4 .Nerel Rail,ray Project Some notice has
already been taken by the press of this country,
OF novel project, by which it is proposed 10
construct railroad from Toronto to Lake Huron,
u be called the " Toronto, Simcoe, and Huron
Railroad Union c.. tany." Ii has been for
some years IN contemplation to construct a road
on this great line of travel but the difficulty has
been 10 procure 10 Canada the requisite amount
of capital. An offer made by Boston capt.
tallsts 10 construct the road. provided charter
should be granted exclusively 10 then. but was
not embraced.
At the last session of the Canadian Parlia-
ment, act was passed incorporating compa-
ny for the construction OF a railroad on the route
proposed and after undergoing the scrutiny q;
the Board of Trade Of London, 1t was presented
to her Majesty, aud received her assent on the
principle OF the Art Unions OF England and a.
mcrica. The capital is S2,000000 which is To
be disposed Of by the sale of 100000 tickets, at
$50 each, about oue-fiith OF which draw prizes,
varying from $40 10 500 600; the drawing be-
ing conducted on Il similar plan as that adopted
by the American Art Union. The money is ex
pended IN building the road, and the prizes paid
in stock.
Ii this plan succeeds, we shall have 30 ac-
knowledge that our Canadian friends have really
"out- Yankeed the Yankees ;"-and that it will
succeed its friends have the utmost confidence.
The Board of Directors is composed OF gentle
men OF wealth, enterprise. and great personal
worth, who will themselves become large sub
scrbers to the stock. 1t has also received the
sanction of gentlemen of well known integrity
and business capacity, in this country and Eng
land.
We have before US the act of incorporation
granted the company, and from cursory exami-
nation OF it, led to believe that great care
has been taken in framing it, to guard against
anything which might appear objectionable
bleDess, there can be no doubt shortening as 1t
will the northern route by Toronto to the West
ern States, several hundred miles.-.4ibany Ar

ceed with the business of the Convention.
Mr. Coolidge of Windsor concurred in this
view and expressed an ardent wish that by COM
mon consent the business of the Convention
should not be delayed by contest for the chair.
Mr.. Villas said that he had expressed the opin-
ion that the convention would be sufficiently or
ganized, if permanent Secretaries could be ap-
pointed. He agreed to that now, ard would a.
dept this course if after trial or two is found
that President cannot be elected. He thought
President could be elected this morning.
Mr.. Bottum doubted whether the Convention
was any nearer an election to-day than yester-
day: the same candidates are in the field.
Mr.. Field asked one ballot more, and COM
planned tina; gentlemen who were now so willing
to suspend, and leave Mr. Hunt practically in
the chair, had not yesterday either adopted the
rnnrse they now suggest, or voted directly for
Mr.. Hunt

the table. This motion was opposed by Messrs.
French of Sharon and Roberts of Townshend,
and supported by Messrs. Hale of Brandon,
Beardsley, Needham, Marston and Kellogg

ing that if there Is no Gle ction aftor two ballot
ings, the ballotings shall be suspended until the

was the property of the Convention. After

objection, and the Convention proceeded to the
