 very nature of thu undertaking, but toe hope they are few. Great at- 
 tention has bet^n paid to the aslronnmieal talculations. The prognostica-

 they wdl shew at one virw, when the whole are collected, what are the rt-

 OF THE CHANGES OF THE A£OON. 
 
 Many |>er80ns, understanding that the mean time between on* 
 new Moon and anoibisr is 20 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes ai><l a frac- 
 tion, imagine that, to find the full or quartets of the Moon, ihey 
 have only to add a half or fuurtb part of that time ; and when they 
 do not 6nd the changes m'arlied in the Calendar to correspond with thia 
 method, they impute it to mistake in the calonlaiioii of those otanan- 
 ges. It is therefore, necespary to put them in mind, that' the fiiat 
 inequality of tht* Moon's motions renders the above rula ettremelj 
 inacurale, so that nineteen times in twenty it muaifailiu giving tb«

 GOOD 'FRIDAY —This day is held as a solemn fast In remi'mhranoe 
 ©f the Crucifixion or oob Saviouk. Its appellation of Good, e« eon 
 
 {leculiar tutlie Church o< CnK'and. The Sanono called it Louy;-Friday, 
 i'um the length of the ceremonies on that day; but its ancieal title 
 was ifoly Fridtttf, and the week in which it happens, was, aud is now . 
 cien<<ininated\f/*//j/ or Passion H'tik. 
 
 According In St. Mark, the Ciuiifixion commenced at the 3d, and 
 •ndedat the 6th hour — but St J ilin !<iates it to have beftun at the 6lh 
 Lour. It has, however, been decidfd, that the third hour is the cor* 
 rect account In the Church of Rome «>ince>« called Tenibra, (i. e, 
 llarknes'') are sunt; on holy Friday, and the day preceduig and sucw 
 cteding it. The lights are extinguished, and neaily at the conclusion 
 of the service, a solemn silence is observed — whtn suddenly a tre- 
 mendous noise ensueS; in token of Ihe rending of the veil of the 
 Temple, fn London. Cross Boiij — (so called iVom the crosd im- 
 pressed upon them) — form Ihe general breakfast on Good Friday, in 
 lome covniies, a stork of cakes is preserved ak a cure tor the laithfiil 
 throughout Ihe year— a remnant of the sacramentHi water or houstll 
 of Ihe Church of Roin«, as practised by the |jri«sts nearly eight ceu- 
 turies ago. 
 
 *f EASTER DAY.— Is the 4ay on which our Savionr rose fro.ii the 
 iead ; the third day after Good Friday. The word Eatter signifies " to 
 rise."— This grand fe.<<lival was so anciently observed by the Church, 
 that no one in former limes doiibled.tbat it was eslablir.hed by >po8le* 
 lical authority. As all Chrisdans on the preoeeding Friday, sto id ai 
 ft were, muurnfnily by (he cross of their Saviour, and the next day 
 Wi^re overwhelmed with grief for his depaiture; ihe Church on this 
 day, upon the fiiit notice of bis re^uneciion frooi Ihe grave, unlls

 Christmas, considered as a religious festival, is one of the first con* 
 sequence ; and allliougb, from the cbange which modern luxury hav 
 introduced in the manners of the age, many o( the solemnities with 
 which it was formally observed are now discontinued, it still is mar* 
 ked as a period when a more social iutercourse talcet place betweea 
 the different classes of society, and one at which the poor are consi- 
 dered as having, amidst the general festivity which prevails, a stronger 
 claim upon tbe benevolence and charity nf their richer neighbours.^

 Einpire «>l Rome, al the period of the ovnrlbrow of the then mistress 
 ot the world The /oum/o/ton itone of thi$ Empire has been laid by 
 the Qiieen kA Ibe Oceun, and it depends on the prud<-nce and wi«dum 
 vlher Louncils, and nn Ibe loyalty, ambition, lempffr, skill, industry, 
 bravery, high qualities, and pen^everance of ranadians, no matter of 
 what origin, how far the lairy virion which, is kindled up in fancy, 
 may be reafizrd. But this is nut a time, nor a place, for the Indul-^ 
 grnve of reverie, however splendid or enticing, and we must be con^ 
 tent with present realities. — To the contemplation ol theite realities, 
 formiiig altogetber so promising an embryo, let us proceed. 
 
 We have only to cakl our eyes transiently over a mi»p of North A* 
 merica to be immediHtely a«f ured of ibe singularly advantageous situa* 
 tion of the settled fmrts of Upper Canada — Seated Irke a gem in the 
 boaou) ufa Qtiunlry that is neither scorched by the sultry summers of 
 the south- nor blasted by the tardy, bitter-biting, wiiit«rs oi Ibe north; 
 surrounded by ih« most nla|;itillcent Lakes, and possessing the most 
 eitensive internal navigation in the known world, il wovid be diffi- 
 cult .perhaps impossible, to find, in any other region of the globe, a 
 tract of uoHotry of the snme magnitiide with so many natuial advan* 
 lages, as that part of fj^iper CaiiHdii w bicb lies bKtw«en the Lakes Oii« 
 lario, Erie, and Huron, and the Ottawa, ortarand River, nine tenths 
 of the whole extent of which are calculated for Ibe eif rkiiie of almost 
 eve'y description of agricultural Uboui, and with such a prosftect ot 
 success as, perhaps, no other part of this continent could realiste A 
 
 Eartoflbistract uf country, commencing in the neighbourhood of 
 jrigston, and running we.<tward nearly SOO miles t<* the Sandwich 
 frontier, by a depth, noribward, of from 40 in KMI miles, is, a/o*i«, ea«^ 
 pable of supplying all Europe with grain ; besides being rich in rat- 
 tle; and producing silver, lead, copper, iron, lime, marie, gypsuin» 
 marble, free stone, coal, sail, wool, hemp, and flax (of the brst quali- 
 ty ) tobacco, and timt>er of every description ; bes, J«t8 furr, game, fisb« 
 and many other valuable productions * 
 
 Much has been taid, at a distance, against Ibe climate of this fine 
 eounlry. Tho»e, however. wh<« have removed to it from Great Bri> 
 tain are agreeatily disappointed in finding it more ; l«^asant, (because 
 not Ml rooisl and unsettled j <han that which they have left li might 
 be !>ai<t, with no great iinpr()|iriety, that the pre!<entt iohabilants qf 
 Canada have but two sea«nn!«;—SHininer end Winter -*-for Winter 
 ban no sooner dissapfieared, which generally happens b) the middle 
 of April, than the whole animal and vegetable creation Httrts into

 " Il mnsi lie llndt:r^tooll that viM^are always speakiofe of tiie set- 
 tled f arts of Upper Canada, unlesi especially mentioned to the con- 
 trary.

 wilh Juch douNfol limits as to be scarcely perceplibie, or deaervin|»a 
 specific characJer; again, in ibe tail oJ the y«>ar, the months o( Sep- 
 tedber and Otlnbei are geoeially so fin« and summer likr>, and lliu.<« 
 hi>ing succeeded by what i^ so aptly termed the /ndian Summer, in 
 November, Ohh\ mnnlh which is so gloomy in England, and said lo 
 be so talal to Englishmen) thai we should have great difficulty, were 
 it not 'or an aitificial Calendar, in snying when it was autumn* 
 
 To convey a ni*>re just and certain idea of the severity ol an U|>- 
 ncr Canadian Winte , it may be well lo mention that the chaSn of 
 shallow LHke> which lun in an easteil) , and south easteVly direction 
 from Lake Simcoe, towards the Midland District, are seldom 4ir !»«• 
 verfrosenso haid as to bear a man with any neavy burthen, with 
 mu( h falely, uniil Hbout Christinas ; and ihey are again open before 
 the middle of April. Owing to the want of a proper eiplanatiun by 
 travelleis, and oiher!>, atttMnpiing to describe this country, ao errnno- 
 oufl idea has b«en formed in England that our Gieat Lakes are frosen 
 over m winter; whereas they are always open, fretjuentiy exhibiiin|; 
 a bbautiful and striking pbenitmentm during the inclement iseakon, by 
 reason of the water being warmer than the ainiospberical air; in con« 
 »e()oence of which, an evaporation rese.mbling sleuin, and in e\ery 
 variety of shape, in clouds, columns, and pyramids, may be fre- 
 quently observed ascending w illi uncommon graodi ur and magntfi- 
 cence from the va'>t surfaces of Ontaiio, Erie, Huron, and Superior, 
 as from so many imineuf^e boiling caldrons We r«cullect an eminent 
 lanilscape-painler and designer io England, who, when abotit to de- 
 sign a landbra[ie, was art u.^toined to seal him^lf in an armed chair, 
 in the centre of a large room, and, by means of tobacco and • pipe, 
 send (orth column after column of tobacco !>mukc, in rapid succes- 
 sion, with a view of afsi'ling his imagination iu the combination 
 of forms t»y the new, singular, and gr« letquo sha]»esiulo which the 
 smoke would embody itself. — Those artists who n<ay retpiire aidit of 
 this description, would do well to secure some eminence overlooking 
 one of the grea' Lakss jui'l enumerated, whereon to build an obser- 
 vatory : for, :notbiug can be more grand than the spectacle to which 
 %i'e have alluded. 
 
