having also an arm projected beyond the line to the seaport city of Portland ; another from the River St.rrancis to Quebec ; a third from Prescott to Ottawa ; and a fourth from Toronto to Collingwood ; witli other less considerable feeders on different points of the main route,\u2014 may bo found in the two lines of road, once known as the St.Lawrence & Atlantic and the Atlantic &.St.Lawrence Railways.The first idea of this latter enterprise, at least so far as the people of Montreal are concerned, arose out of a mission of the Hun.Judge Preble, of Portland, from the citizens of that place, to the citizens of Montreal.The learned Judge arrived in Montreal in the autumn of the year 1S44.He delivered a lecture upon the project which had led to his visit ; but either because very little interest was excited, or because Montreal then possessed none of the accommodation, now so plentiful, for public meetings, the place chosen was the dark, low,roofed: basement story of the Independent Church at the end of the Champ de Mars.The record of Judge Preble\u2019s address is preserved in the columns of the Montreal Herald\u2014the only .paper, if we recollect rightly, whose conductors, thought the mailer worthy «f any considerable trouble; and the same hand which penned that report, now writes of the perfection and realization of the most extensive plans which were unfolded on that occasion.The audience in the basement story answered in paucity of numbers to the narrowness of the apartment selected for their meeting.Yetjlhc enterprize of those few men laid the foundation of the immense work which we hail to day.THE PORTLAND ROAD.The gentlemen who had met in the basement story7 resolved to build the Railroad.They accordingly went to work, and at ter some preliminaries, called a public meeting on the Champ de Murs.All the latent enthusiasm of the masses was excited by music, flags, speeches, and after beat had been thus infused, a subscription list was opened.It amounted to £271,050.Part of this subscription was contingent from the first upon t road being constructed in a particular direc-ti«i.Another part was subscribed in London, and subsequently withdrawu, so that the whole available subscription for stock never amounted to more than £238,000, which was not sufficient to complete the road with its Stations from Lon-gueil to St.Hyacinthe.That was the capital on which the existing Grand Trunk Railway was begun.We need not here recapitulate the troubles of the early days of the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway, under the Presidentships of the Hon.George Mollult, N.A.Morin, and Mr.Alex.Galt.We merely recall the line: \u2014 u Sucli pains it cost to build Imperial jtoine.\u20193 And pass on to the several steps of advance :\u2014 The Road from Longueuil to St.Hyacinthe, wa* opened 27th Dec., 1848 ; from St.Hyacinthe to Richmond, 15th Oct., 1851 ; from Richmond to Sherbrooke, llih Sept., 1852 ; from Sherbrooke to Island Pond, 11th July, 1853.OTHER LINKS IN THIS CHAIN.In the meantime, the Great Western Road had been begun, and it was opened throughout in the Spring of 1854.Steps had, also, been taken towards the commencement of lines between Hamilton and Toronto ; Toronto and Guelph, Prescott and Ottawa, Toronto and Lake Sirricoe, Quebec and Richmond, and some smaller subsidiary road«.Tarseeing men, too, had alreadydetermined that, when railroads were extended on the one hand from the River St.Claire to Montreal, and on the \u2022then from Montreal to Portland, a bridge over the St.Lawrence would be necessary to connect the tw«i portions of the great whole.The St.Lawrence had, therefore, been surveyed by7 Mr.Keefer, for a bridge between Point St.Charles and St.Lambert, and the possibility of such a structure scientifically demonstrated.THE GRAND TRUNK PROPER.In this state of things, the body of proprietors, now known as the Grand Trunk Company, came into the field.This is not the place to recall any differences of opinion, well or ill-founded, entirely passed by, or having still a living interest.It is sufficient hero to record the fact, that after a struggle in which many different opinions, icpro-senting to some extent, different interests, strove for the mastery, an arrangement was arrived at, which had the tacit assent, if not active approval, »f nil parties concerned.The result was the amalgamation of the entire road from Island Pond to Guelph, with the branch from Quebec to Rich-mend, m one property, owned by one Company; and in the leasing of the extension of the road Irom Island Pond to the sea, by the same body.It was also part of the compromise which arose ont of the opposition made to Mr.Hinch\u2019s plan, that the Victoria Bridge should form a portion of the road to be