The marked end continued success which has attended the publication of the Year Book, since its first issue in 1866, is accepted by the Publishers as an indication of the favour with which the volume of 1873 will be received. The volume of 1873 contains, as its predecessors have done, full and authentic information of public interest per taininor to British North America. ' Tne same great pains which were bestowed in former years to secure accuracy, have not been spared in the volume for 1878 ; and it may be stated, with positiveness, that the same amount and variety of information on public matters of interest to the Dominion cannot be elsewhere found in a single volume. The progress which has been made by C&nada in increase of wealth, in every department, since the Confederation, is simply extraordinary. Ihe Year Book is a hand-book carefully classified and indexed, containing facts,- necessary to be known in all parts of the Dominion, and sold for a nominal price ; it has there- fore the largest circulation of any publication in the Domi nion. THE INDEX win be found at the end of the reading matter.

In case of any lutare raids, we should be § laced in a very bad position In respect to amages. Sir Geo. £i Cartler explained that he himself would have preferred a different course, but the case was one tbr thn Imperial Government to settle, and they had preferred to withdraw the claim and pay the indemnity. Hon. Mr. Mc- Dougall defended the course of the Govern- ment, contending the claims were prind- paUy consequential, and therefore, could I not be pressed by the imperial Government.

On the Slut December, 1871, the number of Active Volunteer MUtlla enrolled In the Dominion, was : NovaScoUa 4,471 New Brunswick 2,864 8uebeo 14^ ntarto 31^468 Manitoba. 948 Total 44,2»a Of this number 84,414 performed the annual drill, the greater part for 10 days' continuous drill. Among them were 10 batteries, with 49 Held guns.

The Adju- tant. Oeneral reports that in some of the rural Battalions of the Active Militia were whole companies equal in height and phy- sical appearance to the English Guards, and that no finer material for soldiers could be found anywhere than amongst the Back- woodsmen of Oanada. Since the com- mencement of the year 1872, 4 new troops of cavalry, 1 of Engineers, 2 battalions of In- ^utry, and 8 Independent Companies, have been gazetted, and otters to raise corps are constantly being received. It was found, from the experience of the annual drill, that in ufew hours. Brigades of from 2,000 toS,000 men could be concentrated anywhere, and, if circumstances should require, 80,000 men. with 80 field guns, could oe concentrated almost anywhere on the southern frontier of Ontario or (Quebec in a very short time, without draw&g a single man from the other Provinces. British Columbia has been added to the mLltary district of the Domi- nion, but the enrolment has not yet been comideted. L'omlnion Militia Artillery Corps have re- placed the Imperial Troops at Kingston and <.iucbec, and the fortifications and arma- ment at Uuebec have been handed over to the Domimon Government The new forts at "Point LoTls" are nC ,vot armM, but the Imperial Ctovemment iiave given notice that guns of a powerful description, suited to modem warflu'e, will be mounted on them. At Qnebeo there are 187 guns mounted, 86 at Kingston and 9 at Toronto^ and many of these are powerful and of con- siderable calibre. Purchases were made In England for the use of the Militia, of 18,000 tumcs, 10^600 trousers, 7,000 forage caps, and 7,600 great coats, of GO marquee tents, 17 by 86 foet, and 600 circular linen tents, and various materials for their repairs, of lO^OUO havresacks, and 1,000 nosebags, l,00ii pairs hunting spurs, 600 nets of saddlery, 600 cavalry swords, 2^600 carbines, 150,000 rounds of ball, and 76,000 rounds of blank ammuni- tion for the same and a battery of 4 0-pounder muzzle loading field guns, with carriages and waggons complete, and 10 9-pounaer muzzle loading rifled guns, without car- riages, with a supply of ammunition . The Schools of Gunnery at Kingston and (Que- bec comprise about 800 ofRcera and men. Great eagerness has been displayed by botb ofllcers and men of the mUltla to attend them. On the 1st of February, 187^ there were 189 cadets attending the di£ferent In- fantry Schools. Since their first formation in 1864, 8,236 have passed these schools. Much Just pride is felt by the Militia Depart- ment In the expedition to Manitoba of 1871, of which mentlor, was made in the Year Book of last year. In a little more than a week from the dat« of the order to organUei and forwarded from distant points, with a supply of provisions for 30 days, and a further supply for six months collected, ready for any emergency, sailed from Coi- lingwood, and in four weeks, notwithstand- ing the lateness of the season, and the sev- enty of the weather, (the winter having set In unusually early), and the great hanubips and difilculties of the rootTthey were in Fort Garry, a distance of \,W\ miles, com- pletely equipped and ready fur service. Only two men were ill when they reached their destination, though "rain, snow, " intense cold, and violent gales alternated "in rapid succession." As this force, though small in number, was drawn from the military districts of Ontario and (Que- bec, it may be taken as a Mr t«st of the average hardihood and determination of Uie Canadian Volunteers. (^ismik\m iadltc §aitaM* In the Year Book of 1872 (p. 49) some account was^ven of the Union and Central Pacific Railway, which has been for some time in actual and profitable operation, between Omaha and Baemmento, and the progress which had bcon made with the Northern Pacific.

In ftust they will probably leave a ooiulderable proflt on the conitruotlon the ooit of which 1« roundly estimated to be f 100^000^000. The ground on which this asser- tion Is made is the comparatively high inrlces at which lands, given In aid of rail- ways, in the United States, have been sold. The foUowlug is a statement of prices of a number of these: Grand Rapids and Indiana |1S 98 Burlington and Missouri 1170 IlUnols Central i 1142 Hannibal and 8t. Joseph 1100 Chicago, Rock Island and Padflo . . 7 03 Atchesori, Topeka and Santa Fe. . 7 70 Flint and Marquette 7 18 Southern Minnesota 7 01 Atlantic and Pwoinc 77 St. Paul and Pacific 6 60 WinonaandHt.

