Detroit, November 1843.

!3l Combineb eflbrt is now making along the Southern District of Upper Canada, at
BuiTdlo and Eastward towards Boston, at Boston and at t!iis place, to effect tho construction of the "Niagara &. Dr.TRorr Rivkrs
Railhoai.,"" from opposite Buffalo to opposite Detroit; so as to unite 'he Central Railroad running West from De'ioit, with Ih.i
Boston Railroad running East from Buffalo, by the shortest line.

Committees and Agents are now cngagedat the points above referred to, in obtaining subscriptions to the stock. In furtlicrance
of this object, and co-operating with others, the undersigned Committee of Detroit request you to act as a Coinniittcc for the same
purpose, at the place and in the neighborhood where you reside.

They refer you for more particular information on the subject, to the inclo.-ed Prospectus, Report, and Subscription List.
The limited number of printed Char'crs of the Niagara fa. Detroit Rivers Railroad within reach of the Committee, puts it out of
their power at tins moment to send one to you; but its principal features are these: That it is perpetual; That the Directors
regulate the,.- own tolls; I'hat tliere are no disabilities as regardj foreigners liciJing thu s.eck or managing the Road.

It w.ll bo seen by reference to the heading of tiie subscription list, that unless the Charter is extended, which is confidently
expected to be done at the ensuing session of the Provincial Parliament, the subscriptions will not be required. The shares being
(sS.25 each, and payf.blo through a long interval, it is designed to make the stock taken in Canada and the t'nited States a popular
stock, in the sense and wiih the intention rather to interest the greatest number of persons, than to have the stock absorbed by a
few. A nart <.'i the stock is reserved, to include besides all untaken in this country, to be placed on the London Stock Exchange;
where, as.-uiiimg a known value, the stock certificates in this country may at any time be converted into money at any Banking
House or Exchange Office.

It IS believed by all who have interested themselves in, or paid any attention to this project, that it will produce these results:
1st. That it will pay better than any Railroad Stock in America.
2c'. That it can never be interfered with by any competition.

ad. That by its short and straight line, its low grade, and its consequent adppt Uion to the greatest celerity of motion, it will
cause a connexion with itself of the New York k Erie Road by a branch from Horn lls-.ille to Buffalo.

4th. That it will eithe' :ause a connexion with itself, of the Groat Western Railroad of Canada; or cause that road, the stock
of which is taken up, to take the ground proposed to be occupied by this.

."ith. That it will press the Central road of Michigan to completion with a T. rail.

r.th. That these results will reduce the freight tolls on the Central road more than one-half; and by putting Western men at
all times within reach of the great Eastern markets, both for sale and supply, enable them to conduct their business with a greatly

diminished ca[>ital.

We have the honor to be, very respect ''illy, your obedient servants,