built.The estimated cost of the whole road was some $41,000,000; that of the bridge, $7,500,000.Messrs.Brassey, Peto & Co., began their operations In the Autumn of 1853.Messrs.Gzovvski &.C«.broke ground for the section between Toronto and Guelph at about the same period.The road from Montreal to Brockville was opened for traffic on the 19ih November, 1856.The first stone of the No.1 Pier of the Victoria Bridge was laid 22nd July, 1854.The first Pier was completed in 1854, in time to be out of all dangar from the ice.The first Train was run through from Montrcr.j to Toronto, completing the road on the North side of the St.Lawrence, on 27th Oct., 1856.The other roads which we have mentioned, together with the Cobourg and Pcierboro\u2019 Railway, had been completed and opened for traffic in the meantime.DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF RAILWAY.THE GRAND TRUNK The following are the names of the President, Vice President and Directors, with the heads of the Engineering and other departments on the 12th November, 1856 ;

and, placod as.it is, it promises to defy any element of destruction short of an earthquake.On the lower side of it is a wharf which runs out from the bank into fourteen feet of water.There will bo ample draught of water from the harbor to this pier for the passage of vessels drawing ten or eleven feet of waterj so that small sea-going vessels will probably .be able to load or discharge close to the bridge.\u2014 Hereafter, perhaps, larger designs may be carried put ; biit this jetty is a commencement.It\u2019 projects at pl-esent beyond the second pier from the north side.The piers already undertaken are nine in number, and they will be all finished complete before the bad season sets1 in.Two of thorn are on the south side of the river.The appearance of these piers are quite familiar to our citizens ; but for strangers it may be well to say that they are constructed with a straight plain face on the sides and lower end, and that the upper end is in a wedgs-like form, for the purpose of breaking the ice.The: laying of the tubular girders will commence at a very;early day.This will be done by suspending a scaffolding from the top of the piers and the abutments, so as to have a level surface at or about the height of the permanent road-way.By means of this {scaffolding, the tubes will be passed to their destined positions.DRHPARATIONS FOR TIliv CELEBRATION.As 30011 as the authorities of the Grand Trunk Company were able to announce the day upon which they would be prepared formally to open the road, a wish began to be felt generally ambng the citizens of Montreal, that their city, being the most considerable on the route, should endeavor to celebrate the occasion in a fitting manner.For many reasons, the initiation of this movement seemsdmost rroperly to belong to the mercantile body.Ahcordingly, the Board of Trade took up the subject, and directed its President to call a meeting of the Board to consult upon the necessary steps to forward* this object.From accidental causes the first meeting proved a failure\u2014a failure which seems to have been very ^trangely regarded as matter of triumph by some malevoleht persons, who forthwith concluded, as a single individual appeared at the intended meeting, and he the President of the Board of Trade, and especially as he happened to have built some miles of railway, that the pub\u2019ic of Montreal were led as far astray from an appreciation of their interests, as passion and vanity had led those persons wide of/tho path of common sense.The meeting of one, however, was speedily followed by a more numerous assembly, which fully vindicated that character for public spirit which has ever marked our citizens.On the\t, a meeting was held, at which members of nearly all the leading wholesale mercantile firms were present, together with many gentlemen engaged in mechanical, manufacturing, and professional pursuits, and proprie-ton.On this occasion, the following résolu lions were paesed : Moved by Hugh Allen, Esq., seconded by Thomas Cramp, Esq.:\u2014That the approaching completion and opening of the Grand Trunk Railroad is an event of the greatest commercial and social importance to the whole country, and that a suitable public demonstration should be made on the occasion by the citizens of Montreal.Moved by the Hon.Mr.Justice Gale, seconded by the Hon.George Moffatt Mhat the following gentlemen be appointed a committee to ascertain the practicability of carrying out, and to take such steps as may seem advisable to promote the object in view.The names of this committee, and those subsequently added, will be found elsewhere.£2500 wer« subscribed before the meeting separated.ORNERAI.COMMITTER.President His Worship the Mayor.Treasurer :\u2014Sbomas Cramp, Esq.Joint Secretaries :\u2014J.G.Dinning, Esq.;

