and commodious premises, in Notre Dame Street, formerly known as Bradbury\u2019s Buildings, near St.François Xavier Street, find immediately in rear of the New Post Office.ADVKKTISFMENT3 and Orders tor every description of BOOK and JOB PRINTING, wil be received on the above premises, or, as tor-merly, at the Her1116 colonial empire in a state more prosperous than any other portion.He was afraid to intro-¦duce personal feelings there ; but he might say that His Lordship\u2019s uniform kindness to himself made him take peculiar pleasure in proposing His Excellency\u2019s health, with the wish that he ttnd his amiable Countess might have a prospérions voyage and a pleasant meeting with their friends.The toast was very warmly received.Col.Bruce doubted whether he was quite in order in returning thanks -, but be would rather be disorderly than deny himself the pleasure of expressing the gratification which he felt at hearing the eloquent address of the President, and at seeing the cordial manner in which the toast had been received.He could assure the company that there was none among them all, who had got up th i magnificent demonstration, who appreciated more fully the significance ot the occasion, than the Governor General himself \u2014that none hailed with greater pleasure the advent of the distinguished visitors who were present that evening.Their presence afforded the best possible augury for that great work which His Excellency and every true friend of British connexion had so closely at heart\u2014the construction of a railway communication from the Eastern the Western extremity of Victoria\u2019s loyal North American Provinces.This great work was no longer looming in the distance.It was on the eve of practical accomplishment.The President had referred to the Governor\u2019s approaching departure in terms which would be deeply gratifying to His Excellency, especially because they came from a gentleman who was His Lordship\u2019s earliest Canadian acquaintance, and for whom in his public capacity while a minister of the Crown, as well as in his private capacity, he had the highest esteem ; and he took the liberty in this connection of giving one assurance in the name of the Governor General\u2014 that if, during the short period of his absence, he should enjoy relaxation from administrative cares \u2014for his office, after all, was not quite a sinecure, \u2014his absence would not abate one jet of the deep interest he had taken in the material progress of Canada.As an earnest of the truth of that assurance, he might mention that since the conclusion of the session of the Legislature\u2014if it were not for fear of giving offence to the President and other legislators present, he might say of the tedious session\u2014His Excellency had been most anxious to perfect his acquaintance with the resources of the country.He had, therefore, ascended the Ottawa; had occupied himself somewhat in the Californian line of business by washing gold on the Chaudière ; and now intended instead of enjoying the luxury of steamers and railway from Quebec, to travel over the rough roads of the Temiscoata Portage through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to Halifax, after which he believed his Lordship would fie iretty well posted-up in the character of the B.\\.American Provinces.By the Presidbnt.\u2014The Army and Navy, which he had no doubt, should present rumours of war not end as we all hoped, in smoke, would be ready as ever to defend the Queen\u2019s throne and the integrity of the Empire.Col.Napier returned thanks ; happen what might, the British soldier and sailor was always ready to perform his duty.The President then rose, amid loud and long continued cheering, and said :\u2014The next toast I have to propose tfi xguj?name of our distinguished guest, Robert Stephenson, Esq., member of the Imperial Parliament, whose representative, as an eminent, practical, and successful engineer, is limited, I may say, only by the boundaries of the world.It is certainly a matter of high gratification to us all, to have had an opportunity of extending to him a cordial and hearty welcome to our city, and of honoring ourselves by honoring him, in the humble way we have been able to do this evening.\u2014 As I believe you are all familiar with his history, his name, alone, is sufficient, without any more words from me, to insure from you an enthusiastic reception of the toast ; but I may as well avail myself of the occasion, to mention to you a few memoranda, with which I have been kindly supplied by a friend, respecting him.\u2014Our distinguished guest is the son of the celebrated George Stephenson, the father of the railway system in England, whose talents he has evidently inherited.At an early age, he was sent out to South America.In 1828, he was sent for by bis father to assist him in the construction of the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad.A work which remains a monument of his fame.In 1832, on the formation of the London and Birmingham Railway, he was appointed the Engineer of that Line.Numerous engineering difficulties had to be overcome,\u2014amongst others the Kilsby Tunnel through quick sand, the Primrose Mole Tunnel through the equally treacherous and difficult material of London clay.In this, his mining experience, obtainedin early life, in the Coal Mines of the North of England, and in the Silver Mines of Peru, with the great command of mechanical resources were eminently conspicuous.On the completion of this great work, and his triumph over difficulties, that none but a man of his genius and learning and perseverance could overcome, he was consulted, upon works, by all the great Railway Companies in the Kingdom.He was successfully employed on the Midland, the Eastern Counties and the York and the New Castle Railways.In 1847 he was appointed engineer to the Chester and Holyhead Railway, and it was on that line that he constructed one of the two masterpieces of his genius\u2014the great tubular bridge over the Menai Straits.As Engineer on the York and New Castle Railroad, he constructing the high level bridge over the Tyne.\u2014 He has also been Engineer of lines in Norway, Belgium, and other parts of the Continent, and as an additional proof of the confidence reposed in him, he was appointed by the Pacha of Egypt to construct the railroad from Alexandria to Cairo, and the Firman placed in his hands powers for the construction of the railway, such as an individual never had reposed in him before; in fact, the order was to make the railroad, furnish the rails, provide the equipments, set the line in motion, and whatever the cost might be, it should be repaid.This road is about nearly to be opened, and Mr.Stephenson is going to repair to that kingdom to be present at its inauguration.Having seen these few brief notices of his achievments in other parts of the world, I have now to congratulate you on his being here to-night; because you will doubtless hear from his own lips that the practicability of building a bridge over the St.Lawrence at Montreal, in connection with the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, is of easy solution, and when completed, will be one of the wonders of the world, and the crowning achievement of his genius.That circumstances prevent his superintending the details of this great projected undertaking himself, is true, but he has able lieutenants in Mr.Ross, Mr.Keefer, and others, who can satisfactorily carry out his views and instructions, as they enjoy his entire confidence, I believe.His visit to North America will be of immense importance to us all.We are entering on a career of railroad enterprise of a gigantic character, and his counsel and advice may be of incalculable value to us.I am sure you are all as anxious as I am myself to hear a few words from him on this great subject, and to give him the opportnnity of imparting to us some lessons of his experience.The toast was received with continued applause, which was repeatedly renewed at the rising of *' Mr.Stephenson.