V LANDS IN UPPER CANADA TO BK DISPOSKD Ol- BY THE INCOUl'OHATEl) l»2(l. 0//;Vf /7< A'h. 13, St. IkUii's Place, Ii::lwjisii(itc-Slnrl, Loudon. Tli<. Canada Company, iiicoriionit«l by Royal Clmrtcr, under the provisions of iui Act of I'ar'iampnt, having contraclcil with hi« Majesty's Govornmoiit for the purchnao of the Crown Ue6or\c« and other land in the IVoviuce of I'pper Canada, and having made tho ncceiwary preliminary arrunpenients for commencing tlie settlement and improvement of those lands, do hereby give pjblic notice of the tanie, ibr the information of persons dcHiroiis to emigrate, or to convey or corduct cmiprnnts to that part of America. The inhabited part of the province of Upper Canada extenils along the ►horos of llie llivf; '■ Uwronoe nnJ the Jjikea Unurio snd Erie, from the Lower Ciuiada boundary line and the Ottawa Uiver, to tho Detroit Hiver and the U.k St. Cliur, a distance exceeding .01)0 mih-s. This space is divided into Districtf, which are sibdivided into Counties, and these into TuiiJiships, each containing, generally, about tan mUes square, or ()4,000 acres. The Townships arc further divided into CoHtfSsioH.s, by linoa running pnrallul to the Uivor. Lake, or settled Township, which U called tho Froni, and the Concessions aro subdivided into Lois, by lines running from front to roar of tho Township, which, by the inter- section of these Hues, generally at right angles, is thus laid out into a Dimjram. In the original survey and allotment of these Townships, o^ry seventh Lot was reserved for the use of His Majesty, and tho lots so reser\cd are Known in tho Province by the name of the i-itowN KEStuvKS, of which tho Company ha. contracted to purchase about 1,200,000 acres, in deUiched I/>ts, or separate t'nrDui, generally containing 'iOO acres oaoh. In some of the now Townships in Uie western part of the Province, that s.nenth part of tho land rewrved for the uso of His Majesty, instead of being so taken in detached lots, was laid out in B/oc*s, or masses of lots contiguous to each other, and containing from 'J.OUO to 10,000 aciwi. In a few cases where several Townshiia had been surveyed wilhout any such Lots or lilojia being resenod, larger Blocks were marked out in their vicinity, c-ntaining from 12,000 to 40,000 acres. Seventeen of these blocks, containing, in the whole, about 1(J0,U0U acres, are oomprised in the Company's contract. In lieu of a moiety of other reserved land, known by the name of the Cllkgy Ui:sekve», comprised in the original contract, the Company has obtained the grant of a Tract of one million of acres, which has been selected out of the land belonging to the frown on the south-eaot shore of Lake Huron, wliich is proposed to be called the ;/«ron Tract or T.riitory, and in the survey o'' which no laud is to b > reserved for the Crown or the Clergy. The inhabitants of tliis Tract, therefore, will bo cxtnipt from lui inconvenience much coniplaiued of by settlers in other parts of the Province— that of their Farms being separated from each other by Reserves, and other grants of land which rcmaUied uniKcupied and luicleared, forming an impediment to the continuous settlement of the country, until they acquired value from the labouis of the settlers around them, awl from the increase of population, v/hich the existence of such Reserves and granU of land remaining unsettled had greatly contributed to cheek. On thecoutrary, the whole of the land in tlie Huron Tract will at once bo open to unimpeded and continuous settlement; and in addition to the lalxKits of the settlers for their own benefit, and to the expenses which the Company may incur for tho improvement of their own property, they «r« nutliorized, under tlie contract, to expend above £45,000 of the purchase-money in such public improvements, wiiain tho Tract, as shall be apprfired by the Provincial (jovamment, or by tlie Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. The detached Lota of Crown Reserves bemg, as already mentioned, scattered throughout the different Townships all over the Province, and being, each as a separata property, of too Uttle v^e toiu^ilS' or remunerate exp'iisive preparations by tho Compimy for improvement and settlement, are to be offered for sale in their present €ondition.