by overcoming a few portages, to every part \u201c of the vast American wilderness east of the Rocky Mountains, from Hudson Bav to \u201c tho Gulf of Mexico.\u201d The French, during a long occupation, held the possession of the most diree outlet; and the warlike and often repeated struggles which took place about Lake George, and again in the Mohawk country, show lion' intently they desired to exclude their rivals from the inferior route of partial navigation between the seaboard and the lakes, and how vigorously these rivals strove to make their way in that direction.No wonder that the spot on which Montreal now stands was early chosen for the foundation of a commercial tOM'n.It is true that the commerce of Canada in its first days was not such as to employ many hands iu the intellectual or manual operations which we now see going on around us.Peltry was, for a long period, the only traffic to which importance was attached.In collecting the skins, which made the object of that trade, many men, red or white, must have been employed.But the carn-o of a few eanoes, rich though they were in value, required little labour for their transfer to the hold of the European merchantman, and the market was managed by a very few agents of the great houses in France.Still, such as the trade M\u2019as, Montreal presented a most a orable site for carrying it on.On one side of the island were to be found the lowest f the rapids on the Ottawa, and other the lowest rapids of the St.Lawrence.The painful inland navigation, in some plaças wholly interrupted by porlao\u2019es and in others i,\t\u201e\u201e\u201enKlQ r.c\t«rmrUi/Aorl *\"il\" with tho most, tmlsmrio\u2019 Inhrvir curled - \u2014.\u2014-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-\u2014 -¦.\u2014\u2014__________jvjafeA.1 at this island.On the other hand, vessels arriving from the eastern side of the Atlantic could reach this point, hut could ascend no higher.Never Mas place for shipment and transhipmei , more plainly indicated by natural laM\u2019s.From hence, more or loss navigable water-courses spread out like a fan over hundreds of thousands of miles in the interior, and permitted the canoe of the Indian trader to penetrate in all directions, while, on the other hand, a broad and safe river led ta the great ocean, whose tarther waves washed the walls of all the seats of established civilization.When tho vagabond labours of the voyageur and native hunier gave way before the more steady toil of the agricultural settler, the advantages which had first prompted the selection ot the Island of Montreal as the site of a City were by no means diminished.The articles of export had become changed, and needed no longer to he searched out in widely extended jonrnies ; hut the timber, and ashes and breadstuff's, which began to take the place ot skins in the exchange with Europe, could reach the entrepot only by water, and could be sent only thence by the same means.Farms, if they were to send their produce abroad, must ho situated on or immediately in the neighbourhood of navigable waters.The St.Lawrence and its tributaries, even M'hile Niagara still closed the passage westward, bathed more wheat growing and more timber producing lands, than any other river in America except the Mississippi.Hence there was high promise that the most convenient port for the meeting of inland with sea-going vessels must continue to he a point of great commercial importance for all the northern part of North America.Hie St.Lawrence, however, M-ith all its aoknoM'ledged capacity, Mas not M'ithout its drawbacks.Foremost was tho long M'inter M\u2019hich sealed its waters during six months of \u2022 the year ; and next may he classed the dangers of a navigation of seven hundred miles between Belle Isle and Quebec.There were other circumstances which threatened that commercial prosperity which once appeared to bo the undoubted appanage of the most convenient port of this large river,\u2014using the £erm \u201c most convenient\u201d in reference to breadstuff's, the chief produce of the west, and to manufactured goods, the chief article iu demand by the West.The principal of these was the discovery that the most fertile land» lay beyond the barrier formed by Niagara.Hence the population which would otherwise, in the natural order, have filled Up the nearest land first, was tempted to the shores of Lake Erie, and the country lying between that lake and the head waters of the Mississippi.It has been in this region that the great emigrant population has chiefly established itself, leavint* the less fruitful shores of the St.Lawrence and Lake Ontario comparatively bare of inhabitants.But