\u2014He said : Mr.President and gentlemen,\u2014In rising to tender my heartfelt thanks for the compliment you have paid me, I believe I shall most completely convey my high appreciation of the honour thus conferred upon me, if I make a few reflections, which have passed through my mind as I have travelled through your country.I venture to do so with the sincere desire that Canada may avoid the errors into which other countries have fallen in the arrangement of their railway systems.I do so because I feel that there is something perhaps more important than the engineering skill necessary to complete your railways\u2014I mean a proper system of legislation.For the first as new difficulties may arise new resources will be found to meet them.But there are difficulties of great magnitude besetting the establishment of a good plan of railway legislation.They have been peculiarly suggested to me with reference to Canada, because you are here only on the threshold of the railway system, and much will depend upon the first step.This may be said, I conceive, to have been taken in the wrong direction, for there is, already, a cloud of some importance in the west, which, if allowed to accumulate, may become serious in the end.I shall make you appreciate this remark more fully be^ fore I have done.Many of you may have watched the railway works, with their gradual rise and progress and their difficulties in Great Britain ; yet you can scarcely apprehend the enormous loss caused by the system of railway legislation which the mother country\u2014'to speak now as a colonist\u2014has adopted.You will pardon me if I describe succinctly the various stages of error which we have committed at Home, so that I may render clear to you the course that it appears to me you ought to pursue to avoid them ; and in doing so I shall not attempt anything like oratory, for of that I am not capable.When railways were brought into use in England, they were at first constructed from town to town only.They could not, however, be commenced without appealing to Parliament, and generally only one company applied for power to make one line.When the Liverpool and Manchester, the London and Birmingham, and the Grand Junction railways were started, the parties who were bold enough to engage in them were esteemed nothing better than madmen \u2014wild enthusiasts, whom certainly no one would think of rivalling.These parties met with difficulties nevertheless in obtaining the necessary powers ; but after some years of straggles they were successful in the extreme, and society no sooner felt the prodigious .effects of the iron road and steam horse, than innumerable parties rushed to Parliament for the right to construct lines in all directions.A new face was thus put upop the railway progress of the country.Hitherto they had been built by going from town to town and place to place, and then only such as would yield sufficient income to pay the cost of the lines.But when the new period arrived, great competition came into play with it\u2014not competition out of doors, bpt within the walls of Parliament,\u2014and then were seen two or three different companies applying for the right to build one line.In such cases evidence was given on each side, by highly respectable men no doubt ; but not always by men possessing the knowledge necessary to decide, who were right and who wrong.Scientific and abstract questions were brought up with respect to enterprizes intended to accomplish the same object, and though these gentlemen might understand the matter commercially they could not give a safe opinion on the scientific and abstract propositions.The consequence was that Parliament fell into the grossest inconsistencies, and one Committee sitting on two railway lines would ignore the decisions of another Committee sitting on two other lines in another room.I may mention three cases which fell under my own knowledge, and will show how difficult it is for members of Parliament\u2014and I suppose members of Parliament in England are as accomplished as elsewhere\u2014to.avoid these inconsistencies and absurdities.In fact they proved themselves incompetent and admitted themselves to be so.I remember one railway which was projected between two towns.There was a rich and thickly populated .valley between them, and one engineer had taken one side and another the other of this valley.There was no great difference in advantages and the contest ran so high that tjie Committee instead of giving both lines, which tfiey might very properly have done, turned both out and gave to neither their railway.The same year, or perhaps the following there was a contest between one line\u2014along one accommodating every town in the district, and a shorter one between two termini, which went in its course through a desert unpopulous country, not yielding even agricultural produce sufficient to allord remuneration for the road.In that case the committee sitting, probably in the next room, gave the wrong line\u2014that which gave the least convenience to the public.There was another instance of the same kind in the same year.Two lines, rivals to each other, were projected merely' with the view of shortening the distance between two places by a few miles ; the route being through a mountainous district with very small population.Well, there being nothing to be saved but a few minutes of time between these two places, what did the Committee do ?Neither line ought to have been granted, and they gave both.Thus Committees of Parliament in cases, in which they conld not appreciate the facts were called on to decide\u2014where they ought to have given both lines they gave neither \u2014where they might have given the right line they gave the wrong one\u2014and where they should have given neither they gave both.This species of legislation then can hardly be maintained.\u2014 Some alteration for the better ought to be made, and a committee for that purpose is now sitting, or has lately risen, before which I gave evidence just before I left London, on these and other subjects.Competition afterwards raged in the shape I will explain to you.After competing lines had been granted in Parliament competition began outside of Parliament between railway' and railway.The public were clamorous.\u201c We must,\u201d said they, \u201c have competition\u201d \u2014we must not submit to the tyranny of railroad companies ; for if we do they will drive Society in whatever direction they please, at their own discretion.But what was the effect of competing lines thus attempting to work, one against another?The best authority, on which I can answer is that if the Board of Trade, in whose report it is stated that something like £300,000,000 had been spent upon railways in Great Britain, and that out of this sum, some A'60,-000,000 had been wasted.That the effect of duplicate lines competing for the same traffic.The proprietors of the lines had bargained with Parliament to obtain a certain amount of traffic, for when I took the Liverpool and Manchester line before the Legislature, they doubted everything, the estimates, the traffic, even the feasibility of doing what I desired to do and engineers were called to deny and refute everything I stated.We succeeded, notwithstanding; but not till we had been made to prove, by estimate, the sufficiency of our traffic, to enable the proprietors to get 5 or 6 per cent for their money.They contended fie, and they thus 'acted a paternal part towards the shareholders, which, I think, is in accordance with the spirit of our institutions.But when the public clamored, they forgot all this, and granted competition for this very traffic, which they had formerly required to be proved before the original companies were allowed to spend their money.Thus the first position was a kind of contract, to give railways a certain amount of traffic ; but when lines were once constructed, that traffic was divided.I do not mean that there was such a contract as gentlemen around me would consider technically binding ; but there was that implied agreement ; and yet they afterwards granted to other capitalists means to do the same work, as the public believed that they were to be carried for next to nothing.This rivalry continued to go on, until, in the end, the railway world was nearly paralysed ; the opulent had lost their resources, many who were not opulent were reduced to absolute poverty.Enterprise was checked, and had not the resources of British commerce been almost unlimited, railway enterprise must to-day have been at an end.These were serious mistakes in legislation, and there may, doubtless, be difficulties in the way of legislating so as to remedy them, but at least they may be greatly modified, and I mention these facts with the desire that they may be weighed by those now in power, or who may come into power here, so as