QUEBEC AND TROIS 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 miles. 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 com-
plete.
The masofiry 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 course of de.
livery, as also, the whole of the fencing which is now beiN
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
retail, and 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 tracelling 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
shueddlyfeonunds in the almost entire freedom from. ac-
cident of any kind whatever. Excepting one in-
stance, when the inaperfeet wheel of a goods waggon
broke and damaged four other waggons, with
their contents, there is nothing to record wo, th mention-
ing since the company commenced working the line, and I
sincerely trust we shall, continue to enjoy that immunity
from casnllties 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
bceu spent upon the road, laud, 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 9501. per mile, and yet we are not done.
The' increasing traffic creates a constant demand for ad-
ditional accommodation in stations now in use, and for
now sidings, which the new mills and establishments upon
the line and its vicinity amply justify. This will render
necessary a further supply of rails, &c.
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

Gentlemen,--In 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 in 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 that a very considerable outlay was re-
quired iu 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 can iage stock of the company.
A new station and storage warehouse at Portland were
required, as also the enlarginent and improvement of the
way stations throughout the line ; on about 60 miles of
railway, now sleepers had to be laid down; and there
was no ballast on almost the whole length of the
rail way.
When this company took charge, the amalgamated
stock consisted of 34 engines, 21 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 most 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 25 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., 14 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 cars has been ac-
knowledged, both in Canada and in the United 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 leas 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 wo are now
printing our own tickets, and hope shortly to have the
system in full operation.
An audit department has been organized on the prin-
ciple of the Railway Clearing House in England, through
which all traffic accounts will be passed, and all other
accounts of the company checked. This, as well as the
merchaudize 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
eatire new winter route for Canada; and notwithstanding
our deficiency of engine power, and the defective state of
the line, the 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 70,000 barrels of flour were conveyed over the line
during the winter months.
With reference to the present prospects of the railway
as it is opened up for traffic, my expectations are of the
most sanguine character, and judging in a small degree
from the results of the past six mouths, 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 America.
As yon will have observed, the receipts of the Portland-
road have, during the past half-year, been raised from
ssi,o3o 00 to $lB,OOO 00 per weals ; and I am of opinion
that during the months of July, August, and, September,
this ausou:t will be gre.UY exe-wise, should the ordinary
American so uscr)r travel take plac,!, ! whirls is likely to
be increased by the desire to view the works of the Victoria-
bridge, now becoming so generally known, and causing so
bc,rea,t an interest throughout the whole of this continent
In addition, several large saw mills are in course of erec-
tion, and will o;tortlY pe rodY for work, onn,ble of out:

[PRICE SD.

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 Road 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 all that has been antici-
pated. Apart, however, from the local traffic of the lice,
you will not fail to remember the immense advantage of
such a comninuicatiou bet ween Quebec and Montreal, and
there can be no doubt but that the very.-J•act of a railroad'
running between these two places in mid-winter will in-
duce travel that never has been contemplated.
I now come 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 ou 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 profitable working
of that section of the Grand Trunki-toad 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 season, and it is not too
much to say that two-thirds of all thepersons who land at
Quebec will certainly pass over our road when it is corn-
plated. I also find that the district through which
the
line is carried is so thickly populated that it isimpossible
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 subjoinee
populations :
Lachine—Pcipastion about 1,000.
' StalibiiL;
Ann.— : '
Road to Cedars—Population about 1,500; rising dis,
trict.
New Lollgueuil.
Lancaster—Population about 5,000 ; nearly 15,000 acres
under cultivation.
Charlotteburgh—Population about 6,000 ; quantities
of hardwood, pine, etc.
Cornwall—Population about 4,000; tanneries, and a
large export of potashes.
Osnabruck—Population about 5,000; 25,000 acres cul-
tivated, produce very large.
Williamsburgh—Population about 4,000.
Matilda—Population about 4,000; tanneries, ashes, ex-
ports, etc.
Edwardsburgh—Population about 4,500; maple sugar
refineries, wool factories.
Augusta and Prescott—Population about 8,000:
Elizabethtown and Brockville—Population about 9,000;
Brockville contains 4,000.
Younge—Population about 4,000.

Pittsburgh—Population about 3,000; agricultural pro-
duce generally.
Ernesttown —Population about 5,001
Napanee—Population about 1,000.
Shantiouville.
Bellev:lle—Porm'ation about 4,000; thriving town;
trade of Marmera Iron ‘Perks comes here.
Port Trout—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 hanis; consumption of wool to nearly half
a million.
Port Hope—Population about 3,500; most rising place.
Bond Head.
Bownianville—Population about 10,000; 25,000 acres
under cultivation.
Whitby—Population about 2,000; brewery, tannery,
etc.

Pickering—Population about 7,000; beat settled district
in West.
Scarborough—Population about 4,000.
Scarborough Height.
Total population, about 107,500.
These figures, in themselves, would bo 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 through travel between Montreal and To-
ronto, both p•issen,ers and merchandise, apart from all
local traffic, 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 lino, the
country is populated with the most rising and energetic
class of persons that can possibly be locate in the neigh-
bourhood of a railroad, and that at from different points
the traffic of the interior is brought to our line by rail-
ways now open and in course of construction.
Although I shall not more than allude to the Sarnia di-
vision, I urn not unmindful that this and the districts be-
-1 yond are the points from which we roust receive au amount
of traffic the magnitude of which we can form no concep-
tion of.
Whether as an amalgamated company with our neigh-
bour, the G. Western, or acting as an independent com-
pany, I am convinced that a large amount of the 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 pass 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 which they would be conveyed.
In fine, I may add, that the morel see and hear of the
resources of this country, the more assured do I become of
the absolute necessity of the Grand Trunk line of rail way,
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 now
much satisfaction in bearing my testimony to the proba-
bilityof 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 moat obt. servant,

Montreal, July 24, 1854. _ _

The CHAIRMAN having called the attention of the meet-
ing to the chief features in these reports,
The Hon. GEORGE PEMBERTON stated that he felt
great pleasure in attending this, the first, meeting of the
company, He congratulated the proprietors upon its
financial position and upon the progress already made in
cari-ying forward the magnificent system of railways of
which the Grand Trunk consisted. In reference to one
port of the report, he would observe that he had beard, 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 material,: 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 movi pg. the adoption and confirmation of the report
of the Directors, and of the accounts submitted with
thew. •

Mr. J. B. FORSYTH seconded the motion, which was
carried unanirnrusly.
The CHAIRMAN said, that under the Company's Act,
it was necessary for the shareholders 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 s f 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. W►n. Workman, and Mr. A. Laßocque
were appoilted 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-
natod with a vote of thanks to the President, which was
proposed by Mr. Michael Scott, of Quebec, and carried
by acclamation. The meeting then adjourned.

and immediately beneath this, on either side, the word
" Welcome" was formed in large letters with flowers.
At the top of the side pillars the arms of Rye and Win-

Several members having left town for %Wolverhampton V[«a
; •
races, not a few for the moors and forests in Scotland,
and some to pursue holiday recreations on the Con-
tinent, the attendance this afternoon was very scanty,
and only a limited amount of business was transacted.
Sufficient, howeVer, was done to deprive King Toni of
the lead for the St. Leger, and to place Dervish and the
Trapper first and second. 6to 1 was taken about each
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.—Ia the early part of the
afternoon 7 to 1 vas laid against Heap), 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 e itimation. Towards the conclusion of business
sto 2 was taken in hundreds. Nothing else occurred
worthy of particular comment.