for the Falls of Niagara, it is probable that all the inhabitants M\u2019estward of that great break in the navigation would have transacted their business by the St.Lawrence.Niagara cut them oft horn the Ocean; and the)' Mere compelled to seek a new exit.Hence the construction ot the Erie Canal, which by the subsequent addition of a branch to Oswego, has even encroached upon the natural rights of the waters of ihe St.Lawrence.ihe Erie Canal not only gave the western population an outlet, hut it gave them an outlet not beset by the difficulties which are every winter renewed in the St.Lawrence ; tor though produce can reach the seaport from the West viâ this river, as late as it can reach A cm- 7 ork viâ the Erie Canal, yet once arrived at the point of shipment by sea, it was liable to he detained by ice in the St.Lawrence, while it was free to depart at New York.Ihe enterpr\u2019se of the people of Canada would not, however, submit tamely to the destruction of their own channel of trade.They sought to rival the Erie Canal, hy the construction of the Welland Ci.nal upo i so large a scale as to render available the general advantages ot the St.Lawrence navigation, throuçhout all the regions watered by Um lakes, which form the head waters of tlict river.In this struggle they had, on their side, the superiority m Inch large vessels always have in rivalry with small ones.By the construction of the Welland Canal and the canals on the St.Lawrence, the Canadians secured throughout their waters a passage for ships, instead of for barges only.Against them they still had the long winter; the dangerous, M'hile unlightéd, navigation below Quebec , and last, hut perhaps more important than all the rest, the never ceasing demand 'ri' a\",aTUnti°f l0,nnaSe outward, largely in excess of that which could be required imvard.1 lie cluet articles ot produce which could be expected to pass the canals were wheat, and flour.But the wheat and flour, arrived at a St.Lawrence sea-port must compete for Ocean shipping with lumber, M'ltose demands were far more imperative.It is plain that under these circumstances the freight of bread-stuffs could never be permanently much lower than the equivalent freight which exporters of timber could afford to pay, and exporters of timber have always had to pay rates that would cover the voyages out and home.This is not the normal and usual condition of the trade at Atlantic sea-ports, and hence another reason why they have attracted more of the export of breadstuff's than it would seem from geographical considerations merely, should have fallen to their share.It is to be remarked that for a considerable period prior to the change in the British Corn Lum's, legislative enactments, the precise details of which were altered more than once, but which always tended in the same direction, afforded a protection to the colonial exportation, which greatly favored its progress ; hut since the repeal of the Corn Laws this lias been o( course withdrawn, and there is now no artificial stimulant.In spite of all these drawbacks, the victory, even if we had still to do only with the ancient modes of propelling ships\u2019, must he considered as doubtful.The dwellers on the Lakes and the St.Lawrence are, perhaps, only beginning thoroughly to understand all that they gain by improvements which must be still called recent ; and the latest developments seem to show that by making use of all ameliorations in the art of navigation we should still snatch our share of the traffic from our rivals.Perhaps it u'ouïd he more correct to say that the M'liole traffic promises to he so immense, that all routes may expect to have full occupation without those interested in the one envying those concerned in the other.It appears, indeed, that in the cycle of harvests there will be years when the demand for breudstuffs hy Europe will almost cease, and in such seasons the export by sea from the St.Lawrence will probably fail, as, except for some of the fisheries in the Gulph, the St.Lawrence does not offer the same facilities as Atlantic ports for shipment to other than European consumers.In imports there has been a steady progress, in the trade of the river keeping pace with the growth of wealth and population in the country.It is true, however, that Montieal, which once had the entire population ot Western Canada for customers, has that monopoly no longer.This is partly owing to the repeal of the differential duties, which formerly gave a sm»ll but probably an overrated advantage to the Montreal importer.It is almost impossible, however, to overrate the relative gain of Ills rivals on the seaboard, from another cause\u2014we mean the extension of the system of Railways.The true protection enjoyed by the St.Lawrence