The lengtli of the Great Weatorn Rajlwoy*. is as »'o)Iowh : Main Lim . . —From the City of Hamilton, through the Town of London, to Port VVindHor, opposite Detroit, ... Ift4 miles Eastern Buanch,— From the City of Hamilton to the Niagnra River,... 48 Western Ditto, —From the Town of London to Port Samia, 220 4» 276 The whole course of The Obeat Western Railway lies within the Bntisl. Territory, nnd in traversing the most fertile .md populous portions of Upper Cnnadn, passes through the Niagara, London, Oor«, and other Distriotef. oontaining numerous towns and yiJIngos, with a rapidiv increasing population. " The importance of such a line for national purposes, as well as for provincial interests is obvious ; and it has ensured the favour and support of the Government of Canada. For, at the same time, that The Great Western Railway forms a direct Trunk Lino for the traffic of U,o principal towns nnd districts of Canada with one another, and with the Seat of Government ; it will be the main channel for the stream of passengers and emigration, which flows from iJiis country, to the Western sections of the Province, by the way of the St. Lawrence.t The principal feature, however, of The Great Western Railway of Canada ns a highly Remdnerative commercial ENTERPR,8E,-eonsi8t8 in its uniting this character of a main artery for the local and provincial traffic of Canada, with that of a completing link in the great system of THROUGH communication between the North Western States of America and the Upper Valley of the Mississippi on the one hand, and the ciUes of NewYork and Boston and Uie sea-board of the Atlantic on the other§. ' A rnference to the map will show, that the vicinity of the Niagara River, at the Terminus of the Last^m Branch of the Great Western Railway of Canada, is the focus of the various communications by whH.h the traffic of the interior is conveyed to the Atlantic. Among those channels of communi- cation may bo mentioncd-the Erie Canal,-the New York and Erie Railroad, 400 miles in length irom New York to the Niagara River,-the direct line of Railways from Boston to the same point' ■.00 miles in length,-and various other lines of railroad, which radiate in different directions through the States of New England and New York§. Detroit, opposite Port Windsor, the Western Tominus of the Main Line, is in like manner the focus of the extensive Railway and Canal communications of the North-western States, includinR Michigan, Ilhnois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and tlio upper part of Ohio§. A large portion of these important communications are already completed, und in successful operation. Michigan, for instance, although one of the lotcst settled and least populous of those States has already 700 miles of R.iilway completed or in progress, Amoi.g these, a Main Trunk Line of'sou miles m length, in direct continuation of The Great Western Railway of Canada; from Detroit to New Buffalo, on the Michigan Lake is now open, and has paid highly romunorativo dividends with n rapidly increasing traffic. The stream of traffic between Detroit and the State of New York is at present carried on c-itirrlv by the circuitous and tdangerous navigation of Lake Erie, which is closed during half the year. The importance of this traffic may be judged of from the fact, that upwards of eighty large steamers, averaging ir,Q tons burthen, md whoso estimated cost is M l,.')f;o,000,-a sum exceeding the estimated cost of The Great Western Railway,-are employed on Lake Erie, in addition to upwards of 400 other vessels, of different classes ; and it appears from official return^, that the number o( passengers canied, to and from Detroit airoct, during the season of navigation in Ifi.-.O, ^^as I4«,000, independent of the large numbers carried beyond Detroit, by the Upper Lake Stei^ers which may fairly be estimated at double the number of passengers, landing at, and deparUng from' Detroit. The passage between Detroit and Buffalo, by first class steamers, occupies, under most favourable circumstances, about :»! hours. But the navigation is suspended bv the ine during half the year' while during the lemoiuder, it is liable to frequent interruptions, from the stflrmsH to which l.ako Kri„ i« pecuharly subject. By the Railway, the journey will be perforaed at all Seasons in iwklvk or fourteen hours. There can be no reasonable doubt, therefore, that the Great Western Railway will at once absorb the greater portion of this traffic, and will become, in connection with the system of railway com- munication at cither extremity, the high road for the troffic of the Western States with the Atlantic. * See the anucied Map, No. I. + These DUlrict. comprise the Counties of Halton, WentworUi, Lincoln, HaldimMd, Welland, Norfolk, Middlesex, Oxford Kent, ES..X, Lambton, Huron, IVrll. and Waterloo.