to prevent the reckless system of competition which has been so injurious in England from extending into Canada.I have however, been taunted in this way.Well, it is all true; but still we have done very well.The system has answered on the whole, and the public has gained by it, if individuals have suffered.But the public has not gained by it, because the rivalry ot companies has caused a double expenditure of capital throughout a large area o country, and has thus created lines that ought never to have been created, and which, had there been some directing genius to guide the whole, would have been located elsewhere, in situations which will now be for years and years destitute of this accommodation.But look at these mis-antrhopes\u2014I can call them no better\u2014who say that though railway companies have been ruined, society has been benefited.I say that I envy not those, who believe that one part of society can be.benefited by the ruin of another.I have given a short sketch of the bad legislation in England, let us now take the example set us by other countries ; but before doing so, I have one other word to say about competition.Recently, before the committee, to which I have already referred, both sides of the question were argued, and I was amongst the ranks of non-eompeti-tionists.It was proved there, amongst other facts, that competition has not answered the public purpose.When competition ran high and railway property was reduced to its lowest stage, poverty, like necessity, made men seek out new inventions.She suggested that the expenses of .management might be reduced by the amalgamation and consolidation of several lines under single management.When this was proposed, the public cry was immediately started \u2014don\u2019t allow them to amalgamate, for if you do they will raise the fare immediately.The truth was, however, that there had not been one instance in which this consolidation had hot developed trade, so as to induce the companies to reduce their charges ; and iu fact every new consolidation had reduced the cost to the publie.The London and Birmingham road, when originally obtained was 112 miles long; it was now 700 miles long.The Midland road, when started, had only 60 miles ; it had now 650 miles, and these two roads find they cannot inexpensively work short links, aud purpose again to amalgamate.At present the public are ready for amalgamation to any extent.I am not prepared to say to what extent it may not properly go.I now go to the short links with which we began.The London and North Western includes the Liverpool and the Grand Junction, and another portion is the Liverpool and Manchester road.Before they consented to amalgamate, they had been fighting through a storm of competition between London and Manchester.The rates of fare bad been reduced to a very low figure.There were two lines of water communication between Liverpool and Manchester, and two other roads also which competed with them, so that there were in all five rival routes.The effect of this may be learned from the evidence of the manager of the London and North Western road, who stated that when the rivalry was at its highest, they all laid their heads together, and made the tolls the highest that they ever were.Afterwards, when they had nothing else to do than to develop the traffic for their own profit, they found that was best effected by the lowest tolls.If there had not been five lines, it would have been the interest of one company to develop the traffic and possess it themselves from the first.The public therefore must not reckon on competition as economical.I now refer to Belgium.When Belgium was laid out for railways, it was resolved that it should he done by one or two men taking a comprehensive view of the country, and planning all the lines so as to give the greatest general accommodation for the smallest amount of money.The effect of this has been that no country can vie with Belgium\u2014 I will not say for the efficiency, tor the speed is not so great as in our own country\u2014but for the economy of its railways.The important cause of this was that tfie whole design was conceived at once with a view to the mutual relation of its several parts, though details were filled up afterwards; but so as pot to interfere with the harmony of the general plan.In France a somewhat similar system has been developed by a department of Government, composed of engineers of the highest eminence and commercial men of the first experience.This Department has allowed no lines to be made unless they saw they were called for, and would not improperly interfere with existing roads, nor the future extension of the great general system.France has been slow to adopt railways, but her system bears most favourable comparison, not only with that of Great Britain, but with that of all other countries.Switzerland followed a similar method.That country as you know is composed of a number of Cantons, each very jealous of all the rest, and unable to agree- between themselves as to the lines which shall be adopted.Each Canton in short preferred its own interest to that of tffe otfier ; but in the end they decided to send to England fpr one engineer, who should take a view of the country as a whole, and design a railway system that should coyer it entirely.I was selected, and haying spent some time in the task, I devised a system of lines to fill up the the entire republic from one end to the other.That system they are now acting on, and the consequence is that English capital is flowing in upon them ; for the capitalist knows that he will not have to expect a rival line to-morrow morning.I hope the same will take place in this country.I hope you will induce British Capitalists to \"invest here.I have no doubt you will ; but you can only do .so by being guarded as to reckless competition.I should feel it my duty, if I saw such compétition going on here, to hesitate before advising my friends to invest their money, because there would then be no pqssjlifl-ityof their being paid\u2014nothing but confusion apd loss can arise out 'L Belgium, Switzerland, and France have accomplished great good and relieved themselves from the errors we committed, by insisting on having the proper system carried out.It is the interest of the whole country which j suppose Canadians will consider, rather than that of individuals, or of a few miles of country iu one place or the other- A system established as I advise will work from end to end in harmony.You cannot prevent some small pompetiiion between certain points; but you can prevent the destruction ot the general working of the whole system.Your attention ought to be directed to simplify as much as possible ; instead of which, when you introduce a system of competition, you do nothing but complicate, to the destruction of property aud life, for, wherever rivalry of the kind I speak of takes place, nothing but loss of property and life can result from it.The boat that brought us from Quebec last night was drivanby two steam engiues working together.But, suppose they bad bpen two rival engines, managed by two men whose temperaments were »ery different, and these men had quarrelled, and each managed his eugiue in a different way\u2014if ibat had been the case, there would have been no harmonious compact between them ; I should perhaps not have got past Three Rivers, nor have been enjoying your hospitality at this moment.I cannot sit^ down without referring to the all-important subject of a bridge over your magnificent river.Abundance of information on this subject was brought tç me in England, by my esteemed friend Ross, during the last visit he paid to that country, so that I was able to get a good notion of what this bridge was to be, before X came out here.The first idea was certainly rather startling ; I had , bid defiance to every competitor; nor would she been here twenty-five years before, and carry only her own produce.Her neighbours the Saint Lawrence seemed to me like j would also come to her chain ot communications, the sea.