Long. ; which stretches from the Canadian Terri- tory, and runs for thousands of miles south to the plains of Mexico^ where the tropical rains are met ; they are. therefore, compara- tively worthless. The lands which are to be Sven to the Canadian Paniflc Railway, on le other liand are well watered and among the best in the world— if not the absc'utoly best wheat growing lands in the world. With the progress of settlement they must, therefore, sell at a high price ; and this implies laige profit to the undertaking. In appraising the value of the land grant of M,000,000 acres to the U. S. Northern Paolfio Railway, the financial agetits of that un- dertaking make the following stavement : *'Now what is this landed empire of "60^000,000 acres worth? If It sells for only " the low price per acre a., which t.'ie Kinsas « Pacific Road forced off its landb, while it " ran through and stopped in a wildemesH of << bufGilo grass the proceeds would be over <' 91«k000^000. If nursed and sold on Judicious "credits, as were the lands of the Illinois << Central, the proceeds would be, on the « basis of that road's sales, $550,000,000! If <* sold at the average price of the Minnesota "School lAnds, the proceeds would be "9860,000^000. The elements for appraising " the market value of the Northern Pacltlo •< Land Qrant sufficiently exist to make it "absolutely certain that it can be sold for a " sum much greater than the cost of oon- " structing and equipping the road." There would not tie any exaggeration in this oalculatilon, if it were not tat the dis- turbing element at aridity west of the lOO". But in the case cf the lands of the Canadian Paelflo Railway the combination of tbvor- ableolimaUq,agrl«altural and commercial oondiUcmB, afiords reasonable calculations oS gft highest suooess and almost nnlimited veiopment. If we take the valuation of the lands set apart for the Canadian Padflc at the Oovt. iwlce of only f 1 per acre, they will idve teoi- 000,000. But they are really worth much more than the u. 8. lands orwhioh we have above given qjootatlon of prices. Say how- ever that lands and grant together amount to 1100,000,000: the proposed Railway being 2460 miles in length, this would give S40l813 per mile for its oonstmction; a snmwhloh we believe will leave a large proflt on that work, seeing the nature or the country the road is pass through. We have then the fliot that the Govt, grants are alone more than sufficient to build the road. A question of vital importance In the oon- struotlonof the Canadian Paoiflo Railway is that' of ALTITUDES, to be overcome in traversing the continent Oc this point we refisr to the J^rqftle, taken from the report of Mr. Sandford Fleming, which is prmted elsewhere (ftusingthe title page) In tnis volume of the Tear Book. A glance at this will show the Immense physi- cal advantages for -railway construction, which the route across the continent through Canadian territory possesses over that which is now actually in operation in the United States.

Bnt the dynamic and physical dlffloulties im- plied in hauling heavy trains over great al- titudes are not alone to be surmounted^ Tbe climatic infiuences ccamected with them are scarcely a less important consi' deration. Proportion of alutude implies proportion of severity of weather and fiE^ of snow. The works found neoessaiy to protect flrom snow fUlson the U.S. Railway are stupendous; and yet^ tbe traffic was atbea impeded, fbr days, flrotti snow block- ade last winter. Everywhere along the Ca- nadkud line there is reanon to believe the fldl of snow will be very light. \ K Am AMI A SAC OV 9A9M^MWm$ 18f«. i-; Vl i.;M i:!^ \J% ^■•111 A DISTANCES.

"The survey and exploration made from Sault Ste. Marie easterly along the northern shore of the Georgian Bay towards Lake Nlpissing, establish the fact that a good line can be liad with very favorable grades.

ACROSS THE FRAIRIEi " Tlio information thus derived shows Llia* on some of the routes, the cost of carry- ing the Railway across the River Valleys would be very great, but that a compara- tivc'y favourable roun in this respect as well as in otiiers, may be had by a line Urawu from a crossing of the Red River, 1101 tb of Fort Garry by Dauphin Lake, Swan River, the elbow of the North Saskat- ctiewau, I'.attle River, Beaver Lake, and Lheiice via the Jasper House to the Yellow Head I'ass. On some other route it was found that the great rivers flowed in troughs, enormously de^p and wide; but the line druwh appears from all the Information ol)- laiiied to invoUe the least amount of bridging, while at the same time It passes through or near the most available country for settlement; the South Saskatchewan can be crossed on this line by a bridge, 1,4UU feet long, not exceediug sixty feet In lieight above water level, and about 70 feet above the beil «>f the river at the deepest point. Tliero will probably be even less ilUlioulty in spanning the North Saskat- chewau, and an thtse are the largest rivers to be uroi-scd on the line laid down, the conjparatively favorable points for crossing them, which have been found, is considered exiremely fortunate, considering the gen- eral features of the great water channels in this wide extent of country. THE GATE OF TUE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. " With regard to the survey Iwtween the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast>^ altiiough a great deal still remains to be^ done, material progress has undoubtly been made. " A very favorable line for amilwayhas been found tlirough the Gold Range by the Qagle PaiAH, extending irooa Little I>alles on the Columbia to Great Shuswap Lake, and an instrumental survey Iw. l>een com- pleted from the foot of the lafit nanied lake lo Hope on the Lower Fraaer River. The general engineering features of the ap- proaches to Howse Pass, have also been ascertained. "The stu-veylng expedition which left Victoria on the 20th July to find a moder- ately direct line flrom Q,ueBnel Mouth, ' through the CarltMX) coimty to T6te Jaune Cache, has failed in its objecu The lowest pass discovered through the Selkirk range, aitbougti about lUOO leet lower than the mountains adjoining is reported to be at such an elevation, that the ground Alia on the one side 1600 feet in five miles and on the other 2800 feet in about six miles, thus proving the pass Impracticable for a rail way, unl( ^s with a tunnel at an enormous cost. " A favorable pass ftt>m the North Fraser River in the neUbborhood of T6te Jaune Cache, to the north branch of the Thompson River has been tound. " According to the information received, this will admit of a line being constructed f^om Yellow Head Pass to Eamloops, with grndfis not exceeding 50 feet per mile. " The fortunate discovery of a practicable line with grades so lavorable, between Kamloops and the summit of the Rocky lyiountalns, via the North Thompson and the Yellow Head Pass, together with infor- mation received ft-om the expedition, which examined the country on the eastern slope of the mountains, led to the abandonment of all farther work on the survey via Howse Pass. " Kamloops is an Inportant point on the line which was being surveyea fhim New Westminster through the Eagle Pass to Howse Pass. The distance from Kamloops to a common point near Edmonston House, is not greater by the North Thompson and Yellow Head Pass, than it is by Eagle and Howse Pass, while all information goes to show that a very much better and less costly line can be had by the former than by the latter route. " Finding tliat the Kamloops could be easier reached from the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains by the Yellow Head than by the Howse Pass, there was no longer any object in continuing operations east of Kamloops on the latter route. " This led to the adoption by the Govern' ment on the 2ud Inst., of the Yellow Head Pass as the gate to British Columbia ftom the east. " The adoption of the Yellow Head Pass has greatly simplified t he sm'vey, and now the efibrts of tlie whole stafl' in British Col- umbia, are concentrated on lines leading to one common point, viz : T6te Jaune Oaohe^ in about longitude 120° and lattltude 68°. It lieing impossible to reach the Pass selected tliix>ugh the Rocky Mountains flrom the west, without first touclilng the River Fraser at this point. TUK RAILWAY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. " The next important consideration Is the establishment of the railway route firom T6te Jaune Cache, to the Pacific Coast. " It has already been mentioned that there will be no dimculty in building a rail- way with very favorable grades fram T6te Jaune Cache to Kamloops. From Kam- loops a survey has been made to Burrards Inlet (the harbour of New Westminster) except alx)ut 70 miles on the extreme western end of the line, and un the latter section no serious difflcuitics are believed to exist. This survey shows that a praoti cable line with favorable grades may be had, although the cost, particularly along the canons of the Lower Fraser River, will be considembiy alx)ve the average. " The Harbour of Esquimamt, near Victo- ria on Vancouver's Island, is strongly advo- cated by some as tlie point where railway should terminate.

