This Company is established under an Act of the Parliament of
Canada, 8 Vic. c. 25, royal assent 17th of March, 1845, fir the pur-
pose of forming a Railroad from the city of Montreal, the capital of
that important colony, through the most populous and fertile part of
Canada East, via Sherbrooke, in connexion with a railroad to be con-
structed from the city of Portland, on the Atlantic Ocean, and which
connects it by an existing railroad with Boston.
This line of Railway, while it gives important advantages, not
only to the provinces, but to the community at large, at the same
time promises a safe and remunerative investment for capital.

The present communications with Canada are either by the long
and uncertain navigation of the River St. Lawrence, entirely ob-
structed by ice during six months of the year ; or by the tedious land
journey across from New York or Bost.n, the shortest of which ex-
ceeds 330 miles of mixed stage and team conveyance, and can
be used for passengers only. Whilst by the construction of this rail-
road, an uniform and cheap route from the Atlantic, not exceeding
240 miles in length, will be established, available at all seasons of
the year, and forming the connecting link between the Ocean and the
vast chain of canal and lake navigation westward of Montreal.

By Acts lately passed by the Congress of the United States, British
goods are permitted to pass through their territory, under bond, and
by treaty the Canadian mail is transmitted from Boston overland to
Montreal. Under these arrangements this railroad will be at once
the shortest, easiest, and cheapest communication that can be opened
for passengers, as well as for the carriage of the more valuable Bri-
tish manufactures, West India produce, and various foreign goods,
now imported by the St. Lawrence, or sent in by the long and expen-
sive route from New York to Montreal.

To this country, as well as to the numerous emigrants who proceed
yearly to Canada, it must be ever an object to have their communi-
cations accelerated and improved. This railroad will bring Montreal
within a few hours' travel of the excellent and spacious harbours of
Portland and Boston, ever open, and only ten or twelve days by
steam from Great Britain, avoiding altogether the hazardous navi-
gation of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence.
The Act of Incorporation has already been obtained, whereby all
preliminary expenses are saved, and one-sixth of the capital required
has already been subscribed by persons of the first standing, as re-
spects intelligence, influence, and property, in the colony, thus
affording the strongest guarantee of the confidence there entertained
in the project.

From- the point of junction with the railroad to Portland, arrange-
ments are now in progress giving the assurance that no delay will
arise in carrying out the charter granted to parties in the United
States, for the construction of that part of the work.
The whole line has been carefully surveyed by experienced engi-
neers; its practicability fully demonstrated, no tunnelling being re-
quired throughout the whole distance, and the cost of construction
in the rifest permanent manner, including purchase of land, and ex-
penses of every other description is estimated, will not exceed
450,0001. sterling ; being under 4,0001. per mile for 120 miles of single
line, being the distance in the province to be constructed by this
Company. And it may be remarked that forty miles, of which
twenty-two are of a maximum grade of eight feet to the mile, may
be in operation by the latter end of next summer, at an estimated
cost not exceeding 100,0001. sterling, which part adjoins Montreal,
and will, it is not doubted, immediately yield a profitable return.
The traffic returns obtained from the colony, deduced from actual
sources, after the most careful investigation, and framed exclusive of
Sunday traffic, on which day it is only proposed that the requisite
mail train should travel, show a present expected income of 95,6001.
currency, equal to 79,8331. sterling, when remitted to England,
while the expenses of working the railroad, estimated by similar
works in the United States, will not exceed 30,0001. sterling per
annum.

It may, therefore, be safely concluded, that the annual surplus of
income over expenditure will, at its completion, amount to about
50,0001. sterling, or equal to ten per cent. on the capital subscribed;
while the Proprietors have the certainty that, in a country whose
resources are daily becoming so enlarged and developed, this rail-
road, forming the principal highway to the extensive and fertile
regions bordering on the great lakes, comprehending Western Ca-
nada, the States of New York, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and
being the trunk to which local branches will from time to time be-
come united, must steadily and greatly increase in productiveness.
It ►ill further be observed that, from the position in which this
Company stands, it is prepared to commence operations immediately
on the capital being subscribed ; the instalment required will be im-
mediately expended on the work.