^Thos8 in Townships already inliabited will be snitable purcha-nes for persons desirous to locate thomMlves in old settlcmsnts, or near their friends already settled, or for settlers already located, who may wish to add to their property ; w bile some of the smaller Blocks may suit capitalists desirous to possess estates of greater extent than separate farms of -00 acres. The facilities to be afforded by the Ccmpany for the improvement and settlement of these detached Lots and smaller Blocks are, for tho present, limited to contributions for objects of public and general advantage, Luch as roads, bridges, &c. to several of which considerable donations have already been given, and to vMch, when of manifest utilitv to any Township in which the Company possess hind, tho Superintendant is authorised in erery instance to contribute in proportion to the fiill extent of the Company's land, in money, while the contributions of other proprietors or of the inhabitants may lie in labour. On the larger Blocks, however, and especially on the Huron Tract, it is contemplated to make various inipro\-cnienlB, to facilitate the locaticn of settlers, and to place botli those who possess some capital, and those who are merely able to defray the expense of con>eyance to their intended locations, in mich relative positions aa to render the capital of the one c:,,.-« and the Ubour of the other mutually available for their reciprocal Ijenefit. In both tliese plans of proceeding a considerable beginning has been made during tho year 1 827. Of the dotiiched Lots of Crown Rcscn-cs about 300 Lots, selected by the purchasers, and containing nearly 60,000 acres, have been disposed of at moderate prices, payable, generally, in five to seven annual instalments, with interest on tlin same till paid. On the largest of the Blocks, situated in the county of Halton, and district of Gore, and contaiujig above 42,000 acres, a town, now called Guclph, has been laid out in a central position, to which roads from the adjoining Townships have been opened at the expense of the Company ; and the progress made by the Town and the aettlemenU in its vicinity haa exceeded expectation, and is understood to bo without precedent in Canada. This Town it situated on a branch of the Ouso, or Grand River of lake Erie, called the River Speed, which is a coraidemble stream, with fijll in thfi vicinity of the Town sufficient to afford sites for fifteen or twenty mills. Limestone, easily quarried, and which makes excellent lime, is found in the immediate vicinity of these falls, and clay well adapted for making bricks is plentiful ; the land was fotind covered with heavy timber, so that rll materials for building were abundant, and no time was lost in improving these advantages. The operation of clearing the ground for the Town Plot was commenced on the 23d of April ; tho first building erected was a large house for the reception of settlers on their ■nival; and, as an encouragement to the early settlers, it was y -omised, on behalf of the Compai.y, to set a^rart one-half of the prices obtained for Town Lots as a fund for building a School-house, and maintaining a Schoolmaster ; while sites for Churches and Burying-grounds were given gratuitously to congrogstions of all religious denominations applying for the same. As a further inducement to early settlers, the pries at fine fixed for Town LoU of • quarter of an acre each, was twenty doUora, with tho privilege to purchasers to take up Farms in the vicinity, of fiAy atsTM each, at 7«. 6d. currency, or one and a half dollars per acre. These prices, however, being insufficient to pay the expenses incurred h^ the Conqany, were stdMequently raised, first to thirty dollars, and then to forty doUais for Town Lots, and to 10». and 12». 6d. p« acre for the Farms, and at these different prices, according to the respective dates at which the contracU were made, above 200 Town lots, and lfi,000 wresofland had been engaged previously to the Istof October; at wUch period seventy-sir. hoti»#» were buih, orboHding — a saw-mill »M in operation m ni I "ill J nil* i.Ji IK. w.i f^ titn f««<i'-"i'y L.i.i,iiy- a firwl-null wai m pruftm*- •> nutrkut-huuK, Iku unrm, tml tofenl Mnni liwl boon upcnetl— ncrernl u-idumatm ti luociaa* K Iwrf iwlakli'OHrl lkiuiMt>'l«v«i niiil found »iItiidIi<v'<<ou<< I'lnplurmriit — n Uni)ionir)r xbool-hnuie wm rt^ukirljr lUttiiHltMl l>y ■liiiti' I'trt* tkiUnm, tral iIh' liiuiid^ition ut ii iilcina bttil<liri|( I'ur a pirmnneiit •cbnol-liDUM \uA biscii luid -ii prititinft-oflnra wu in |jr>'|j«rnli<>a— anil, in >lM«t >f llu iiruRitiai ul iIim Town naiy Ui iiMinnuxt iit ■ rnUtrion fur ntli«r ■eltluinrau to b« op«n«d by tbt Coropaoy, it i« c/nuilvred lu afiiirtl ,^,^,1.^ aT«l>iiiea »t th* ctifeiinMli'"""!'- h'*"" by ''<" t'lmipony 'o M'ttlen i« tlieir IqikI*.