\u2014I certainly never thought of ^ For his own part he looked much farther.He bridging it.But having studied the admirable : longed to see one United Province from the At-report by Mr.Keefer on this subject, and made lantic to the Pacific, and fully believed this idea myself thoroughly acquainted wilh a most beautiful and philosophical paper by Mr.Logan on the movement of the ice, I feel that I tolerably well understand the condition of things in winter, though I shall perhaps obtain still more knowledge by being here in the winter, as I hope to be, at the next breaking up of the- ice.You will no doubt be anxious to know my opinion as to the disputed point of the proper position for the bridge.That does uot, in my opinion, depend on difficulties from the ice, and may be fixed on without considering that circumstance.It has something to do with it ; but not much ; for by calculations of undoubted character respecting the piling of the ice, made since my arrival here.I am convinced that no possible pressure from that cause can displace the piers of the bridge, wherever that may be situated.You have, no doubt, been in the habit of regarding with awe the beautiful and stupendous phenomena presented by the formation and breaking up of the ice, X have seen something of it, but not on so large a scale as you have it here ; but yet the facts connected with the shoving and piling admit of our getting at the pressure which can arise from them with mathematical certainty.It may appear stupendous when you see the vast masses piled up in a moment to a height of thirty, forty, or fifty feet, yet the pressure necessary to accomplish this is as easily ascertained as the fact that two and two make four ; and if the iee on your river were twice as thick as it is, and in a current stronger than the current here, supposing it did not ground, it could not disturb stone piers.The precise position of the bridge I will not attempt to decide, but on the great question, which seems to have agitated the public mind whether it should be below the town, or above it, I shall tell my own opinion candidly, for I neither want to conceal any thing nor permit the continuance of agitation which can only produce bad feeling.Such agitation is certain to take place in a town of this kind, and I am not surprised at it ; but I have brought my best judgment to the consideration, and I can have no interest one way or the other in the selection.Looking at it in this disinterested way, I do not think it of much consequence whether the point originally selected by Mr.T.Keefer be adopted, or that chosen by Mr.S.Keefer, his brother, under the direction of Mr.Ross.) think there, lann ly between engineers, the violence of the dispute is generally in proportion to the smallness of the point involved, i am satisfied, however, that the bridge must be above the town and not far below Nun\u2019s Island.I have thus communicated all I have made up my mind to, I can ouly say if my views are not in accordance with some of yours that I have disinterestedly exercised my best judgment.I assure you I appreciate your kindness most deeply, and one of the proudest days of my life will be that when I was called on to confer with the engineers of the Grand Trunk Railway on bridging the St.Lawrence.I shall always think of it with pride and pleasure, and hereafter if my name be remembered in connection with the bridge, I hope it will also be remembered in connection with great advantages to Canada.The President, in proposing the next toast, said he had never before seen a public dinner of that order in Montreal.No doubt all had listened with interest to what had been addressed to them by their illustrious guest ; but there' were other distinguished men whose presence was to be noticed\u2014-members of Parliament and members of the Provincial Parliament\u2014who had promoted this grand scheme, of which their chief guest had just been speaking.There were present the greatest engineer iu the world, and the men who possessed the greatest genius for carrying out the designs of engineers\u2014he alluded to Messrs.Jackson and Betts.The Inspector General was also present\u2014a gentleman who had been mainly instrumental in stimulating the grand railway system of the country.Without his energy and zeal, there would probably have been no opportunity to pay honour to Messrs.Stephenson, Jackson and Betts that night.He thought the country deeply indebted to the hon, gentleman, and concluded by proposing\u2014\u2022\u201c The Members of the Imperial aud Provincial Parliaments, and the other guests who have honoured us with their company,\u201d (applause.) Mr.Jackson was sorry that some other member of the British Commons was not present to respond to the toast so cordially given and so warmly supported ; but he could say that if the whole House of Commons were present, not one should vie with him in his desire to express the kind feeling he entertained to all in Canada, and to Canada itself ; for from the time he first set his foot in it, he had met with nothing but sincerity and friendship.Though his interests and those of others might have been pitted against each other, he must say that everything done by others had been done in open truth and honesty, and with kindness of feeling, and he hoped.he met there every man that he met last year with feelings of kindness and friendship.He w7as sure they had but one desire\u2014to serve the interests of their country.\u2014 This they had a perfect right to do, and he had onl ythis feeling upon the subject, that if anything could have increased his desire to serve Canada it was the kindness he had met with on all sides.His desire was in benefitting himself to serve Canada, and in serving Canada to benefit himself.That both would succeed he had no doubt\u2014indeed who could doubt the advantages which must arise, when communication could take place rapidly and cheaply throughout this great' country.He would not say much ; but just state what his experience had taught him in the Mother country, and in doing so would briefly follow the observations of Mr.Stephenson.Speaking not as one who had constructed railways, but as one acquainted with the practical working of them, he would mention a few things that would lead them to hope for benefit to Canada.He cast back his memory to two or three years ago, to a large dinner that was held in London, and at which, when a certain toast was given, it was his duty to reply.He then stated that in consequence of the developements of the railroad system in the coal fields of Derbyshire and Yorkshire by the Messrs.Stephenson, father and son, the diminution of the price of that article, would bring to the inhabitants of London a benefit, greater in pecuniary amount, than the whole of their local rates of assessment.Now, what difference had really taken place ?Why, the price which was formerly 34s.ton was now 22s., and as 3,600,000 tons were consumed annually in London, a saving of 12s.«ÿ1 tou amounted to £2,160,000.Was he not right, then, in saying that this would more than equal the local taxation ?He would mention, too, the vast increase in the consumption of an article, which cost nothing but labour\u2014 he meant fish.Benjamin Franklin had said that every man who pulled a fish out of water contributed a piece of silver to to the riches of his country.How many millions of pieces of silver must not have been contributed then by the railway system, when he could tell them, that from 90 to 120 tons of fish were conveyed daily over one line ; 100 tons by another ; 50 tons by another ; 70 by another, and that even the Holyhead railway conveyed daily fifty tons of muscles and shell-fish for the use of the poor in the manufacturing districts.That was a commodity the poor man enjoyed, and the treat was afforded him only by the .combination of the fishermen and the railways\u2014it was that which gave him the luxury at a price he could afford to pay.He was not, indeed, afraid to state that the railway system, by taking the produce of the country to the mouths and backs of the consumers bad produced an advantage equal to what would be gained by freeing them wholly from taxation.If then that system could be worked out in Canada\u2014if the views of Mr.Stephenson could be adopted, so as to prevent undue competition, and to give to one railroad as muph as it could do, in order to induce it to work at low rates, and thus to protect all interest?instead of one ipterest only\u2014in that case they would soon begin to appreciate apd understand all the benefits which might be derived from railways.Hp remembered when the landholders around London were complaining of the low price of their land in comparison with that to which they had been accustomed.They imputed this to all sorts of causes ; but they forgot that as railways developed new lands they equalized