 GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA RAILWAY COMPANY. 
 
 Debentures bearing interest at 6 per Cent. p«r Annum, with the option of 
 
 conversion into paid up Stock. 
 
 The Capital of this Company is ^1,250,000 sterling, of which one-half has been subscribed 
 in Shares in Canada and the United States. 30 per Cent, has been called up and expended on 
 the works, which are so far advanced, that a part of the Line will be opened next summer, and 
 the whole Line from Niagara to Windsor in 1853. 
 
 The Canadian Legislature, in consideration of the importance of this Railway to the 
 Province, has .■'.athorized the Government to advance the other half of the Capital on Loan at 
 6 per Cent , for twenty years; but as the Government requires a sinking fund of 3 per Cent., to 
 be set apart annually for the repayment of the Loan, the Company have termined to avail 
 themselves of this credit, to the extent of only ^£400,000; and tp oiFer to ths public the 
 remaining ;£200,000 in Bonds, repayable on the 1st of October, 1857, bearing interest at the 
 rate of 6 per Cent, per Annum from the day of Subscription, and convertible (at the option 
 of the lender) into paid up Stock of the Company any time on or before the Ist of May, 1855. 
 
 Contractors of the highest respectability have already offered to work the Line as completed, 
 and to pay a rent of 8 per Cent on the Capital expended ; but the Directors have declined this 
 offer, from a conviction that a much higher return will be obtained ; as is the case with the 
 adjoining Railways. 
 
 The power of converting tliese Bonds into Stock nuiy therefore become a very valuable 
 privilege. About one-third of the ^200,000 has already been secured by parties in this Country 
 interested in the success of the undertaking. 
 
 Applications for the remainder (£140,000,) may be made to Messrs. Foster and 
 Braithwaite, Stock Brokers, 68, Old Broad Street, on or before the Tenth day of January 
 next. 
 
 N. B. — The Bonds and Coupons will be payable in London. They will be made out in 
 sums of not less than £l(X) each ; and as the Stamp Laws do not apply to Colonial Securities, 
 thev will \}C- " to Beftrev " RV.d \vi!! ho. triinsft'.rnblfl without exnense. 
 
 London, December, 1851.
