GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA. The first meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at Quebec, on the 27th ult. The Hon. John Ross, President of the Company, having taken the chair, Sir C. RONEY proceeded to read the following reports : _ . REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA. The period for holding the first meeting of the share holders of the company having arrived the directors desire to place before them a full report of the progress of the undertaking since its formation. The amalgamation of the several companies now com prised under the title of the ih.and Trunk Railway Com pany of Canada, was completed in July of last year ; im mediately afterwards the necessary stens were taken for issuin g the shares and debentures to the holders of the provincial certificates of the A series of Grand Trunk Shares, and for the conversation into Grand Trunk Shares of the paid up in full shares of the St. Lawrence and At lantic, the Quebec and 'Richmond and th e T oron t o an d Guelph Companies. It may not be inopportune to state here that the system adopted and carried out, with reference to the preparation and issue of these documents, as well as to their regisaa tion and transfer, and to the payment of interest and divi dends on them, is of the most complete and satisfactory character. Immediately after the amalgamation, the necessary organisation of the company in the. traffic department, under the control of Mr. S. P. Bidder, its general ma nager, was ' effected. His report is attached hereto. The system of audit of all receipts from traffic was also brought into operation on the principle of the Lon don Clearing-house—the experience of several years, ac quired in English railways, demonstrating this as .a com plete and effective check on all payments ou account of traffic.. Its working on the section of railway between Portland and Montreal has shown the advantage of its adoption in this country. Arrangements have been made for its extension as the several sections of the Grand Trunk Railway are.completed from time to time. The St. Lawrence and Atlantic and Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railways, forming the line from Portland to Montreal, are 292 miles in length. They were delivered to the company in July, 1853, in a state unfit for working, and the locomotive and carriage stock was equally defi cient. Engagements, however, had been entered into which rendered it necessary to keep the line open so as to get through one train a day during the winter. Notwithstanding the adverse circumstances under which the line was worked, the traffic has gradually increased from 1,641/. 3s. 9d. stg., which it was on the week ending the 7th January last, to 3,6271. Is. 9d. for the last week of the half-year ending 30th ultimo. The total receipts for the half-year were 73,112/. Bs. 2d. stg. To earn that sum an expendiLure of 58,1221. 14s. was incurred. This largo amount for working expenses will naturally attract attention, but it has to be remembered that the railway was kept partially open to fulfil the engagements already referred to, as well at the solicitation of flour and lumber merchants, who had made contracts in the belief and understanding that the railway from Montreal to Portland would be in effective working order during the winter. It must also be borne in mind that the last winter was the Severest known in Canada East for several years, and that, in additi on t o th e s h or t supp l y o f eng i nes and ther rolling stock, there were neither workshops nor tools for the necessary repairs. The half-year just expired, therefore, forms no criterion for the future as regards working expenses. • The line is now in good working order. The ballasting throughout its entire extent is nearly completed. The num ber of engines has been augmented to 64, and more than the ordinary proportion of them is in complete and effec tive working order. The necessary workshops and tools have beeaprovided, and every arrangement has been made or is -in progress for rendering the line capable of con veying as large ea amount of traffic as can be carried one a single line of railway, at or about the ordinary rates of working expenses. Since the .Ist instant, `. Through" trains accomplish the distance each way between Montreal and Portland in 11i hours, and the number of p as s engers carried by them would ave been gr. atly in excess of their present amount, had not the unfortunate prevalence of cholera checked the immense travel from the United States that usually flows into Canada at this season of the year. The ordinary trade of Montreal has likewise been diminished to a considerable extent in consequence of the prevalence of the disease. Although the sea service of the Canadian Steam-Packet Company was not carried on in an effective manner during the past winter, th e exper i ence acquired by merchants ' and others has convinced them of the advantages of the communication ; and there is no doubt that if a. weekly passage were established between England and Canada, and that the sea service were performed with average regu larity in.vessels of large tonnage, the receipts on the line from Portland to Montreal alone would be increased be tween 1,5001. and 2,0001. a week from this source. Up to the date of the last advices from England, the 6th instant, 1,818 8151. sterling had been paid on account of the A series of shares of the Grand Trunk Company and the debe'ntures to which such shares are entitled. 490 8851. sterling have been paid in advance of future calls, a satisfactory proof of the confidence entertained by the English shareholders of the company as an invest ment. It is intended that the next call of 2/. 