believe that the prospect of a fair remuneration to the share- holders is such, that capitalists and others from Nova Sco- tia and New Brunswick, whether interested or not in a re- gular intercourse with this Island, will gladly invest money in‘ this undertaking. It is highly desirable that those who intend taking shares in this Company should come forward without, delay, inorder that its operations may commence this season, andthe Company be entitled to the several grants of the neighbouring Legislatures, which have been held outto the public as an inducement to embark in this undertaking.

_ It Will be the duty Ofyotir Committee, at as early a pe- riod as the increase ofthe funds of the Company will allow, to _convene a Meeting of the Shareholders, in order to take their sense upon its‘ constitution, directory, and the rules and regulations _by which it must be guided—to which ef- tect they Will be prepared to submit such proposals as they may deem necessary, which can be adopted or amend- ed in any manner which may be decided by the majority of the Shareholders then present.

Your Committee think it right in general terms to state, that they see, on investigation, no reason to doubt that they shall be able to comply with the conditions on which the Assembly has voted their liberal supply, namely, that the Boat shall go between Charlottetown and Miramiclii once, per week, calling once, per fortnight, at Bedeque, on its way :0 and from Miramichi, and once a fortnight at George- own. ' - Believing that no inducement that any words of theirs can hold out can be stronger than that afforded by the ex- ample which is now held out, by thejust view taken ot' this subject by the House of Assembly, the Committee beg leave to conclude this report, by stating their willingness to per- severe in the business with which they have been entrusted, until thé formation of the Company shall have placed it in the proper hands.

The following Resolution, proposed by Mr. Hensley, and seconded by Mr. Davis, was also unanimously adopted :—

RESOLVED, That this Meeting do express their warmest thanks to the HOuse of Assembly of this Island, for the spirited manner in which its members have come fbrward, to promote an undertaking so well calculated to advance the general interests of the Colony. '

Since the Meeting, we understand that upwards of Thirty shares have been subscribed for, and there is every prospect of the remaining shares being all taken up without tnuch further delay.

movements VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.

HESE Medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and channels Oflife, and enduing them Willi renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made public, and inalmost every species of disease to which the iuman frame is‘ liable, the happy effects of Mofi'at's Life Pills and Phenix Bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by all persons benefited, and who were previously unac- quainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they tire compounded, and upon which they consequently act. ‘

The Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases ofevery form and description. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of. the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudilies constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened fteccs which collectin the convolutions 0f the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual costive- ncss, with all its train ofevils, or sudden diarrhoza, with its immi- nent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular amitomists who examine the human bowels after death: and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against quack medicines— or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The second effect ofthe Life Medicines i to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthth action ofwhicli entirely depends upon the regularity .oftlie urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from. the agency of the liver and the lungs, before it passes into the heart, being tlius purified by them, and nourish- ed by' food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.

Motl'at’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughly tested, and pronounced a sovereing remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatu- lency, Palpitation ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessuess, Illtemper, Anxiety,Langour and Me lancholy,Costiveness, Diarrlicea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies ofull kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores,Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy and other disagreeable complexions, Salt Rheum, Ery- sipelas, common Colds and Influenza, and yarious other com- plaints which affiict the human frame. In Fever and Agile, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently suc-. cessful—so much so, that in the Fever and Ague Distticts, Physici- tins almost universally prescribe them.

All that Mr. Moti'at requires of his patients is, to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according tothe directions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by any thing that helhlmself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the results ofa fair trial. _