In reparil to the Soil, the most unc|iinli(led praise ia given by all tho exploring Party withon: exception. One of tho Gentlemen attitos, '* I " htm alretwiy ■dv<'rted to the nature ..nd fertiUty of the soil, and I think I may bo juatilicd in adding, that auch is tho general excellence of tho '* laad, tlmtif ordinary cnre be taken to givo each lot no more than ita own aharo of any small awaiup in ita .icinity, it would be dithcult, if not " inipiwHible, to liiid 200 acres together in the whole Territory which would make a lutd farm. Although tho land may be capable of miaing any kind " of pro<li couaual in tkat coontry, yet aonie spots aro more peci ".inrly advantageouii for particular crop*. For injtance, the black aah awalea (a kind . ** «if awainp) make tha beat ground for liemp, to, by tho acourgiug effect of two or thn < crops of it, the ground will bo made more fit for tho " raising of wheat, for which in the original state it is too strong. Tho rich meadows by tho aide of the rivers, more especially auch aa are annually i^arerfloirad, are ready, without further fi'dpnmtioD, fortoba:co, hemp, and flax. The lower meadows, and meadows adjoining to Beaver Danu, " whicJi are ahundant, proilucc at thia moment enormous (I'.antities of natural hay and pasture ; r.nd the rest of the land, for the production of rwltvpouitow, liabaacora, wheat, and other grain, is at least equal, if not auporior, to any other land in the Canada*. Independent of the swamp*, " the timber on the land is very soon described. Tho sugar maple is the principal giowlli, and the size and height which it as well a* tho other trees II '♦^Mliiii.'. snficiently erince t'je atmngth and power of the soil ; next to this come the beech, elm, and basswood, in various proportions ; in some i,/« ioBtances the !;?<icliaBd elm pi«dooiinaio «vor the maplj, but this ia rare. Near the streams the hemlock* is found, and interspersed through the " whole is tho cherr)-, butu^rnut, the different species of oak, and the birch." lo .f.i Aooilicr Gentkmaa atatea, " Aa Cir as 1 have explored tlio Territory, and as far as I could learn irom the different other cxplorings, I have • ' ''f'V.t any, lay iupreuioa is, tlutt there ianot a better tract of laud, if there is any equal, of the same extent, in the Province of Upper Ci\nada. It is " abundantly watered with a variety of streams, wliich aro not like the alow-moving, dull, atagnant ones in some other parts of tlie Proviice, but are " swift, and in some places rapid ; which will tend greatly to the salubrity of the climate, as well as to other invaluable benefits, when tha " Und becomes settled, from their being suitable for hydraulic purposes, Tlie soU is always judged of by the timber that grows upon it; wlien that " consiets of maple, beech, basKWOod, and cherry, tho hmd ia considered very <rood ; but if tho maple and basswood are tlie most prevailing, it is ' " considortd cf supeiibi quality." - ; A thiidsays, "In passing through the country I have found the tiiui. ^naming that first of which there is the greatest quantity, and the " tess in tha aamowder,) to be maple, dm, beech, and bnaswood. There are others in less quantity, viz. hemlock, butternut, block asli, white ash, " soft maple, white oak, hickory, and pine. Tlie soil in general is n black loam, sometimes with a proportion of sand, the subsoil clay witli a " mixture of aaod; there are very ibw stones, except in the bods of tho rivers and creeks, and that principally limestone. Tho banks olong the shore " of tho Lake have ratlier a forbidding appearance when viewed from the w.