' It will be farther .seen that, during the season of open navigation, the distance between Toronto and Foi t Garry via Nipi gon, IS 1,074 against 1274 miles via Dututh and that part of the Northern Pacific Rail- way east of Pembina— giving a saving of 200 ml'es In favour of the Canadian Pacific and branch to Nlpigon,5of which saving 40 miles is rail and IW) miles water. " Viewing the Canadian Paciflr? Railway as a " through" route between Ports on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, tlie compara- tive Profile reierred to In a previous para- graph, and which accompanies this, illus- trates the remarkable engineering advau taijes which it possesses over the Union Pa- cific Railway. The lower altitudes to be reached, and the more favorable gradients are not, however, tlie only advantages. " A careful examination Into the question of distances, shows, beyond dispute, that tne Continent can be spanned by a much snorter line on Canadian soil than by the existing railway through the United States, " Referring to the table again, it will be seen that the distance from San Francisco to New York, by the Union PaiiHc Railway, is ;^,3(J3 miles, while from New Westmins- ter to Montreal it Is only 2,730 or 630 miles la favor of the Canadian route. "A closer examination of the table will show that by the construction of the Cana< dlan Pacific Railway, even New York, Boe ton antl Portland will be brought from 300 to 500 miles nearer the Pacific coast than they are at prese:it. " A comparison of distance between dis- tant points which may form traffic connec- tions with the Inter-Oceanlc Rsdiways ol North America, brings out some important facts referied to in the ' able.

" The third object appeared, at the time the survey began, tbe one of chief lm| ort- ance, as grave doubts wore entf rtalntd by many as to the poKslblllty of piercing the long extent of rugged country IwlleviHl io exist, with a practicable liiie for ilio Itall* way. ' Tbe Government was extremely anxious that a practicable line should be diNCOvcrcd, with as little delay as possible, and In order tbe more effectually to acoompllMh this object, the Engineer appointed to conduct the surveys was left untrammelled osiutbo course to be pursued. "Tbe Government simply decided thot the survey should begin in the latitude of Lake Nipisslng, somewhere between ttio Georgian Bay and the river Ottawa; the duty and responfilbility of finding a practic- able line thence westerly devolved uiion me. "Tbe distance between tbe Georgian bay and tbe river Ottawa, in the latitude referred to, is in round figures about 100 miles. Lake Niplssing is situated ab(ut midway, and with Its different bays, practically occupies about fifty miles, or about half the whole distance. " It was clear that a line for the Paciflo Railway, to connect with the railways of Canada to the south, mi»t pass either to the east or to the west of Lake Niplssing. "Every known source of Information respecting tlie country lying between Lake Nlplxslng and the northern bend of Lake Superior, was fully and carefblly consulted t)y tne, and all a«>counts agreed as to tbe exceeding roughness and impracticability ot the country for Railway construction on a line drawn from any point between the Georgian Bay and the wtst end of Lake NipiSHlng. "The country on aline drawn up the val ley of the Ottawa from a point east of Lake Niplssing, seemed on tbe other hand much more promising " I satisfied myself that to attempt the discovery of a favorable line on a mode- rately direct course from the westerly end of Ijake Niplssing to the north side of Lake Superior, could only be made at a great ex|ienditure of time and money, and with- out much hope of success. " My duty and otject were not to court failure, but to aim at success by the most direct course, I, therefore, decided to look, for a satisfactory solution to tbe problem of pmclicabiiity, by beginning the survey at a point east of Lake Niplssing. "Tbe importance of bringing the Pacific Rai I way as near as practicable to tbe system of Rxiiways converging at Toronto, without golUK too much out ot the direct course t the seaboard, is fully recognised. In relation to tblN point, I wish todraw attention to cer- tain flicts which will probably set some misapprehensians at rest. " l.aKe Niplssing is situated directly north of Ti>ronto. The Northern Railway, the Niplssing Railway, tbe Whitby, Bowman- vllle, Port Hope and Cobourg Railways, with their extensions, as now projected, lead to a point in the Muskoka District named Bracebridge. Bracebridge is due Soutli of and actually nearer the East end of IjHke Niplssing than the West end. " It seems clear, therefore, that if a point to the east of Lake Niplssing be found not more distant from Fort Garry than a point on the west side of this lake, the most direct connection between Fort Garry and tbe Railways of Ontario would be by the east side of Lake Nii>lssing. "I'am perfectly satisfied troia all the information acquired respecting the geO' graptiical position of the different points referred to. and the physical features of the Intervening country, that the probability of finding a mrre favorable and snorter line hy the west side than by the east side of Lake NiplHSing, is very small. "Be ibis as it may, I trust the explana- tions given with regard to the commence- ment of the survey are satisfactory. Of course in beginning instrumental examtna tions, it was necessary to fix on some defi- nite point I selected Mattawa as this point for simitar reasons to those which governed me in making the survey east Instead of west of Lake Niplssing. " I do not, however, wish It to be under- stood that I consider it impracticable to build the Railway nearer tbe east end of Lake Niplssing than Mattawa. and tbence to »uch point south of it as the Uovemment may select.''

Maurice, thence to those ot tbe Ga- tlneau and crossing by laud 100 milea to Ot- tawa. I'rom Lake St. John they ascended the Ashuapmouchouan as the river is there called, a general N. W. course for 9*2 miles, Here tbe river divides into two branohoa, tho lai-ger from the N. E. called by the In- dians Cliief River. For the first 80 mllos tlie soil was exceileat; then the country be- comes rocky with but Uttle soil. The foreal has been burned. The trees were princi- pally spruce, balsam fir, white birch, poplai and mountain ash. Tbe apruoe was from 12 10 lii.lnchea in diameter, and 40 to 80 feel high. Nineteen miles from tbe junction oi the Chief River they entered Lake Aahuai mouchouan. For tbla distance, the couutrj is c.mparatiTeiy level, part of it aaudy, but as the neighbourhood 01 the Lake ia reached, the soil becomea a aandy loam, (be treei attain a good size, the coarse grasa in opoi places near the lake and river waa troia I to 4 feet high, and tim:>thy grasa on the 9tt: July 2 feet high. Blueberries were ripe or the 5th and raspberriea on the 7th July. The thermometer on the tfth of July at half past ten iu tlie evening was at 60", and at 7 P.M. the water in the lake waa of iheaame tem- perature. Lake Asbuapmouohouan, is 1184 feet auove the level of tbe aoa, and 147 milea north ot Montreal, yet at half past throe on the 11th July there waa only a dif- ference of 3 degrees m the heat. tiUll pur- suing a general N.

