This Company is established under an Act of the Parnament of
Canada, 8 Vie. e. 25, royal assent 17th of March, 1845, for the pur-
pose of forming a Railroad from the city of Montreal, the capktal,of
that important colony, through the most populous and fertilie.part of
Canada East, via Sherbrooke, in connexion with a railroad-104e 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 advantage of
only to the provinces, but to the community at large, at-the same
time promises a safe and remunerative investment f
The present communications with Canada her by the lobs'
and uncertain navigation of the River St. wrence, dill-rely ob-
structed by ice during six months of the ye r ; or by the tedious land
journey across from New York or Boston, the shortest of which ex-
ceeds 330 miles of mixed stage and steam conveyance, and can
be used for passengers only. Whilst by the construction of this rail-
road, an uniform and cheap route front the Atlantic, not exceeding
240 miles in length, will able 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 most permanent manner, including purchase of land, and ex-
penses of every other description is estimated, will not exceed
450,0001. sterling ; being under 4,000/. 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 100,000/. 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 itom time t. time be-
come united, must steadily and greatly increase in productiveness.
It will 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 Shales in
the annexed form, addressed, until the 21st of July, to

FitAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH
The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the
possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to

holder in the kingdom. From among numerous testmonials, the
following is respectfully submitted :
" TO MR. THOMAS PROM, 29, STRAND, LONDON.
" 5, Cooper-street, Manchester, March 12, 1842.
Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'S PILL
OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of
many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found
results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system
from redundant bile, &c., &c.. with so little inconvenience; I am
therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means
ong wanting, of being able to recommend to families, schools, and
especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource In an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, am the means of making
FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated.
" I am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re
commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengtheded comment necessary ; they are

tendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals,

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the • Introduction •f a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
It does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous In mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured irate every Article fir the Table and
Sideboard:

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON cAmminTE LAMPS.

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by'the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller farming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
echerchi and new patterns, comprising Or-mole, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.