import trade, say as latelv as twelve years ago, was not only the 5 per cent, additional duty leviecf on merchandise entering the Province through the United States, but also the far more efficient check to the trader from the South, found in the immense tract of land, or of inferior water carriage, by which he had to pass from Ihe seaboard to reach the lake.In imports, too, the peculiarity of position arising from the immense shipments of lumber at.Quebec was inoperative as against the Canadian merchant, or rather it was favorable to him in certain coarse, cheap, and heavy goods; for some classes of freights to the St.Lawrence were lowered by thé fact of large fleets being bound thither twice in the twelve-month, of which the majority would.always be in ballast.The rivalry of the Atlantic ports of the Union was, however most unfairly encouraged in the import trade by the subsidy bestowed upon the Canard steamers.These vessels, though running to foreign ports, nevertheless received from the British Government aids which enabled them to .fix their rates of freight so low as to exclude fair competition in certain classes of goods by vessels coining to Canada, to say nothing of the fact, that these aids caused the establishment of steamers to Boston and New York, while Canada could pretend to nothing but sailing vessels.The invention of Railroads, however,- introduced a new element into the question of routes, and the creation of a system of iron highways' between the seaboard and the lakes opened fresh commercial prospects, in some respects not very flattering to the hopes of the merchantile and shipping interests of Canada.Not only did these Railways tend to equalize the cost of conveyance by land with that of conveyance bv water but by opening practicable channels for merchandise, at a period when the Erie Canal and the St.Lawrence were alike frozen, they enabled the inhabitants even of Western Canada to receive spring dry goods just at that period M\u2019hon they were most in demand.Obstructed as the navigation was by ice till late in May, spring fashions arriving by the river could hardly he opened west of Montreal much before June, and some longer time was of course required before they could he distributed in the interior.The American Government, to secure all the benefits promised hy this change, established a system of bonding, which relieving goods passing that way to Canada from all charges not absolutely necessary to protect the revenue of the United States, raised the facilities by that route to the highest possible pitch.These circumstances, joined, perhaps, to the stimulus of novelty, for a short time turned a large portion of'the Western Canadian buyers from Montreal to New York, and it was by some believed that the import trade of the St.Lawrence must be annihilated.Ihe panic, however, was short and it has been folloM'ed hy a strong conviction that this great river must have maintained its supremacy in general trade, even without the improvements to be shortly noticed.This conviction has prompted renewed exertions on the part of the merchants of Montreal, and these feu' years, we have had cargoes from Holland, France, Spain, the Mediterranean and China; and the East Indian branch of our commerce is\u2019likely to be pushed with a great deal of vigour.All these trades were, till lately, entirely unknown.The West Indian and Lower Provinces trade too has greatly revived.When Montreal is spoken of here, it is not that she is to have a monopoly of any of these branches.The Upper Canadian importers will no doubt share in these as they have done iu the old established lines of trades._ Before describing these improvements, let us look for a moment at the position of affairs at tho close ot the year 1855.During the nine years which had elapsed immediately before, every thing that could depress the trade of tho St.Lawrence, and augment that of its rivals, had been done,\u20141, Hie corn laws had been repealed by the British Government, and the protection afforded to the Canadian Exports in breadstuff's had been abolished,\u20142, the incidental protection on the import trade of the St.Lawrence arising from the differential duties levied on goods coining from the United Stales,\t\" arid which was imposed for the protection of British Commerce was repealed ;\u20143, The American bonding system had been perfected ;\u2014and 4, The American lines of Railway had been pushed, from the seaside to all parts of the Canadian frontier.Against these many injurious influences, the St.Lawrence trade had gained only in two directions.The last stroke had been put tojcanals, so as to secure a draft of water in every part of the navigation between the head of the Lakes and Montreal of ten feet at tlie lowest.And the shoals of Lake St.Peter hail been successfully dredged, so as to obtain sixteen feet of water, summer level.Nevertheless, it will he seen from the folloM\u2019ing figures, that though tho import trade fell off relatively, that is to say, ceased to he wholly transacted in one direction, it increased positively, the demands of the country being so augmented, that the business of supplying them partially had becom# greater than that of supplying them wholly, had formerly been:\u2014 IMPORTS TO THE PORT OF MONTREAL.Years 1845.