Between these two head waters the portage is not quite half a mile. The land for tho first 7 miles up the Nikouban continues to bo ol go(xl quality, after tnat tbe country becomes rocky and billy. Much of the forest appeara to have been burned and tho ground is cov- ered with a second growth of small white birch, cyp-ess and blueb.rrlos. At Lake Nikouban the spruce, balsam fir, <&c. , attain a good size. Tne soli, as lar as observed, is suiidy over tho whole distance. Continuing to the N.

Turning to the North Eaut, Itf ntiios from Lake Abatacpmaw, and uver'iMU miles ft-om Lake St. John, la Lake Ghlbogomon. This lake stretches to the N. E. some 23 miles, and empitles by two outlets into another parallel lake, on the N.W. side. These lakes flow into the Notaway river, which empties into James Bay. From Lake Abautsomaw to Lake Chlbogomoii, the country Is undulating. In some place» rocky, In others sandy. Moat of the wood has been burned, and blueberry bushes pro- ducing very large fruit, covers the surface. A berry, like the blueberry, except In colour which was that of a white currant, was found here. On the B. E. side of Lake Chibogomou and the N. E. end, a sandy loam prevails, and where openings were found in the woods, ( here was a good growth of wild grass . Ureen woods surround the lake except where the forest has been burned. Continuing in the same direction about 4 miles further is Lake Wakinitche, 24 miles long, 1410 foetalx)ve the sea level. On the 8. E. side the trees are of good size and tlie soil is a sandy lo»im well titled for agricul- ture. On the N.W. and S. E. are rocky ridges, but half a mile back green woods are seen. Another 4 miles to the north brought the party to the Abatagoush Bay, a part of Lake Mlstassini. This Bay was surveye 1 for 30 miles. Tne length of this lake us well as could be ascertained was 160 miles, but no certain information could be got as to its breadth. The whole distance from Lake St. John was 290 miles. The couniry between Lakes Wakinitche and Mlstassini is a level plain with a fertile calcareous soil. The sur- race In no place rlhesmore than 30 feet above the lake. At the U. B. Co.'s Post on Abatngoush Bay, they had fair-sized new potatoes on the 7th of August. On that liay, the ther- mometer at midday stood at 90°. This Post Is 8331 miles N. of Montreal and 1381 miles above the sea level. At half past 10 P. M- the tiiermometer had fallen to 58*. Returning from Abatagoash to the Nikon- ban, the party passed through Foam Falls River and several lakes to the height of land between the Nikoban and the St. Maurice, a distance of 41 mile-s to th ; 8. W. Continuing the same course down Clear Water River to the St. Maurice, 42 miles more, brought them to Lake Traverse, only 18J miles In a direct line from Lake Nikou- ban. The country is level, showing an alter- nation of green and burnt woods and barren sandy soil. Lake Traverse is 12S9 feet above the sea level. Going down th«? St. Maurice to Klrkendatch, a distance of 20 miles, there were extensive flats of sandy loam produ- cing abundance of wild grass. From Klrkendatch they crossed to the Qatlneau, between whose head waters and those of the St. Maurice the dlsumce Is only half a mile, and the dlHerence of level only 10 feet. The country was mostly a level sandy plain ISiS feet above the level of the sea. In part well wooded with spruce, tama- rack and white birch. Descending the Oatineau as far as the De- sert River, the P'vrty left the river and cross- ed to Ottawa. The country up the Qatlneau Is well htted for settl-^ment. 230 miles North lOf Ottawa, and 108J feet above the sea, the l;uoatod flres.

Oats and iMirley have been cultivated at Long Lake. Hay, ix)tatoes and onllnary vegetables thrive well. Potatoes were harvested the first week In October, and the tops had not been touched with frost. ^nWt m0v^^ 0( t\u §mxinkn.

It Is navigable for vessels drawing 10 leetof water. Only a trifling sum for the main- tenance of the ferry was expended on this canal during 1871. A line of tug steamers on the navigable reaches between the St. Lawrence Canals, is subsidized by the Government. From the opening of navigation up to iiOth June. 1871, 604 vessels were towed up, and Ru down. Nine vessels are provided by the contractors for this eervlce, for a subsidy of $12,000. The Ottawa Canals are— The St. Anne's Lock, Carillon Canal, Chftte A Biondeau Canal, Orenvlile Canal and Bideau Canal. Their united length is 131f miles, with 60 locks. The St. Anne's Lock, 23i miles from the Harbour of Montreal, Is ^ of a mile long, with a rise of three feet. Navigation closed on the 30th Nov., 1871, and was re-openeJ l«th April, 1871. Besides ordinary repairs during the year, boulders were cleared from the upper entrance, and out of the oliannel helow the lock, and a portion of the Big Bock shoal removed.

The Grenvllle Canal, 1| mllee flrom Chdto a Biondeau, Is M miles long, with seven locks, rising 4^ feet. Considerable repaifs were made on this oanal during the year 1871. It elosed and re-opened at the same date as the ether Ottawa Oanals, and is of the sam • width. Very •xtensive Improve- ments have been made In this canal during the past summer. The Bideau Canal between Kingston and Ottawa is 126^ miles long, with 47 locks, and a lockage of 446^ feet. It is from 54 to 00 feet broad. Navigation closed on the 30th Nov., and re-opened on the aist April. There have been extensive repairs all along this canal. Vessels drawing five feet, wiyi a tonnage of 100 tons, can pass through the Carillon and Grenvllle Canals, those of 4i feet draught, and 250 tonnage through the Bideau. It Is intended that the eanals on the St. Lawrence and Ottawa be enlarged to a uniform width of 100 feet^ thoee on the Bt. Lawrence and the Welland Canals to he deepened to twelve feet draught, and on the Ottawa to have t feet, and the RIehelleu the same, provided the water In the river will allow it: the channel In the St. Lawrence, above Montreal, to have all obstructionti removcil so as to give 14 ieet of water thnnighout, and below Mrntreal to be deep- ened so as to give 22 feet draught at low water. The Bay Vertc Canal to have 15 fcot draught, and a canal cut through the Island Ht. Mary, on the Canadian side f>f the St. Mary llapids, to improve the rommunica- tlon betwetn Lakes Huron and Superior— all these are rlthor being surveyed, or the works being prosecuted on them. Besides these, canals are projected between liake Champlain and the St. liawrencoal Caughnawnga, on the Upper Ottawa, to con- nect the Ottawa navigation with Lake Huron, the Georgian Bay Canal from that Bay to I^ake Ontario, and Murray Canal, from the Bay of (.{ulntd across the Penin- sula of Prince Edward, to Lake Ontario. These, however, are still works of the future. The tonnngcof vessels passing through the Wellond Canal was 1,554,118, carrying 8,147 passengers, and 1,439,060 tons of mer- chandise.