the value of property all over the Empire, and when he mentioned that cattle frequently came from the North of England and Scotland to London at a cost of only 5 per cent on their value, he stated at once a reason, why lands 300 .miles from the Metropolis should be within 5 per cent of the value of those near town.This would shortly be done for Canada : let it be recollected that she was a producing country\u2014that she could not consume all she raised, and.that the rest must go somewhere for sale.These considerations would show the value of the change he referred to.He understood that the lands of this country produced aijout 4Q bushels to the acre, and that five bushels made a barrel of flour.That was eight barrels to the acre.Now if by the railways eight barrels of flour could be carried at 6d.per barrel less than formerly to the place of sale, that made 4s.per acre, and if that were reckoned at 20 years purchase, the enormous value of railroads to the country was made at once apparent.The effect would be to raise the value of real estate so much that even if Canada found the money herself, she would be repaid the whole cost of the roads within the twelvemonth.Besides twice as much business could be transacted in been constructed as before.A strapger among them, he felt the delicacy of his position ; but he had a duty to fulfil, and if he did ppi point out the good arising from good combinations, as Mr.Stephenson had done, the evil resulting from competition he should not do that duty.He had already seen the development of the traffic in the Eastern section of the country\u2014and he challenged any one in that room to say they knew more of the Eastern section than himself\u2014and he was confident all the expenditure hitherto would be met by corresponding results,\u2014that if only British interests in the Easterq Counties vyere taken into account, there would bo a good and sale return for the capita) invested.Hp believed some gentlemen did not think so highly as be did of this part of the country.For his own part he was satisfied with it, though perhaps if he thought less of Canada West than it deserved it was because he knew less of it than of Canada East.If, however, it was as much better than Canada East, as some persons alleged, British capitalists ought indeed to thank their stars for directing their investments to such a country.But the key to the lock of the whole commercial property of the country was the bridge.There was one unbroken chain of water communication throughout the country and the only place to cross was here.If they looked attentively at it they would see that they would hereafter command the whole trade of the West, and that by means of their bridge they would have an open road for this traffic to the ports of the Atlantic, in addition to which they would shortly have very easy communication with that Atlantic port which was nearest to Europe.\u2014 With such elements of prosperity, Montreal might capable of being carried out.If a line could be once constructed from Halifax to Yancouvers, 5000 miles of the distance between England and her Eastern colonies would l**ut off, and being placed, as Canada would be, mi the centre of the line, it was easy to see how much she had to gain by, thus uniting together our extended Empire.Nor did he think that such advantages could better fall to the lot of any colony than to that one which had already learned selt-govern-ment, and which was going to serve for the model upon which the constitution of all the other colonies would be framed by the parent legislature.Mr.Hincks said that had it not been intimated that he was expected to reply to the toast, which had been drank with so much enthusiasm, he should have thought it presumption on his part to return thanks for it, in the presence of so many members of the Legislature of so much more experience than himself.But he should, as this expectation had been conveyed to him, be sorry to hesitate to assure the President and the distinguished gentlemen there assembled, of the feelings of the members of the adminisiration towards them.That was an auspicious occasion, and no one more than he desired that such occasions should be frequent, when all could join heart and hand in promoting those objects, in which the best interests of the country were involved.There were many round him\u2014colleagues in the Government and membersofParliamentsupport-ing the Government, whose opinions he might in some sort claim to express ; but it gave him Pe-culiar pleasure to see present some members of the opposition, such as .the houble.members for Hamilton and Kingston\u2014two gentlemen for many years distinguished in Parliament, and with whose co-operation he had had the greatest gratification in pushing on the public improvements of the Province.The gallant knight, in particular, had been more than any other member active iu promoting the enterprise.To this .fact he (Mr.H.) had often borne testimony.This was peculiarly the case in respect to that great work with which that gallant and learned gentleman\u2019s name would be always identified.He farther had much difficulty about addressing the company, because, like most others, he supposed, he came there to listen, and uot to speak.He had, too.listened.withJàrtnettiF.sA-ftERlilinaAiau to ell ing.That gentleman had admitted the difficulty of laying down any system of legislation which should prevent evils from competing lines.Every one in the Province must know those difficulties ; but he said nevertheless, for the members of the Government, and he thought for the whole community that they were most desirous to lay down a sy'S-tem, which would give general satisfaction, by affording accommodation to all the people of the country, without establishing a ruiiious competition.He would take up this question not as between different lines, nor with reference to the Grand Trunk or Great Western Railroads ; but with a view to general aceommodation and the attraction of British capital, without which nothing could be accomplished.At the time he entered into negotiation with Messrs.Jackson, he had been much blamed by many who imagined that it would have been better to continue to negotiate with the English Government.He must confess that his experience since, however,had led him to the conclusion that he was right then, and he would give one reason for having this opinion \u2014it was that having done all that could be done to establish a line of communication by way of Trois Pistoles, and having provided for reaching that point, while the Sister Provinees in like manner had provided to reach the frontier, in the case of New Brunswick by sacrifices almost beyond her means\u2014after all this, aid had not yet been obtained from Great Britain to fill up the mere grass between Trois Pistoles and the frontier.He said this without casting blame on any one, for he knew that if there were one person more than another desirous of aiding the Provinces, the Duke of Newcastle was that man ; but yet he knew, and his friends near him would bear him out iu saying so, that the difficulties in the way were so numerous as to prevent him from granting so far the aid which was sought.Had Canada, therefore, trusted to that quarter only, she might have lain over many years before she could have carried out her system.Placed in a position of great difficulty, and with a most earnest desire to promote the early completion of Canadian railways \u2014knowing, too, that the offers made to him would six months before have been held most beneficial\u2014he thought it right to enter into preliminary arrangements with Mr.Jackson, which of course could bind no one but the ministry, if they bound them\u2014he confessed that he thought they, in honor, bound himself.These arrangements had since been carried out, and one of the most gratifying things about it was, that they had been carried out by members of the opposition, in some case in opposition to other gentlemen, with whom he generally had the honour to act.What he meant to say was, that there were no party politics engaged in carrying it out.He would not miss that opportunity of saying a few words on a subject, on which there was great misapprehension\u2014he meant the facility of negotiating Canadian securities in London.Because persons saw quotations in newspapers of the price of bonds, they thought that any quantity could be disposed of in that way.This was a fatal mistake.He saw