THE SUN) LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 21)_ leas;

products, so far as we have gone this season, AVM, I feel
convinced, fully account for the non-realisation of the
traffic anticipations recently expressed. Every one at all
conversant with Canadian commerce will understand,
without any attempt on my part at elucidation, that
the success of the Grand Trunk Railway depends mainly
upon the capabilities of the upper section of our province
and the vast productions of the teeming western states
adjoining ; and that had the enterprise in which we are
all engaged and so much interested been commenced at
Toronto, and been worked eastward and westward from
tbat city, with the same energy and tact with which it has
been carried on in this section of the province, I feel as-
sured that the revenue accounts, as submitted to you this
day, would have presented a very different aspect. lam
happy, however, in being able to state to you that it is my
firm conviction, backed as I am by the opinions of Mr.
Ross and Mr. Bidder, that the worst has passed, and
the corner is turned. (Cheers) Althoughour anticipations
have not altogether been realised, I cannot help thinking
that to some extent we can find a cause for congratula-
tion in the fact that since our operations commenced
there has been a steady and gradual increase in our
weekly receipts, and it affords me pleasure to tell
you that the return for the past week was the highest
yet issued, having reached the sum of 6,3941., and
we may therefore confidently hope to show you some
very satisfactory results the next time we meet, as
there can be no doubt that these receipts will go on
increasing in a larger ratio than they have even done
during the past twelve months. (Hear, hear.) I look
to the future with the most sanguine hopes. An un-
precedentedly good harvest has been and is being
gathered in, which, while it supplies a traffic to the com-
pany, is also diffusing a spirit of energy and enterprise
throughout the province; and the opening of the whole
line of road, now promised so much sooner than was ori-
ginally provided, will, I trust, prove that the efforts of
your directors have not been unavailing. I must now
touch upon another point, in which I am sure every one
in the province is more or less interested. Need I say
I allude to the Victoria Bridge ? It is true
that the construction of this gigantic undertaking
will not be proceeded with so vigorously as was
originally intended ; but such suspension, I am glad
to say, is but temporary, it being considered that the
main object contemplated last session, when the provin-
cial Parliament gave an additional guarantee of 90,0001.,
was the early completion of the road. To accomplish
this, then, are all the energies of the company devoted ;
but as the opinion of the president, which consider
exhibits the feelings of the directors generally, on the
subject of Victoria-bridge, may not be known to all
present, with permission I will read an extract from
a speech delivered by Mr. Ross, on the occasion of a
meeting of the English shareholders, held in London
on the 24th of July. (Hear, hear.) "Probably (says
Mr. Ross) the point of greatest interest to the share-
holders in England was the discussion which had arisen
with reference to the Victoria-bridge. It had been
stated by many shareholders that the bridge, as contem-
plated, was a very costly structure, and that if the cost
could be reduced it ought to be. Upon the latter notion he
thought there would be no difference of opinion. When
the contracts for this line were first entered into, the de-
sire was to obtain the construction of that important work
at the least cost, and the opinion prevailed that the prin-
ciple of the Britannia Tube was the best that could be
adopted for a bridge of the vast extent contemplated,
because when once made it required no repairs ; it was
not like a wooden structure which would require re-
building about every ten years, and the application of the
suspension bridge upon wire cables for railway purposes
had not been tried. However, since the erection of the
suspension-bridge across the Niagara River, public at-
tention had been directed to the subject in England, and
the question bad been pretty generally discussed whether
they could not cheapen the coat of the Victoria-bridge.
He held in his hand a memorandum from Mr. A. M.
Ross, the engineer of the company, who paid a visit to
the Niagara-bridge, and had several interviews with Mr.
Roebling, who had superintended the erection of that
bridge, and who, in fact, suggested the application
of the suspension-bridge to railway purposes." The
result was that Mr. A. M. Ross ascertained that the
cost of the superstructure of the suspension-bridge at
Niagara was 651. per lineal foot, whilst the cost of the
superstructure of the Victoria Bridge was only 551. per
lineal foot, making 101. in favour of the principle adopted
by Mr. Stephenson, when be suggested the tube should
be applied to the bridge at Montreal. Every intelligent
person acquainted with the working of railways was
aware of the great importance of having an unbroken
communication between the various sections of the line,
and the loss to such lines as had not unbroken communi-
cation must be apparent to all. There is also another
subject to which I must briefly refer, as one of the ut-
most importance to this company, namely, the probabi-
lity of amicable arrangements with the Great Western
Railway Company being concluded, by which com-
petition will be entirely precluded between these two
great Canadian enterprises. The president and Mr.
Hincks are both negotiating in England these arrange-
ments, and I hope shortly to hear that their efforts have
been crowned with success. (Hear.) Just one word
more. Another gratifying fact I have to communicate
to you is the probability that the " big ship" of 25,000
tons will make her trial trip to Portland, as a prelin
nary step to her being permanently placed upon that
station, should the traffic (which I am sure it will)
demand it. Such an event is of the greatest importance
to the Grand Trunk Railway, and I sincerely hope
that no effort on our parts will be wanting likely to
insure this event taking place ; and, gentlemen, all
things considered, I think I may venture to congratu-
late the shareholders on their prospects. (Hear.) I beg
to move that the report now read, and the accompany-
ing accounts submitted, be approved and confirmed, and
that a copy thereof be sent to each shareholder.

