In IK.'JO, Lord Durham, in his Report on liritiHh North Amenca, strongly urged the construction of a Railway. In 1843, a Survey for a Military Road was made at the instance of Ithe Home (Jovernmcnt, but afterwards abandoned in favour of a Railwav. In 184fi, The Rluht Hon. W. K. Gladstone, the present Chancellor jf the Exehe(picr, then Secotary of State for the Colonies, organized a Survey for a Railway by Royal Engineers. In 1848, that Survey was completed ; and the Report thereon. h\ Major Robinson and Captain Henderson, was presented tj Parliament in February, lH4y. Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia c> ntributed £30,000 to expenses of that Survey. In 1851, Lord John Russell's administration, through Lord Grey, the Colonial Minister, in a despatch to the Governor-General of TJritish North America, u&ted the 14th of March of that year, pledged the Iniperial guarantee, or to atlvance the n>oney from the British Treasury, on an estimate that the line would cost £.5,000,000 sterling. In 1852, that pledge was rencAved by Lord Derby's admini:stration, but fe into abr- mce on a question of route: but the pledge has never been withdrawn. 2 Canada has since tliat time made 2,000 miles of Railway west war from Quebec, and also 114 miles of the line from Qnebec towards Halifax New Hrunswick has also made 110 miles of the line extending froi Shediac to St. John ; and Nova Scotia has made 60 miles of the liii extending from Halifax to Truro, and a branch line to Windsor of US milet The length of line reniaining to be constructed is 350 miles, and whicl can be fully completed and eciuipped for £3,000,000 sterling. In the Autumn of 1858, Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia made a joint application to the Imperial Government, expressing their inability to complete the undertaking without Imj)erial Aid. Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have granted to Ilcr Majesty £00,000 j)cr annum, and all the ungranted lands within ten miles on either side of the line, and a free right of way through all private property, providing Her Majesty's Government will, by themselves, or, through the instrumentality of a private Company, complete the Railway. Her xMajesty's Government are asked to give £G0,000 per annum for the carriage of the Mails, Afilitary Stores, and Troops between Halifax aud Quebec, and with that and the provincial grant guaranteed for a series of years, by the Imperial Government, the necessary Capital can be raised to complete the Railway. Against the foregoing sum of £60,000, the Governments of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia estimate a saving to the Imperial Treasury of £70,000 per annum, exclusive of the great saving the Railway would effect in the Imperial Military expenditure, which amounts at present to about £420.000 a year. Upwards of £20,000,000 of British Capital invested in Canadian Railways is in great jeopardy, owing to the want of access to and from the Atlantic through British Territory. The Grand Trunk Railway was constructed on the distinct assurance that the line would be continued through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to the Atlantic by the Imperial and Provincial Governments.

JOSEPH NELSON. SESSION, 1861. i To the Queen H Mmt Ejrcelhtit Majesfji. fllE HUMBLE AND DUTTPUL ADDRESS OF THE LEGISLATIVE 4 COUNCIL AND HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY (JF THE PBOMNCE OF I NEW BRUNSWICK. May it please your Majesty, — ' We, the Legislative Comicil and House of Assembly, beg leave t.. approach your .Majesty with renewed assurances of our attachment and fidelity to your Majesty's person and Government. : In common with your Miijesty's loyal subjects in these North- American provinces, we are deeply in.pressed with the great advantages, if not absolute nec(>ssity. of a railway from Halifax to Quebec, comiccting Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with Canada. The Legishiture and people of New Brunswick have, on all occasions, •manifested the greatest interest in the importance of the work to the British Empire, and hove expressed their willingness to contribute for its accomplislunent to an ertcut commensurate with the finai-.eial ability and resources of the country. Your Majesty's Government are aware that the construction of railways has so far absorbod our resources as nece^ irily to lessen the means at our disposal to assist in this important undertaking; but the lines of railway already in operation in this province may be made available for the purposes of this great work. The importance of the intercolonial railway for the gn t and manifold resources of the province: the facilitating the transmission of mails; the securing of itnproved |5ostal communication between Great Britain and Canada through British territory ; the advantages of the line for military purposes, and for the consolidation of your Majesty's dominions in this continent, have often been urged in former roprescntations, and as often conceded by your Majesty's Minister. Recent events have demonstrated the necessity for renewed exertion for the attainment of an object so essential to national interests and the maintenance of national honour. New Brunswick has millions of acros of 'ingrauted lands tit for cultivation and settlement, which, under a good system of colonization, might be made to contribute to this work. Should your Majesty's Government, in view of the great national advantages the carrying out of this great work will secure, adopt mcasiires to promote its construction, New Brunswick will cheerfully contribute in lands and money to the utmost of her means towards the accomplishment of an object so desirable. We therefore humbly pray your Most Gracious Majesty to take this our petition into your most favourable consideration, and grant such aid for the construction of an intercolonial railway as may be proportionate to the magnitude of the work, and to the Imperial interest involved in this great undertaking. I I SESSION, 1861. To the Qtteeus Most Excellent Majesty. THE HUMBLE ADDRESS OF THE LEGISL.VTIVE COUNCIL AND HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF NOVA SCOTIA. ''} Mav it please your Majesty, — We, Her Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Council and House of Assembly of Nova Scotia, respectfully beg leave again to invite our Sovereign's consideration to a work of National importance. For nearly twenty years the people of British America have been struggling to secure a great Highway extending from the Sea to the ^Veste^n bounds of Canada, and have made many sacrifices to obtain it. The