 It is the small, and nearly stagnant, bays, and for a few yards only 
 fiom the shores, i* here iiit> water is ^hallow, that any part ot the 
 Great Lakes is (rosen in w inter. I'he earth too, is seliioui frozen at a 
 greater depth Ihc.ii 'r<»m 12 to 18 inches, and the snow rarely liei- ia 
 
 f;realer depth than from il8 inches to two feet, unless w heie it is diifled. 
 I is very seldom the roads are in any permanent condition for ilie use 
 of the SUigh or Carriolt belore the second week in January, and ihey 
 are again broken u|> towards the end ot March, a tact u hi< b Milictent- 
 ly indicates the duration of snow and cf sharp fiu>l>>. Iiis proper, bow- 
 ever, to remark, that the winleisot Lowei Canada, (being in a bigh«ir 
 latitude) are^oth more severe and of binger duratu>n. 'i here is a 
 difftire nee of at least one month iu the length of the inclement seasoa 
 
 * in the Western District, therulureof both Cotton and Indigo 
 has been attempted, on a small scale, with success; and Vim-yai^s 
 and i o> Gardens may be laid out advantageously ii^altevst any part 
 of the Upp«r Proviuce.

 ■( Quebec, and on tlie shores of Lake Ontario ; nnd, farther westwnrd, 
 Id the Sandviich Frontier, ibio favourable difference is ititl greater. 
 In (Jiiner Canada a labouring man, if he chooses, can at ell limes woik 
 (tut of duors ; but in the Lower Province there are days of particular 
 severity, in the wjnter season, in which it would be impossible for him 
 tu pursue out dnors work. 
 
 There are natural phenomena in the climate of CxitiOA which re* 
 main unaccounted for. and are suffici«>ntly puzzling even to tlie most 
 philosojihical gedius. CH the^e, the Indian Summer, which almofet 
 nnifiMUiily commences and terminates in the month of Novembfr; 
 niid the tertian intervals of fine w<>Hlh«r, Ihrnu^lioul the winter, efler 
 twoorthiee lAghia uf iia«nse frosti dcecrve to be parliculary men- 
 tinned. 
 
 T!ie [ndian Summtr a« it i) fcrmrd. consi:ts of many days, (tha 
 Indians say Iheie mutt be fifteen smokj/ day» In constitute one of theee 
 snnimers,) of deligtitfully uiild, serene weHther, with a mi»ty, hasry 
 atmosphere, though the haee is dry and soft, appearint^ to r«sl chiefly 
 on the horieon.— In the eveuiitg uf these days, the sun gruerally goes 
 down witti a crimson flu«h on the western heavens. The general teni* 
 peralure of the atmosphere, during this season, is singularly grateful 
 to animal sensation ; and, those of the feathered tribes who are di- 
 rected by an inftillible guide to seek other regions, more to the south 
 ward, on thu approach of boary-heaiied winter, avail themselves of 
 this charming season for the prosecution of their intereitting journey ; 
 and it i« at this time the rivorsand lakes of Caiiada are covered by in* 
 numerable flocks of wild fowl, of every species known to this quar- 
 ter of the world, gathering with their families fur winter quarters. 
 
 By what is termed tfrlian intervalt of fine weather, through the 
 winter season, is meant a veryeilraordinary and certain phenomenon 
 that may be relied upon with the same surety as the diuroiii motion of 
 the |>iaaets. The greatest intensity of frost it ahoayt remillanl at the 
 end of the third day ; tliat is, the inhabitants of Upper Canada never 
 sufl'er the eilreme severiiy of tiieir ciiuiatefor more than two or three 
 dtiys at any onetime ; being periectlyatsured. on leeliuganyeitreme 
 decree of cold, that it will mitigate williin three days, and that teve* 
 ral days of mild weather will succeed —It may reipiire several years 
 of attentive ob«ervatiun tu ascertain the number and duration ot the 
 intervals of mild and severe weather that usually occur in a Canadian 
 winter between tlie 43J and 49lh d>igi'ees of North Latitude ; but it 
 would prove a suhji>rl of very interesting and instructive inquiry to 
 any gentleman of sufficient leisure to pursue it in the country. 
 
 So many persons have been deterred from emigiating to Cavada 
 through a iajse notion of its climatis lieiog frightfully severe, that it 
 seems to be a duly incumbent on tliose who s^peak or v%riie for Hie

 It may be readily supposed that in sutfh a vast eitlent of country e« 
 wary descripthin of soil, andevery variety of ftuifaca, «• to moun- 
 tains, hills, vallies, and plains must oieur. Speaking of the iiiba* 
 biledparN of Canada, the Uowor Province i»-the most mountain- 
 ous, and the Upper Province the mo»t levu[ and rharopaign ; indeed, 
 from the division line on Lake St. Francis (o Sandwich^ a distance 
 of needy sis hundred mles, nothing like a mounlain occurs, al- 
 though the greater part of Ihe country which is pa»ed through, he. 
 tfi^en tb«se places, is gently uiidul><ted into pleasing hills, fine 
 slopes, and fertile valKes. There h, hoWevtr, a ridge of lockyand- 
 generally (larien country, running north-easterly, and soulh-v«est- 
 eriy, through ihe Newcastle and iviidJand District*, towards the 0(- 
 tatii'8, or Grand River, at the distance of from 6t) to U)0 miles from 
 tiir ncirtbern shore of Lake Oolario, and the- course of the River St. 
 Lawrenoe;arid^e which divides and directs the course of innumera« 
 ble streams, those on one side running to the northward, whilst those- 
 on the oiher run to the southward, and empty themselves into 
 Lake Ontario ur (he River St Lawrence — 'Ibe base of this rid^e has 
 an elevation of not less (hnn 200 fent above tlie level of Ontario, and 
 is rich in Silver, Lead, Vopptr, and Iron.* 
 
 Farther to the north, beyond (he French River, wbicb falls into Laka^ 
 Huron, are irumeiise mountains, some of them of vast^nd unknown 
 degrees of elevation. Many of the mountains which descrilie the 
 great vally of Ihe St. Lawrence, are from 3000 to 4000 feet, above the 
 le%'ei of the river, and that part of the chain which approaches the 
 city of Quebeo, On (he northern side of the river, is woriby the atten- 
 tion of the geologist and mineralogist, in a particular manner, from 
 the hope there is every reason to entertain that these mountains yif':i 
 several rare, and vatunhte, kinds of earth for pigments, wnich may 
 hereafter become articles of commerce. When in Quel>eo, in the 
 ^ear 1316, the writer uf thii Skelch was shewn several fine specimens, 
 IN i^ie Seminary of that City, which had bei'n procured in these moun* 
 tains at no great distance from Quebec ; amongst which may be man* 
 tinned a rich brown resembling the mndyke brown of artists ; • yellow, 
 ef|ual to that ofJ^apUt ; and an ektraordinary fine blue, of a tint be* 
 tween that oilndijto and the costly VUra marine. The subject is men* 
 tioned. in this place with a view of exciting further Inquiry, andeipe* 
 riment ; bevau!:e, at present, the artists and coluurinen uf London, 
 are principally supplied with their most valuable pigments from Italy.

 litis iiltiK fikiMch is to give the stranger a general idea ol the nature of 
 that part ot the country in which we are writing, we must go back to 
 Hie soil of Upper Canada, and ' speuk of its quality; wliich, in its 
 u ild or uncultivated state, may be known by the specks aud fine 
 growth of tiie timber with v^hirh it \* covered.

 without tlie Applicalion of manure '—The general average of the re- 
 turns ot Wheal orofn, however, throughout Upper Canada, probably, 
 is not more than 26 busheit per acre, owing to tbn space occupUd by 
 ttumiM, and the indifferent skill of (he ordinary tarniers. * The win< 
 ter wheals are found to be most productive, and they weigh lb» 
 heaviest. 
 
