More than three months since the Administrator of the Government informed the\nLegislative Council that he would remove the\ntoll gate at Lytton the moment Mr. G. B.\nWright's eiaims were arranged. So far as\nwe CRn learn, Mr. Wright has been settled\nwith tome time ago, and yet the toll gate still\nremains. Is this acting in good faith with the\ncountry, or giving that relief to our commerce with the new mines which the Administration pledged itself to afford? Most certainly not; and such couduct on the part of\nthe Government is deserving of the severest\ncensure. With goods pouring into the Big\nBend country by the Columbia that pay no\nroad tolls or tonnage dues, how can it be expected thai our merchants, who pay both,\nwill be able to compete with their neighbors?\nIt cannot be expected; and the result of the\nGovernment policy will bo to drive the merchants on this route over to the American\nside. Th\"re never was a fairer prospect in this\ncolony for business than at the opening of this\nseason, but the supiness of the Government\nin connection with trails, and their bad faith\nin reference to the nnd tolls have interposed\nto throw the merchants back further than\nthey ever were before\nUp to thc present time very little has been\ndona towards the improvement of the trail\nacross the divide from Seymour to the Big\nBend. The Government have Un men employed upon it, and the opinion of persons\nwho have lately crossed over is thnt it will\ntake at least five weeks before animals will be\nable to venture across. This is certainly\npleasant (?) news for the merchants of the\ncolony who havo their goods blockaded in.\nSeymour. There is some satisfaction in contemplating that through the active energy of\nAmericans, by the rival route of the Columbia river, the miners will not be forced to leave\nfrom a want of provisions. The Government\nmay rest assured thnt there is a day of reckoning\nahead when it will have to answer to the people for its gross mismanagement in connection\nwith the loss the merchants of the colony are\nnow sustaining in not having a road into the\nmines. We venture to say that if some accident happened to Mr. Trutch's beautiful suspension bridge, he would find time very soon\nto go to the spot to set it right.

This decision alone of the\nmagistrate should make the Government recall him at once.\nIt will be seen by reference to another part\nof our issue that the Spanish fleet has bora-\nharded the Chillian port of Valparaiso, destroying some $20,000,000 worth of property\nbelonging to English, American and French\nmerchants. It is attempted in certain quarters to cast a good deal of blame upon Admiral Denman for allowing the Spanish fleet\nto attack the town. We think it will be lound\nthat the British admiral has acted strictly in\naccordance with his instructions from home in\nthe course he has pursued, and the public may\nrest satisfied that he has protected the persons and property of H. M. subjects to the\nutmost extent of his power. So fur as we\noan understand, thare was nothing to prevent\nCommodore Rodgers from carrying out his\nthreat of opposing the Spanishr ionclads with\nhis monitors. It is premature to pasj any\ndecided judgment on the proceedings, as we\nhave not the full particulars before us.\nA NICE STATE OF AFFAIRS.\nAlthough it has been stated by the Surveyor-General that his deputy, Mr. Moberly,\nwub employed ou the trail from Seymour, we\nhave it from a party who has just arrived\nhere direct, that the Denuty Surveyor is at\nFrench Creek, and that there are only ten\nmen 6till at work on the trail.

The machinery\nis being placed in her very fast, and it is expected that in ten days she will steam out for\nSeymour. Her lines are very good, and in\nalmost every detail resemble the Alexandra.\nIt is a pity that the Company's servant*,\nable as they are, should be backward in the\nusages and practices of civilized life, an instance of which I will give you : Messrs. Kay\n& Chapperon now hold the charter of Savana's\nFerry, and in their right could have opposed\nthe passage of the steamer across their ropes,\nhowever far it was from their intention to do\nso. Everyone supposed that Capt. Monat\nwould at least pass the compliment to the\nowners by asking their consent to the lower\ning of thc ropes.

If Mr. Trutch is to remain iu\nNew Westminster, the Administrator of the\nGovernment would do much good by coming\nup here himself, and let the Commissioner remain in New Westminster patching up old\nroads and studying court effect. How long\nthis state of affairs will last we cannot tell,\nbul there is one thing certain, they cannot\nlast long, or else the valley of the Fraser, the\nnatural highway of British Columbia, will be\nclosed up and shut out from communication\nwith the richest and most extensive section of\nthis colony, and, in the oi inion of all, this will\nbe by the neglect of the Lands und Works\nDepartment.