a gentleman present who had acted for the St.Lawrence and Champlain Railroad, and he saw also the hon.members for Hamilton and Kingston, any of whom knew full well that these quotations were the prices at which parties holding wished to sell, and that it would be^ often impossible to place securities at those prices.Every merchant knew the effect of throwing upon the market a large quantity of sugar.His friend, Mr.McDoUgal, knew the effect too, with mining shares, and yet people thought they could float, as it was called, any quantity of securities upon the London market.This could not be done unless the cordial cooperation of capitalists were maintained.The present was a time of unprecedented prosperity which he thought was likely to be lasting ; but it was, therefore, the time to act with caution.There were already before the country more schemes than he thought it would be desirable to drive forward as fast as many wished to do.Every one must be convinced of the advantage of attending to what had been said that evening, and of affording railroad facilities without enoourag-iug competing lines.Before he sat down he asked to be allowed to propose as a toast, the City of Montreal, and the worthy chairman, who had been solong identified with the city, as the head of the largest banking institution in the country, and who had, he believed, endeared himself to every one, no matter what his political views or feelings might be by his private virtues and the consistency of his public life.The Hon.P.McGill returned thanks.When, he said, a man felt much, he said little ; but he repeated his thanks to the company and to Mr.Hincks.The latter gentleman might have mentioned him, as President of the Montreal Bank, as an authority on what he had said of the difficulty of getting rid of securities in London ; but the hon.gentleman had much in his power, and he trusted that he would be induced to do what he could to restrain the present rage for getting into debt.At present every municipality in the country was passing by-laws to borrow money for building railroads.The day might come when this system would turn out uusound, and he thought it the duty of the Government to restrain it within due limits.The Honourable John Youno (First Vice-President), then rose and said that the toast entrusted to him was one that would be drank with enthusiasm.That toast was the \u201c Victoria Bridge,\u201d intended to connect the two banks of the St.Lawrence, at a point, happily for Montreal, just within, her borders, where at the highest navigabje water vessels from sea could mpet inland schooners and propellers.A short histqry of this great scheme might be interesting to some, who did not yet know it.The first mention of the project was in 1846, when it was proposed to be located near the place where it was now,to be built.A meeting was held,money was raised, and an engineer was brought iu from Pennsylvania, who declared the practicability of the work.In 1848, a private company was organized, and brought in a bill which passed the Lower branch of the Legislature ; but was rejected iu the Upper, on account of the injury which was apprehended to the navigation of the river.Nothing more was done till 1849, when the necessity of the Montreal and Kingston Railway became evident.At that time the directors oi the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway loaned the committee £1500 to carry on the survey.That work was put into the hands of Mr.T.Keefer, whose report was then before the public, and the present probable location of the structure would vary very little from what he laid down.The importance of this great communication was evident to every one, and il was useless to dwell on it, after what had been said by Mr.Jackson.All the railways would be of little use to Montreal without the bridges, and this would easily be understood when he mentioned that the freight of a barrel of flour, which was 40 cents only from Longueuil to PoJtland, a distance of 292 miles, was 5 cents from Montreal to Longueuil, a distance of only two miles.Without a bridge the railway system would be imperfect.Some fears were entertained witli respect to the construction of the work, which it was said, would be carried away by tjie ice.But when it was remembered that they had Stephenson and Rqss fop.engineers, he had no fears of constructing the bridge in a satisfactory manner.With the genius that had spanned the Menai Straits, there was no doubt that all the difficulties to be met with in spanning the St.Lawrence would be encountered and overcome.The Hon.Mr.Badgley (2nd Vice-President) then with a very few words of introduction, proposed the health of Arthur Ross, Esq., Ô.E.of the Grand Trunk Railway.Mr.Ross returned thanks.Though a comparative stranger, he had been palled to take part in the furtherance of the future prosperity of that splendid country,for which, though but little of it was yet known to him, he already telta sincere affection.He trusted that the circumstances which called him there would create a new era in the history of the country, and that they would do so, was, he was persuaded, no ideal presumption ; for the intelligence with which the the country was filled, and the force of its industry aud habits were such as to attract the admiration of every observer.No one could pass through the Province without seeing that it wanted only easy communications to raise it to the highest state of prosperity, and that want was now about to be supplied.A few years more would place the people of this country, in this respect, iu a position fully equal to their brethern in the old country.He would not detain them one moment longer, did he not feel it to be his duty and inclination to declare that the unprecedented kindness he had received iu Canada had made impressions, which would never be effaced from his memory.The whole was crowned by the kindness of that evening, which would be one additional reason to do all in his power to add to the prosperity of the Province.The Chairman then left the chair ; the toasts having been gone through.MR.STEPHENSON AT THE INSTITUTE.MECHANICS\u2019 At one o'clock on Saturday, Mr.Stephenson and Mr.Jackson visited the rooms of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute of this city, where they were received by the President, office-bearers and a large number ot the members.Here the President.H.Bulmer, Esq., on behalf of the Institution, presented the former gentlemen with the following ADDRESS To Robert Stephenson, Esq, M.P., Civil Engineer, Sfc., 4-c, §-c.Sir,\u2014We are deputed by the Mechanics' Instituée, and Mechanics ot Montreal, to address you on their behalf, previous to your departure from the city.We are desired to express the pleasure with which your arrival has been hailed by those whom we represent, both on account of the respect and esteem which they entertain for one whose proud achievements and distinguished name have added lustre to the word Mechanic, and also, that yonr presence here is a guarantee of successful accomplishment in our immediate vicinity of one of the greatest Engineering feats ever contemplated on this contiuent.Had time and circumstances permitted, we should indeed have been proud to have offered for your acceptance, some more marked token of our esteem : as it is, and while hoping that that opportunity may yet be afforded us, we have in the meantime done ourselves the honor of adding your name to the list of honary members of our Institute.We beg you to accept our most cordial wishes for your health and prosperity, and we trust that you may have a safe aud pleasant voyage to your native land.On behalf of the Mechanics of Montreal, Henry Bulmer President Mechanics\u2019 Institute.A.Murray.Recording Secretary.Montreal, 29th August, 1853.Having examined the plans for.Iha new Insti-prosperous condition, they proceeded, at the request of the President (the rooms of the Institute becoming too crowded) to St.George\u2019s Hall, where Mr.Stephenson replied as follows :\u2014 Brother Mechanics,\u2014I have received your address with great pleasure, aud appreciate the sympathy of the Mechanics of Montreal with the great works which have been constructed under my superintendence.He went on to say that he came to this country to superintend the stupendous work to be built over their beautiful river.He had been led to fear that the difficulties to be encountered in its construction were almost as great as those encountered in erecting the Britannia Bridge with which his name was associated.He was happy to say after having given the matter his careful attention, that he found none which might not be easily overcome.The position in which he was placed in regard to this work was very different from that in which he had found himself placed with respect to the work to which he had alluded.Then this kind of bridge was untried, and was by many condemned as a rash experiment, calculated to involve the Company for whom it was projected, in ruin.There was another difficulty in England ; Government seldom facilitated public works there.In nine cases out of ten, where they interfered, it was to throw obstacles in the way.