 Of Indian Corn or Maize, from 60 to 80 bushels per acre, is not aiii 
 uncommon return ; and of Pumpkins, of the largest Mode, we have 
 tnslaiives of wore than a ton weighl being produced from a single 
 seedr 
 
 But there cannot be a more certain indication of the depth and 
 rlchne«8 of the soil than the fine growth of the timber which it pro* 
 duces; and, we have not unfrequeuiiy measuted particular trees of 
 thaupecjes ofuhite oak which grows in low moibt places, and whicb. 
 is usually caDt^d ttaamp oak, that gave circumferences of 16 lu 17, 
 and 18 feet, and an altitude of from 30 to 40 feet tu the 6r8l bought 
 And we have mor<* than once, on the rich lands to the northward of 
 Rice Lake, found White Ptne trees that gave adinmeUr of ^^e /eel, 
 and aa altitude of two hundred! These are facts that detrruiine at. 
 once the depth, richness, and vpg«lative power of the soil, sinew 
 those giants of the forest are not nourished by the heavens whiclfc 
 they pierce, but by the earth from whence they spring. 
 
 Vegetation is so rapid in thi:i country that Barley sown the last week 
 in Julif, hail been reaped in the second week of Septembtr, for seve- 
 ral years succesMvely, and on land that was deemed poor and e&- 
 bausted, and a more abuodant crop has lieen seldom witnetsed. 
 
 From every observation and experiment that hns been made, no 
 doubt can be entertained of the great lerttlity uf the soil of this fine 
 country, not only every vegetable production which thrivea in si- 
 milar latitudes in Ekirope prosper here; but others. wlUch rerpiiro 
 either greater heat, or greater care, are found m succeed in Canada^ . 
 without any particular attention. The finest itfe/on« and Ciuumbers. 
 are brought to perfection in the open field*, aitd tobacco is cultivated, 
 with the greatest success. Even the wild Grapea become ripe by the 
 first or second week in September; so that there is every reason to 
 believe, if vineyards were cull ivated,. the inhabitants of this coun* 
 try might add a variety of choice nine* to their list of articles of 
 home consumption, and of foreign trade. We have drank of a wine 
 veiy nearly resembling, Mid but little inferior to, that of OportOt 
 whicli was made from the common wild grape of the country. 
 
 It is remarkable, throughout this country, that the soil and growth 
 of timber upon the immediate banks of the rivers and lakes is infe- 
 rior to that of the cituntpy farther back; and il appears that all the lar* 
 ger rivers and lakes have a second bank at some distance behind that 
 whiiih at present bounds the waters. This is even the ca»e with the 
 St Lawrence and the Great Lakes. On another occasi in, when our 
 limits are not so circumicrihed as thry necessarily are at proMnt, w« 
 may venture upon an eiplanaiion of these phenomena. ^

 Tb all newly dlscoVercd countries, that are thickly woodecl, the nm*> 
 vigablu waters are the great tboroughfares along which the inhabttantt' 
 must r.oaduct (heir business.- The first settlements are therefore for- 
 med a!ong the banks of the principal rivers and lakes ; eitending back* 
 wards, only by, slow degrees, as the lands in front are occupied. In 
 Canada, a reibarkable exemplification of this kind of progress has been, 
 seen. A loiig iiraifglin^ setilement from a hundred and fifty miles be* 
 low Quebec, to Sandwich, being a distance of more than a thousand' 
 miles, was formed before the people ever thought of penetrating into 
 (be interior for any other purpose (ban that of hunting, or for bmrlef 
 with the liidians. frven at this day (be most remote ultled Tounihipi,' 
 from the frontier waters, with the exception of the road from York to - 
 Pen'<tanguishene, is not more than from 40 to 60 miles. It is notf 
 tberelore, in this country, asit is- in the back parts of the United 
 States, Mhere an emigrant, purchasing land, has frequently the painful * 
 necessity of commencing his establishment at a vast distance from any - 
 neighbours. In Canada there is abundance of the most fertile land in^ 
 every variety of situation, in the midst of, or closely adjoining to, ao> 
 tive settlements, that may be had from Governmettt on the payment 
 of the undermentioned fees.

 Some nf these Townthips are on (he same level with, and others 
 of them are even to the southward of, lands ftraoled long a^o ; so that 
 the advantages secured liy those who may be inclined i<» settle in these 
 New Townships, (on acc(»Unt of the low fees and the excellent water 
 communicitlion which they posses^,) are important. Tbose of the 
 ahi>ve Townships which are situated upon (he larger Lakes, and upoa 
 the river Otonibee, which falls into the Rice Lake, e'e the most at* 
 tractive to settlers whose pursuits are tbuiie of Agriculture. 
 
 Every facility is given to the Settler, who can take the number of 
 vacant lots, in any particular Township, and go and jndge for him* 
 self as to the situation and tpialily of the land, before lie makes bia 
 location ; so that, if he makes an improper choice, he has no one to 
 Maroe but himself. To save trouble and expense to the poor emt* 
 grants, who arrive in this country for the purpose of settlement, Comq- 
 Iry Land Boards are established in every Oiilrict where there ar<> any 
 vacant lands belonging to the Crown, for location ; and these Land 
 Boards are empoweretl to grant Tickets for SO, 100, and 2o0 acres; 
 but nqt fur a larger q>jantiiy.— II more than 2U0 acres is reqtiired, the 
 applicant must petition the Land Council at York. The applicant 
 mutt satisfy the Board that he is nut an jitun, and he Is required ta 
 take the Oaib of Allegiance. 
 
 The New Townships are formed out of recent purchases by Govern*

 vrilh a Constitution nearly on a model with that of England ; but 
 wiibuut the veialious o:<eration o{ n fjjihe sifttemt with stiarce'y any

 this occasion. Were it not foi the diff>4r«nce of s<ceneiy and climate, 
 ■ man emigrating from England to this country would scarcely feel 
 tenable of any immediate change, since he finds the same laws, man«

 had fdrmerly known 
 
 With all these superior advantages and enjoyments, which are snch 
 ■s can be had in no other col.ony, some individuals may b'' found to 
 undervalue them, and l>e discontented, but these instances serve as 
 lessons toothers.— Let one of them be here named.— A man who arr

 "In 1795, thepariyhof B^rkham, in Berk<>hire, contained 200 tn« 
 habitants, of wiioiu about 4(N besides the tick, received rf>lief to ihe 
 viiiount of jC7» a y«'ar. The average expense of suppoiting the fami- 
 lies of lab'iurers in BHrkliam was then about i^25 each ; making the 
 rate of £75 to be divisible amongst a r'lmber of people equivalent to 
 three ordinary families, which may b<^ -.ty..^ to be the number in i;t- 
 cess in ibe want of employment —-If :'•>; j-arish coutd be dislMirdeued 
 ef ibese three families, and employment should not vary, those left

 '* The means for settling thcee families in Upper Canada is assumed 
 to be a loan »f t.t>t>0, tu be i'e>iaid in ikii years, as before stated, and 
 thi^i sum will be raited ensiiy by a mortgage of the rates under the 
 sanction of an Act of Parliament — Tlius the rales will be lowered 
 forihwith to the intvrest of that loan ; viz : t«i £30 a year from £75 ; 
 and ibey will decrease cominually in proportion as the loan shall be 
 repaid, and as the towu plot and other land apportioned to the pa« 
 fish shall become maiketable. This will be variable to point of time; 
 and the amount <>f the proceed^ will depend on the general prospe- 
 riiy of the whole settlement ; it can hardly fa I of making a very 
 eonsiderable return within seven years of ihu colonists quitting En- 
 gland. Accordion to the Cipenditure ot Burkham, the rates for a sur* 
 plus population of one hundred families is £26M0a year. Upon this 
 income it would be easy to borrow £2(t,0(X) under the authority ot au 
 Act of Parliament. The interest on which beins taken at £IOt>0 a 
 year, the parish from wliich the colonists coufd proceed, would make 
 a present annual saving of £1500. 
 
