INTERNAL NAVIGATION of NOVA
SCOTIA. SHUBENACCADIE CANAL COM-
PANY.

PRESIDRNT-The Hon. Michael Wallace, Lieutenant-
Governor of the Province, (locum tenens.)

the Council ; Samuel Cunard, Eqq.

The BOARD of DIRECTORS of the Shubenaceadie
Canal Company, incorporated by an Act of the Legislature
of the Province, are desirous of raising the sum of 27,0001.
(for the purpoFe of completing the works now in progress,)
for which the Company have empowered their Agents in
London to issue Certificates of Shares of 251. each, Halifax
currency (22/. 10s. British sterling), bearing interest at
the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum, (commencing from
the date of the certificate, and payable half-yearly, on the
sth of January and sth of July in every year, without de-
duction, at tl e Office of the Company's Agent in London),
and entitled also to share in the surplus profits of the Na-
vigation.
As security for the due payment of interest on the Cer-
tificates issued in London, the Company have spnially
appropriated—first, the annuity of 1,5001. Halifax cur-
rency, (1,350/. British sterling), granted by the Provincial
Legislature in aid of this Canal, for the term of ten years,
commencing January 1, IS3O ; secondly the surplus re-
venue arising from tells, rents, &c., which are specially
charged with the payment of interest on these certificates,
prior and in preference to the payment of interest or divi-
dends on Shares issued in Nova Scotia.

With the exception of 2,729 yards enly of artificial
cuttings, the Shubenaccadie Canal is a natural line of navi.
gation, extending across the centre of the province, about
60 miles in length, from Dartmouth, in the harbour of
Halifax, to the Mason of Mines in the Bay of Fundy, thus
opening a direct communication with the most fertile parts
of the country. The works (including fifteen locks), are
divided into five sections, of which three are already com-
pleted ; the remainder will be finished by the year 1531,
when the entire navigation will he ready for the passage
of vessels of 100 tons burden, drawing eight feet water.
In addi, ion to the usual agricultural 'produce of the country,
the line through which the Canal passes abounds in slate,
coal, timber, (of superior quality,) and gypsum ; the latter
an article of regular exprt from Halifax to the United
Stito4.

The turns already expended on this navigation are
13,5001. sterling, granted as a donation by the Provinci tl
Legislature, and 16,2001. tubscriesi in shares at Halifax ;
in. addition to which his Majesty's Government have agreed
to sanction an advance of 20,0001.

By a clause inserted in the Provincial Act, holders of
Shares in this undertaking are exempted fiom any liability
under the laws of partnership.
Further particulars, including plans and progress of the
work, and a report thereon by Mr. Telford, may be pe-
rused by applying personally to

GRAIN SOWING ExTRAORDINARY.—On
Friday night, in consequence of the windows of a gra-
nary in North Leith being blown open by the gale, some
of the streets in that quarter were so covered with grain
in the morning, that the natives were obliged to rah, their
eyes before they could be cc winced that a heavy fall of
snow had not taken place during the night. In a short
time, however, their doubts were removed by witnessing
the asaemblage of a crowd of old women and children
gathering this to them excellent windfall wherewith to
feed their fowls.—Caledonian Mercury.

A most distressing event has jut occurred in
this city. Two very respectable young men, Mr. .I.tm
Oau, a surgeon, aged 25, and his brother JotiN, aged
18, wept to bed on Saturday night, in perfect bealth, And
on Sunday they were found dead, M,. JANES Oltß bad
been called up at twelve o'clock to visit a patient, and
on Lis return, betwixt one and two, it is supposed
that he considered the fire in the room to be com-
pletely out, and, to prevent cold or back-smoke
coming down the chimney, had applied the damper, the.
consequences of which were fatal. On their aypctir-
ing at the usual time at • brez..kfa;,-; servants were re-
peatedly detired cab them; but no answer having been
returned, their mother went into the room, an I found her
two sons lying each in his bed a corpse. Mrs. Oaa is a
widow, and cliesewere her only sons. The late Mr. One,
their. father, was a gentleman( of landed property near
'Elilbarchan,-; grave,' Herald.

The late Bishop of Rochester, under his pa-
tent of Receiver-General, was entitled to an an-
cient annual salary of 2511. 3s. 4d.; and, as
bail►ff of the bailiwick of St. James, to an annual
salary of 1781. ss. ; and also to a poundage of
51. per cent. upon all monies collected and paid
over by him, in virtue of his office ; and the
amount of the rental, upon which that poundage
was payable, being about 45,0001. per annum ;
the,collecting of the same amounted, upon an
average, to 2;6791. Bs.4d. per annum.
By the 10th section of the Act, 56th Geo.
c. 16, it is allowed to every Receiver, upon
making up MS animal accounts, to • charge and
retain a sum, not exceeding 5/. per cent-, upon
all such monies as he shall collect, as a compen-
sation for his trouble in collecting and receiving
the same, or such other compensation, as should
receive the approbation of the Lords of the
Treasury. But, after fkilly considering tha ne-
ture and extent of the Land Revenue of the
Crown, within the Middlesex District, and of
the duties to be performed by the Receiver to
be appointed, it appeared to us, that, in this in-
stance, a remuneration by a fixed salary, would
be preferable to the allowance of a poundage, and
that a salary of 1,000/. a year, would be a very
moderate remuneration for the execution of the
duties of the office in question ; and
having recommended Mr. John Kirkland, of
Whitehall, and Mr. William Drake White, of
this department, as fit and competent persons to
execute the office of Joint Receiver, those gen-
tlemen were appointed by us to that office, with I
their Lordships' approbation, at the salary be-
fore named.

Under this arrangement, the Crown Rents in
the county of Middlesex, (including the rents of
the Regent-street estate, amounting to about
35,0001. a-year, which had heretofore been se-
parately collected, and for collecting which a re-
muneration equal to about 5001. per annum was
allmsed), forming a total rental of upwards of
80,0001. per annum, and being nearly double
the amount of rents in the receipt of the late Pa-
tentee, have been collected, for the last two years,
at less than a third of the expence, which attended
the receipt of the same revenue under the an-
cient establishment.
