N.H.BAIRD, Esq., assisted by Mr. F. P. Rubidge, commenced taking the levels for the Cobourg and Rice Lake Rail Road this morning ; starting from the Harbour Company's warehouse, on the East Pier. The result of several preceding excursions, undertaken by the indefatigable gentlemen who compose the Board of Directors, as well as by the Engineer himself, with a view of selecting the most promising routes for examination, we understand to be in the highest degree satisfactory; for the hilly character of the country, instead an insurmountable barrier to the work, as we have been accustomed to regard it, promises, from the favorable position and number of the ravines to afford it the most desirable facilities: in fact, so remarkable would this appear to be the case, that we are told the requisite level can be maintained throughout the distance, and in much more direct line than the present road, with scarcely any excavation at all. The point of egress on Rice Lake, is, necessarily, yet a matter of conjecture: three places present themselves for the distinction, viz ;-- BEWDLEY, at the Head of the lake, Claverton, immediately opposite the Otonibie River, or SULLY, the present centre of our communication with Peterborough, and the back townships. Each of these routes have separate and important claims for consideration; but the choice will of course mainly depend upon the Engineer's report of their several capabilities of construction.