-iter, being clothed with cedar and hen. jck to their bases ; bnt as soon aa " yon arrive at the summit of their slopes, the good land, clothed with tho hard timber before mentioned, mokes its appearance. In scaling the " shore, we took opportunities of going into the interior, and in all cases found the land good." Willi such testimonials, from aotual examination hiy respectable individuals, tho Directors feel they can with confidence recommend the Huron Tiact to tine favourable notice of persons intending to ecttk; in Canada, and they are disposed to offer every inducement and encouragement in their power to draw the attention of settlers to that part of the Company's Land ; therefore, although all new settlements aro in their commcnfMBcot attended with very considerable cxpcnae, yet the situation in the neighbourhood of tha harbour at the mouth of the river, called by the Natives the Miucsctung, is represented to bo so well adapted for the site of a considerable town, that instructions have .^ilready been sent to make arrangemeats for laying out a town and commencing a settlement ; to which it is proposed to give the name of Goderich, the intention of the Court to bcsUw that name on the Halton Block, having been anticipated by tho Superintendents giving it the name of Guelph ; and as the Indiim name of tl)e river is rather unpronounceable, and the name of Red River, which it has heretofore received from voyagers and Indian tradeis, if /common to several othc^ f>verp iff J^orth America, it is now proposed, in compliment to the Lieutenant-Governor, to call this river the A/«i</onrf. I -• . ]^ addition to the Tos^nvo, be eftahlished oil (he ))anks,af the rivor, directions have been sent to layout a Township in the immediate neighbourhood, to be wbdivided into lots of eighty acres ; and in order to attract early settlers, the Directors have resolved to dispose in this country of 200 such Lots, at 7s. (id. per acre, and to give to purchasers applying during tho present season, ihd 'light' of 'c1i6i*i of the Lots specified in a Diagram, to be exhibited to them at tho Company's Office. The priority of choice to be according to the time of their claims being presented after their arrivol on llie spot ; and they aro further to have tha privilege of selecting a Town Lot at the price to be fixed for the first Settlers. I'or such purpose tickete wUl be given at tho Company's Oflice, on pajnnent of a deposit of £5 per lot, to be forfeited if the lot shall not be claimed witliin tw elvu mooths aftw tb» deposit being so paid. (►.hhu. As this new Settknient is to be ibrmcd on tho shore of Lake Huron, it may be deserving of notice to state that this Lake, and the rivom ''««iieh fiill thereinto, abound with excellent fish. Sturgeon is .'nd in the rivers generally, and a species of trout, of excellent quality, and sometimes reaching the weight of forty or fifty pounds, is found in the Lake. Whitefish, black bass, pickerell, and various other species of fish witli wluch the Lake abounds, afford, at the proper seasons, grateful and nutritious food ; and at the mouth of the Maitland, in June last, the expkring party found fish in such abundance, that in one day a man could spear enough to fill a pork barrel. Salt springs are found in severtJ parts <rf the totiitory, so that the manufacture of salt, for tho supply of tlie country at least, if not for exportation, will proUbly be very soon established. To the new Settlement of Goderich, the communication, for some time, will be by navigating Lake Erie, the itiver Detiuit, tho Lake and River St. Clair, and Lake Huron ; which route, although it is circuitous, and on the map appears fomxidalle, may yet, in steam vessels, be passed in /our or five days, from Fort Erie, or Buffalo, or tho Welland Canal, to Maitland Harbour ; and, during the present season. Settlers, piDperly taconimended, and presenting themselves at cither of these poiata, will be conveyed t» the new settlement at the Company's expense. By ft« tmm iiH.iguuuu, aud furuugij tho Weiiaad Canal -'hich opens ac^iss from tho River St. lawrence to the inland seas of America, the <iitui« produes of thi* new settlement will find ita outlet ; and an inland communication with tho rest of the Province, by meam of roads, will be the ficM oiye«t attended, to in the gooeral amngemesta for the settlement of the Huron TertitOTy. ♦ The Hemltck ia a spcciea of pine, {rowing Keaeraltjr ia moiat or awampjr ailuations, aid on Mil of inferior quality.