10s, per share and of la on each class of debentures be made in October next, to be followed by calls fur the same amounts in Feb ruary and June, 1855. Owing to the prospects of a geneiat war in Europe, and the consequent probable depression of all securities, the directors deemed it prudent, during the autumn of last year, to apply to the Provincial Government to grant, under the Guarantee Act 14 and 15 . Vic., cap. 73, sec. 22, the same privileges with reference to the province bonds, to b issued to this company, as had been afforded to other railroad companies in Canada entitled to the guarantee. The Government assented to this proposal, and trans mitted to Messrs. Baring and Glyn, the agents of the pro vince in London, 903,700/, of debentures, with instruc tions that they be issued to such shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railroad Company as paid 40 per cent, on their A shares, and in full on the province bonds to which they are entitled. The amount paid in full on these debentures`to the 6th instant, is 492,3001. stealing. The works completed by the contractors to the 14th instant (at the rate of 40 per cent. on the works to which the debentures apply) have entitled the company to 311,0001., and a furl her amount of 317,5001. is held on account of those sections of the line hitherto known as the St. Lawrence and Atlantic and the Quebec and Richmond Railways. It, therefore, appears that the company have not yet received from the Government the amount of provincial aid to which it is entitled. The de. bentures are, however, in the hands of Messrs. Baring and Glyn for disposal to the shareholders of the Grand Trunk Company under the conditions before stated. Should a larger sum be received by Messrs. Baring and Glyn in payment of these debentures than the amount to The the B series e which the company is entitled on wor k s executed, it will be held by these gentlemen and will be on ly h an d ed over by them to the company, as it become s entitled thereto from time to time, by order of the Governm en t o f C anada. A similar iwedorkinstporoegffreesest. with rr o a f r arrangement debentureswill b be as carried amount of this issue will be 905,8001. In accordance with the arrangement announced by the London board on the 6th May last, the directors have en tered into the following arrangements with reference to the progress of the work :- - --That - they be actively proceeded. from St. Thomas, 40 miles below Quebec (to join the Que bec and Richmond line), and between Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, Guelph, and Stratford, so that the line shall be opened. from Montreal to Prescott, and between Toronto and Stratford, a distance of 210 miles,: in. the autumn of next year, and the other sections giving a total length of 867 miles in October, 1856. The works postponed under this arrangement compre hend 245 miles, and an outlay of about two millions ster- ling.

The directors refer with satisfaction to the full and de tailed report of Mr. A. M. Ross, the company's chief en gineer, herewith subjoined, on the progress of the various works now in course of construction. It cannot fail to be read by the shareholders with the deepest interest. On the subject of the Victoria bridge. the directors de sire to state that its necessity and advantage become daily more apparent. The explicit report of Mi. Robert Stephenson, recently , published, has convinced all persons interested in the sub show rstnee s t ae s h r ec e tdi s, that, ht c i ha c met e sf el yect in an engineering point of view, of its practicability and propriety, and the usal of Mr.oss's report will present mannertimei. which Viewed the in w o relationrks h impressed me r e mp s avetopriots owitahnocuet, thet the largedirectors are and more comprehensiveth a than ever traffic system involved in the construction of the ra ilway, could only b e partially and by comparison ineffectually carried out at a very great cost. Montreal is the terminal point of the ocean navigation connected with the St. Law rence on the one side, and of the great Canadian and tAhme eereicnatninleankte,s,enexttehnediontghe2r. ,00I0t is also the centremilesintothehe f ar r t e o m f which lines of railway at present radiate to Portland, Boston, and New York, and to which lines now in pro gress of construction will converge from the Ottawa and other rich, though as yet, only partially developed districts of Canada. Without the Victoria -bridge the Grand Trunk Railway would, in fact, be two railways, involving the cost and expensive working of two separate plants, whereas by its cdustruction under the perfect system of manaa.e ment-which the directors believe they willubceenittbulpeotnotihne troduce, not only will the immense traifie bgtoßtihtiotfi,aphetrfisornisi and of merchandise which now flows through Montreal o a t s =l o atn g si d o b r i i ti c i o e n t s s7 c e° o olin i e i t v ni i in c n ti e l fwr o iat f ihi th vta e hYe b s oard that hy means of the bridge better, more rapid and cheaper communication will be afforded for the produce of the magnificent districts of Western Canada, and of the North-Western States of America, including Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minisota, lowa, etc., to t Atlantic Sea-board, and for the supply o f these h; districts Con tinent. With re f erence t o th e cos t, it s h ou ld be observed with imported g o od s th a n by a ny o th er route ou this that if its amount be distributed over the whole Grand. Trunk Line, it will add about 1,2001. a mile to the ex pense of construction, making the total cost of the railway (to be finished iu every respect equal to a first class E ng . lish railway) about 9,5001. a mile, which amount includes the necessary locomotives and other rolling stock for work ing the line. In addition, the lines of railway, indepen dent of this company, which converge at Montreal aro about 1,600 miles in length. All these will pay toll to the company to pass their traffic