\u2014 Most of those present had read the difficulties he had to encounter.His first idea was a bridge with two arches, presenting little or no difficulty, though they were of the unusual spanuf 450 feet.Had that plan been adhered to, an enormous sum of money would have been saved to the Company, but a large number of vessels passed through the narrow gorge which it was proposed to bridge, and the Admiralty stepped in and forbade the work, fearing that the masts of vessels would strike the haunches of the bridge, and thus be detained and damaged, or possibly destroyed.Government oft-times acted very arbitrarily, sometimes necessarily and sometimes very unnecessarily.He was about to advise the abandonment of the work, as at first no means of overcoming the difficulty occurred to him.The Government required a flat bridge, and at last the idea of a beam for its support, made hollow so as to bear its own weight, suggested itself to him.Upon making the calculations for the requisite dimensions of this beam, he found that the aperture in it would have to be large enough to admit arailway train, and hence the tubular beam became the bridge itself.With respect to the bridge here, he was happy to say that the Government officers and Engineers had done everything in their power.to facilitate his operations, and had displayed an amount of candour and kindness he had never witnessed before.They could look forward to carrying through the work without any official interference, which was to an Engineer the most disagreeable of all things.Here was a glorious exception to the general rale of official meddling, and he congratulated the country upon having Engineering officers and members of Government who acted with so much liberality.There was no other great work in this country to which he need allude.He might say a word about the stability of the bridge which it had been thought would be endangered by the shoving of the ice.Having gone into the question thoroughly with Mr.Ross, they had arrived at the conclusion that the pressure of the ice would exercise no influence upon the piers of the bridge when they were once fixed in their place.He should always remember with pleasure the kind feelings the Mechanics of Montreal had evinced for him, and he hoped; to meet them more than than once again, and to see them in their new Institute before the Bridge was finished.He thanked them for the honor they had done him in enrolling him an honorary member of the Institute, and in acknowledgment of it, he should be happy to contribute to the erection of the New Hall.Mr.Stephenson sat down amidst much cheering.The President of the Institute then introduced Mr.Jackson to the meeting, and requested him to address it :\u2014 Mr.Jackson fsaid that he had not come with the attention of addressing them, but he felt equal pleasure with the illustrious Engineer they had just welcomed, in meeting a body of men so necessary to the progress of this great country, as the Mechanics he saw before him ; and it afforded him the greatest pleasure that they met with every facility for the prosecution of their enterprise from men of the same stamp.He trusted that their coming here might do much good, that the skilled labour which he and his partners would introduce, would so.instruct the people of the country, that hereafter their services would not be required.It would afford them great satisfaction if that instruction were disseminated among them, and especially among the rising generation of this great country.If this should be the case, it would afford them as much gratification as any profit they might reap from'the execution of their con-trace.He and his partners had felt it their duty to bring out the first engineering talent to decide upon the bridge question, and had therefore applied to Mr.Stephenson, who, although he had retired from his business as an engineer, had been induced to come here at great costand trouble to himself.He felt it his duty not to leave such a great work to chance, after having introduced the principle of such bridges.If it gave them pleasure to see him among them, fancy what pleasure it gave him and his partners to have this favorable opinion of their great undertaking.Now that this bugbear about the ice had been driven away, they would go forward with confidence, and he hoped that he should yet see not only all their lakes and rivers connected by railways, but one unbroken Hue of communication through British territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific.Without the bridge this would have been impossible, hut with it it might yet be realized.He then proceeded to remark upon the commercial prospects of the road and country; and concluded by saying that he, too, had seen with pleasure the plans for their new building, and asked the favor of enrolling himself amongst the subscribers to it ; he desired to put down the name of his firm for a contribution of £100 sterling._ This announcement was received with great applause, and after giving three cheers for Mr.Stephenson and three for Mr.Jackson, the meeting adjourned.warrants of arrest are taken by the Clerk of the 1 Crown, in his office, under the superintendance of the Magistrate named and paid by the Government, whose peculiar duty it is to attend on that office.Why this long established rule has been departed from in the present instance where the public peace has been so flagrantly violated, and so many lives have been sacrificed, the committee are at a loss to conceive, and they cannot imagine it to be consistent with the duty of any Government to pass over such a calamity, and to allow every offender to go unpunished, unless individual members of the community choose to assume the office of public prosecutor, and do that which the Government by its inaction would seem to consider needless and inadvisable.It is well known that a riot of a serious aud aggravated character took place, in which many persons were implicated.The whole of the Police and Municipal authorities are supposed to have been on the spot, and it cannot surely be intended by the Government to devolve on private persons the responsibility of vindicating the law by the prosecution of these rioters.The relatives of the deceased, whatever they felt, did not wish of themselves to cause arrests to be made, either in respect of the riot, or of the deaths of their friends, believing that a due regard on the part of the authorities to the attainment of public justice, would effect that, which through their instrumentality might lose its weight by being regarded as prompted alone by a sense of private wrong.The Committee, therefore, once more respectfully beg to be informed, whether it is or is not the intention of the Government to allow the prosecution to devolve on private individuals, and to take no public steps whatever to secure the punishment of those whose connection with the calamity in question is already known.We have the honor to be Sir, Your most obdt.servis.(Signed)\tWm.Edmonstone, Chairman.F.W.Torrance, Secretary.To the Hon.Augusten Robert Morin, Secretary.TIIADE AND COMMERCE.MONTREAL BROKERS\u2019 FOR THK Week ending Saturday,