 *' Since the publication ol the foregoing sketch, several individu-

 of money The que<ttion will be, can they " in the depressed state 
 of Agriculture," produce, not a surplus of corn, but a surplus of 
 money ? 
 
 In what follows, the farmer and his sons are presumed to buy eve- 
 ry article at the market price, and to dispose of the produce at the 
 same; any praciinal man will at once notice that, if the ptcrty were 
 established on iheir farm, and living upon their own produce, as in 
 Canada the farmers universally do, the money eipenditure would not 
 he'one third of what it is here estimated at ; for instance, instead of 
 giving Rvp pence for a gallon of Atiur, the farmur would send wheat 
 lo the miller, and receive in relnra his proportion of jBour, tull being 
 detained for working it. The same in regard to his whiskey ; and 
 with respect In his beef and pnrkr he would never have occanion lo 
 go to ibe butcher, as he has here been 8ii|iposed to do, and so forth.

 If these simple ralcuhtions he not rorrect, they may easily bft 
 contradicted and eiptised. if it should be thought a high vstimatei. 
 let half this 4urplu< be taken, as nearer the probable result; and it 
 cantiu! th'Mi be doubted that in the course of ten years the great ma-' 
 jnrity of the settlers will be free from any incumbrance. The only 
 objnetiou to this CRlculntion seem;* to he, that '* the York market 
 prices," may be reduced by the access of so inanv new growers of 
 cnrn *' But it is conceived that a very great falling off may he admit- 
 ted without risk »f destroying the prospects Itf these coloDista who 
 have ten years allowed for the repayment of their debt. 
 
 *' To a <i«ttlement of this description, the managers should devote 
 their whole attention ; and a leader of intelligence would be ampljr 
 remunerated tty the shire of wild lands to he apportioned to hiro in 
 respect of a colony of fioro 600to 2000 lamilies.*^ The necessity ofa 
 per-ional residence amouj^st the people during the time of distributing 
 Ihv lands, needs little illustration, after the eicellent example shewn 
 hy Capt Williamson, in the settlement fa part of Sir W. Pulteoey's 
 esiete in the Genesee country, in the State of New York, a ihori no- 
 tice of which deserves a place here. 
 
 Mr. MorriM had bought the land at Ave penee per acre, and, in 1791 
 sold one million of acres to Sir Vf m. Polteney at one shilling per acrei 
 
 * It is a very favourable evidence in >up|tort t>l ito tiiiiiioi'* plan, 
 for us to >tHte, that the price« ijuoled from the York Market in the 
 Spring of 1822, were very unusually low, and such as may be scarcely 
 eipected to recur. The Hverai;e price of \\ heal for the last seven 
 years in Upper Taaada oaunut be taken at lesi than four abillings cur

 auoiuier uf 1795 Thf produce not only refunded the purchase liiu- 
 ney and the wb'>le amount of the other eipense iucurredi but also 
 yielded H net profit of £60,(M)0 ^teriing. 
 The Plan heie allud-d to is n<>i altogether onj^inal on the part of 
 
 our friend B ■• siivje that famous Fa/rto/ JIfr Ovurlay, proji'cted 
 
 ■ scheme nearly similar in the yei'r 1817 ; and ll has always been a 
 subject of regiet to the writer uf lhiS'«Aefc/t, that one su well ijualified 
 to rtiomote the agiinuitural interests, and encourage fresh accessions 
 fo our po|)ularioni from other parti of the British Dominion.^, !>hould 
 have intermeddleil with nolitics ; since, on man> qu'^lionsef pitiili- 
 eal economy, and (specially on the subject of the Poor law* of En- 
 gland, that ecrentric being wait a perfect adept, whilst hi Polities lie 
 became not merely bewildered, but ariually insane. However, as to 
 the iuhodurtion uf Biilitth Paupers into the forests uf Canada, no 
 one anxious to witness the (irifspf rityol this country can have any ob« 
 jection, at leest on thiti sid^ the water if they come as well provided 
 
 K% our friend B proposes, viz ; wilb £*2U0 sterling tor each family, 
 
 of 6 persons ; nut we think the eipttnses are over rated, and have no' 
 (foubt that suchafamily, (parliculariy where this speeien of emigrn- 
 tiun was carried on extensively) could be r<»tnoved'and settled down 
 eomfortably, witti all that was neceiisary to preserve it from beco- 
 ming any kind of burthen whatever to others, tor £K)0 sterling* — We 
 ar<' quite certain there are mmty persons, on whom the must' perfect 
 relianue could be placed, who would be very clad to nnderlakn the 
 remuval and settlement, in this couDtry, of 2)Mtueh famUiet tor the 
 sum of £2t) 000 sterling 
 
 Whilst on this gubjej^, it nui<ht tii'be mentioned that there i**now a 
 man in the District oPNewiaAtle', who came out a little more than^ 
 two years ago, without a single shilling in bi« pocket, bit health ainl^ 
 the use of hiK hands were ail His dependence. A short time siuise, 
 this ^ilne man disponed of a yoke of capital Osen and a fine Cow 
 whica be had earned over and above what he required upon hi^ Ultle 
 farm, (m which he had besides, two excellent Cows and a targe stock 
 of Pigs, left for store pigvand for breeding, after having packed tour- 
 teen barrels of poik Jl' e bad also purchased a Re*erve Lot frnro a 
 neighbour, on which he liad sown several acres of Fall Wheat; and 
 in the following year: (his third.) he prnpases building a goinl framed 
 house, logelber with a large bam. The means for aceompiisbing all 
 these rtioTts: so vaM for one in his or^nal mean eiroumstaiiees, have 
 been earned in an honest and fair way by iacoiing on shares, ati it is

 Enough, it in conceived, has now been »iHid to >>hew the advantages 
 held forth in Canada ti> the poorer cla'ses of society, on an occasion 
 where the lituits for di^cuiision are &u much nariuw«d by the necessity 
 of reijaVdirig other subjects. 
 
 The field which is hero presented to men of an higher order, and 
 to capitalists, is so exlen^ive, and requires so much detail, as well 
 as aiKument and illustration, to demonstrate, that we cannot pretend 
 lo enter m on it with any fullness on this occasion ; nor would it, in- 
 deed, bealtoxeiherafit subject for di'iCU>sion in a mere jibe/cA like this; 
 However, a* it is not improbable this lilile woik may fail into tha 
 hands of peisons aniious for some information on this head, a few 
 brief remarks shall be added, reserving a fuller statemtnt fur anotliery 
 and a more enlarged opportunity. 
 ' Of the liberal professions, Clergymen are most requited, and Law* 
 yers the lenst needed Such a provision has been made by the l^upe• 
 rial Government for the extHblished Church, without any demand or 
 tyihe from the |>Aople, a^ roust evenluHlly make the Canadian Clergy 
 (should thiut!!S remain constituted as they now are^ the most puwerult 
 wealthy, aud influential body to be lound in any country, ancient or 
 mndwn, n(t less than one seventh of the whole toil being set apart for 
 its use and support. It is true the incomef^ at | resent derived from 
 tills va^t appropriation, is scarcely worth narniniC, hut it is every day 
 iticreasinft, and it i'» impossible to say lo whai extent ii may hereafter 
 arrive. There are a great many -iiuations 'u various paria of the 
 Province, where Clergymen, who u>»uld be active in the performanvt 
 of tbeir important duties, are .nuvh want>-d. 
 