When we consider that the\ncountry is new, with men rushing in far too\nearly in the season, it is extraordinary, and\nwe think highly encouraging, that up to the\npresent time only three men have returned\nhere from the mines, and two of those who\ncame back were obliged to leave from illness\ncontracted in packing large amounts across\nthe mountain from Seymour. About fifteen\nor twenty men, we are informed, have returned to Kamloops from the mines. They\nRtate that the snow on the creeks was so deep\nthey could not got properly to work and consequently thought it better to leave for a few\nweeks and then return. The men express\nthemselves well satisfied with the country,\nand have accepted work at Ksmloops for\ntheir board rather than come any further\ndown, so anxious are they to return the\nmoment the snow is off.\nCompstition.\u2014We have heard some parties\nassert that the Columbia river route will beat\nthis side out of the Big Bend trade. We are\nof a different opinion, and for the following\nreason: Freight at present to Savana's Ferry\nis only four cents a pound. In the course of\na few days the steamer will be running, when\nthe rate across the lakes will be reduced to one\ncent. A good trail across the divide and\ngoods can be taken to the Columbia from\nSeymour for three cents, making the total\nonly eight cents a pound. From Walla Walla\nto Colville alone the freight of goods must\namount at least to eight cents, so that we\nhave the advantage on our side if the Government either abolish the tonnage dues and\nroad tolls, or place the same imposts on the\npoods coming up the Columbia river that\nexist on this side.\nA young man arrived here on Wednesday\nlast from Camp Creek, which place he left on\nthe 7th inst. He reports a good deal of snow\non the creek when he left. Very little prospecting had been done, and men were contenting themselves with preparing lumber,\nbuilding houses and getting ready to commence operations. Claims being laid over to\nthe 1st of June, there is no necessity for representing them until that time. Camp Creek\nis considered one of the most promising\ncreeks in the Big Bend district, and is ail\ntaken up by miners. Only one shaft had\nbeen commenced, and it was only down fifteen\nfeet. Bed-rock had not been struck. Our\ninformant confirms the report of there being\na large population iu the mines. Very few-\nmen had left the mines, and confidence in the\nrichness of the country was unabated. The\nsteamer Forty-Nine had arrived at Kirby's\nLanding, on the 6th inst., on her second trip\nup. She brought 110 passongers and 40 tons\nof freight. Colville flour was selling at 40\ncents per lb.; Oregon flour, 60 cents; bacon,\n$1. Gum boots were scarce. Before the arrival of the Forty-Nine the price of provisions\nwas high. There were TEN MEN! working\non the Government trail when our informant\npassed. The steamer Marten was round at\nSavana's Ferry getting in her machinery.\nFrom the fact of everything having been\npreviously arranged by the intelligent and\nactive engineer of the steamer and his assistant who is from the foundry of Spratt\n& Kremlier, it was thought by the first of\nJune everthing would be in order for the first\ntrip. Every one who has seen the vessel is\nloud in praise of her beauty. A California\ncarpenter who came here from Seymour a\ntew days since says that he was perfectly\nastonished to see so fine a steamer built in\nsuch an out-of-the-way place. The work, he\ndeclares, is equal to any he has seen on\nsteiuneTs in California, and the symmetry and\nbeauty of her build could not be excelled.\nLATER.\nis that there has not been an exodus from the\nmines before this. It certainly shows the\nfaith meu have in the country, when they\ncling so tennciously to it. The steann-r Marten\nhas arrived here and is getting in her machinery. She struck a rock on her way down,\nbut sustained no damage by the collision.\n\"Havana \"\nLATEST.\nFrom a young man who arrived hero Inst\nevening, and who left French Creek on the\n12th inst., we learn that two companies had\ncommenced taking out pay. The Discovery\nCompany on the 11th washed up 8-J oz. they\nwere greatly troubled with boulders. The\nMuuro Company took out 22oz in three days.\nSeveral other companies were setting to work\nbut the water in the Creek was rising very\nfast which may delay operations. ;-ix or\nO'Grady, the Russ House robber, was con->\nvicted this evening on the teatimony of his\neonfedenile, Mills.\nJudge Rix neritenced spiritualist Dictress\nHurd or DeWolf, to pay a fine of $21 for appearing in public wearing breeches.\nForrest began his engagement last night to\na fine audience; but an increase of prices\neflused the house to have 300 vacant seat*.\nTiie acting wai grand.\nNevada City, May 15.\u2014 The San Ju*n stag*,\nwith six passengers, was stopped this morning,\nabout half-past four, by three robbers, masked;\nthey blew open Weils, Furgo & Co.'s treasure\nbox and took seven thousand nine hundred\ndollars; none of the piseengera were robbed.\nAs soon as the stage arrived, Sheriff Gentry\nstarted with a posse, in pursuit of the robbers.\nAbout three miles from town Steve Venard,\neight companies on MoCullough's Cn-ek were!formerly City Marshnl, got mi their track aud\ntflkitigout good pay from surface digging!\".