A new iron Light ship lias been placed at Red Island R have a liglithouse, steam fog whistle and House of Ucfuge at each end of the Island. There will tuen be 6 stations on the island for the purpose of rendering assist- ance ti> shipwrecked crews. When these are completed there will be 9 steam fog whistles on the coast of Nova Scotia, all erected since Confederation ; 27 new lufhts have been exhibited since that period. The expense of construction during the year was $10,730, and the nuuaber of persons employ- ed, or. The cost of maintaining buoys and beacons, $2,001. The cost of maintaining tho humane establishments en Sable Island employing 21 persons, was 8,0.3, to which the Imperial tioverniuent contributes ^£400 stg. No wrecks occurred there during tbe summer of ■ij>71. There were two wrecks at Scatterie Island. Tbe total expenditure in Nova acoiia during the year, was f84,864. 70,000 gallons of oil wlil be required for tbe Lighthouse service for 1872; an Increase of 2S,000 gallons over 1371. This has been con- tracted for at an average rate of 1V.40 eents per gallon. BBITISU COLVICBIA. There are only 3 lighthouses In British Columbia. On Hiioe Kocksln ths Straits of De Fuca, with a Fog Bell, a Floating Light, vi^lble 18 miles in clear weather ; a DlopirU light of the 2nd order. The Flsgard light at the entrance to Es- qutmaiilt Harbor; a fixed red Dloptrle light of the 4th order, visible 12 miles. Fraser river Light vessel : a fixed Catop- tric light at the oulranee io Fraser river; visible 9 miles. STBAHSRS. There are three sea-going steamers and two Klver steamers. The "Napoleon III" is used chiefly for supplying Light Houses in the Gulf, laying buoys and assisting ves- sels in distress. The "Oneida" Is much smaller, and is used for laying buoys and supplying Liglit Houses In the Klver. The screw .steamer ' ' L«uly Head" is employed in Marine I'olico duties at Halifiix and Plctou and visiting Sable and St. Paul's Island The " Richelieu" Is In the service of tlie Trinity House, Montreal, laying buoys and attend- ing to the lights. And there is a small steamer In tho service of the Harbor and River Police at Ciuebec. The total cost of maintaining aud repairing these Vessels during the fiscal year was $78,030. The steamer " Sir James Douglas,** carry- ing the mails along the east coast of Van- couver's Island, Is also employed in Light H 'Use service; but is not able to perform It tTectualiy.

There Is a tonnage duty of ten cents per ton levied on vt'ssels entering the harbors of tiatiiurttt and lllclilbucto. N. U., and Am- herst and House, Magdalen Islands. The amount collcctod during the two last fibcal years was i|i7,UUl<, and the expenditure $tf,3d0. HARBOR AND RITSB POLICE. The total strength of this force was fifty persons ; one half at Montreal, the other at «Ui,\ cxtieiidlture was $8,321. The total rocelptK for three years have been $ M,- 805.

A few steamboat accidents occurred dur- ing tlio year; but it is a Just sul^ect for sat- isfiiction, that with the immense passenger tratllc there was no loss of life through any defect in the steamers or their machinery. Twenty-nine strobably many more. The number of sea-going casualties during the year, so far us inlormutlon could be obtahied, was 209, viz. :— 61 ships and barges, 44 brlgantinos and brigs, 101 schooners, 4 steamers. Total.. au9 The probable loss Is estimated at $1,800,- 000. Of lake and inland vessels tlie casual ties were :— 15 steamers, 42 schooner.-', 7 briguntlncs and barques, 1 barge. Total.. 65 And the loss about $300,00a * $2W were expended between 1st July and 31st December as rewards for saving life. A new life-boat was placed at Salmon Point, Ontario, and another a* Nottawasaga Island, Geoiiglan Bay. It is also intended to place one on Lake Huron.

