amount nf‘freighr, but after examining persons having commer- cial intercourse with Pictou and Miramichi, they have come to the decisidn, that the gross amount of freight for past years did not ext-sea thirty-four pounds per week, and in the statement annexedto this; Report, they‘have limited ' the probable amount: to and from Pictou at nine pounds (£9), and to and from Mira- michi at twenty-five pounds (£25) per week. Your Committee are further of opinion that the steamer can call at Bedeque only on its voyage to Miramiéhi, as there will not be time for it to call there on its return from thenCe.‘ . VYith regard to the items of expenditure, the Committee differ from Mr. Gurney In dE'tall, and the amount they have fixed is below the statement made by that Gentleman. Your Committee, impressed wiih a high sense of the responsi- bility in which they are placed in giving publicity to an opinion. upon a subject of.» so much interest and of such vast importance asihat of. Steam communication between this Island and the neighbouring Provmces, firmly believe, from the calculations they have made, that the minimum of profit likely to accrue from the contemplated undertaking will not be depressed lower than nine'an‘d a half per cent. on av‘ paid-up Capital "of Seven thousand pounds (£7000) Halifax Currency, the probable outlay, which profit will be independent ol'a fund of Four hundred pounds reserved annually, to meet the depreciating value of the Boat-— whilst they are of opinion that the increasing trade and popula- -tion, both of this Island and the neighbouring Provinces of Nova Scotia and-New Brunswick, and the establishment of the - Atlantic Steamers, and of the steamer Unicorn, from Quebec to Pictou, hold out a fair prospect of encreased profits to a much greater amount than they have deemed it prudent to particularise. YOur Committee therefore would recommend that a Company he forthwith formed with a Capital of Nine thousand, pounds, Halifax Currency, in Four hundred and fifty shares of twenty pounds each, having its» Board of direction at Charlottetown. That a share list he now Opened—-that a proportion ofshares, be _‘allotted to the Residents ianova Scotia and New Brunswick, and that the Shareholders, as Soon as may be convenient, elect from among themselves a. Provisional Committee, to make arrange- ments for putting the proposed Company into eflectivc operation. For the Committee, _ WILLIAM SWABEY, Chairman.

The Committee are of opinion, that the proposed Steam Boat will be in activity Twenty-six Weeks, and her Annual Expendi- tures and Receipts Will be as follows :
