TOTAL. SUI miles.
II requires four hundred and sixty-eight miles of
road to be built Of this distance, from Waterville
to Bangor is soon to be put under contract, making
four hundred and eighty two miles finished, and re-
quiring four hundred and eighteen miles more to be
built in addition OF this portion, ninety miles are
in the State Of Maine, two hundred and fourteen
miles in New Brunswick, and one hundred and
twenty-four miles in Nova Scotia.
1t is proposed to make this line from Bangor to
Halifax of four hundred and eighteen miles under
one company, and for that purpose to get concur
rent charters in Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia. Maine has already granted the necessary
charter, with capital Of 100000, and the plan
is to adopt the same charter in New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia, by simple actconstituting the Maine
company corporation in each Province.
/ The Legislatures Of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia are expected to assemble in January next.
Between Portland and Montreal the line Of railway
is in rapid progress at each end and will be COM
pleted in October, 1852.
The completion Of the two lines from Portland
and Montreal, and from Portland to Halifax, will
bring the Upper and Lower British Provinces into
connexion with each other, and with the whole
Union, introducing great changes in the social and
commercial arrangement of the Northern States and
British Provinces.

EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN RAILWAY

During the summer we gave some account - vac
plan for the shortening the time Of passage oe-
ween New York and London" and Of the great
Railway Convention held at Portland, July 81, and
succeeding DAYS, in aid Of the scheme. We are
now furnished with copy OF the proceedings OF
that Convention in pamphlet OF some lso pages
with map showing the relative distances between
New York and London by the commonly sailed
route and by the one proposed by the plan before
us. which contemplates the shortest sea voyage
from the easternmost point in Nova Scotia to the
west coast Of Ireland, distance of 1000 miles.
By this plan it is proposed to reduce the time of
passage from New York to London to sac days.

dtable style, and gives

ed in this or any other country. Delegates were
present from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, New
fOundland, and Canada, ana from tne NOrtnern
States Of the Union. The speeches on the occa-
sion were characterized by the most enlarged and
liberal sentiments; and for force of diction, ele-
gance Of composition, and beauty Of illustration, are
said to have rarely been surpassed. 1t was gem
erous outpouring Of fraterna feeling and Of enlarged
philanthropy. All parties seemed to be carried
away by conscious pride that the old English ia
my Of coloniss, after seventy6ve years separation,
had met to renew the vows of fraternai fellowship
forever.
Speeches were made by the leading officials of
the Provinces, such as Messrs. UNIAcKE, Attorney
General of Nova Scotia; WHMoT, Attorney General,
and w RIGHT, Solicitor General, Of New Brunswick.
Among the speeches, those of J. H. GRAY, q
member Of the Parliament of New Brunswick for
the city of ST. John, and Of Gen. DEARBORN, of
Massachusetts,, are said to have been particularly
admired.
This movement seems to have attracted great in
terest throughout the British Empire, and the COM
pleton Of the railway line from Dublin to Galway,
in 1851, lead to important changes in the present
plans Of steam navigation between the continents.
The distance from New York to Halifax, by
railway, will be nine hundred miles, as follows:
From New York to Portland ........ $50 miles.