The Hon. PETER M‘GILL seconded the motion, which
was unanimously carried.

' Mr. J. GIBBS moved, and Mr. LEMESTMER seconded :
—" That it is further resolved, that a report, containing
a statement of the affairs of the company, be made half.
yearly, and be transmitted to the London board of di•
rectors, for the information of the English shareholders."
—Carried.

Mr. J. M. GRANT having read the heads of the pro-
posed supplemental contract,
Mr. HUGH ALLAN moves, and Mr. ATKINSON se-
conded—" That the arrangement made with the English
contractors, of which the heads are set forth in the report
read to this meetine., be and the same is hereby approved
and confirmed."—Carried.

The Hon. G. E. CARTIER moved, and Mr. WHITTE-
MORE seconded :—" That the proceedings of the London
directors, in reference to the additional aid offered to
this company under the provincial act 18th Viet., c.
174, be and they are hereby confirmed to all intents and
purposes, and the conditions and provisions of the said
act are hereby accepted."—Carried.

Mr. D. R. STUART proposed, and Mr. ATKINSON
seconded : " That the Hon. John Ross, Hon. F.
Hincks, and B. Holmes, Esq., for the Canada board, and
H. Wollaston Blake, Esq., for the London board, he
re-elected directors of the company."—Unanimously
carried.
The election of auditors was then proceeded with,
Messrs. Allan, Dow, and Bouthillier being unanimouslyelected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated
the proceedingii.

The crops are now nearly all gathered in, and prove
to be the most luxuriant we have had for years. The
reports, as mentioned above, had stimulated trade, and
we fully expect a very- large fall business.

RIFLEMAN" AND THE ST. LEGER.

We quote the following letter and remarks from Bell's
Life:—
Sir,—The bard knocks inflicted upon you by me don't
seem to have made any impressior upon you ; therefore
I think you have nothing to complain of. You retain
your opinion as to the cause of Rifleman's defeat, and
so do I also ; and as it will never come to light in our
time which is the correct one, it must always remain in
doubt. I never attempted to persuade you that Rifle.
man was beaten on his merits. I shall always believe
that when he is quite fit and sound no horse can beat
him of his age, nor any °Utter horse weight for age. It
may appear strange to you, unacquainted with the science
of the veterinary practice, that he was lame imme-
diately after the St. Leger, and sound when he ran on
Friday for the Don Stakes ; but such is the fact, and on
reference to my letter you will find Mr. Spooner can
corroborate my assertion. I told you in my former
letter that I had not the management of Rifleman, there•
fore you ought to put the saddle on the right horse."
A gentleman is always in. the band of his trainer and
jockey and must trust to them, and is not accountable
to the public for their conduct. You ask " whether
the oldest matt on the Tun" ever remembers any horse
of mine winning when I declared. he could not lose?" It
seoms'more strange that 1 never hit the right nail on
the head once in the thirty-five years I have kept race-
horses than that Rifleman's infirmity should fluctuate
in forty-eight hours. I tsm only surprised that, as I
have deceived the public so long, they should trust me
up to the 21st of this mouth, having been asked by
twenty persons whether I thought Rifleman and Claret
would win their engagements this week.—Yours, &c.,
GEORGE OSBALDESTON.

"The Squire" is at last coming round to our way of
th inking, and agrees with ns that Rifleman was not beaten
on' his merits for the St. Leger. This, what we said before,
worepeat, and regret that the real cause will "never come
'to light." We are fully aware that " The Squire" had
not the management of the horse for the St. Leger, and
%,s we never even insinuated that he was privy to his de-
ft sat, ;Mr.. Osbaldeston, especially when he himself
a( lmits there was a cause, ought not to complain of our
giving expression to what was nothing more than
,the
ge `neral opinion. It is no easy task to shat the mouths
of the public, especially when, in discussing Rifleman's
de feat for the St. Leger, his extraordinary performance
in the Criterion, and Claret's still more unaccountable
del bat,by the Poor Player, at Ascot, were comparatively

The Malacca, 17, screw, Capt. Farquhar, arrived yes.
terday morning at Spithead, from Lisbon. She has no
news of interest except the confirming of RoFamond's
account of the festivities and doings in honour of the
young monarch's birthday and corning of age. Grand
dinners and balls were frequent, and a general invitation
was given to the British officers to dine at the palace,
where they were honoured by marked notice from his
Majesty. The ships illuminated and burnt coloured
lights trom the mastheads and yards. Altogether there
has not been such a display or such rejoicing for the last
40 years.