 An act of the provincial parliament prevents English or Scotti^k 
 Attornici from practicing iieie until they have »• rved a Clerkshii^ of 
 the same duration as iii requited from Law Students^n this country, 
 viz: — Five yrart actual tervtce. under articles, to a Practising Attorney 
 of ihi^ Province Ke^uiai Barristers, howevffr, or any person who 
 has been called to practice at tiie Bur of any uf His Majesty's superior 
 Court!, not having merely local Jim isdictlon in England, Scotland, or 
 Ireland, or In any of His Majesty's Provinces in North America, on

 ** Suppose a Company were fornicd la England to promote the a-

 would they derive any return for their aaiUtai ? 
 
 ** Were such a Company in possession of Ihe Crown Reserves in 
 •ny District, a new iinpetus would he piven to the Province. By good 
 rocds and building mills on tife'blacks or tracts, the lands would ioi* 
 mediately beevaie valuable. Offices for the sale of the lands might 
 be opened in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, furnished wilh correct

 Towa»bips, Ihe Reserves would be parehased by the native inhabi-

 *• What du you conceive would he the most effectual mode of en- 
 couraging emi|ranis possessed of a little Capital to settle in Canadui 
 ind«|«od«nt of the cheapness ot the land ? 
 
 " Were twenty or thirty aeres cleared in lots of 200, it would be a 
 great rndoceteent to that class of emigrants to sit down at once in 
 Canada ; but ci^rtainly the most efficacious way of inducing emi^rMiita 
 to go to Canada and remain 'i.t the country, would be to help then 
 witb tbe means of clearing the lauds and suttliog themselves; 
 
 '* Suppose a company vieie formed in England for thie purpose what 
 would he the source of income, or the return for tbe capital so in vested ^ 
 
 *• Ibe company should have lendii on easy terms from government ; 
 it should agree with settlers to take their luuilii at a certain regulated 
 price, and assist' the settlers to clear them in the American way, taking 
 an obligation from tbe settler to r«^pay the money advanced, and the 
 price of tba land, within a certain period of years. Thus Mto diffe* 
 renee of the price paid by the company Iu Government, and iha 
 price which thf ooinpauy would ret eive from the settlers, would ia 
 my opinion eouktitute a certain source of return t» tfaa Company.

 eesaarily implies, that they ar* totally destitute, and to such settlers, 
 the atsislanee they receive is in aimostevere ease thrown away; 
 whereas, those postessed of capital (which is tha description of sdlera^ 
 for wliom (he information is sought in the quiery,) require no help far

 raise and cuitivRte diff«rpnt crops op to make improvements on their 
 farms, after thty art eteared, by the erection of buildinp, the promo- 
 tion of laudable schemes, soeh as building mills, draining, fincing, an<tk 
 other plans that would enhance the value of a eleared fartn or be aer- 
 vieeable to those in its vicinity, fl will never answer to advance 
 help to the settler who has no ea|>ilai of his own to enable him to ehar 
 his lends. The Bishop in his answer to the second query recommends 
 aMistance to be givea to settlers to enable them Jo clear lands in * the 
 jimmean wiqi,' irom which it niav be inferred that such a praeticto as 
 that of advancing means <e clear Umda to the settler is eommon in tba 
 United States This wa have ^very reason to think is not tha case. — > 
 Americans, or those so called, possets an uncommon tarn tor clearing 
 woud leads with facility They will clear the same eiteni at one ball 
 the eifiense and in one half the time a settler from the old country 
 could— and there are few of them so destitute of capital as to roquire 
 any help for this poriKisa;, Besides, the sentiments of these and of 
 British Emigrants are generally, so diametrically opposite, as Regards 
 the poisenion of lauds, that what ought be of service to the one would 
 be injurious to the other. When a native of Oieat Britain once be- 
 comes a proprietor of the soil he considers it as his stock in trade, ha 
 goes on to improve i(> not only to raise from it his present necessaries 
 and comforts, but to leave it as a portion and provision for bis family* 
 He has no intention o( selling, and nothing but its being unsuiiabia 
 for his parpi»se, or bis being pressed ' by necessity, will induce bim to 
 do so. What improvements he makes are not done to enhaore tbb 
 prise of his profierty when brooght to market, but to e'l*) to bis owa 
 comforts and Inereaso the means af providing fur his rK:i«dlren, The 
 American on the contrary looks upon a farm as a pieea of mereban- 
 dite, or the clearing land in the same light that a mcabaaie vie^s any 
 pieea of workmansbip, be is engaged- in. The sooner it is done tba 
 quicker be can bring it to market, and he never ealculates on recei- 
 ving any profitable return from it but by its sale To advance help to 
 the latter to (ilaar their farms, is the same as lending money to a mer- 
 chant to enable him to aaake a favourable speculaition, and which may 
 be returned nait day when he ei^cts a sale. But to |:ive an advance 
 te a British settler lo clear lands is hanging the weight of an abligatioH 
 npaa him which be cannot for years repav— and in addition to his 
 tkther difieultias, in clearing wood landsi k« has the melancholy rcica* 
 
to

 Hon to tbinSc tdat be is fn liebt, nntl wbile be in to, be vfewt tbe pos»i» 
 Muinn of his taroi not at a proprietor, but as a sort of iessfe. It it not 
 by thit lanil jobbing tjrtlena of retakinir the lutt after beinj; given out, 
 fur tbe vahie of the iinprovomentt, that will ever attract British farmers 
 to Ca»*da ; allbough such a plan would pnrbapt induce tonir of the 
 jlooerieant who tpecoUte in clearing ""d selling landt. It it the de- 
 sire of becoming bona fide tbe proprietor of the toil, and the hope of 
 eiemption from laiation, which formt the magnet of atlraeiinn to 
 British Emigraott in Canada ; none of them ever clear a farm with 
 the hofie of increasing tbeir capital by tbe sale of it , but in the et- 
 f ectation of its descending to posterity as an heir loom, and a fortuua 
 to secure their families frnm want. 
 
 Should the Canadian Land Company be to illsdvtiied at to foltow 
 tbe plan here recommended, thfy will soon discover the ill itonse* 
 fences of it. they will inundate the country wiih Eniigl-ants of no

 Sir, 
 
 A few days past I visited Brayn's Woollen Factory lately est»> 
 blished in Snutbwold, «it miles fioiu Port Talbot, the same distance 
 from St Tboiuas, and near the conflxence of Kettle Creek with 
 Lake Krie, oi which I beg iaavc to suhoait to you. a short account. 
 
 About three years ago, Mr. Richard Brayn, and his son Johoi 
 (la(« of LAnca<«Dire, England,) went into the woods and pilt io opera< 
 tion a Saw iMUI,on a lieauliful branch cf Kettle Creek, preparatory 
 to the erecting of this Woollen Factory The year fnllowiiis they 
 ■at going a CurdiNg Machine, and now they have coonpleled the c uth 
 Manufactory, taking wool in the fleece, and rfllirning it ready fof 
 the Tailor. They have in operation a Pfoki)i|t Machine, a doiiblt- 
 Carding Machine, which cnrdf about lOOlb*. of wool per diem ; » 
 Billy or roping machine, with 30 spindle.'., drawing 6 threads ofS ieet 
 lani{th per minute, and eajrable of woi king 60lbs. ot wool per day; 
 a Jenny for spinning yarn, witii 60 spindles, drBwing4 threads of 7 
 feel length per minute ; and .naking kIioui 26lbs o* yarn )tcr diem; 
 1 wo looms in operation, which can turn off about fiO yds. cloth per 
 day, and a fullinarand dressing epparatos sufBcient to finish the pro* 
 ttcdi of the Factory, together with what custouiers wuik thry may 
 receive. 
 
 Thdy informed me that thry bad received Miisiiejiiion about '%0001b>i 
 M Wool for mMoufacture ; bad carded ntx<iit 0,6OOlbs. lor cusiomen, 
 and taken in KlOpieoesof cloth tor fulling afid dressioir. 
 
