STEAM COMMUNICATION.

_ To run Eoi'roa or run COLONIAL 113mm.

Sir ;f-l am one of those who have not only been vigilant- ly looking on at the roccediugs of the Committee, which was appointed at a ublic Meeting, held here some two or three weeks ago, for the purpose of reporting upon the pro- bable expenditures and receipts of a steamer plying between this Island and the neighbouring Colonies, but who have been also attentively hearing, and endeavouring carefully to answer the various objections that have been offered in opposition to the measure—and as many of these objections are futile and erroneous, 1 think it but due to the committee and the public tO explain and nnSiVCl‘ them in the order that they have been raised. But before doing so, 1 will pause for a short time, and make some observations upon the Re- port of the Committee. That Report was most minutely investigated, and must carefully prepared, so that the public might have no cause hereafter to blame the Committee for neglecting any part ofthe trust reposed in them. By the Report, it was clearly shown, that upon a paid-up Capital of£7000, the speculation would yield nine and a half per cent., besides laying up an annual reserved fund of £400, to meet the yearly deteriorated value of the boat. It may be inquired, how did the Committee arrive at such a conclu- sion? It can easily be answered thus: They had the ex- perience of Mr. Gurney, the celebrated Engineer, from Lon- don, and they also had the practical experience of Captain Graham, late Master of the Steamer Cape Breton, who both informed the Committee as to the required and positive ex- penditures and disbursements in running the boat during the season. So much for the disbursements, and which are calculated most liberally, so as to meet every possible con- tingency. Now, as to the annual receipts ofthe Steamer, the Committee had not any very certain data upon which they could ground a favourable Report. All the evidence they could collect upon the probable amount .of freight weekly, between Charlottetown, Pictou and Miramichi, was from the books kept at the Custom House and Excise Of- fice; and which evidence was very imperfect, owing to the Steamer frequently arriving here, and sailing during the night, without ever entering at either of the above offices; and the amount of passage money was taken from the news- apers. These calculations were made from the tr‘lps of the Steamer Cape Breton, in 1836, 1837, and 1838, and if the averao‘e amount of passage money and freight then showed a profit of nine and a half per cent., what may it be expec- ted to do, when the Steamer is punctual, which the Cape Breton‘never was—when the population and travelling has largely increased—and when the trade between this and the neighbouring Colonies will be considerably augmented by the rapid and regular intercourse of an excellent Steamer?

Now, Sir, I will endeavour to answer some of the objec- tiOns that have been raised by those opposed, not to the es-

ton, and occu-

‘ Balance £49,827 4 10

The aggreaate account of Imports and Exports as res. pects the whole Island, for the yea-.1840, is, in sterling money, as follows:

limit-rs.

Great Britain British West Indies North American Colonies Foreign Countries

140,440 1 103

nxroa'rs; Great Britain - - ' £14,163 15 2 British \Vcst Indies - 264 18 0

North American Colonies Foreign Countries

47,409 10 65 282 14 0

—-——-62,120 17 8} Thus leaving apparently a balance against the Island of £78,319 43. 2d. sterling. It is to be kept in mind, however, that the exports in the above estimate only refer to the Agricultural produce, timber, and some few quiiitals of Fish sent out of the country. No reference is made to that ini-’ p0rtant branch of industry, ship building. It is well known that a great pr0portion of the goods im rted here is remit- ted for in vessels built in the Island. tiring the last year the amount of tonnage sold or transferred to other ports was 9240 tons; the rigging, sails, See. for which are included in the Imports. Averaging this quantity oftonnage there. fore at only seven [man s sterling er ton, a moderate com. putation, one would think, for a ull rigged ship—and we have £64,680, which would swell our exports to £126,800, thus reducing the balance (without reckoning shillings or pence) to £13,640. It is moreover to be kept in view, that the exports from this Island are all of a bulky nature, and that the freiglitage of them forms a principal feature ofthe cost in the countries to which they are sent. In 1840, there were cleared out for exportation—-

Oats and Barley, 170,824 bus.

Potatoes, 262,558 do. ‘

Oatmeal and Floor, 1926 his.

Pork and Beef, 818 do.

Squared Timber, 9893 tons. Taking the freight of the above enumerated articles at the lowest valuation, it will amount to a considerable sum ; and be it recollected, that at least nine-tenths of it were earned by vessels belonging to the Island. A reat number of articles are not enumerated—such as boar s and plank, shingles, lathwood, live stock, Soc. Sec. Allowing, therefore, the height of the non-enumerated articles to amount to one- tenth of the whole, there will be sufficient left to amount, at the most moderate computation, to £27,000, sterling. How will the balance of trade stand then? And yet, in the face of all these facts, 1 am constrained to confess, the rate of exchange is against us to a ruinous extent. How to ac-

‘Y‘b tnblishmeut of a Steamer, but 4to the embarking of any sur- plus Capital in the undertaking. The principal Objection seems ‘0 b6, that this community have had quite enough of steam speculations, in the total failure of the Steam Mill. How that scheme was ever expected to pay, I am at a loss to discover, even to this day! How it could be so iposed that artificial means could successfully compete With the natural elements ofair and water, in such an undertaking as that of the Steam Mill, is to me a matter of surprise! But because one speculation has failed, it should not be the means of preventing us to make another attempt at Steam in a difi'crent way, the more es ecially when the iublic can see for themselves that it may e entered into wit safety.

Another objection is, that a person has no vote, unless he should hold five shares. This is not correct, and has been circulated by some designing individuals, to accomplish their own pernicious purposes. When the Committee were framing something in the shape ofa prospectus, it was pro- posed, that every person holding from one to four shares should have one vote ; holding five shares, two votes; ten shares, three votes; fifteen shares, four votes ; twenty shares, five votes; thirty shares, six votes; and so on; and that no person should be eligible to be a director, unless he held at legal jive shares. And it is possible that this has been the origin of the mistake, made by some as an objection. But all this must be subject to the approval of the majorityiof the Share- holders, and therefiire cannot pass into any ye-law, until the share-list be filled up.

The next objection is, that Captain Graham has been pro- mised the command of the boat. No‘such promise has ever been made, so far as l have ever heard ; and even if it had been promised to him, it must be subject to the vote of the majority—as the majority alone will have the appomtment of the master.

be started, which would most materially interfere with the rofits of the Company’s Boat. In answer to that objection,

Iwould say, that it is most unlikely and improbable any Steamer would be put upon the line in opposition, because it could not successfully compete with our boat, when we enjoy the transportation of the Mails, and have the benefit of the several grants from the three different Legislatures of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and this Island, which amount annually tO nearly £1000. And even if an opposi- tion Steamer Were to start, who would derive the benefit ? The public, to be sure. And how? By the increased means of intercourse, at a lower rate. ,

The last objection that 1 have heard is, that the undertak— ing would never pay. In answer to that, I would say, read the Report of the Committee—examine every item therein contained—and point out the errors (if any) that the Com- mittee have made in coming to the conclusion at which they have arrived. If no errors can be discovered, then let the cavillers cease their cry against the measure, and embark their capital in such a profitable undertaking. _ .

But, even supposing, for the sake of argument, that it did not turn out so profitable as it has been represented, would the profits not be felt in another way ? Surely they would, by the increasing value of property, and of the productions of the soil, and by the increasmg number of consumers brought to our fertile shores by means of the establishment of a regular steam communication. These are the benefits to be derived from the Steamer, and which will thus largely re ay the outlay of capital embarked in it. ’
