The Montreal Gazette has tho following in refer
ence to the affairs Of the Grand Trunk Railway:
past Mr. Henry Oleayer Chapman, a large share
holder in the Grand Trunk Railway, and the repre-
sentative Of the Liverpool shareholders generally,
has been in Canada engaged in investi cation OF
the line, its management, and the prospects of the
enterprise From his report to the Liverpool share
holders, founded on this investigation, we are al
lowed to publish some extracts. At last the share
holders will obtain some knowledge of the manag
ment Of the Grand Trunk Railway; and n the pro-
posed Committee Of Inquiry is formed, will bo con-
WINGED that the disastrous condition Of the enter
prise Is not so much the result Of delusive promises
and hopes held out at its initiation, as Of eorrup-
tion, extravaganza, fraud, peculatiOn, and gross
mismanagement. -... 80.
"Unlcss had visited Canada" says MI. Oh apman,
'and ascertained the truth Of some Of the current
reports throughout Canada, l could not have
brought myself to believe that such q system of
peculation, oxtrayagance, and mendacity, could
have SO long been permitted to exist the wonder,
also, to me, is, how the people of Canada remained
SO quiescent. The explanation that l receive is,
Tho Grand Trunk has been used for political
purposes, and that the Provincial Grand Trunk and
money has been spent in bribery and corruption.
Be this II may, quite satisfied that the Grand
Trunk has not begun to be managed as commercial
carrying company, and II Is the general opinion in
Canada that, as the executive Is at present consti-
tuted IL never will be worked either honestly or
| purely as q commercial company"
