Canada and New Brunswick refused to contribute to the cost of an improved stage coach service between Halifax and Pictou. They held the position that as the packet postage remitted to England they should receive mail without further charge. Also, Canada wished to receive her mail via Boston. This change came into force in Spring 1845 so that the service from Pictou was no longer needed and the Steamer "Unicorn" was transferred to the Halifax-St. Johns (Newfoundland) route.

A closed mail to Canada was established on October 27th 1851. It was made up in time to be forwarded by the Cunard steamer to the United States. Letters so forwarded were to be especially addressed "Closed Mail for Canada". This route was largely established due to the opening of the Vermont Central Railroad, which extended from Rouse's Point N.Y. to Boston. From January 1st 1868, Inman steamers from New York replaced the Cunard service from Boston that had ceased to run to Halifax and Liverpool. (Image1) (Image2)
