rejected, but 40,250 acres of land had been disposed
of for 19,264/. Other large sales of the Company's
land had been made ; and whilst the number of ap-
plications for lots of the Company's lands were con-
tinually increasing, the prices of the separate lots
had been, in some instances, augmented fourfold.
The Commissioners, who had proceeded, at the
joint expense of the Government and the Company,
for the purpose of selecting the million of acres
which the Company was to purchase from the Go-
vernment, had made a report highly favourable to the
Company's interests, and selected a million of acres
which lay to a great extent upon the coast of Lake
Huron, and which included the inlets of the Lake
into the two principal rivers in that province, and
the only harbour which was to be found in a distance
of 250 miles. The proximity of this tract to the
located and settled parts of Lower Canada upon
the one hand, and the great facilities which it
afforded for navigation on the other side, would
produce the most material advantages to the
Company's interests, and there was no doubt but
that piece of land (the million .of selected acres)
would, before long, become the most important
district in the western part of Lower Canada. An ar-
rangement had also been made, which was of the utmost
importance to the public, and especially to emigrants.
The consequence of this arrangement was, that per-
sons proceeding from this country to Canada would,
in providing themselves with a recommendation from
any of the agents of the Company here, be, on their
arrival at Montreal or Quebec, furnished with way-
bills, in consequence of which they would be con-
veyed to York or any other town in Upper Canada
at their own cost; but the expence of conveyance
would not in any case exceed 1/. 7s. for an adult,
and half that sum for a child. The htveoerayedaplvearuonitapatgeereothuoesf
this arrangement was, that in addition to the cheap-
ness of the conveyance, it would enable emigrants,
before they quitted thiscountry,
exact expellee of their transmission to their final
destination. The Report, which stated a great
number of other circumstances which showed the
affairs of the CompanY to
condition, was received and adopted with much
applause.
After a long conversation, it was agreed to print
the Report, and distribute it among the share-
holders ; and also to include in a prospectus such
parts of the Report as were interesting to emigrants

that any further calls would be made, and when ?
There had yet been only 101. per cent. of the capital
subscribed.

The CHAIRMAN said, that in his opinion it would
be found necessary to make a small call upon the
Shareholders soon after the middle of next year.
Thanks were then voted to the Directors and the
Chairman, after which the Meeting separated.

The calico-weavers in the neighbourhood of
Todmordeu have turned out for an advance of wages.—
These distressed persons have, it is said, suffered much and
long from low wages. It is to be feared, however, that, in
the present state of trade, they cannot be relieved.—Leeds

The necessity of a bridge at the Portland Ferry
is strongly pointed out in the following detail :—The letters
from Portland, which should arrive daily at Weymouth at
a quarter past eleven in the morning, and are despatched to
that island five minutes afterwards, did not arrive on the
14th instant till nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, owing
to the impossibility of crossing at the Ferry in safety. The
letters front Portland thereby lost the opportunity of that
day's conveyance by the Weymouth mail, besides the in-
convenience arising to the merchants and inhabitants of
Portland, from so late a return of the messenger with the
day's letters. The population of Portland is nearly two
thousand five huntired...Dorset ChroNicle..