over the bridge, as it must be obvious that it will be cheaper than to ferry the river by steam-boats in sum mer or by sleighs in winter. The directors are happy to announce that the agreement entered i n t o in London between this company and the Great W es t ern Railway Company until 1856 for each to suspen d such portions of the respobtire linos as excited mutual jealousy, has been confirmed by the Cfnada board of that company. In consequence the works on the Great Western line from London to Sarnia, and this company's Sarnia Extension have been. deferred. f The board has. every reason to hope that before the ex piration of the present agreement, terms of a friendly alli ance will, under the decision of Arr. Stephenson, be ar ranged between the two companies, by which?all the evils incident to any apprehendel competition will be avoided. A vacancy h av i ng b een created in the Canadian section of the board, by the retirement of Captain Rhodes, it is proposed to fill up the vacancy by the appointment of H. Le Mesurior, Esq. In accordance with the terms of the amalgamation agreement, the period at which the first election of direc tors shall take place, as al-io.the terms at which the future ordinary meetings of the shareholders of the company shall be held, are to be decided by the present meeting. The election of three shareholders of the company as aulitors is likewise required by the terms of the amalga mation agreement. Certain shares in the Quebec and Richmond Rsilway are now in arrears for calls. A resolution will be submit ted to the meeting to empower the Directors to forfeit such shares two mouths after a notice has been published in the Canada Gazette, and in the other newspapers. The accounts of the company up to the 30th ultimo, are herewith submitted. JOHN Ross, President. • which with the forces employed will soon rise into import ance. • At present, as shown by the Appendix A, there are 1,172 men and 72 horses employed upon this work. Preparations for the construction of the iron-work are proceeding at the Canada Works, Birkenhead, on a scale commensurate with the magnitude of the undertaking under the direction and superintendence of Mr. Stephen. son, and in the course of next year we contemplate the erection of a considerable portion of this part of the work. THE QUEBEC AND RICHMOND SECTION Comes next in order, and with reference to it I have merely to state that every exertion is being made to lay and finish the superstructure of the permanent way, so as to be able to open the line for traffic early in September. The masonry throughout this section is of a very supe rior description, some few of the iron-bridges remain yet to be finished, they are all proceeding with despatch, and I do not anticipate any contingency happening which can disappoint our expectations in this instance. The extension from Hallow Cove to Tibbet's Wharf is proceeding with vigour, and would be much further ad vanced than it now is, but for the delay experienced in procuring the right of way. The passenger station build ing and steamboat landing wharf are being advanced ra pidly ; a corresponding lauding would also have been in a similar state of forwardness on the Quebec side, if the authorities with whom we had to deal for the property had met our applications with promptitude. QUEBEC AND TROIB PISTOLES. I have now to refer to the Trois Pistoles Section, which has been finally located from its point of departure from the Quebec and Richmond Railway to the Rivviere du Loup, 113 mild& Plans of this portion have been duly deposited in the proper offices, as required by the acts and the usual noti :es in reference thereto, published. The right of way has been secured for eighty miles. The construction of the first 40 miles from .the point of departure on the Quebec and Richmond Railway to St. Thomas, was commenced early in the spring, and by this time fully one third of the grading of this length is epm plete. The masonry for the large bridges is progressing, and the ; iron•work for those bridges is finished in England, and we are advised will be sent off as soon as its shipment can be effected. The whole of the ties are provided and in coarse of de livery, as also, the whole of the fencing which is now being erected. The rails about 4,000 tons required for this section are all provided, although only 1,000 tons have yet reached us. The remainder will be forwarded as speedily as ships can be found for their transportation. One thousand one hundred and forty-two men, and 84 horses are now employed upon this section ; and with the exception of two large bridges, the whole of the grading will be completed this season. MONTREAL AND PORTLAND. The works of completion upon this section are so far perfected as to admit of a large reduction of the forces em ployed. Those still engaged are chiefly employed in relaying por tions of the line at either end, where cross bearers are being substituted for the objectionable mode originally adopted ; the disadvantages of which were sufficiently apparent at so early a stage in the construction of the line, as to occasion its abandonment when not more than 20 per cent. of the whole had been completed. In the course of the summer, much of this inferior part of the line will be relaid, mad such works as still remain to be done in drain ing, &c., which the experience of last winter demonstrated to be so necessary will be carried out. The line is now in good and fair running order through out, and nothing in railway travelling can exceed the re gularity with which time is kept by every train. Another no less gratifying proof of the efficient performance of the service of the company, is to be found in the almost entire freedom from ac cident of any kind whatever. Excepting one in stance, when the imperfect wheel of a goods waggon suddenly broke and damaged four other waggons, with