday the steamers from tbis would have ample time to make the connection by leaving Yale on Tuesday morning. We feel suro tho captains of tho steamers only requiro to be made aware Of tho incoveniefnee their supporters labour under to aoecde to their wishes by stopping over Monday at this place. Stiameb Marten.—The work on this tesscl is described by parties who bare returned from the lakes as in a very forward state. The utmost dispatch is exercised to have her ready for the machinery when it arrives. A number of waggons left Yalo to-day with tho boilers and machinery, and as tho roads are in excellent order at present, no delay is anticipated to take place in getting these necessary adjuncts of the vessel to their destination. Population of Bio Benr.—According to the latest and most reliable intelligence which wo could collect, from fifteen hundred to two thousand men have already proceeded to the Big Bend mines.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM SAN FRANCISCO. A quieter timo for business 1ms never boon experienced in the Bay City than the past winter, but the spring trade has now set in and bids fair to equal that of any former season. The vast rush of miners to Montana lias stimulated the merchants here to forward immense quantities of goods, nnd every .steamer leaving for Portland is filled to repletion with freight. It is an extraordinary siglvtrto witness tho approaches to the wharf the day before the steamers sail—for a mile and a half from tlie steamboat landing the street is lined with drays bearing freight, and it often happens that many have to return to the warehouses with the goods after remaining on the street a day and night, unable to get the freight on board. Considerable rivalry exists regarding the best route to Montana from San Francisco. Some maintain that via Portland is less expensive and shorter than that by Sacramento and then overland. .1 am inclined to believe, from information I have received from miners who have been over both routes, that Portland is tho best and cheapest way at present to forward goods. "Whether San Francisco will bo able to compete with St. Louis is problematical at present; however, the question will bo settled this season. I regret to say that your colonies do not occupy so much of men's thoughts here as I think they aro entitled to. Much of this is, no doubt, owing to 'he bad reports circulated by skedaddlcrs and others of that ilk who arrive in our midst, and who never cease to speak disparagingly of the country. Notwithstanding such influences, howevor, Big Bend will draw a fair emigration, the opinions keeps an editor at Washington most of the time, and his business is to watch the weathercock on the Capitol, and telegraph the state of tho wind to San Francisco. Just now both these papers arc backing and filling, and for want of sailing orders from the East, scarcely know what course to steer. Tho consequence is that they are placed in the anomalous position of belonging to no party, at a time when the national mind is more excited upon vital questions than it has been for years; and naturally enough theso journals which HAVE hoisted their colors are beginning to blaze away from all sides upon tho hesitating flagships. Speaking of "Hags" reminds mo of the paper so named, the editor of which, Mc Carthy, has got himself into what our American cousins call •' a tight place," through charging the State Legislature with bribery when he .was not in a position to prove the truth of his allegations. Ho is now in prison at Sacramento and favors his readers daily with a "Howl from the Dungeon," compared to which the plaints of your contemporary at New Westminster, under similar circumstances, were but as the wailings of an infant to the hollowing of a sick whale. Mr. McCarthy played a bold stroke for popularity, but it was more bold than prudent. He is now enduring the martyrdom of St. Laurence —aud certainly no martyr was ever better roasted. Of papers which do not call themselves independent, the Examiner, a Democrat paper, is perhaps the best conducted of any, and there can be no doubt that the Democratic party is rapidly gaining strength in California. Opinions aro freely uttered now which twelvo months ago would have brought on an attack of "hempen bronchitis," and thero is a growing desire to repress the " irrepressible nigger." There are periodicals published in this city of San Francisco which would have been a disgrace to Holywell street in its worst times. Papers which flaunt before Messrs. Culler & Parsons Havo now ready at miitt.!^MMXimtXBtitta&Msnimw»iaM&al&Jiii BIG BEND GOLD MINES, BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Passengers going tins way have not to cross the dan- geroua Columbia River Hir, mul tho distance is over ONE THIRD (or '270 miles) SHORTER by way of Victoria, than by way of Portland. Tho Governments of Vancouver Maud and British Columbia have subsidized tho following powerful stoimers to parry minors from San Francisco to Victoria and New 'Westminster direct: The H. B. Oo.'s steamer Labouchcre, Capt, Mount; The C. S. N. Co.'s steamer Active, Oapt. Thorn. These, or other first-class steamers, will run on this route regularly, and will connect at Victoria with swift River steamers carrying passengers to Yalo, n distance of 175 miles. From Yale to Savuim Ferry, a distance of 138mllos, there is ;i splendid Government Wagon Bead and Cuiiif<H4a4>lt>-Wtiy#id«-HmiHos ovory - f.w miles; bvor this road travelers can easily walk, or they can ride in Barnard's Fast Four-Horse Stages.

Caustic. the steamers to Victoria, you will not reap all the advantages that vou should do from the emigration. Direct steam communication is a step in the right direction, and if continued cannot fail to beneiit both colonies immensely. If fares arc kept low on tho steamers during tho summer, a great many will be induced to visit Victoria and British Columbia who have never been in the colonies before, and much good will result from such intercourse.

Tho following is tho list of tho maasures passed during the session of the Legislature idle in San Francisco, noino of which [of British.