£\u20182,614,911 \u201c\t1^4 6.2,SOS,908 \u201c\t1855.*.3,093,145 \u201c *1856.(estimate)_____\t3,993,145 The export trade generally has received a great impetus during the past year owing in part no doubt to the establishment of tho Ocean Steam line.The exports from Montreal for the first three quarters of last year, were hut £333,610 ; this year they have risen to £716,475, or more than double.Iliis is, perhaps, the proper place also to note one other circumstance in the business of Montreal, M'hieli, though not bearing diiectly on cither lier import or export trade, is yet likely to exercise a powerful influence on her future prosperity.'lh City, having its foundation and whole principle of life in commerce, the Lachine Canal was\u2019 constructed to aid that commerce.But it has happened, in this instance, as in many others, that the periccting of one purpose lias given birth to new projects, and the head of water on this canal has been rendered available for the creation of water power» which have been applied successfully to the movement of extensive machinery over a large extent of ground.Unis a step intended to promote the business of exportation and importation, has led to the establishment of a considerable manufacturing interest, which is likely rapidly to increase.As a chapter will be specially devoted to that subject, it is unnecessary to do more here than to mention that the origin of large manufactures in Montreal is to be found in the attempt to satisfy the wants of trade.We conic now to the improvements which have taken place since the commencement of the present year.In the first place, we rank the establishment of the Canadian steamships which, hy the regularity and shortness oi their trips, have incontestibly established that the most speedy route between Europe and the largest part of North America, embracing all New England, the State of New York, part of Pennsylvania, and most of the Western States, and the valley of the Mississippi, is through the River St.Lavvenee * This estimate is made thus.Tho returns arc already made up from the beginning of the year to the 5tli October, 1856.This shows a total of imports of £3,576,550 against £2,612,573 iuthu corresponding period of 1855\u2014an increase of £963,977.Tlie month of October in 1856 is known to have been again largely iu excess of that in 1855.If therefore in the remaining tM\u2019o months of the year there should be some slight falling off, which is not probable, there can be no doubt that the estimate of £900,000 increase for the whole y'ear will he greatly within the true line, at all seasons of the year when its waters are navigable.Two instances may be mentioned in pioof of this statement.It is understood that cotton has been already conveyed from the uplands ot lenesse© via the »St.Lawrence to Nenr York, and passengers from Liverpool to New Orleans have selected the St.Lawrence as the shortest route to the place of their destination.It is obvious that the shortest route must have vast advantages for all kinds of conveyance, and that for many descriptions of trade, as well in goods as in passengers, no other consideration can weigh against speed.The success of these experiments brings us back to our first statement ot the superiority of M\u2019ater carriage over all others, and enables us confidently to lay down the proposition that steam has restored to the St.Lawrence, during the summer months, all that supremacy which the establishment of the Railway system in the United States seemed to have taken away.The very circumstances which have hitherto prolonged voyages of sailing vessels and heightened the insurance upon them, will, for the future, shorten the voyages of and reduce °ti.e insurance upon steamships.The sailing vessel requires plenty of sea-room, in order that she may continue to stand upon that tack on which she gains most until favored by oKAtViov slant r-f ,H,'nrl Tn a vivor shn muof stand almost, aa Inno- r>n her losintr tack as on MONTREAL HEKALD AM) DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE: THURSDAY, NOY.13, 1856.LET OR FOR SALE.w HOUSE TO LET.\u2014.-u A SNUG-HOUSE, suitable fora small QTrSa* family, Xo.31J St.Coustant Street.Rain!
