I which some of

the leading and influential gentlemen. of Portland were
appointed a committee to raise capital, correspond with the
promoters of the enterprise in England, and forward the
interests of the company. Mr. W., after detailing other
advantages by making Portland the terminus, adverted to
the advantage of making Halifax a port of call ; and, to
show the interest that the merchants of Halifax take in this
line, he had received, last mail, a written agreement entered
into between forty-five of the largest importers, and Messrs.
B. Wier and Co., of Halifax, to support the line of steamers
at the rate of freight and passage put for ward in the adver-
tisement. Perhaps it was not generally known in this
country, that the government of Nova Scotia had undertaken
to construe' railroads to connect with some of the other
provinces. The line of railway from Halifax to Windsor,
at the head of the Bay of Fundy, will be completed in June,
1857. Passengers could then be conveyed from Halifax to
S 6 John, N. 8., in about eight hours. Another line of
railway is also in course of construction, which will bring
Prince Edward Island within a few hours of the fine harbour

- -
of Halifax, open all the year. He thought it reasonable to
expect that aid from the government of No a Scotia would
be granted to this company, as it would be held as good
policy to stimulate a company in its infancy, that would
bring goods and passenger traffic to the lines of railway,
from the traffic of which a portion of the revenue of the
province will be derived. In making NewfAndland a tort
of call he might be allowed to say that, as a Nova Scotian,

lanifesteu 1

le could perhaps appreciate better than a person born in
.his country, the desire so lons - .urfoundland
'or dirt-et communication with

limself to the highly respectable gentlemen of Newfoundland
hen present—and

he could say on behalf of
wee gentlemen associated with him in this country—that
their desire was to give Newfoundland direct steam eem•
unication, in proof which he had, as well as several gentle-
nen in England .and America, at ,consideralle pecuniary
esponsibility, resolved upon opening and pushing forward
be line ; and he was pleased to say they had not been

direct line of steamers would open up, an effort st,ould now
be made to induce the Legislature of Newfoundland to grant
a very much larger subsidy than h d hitherto been offered.
Newfoundland would do well to follow the good policy of
Canada in this respect; and he felt .assured that she would
now act promptly, and not neglect the effort, made for her

interests, Capital to carry out the enterprise , had been
liberally offered in America and this country ;
hut he considered unity of purpose of the people
of the different ports of more importance to ensure
is success. For that, he and his friends had been
labouring, and with pleasing results. He wished to say a
few words as to the speed of the boats intended for the line.
It is well understood that great speed and large carrying
capacity on the tonnage could not be combined in the same
ship, and he hoped Newfoundland would be satisfied with

boats making the pas,
days homeward. He ci

f the r

-sonese, then present, Messrs, James
Alexander, who also having a Drac!ical

luirements of the tradefrom— a previous

residence.in the coloilies have cordially, and without regard
to expense, endeavoured to meet- his views in putting the
Khersonese in the very efficient condition she now presents,
and he trusted, with the experience of Captain Powell, the
commander of the ship, and his gentlemanly bearing, that
the voyage would not only be a safe one, but be as agreeable
as it was possible to make it.—Mr. Brown, from Newfound-
land, said they had the inclination and the ability to support
a line of steamers to St. John's, and proceeded, somewhat
humourously, to prove that though they had been
slighted hitherto, they were now determined to show
that they were worthy of consideration, and whether,
individually or through the legislature, they would assert
their rights to a line—as to himself, he had waited three
weeks to take passage per the Khersonese.—The Hon. Mr.
Fox, M.P., of Newfoundland, in proposing the health of
the owners of the Khersonese, in forcibly terms endorsed
the sentiments of his Newfoundland friends in their anxiety
to support a line of steamers, and their determination to use
every exertion to accomplish this object. —Mr. Alexander,
one of the owners.of the Khersonese, replied briefly, to the
effect that, if the efforts (which he did not doubt) of the
Newfoundland speakers equalled their eloquence, and the
Halifax and Portland people equally responded, these
steamers would certainly be maintained on the line to the
advantage of those ports and the profit of the company:—
The speeches and toasts were now interrupted by the report
that the steamers was rapidly going out to sea, and it was
for those not taking passage to retire to port, which they
aid, in a steam tender, after giving three hearty cheers as
the vessels separated.
