New Line Of Steamers from New York to
Quebec.

Quebec.
We perceive by advertisement in our columns of
this date, that q fresh impetus has been given to
our daily increasing connection with the British
Provinces, by the establishment Of line of steamers
from port, which are intended to sail BIZ monthly
for Halifax and Quebec, calling at Pictou Charlotte
town, Prince Edwards Island, Shodiac and Mira
MICH, New Brunswick, and from thence to Gaspe
and Quebec. This is decidedly the most important
line ever established for the de veopement of the
vast resources of the British maratime Provinces,
and fail to render essential service to the
tension of our commerce with those noble portions
Of Queen Victoria's North American possessions
The route chosen, to tourists, is one of peculia
interest, and will become. we have not the least
doubt, very favorite /" track = for travellers and
those seeking the inyigoiating sea hreezes of the
northern shores Of the continent. The scenery on
the coast up to Canada is very fine, while an oppor,
tuDity offers Of visiting the interesting town and
baTbor of Halifax, with its superb bay and
basin then skirting along the Nova Scotia shore
with its bold and wild poats ofinterest. The Gut Of
Canso will be steamed through, with Cape
Breton the right, that interesting portion
of the continent. where the French received their
first blow from the English and colonial forces, at
the ever to be remembered Louisburg Pictou will
then be visited, with its inc settlements sSrtng the
bay. Then along Northumberland Straits, with
New Brunswick on the side while the fair and
fertile island Of Prince Edwards, with its verdure
TO the waters edge. lays smilngly on the waters Of
the gulf The visit to Charottetown, the capital of
the island, with the fine harbor of Hillsborough,
exceeds in beauty anything along the coast. The
island is becoming every day Of more Importance,
and it has been very appropriately named the Isle
OF Wight" Of America. It's agricultural resources
arc great while its exports in grain and produce
very valuable which VII be greatly extended by
lhis line of steamships. The island extends along
the gulf for 40 miles, and has breadth of 40
miles; while extensive settlements, gcDticmen's
seats and fine farms greet the eve for its entire
length. Miramichi. that great northern outport of
New Brunswick, is well worthy OF visit; while
entering the noble st. Lawrence from Gaspe
to Quebec, the scenery cannot be exceeded
for beauty and loveliness. In q commercial
point Of view, this line will be OF great value, and
evidence Of the interest taken in the inter-
colonial route the Legislatures Of the various pro-
vnces have vo, ed large Of money, in further
NAL Secretary in London has refused all aid to the
great Halifax and Quebec Railroad the colonists
will greet with pleasure this opportunity Of commu

one Of their entcrprising aud talented landowners.
We must not forget, however, to give" Uncle Sam"
his due merit os praise, for it Major Norton,
our highly efficient consul at Pictou, who first sug-
l. gcsted the route from Pctou to Quebec, and on
transferring his interest, the scheme was wisely ex-
tended so as TO communicate every fortnight VITO