Tho salmon rivers are being rapidly re- stored, and tliO salmon wore more plentifnl than for some years past. Tho Bay of Fundy Fishery succeeded be- yond all calculation. More attention is being paid to the hake fishery, and it promises to become a great source of wealth. The coiuiotions from Flslilng Rents, LI cense Fees, Fines, dec, for 1871 amounted to $12,400, and the expenditure of th« Branch was UI2,69a YBAR BOOK AND ALMAMAC OF CANADA FOR 18T3. Three U. S. fishing vcssols were seized. Tlie Samuel Gilbert, the F. S. Behenck and the E. A. Horton. Fishlne vessels were ouly subjected to molestation or seizure when found within the S mile limit. Urgent representations have been made on the necessity of steps being taken for the proper lusi^ction offish. The enforcement of tne law requiring the construction of fish ways In mill dams has materially improved the river fishing, par- ticularly In Nova Scotia. The damage caused by refuse In rivers and harbours Is fast Increasing, and the naviga- tion and fisheries of many of the finest streams In the country will soon be ruined, if some steps are not talcen to prevent this accumulation. The establishment for the reproduction of fish by artificial means, at Newcastle, Ontario, has been attended with favorable results. About 160,000 healihy young salmon were distributed in streams along the shores Dominion Fisheries, 129 of Lake Ontario. An experimental sale was made to the U. S. Fishery Commissioners, and the remainder of the salmon fry supplied to Caniullans, tree of charge, to restock small streams from which the salmon had been exhausted. More than a quarter of a million of eggs were obtained last fall from the creeks connected with the Qovernment fish breeding establishment. The extension of these establishments to the other Pro- vinces is very desirable, and the cultivation of other kinds of fish such as trout and shad, and bait for the coast and deep sea fisheries. Comnlaints have been made that many oi the inland lakes are being over-fished, to satisfy the growing demand for fresh fish on the part of dealers from the neighbouring States. Any efliclent supervision of these would entail a^good deal of expense, and the attempt to exercise It would be of doubtful benefit. A little exertion on the part 'of the residents In the enforcement of the Fishery Laws, would prevent over-fishing. ^nUU ^mmt of tk §minim. In the rei>'^rt of the Minister of Inland Revenue for 1870-71, (the latest Information published) It Is especially noticed, that this year for the first time, both the financial and statistical statements are submitted in direct connection with each other. After deducting refunds, the revenue from all sources for the year was $5.120,fM7, and the outside service cost $174,504,«9 or less than 3J per cent of the collections. The expense of the Supervisor of Cullers' office was $61,921 68, the fees collected |63, 228,67. ' * ' As compared with the preceding year, the Increase of revenue was $717,188, of this $636,020 was from excise, $36,636 from publlo works, and $47,979 from bill stamps. In Uie receipts for culling timber there was a falling off' of about 5 per cent, but, for the first time in many years the expenditure was below the receipts. Every aiticle sub- ject to excise yielded an Increased revenue, and except tobacco, the returns show this to have been flrom increased consumption. The Increase in the consumption of spirits was 408,217 gallons, and the increase of spirits In warehouse 626,265 gallons, while there was a falling off* of exports of spirits of 4...806 gaUons. In malt liquors there was an increase in quantity of 853,648 gallons, and of malt en- tered for consumption of 3,940,145 lbs. There was a decrease of malt in warehouse, of 1,081,912 lbs. There was an increase of malt exported of nearly 20 per cent. The quantity of tobacco taken for con- sumption was less by 228,109 lbs. than in the previous year, but 570,000 lbs. more than in 1868-60. The quantity of manufac- tured tobacco in warehouse had increased by 070,628 lbs, and the export of manufuo- tured tobacco had increased 282,631 lbs. Refined Petroleum shows an increase of 819,861 gallons entered for consumption, and for export an Increase of 237,682 gallons. The demand for home consumption in- creased about 22( per cent, while that for export only increased about 6 per cent. AH articles manuf^tured trom petroleum with- out Airther process of distillation are exempt from duty, and by Order in Coimcil, all such products dt petroleum as cannot be used for Illuminating purposes are exempt from duty, and the Inspection fees reduced one half. The principal articles mantifactured in bond are vinegar and methylated spirits. The revenue from these shows an increase of $7,365 over the preceding year. The issue of Bill stamps was during the year trans- ferred to the Department, and all collectors of Inland Revenue have been made distri- butors of stamps. The increase of revenue trom this source has been $47,979.00. Some changes have been made In the management of the Oanal trade. The ships' reports and other vouchers are now sent daily to the department and entered in the books there, relieving the collectors of tolls and enabling them to make a more carefhl inspection of manifests and bills of lading. The system of "Let pass" was modified so as to allow a ship master to take out one pass for his entire voyage so lor>g as he does not break bulk. There was uu Increase ol tolls collected of $45,347. The collection of Hydraulic Rents and other minor revenues from public works wtts transferred to the Inland Revenue De partment in Atigust HflO, but the books were not handed over in time for the ad Justment of them during the year ending June 1871. The accounts cover a period ol 25 years, ajid many of them are disputed. They amount to over $150,000 and are in process of investigation, and an a4JU8tment will probably be arrived at during the present year. The increase In rever le ftom Slides and Booms has been $3,775. There has been a decrease in Harbovu- Dues, accotmted for by the exemption ftom harbour dues of vessels arriving and de- parting ftom Ports Colborne and I}alhGUsic, when Ughtered over the Weiland Canal. . The piers in the Lower St. Lawrence have been leased, but during the haU year only $181.67 was collected. It is believed the amoimt colleoted will be increased during the ooming year. There have been some slight changes in the management of the Supervisors ofCul-' lers' OflSoe which have had the effect of making the revenue more than pay the ex- penditure. !)■' .I.'l 18 YKAat BOOK AND ALHAHAC OF CANADA FOB 1878.

T>ie Burton's Pond Mine has alNO commenc d to shlpoopper ore this year, the ore be ng good yellow sulphuretslmilarto thatofXi tCove. The latter mine has been solci to an English company lor jE160,000 stg. The Lamanche Lead Mine is als^i about to change hand^ and the success which will doubtless attend the vigorous worlcing of thcbe well-proved mines may induce further enterprise, for which there is a vast field in the island. The coal tleld in the Bt. George's Bay region is estimated at thirty-eight cqiiare mllef , and the qiuntity of coal at ab ielded 192 ounces to be divided among five miners In return for one week'n labor, and another, that belonging to Ward, Dunleary A Co., yielded as m.ich as $.'iOO per man during one week. On Black Tack Qulch the yield of the mine from its first working was SlOa man per day. On Manson Creek thora were about 200 miners wh'^ were mnklng from $5 to $60 a day each, tm State Creek 60 men were making Arom S5 to $20 a day each. On Uermansen Creek the amoimt of gold collected during the last week of August was $10 000. Since that period fresh reports have reached me, and everything tends to the belief that the season has been a pro- duntlve one ; the district ia really rich In gold and promises much.... Judging trom the reports which flow In from allquarters, and f I om the numerous miners I myself met on the road, who came from Montana, In the United States, and who consider Ihli district to lie another promised land. It Is evident that this spring there >« ill be a large influx of mining populrtlon." (Mr. I^an- gevln'^ Report.) Fnim the report of the Gold Commissioner for 1871 upon the Omiiiic% Mines, It ap|)ears that their yield for that year may be estimated at about $400,000. The confi- dence 'of miners In the dtstilct is shown by extensive preinratlons for systematic dC' velopmentln the construction of conduits for water and in surCace and undor^njund prospecting. The gold shipped by British Columbia by banks from 1862 to 1871 Inclusive wasof tho valuu ol $16,650,086, and abmt one-thinl more was supposed to be carried out of the country by minors. flffwer.— "The silver mines of British ('olurabia have not yet been largely worked, Nevertheless, m the month of Heptember last 1 saw very rich specimens from a silver mine near Hope, on the Kraser River, and I was told that it was proposed to work that mine on a large scale. On the spot works of a very considerable extent were being carried on, among others a road lead Ing from Hope to the mine Itself. 1 am farther aware that this silver mine is not the only one which exists In the I<'raser Valley ; and as soon as the Hope mine shall have been worked and shall nave yielded, as It Is expected, good results, there is no doubt but that other mines situated In the samn range of mountains will likewise be worked." (Mr. Langevin's Report.) Coal.— From the Blue Book of 1869 It ap- pears that 200 men were employed tn the coal mines of Nanulmo, the yield being 40,000 tons, of which 19,700 were shipped to fbreign parts. The price of coal lit the pits' mouth is 24 shillings sterling per LOU. The area of the mi le is UUO/KH) square yards. Three pits are worked. Tne ae&vn is generally four teei thick. The Blue Book for 1«70 adds: These mlnes'are progressing favorably, and have l)een worked to advantflge durli>g the year, the yield of coal fur exportation having been about 30,000 tons. In 1871 the mine produced 44,00^ tons. From 1867 t>1870 inclusive the exports of coal amounted to 77,831 tons, value $187,866. From 1861 to 1870 inclusive the yield was 2K^13l tons.