 They mad.- the whole of the macfainery on the apot, except the 
 apindifs, which came from Lnglatul. The Brayn's themselves were 
 the artisit, except lor the heavy hlack«(Dith's work, which honever 
 was performed under their iromediaie insppotinn. Tbey are ingenioua 
 enierprlsing mechanics, and deserve much praise, as well as iboge- 
 nerttas support of the puhlie, for their industry and peraeneraiice in 
 ere^-.iihg such valuable works i»this new settlemenir which as faraif

 named, were a match for all France ; or, that Finland was capable 
 of defending itself against the enormous power of the Russian Auto* 
 crat. Enough, however, has been ^aid on tho subject bare. 
 
 The enports of Canada are ulready considerable; and, from the 
 encouragement held forth oy tha " Trade. Jict" passed during the last 
 Session of the Imperial Parliament, in favoiir of this country, il is 
 but reasonable to expect they will be groally increased in a short tinte. 
 Since the last war with the United Slates the exports from the t«;o 
 Provinces have averaged (iMcludin<; Furs and PeHry*j about iJLftlHJ^ 
 000, and from 600 lo 700 ships are now employed every JTtar in t1)6 
 foreign and coasting trade. Thetnnnaue erii|itoyed during the present 
 year (1824) by the Cus'om Mousr returns at Quebec, is oo less ihau 
 148,477 !

 It tias otien lieen asserted tliat the prmy of Wales, and the (lalln* 
 way of Scotland, arts superior, for their size to any oilier horses in 
 the world But \hm writer of this article has no doul>t that horte* can 
 hetound in Montreal and Qu^-bce of 14 hands hiigh, andundpr, that 
 fordravving, or carrying, ht^nvy weights, and for tiot torn, and «heer 
 fanrdibood would far surpass the horses of any other country, not 
 eIce|>tin^ even any (>ari of Great Britain, which is so justly re- 
 nowned for the excellence of its Ptmies as well as for the matchless 
 character of its Hutiters and Race Horses; — since the little •lori'e? 
 of Lower Canada are every day (terforming what m ould he deeaird 
 great ox}»iuits were they recorded in the Sportsman's Alneazine. But 
 excellent »=* Ihrse hitr-ieiiare, their inferior size reud'Ts them unfit for 
 many purposes of draught. 
 
 The horned cattle of this country, merely want good winteting, 
 and more attention, than is now generally paid, to a judicious croM 
 in breeding, to he every thing thai a farmer could de^iri*' 
 
 Sbce(t are for the (;reaier part imported tmm the United States,* 
 and have more ur less of the * Merino' in Jheir breed ; too mui-b so, 
 in our opinion, to be so profitable in this climate, ^nd .with the care- 
 less mati4gement they receive, as they may be. It is thought that the 
 improved ■' Cheviot,' whose flneue is weighty, and possesses a long 
 sta(ile, might he introduced into Canada with grf-at success, and it . 
 is well worh while to inuku the experiment -^II is to he lamented 
 Ihnt the difTdienl breeds of sheep are not more generally cultivated 
 than they are in Canada, as the climate is veiy favourable, to ttie 
 growth of wool, wliicb might hereafter bRcome a valuable articio of 
 export ; and, what is very remH) kaltle, aliliough little or no attention 
 jo paid to these useful animals, they are not here subject to the same 
 di^'irdexs which are so frequent in oreat Britain, lucb as the scab, the 
 ro/,ihe/oo< rot. itc. ^c 
 
 There are many who wish for an importation of the largest breed 
 of English Hogs, to give weight to Iho^e of ibis country, as well as 
 to'rfnder them ot a more ' kindly nature,' as a breedfr would term 
 it But, there is n>t the smallest doubt Ihnt a skiltui and attentive 
 f«rnier, who is a gond manag^^r, may have aberd nl H<>k»« without 
 leavinK Canada, equal to eT<?iy thing that he may desirr H<>gs 
 which arriveat the weight of 3t>0 lbs are lurely hedvy enough for 
 ordinary consumption, and we have trpqiienily known in-tance* of 
 their a riving at «Hcb a weight in Canada, without any particular at- 
 tion being paid to them. 
 
 So much has now been said on subjects that may be deemed, Ja 
 general, foreign to a puMiceiion of thi$i nature, thai the writer is a- 
 fraid of enlarging his sketch until hc> know.« how lai ii may prove ao- 
 cnptable to the public. ShiHild he bavt- the happiness to find bis I'lan 
 ai>|i<oved, ht* will undfi'take to woik up by degrees, what is now 
 little more than a rough outline, very hastii> >kr.tcbed, inl« a mure 
 finished picture, for the succeeding volumes «l this work, which he ia

 From the retreat of Jvlius C^sap, to the invasion of ('lavdios, 
 I t>«rind of ninety ttvtn yean, but little is known of the M</na>ch8, 
 Princes oi Chieis of the hhnd. — Neither Auovstds, TiBf,HlO*> nof 
 Calioitla, (although the latter Emperor had colUitled an army of no 
 le»8 than 2M0.OOU men un the opposite coast of Gaul) attempted tho 
 invasion. 
 
 At the period of the invasion of Claddics, we hear much of Ca- 
 ractacos, a native Prince, who seems to have been worthy of the 
 fame which lias been bestowed upon him by every hidoriau of that 
 aee \ and, after l(im, the renowned Boadicia, Queen of the lerni* 
 who was at one time, and in one engaKemeMt, at the head of 230.000^ 
 inen.—From the defeat of this immense a: my to A. D. 207. the Sou-> 
 (betn parts of Britain were chiefly under the rule ot Guvarnurs sent 
 Ihithfr from Rome; amongst whom, Aoricoi.a was (he bft»t, and 
 the most famous :— he not only defeated the CuUiiomans in many 
 battles, but v« as the first who circumnavigated thirj^aiid, and delfi^ 
 mined, lis entire coast. V* 
 
 * I he /ceni* inhabited the t'ounliet of Suffolk, iNurfulk, CaioUridg,*, 
 and Huntingdon.

 It was in ttie year 207 Ibat the emperor Sev£RO» arrived in England, 
 where lie leni&ined for tuur yearn, and built the »tu| tmduii* ttail, 
 from tea lo »ea aoui^s the island towards the nuilb. which bears his 
 name :^t -vas for the jii/rpoie of cheeltiiif;, it not to prevent, the

 by hi^arniy, rrmainhD an im^terifhable inunumeot, withiu a mile and 
 a half of tbf city walls un o this day;* 
 
 After the depnrtiirp, from B'iiain, of the two nfw Emperors, Ca- 
 KACALLA and G&TA to the accetsion of Dioolisian in 284, the Go- 
 verumiMit remained in the hnnds of a- regular succession of Roman 
 Vicegerents, though but little is known of thai long and dark period 
 of uiir history. 
 
 It was about this time that the Frarikt nod Saxont began (e figure on 
 the :ttiigfl of politics, and of vrar, acting .chiefly as pirates. We hear 
 of*coii»iderahle nu libers of these people di»tinguishing themselves 
 uod^r jiUeiui, in his opposition to Comstamtius, when Lont/on wai 
 forlunaleiy preserved from utter destruction, in the veer 296. 
 
 roNSTANTinE the Grent be^an his reign and splendid career at York, 
 A. D 3i*6. ' His •violhe" /i'e/ensi, is said to have been a daughter of 
 CoiLi one <>f the native Kings of Britain —Many have affirmed that 
 this Kmjieror was born in the island t and his warmest panegyrist ex- 
 claiins, with mucti energy, ^^ O fortunate Brilain ! more hnppjf than 
 •// other lanit. for thou hatt first beheld Conttanline Cottar .'" 
 
 Atter tire death of lht<i great Prince, tha government of Britain fell 
 to his eldest son, who was likewisa named Comtanlint, and who wai 
 slain in the y<*ar 340. 
 
