This road is the connecting link between tiie New York if Erie Railroad and the Great Western of Canada, by which the vast business of the Western States must be carried to New York, and is under contract to bo finished at the same time with the Great Western liaiiroad of Canada. The railroads in western New York, (costing double the iimount per mile at which this road is contracted for,) have divided for several years past 10 per cent, on their stock; and it is confidently estimated that the divide, ida on the shares of this Company will be fully equal to that per eentage, — making the right to convert into stock a very important privilege. This road is also the shortest and most di?^ert route from Niagara Fulls to New York, by upwards of sixty miles. The debentures and interest will be payable half yearly at the banking house of Messrs. Masterman, Peters and Co., in London, on the 15th of April and loth of October.