We gfive in the Year Book of 1872 the text of ihe Treaty of Washington, the first article of which provides that the claims known an the Alabamt cla'.ras, should be submU- teil to a tribunal of arbitrators. The arbitrators appointed were as follow : England— Sir Alexander James Cocltburn; United States — Charles Francis Adams; Italy— Count Frederic Solopls; Swiss Con- federat'on— Jacques Stoempfll; Brazil, Vis- count d'ltajriba. The Tribunal held its first sesolon at Geneva on the 15th of Decembe r, 1S71 . The ngents for ' the High contracting; parties, Ijord Tenterden for England, and John C. Bancroft Davis for tho United States, gavp i^ their cases, evidenco, &o., and on the 16tn of December the Tribunal was adjourned until tho loth of June, 1872, when they agal:' met and continued in session, with a few brief InterriJptlons until the lltli of Sep- ^-^mber of the same year. On that day an H.' ard, of which the following is a synopsis, was promulgated, and tho labours of tlia Tribunal were brought toa close. THE AWAED first sets forth that the "due diligence' referred to In -*"t. 8, of tho Washuigton treaty, ought to bs exercised by neutral gov- ernments In exact proportion to the risks to whlcJi other governments may be exposed, from a failure to fulfil the obliga- tions of neutrality on their part; that the circumstances c./t of which the Alabama claims controversy arose were of a nature to call for the exercise, on i.he part of the British Government, of all possible solicitude, for the observance of all the rights and duties in.volved In the proclamatloa of neutrality Issued by Her Majesty on the 13th May, 1861 ; that the efibots or a violation of nentrality, committed by means of the oonstructiou, equipment and armament of a vessel, are not done away with by any Commission which the Government of the belligerent (Power, benefitted by the violation of neu- trality, may afterwards have granted to that vessel, and the ultimate step by which the ofiencei^ completed, cannot be admis- sible a^; a ground for the absolution of the offender, nor can the consummation of bis fraud bacome the means of establishing his Innocence ; that the privilege of exterrito- riality, accorded to vessels of war, is a pro- ceeding of coartesy and mutual deference, and can never be appealed (ofor the protec- tion of acts done In violation of neutrali y. That the absence of a previous notice can- not be regarded as a failure in any considera- tion required by the law of nations, in those oases, in which a vessel curies with it its ow n condemnation. That in order to impart to any supplies of csal, a character inconsistent with the rule of the treaty; prohibiting the use of naval ports or waters, as a base of operations for belligerents, it is necessary that said sup- plies should be connected with special clr- cum'iitances, of time, of person, or of place, which may combine to give them such a character. That with respect to the Alabamt, it clearly results from all the facts connected with her construction In the port of Liver- pool, and subsequent equipment and arma- ment In the vicinity of Tercelra, through tne agency of vessels called the AgHppina and Baham:i, despatched from Great Britain to that end, that the British Government failed to use due diligence In the perform- ance of its neutral obligations, and especially that it omftted, during the construction of the Aldbamt, any elTeetive mpasuresof pre ventlon, notwitnstanding the representa' tlons made by the diplomatic agents of the United States ; and that those orders which were given at last for the detection of the vessel, were lssu<)dso late that their execu- tion was not practicable ; that the measures taken for pursuit r»nd arrest were so imper- fect as to lead to no result, and, therefore, cannot be considered as soncient to release Great Britain o.' the respoosiblllty already Incurred. That despite r< if* violation of neutrality of Great Britain ijo nmltted by this vessel, she was on several occasions freely ad- mitted Into the ports of British colonies, instead of being proceeded against as she ought to have been. That the British Government cannot JusUfy Itself for a failure In due diligence on the plea of the inetflciency of the legal means which It possessed . Four of the Arbitrators therefore, for the reasons above assigned, and the fifth (Sir Alexander Cockburn) for reasons separately assigned, are of opinion that Great Britain has in this case failed, by omission, to fulfil the duties prescrlbea in the first and third rules established by the sixth article of the Trestyof Washington. In tho oafca of the Florida, previously cilied the Oreto, four members of the Tribunal conclude that th'ire was a failure of due diligence, in that it was allowed to escape from the port of Liverpool despite tho representations of the agents of the United States. In that it stayel at Nassau, luued from that port, enlisted men, took in supplies, an4 armament, with the eo-operatton of the British vessel Prince Alfred, at Green Cay, there was negligence on the part of the British Colonial authorities. And In that it was several times freely ad- mittel into the ports of British Colonies, notwithstanding the violation of the neutrality of Great Britain. That the fkct ot the judicial aoqolttal of the Ore/o at Nassa cannot; relieve Gre>>t Britain of the responsibilities I ncurrediby ner under tho prinolples of international law- Nor can the entry of the Florida into the Confe- derate portof Mobile, and her stay there du- ring four month*^ extinguish the responsi blllty previously incurretl by Great Britain. And therefore that Gre^it Britain failed to fulfil the duties prescribed in the first, second and third rules of article six of the treaty. In the case of the Shsnandoah, three against two members of the Tribunal decide that, the British Government is responsi- ble for her acts only after her stay in the port of Melbourne, where it is admitted by the British Government that augmenta- tion was clandestinely effected in her forces TBAR BOOK AND AUIANAO OF CANADA FOR ISTS.