their contents, there is nothing to record woith mention ing since the company commeuced wozking the line, and I sincerely trust we shall continue to enjoy that immunity from casualties which it has hitherto been our good for tune to experience. I find, on referring to our accounts, that in the twelve months ending on the Ist instant the sum of 275,0001. ster ling has been expended. One-third of this amount has been spent upon the road, land, and stations • one-third upon the supply of additional locomotive and rolling stock, and the remainder in payment of old contracts and sundry old outstanding liabilities, in the aggregate amounting to nearly 9301. per mile, and yet we are not done. Theincreasing traffic creates a constantqlsmand for ad ditional accommodation in stations now in use, and for now sidings, which the now m ill s an d establ i shments upon the line and its vicinity amply justify. This will render necessary a further supply of rails, dic. Although a great deal has been effected in securing ex tended accommodation at the Portland Terminus—the most important feature in the whole project—there still remains much to be accomplished which is now in active operation. Hence expenditure upon a large scale is still going on, il ,tosetotpraNdveh.ichl wouldwoulil be virtually work toclo s s be done on the line, and the st a ti ons b e t ween M ontreal t e ili the d to and Portland, and the necessary increase at the Portlani Terminus, to be about 15J,000/. sterling. This wont( make the total cost of the line somewhat under 9,0001. pe mile.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your mos obedient servant, (Signed) ALEX. M. Ross, Boginear. ArPENDIX A.

Total med, 13,821; total horses, 1,856. . - Gentlemen,—ln presenting my report of the operations of the line between Montreal and Portland, during ,the past year, it will be necessary, for the information of the shareholders, to state briefly the condition in which we found the property on taking possession of it in July, 1853. The directors of the two companies, namely, the St. Lawrence and Atlantic (from Montreal to the American frontier), and of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence (from the American frontier to Portland), anxious it appears to secure the summer traffic of 1853, opened the 47 miles between Sherbrooke and Island Pond, which completed the through communication to Portland in a very imper fect state; so much so, that it became necessary iu October to close it again, except for one train in the middle of the night. A general survey having been made of the line and sta tions • it was seen th a t a very cons i derable outlay was re quired in new works to accommodate the through traffic, the equipment of the lines having been confined by the former companies to the local traffic only. The most im portant of these works consisted of new sidings, water tanks, a new goods warehouse and the necessary work shops for the repairs and maintenance of the locomotive and carriage stock of the company. A new station and storage warehouse at Portland were required, as also the enlargment and improvement of the way stations throughout the line ; on about 60 miles of railway, new sleepers had to he laid down ; and there was no ballast on almost the whole length of the railway. When this company took charge, the amalgamated stock consisted of 34 engines, 24 first class cars, 9 second do., 15 baggage do., 172 freight cars, 265 platform do., 22 ballast do. Of these, 4 engines, 11 freight cars, 23 platform cars were scarcely worth repairing, and moat of the remaining engines, and a considerable number of the cars required a thorough repair: The new stock contracted for by the old companies, comprised 23 engines, 5 first class cars, 292 freight cars, 73 platform do. To meet the requirements of the line, an additional number has been added, and the total stock for working this section of the grand trunk system, is composed of 64 engines, 34 first class cars, 15 second do., 471 freight do., 419 platform do., 17 baggage do., 45 ballast do., 1.4 snow ploughs. _ . - The system—if system it may be called—adopted by the old companies for keeping the accounts and working the line was so defective, as to render it necessary to put aside all their traffic books, papers and forms, and to print and to bring into operation a complete new set. The practise of selling tickets in the ears has been ac knowledged, both in Canada and in the Uuited States, to be a deeply rooted evil ; and as a first step to put it down on this line, we commenced to charge 25 cents more for tickets purchased in the cars. This has had the desired effect to a great extent : much less money being now taken by the conductors than formerly. The right to use the ticket system known as Edmond son's, which has been adopted by every company in Eng land, has been secured for the Grand Trunk Railway ; the necessary machines have been provided, and we are now printing our own tickets, and hope shortly to have the system in full operation. An audit depart m ent has been organized on the prin ciple of the Railway Clearing House in England, through which all traffic accounts will be passed, and :dl other accounts of the company checked. This, as well as the merchandize departments, are presided over by gentlemen of many years experience on English railways. After the close of the navigation last year, the screw steamers ran between Liverpool and Portland with pas sengers end goods, thus opening up for the first time an entire no w winter route for Canada; and notwithstanding our deficiency of engine power, and the defective state of the line, th e traffic of these vessels has been conveyed with a despatch which has given general satisfaction. To show the importance of this new route for Canadian produce to the eastern market, it will be sufficient to state that 