His\nsister, a poor widow, though \" a born princess,\"\n(us Willis called Piccolomini,) married one of\nthe English Royal Dukes, and their only surviving child now occupies the British throne;\nher daughter will one day be Queen of Prussia. Another of the Cobourg family married\na daughter of Louis Phillippe of France. Yet\nanother is father of the present King of\nPortugal. Leopold's eldest sou espoused an\nAustrian Arch-duchess, and his only daughter\nis Empress of Mexico. To crown all, the\nsovereignty of the Danubian principalities\n(that is, of Moldavia and Wallachia, united\nunder one administration since December,\n1861, under the title of Roumania,) has become vacant by the deposition of the Hospo-\ndur, Priuco Alexandre John Conza, and has\nbeen offered to the Count de Flanders, second\npon of the late King Leopold of Belgium. It\ncannot be said that this is an unimportant\nsovereignty, for the population of Roumania\nexceeds 4,000,000, (that of Belgium is 4,800,-\n000,) and its regular army numbers 15,450\nmen, and with the addition of the frontier\nguard aud 5,000 mounted police, amounts to\na force of 28,000 men. Though Roumania\npays an annual tribute of $80,000 to the\nPorte, ils sovereign has a life tenure of his\ndignity\u2014unless when, as iu the case of Prince\nConza, he be dismissed by the unanimous desire of the people.\nThe curious thing is that another of the\nlucky Cobourgs ehould have been offered\nanother vacant throne. Leopold, we suspect,\nfonnd the cap and purse of Fortunatus, ahout\ntho time that he married Princess Charlotte\nof England.\nIt is stated lhat the Count de Flanders will\nnot accept the crown of Roumania, though\nhe resolved to defer his intended journey to\nItaly, in order to receive thc deputation\nwhich the Roumanian parliament announced\nthey would send. Having succeeded to one\nfourth of the large property left by his father,\nand having a great love for the fine arts, it is\n*aid that he proposes to live en grand signeur,\nremaning unmarried, and visiting many lands.\nHe is not yet 29 years old, but being afflicted\nwith deafness, is afraid that he coulU not\ndischarge the duties of a Sovereign.

