A despatch says a Survey of the Boundary Between Alaska and British Columbia shows that the in to National Boundary Lino intersects Tho Stic Ueen River eighteen Miles from the coast much Nearor its Mouth than was supposed which will on Jablo seagoing steamers to proceed up Tho River to British territory without detention from american customs authorities. The importance of this discovery to Tho British columbian can hardly be overrated. Immense annoyance and inconvenience have hitherto Beon experienced by having to Convoy goods for of the Cassiar miners by Way of the Stickson Kiver owing to the vexatious customs restrictions imposed by Tho i Niton states to free Navi gation. The Boundary line dividing Ameri can find British territory has to be located to As to give the i United state.-, a strip of territory on the coast Twenty Miles Broad. To presume this line would have to Corres Pond with undulations of the coast and that is How it Tho Lino it the Mouth of the Sticklen were drawn from Headland to Headland the International Boundary might intersect the River Only eighteen Miles from the actual Mouth. If the observations taken really the conclusion reported oceangoing team is m a now discharge their cargoes in Canadian territory instead of american by which All the vexatious Cus Toms restrictions and will be avoided. Tin of the districts in Africa made known to the civilized world by the explorations of Burton Speko Livingstone and Stanley is Likely to be commenced very shortly under the auspices of an International association formed among the leading Stales of the continent of Europe. National committee in Dennany Austria Hungary the nether lands Spain and Italy have been formed while in 1 Ort Gal and Switzerland organizations Are being effected. Tho belgian committee has thu.-. Far Hown the greatest and Lias already raised a fund. Which when will yield an in come from january , of francs annually. It is reported that the King of the b Gians has commenced the construction of a Road from the coast opposite a Quibar to Tanganyika a distance Hundred and forty Miles and that til teen Hundred men Are employed upon the work. A second meeting of the association will to held at Brussels on the , and the several National committees Are invited to be represented by two delegates each. Tho introduction of a european Industry and social habits Tho of slavery will receive its certain death blow within a few tin no news of Liny lighting Lias reached us for the past few Days and it certainly seems strange that there is no intelligence of Tho Progress or abandonment of the bombard ment of Kars or of the Advance of the rus Sian army in Armenia. The delay of the russians in attempting the crossing of the Danube is understood. The High stage of water in the River the inundation of the Low country and Tho bad late of the roads Are All reasonable causes of what looks something like procrastination. I until the Means of communication Are Perie eted no attempt to Cross would to Likely to be sue the attempt will doubtless be made by a series of feints and then by a sudden concentration the crowing will com Mence in Earnest at two or More strategical Points previously determined on. 11 is Proba that a yield railway is in course of Eon Street Ion after the manner of the germans besieging to facilitate the Means of rapid concentration which we repeat is All important. The want of funds on the part of the turks is according to the i Imti Cor respondent Tho reason of their defences not being As Complete As they might be. This is probably the reason also Why not a Spade has yet been put into the ground in execution of the plans for the defence of constantinople made by sex col. Valentine Baker and some officers of the Royal Engi Wieers several months ago. Tho inimical relations of Servia with the Porte threaten to bring Liistro if Ungary sooner or later into the conflict. It is said that i variety of dissonant policies and sympathies arc in presence and the partisans of each clamor for a definite solution. The hungarian element is fanatically turkish in proclivities the austrian moderately so the germans demand an unconditional neutrality the slavs insist upon an Alliance with Russia to secure the Independence of their Brethren across the Danube. The most important subject of the Des patches relating to the War at present is the question of whether Russia shall enter constantinople or not and various distinguished personages Are reported to have delivered themselves on this Point. Following the prudent method of that authority upon the mrs. Glass in her celebrated instructions How to Cook a Hare in which commences first catch your it might to suggested. To Tho russians that they should first Cross the Danube and when they see their Way to getting through the passes of the Balkans it will to almost time enough to consider whether they shall enter constantinople and for Tho Powers to de cide if it is justifiable for them to do so. To know very Well what the British government think Lor did not or. Cross after reciting the numerous pledges of the car including that Monarch s declaration that to had no designs upon constantinople say if Tho emperor keeps his word thus solemnly pledged British interests will not to con but Tho government have assured parliament that they will protect Brit ish interests so what if Tho Breaks Faith As j cd arts the canal England by buying up Tho shares of Tho Khedive for four millions Sterling is a principal proprietor. The Khedive s which the work constructed declares it open for Ever As a Neutral Way to every Commer. Cial vessel proceeding from one sea to Tho hut is silent regarding ships of War. The British government have declared they would object to any Tion that would deprive of the use of the canal to Send War ships or troops to or from India. They have spoken plainly on this Point and whoever ventures to tread across the Chalk Lino thus marked out must Light against Tho whole strength and re sources of the Empire. Til 10 a Katimi who have lived an Inland life can have but a very inadequate Concep Tion of the importance of maintaining connection with a powerful kingdom like great Britain compared with those Whoso Mari time occupation and interests make them familiar with Tho subject. Though it May not always be the Case that the taxpayers of thu Mother country will Bear the entire Burden of supporting that magnificent Navy which secures for Britannia her claim to Rule the it is at least satisfactory for the particularly Canada to that wherever their numerous ships Cruse or Trade the Ever present Power of 0iiglish men of War May he relied on for their Protection. What this Protection Means May lie gathered from thu following extract from the correspondence of the new York i not in relation to tie punishment for an outrage upon the person of the bit ish Consul at san Loe de Guatemala some time ago.