70,00 J barrels of flour were conveyed over the hue during the winter months. With reference to the present prospects of the railway as it is opened up for traffic, toy expectations are of the most sanguine character, and Judging in a small degree from the results of the past six months, I think I am war ranted in stating that the Grand Trunk Road, as it be comes developed, will have a traffic equal, if not superior, to any line of railway on the continent of Arneriea. As you will have observed , th e receipts of the Portland road have, during the past half-year, been raised front $ ;,0)0 00 to $lB,OOO 00 per week ; and I am of opinion that during the months of July , August, and Septemb er , this b e greatly exceeiled:Lns,hlowulhdiethheisolrikdeinlyaitiy: this amount American summer travel take place, be increased by the desire to view the woi ks of the Victoria bridge, now becoming so generally known, and causing so great an interest throughout the whole of this continent.•ln addition, several large saw mills are in course of erec capable of cut. tion, and will shortly be ready for work, / [PRICE si). ting 200,000 feet of lumber per day and several others are likewise in contemplation. The engineer's report will inform you that the Quebec and Richmond Load will be open for traffic the first week in September. The local traffic of this line, as you are aware, will not, for some time to come, be an important item in our re ceipts ; but the through traffic from Quebec to Montreal and Portland, especially during the close of the navigation, will assuredly be equivalent to that has been antici pated. Apart, however, from the local traffic of the line, you will not fail to remember the immense advantage of such a communication bet•veen Quebec and Montreal, and there can be no doubt but that the very fact of a railroad running between these two places in mid-winter will in auce travel that never has been contemplated. I now cou,e to speak of the line West of Montreal, but my observations in this report must be confined to repeat ing the expectations I have already expressed. Indeed, it would be uncalled for on my part to say more at present than to state, from the experience and knowledge of the country I have acquired since my residence in Canada, that in my anticipations concerning the pr.-Stable working of that section of the Grand Trunk Road are more sanguine • than ever. Daily does some fresh proof arise of the neces sity and advantage of railway communication between the eastern and western portions of the province. Emigration alone, the amount of which is illimitable, will furnish an increasing source of traffic to the railway. Upwards of 30,000 emigrants have already passed through Canada on their way to the far west this seasm, and it is not to& much to say that two thirds of all the persons who land at Quebec will certainly pass over our road when it is com pleted. I also find that the district through which the line is carried is so thickly populated that it is impossible for us, at this present time, to estimate the great amount of traffic which this district of Canada will furnish to the railway. On referring to some statistics relating to• Canada, between Montreal and Toronto, I find that, leaving out these cities, as well as Kingston, the following districts, in which we shall have stations, contain the subjoined populations : Lachine—Population about 1,000. St. Clair. St. Ann. Road to Cedars—Population about 1,500; rising die trict. New Longuenil. Lancaster—Population about 5,000 ; nearly 15,000 acres under cultivation. Charlottoburgh—Population about 6,000; quantities of hardwood, pine, etc. Cornwall—Population about 4,000; tanneries, and a large export of potashes. Osnabruck—Population about 5,0,0; 25,000 acres cul tivated, produce very large. Williamsburgh—Population about 4,000. Matilda—Population about 4,000; tanneries, ashes, ex ports, etc. Ed wardsburgh—Population about 4,500; maple sugar refineries, wool fac`ories. Augusta and Prescott—Population about 8,000. Eliz ibethtown and Brockville—Population about 9,000; Brockville contains 4,000. Younge—Population about 4,000. Leeds Lansdown } Population about 5,000. Pittsburgh—Population about 3,000; agricultural pro duce generally. Ernesttown—Population about 5.000. Nspanee —Population about 1,000. Shannonville. Belleville—Population about 4,000; thriving town; trade of Marmora Iron Works comes here. Port Trent—Population about 1,000 ; lumber traffic. Colborne. Grafton—Population about 1,000; plenty of grist mills. Port Cobourg—Population about 5,000; cloth factory employing 200 han ; consumption of wocl to nearly half a million. Port Hope - -Population about 3,500; most rising place. Bond Head. Bownianville—Population about 10,003; 25,000 acres under cultivation. Whitby-Population about 2,000; brewery, tannery, etc. Pickering—Population about 7,000; best settled district in West. . Scarborough—Population about 4,000. Scarborough Height. Total population, about 107,500. These figures, in themselves, would be sufficient to war rant my saying that this division of the line could not fail to be profitably worked ; and in addition, the constant and increasing throu g h t rave l between Montreal and To ronto, both passengers and merchandise, apart from all local trafc, would almost, in itself, prove remunerative to the shareholders. It must likewise be remembered that for many miles back, for the whole length of the line, the country is populated with the most rising and energetic class of persons that can possibly be located in the neigh bourhood of a railroad, and that .at from different points the tratlic of the interior is brought to our line by rail ways now open and in cour s e o f cons t ral ti on. Althoughl shall not more than allude to the Sarnia di vision, lam not unmindful that this and the districts be yond are the points