TheaireeMity of direct and regular Mean ecensavaiestion
barmen Loudon and British Monk America has Meg been most
seriously felt by the merchants interested ',tilts trade ; the want
of It has for some years pig compelled than to forward large
quantities of valuable goods to ILiool and Glasgow, bscerriest
the heavy wipers of railway transit, and demi* occasioned
thereby, as well ea great unTertainty in the time of shipment.
The large wholesale houses in London, for the ale of every
description of textile fabrics, are especially ',termed la this un-
dertaking, Lag haring Wan lar ths gram
belittles for ffsipment which their rivals in Iganeliesster end
other northern towns possess.
By °akin returns it smears that the total imports and imports
at Montreal were below t 0,000.000 dollars in land, whereas they
resehed in lain nearly 14,0u0,000 dollars. The fact of the trade
being seamy doubled in the space of neves years proves the
ucesaity of more repel and extended communication. while& the
Cal progress in the production of the west all of which district
now seeking a transit through Canada aa being the shortest and
quickest route to Europe shows that the demand for tma
mast steadily improve. It lea well known fact that the existingte:
Imes running to America have been largely remunerative, tt le
therefore conndently believed that ander proper sad economical
management, and with the important intern t. combined to this
undertakieg, a reasonable movements profit will be realised.
A large number of passengers of all erases from the east and
south of goateed and the youtinent of Europe will select thh
route. and add farther to the softer of the Company.
It Is not intende • at present to apply for any postal Wieldy,
as It Is believed the veseele will pay better exempt from rovern

at any tins. daring the wtnter to Portland. the Tenets will be
employed in other trades as circumstances may require and se
may appear advantageous to the Company.
Means have been taken to secure the services of practical men
coammant with the trade, 'ad mraegeasenis will be made with
lams of long experience to manage the shire and their outfits In
