PORTLAND GAS LIGHT COMPANY.
A Company with the above title, was organized Jan. 1, 1850, pursuant to an Act of Incorporation granted in 1849. The officers chosen were
John A. Poor, President.
John A. Poor, Charles Jones, James T. McCobb, Abner Low- ell, 'Thomas Cummings, Directors.
Henry B. McCobb, Clerk and Treasurer. Captial Stock $100,000.
The works of the Company are to be erected at Clark's Point, near the outlet of Cumberland and Oxford Canal ; and a contract has been entered into with Francis O. J. Smith, for their comple; tion by the first of July 1850 ; but the progress already made, and the well known efficiency and dispatch of the contractor, indicate that they will be finished at an earlier period ; so that it is not im- probable that some of our streets will be lighted with gas by the first of June, 1850.
PORTLAND COMPANY.
This Company was incorporated August. 8, 1846. Its object is the manufacture of Rail Road Cars, Locomotives, and Machinery, of various descriptions, mostly connected with the requirements of Rail Roads.
Its works are located on made land, on the harbour side of the city, near the entrance of the Eastern Promenade, and adjoining the bridge of the A. & St. L. Rail Road, with which they are con- nected by a branch bridge, so that cars may be run directly from the works of the company into the Rail Road Depot.
The main building of the company is 300 teet long by 62 wide- the Car house 150 feet in length by 60 in width. The location is considered one of the most elegible for a manufactory of this des- cription, in the United States. It is convenient to the business of the city, and al high water, vessels drawing ten feet can lay along side the breast work. The works of the Company are susceptable ot being greatly extended-as less than one half the land owned by them, is occupied.
The Board of Directors, chosen at the annual meeting 2d Tues- day in July, 1849, are
John A. Poor, President.
George Warren, J. B. Cahoon,
A. W. H. Clapp, Charles Jones,
Horace Felton, T. R. Jones,
Horace Felton, Superintendent.
James C. Churchill, Clerk and Treasurer.
CUMBERLAND AND OXFORD CANAL.
This Canal extends from Portland, near the commencement of Clark Street, to Sebago Lake, a distance of twenty miles. It was finished in 1829, at a cost of $211,000 Sebago is united with Long Pond, by Songo river and Brandy Pond, and a water communica- tion is thus furnished with the interior, of more than fifty miles. The Canal passes through the towns of Westbrook, Gorham, Windham and Standish ; and during the boating season, an exten- sive business in lumber, cord wood, & c., is done with these places and the flourishing towns bordering on the connecting Jake and pondis, above.
The scenery along the Canal, and throughout the whole extent of this water communication, is highly diversified and picturesque.

208 BUSINESS CORPORATIONS.
PORTLAND SUGAR HOUSE.
Although this establishment is in the possession and under the management of a single individual (Mr. J. B. Brown)it is one of the chief objects of business interest in our city, both from the magni- tude of the buildings comprised under the name, and the extent of the works carried on within them.
The first building was constructed in 1845. It is 90 feet in length by 50 in width, four stories high. In 1848 a second building was put up, of the same dimensions on the ground, carried two stories higher, and the two buildings were connected by a wing of height and width proportionate.
The business carried on heretofore has been solely the manu- facture of Sugars, from molassesimported from the West Indies. These sugars are remarkably clean, and will otherwise compare favourbly with the various styles of brown sugars in the market. They are of two qualities, A. and A A.
Recently machinery for refining by steam has been added to the the works, and Mr. Brown is now enabled to turn out superior qualities of the finer grades of sugars, Whites, Straw Colored and Yellow. Sixty hands are employed in the establishment, and an average of about one hundred barrels of sugars are made daily.
These works are located on and near York Street, just ahove its junction with Danforth Street-adjoining the harbour, and in their rear is a spacious stone wharf, principally constructed since the first building was put up, with sufficient water at a high tide for floating the largest of the class of vessels engaged in the West In- dia trade.
The enterprising proprietor imports the RAW MATERIAL in his own vessels, lands it on his own wharf, aud manufactures it and puts it up ready for sale in his own establishment-and a more complete and commodious one for the business carried on could not be ar- ranged.
PORTLAND STEAM PACKET COMPANY,
This Company, in accordance with the provisions of an Act of Incorporation, was organized in the spring of 1844. Their object was to establish a communication between this place and Boston, by means of steam propeller boats, chiefly for carrying freight. 'Their capital stock, comprised in the two propellors, the Commo- dore Preble and Gen. Warren, the side wheel steamer John Mar- shall, and the pier known as the Custom House Wharf, cost little over $80,000, and is held in shares of $300 each. .
The Com. Preble, was built in the winter of 1843 and 4, at the yard of Mr. Lemuel Dyer, and made her first trip to Boston, May 15, 1844. She is 283 tons burthen.
The Gen. Warren, was built in the summer of 1844, at D, or', Yard, she is 309 tons hurthen. The John Marshall, was built in New York in 1845, she is 450 tons burthen.
The Com. Preble is commanded by Capt. Cyrus Sturdevant, the Gen. Warren, by Capt. Geo. Knight.
DIRECTORS .- Wm. Kimball, President. Charles Fobes, and M. Sanford.
J. B. Coyle, General Agent, Joseph Brooks, Agent in Boston.
NEW YORK PROPELLERS .- There was a project on foot in Feb. 1850, to establish a communication direct between this port and New York, by means of two propellors of 500 tons each, which bid fair on the first of March to be successful.

RAIL ROADS.
RAIL ROADS. ATLANTIC AND ST. LAWRENCE RAIL ROAD.
This enterprise is by far the most important that has ever en gaked the attention of the people of this section. Its ohjoct is to connect the city of Montreal, L. C. with Portland, thereby fur- nishing to the former, a NEW PORT OF ENTRY : a port among the most safe, convenient and easy of access, connected with the American continent ; and on the other hand, opening to the people of Portland and of the State, a direct channel to the vast grain growing regions of the West.
On the part of Maine, a charter was granted February 10th, 1845-title as above-capital stock $3,000,000 ; and the charter, of so much of the route as traverses the province of Lower ('an- ada, was obtained from the Canadian Parliament, March 17, 1845, title St. Lawrence and Atlantic Rail Road,-Capital Stock, £600,0 0.
The Company of the MAINE portion of the route was organized September 25, 1845 .- The ceremony of breaking ground. was oh- served on the 4th of July, 1846 ; the site, the dilapidated bastion at the Eastern point of Munjoy's Neck, known as Fort Law rence.
By a Convention entered into by the Canadian and Maine Boards of Directors, April 17, 1846, the whole road is to be built of an elevation sufficient to prevent obstru tion from snow and ice, the guage to be 5 feet 6 inches in the clear between the rails ; and the rails first laid to be placed with the view to a double track.
The road at this end of the line, is finished to Paris C'ape, a distance of forty-seven miles, and a contract was completed on the 8th of January, 1850, with Messrs. Wood, Black & Co., to build, furnish rails for, and put in running order, the remainder of the distance to the line, at a rate of $26,200 per mile. By this contract the road is to be open to Bethel in December 1850 -- to Gorham, N. H., in July, 1851, to the Connection, River in December, 1851, and the remainder by the Ist of Jan. 1853.
'The Canadian portion of the line is open to St. Hyacinth, a dis tance of thirty miles, and an arrangement has been entered into with the same firm to complete the entire route to its junction with the MAINE Road, on rimilar terms, and within the same time, so that we may expect to have the entire line opened from Portland to Montreal within three years.