The curtain rises,\nand the interior of a Grecian temple is disclosed. Drapery in tlie back-ground is pushed\non one side, and a figure classically costumed\nand reading intently a scroll, which he holds\nin one hand, approa^hps. The Professor ex\nplains that the figure .ust be supposed to represent a noble Athenian, erudite and highly\ngifted. Through an acquaintanceship which\nhe had formed with one of the priests of Iris,\nthe individual gets possession of a sacred\nscroll, which informs him that, by means of\ncertain charms and incantations, he can hold\nconverse with the dead. He proceeds to do\nso at once, and after some formalities calls\nupon Socrates. Slowly the curtain, through\nwhich the Athenian before appeared, is drawn\naside, and a head apparently floating through\nthe air, is seen. TI- 'a seems to be no mistake\nabout the head b-..ug human. It is, apparently, Socrates, and seemingly \"all alive.\"\nGradually the eyes open and look about most\nnaturally, and, in obedience to the demand of\nthe Athenian, the voice of Socrates is heard\npronouncing his own opinion of the decision\nof his judges. To render the illusion as real\nas possible, an instrument is placed in front of\nthe stage which has tCie effect of throwing a\nstrong reflection upon any object which comes\nbetween it and the papered wall at thc back\nof the stage. The reflection of the head, and\nthe head alone, on thc back-ground, ndds\nmuch to the bewilderment with which every\nspectator, not in the secret, witnesses it. Besides, as the head delivers itself of the beautiful lines with which it is intrusted, the head\nis observed to move with each articulation to\nthe voice. Yet the whole is, as the Professor\ntakes some trouble to remind his audience\nwhen nny fresh cause for surprise is unfolded,\nnothing more than a simple illusion.\nThe \"fairy casket\" is equally surprising.\nIt consists of a strong table, some four feet\nhigh, with four legs, which are open to the\ninspection of all. On (he table is deposited\na large glass box of neatly the same size as\nthe table. The whole is covered with drapery,\nwhen it is brought in front of the stage, close\nto the footlights. The closest inspection is\ninvited. On the covering being removed, the\ntable and glass box, as above described, appear. The glass box seems to contain black\nvelvet and charcoal.\nThe Professor opens the box and fills it\nstill further with what appears te be more\ncharcoal. He then orders his assistant to\nshut down the glass lid and cover the box.\nIn a few minutes thc box is uncovered, and it\nappears to be filled with white satin instead\nof black velvet, and roses instead of charcoal.\nA white satin cushion is taken out of the box,\nnnd after it a real live fairy is handed up from\nTHE NEW ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH WIRE.\nThe project of laying a telegraph cable\nacross the Atlantic, from the shores of Ireland to the coast of Newfoundland, twice attempted and twice a failure, will be renewed\nin the month of July of the present year\nunder better auspices than ever before. The\nexperience of the first undertaking only\nserves to confirm confidence in the practicability of the enterprise. In the construction\nof this third cable important modifications\nhave been introduced, rendering the wire\nstronger, more flexible and more elastic than\nits predecessor of last year. The appliances\nfor paying out also have been so far improved\nthat in the event of a \" hitch\" occurring, the\ncable can be returned on board the Great\nEastern without the hazardous operation of\ntransferring the wire from the stern to the\nbows of the vessel. Three ships will be employed in the laying. In consequence of\nlegal difficulties preventing the old telegraph\ncompanies from raising the requisite capital\nfor the new undertaking, another company\nhas been formed, mainly out of the shareholders of the other corporations. The new\ncompany is called the \" Anglo-American\nTelegraph Company.\" Its capital is \u00a3600,000,\nand by the terms of its incorporation it will\nreceive nothing if the cable fails, but $150,000\na year, or 26 per cent, if it succeeds. As to\nthe probability of recovering the old cable,\nscientific men are as sanguine as they are ol\nthe triumphant success of the forthcoming\nventure. Among other curious facts mentioned at the telegraph meetings recently held\nat Manchester and Liverpool, was this, that\nthe submerged wire is at the present time\nmore perfect as to insulation than on the day\nit left Valencia Bay.\nWriting for Fame, not for Monet.\u2014The\nSoleil of Paris contains a. letter from Victor\nHugo, in which the veteran writer declines the\noffer made by the editor of \u00a320,000 for his\nnew work, \" Les TravnilleurR de la Mer,\"\nwhich he intended to publish in tlio shape of\na\u25a0fmilloton-i Victor Iliigo'says-:-\" Your offer\nis one of the most splendid ever offered to a\nwriter.

The rest\nhad either left for Barbacoas or been taken\nback by the two schooners. The authorities\nin Barbacoas, cither to prevent an accumulation of white paupers, or from some disinterested motive, are sending those who are willing to go, into the interior. Thirty had\nalready been dispatched by the Governor,\nwith three months provisions, and negroes or\nIndians to carry the same.