The King and suite came down to Black Horse-square
purposely to view the grand and novel sight of the British
squadron being illuminated. The Sanspareil, 70, screw,
alter having assisted in the honours, sailed on the 19th
for the Black Sea. The Neptune and St. George are
likely to winter at Lisbon.

The Penelope, 18, paddle-wheel frigate, Capt. Sir W.
Wiseman, Bart., left Spithea 1 yesterday afternoon for
Sheerness, to disembark the 91st Regiment.
The Rosamond, 6, Commander Crofton, is expected
back to Spithead, from the eastward, with supernume-
raries and munitions of war, and is likely to sail for the
Blpck Sea immediately.

The Faith steam transport arrived at Spithead yester-
day from Plymouth, and sailed in the evening for the
Thames. The Blazer, No, 20, mortar-vessel, arrived at
Spithead yesterday from the eastward. The Urgent
steam troop-ship, Commander Phillips, hauled alongside
Portsmouth dockyard yesterday to prepare for the em-
barkation of troops for the East.
The sailing-transport Collingwood, 750 tons burden,
has arrived at Woolwich, with the Baalbee, No. 89, 838
tons and 160-horse power, and the Scamandre, 731 tons
and 180-horse power. They have taken up their moorings
off the Arsenal wharf, for the purpose of embarking huts,
carts, winter clothing, and other military appurtenances
and stores for the Laud Transport Corps in the Crimea.
The Jackal], No. 27, screw-transport, left Woolwich
on Thursday with a cargo of about 500 tons of shot and
ammunition and a few guns and gun carriages. She
went down to Greenhithe for the adjustment of their
compasses, and will put to sea thence to-day for the
Crimea.

An experimental 8-inch mortar (rifle bored) will be
tried to-day, from the sea battery fronting the Ex-
cellent, to show if any superiority is gained over the old
mortar in range. The said mortar has been supported
by iron collars, or rings, outside of all. The trial will be
made for the purpose of proving the advantage of the
rifle bore and iron bindings, as described. The rings are
placed over the mortar whilst heated, and as it cools the
iron, as a matter of course, contracts, and is supposed
to be proof against any amount of charge of powder or
plugging.
Yesterday an inspection of Horse Artillery, of six com-
plete batteries and some half batteries, the latter consist-
ing of recruits, under junior instruction, took place on
the common at Woolwich, where some officers and non-
commissioned officers and a portion of each regiment gar-
risoned at Woolwich were likewise paraded, in order to
attract the numerous volunteers who were expected to
join. The Tower Hamlets Militia were likewise mus-
tered for the purpose of giving the men to understand
that they were at liberty to enrol themselves in any par-
ticular corps suitable to their choice. The men were
ordered to march round in slow and quick time. On the
arrival of Col. Wood, of the Guards, from London, the
sergeants formed in a body to the right, and the men
were again deployed, and after a few manceuvres they
halted, and were addressed by Col. Dixon, who spoke
highly of their soldier-'ike qualities, and intimated to them
the superiority the Guards possessed over other re-
giments ; but the Marines on this occasion were the
favoured corps, and received no less than 80 volunteers.
The iron screw steamer Jura will embark about 1,000
troops at LiVerpool on Monday. These will comprise :
Four officers and 89 non-commissioned officers of the
Royal Artillery; 10 or 12 officers and 450 from various
regiments ; Lieut. Potts, of the 11th Hu§sars—all fer the
Crimea, as well as Lieut.-Col. Bacon and ten other offi
cars of the Berkshire Militia ; Capt. Wragg, 8 other
officers, and 280 men of the Royal Artillery ; and 4 offi-
cers and 160 men of the Horse Artillery, for Corfu.
Two regiments of the British German Legion and one
of the British Swiss Legion are expected in Cork from
Hythe. It is believed that they will be draughted to
various garrisons in the county of Cork. _ _

The Westmeath Militia havefurnished numbers of vo-
lunteers for the line. They were open for volunteering five
days, during which time upwards of 200 gave in their
names for her Majesty's regular forces. Only 67 of
these, however, passed the regimental inspection. These
volunteers were thus distributed :-34 for the 88th Con-
naught Rangers, 19 for the 40th, 11 for the 14th, 1 for
