CANADIAN ENTERPRISE.

CANADIAN NORTHERN RAIL- • WAY'S NEW SERVICE. Canada is to have another fine aer-VK-e between Montreal and a British port that has yet to bo decided on. A representative of the London Daily Chronicle was informed by Mr Hardy*'*!. 1 ! 16 s e c r eta T °t the Canadian Northern Railway Company, that towards the end ot April the first of afleet of magnificent steamers would leave Great Britain, carrying something approaching 1500 emigrants, or third! class passengers, and with accommodation for 1000 first and second saloon travellers. "This will be the fastest service between Great Britain and Canada," Mr. Harding asserted, "as we expect a. speed ot 21 knots on the ocean journey Hie vw^els are now being fitted for tfurd-clans, hawng been originally intended for first and fcecond only, and they are some of the finest on th*e seas. Ihey have not been named yet, nor has the port from which they will sail been fixed. Liverpool, Avonmouth, Southampton, and other places are seeking to convince us of their special suitability for the purpose, but the matter will not ha settled until some of the directors arrive." The Canadian Northern Railway is , not so widely known to the publii. generally on this side as some other great trunk lines, but with its associated companies tho Canadian Northern Quebec and the Canadian Northern Ontario, it already operates 5000 miles of track, or thereabout* From Port. Afthur it runs west and north through and pa*t Winnipeg and fcdmonton, and i.t already extending its line towards British Columbia, through the Yellow Head Pass of the Rockies. I ruler a iec*nt agreement- with the Hon Ruharrl M' Bride, the late and present j Premier, the company received Government support, and are bound to complete within four year*. That the people of British Columbia will welcome the now connection between Victoria, Vancouver, and the Eaotern ports, tho remit of the election at the end of last year tcstineu eloquently. The "appeal" to the con»tßuencie« was mado by Mr. M 'Bride upon this if*ne, and upon it he won thirty-eigltl. of the forty-two seats. Tho rompitny aro now, for tho first time, orfianVing and carrying ont their own emigration business, and the accommodation and provisioning is to b» all that -travellers could de.«ire. Another connection between Eurone and Canada, has been formed by tfes-

service of the Holder line from Naples to Montreal, commenced in November last, whicli -will offer the opportunity of a European tour before tailing for the Dominion.