unanimously, inasmuch as a period of tem days had elapsed without any answer to the letter addressed by the Committee to the Government, on the 9th August, and the Committee therefore despaired of receiving any answer thereto, that this letter be sent to the newspapers for publication.The letter is as follows Montreal, 9th August, 1853.SiR,-^3ince the receipt of your communication of the 21st July last, in which you stated \u201c that His Excellency has under consideration the grave occurrences connected with the recent disturbances at Montreal, and the melancholy loss of life, and that such steps will he taken in the premises as may best promote the ends of justice,\u201d the Committee, ou whose behalf we then addressed you, have anxiously awaited the action of the Government on the subject.We are still informed, on application to the proper authorities here, that no instructions have been received for the prosecution of any offender whatever, and that no proceedings have been taken, either by the law officer who ordinarily conducts the Crown business, or by the Police Magistrate of the Government, who is specially attached to the office of Clerk of the Crown.The Committee and relatives of the deceased have been hitherto reluctant to anticipate the action of the constituted authorities, since it has been the invariable practice in Montreal, as we believe it is that of every country where a due respect for the maintenance of order is entertained by the Government, for the Crown to institute such measures as justice may demand, on occasions where life has been publicly sacrificed.It is needless to observe that the course suggested by us in our previous letters was followed on the occasion of the riots of 1849, when the Parliamentary buildings were burned, though no lives were then lost ; and many arrests were made\u2014not only on ihe evidence of the Commissioners named on that occasion, but on depositions taken at the time under the immediate instructions of the Government.It is notorious that in Lower Canada criminal prosecutions have for many years been conducted by the Crown officer,\u2014that instances of private prosecutions are extremely rare,\u2014and that in those of a public nature, the preliminary proceedings\u2014such as summoning witnesses\u2014the drawing up of the depositions and the issuing of the City Council.\u2014A meeting of the City Council was held on Saturday night, Mr.Alderman Atwater, Acting Mayor, presiding.The proceedings closed at too late an hour for us to give a report of them this morning.We shall do so to-that, before\u2019entering upon the business of the meeting, the Chairman communicated the receipt of a letter from the Hon.Charles Wilson, tendering his resignation of the office of Mayor, on the ground of the pressure of business upon him, which prevented his devoting his time to its important duties.The letter was received and ordered to lie on the table until the next regular meeting of the Council.The report of the committee appointed to inquire into the circumstances attending the late destruction of the Mayor\u2019s portrait, was also read.The committee state their inability to discover the perpetrator or perpetrators of the outrage, and recommend that a reward should be offered for his or their discovery.Mr.Labelle moved, in amendment to the adoption of the report, that a reward of fifty pounds be offered for the discovery of the guilty party or parties ; and that the two portraits of the Honbles.Peter M\u2018Gill and Charles Wilson be restored at the public expense.This amendment, however, was lost, on division, and the following, moved by Mr.Councillor Papin and seconded by Mr.Councillor Starnes, ultimately adopted by a majority of the meeting :\u2014 That a reward of £50 be offered for the discovery of the destroyers of the two pictures in question, and that they (the mutilated portraits), and their frames, be removed from the City Council Hall We did not understand that it was the intention of the worthy mover and seconder of this resolution, that the reward of fifty pounds should, directly or indirectly, be bestowed upon the destroyers of the city property ; although, as the main ground of the motion, as stated by Mr.Papin, was that, these portraits never ought to have been placed in the City Hall, he must, naturally, feel indebted to \u201c the party or parties unknown\u201d who have offered him so plausible an opportunity of having them removed, and it would only have been consistent to have rewarded them, under the circumstances.Mr.Stephenson, the distinguished English engineer, arrived in this city a few weeks since, on his way to Canada, whither he is going with a party of scientific men to make-some surveys and estimates for a great Canada Railroad along the lakes, either to connect with the United States Pacific Railroad, if built, or to be continued to the Pacific, through the British possessions.Mr.Stephenson is now in Montreal, and is soon to receive the compliment of a public dinner.\u2014Boston Traveller.Really, our good friend of the Traveller is somewhat verdant in his notions relative to Mr.Stephenson\u2019s objects in visiting Canada.We half-suspect he must have been the gentleman who thus accosted our friend H.in Washington Street, during the Boston Railroad jubilee, two years ago :\u2014 \u201cWall, Mister H-n, there be considerable of Canadians to Bosting now, be\u2019nt there ?I never seed much of them Canadians, be\u2019nt they raither an Indiany kind o\u2019 folk?\u201d The Libel Suits.\u2014Our contemporary, Le Pays, says, yesterday, with reference to these suits We feel bound to state that it appears to us excessively unjust to blame an advocate because he undertakes to conduct such and such a cause, in his professional capacity.We do not pretend, in any respect, to defend Mr.Loranger, who, for that, has no occasion for our assistance ; we make no allusion to any case in particular, but we would draw the distinction between a partisan and a professional man, who only represents and advocates the interests of his clients, according to the instructions which he has received.We take the liberty of differing from onr contemporary, and, like him, we beg to say that we make no allusion to any case in particular; but, in our opinion, it is no valid excuse for an Advocate to plead that he acted dishonorably, or spoke untruthfully, to the injury, or it may be the ruin, of others, \u201caccording to the instructions which he has received.\u201d The honor of his profession, equally with his own personal honor, prohibits him from receiving or acting upon any such instructions.An Advocate is, no more than any other gentleman, privileged to become a party to what he, in his conscience, knows or believes to be fraud or injustice.The deepened Channel in Lake St.Peter.\u2014 We are glad to see that our contemporary the Gazette, has ascertained and corrected.his error, in attributing the detention of the Sarah Sands at Quebec to want of water in the Lake St.Peter Channel\u2014he says on Saturday :\u2014 It is freely stated, with respect to the Sarah Sands, that she has not strength in her screw to overcome the current ; and this is the reason of her not coming to Montreal.This explanation will satisfy the citizens, much more readily than an alleged want of water in the channel.We understand that the Harbour Commissioners have now obtained sixteen feet of water throughout.\tUp to 19th Up *.o 21st Up to

them their escape from the heat and dust of the city, to the pure breezes of the White Mountains and the blue waters of the Atlantic.As we have lately, however, travelled the same road, we cannot, we think, do better than offer a few hints, as to what is most worthy of attention in the mountainous country, through which the skill of the engineer and labor of the navvie now enables the traveller to glide with bird-like speed.This speed, however, will only afford a passing glance at the grandeur and beauty of the scenery of the White Mountains, and, therefore, we would, very decidedly, recommend a halt, either going or coming, of one day at least, at the Alpine House,where Mr.Hitchcock,its obliging landlord) has made ample provision for the comfort of his visitors.This excellent hotel stands in the middle of a plain or table land, completely surrounded by mountains, and through which rolls the waters of the Androscoggin.Here towers the lofty peak of Mount Moriah, the labor of the ascent of which will he well repaid by the magnificence of the view.Then, there is Randolph Hill, the Berlin Falls, Thompson\u2019s Mill, from whence you have a splendid piospect of Mounts Jefferson and Adams, the Glen House, Peabody Valley, the Crystal Cascade and Glen Ellis Falls, all within an easy distance from Mr.Hitchcock\u2019s, and all exceedingly worthy of a visit.The grandeur and sublimity of the surrounding mountains is unrivalled in North America, and, although we missed the \u201c snowy scalps \u201d of their European rivals, the Alps, we were vividly reminded, during our short