 Gratianus Funarius, the father of Valentinian, appears as the Ro-* 
 man Governor'of BritaU*. under the Emperor Conslnnline in 354i 
 
 Frboi tha yfar 367 t 75 the excellent end brave Theodofius was 
 Governor. FiOn» tl; iod to 381, when he assumed the Purple, 
 
 the Empi'ror JVlMiimux, ^iio itad married the daughter nf a British 
 Prince, hi^ld the Government. B^h Theodosius, and Alsximus were 
 very much beloved by the people. 
 
 From the dale ui 31)3 to 4 12 we hearnf Chrysantus, and Vielorino«, 
 a* the mililaiy representatives of Imperial Rome ; and, from 418 to 
 4!(1 we find Cjailin, a general ot great ability, acting as Governor -— 
 Afterwards, to the arrival of the Saxons in 449 began the roost di- 
 sastroui) and melancholy period in the whme liislury of our country, 
 har•«^sed by Incessant attacks from the marauding Scot<, and the yet 
 more bHrharous picis, she became the prey of hoMe alter horde of 
 lawless ravage:* from the north till she bad little left for tbe fami*^ 
 abed vagabonds to plunder. 
 
 * There is a tradition aroongil the country- people of that part of. 
 Torkfthire, which the wri'er of thi< sketch has often heard, »till re-

 Note — Could it have been for^se^D that documents of 
 10 much iiuportanre (as thf! AsbESSMRNT Rolls of the Pro* 
 TiNCE iindouhtedly ar») were gener \\y formed in a very 
 slovenly manner; notwithstanding; the provisions of the 
 Statute in such raae made and directed ; wp slioutd 
 cert;iinly have used more caution in prontisintj^ aamrate 
 Statistical Fables for the wiioh- Province, in tliii work. 
 
 But, it was impossible tt) conceive tl)at wliat to materially 
 concerni'd every Township and District in the country, 
 could, in many instances, have been so carelessly and im- 
 perfectly att nded to. Yet so it is, and it will require at 
 least 4ieveral years hc^foie this important and interesting 
 section of our work can be brought to any thing like a 
 state of perfection. In tin* mean time, however, many va- 
 luable di'dut'tions may be made from what is he'ie given; 
 which is authentic as far as it goes.

 Turn total valuation of the properly enumerfltpd in the fon^^going 
 TaMet, aipeam tu be £1,969074 I3s Id. '(error* txcepttd)— on 
 mbicblbo rate of one (lenny in tbe (Hiund ia collected for ihu local 
 unes vf ibe several Districts 
 
 A comparison of years with this ^tatemnnt, (which i< as perfer.tai 
 (be Bccuracy oi the Jocitmeiits from m hich we have had to compile, 
 Hould admit.) as suuceediiig editions oi this work lunke their B|t{tea- 
 renO't will shew the gradunl increase and improveto^nt of the re* 
 teu^-BVur theeountiy. 
 
 Bntt it k «iur duty to deeltre that, from long nb«ervatinns we are 
 obliged lo conclude, in general returns ul this natare, either through 
 dishonest motives, and a desire lo pay as little tax as possible, on (he 
 part of (he atsrtsed, or, through the cartes^nrss of iho«e einployfd tu 
 n^ke the returns, the reports are btlow Ihtlruc numbers, by about one 
 third', with the esco|>tion, of the taimher of Houses 
 
 Assuming this a* a fact, (of which we, ouoelvt^?, have no manner 
 ot doubt) for t^e amusemt^nt of our readers, as well a- for the infor- 
 mation of ttrnngers, we shall here place in round numtters the reo/ 
 amount of t:everal items in a general aggregate ; and, a most inteiei> 
 ting statement it is ! 
 
 UppkR Ca!<aba, from the best evidence that can be at present ob* 
 taincd, has now, 
 
 * 989 249 Acres of Land under cultivation. 
 304 Unst Mills, 
 38d baw Mills, 
 
 (All lkf$e Mills are wrought by vnler) 
 
 3!>6 Merchant's Shops eichii'ive of 6Yore . Forney. 
 
 * :^0 774 Horsef of three years old and upwards. 
 
 * ii!7,6l4 Oken of four years old and upward. 
 " 67 644 Milch Cows ; and, at least, 
 
 * 3...0<K) Young Cattle from two lo four years old. 
 
 4A9 Carriages for -Pleasure. 
 
 The items tiiAtked with an afteii>k (') have the cjie third alluded 
 to, added — The return of Giist and ?!«tw Mills, being more free from 
 suspcion, from the nature of the properly, reioaiua, in tbia view, m 
 sent by the Assessors. 
 
 Ill the preceeding quantities we have ronbidrred it wholly useless 
 to mention the number of acres ol wild or uncitUitated land ; becaufe 
 the returns are ridiculoHxIy bflowllie real amouAts, of which we will 
 here give the nio-t$Rti*fflrtory proof 
 
 There are at least 260 lownhhips of lend arJiinlly surveyed in Vr- 
 i»«R CAiiAD%;—t'iie!!e, accordin;; to instruction" froru the Surveyor 
 Uenerai's Ottice, nverngu aboul 66 (!<>*) Hrr(>!>«Bch; so that we have 
 urquestlonable evidtncc to shew that 17. ICO OtK) acres have been ac* 
 tuaily surveyed in lliii* Pinvince. Tot>Hy the least of it, three fourths 
 01 ttiHt quantity have been loouted, and, yet, what is the number uf 
 acres of wild land returned in the assessment rolls '—H'by about 2 
 ■tillions? 
 
 The stranieer oug't to he informed that, as the common hg-hnuut 
 M ttia country pay nu tan, ttity are nut meuiioatU in any of the re* 
 
>reseot ob' 
 
 in 
 
 T 
 
 toms.— We intendetJ to have given an abstraet from the Act or'Far« 
 liament. caiitainiiig the aeale by Which (he various kind* of i>ropertj 
 is valued ; (far btl(»w tb« true valu# ;) hut, as there is • enltimn in th* 
 returns fru'u tbi Wiattrn Dittriiet aufficienlljr accuratt> fur our | reieut 
 purpose, we deciinff occupy iog more s|>ace with that detail 
 
 Amongst the curious and inleiesting reflections occasioned by a 
 revicMr of the foregoing tables, the' e is one well worth) of altentijHf 
 from the extreme singularity of the fact which givf s ise to it — Nut* 
 with'tanding the wi»e provisions of the Statute 27< Hbnht VIII. ch. 
 6; and 32, Hcnry VII ch 13; in tbe succeedinfji Ri-ign, wben iln- 
 glaiid wa'< threatened with invasion by tbe Spanish Armada, in 1668, 
 after a general survey, urdtrrd for the express purpo-e, KtiKitiKTH 
 could find no more than 50,000 serviceable hoiae^ throughout her en- 
 tin kingdom ! 
 
 Here, in a country almost covered with wood, and apparently bat 
 ill ada|i(ed, in its present slate, ior the breeding of hor-es ; and set- 
 tled (with Ibeescei'tion ofa fp\v Frenchman on the wt-stern frontier,) 
 but little more tiian tbi) ty yeari, we have nearly as many horsis 4S 
 were to be found in all England at a most flourishing |)eriod ol ita 
 hitlory; — and, in both Canadas together, there U uow. beyond a 
 dQubt, at least three times the number of horses thni were 'elurned ta 
 the patriotic Queen Eliz abbth. on the momentous n* casion alluded to. 
 
