RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. •
COVENTRY CANAL, AND OXFORD, COVENTRY,
AND BURTON-ON-TRENT.
COVENTRY, TUESDAY.—A special general meeting of the
proprietors of the Coventry Canal Navigation was held this
day at the Canal-office, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration and determining on the propriety of applying to
Parliament next session for power to convert the canal into
a railway. The meeting was most numerously attended.
Among the proprietors present were Lord Somerville, the
Hon. and Rev. W. Somerville, W. S. Dugdale, Esq., M.P.,
Francis Railton, Esq., the Rev. T. C. Adams, the Rev. G.
Woodcock, Rev. R. R. Vaughton, A. Herbert, Esq., &c.
13th The chair was filled by W. S. ugdale, Esq., M.P. From
the statements made to the meeting on the part of the Com-
mittee of Management, it appeared that a company bad been
_ formed to make a railway from the Oxford and Rugby Rail-
way, near Southam, by Coventry, to Burton-on-Trent, which
company solicited the support of the Canal Company; and
the Committee recommended the project to the favourab!e
consideration of the canal proprietors, as in their judgment it
would be highly beneficial to the public, and conducive to
the interests of the proprietors, as the projectors propose to
purchase the depots and warehouses at Coventry, together
1: with that portion of the canal which lies between Coventry
and Hawkesbury, an arrangement which would in no way
affect the chain of communication between London and Man-
- _ chester. The Committee of Management therefore recom-
_ mend to the meeting the adoption of the necessary resolu-
tions, to enable the Committee to give their cordial support
to the measure.
3% This commmunication produced a long discussion.
Mr. F. BAILDO proposed that the Committee of this Com-
pany shall be, and they are hereby empowered to sell that
part of this canal, buildings, and land which lie between the
city of Coventry and the junction of this canal with the
Oxford canal at Hawkesbury, including the Company's
wharf, warehouses, land, buildings, and property at Coventry,
or to grant a lease of the same for any term of years, or to
6% . convert the same into a railway, and to apply to Parliament,
6% if necessary, for the purpose.
The Rev. G. WOODCOCK seconded the resolution, which
was unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the support of this
Company be given to the projected Oxford, Coventry, ane
Burton-on-Trent Junction Railway Company, which was
_ unanimously adopted.
It was intimated that most of the canal proprietors present
consented to act on the Provisional Committee of the Oxford,
Coventry, and Burton-on-Trent Junction Railway, and that
Mr. Dugdale consented to become the chairman.

CANADA RAILWAYS.

By the Canada papers, arrived per the Britannia, we per-
-
ceive that " the Toronto and Lake Huron Railway Com-
- pany" in this country is regarded with the most intense in-
- terest in every part of the western province. Several columns
in every journal are filled with discussions upon the merits of
the various routes proposed for the line, or lines, to Lake
Huron. It is natural that our fellow-subjects in Canada
should be as impressed with the advantages of railway inter-
- course between their cities as ourselves. The present line of
-- communication between New York and Boston and the
rapidly increasing settlements of Wisconsin and Illonoies is
the River Hudson, and the Boston Railway to Albany;
thence by railways or canal to the ports on Lake Ontario, or
to Buffalo, at the foot of Lake Erie, and thence by the cir-
- cuitous routes of Lakes Erie, St. Clair, Huron. and Michigan.
The south-westerly and westerly portions of Canada West
forms a peninsula, which has now to be rounded by travellers,
whilst the proposed railway reduces the di.tance to the head
of Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie is avoided altogether.
Lakes . Erie, St. Clair, Huron, and Ontario, and the pro-
- pos.:d line from Toronto to Goderich form a triangle; the
railway being the bare, 109 miles, and the lakes the remain-
- ing sides, 500 miles; and as these sides must be, and are now;
coasted, the saving of distance by railway will be
891-miles. The rising town of Hamilton desires that their
town and port should be a terminus, and shows for-
- cibly, by tables of traffic, te adantas tereby acruing to
414 the Company. Goderich is notv idle.ge Mr.h Lizars,c the very.
intelligent and active clerk of the Crown of that part of
Western Canada, is in London for the purpose of urging upon
the Board in St. Helen's-place, the favourable position of
Goderich for a vast emporium of Western trale, on the forma-
tion of a line of speedy communication with Lake Ontario.
In support of the argument of Mr. Lizars, we may quote his
Excellency Sir George Arthur's remark, after carefully exa-
mining the town site and harbour :—" This place is well
adapted for a fortification and naval depot, the harbour being
so well sheltered on the north and south. In the event of
war, military and stores could at once be dispatched to any
point on the lakes; but, to complete this, there should be a
railroad from this to Hamilton or Toronto;" in which remarks
Deputy Quartermaster-General Colonel M'Kenzie Fraser,
most warmly concurred. It may be interesting also to add,
that the late Sir Richard Downes Jackson, then commander-
in. chief of the Canada forces (1840), said, on view-
ing the lake and harbour from the heights on the
south side of it :—" Goderich, with its noble harbour, is one
of the prettiest sights I have ever seen; and in a mili-
tary point of view, it could, at comparatively little expense, be
made a second Gibraltar." Mr. Gwynne, of Toronto, is also
over backed by a strong party anxious to carry the line in
the first instance from that place to Goderich, before the
second line to Guelph Stratford and Port Sarnia be made.
Mr. Widder is over from the "City of Toronto and Lake
Huron Railway Company," established by an Act of the last
session of the Canada Parliament, fully empowered to form
the basis of an amalgamation between that body and the one
in St. Helen's-place. We look to the speedy commencement
of operations by this joint corporation with much anxiety,
becattae.we believe we may safely say, that all technical diffi-
culties in its consolidation are now removed. This, we think
it but just to add, is mainly owing to the influence of the en-
lightened and sound views of the Chairman of the Company
here, Mr. Franks, of the house of Bosanquet, Franks and Cu.,
of Lombard-street. This gentleman has judiciously
stood aloof from the besetting claims of parties natu.
rally anxious to irrigate the property in their
districts wit h the present flood tide of British
capital; and taking a grand and national view of Canadian
enterprise, he has wisely marked out a course for its direc-
tion which will effect more. for the prosperity of that portion
of the British empire, than, we will venture to say, any
measure of the last half-dozen of Colonial ministers. At no
distant day will Mr. Franks be hailed like Mr, Hudson, M.P.,
the Railway King of Western Canada. This rich and flourish-
ing province will, we trust, be covered with a net work of
railways, under a concentrated, uniform, and therefore most
economical and effective, management. Success in such a
new district, cannot easily be otherwise attained. Sir Allan
Macnab and his friends at Sarnia and Hamilton will Pave
their line. Mr. Stewart and his Goderich friends will be satis-
fied, and thus all really Canadian interests being supported,
the parties now patted on the back by brother Jonathan,
must see the folly of embarrassing these grand and patriotic
measure, by their Fort Erie or Queenstown line, by Long
point to Sandwich. Sir Allan has gained his high reputa-
tion, and the love of Canadians, by his devotion to British
American interests, and by his vigilance at dissecting and
counteracting every attempt at interference with our institu-
tions, social or political, on the part of restless citizens of the
United States; and he is not likely to lend any of his well-
des, rved influence in support of anyproject, however adroitly
masked, auxiliary to their schemes. The laying out of lines
throughout the whole of Canada is only a question .of time;
—where the greatest and most immmediate traffic can be
shown, there arid there only, will, we are sure, the ground be
first broken.
