The Montréal Emigrant Society coniider it due to tiieniselv», tu tbe public at large aird lo tbe - emigrant population nhich haï arriied in tbitcotuÀ f< try during the iiaTigation Maton uf lbSS,'ta ren^r ( mn account of their proceeding*' as ttenards of thaïe fundi ariting froni the Kniigraot l'ai Bill, wbich faafe becn placcd at their diiiKwal, The Society coninicnced their epcrationt on the ]Slh iMay latt, ky the exunination ut ihe Tcnden wliich had been received, in coniequeiiçe of au advcrtiscnient tp that elTcct, foV the transport of Kniigrants to dilTereut part» of l'pper and IjAter 4'anada, both by thfline of Ike SU Lawrence and of the Ottawa Ilirer^, The Society wcre aniipus lo gire to ihe inhabi- tants of L'pper Canada, at inucb licnelit as possible of the Emigrant Tai Bill, in the oi^ly way in which it could be done, viiE. by furwarding destitute Kmi- grants as far into that Province as their funds would permit. Tbey thereforV accepted Tenders for transport, by Ihe Une of Ihe St. Lawrence as far as Niagara, the lleod of Ijikt Ontario, York, and ail Ihe intennediate places to the Province linc. But they, regret to say they could not feel themieUei ju|tiûed iu entering into any Aintract for transport by the linè of the Ottawa, because, ■ccording.to the tender received for that route, it ]ivaB found that eacb Knjigrant landcd at Uytown would cost Ihe Society Iwo shillings inofc, than each Emigrant landcd at Niagara or York. And it was not till very late in the scason that the own- ers of the craft on the Ottawa, agrerd lu trans- port Kniigrants to Bvto^vn «I It-ss than haïr tbiir fiist tender, an abatenie'nt of which the Society iinmêdiately avallcd themselves, for the benelit of the very sniall purliun of Enii^rants whose views led theni to scck a scttlcmeutun Ihe Ottawa Hiver. ^he Society are wcll awarc that much has been •^ and written, and that great eiertions hâve until there be a^iufScicot quantity of trade by th« Ottawa, to create an*equal coinpclitian to that which eiists on the St. Lawrence, this last route mukt continue to enjoy ils présent superiurily in point of facility and cheapness of convcyaoce. There are some other adVanlagty to tlie emigrant in the linc ofthe St. Lawrence, which the Society Uke tbii ôpjiortunity' of tlating, First, U^diOer- i enco in the diitaucc to Kingi>foa ii liity miles iu [. favouréf the St. rl^t* rence' route, the emigrant willf bii aged, bis intirni, bis lick, bis bekiless chil- dren, and bis lupgagel^ can proceedfiTany port on either of Ihc Ijikes Ontaiio or £rie wilbout buO'cr- ing more than one transhipment, viz. at l'rcscbtt ; whcreai by Ih» Ottawa and Kiilcau, he must suf- fer no le>s timn tivc, viz. at Lacbine, Carillon, t.'renvillf, llytown, and Kingston. Thirdly, ivhen the eniigrants arrive at Kingttun by Ibis last roule, tbey ruii tbe risk of being dclained tbcre for lève- rai dayi for want of conveyance, — Th6 Steaniboals wbich nicrely touch at that port being oftcn tuo full tu take theiii— or loo much hurricd tu reccive theni in any considérable numbcr»— whcreas whcn tbey arrive at Prescott Ly tbe St. Ijswrence, they find nul ohly abundance uf immédiate convejaiice by nieans of retiirn crnfl, but such a compétition as to enable thcni to procced ut alniost their own price. Soniethingmight be snid of the superiur contfort tu eniigrants by tbe St. i.aMrcnce, cuused by tbe diB'crcnce of passing thruugb a ivcil sctllcd, and\ thickly wouded and tbiuiy iububitcd cuuntry. But Ihc conifurts by tbe one route as Ijir us Près, cotl, and by the othcr as far as Kingston, are so very small, that any advantage that niay, in thii respect, be found iu the one rather thao tbe other, cannot be of very great importance. The Society met with no difiicu!ty in couducting their opcratiuiis until a fcw days aller Ihe break- ing out of tbat pestilence which cuniniitted sucb dreadfui ravages in this cily ; when tbe boatnien, enipluyed by their cunlracturi ilud iudeed liy the whole body uf furwarden, were seized with Ihe universal panic, and cveiy day brought fresh ac- counts of Ihe abaudonment of boats by their crews, along the wholc line of tbe routofroni Lacbine to Prescott. In this dreadfui dileninia, the ztal, as- siduity, and buiiiaiiity of tbeir cuiitmctur, Mr. Whiting, gavB entirc satisfaction (o tbe Society.