from which we must receive an amount of traffic the magnitude of which we can form no conc,p tion of. Whether as an amalgamated company with onr neigh boar, the G. Western, or acting as an independent coin puny, I am convinced that a largo amount of tho bread stuffs of Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin, and a portion of Illi nois, which now find their way to the sea-board by water and by the United States lines of road, must rilss over the Grand Trunk, not only on account of its being the cheap est and most direct route, but also because of the less num ' ber of handlings these goods would have, and the conse quent extra rapidity with Nvhi,h they would be conveyed. In fine, I may add, th it the more I see and hear of the resources of this country, the ►nore assured do I become of the absolute necessity of the Grand Trunk line of railway, and in proving its necessity I cannot but prove also its pe cuniary profit to the shareholders. Although, on my first arrival in Canada, I had my doubts as to the earnings be ing as large as estimated in the prospectus, I have uow much satisfaction in bearing my testimony to the probe bility of the amount therein stated being realized, and that too within two or three years from the date at which a through communication shall have been established between Sarnia, or some other point in that district, with Portland and Quebec. I am, gentlemen, your most obt. servsnt, ' (Signed) S. P. BIDDER. Montreal, July 24, 1854. The CHAIRMAN having called the attention of the meet ,ng to the chief features in these reports, The Hon. GEORGE PEMBERTON stated that he felt great pleasure in attending this, the fir-t, meeting of the company. He congratulated the proprietors upon its financial position and upon the progress already made in carrying forward the magnificent system of railways of which the Grand Trunk consisted. In reference to one part of the report, he would observe that he had heard, by the last mail, that 65 ships were either loading in Eng land or were already on their way to Canada, with iron and other materials for the construction of the railway. This was in addition to the large amount that had already been received by the spring fleet. He concluded by moving the adoption and confirmation of the report of the Directors, and of the accounts submitted with them. Mr. J. 11. FORSYTH seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said, that under the Company's Act, it was necessary fo r th e s h are h olders to decide at this meeting the time at which the future meeting of the company should be held. It was then determined that the meetings should take place annually on the Ist Wednesday in September, and that at the meeting to be held in September, 1855, one third of the members of the Canadian Board should re tire, one-third in 1856, and the remaining third in 1857 —the retiring directors to be eligible for re-election. Mr. H. LeMesurier, of Quebec, was elected a director in the room of Captain Rhodes, resigned ; and Mr. W. Molson, Mr. Wm. Workman, and Mr. A. Laßocque were appointed Auditors of the company. A resolution. empowering the directors to forfeit cer tain shares of the late Quebec and Richmond Company in arrear, having been passed, the proceedings termi nated with a vote of thanks to the President, which was proposed by Mr. Michael Scott, of Quebec, and carried by acclamation: The meetinz then adjourned. TRIUMPHAL RECEPTION OF Ma. JEREMIAH SMITH AT RTE.—On Weduesday last Mr. Jeremiah Smith returned to his native town, after suffering incarceration for a period of six months, and was received by his friends and neighbours with every demonstration of rejoicing. fr s return A. few days previously, when the information reached Rye that he had been liberated a council meeting was town called, and it was resolved that the the y station. This was made known throughout the l mayor od still held him, council should welcome him et! nrnhome, and mark the high Estimation in wh ic railwayi by publicly receiving him at town and neighbour thre hood by means of bills, and a g eneral holyday was de• termined upon. Business was entirely suspended, th e shops were closed , and young and old of both sex , s turned out in holiday attire to welcome home th e i r l ate mayor. The country around supplied a large additi on to the multitude. Between 300 and 400 of Mr. Smith's labourers were in readiness to receiv e th e i r as soon as the train should ar r i ve. These employer w,re all dressed in their white frocks, and each wo re a blue ribbon and a rosette. A. large num her of farmers came in on hor eback, and took up a position in the railway yard, which was completely filled by persons anxious to welcome hint home with loud huzzas. The who!e town presented an appearance of unparalleled gaity ; triumphal arches and banners greeted the eye at every turn. Over the entrance gates at the railway station two splendid arches were thr .wn, the evergreens being beautifully interspersed with flowers culled from the gardens of Mr. Smith's friends. The arches were surmonnted by a large cro aei in the centre, and immediately beneath this, on either side, the word •‘ Welt; mie" was formed in large letters with flowers. At the top of the side pillars the arms of Rye amid Win ehelsea were placed, anti a very imposing eife,:t was produced. From Mr. Peacok's store to the railway 10 , 14 e another arch spanned the road at a right angle with those above described. This also bore the word " Welcome " in large yellow letters on red canvas. Immediately opposite to this arch, and stretching across the street from the front of the Railway and Commercial Hotel a banner was suspended. and the motto which it bore, " May the cause of the people prosper," doubtless was fervently responded to by the people present, a large number of whom was of that class who live by the