foremost men in all the Provinces, of all political parties, have, from time to time, united to accomplish this work. Tlioy are united now, and they justly regard the realization of their hopes as an object not unworthy of the grave consideration of the Imperial Government. The recent visit of Ilis Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to these Provinces has not only enabled our Sovereign's son to survey their bouhdlcss resources, but has illustrated the spirit of loyalty and love of Brititih connection which pervades them. To unite them in the bonds of peace — to develop their resources, to enlarge their population, to harmonize their public sentiments by mutual intercourse, to strengthen them in time of war, and to keep alive in their midst the traditions and the policy of the mother country, appear to us objects worthy of combined effort on the part of the Provincial and Imperial Governments ; and we rejoica to perceive that, at hust, the great Cities of the three Kingdoms are awakening to a sense of their importance, and are about to petition Parliament for aid to construct a great Highway from the St. Lawrence to the Harbour of Halifax. 6 The LoKiBlature of Nova Scotia beg respectfully to refer Yonr Majesty to the various efforts ma.le by nu-an. of Addresses and Delegations from the Colonies to enlist In.perial support to this great National Undertaking; and the heavy sacrifices made by them in constructing seven.1 hect.o:.s of Railway, which may now be incorporated in this work, sufficiently evince the anxious desire of the people and Legislatures of all the Provinces to secure its speedy completion, which cannot be done w.thout Imperial aid. We entertain the confident hope that the assur-^nces repeatedly given bv Your Majesty's Ministers of their determination to a.d th.s Lporta^t enterprise may yet be realised, and that Your Majesty's re^gn may witness the completion of an undertaking which involves the interests not only of British America, but the Empire at large. Trusting that Your Majesty will give to th subject of this Address the grave consideratiorr due to its magnitu, arrd importance the Legislative Council and House of Assembly, as ar duty bound, wdl ever pray. To the R'l'M HouonmUe the Lords Spintual awl Temi^oml. (A SimUar Petition haa be«a addressed to tha House of Commons . tiit: humble petition of the undehsigned mekcuants BANKERS, AND OTHER^ OF THE CITIES OF LONDON AND WESTMINSTER. 5l)tta)ttl), FrR.T.-That for one-half of the year we are solely dependent on the ruitcd states of America for our communications with Canada. Second. — That in case of an interruption of our friemlly relations with the United States, our intercommunication with Canada, during that period, is liable to bo cut off at a • ent's notice, and an important portion of the British Empire placed •;! gri :t jeopardy. Third. — That the completion of the lino of Rjiilway from Halifax to Quebec would render us perfectly independent of the United States at all seasons of the year. Fourth. — That the completion of this line of RaiU.ay would accelerate the delivery of the Canadian Mails and Despatches at least thirty-six hours in advance of the present route through the United States. FiFTU. — That the completion of this line of Railway would open up for colonization and settlement by emigrants from the mother-country upwards of 14,000,000 acres of ungranted lands within a journey of tm (lavs from our own shores. Sixth. — That the present cost of conveying the British North- American Mails through the United States, estimated at £25,000 per annum, would bo saved to the Imperial Treasury. Seventh. — That by making Halifax the Terminus of the AtiaiUK* Royal Mail Service, instead of Boston and New York, a large annual sum would be saved in tlic .lileage rate, as at present paid for that service by the imperial Treasury. Eighth. — That the Military expenses for the preservation of Britisli North America, borne by the Imperial Treasury, amount every year to the sum of £420,000. Ninth. — That the completion of this line of Railway would cH'ect in almost total saving of this expenditure, as it would render Canada acci's- sibli' fj; the extradition and transmission of Troops and Military Stores within ten days at all seasons ; whilst at the jtrusent time she is, in a 8 military point of view, excluded from communication with the mother- ^•ountry for six months of the y« ar. Tenth.— That it would link together the three provmces of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, without which any further combina- tion of these Provinces would be impracticable, and would also give them ' -ces.^ to the ocean at all seasons through the port of Halifax, one of the finest harbours in the world, and nearer to England (and to Europe) by 400 miles than any other open port in America. Eleventh.— That by completing the construction of the Railway from Truro to River du Loup, a distance of 350 miles, a direct Railway com- munication will be established through British territory between Halifax, Quebec, and Lake Huron, a distance of 1,400 miles, from whence it is intended to open a direct comn.mication with British Columbia, ^ an- couvcr's Island and the Pacific. TwELFTH.-That your Petitioners belic.ve that the immediate comple- tion of the line of Railway from Halifax to Quebec is essential to the preservation and integrity of the British Empire in North America. THiHTEKNTH.-T'iat y.mr Petitioners believe that in addition to its adding to the security and permanence of the British Empire in North \merica, accelerating th. communication with the mother-country, reviving that identity of interest with her which has been too long .Migrossed by the United States, the Railway would also effect a saving to the Imperial Treasury far exceeding any assistance that may be required for its completion. FoCBTEEKTH.-That from the formation of the Halifax and Quebec Railway commercial advantages of immense value would be secured to Great Britain and Canada, and the great importance of the Ime is fully acknowledged bv every trading commnnity. It would benefit most of the Railways at present in existence in the Colony, and its accompi.sh- nicnt is looked forward to with gr^at anxiety. Your Petitionors therefore pray your Il^uourable Iloasc to grant such aid and assistancp to the Halifax and 'Jucbec Railway, an shall brin^ to a succcHHful completion this great national under- takiun. And your Petitioners will ever pray. (Juceiiiur and JJiieclom of the Canada Laud CV//*yx«/»y \ Charles Pranks, Win. Wilson, '1'. II. Mitchell, llohert Gillespie, W. T. llibbert, S. J. B()s;;nquet, T.