 As a much better idea of the number of .tferr/ian/> Shopn in U. C. 
 eait be had (rem the returns of Licences made to the Inspbctor Gb- 
 i Niam., than from th" tables of assessments already ftiven, we fball 
 ' lultj'iiti a list of them, together with the numbri of Tavern Lictneea^ 
 lad DistUteries. and then close this section of the work, which it it 
 iiO|)ed- will be brought nearer to perfection in an'ther edition: when 
 I more accurate > etuiis shall have been made from the several Town'

 To Extinguish Fire* 
 
 For preservini; buildings frnin fire, Mr. Haitley's celebrated me- 
 tliod nf plates which is cheaper and 4Dore effrrtual than otber model 
 that have been trifd, is of the utmost importance in all buildings lo be 
 api>lied as a partial security in the spots mobt liable to be set on 6re. 
 To put out a fire an ci|ierinient has been tried which deserves further 
 enquiry — A modern Iraveliergive'^ this account al Augel^urgh ;—"\V« 
 saw an esperiment for extin(;uishin|> fire ; th<>y had made a fahri'-k of 
 b«>ards set rond with faegots, dry cloven wood and other combustibles, 
 Vrhen all was thorou^lily on fire, they threw in a little^barittl, it mnde 
 a Hmall eiplosion, and the fi'e immediately abated ; but conlinuiiiK

 THE Account tfa Terrible Eirth^uakr, which convul- 
 te'f and ravagtd a great pait ofCanadu , in the year ' 6C3. 
 WrUtm and preserved by the Je!>ui rg in their College, at 
 Quebec ; nnw republished in this place, for the purpose of 
 endeavouring to procure further confirmation of so extrar 
 ordinary a catastrophe, either by geologicAl widencif or 
 traditionary lorefroyn, the Indians. 
 
 It was on the 5th Fnbrunry, 1663, about half past fi?e 
 o'clock in the eveiiin;^, th.it a great rushing noise wai 
 heard throu;;hout the whole extent of Canada — This noise 
 caused the people to run out of their houses intothe streets, 
 aa if their habitations had bien on fire ; but instead of 
 flames and smoke, they were surprized to see thr wall* 
 ret'ling backwards and forwards, and the Btones moviofi 
 as if the}* wre detached from each other. The bells 
 sounded by the repeated shocks — The roofs of the buil- . 
 diners bent down, first on one 6id»> and then on the others 
 The timbers, rafters, and planks, cracked The e4rth 
 trembled violently, and caused tho stakes of the palisades 
 and pailings to dance, in a manner that would have biien 
 incredible had we not artually seen it in many placesii 
 It was at this moment that every one ran 4Bfiit of door9',i 
 Then were to be seen animals fiying in all directions, 
 children crying and screaming in the streets ; men and 
 women seized with afrri<rht, stood horror stru< k with tl>e 
 dreadful scene before tnem, unable to m*ve, and ignorant 
 where to fiy for refuge from the tottering walls and trem- 
 bling earth, which threatened every instant to crush them 
 to death, or sink them into a profound and immeasureiibld 
 abyss. 
 
 Some threw themselves en their knees in the 
 crossing their breasts and calling upon their saints toVij 
 lieve them from the dangers with which they were 8urronh<*^. 
 ded. Others passed the rest of this dreadful night in* 
 prayer ; for the earthquake ceas'd not, but continued at 
 short intervals, with a certain undulalitig impulse, resem- 
 bling the waves of the ocean ; and the same qualmish sen- , 
 sation, or sickness at th^ stomach, was felt during tb» 
 shocks, as is experienced in a vessel at sea. 
 
^*;

 The Tiolenee of the earthquake was greatest in the fo. 
 rests, where it appeared as it tiiere was a battle raging 
 between the trees; for not only th>*ir hranchr>8 were dea* 
 troyed, but even their trunks are said to have been detach* 
 cd from their places, and dashed at^atnsi each other with 
 inconceivable violence and confusion— so much so, that 
 tho Indians, in their figurative manner ofspeaking, declik* 
 red that all the forests were drunk. 
 
 The war al^o seemed to be carried on between the moun» 
 tains , some ol which were torn f om ther bedsi and thrown 
 upon others, leaving i'tunense chasms in the places fiom 
 whence they had issued, and the very trees with which 
 they were covered sunk down, leaving only tlieir tops a« 
 bove the surface of tiie earth ; others were completely 
 overturned, their branches buried in the earth and the 
 roots only remained above ground. 
 
 During this (general wnxk of nature, the ice, upwards 
 of six feet thick, was rent and thrown up in lart^e pieces, 
 and from the openings, in many parts, there issued f.hick 
 clouds oi smoke, or fountains ol dirt and sand, whif.h 
 •pouted up to a very considerable height. The 8pru^»s 
 were either cboaked up, or impregnated with sulphur.— 
 Many rivers were totally lost ', others were diverted from 
 their course, and their waters entirely corrupted. Some 
 of them beeeme yellow, otliers red, and the {rreat river 
 of St. Lawrence appeared entirely while, as far down as 
 Tadoussac. This extraordinary phenomenon must asto< 
 nish those who know the size of the river, and the immense 
 body of water in various parts, which must have required 
 •Qcli an abundance of matter to whiten it. 
 
 They write from Montreal that during the earthqunke, 
 they plainly saw the stakes of the picketing, or palisades, 
 juop up, as if they had been dancing ; that of two doors 
 lolhe same room, one opened and the other shut, of their 
 i^#$wn accord ; that the chimneys and tops of the houses 
 l^eat like the branches of trees agitated by the wind ; that 
 when they went to walk, they felt the earth following 
 them, and rising at every step they took, sometimes stick* 
 ing agaioit the sole of the foot, and other things, in a very 
 forcible and surprising manner. 
 
 From Three Rivers they write, that the first shock wai 
 the moit violtnt, and commeDCtd with a noiie resembling 
 
tlinnder. Th« hooses weri^ agitated in the tiiM manner 
 asiihe tops df trees during a tempeit, with a noise as if 
 tire WAS craokiing; in the garrets. 
 
 The first sliO' k lasted half an hour, or rather better, 
 though its greate.<it force was property not more than a 
 (quarter ol an hour ; and we beUeve iherc was not a single 
 ' Ij^ock which did not lause the earth to open more or tess. 
 lU for the rest, \ve have remarked, that tti»ogh this earth- 
 qua! e continued almost without intermission, y»*t it was 
 not always of an equal violttDce. Sometimes it was liiie 
 the pitching of a large vessel, which dragired heavily at 
 h*>r anchors ; and it was this motion which occasioned 
 many to have a giddiness in their heads, and qualutishness 
 at iheir stomachs. At other times, the motion was 
 harried and irregular, creating sudden^ jerks, some of 
 which were extremely violent ; but the mosi common was 
 a slight tremulous motioi>, which occurred frequently with 
 little noise. 
 
 Many of the French inhabitants and Indians, who were 
 «;e witnesses to the84;ene, state, that a great way up the 
 river of Trob- Rivieres, abou* eighteen miles below Que- 
 bec, the hills which bordered the rivers on either side, and 
 which were of a prodigious height, were torn from their 
 foundations, and piinged into the river, causing it to 
 change its course, and spread itself over a large tract of 
 land recently cleared : the broken '^rth mixed with the 
 waters, and for several months, changed the colour of the 
 great River St. Lawrence, into which timt of Trois Ri- 
 vieres disembogues itself. 
 
 In the course of this violent convulsion of nature, lakes 
 appeared where none ever existed before ; mountains 
 were overthrown, swallowed up by the gaping earth, or 
 precipitated into adjacent rivers, leaving in their place 
 frightful chasms or level plans. — Falls and rapids were 
 changed into gentle streams, arid gentle streams into falls 
 sad rapids Rivers in many parts of the country sought 
 other beds, or totally disappeared. The earth acd th« 
 loountaias arere violently split and rent in innumerable 
 places, creating chasms and precipices whose depths have 
 Dsver yet been ascertatjaed. Such dev (Station was also 
 occasioned in the woods, that more than a thousand acres 
 in our neighbourhood were completely overturned ; and

 As Tar as it has come to our knowleclge, this eartliqtiRkft 
 eitended more than 60Q miles in length, ond about 300 in 
 breadth. Hence 189,000 square miles of land were con- 
 vulsed on the same day, and at the same moment. 
 
 The third circumstance, which appears the most remar- 
 kable of all, regards the extraordinary proteition of Di- 
 vine Providence which has been extended to us, and our 
 habitations; for we have seen near us the large open- 
 ins^s and chasms which the earthquake occasioned, and 
 the prodigious extent of country which has beer either 
 totally lost or hidcooiiy convulsed, without our losing ei- 
 ther man, woman, or child, or even having a hair ol tiieir 
 heads touched.