The Act of Parliament having been obtained in Canada, and the
Company being already established, registration under the 7th and
Bth Vic., c. 110, is not necessary; nor are parties required to sign a
Parliamentary contract, as in the case of English companies.
Prospectuses may be obtained from, and applications for Shares is

canal communication for the conveyance of merchandise.
This railway will effect an absolute saving in distance between
grove,
Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, and London, as compared with the
existing or any projected line, of at least ten miles ; and it will afford
the most direct conveyance between Bewdley, Stourbridge, Bridg-

tricts and London, and also to the numerous and large towns accom-
modated by the Welsh railways and other connecting lines.
The distance by the present routes between Weedon and Leaming-
ton or Warwick is thirty-three miles, and one of the advantages re-
sulting from the construction of this railway will be that it effects a
saving in distance of upwards of eleven miles between those places.

The Periodical Valuation of the Policies effected with this Com-
pany on the Return System will be made after the 3d of July, 1847,
when an equitable proportion of the surplus premiums will be allotted
to the holder of every such Policy issued prior to that date.
The peculiar feature in the mode of division adopted by this Com-
pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the
surplus he has assisted to create.

The general plan of the office comprises all the real advantages of
which the system of life assurance is susceptible. Insurances may
be effected on the return or non-return systems ; in either case the
assured will be guaranteed from all liability of partnership, and will
possess the most ample security arising from the large accumulations
of the Company invested in the Government funds, and the unlimited
responsibility of its proprietary.

QELTERS WATER, commonly knovv- n in Eng.
land as SELTZER WATER.
Messrs. Schweppe and Co , Importers of the above Waters, beg
respectfully to inform the public, that they continue to receive, as
heretofore, regular importations of the freshest fillings from the
springs of Nassau, through their resident Agent, who personally su-
perintends the packing and forwarding them to their Address in
London, in baskets of GO quarts and 100 pints each. The cork of
each bottle is stamped at the bottom, with the ducal crown, anti the
words, " Nassau, Selters, &c." sealed at the top, with the date, spe-
cifying the year when filled. This will be a far better proof of
the freshness, as well as the genuineness of the water, than
any additional covering to the cork, which may as well be ap-
plied in this country as at the springs, and which affords,
therefore, no security to the public beyond the respectability of the
parties adopting such a fancied guarantee. The Duke of Nassau,
by any recent arrangement, has placed no impediment to the waters
of his celebrated springs reaching thiscountry, through resident
agents, and Messrs. Schweppe and Co. continue, without the slightest
interruption, to import large quantities through the same agent, on
the Rhine, whom they have employed for twenty years past. They
received their first and second shipments on the 12th and 31st of
May, being the first parcels that reached this country, a portion of
which went to Buckingham Palace, for the use of her Majesty and
the Court, and the rest, as usual, distributed among the first classes in
the kingdom. They expect their third shipment in a a few days.
These waters are obtainable together with their well-known Soda
and other Aerated waters of their agents, in nearly every town in
the United Kingdom.

S HALDERS'S ALL-POWERFUL FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS,
CONSIDERED BY EMINENT MEN TO BE THE GREATEST
ADVANCEMENT IN THE USEFUL ARTS IN MODERN
TIMES.

These Pumps, with the same motive power, by acting without frie-
tion or leakage, are found in practice upon an average to be seventy
per cent. more effective than the best Friction Pumps.
N.B. When a Friction Pump raises 6lbs. and a Fountain Pump
10Ibs. of water per stroke 20 feet high, a man can make as many
strokes with the one as with the other in the same time.
What a noble stride in the art of raising water truly, after the
world for 2,000 years had been struggling with Pistons stuck fast in
Cylinders. Happily, however, for a lasting public benefit, Pistons
are now completely liberated by the new Conical Pumps, and one of
the most glorious victories ever achieved obtained over both friction
and leakage. Whilst both those frightful defects, that probably tax
the world annually some millions sterling, must abide with the old
Cylindrical Pumps for ever.
If George Stephenson, Esq., places a Friction Pump by the side of
a Fountain Pump upon his Yarmouth Railway for constant trials by
manual power, he will rectify his judgment respecting the two
Pumps, and gladly discover, after all his great experience in Pump
work, that the best Friction Pumps are but poor contrivances for
raising water, when fairly te3ted against Fountain Pumps well car-
ried out, which for the last twenty years have never been equalled,
nor can ever be surpassed.

Tombland public Fountain Pump (Norwich) raised 30 tons of
water per day for watering the streets, and supplied the inhabitants
with water for two years, before the first connector failed, when a
new connector was fixed in two hours, and the Fountain Pump again
performed the same work with half the labour of the former
Friction Pump.
THE RIGHT WAY OF RAISING WATER IS FOUND OUT.
Therefore, could all engineers at once learn to carry out well this
simple invention, the God-send would prove one of the most im-
portant discoveries ever made. In its infancy even mark its