sweat of their brow. By the side of the above•named hotel was a large blue banner, bearing " Long life to Jeremiah Smith,' in gold letters. Mr. Smith, who was accompanied by Mr. Mackinnon, the member for Ry e , was enthusiastically cheered in 1, progress to the George Hotel, w h ere h e a dd res sed the people from the balcony. Quebec, nil July, 1854. TO TER DIRECTORS OF THR GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY GENTLEMEN,— In view of the approaching COMPANY : meeting, I .have to report for your information, and that of the proprietary, the progress your which has been made in the prosecution of Works of this great under taking. half-yearly In doing this, my statement must necessarily be confined to dry details, perhaps uninteresting and uninstructive, excepting to those few, who from their position as direc tors and trustees, are naturally expected to evince a more than ordinary desire for the most full and authentic infor mation, connected with. the great trust 'confided to their charge. ani - on - this occasion more than ordinarily anxious to fulfil this duty, as many unfounded and injurious reports have been spread abroad, and industriously circulated, respecting the progress made in the execution - lof the works of this most important enterprise. I shall therefore pro ceed to lay before you a detailed account of what has been done on the different divisions of the line, and the means now employed in carrying on the work. MONTREAL AND TORONTO SECTION'. . It will be in the recollection of the board, that the spring of last year advanced before we were in a position to com mence operntions in the preparatory field works necessary for our guidance, these were prosecuted with vigour and the surveys completed in convenient sections, were duly deposited in the proper Government offices to such extent, as enabled the contractors in August of the last year, to proceed in acquiring the land and making the necessary arrangements for prosecuting the works. In the meantime further deposits of plans have succeeded eaCh her; the whole of th e surveys are now perfected and deposited, these give a result of 333 miles, as the length of the line between the termini at Montreal and Toronto. I have now to report, that the land has been purchased for 250 miles of this length, as well as for that required for the terminal stations at Montreal and• Toronto, and all the intermediate stations along the whole length of the section, amounting in the aggregate to nearly 3,50 j acres. The re maining 83 miles, which will comprise about 1,000 a cres, may be acquired as soon as circumstances may seem to justify. Exorbitant sums have been paid for the laud 'at both the terminal stations, and at many of the intermediate stations, also, in addition to being obliged in many in stances to purchase a far greater quantity than the require ments of the railway demanded. The land generally with some few exceptions, in addition to those instances already stated, has been obtained upon terms which have not dis appointed our expectations, and I do not anticipate that the any cause for c o q i pl ain t. portion still rema i n i ng t o b e acqu i re d w i ll l eave much, if With the view'of completing the Eastern end ofth.l line s frm in o al l ll a l e o ct n i t o r n e a o l f th the B r w ° e c Whitby, about 35 miles, by the autumn of n ex t y ear , f orces .4 1E t v o i r • L a i e e , o a d b , about mll2 Torontom i l es e , o a s n t d w a a l r s d o t a o to a large a moun t have been from t , ie earliest commence• r t n o e i n o t of the trto gm more o as t o h n a o regularly ord ioZ : y e ; x p e l r o t y i e o c o l , forand t h a e t e a r ta ry i olot point o t of this object, every means is being taken to expedite the work. The greatest of such points occurs, as you are aw'mre, at the crossing of the river Ottawa, at St. Ann's and Vau dreuil, where the bridging extends to nearly 2,203 feet in length, and up on th e masonry and works connected there with ; there are now employed 949 men and 109 horses ;in addition to this, nearly the whole of the ironworks for this structure, which constitutes one half of the cost of the bridge has been completed in England and is now shipped. Without referring to any other particular work beyond the one I have already specified, which is the largest and most important feature of the whole section, I would beg to draw attention to the appendix A; which clearly shows the amount and distribution of the forces now employed, this you will find upon the 147 miles now in active opera tion, gives an average of 50 men and 8 horses per mile. Upon the middle division at Kingston, where such works only are being proceeded as require most time to complete, 650 men and 50 horses are employed. The com pletion of this division of the lino being deferred to one year later than the sections at either end, no larger force than that now employed is necessary. You will observe in the appendix there are 7,600 men, and 1,200 horses employed between Montreal and Toronto, whose operations .re principally coutieed to about one half of the lin e ; an d o f this 630 wen anti 6 , -1 horses . are at Moutrea , , ts of one thousand mii es o f railway, eon future mquireinen employed in , e:hrriychinag,-,..ondtoliseig Nnveotiikosnofathsecaslteatitoon tibueielt,litnigies m verging at this centre. H av i ng thus enumerated the amount of forces cm ,loyed in prosecuting the works of the sections now proceeding with, I shall briefly state the amount of work already aocomplished ; which I shall de scribe by commencing with the rails. Of 15,000 tons of rails required, there have been re ceived 9,452 tons, and 4,448 tons in addition have been shipped and may shortly be expected. There are, also. 6,000 tons more provided, which await the departure of the September fleet from England, when the whole will have been sent off. Of 314,00 J ties required, there are 208,000 provided. Of 150 miles of fencing, there are 55 miles completed, and the whole of remainder provided. 