E. «Cons increased for lumber operations— more regular employment for the mercantile navy — and a closer connection with thI'arontCountry.constantly exhibited, to the dullestcapacity, as pre-eminently advantageoustoboth J— and since the Prospectus vt' the SSth February was issU'iil, t!ie Committee have the gratification to announce that the Provincial Government has liberally responded to their application for a free Grant of Land in aid of this great undertaking, by placing the Crown Lands for ton miles on each side of the road for the whole distance through which it shu'l pass ^ the disposal of the Imperial Government for that purpose; as well as a free right of way for the road and stations ■ .ugh all private property, retiuiring to be purchased, together with a guarantee of £20,000 sterling, per annum, for interest on the capital to be expended. The New Brunswick Government, according to public documents, have munificently made a corresponding Grant of the Crown Lands for ten miles on each side of the road, and a guarantee of £20,000 per annum; and tlie Government of Nova Sootia also a similar grant of five miles on both sides of the road,:and £20,000 per annum. Thus £60,000 Stg. is granted for the yearly interest on the capital expended, should inadequate trafiic returns require it, besides the princely Grants of Land to the Company. The Committee therefore appeal with redoubled confidence to their fellow-subjects to appreciate the efibrts made for their immediate and indirect welfare, by participating, according to their means, in the benefits which will amply return to them on its completion; whif-h will bring this Capital within thirty hours journey of the Atlantic, and multiply advantages too numerous to be detailed in a Prospecti;s. The Committee feel confident, that with efficient management, the amount agreed to be called for will be ample to complete a single Line of Rail-road in a substantial and proper manner. The Coal Mines over which the Rail- road will run, offer facilities ana inducements for tiie extension of the capital, which the Directors will increase as required, with the consent of the Shar. Holders, and the Scrip will bo made at all times available. A daily Mail and Passenger Train will be established from Montreal, Quebec, and Fredericton, to Halifax and Chedabucto Bay; whence a line of Steamships will run weekly to Ireland, Milford Haven, or Liverpool; thus linking this road, as the GREAT HIGHWAY of North American intercourse, with Great Britain and the whole of Europe: and as the rail-cars shall brighten its iron surface by the acceleration of compensating rapidity, so will the chain of friendship b« m ns sti tfa dc M P' or yt at of Ri er Ti be strengtheued between the Old Country and the New, by increasing and corresponding mutual benefits. A constant market will be open for ahipmcnta to and from Great Britain, the West Indies, and all other larts of the world ; IIS well as to settlers along the Line. Since the examination of the country for this Line of Road commenced, an enterprising Company has con- structed an admirably-finiylied Lino of iron Rnil-rond to St. Ilyacinthe, on thu way to Portland, being 30 miles of the proposed distance for this roadj which, opened at Christmns, has been daily worked to profitable advantage, demonstrating to the most incredulous, that even the snow and rigour of a Canadian winter will not prevent a regular Mail and Passenger Troin. To disburse preliminary expenses, the oortiflcates of allotment of Shares will be two shillings and sixpence each, payable to the Committee; and one pound per share must be paid to one of the Banks above mentioned, of which one month's notice will be given by the Directors; and, as it is intended for the outlay to embrace a period of five years, not more than one pound per share will be called for, each three months. / pplications for Shares (post poid) are requested to be made to tho Committee, at their Office (for the present) at St. Lawrence Hill, corner of Fortification and St. Lambert Streets, Montreal, where the Book of Enregistration of Shares will bo open daily from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