44 miles are already graded, and the remainder are being proceeded with in full force. The culvert and bridge masonry are advancing in due proportion at every point where needed most, and in every instance will, I believe, keep pace with the other works. It ia intended to get in the foundations for the station buildings, at Montreal throughout the season, these extend: to an aggregate length of 4.000 f eet, in sundry b u ildi ngs, varying from 40 to 90 feet in width, Boise of which are two stories in h e i g ht , and co n , ist principally of passenger stations, goods w are h ouses, locomotive erec ting shops, shops. stables, car erect i ng shops, smiths, and foundry • It is proposed to complete the car and smiths shops this season,so so as tad dmit of commencing the construction of rollin stock which is to be built 'upon the pre na i T s e h:: locomotive The remaining r o wer isbuildings being being so far prepared this autumn, will be readily advanced to completion next year. ro of •the Canada Works, Birkenhead, P wh P e a r r e e the bridge iron work is also constructing, and --- Upon these 630 artisans are now employed. Considering the magnitude of the 'ens in which we thi d s , in establishment are engaged, and the manyadverseoperati incident i, bceirincugmasbtlannactese England, at every reason for elation,congrat to a country devoid of all and • • for e very flexible appliance carrying out large works, I think, on the whole, we have the first twelve months' .Aerations to render a statement showing nearly 50 per cent, of the task. the end nf now n hand ac complished, moreover, the progre now making l with the forces einployel, will at the closes advance the works of gradin g to of the present leave the completion, and leave little more to do in the ensuing year, th w an t lay an finish the superstructure of th e permanent way, for hich, d th in e meantime, every appliace will be mply provided. TORONTO AND SARN I , nec . On the western section beyond l ' Toronto, will be in the recollection of the Board, that all works West of St. Marfa, '69 miles from Sarnia, have been in abeyan ce , beyond this point nothing has been done, cue pting the completion of the surveys, and securing the right o f way. The works of construction between Toronto and St. • Mary's, 99 miles, have made considerable progress, and at present the contractor's operation s are confined to the dis trict extending from Toronto to Stratford, 89 miles. I find in the returns furnished to me by Mr. Walter Shanty, my resident assistant in that district, that there are one thousand nine hundred and thirty men employed upon the work, th.s gives an average of about 22 men to the mile, and considering the amount of eitathwork yet to do upon this section ? I deem an increase of the forces em .ployed in that district advisable. The masonry is as far forward as can be desired, and in 'every way satisfactory. The supply of permanent mate rials, such as 'tress-ties, fencing, and rails, as yet,onl roach 33 per cent. of the required amo unt. y These, however, are but temporary drawbacks which can be soon overcome, an d by the end of the season, I have good reason for believing, tbat the results will be iu every ont the whole o • Way so.ti•tactory through .. f this section. Every disposition • • is evinced by the contractors to meet our wishes in this re peat, and, I am advised that every arrangement is made for the immediate supply of all the rails required.

The quarries at Polite Claire provide stone of superior quality an d di mensions; having been in operation for the last 8 or 9 months, very large quantities of stone have been provided and prepared for setting in the works. Wharves have been constructed ou the St. Lawrence, in the vicinitj of the quarries, and railways are laid down to facilitate the shipment of the stone. The contractors have also provided two very powerful new steamboats, with a fleet of barges built expressly for the purpose, which are designed to carry the atone to the site of the bridge. These are now in active operation, and peroaaneut progress will very rapidly begin to appear, SPORTING INT.PZUGINC.B. """' " RSALL' 74 -17.ESTERDA.T. Several memberr having left town for Wolverhampton races, not afe - --r the moors and forests in Scotland, and eome to pursue holiday recreation s on the Col2* tinent, the attendance this afternoon was very scanty, and only a limited amount of business was transacted. Sufficient, however, was done to deprive King Tom of the lead for the St. Leger, and to place Dervish and the Trapper first and second. 6to 1 was taken about emit of the two, and 7 to 1 laid against the King ; 700 to 100 and 350 to 50 were the last bets booked against him. Even money to 2001. was laid between the Trapper and Dervish. The investments outright in favour of Dervish exceeded 1501. ; those on the Trapper were to a comparatively small sum. • Scythian was backed for upwards of 1001. at 10 to 1, and 16 and 15 to 1 were taken in ponies, and tens about the Knight of St. George. Acrobat took a turn, and was again in force. 2,000 to 120 was booked in one bet. Other transactions at 15 and 16 to 1 were also jotted down. GREAT EBOR HANDICAP.—In the early part of the afternoon 7 to 1 wis laid against Heapy to 1251., but after it was made known that Newbold had won the Wolverhampton Stakes, comparisons were instituted with regard to the running for the Goodwood Stakes, and Heapy in the course of a few minutes rose amaz ingly in estimation, Towards the conclusion of business sto 2 was taken in hundreds. Nothing else occurred worthy of particular comment. CLOSING PRICES. GREAT EBOR HANDICAP. 5 to 2 agst lleapy (takeu freely). 10 to 1 agst Tros (taken). ST.