H. Joy, tliat they ouglit U) bo ex- cluded from considei'ation lor want of evi- dence. As to the claim made by tliu United State*ft)r Indemnify for the cost of pursuit of the Confederate cruisers, ihe Tribunal de- cides that this claim Is not distinguisliabie from the general expenses of the war carried on by the Uuiled SLates, by a mi\jorlty of three to two. Tney also decide unanimously, that pros- pective earnings cannot be made the subject of corap(Misation, as tlujy dopoi d In their nature on future and Uiicertain contingen- liles, and that, therefore, 'here is no ground for awardlngthe United States anything at all under this head. After citing the reasons for so doing, the award then gives a lump sum ot $15,500,000 in gold as the indemnity to bo paid by Great Brltainto the United States, and declares all claimsreferred by the treaty to bo fully and anally settled. SIR A. COCKBURN'S DISSENT. Sir Alexander Cockburn dissented from the above award, and in the course of a long Judgment gives his reasons for doing so. The effect of the rules laid down by the Washington Treaty, he declares, " Is to place tills Tribunal in a p<;sitton of some diinculty. Every obligation, for the non-fulfilment ot which, redress can he claimed, presupposes a prior existing law by wiiich a right has been created on one >tlde and a corresponding ob- ligation on the oilier. But liere we have to deal with obligations assumed to liave existed prior to the treaty, and yet aris- ing out of a supposed law created for the flrsttime by the treaty. For we liave one party denying tlie prior existence of the rules to which it now consents to submit as the measure of lis past obligations, while ihe other virtually admits tiie same thing; for it agrees to observe the rules between itse udUreat Britain in the future, aud to bring them to the knowledge of other ma- ritime powers and invite them to accede to them,— ail of which should plainly he super- fluous and vain if these rules already formed part, of the existing law recognized as ob- taining among natons." He regrets that the whole question of law and fact hivi not bje . left to the Tribunal to decide according to principles of intcinational law e.\isting at the time that the causes of complaint are said to have arisen. He finds difilculty in defining the meaning of the woi'ds " due dili- gence,'' as there is nothing In the treaty to direct them; especially as to the degree of diligence required. They must, therefo"e, look to Judicial science to direct them; aud be thinks it will be of advantage to ascertain the amount of diligence required by Interna- tional law. He proceeds then to show that the dutlesof a neutral state are to observe a atrlol impai tlallty towards both belligerents. and in no way to assist either of them with warlike material, ships of war, transport^ etc., as a state. On the other hand he con- riders that a neutral subject lias a jierfect right to carry on trade with belligerents In articles which are pronounced by nations aa contraband of war,;aad even in ships of war. dut in case of ships of war sent out, not to a port of the belligerent purchaser, but with armament, otHcers and crew, prepared to mikewaratonce, there would be a breach oliioutiallty ; and a neutral power would be bo ind to use Its bast endeavors to prevent it. Tne case would be the same were the arma- ment sent out separately to bo taken on board at sea. As t"» the extent of dlligeace reriulredby the treaty, lie conclude-t th.it Itis neither more nor less than any neutral Gov- ernment would bo obliged to 0X0' else to pre- vent the breacli by any of Its subjects of any lieod of international law And that it consists in a Government faithlully carrying out Jill the means at lit* command for the prevention of any such Iniractlon. He thinks that if a Government is to be held re sponsible for the errors in Judgment of Its subordinates, or of its courts, especially when they are at a dlstaiico, it would liave the ettect of making any effort to have the rules of the treaty adopted by other nations unsuccesfu", and of malting maritime nations look upon belligerents wltli very considerable dread. After reviewing with severity several passages of the American case — clearing England from the chai'ges there made— and having concluded this part of ills Judgment., ho proceeds to con- sider the case of tlie ^'Ftoridt." His decision in this case is that there was no lack of diligence on the part of the authorities In England,'while,tho "Oreto" (afterwanls the "Morida") was bui dliig,or at lier departure. That no sufficient evidence was produced against her to Justify iier seizure before the courts, and that, therefore, she could not have been seize 1. That at .Nassau, whither the "Orelo" went,on her departure from Eng land, the colonial authorities conscientiously performed what they thought to be their duty, but th t they labored under a mlsap prehension as to the ettect of the "Foreign Enlistment Act," wlilch, iiowever, »s he had before stated, could not be construed Into a want of diligence. That the " Oreto " having made the Southern port of Mobile, where ^he was regularly commissioned, she could not be pioceeded against on her return to Nassau, for a breach of the Muni- cipal law of England merely; and that a seizure of the " Florida "—as she was then named— would have been an act of war on the part of Great Brittiiu towards the South. For these reasons he concludes tliat there wiis no lack of due diligence on the part of England In the case of the " FloHda." As to the "Alabama," there was a lack of diligence. Suttlclent evidence was fur- nished before lier departure to justify her detention ; and means of obtaining Infor- mation respecting her. wore neglected to be used. Also when she had departed on her trial trip without returning, there was a circumstance so suspicious as to Justify the Commissioners of Cusioms In seizing her, wnlch by '»ie exercise of diligence they would have been enabled to do. For these reasons, Sir Alexandoi\thinks, that England Is responsible for the damage done by the Alabama. As to the " ShenandoaJi," tbe only other vessel about which be differs from the ma ,-li 11 1 ti 1 1 III 16 TKAH BOOK AND AIMANAC OF CANADA FOB 1S78. jorlty of tlio Tribunal, he nan see no want of dfllKonco on the pnrt of the authorities at Mfllhourno.

Somini0ti ^aiitniMt^, Uurlng the year 1871, there was a large railing oir In the number of inmates of the KlDgftton Penitentiary. The Directors at- tribute this mainly to the Increased pros- perity of the country, and the remunerative wages to be obtained by all, and In some meanuro also, to the reformatory nature of the improvements introduced into the es- tablishment. Notwithstanding this falling off, the ex- penditure liOH increased. This has arisen partly from the increased price pf several artiotes of consumption ; an increased rate of salaries to the oillcials: and a largely in- creased use of lights and tlrewood. The health of the prisoners has been emi- nently satisfactory, very few severe cases of sickness having occurred throughout the year. Improvement in diet, increase of out- door labor, and better condition of the water are the causes to which this healthy condi- tion of the inmates is to be attiibuted. The discipline has been satisfactorily main- tained; punishments have been fewer than informer years; and only twice have very severe punishments been necessary. The introduction of lamps into the cells, allowing the prisoners to read until 9 o'clock, baa tuufan excellent, effect; quiet and order having taken the place of riotous noise and disturbance. The opportunity of obtaining, by good con- duct, a remission of a portion oi the sen- tence induces great self-control and industry among the convicts. Out of 195 discharged during the year, only one had failed to obtain remission of time, and the greater number of the convicts in the institution have gained the highest award allowable ; 5 d lys In each month. This is especially noteworthy, as upon any ilautt, the convirt not only falls to Oi tain the monthly remission, but may lose a portion of that gained. The system of gratuities has been intro- duced and found to work well; this allows the convict, in consideration of increased industry, a certain portion of his earnings, ■0 that when discharged, he may have a small fUiid to live on till he obtains work. The possession of this small sum which enables the discharged convict to live hon- estly till be getit employment. Is found an efficacious means of reclamation. It re- dustry, self-control and independence. This system is as yet only an experiment. The number of convicts released oy pardon was greater than ih any former year. As the applicant* fior mercy had in many cases been in prison ftom 1() to 20 years, any eflbct from the imprisonment may be considered to have been obtained. Several escapes took place during the year, but a greater strictness on the part of the new Warden wll likely prevent tuiy recur- rence of those xVn Increase In the pay of several officers was found necessary. In view of the largely Increased rate of wages urevalilng in the country, and also from some of them having become entitled to Increase from length of service and euiciency. Tiie duties are oner- ous, disagreeable and often dangerous, and the officers are for the most pirt very de- serving. There has been a largo decrease In casli receipts from the contract labor of the prisoners, owing to the groat reduction in numbers. Tiie Directors recommend the employ- ment of the prisoners In the prison, under the management of the prison officials, as beiniyc better. In a moral and hygienic point of view. The school has not progressed favorably. The schoolmaster's duties were so irregu- larly performed, that his services were dis- pensed with, and a successor has not yet been appointed. The Fenaale Department has been through- out satisfactory; great order and Industry and uniform submission tc> discipline having been maintained. In this Department there have been no recommittals for 2 years. The number of convicts in the prison on the 31st Dec, 1871, was 028 itgalnst 086 the preceding year. 11 died during the year, 6 escaped, l(t were sent to Rockwood Asylum, and 67 pardoned, 195 have been discharged, and 231 admitted. The Revenue was $40,975, and the expen- diture $11U,362; but apart from tho direct revenue a great deal of vaKiabla labour was performed by the mvicts, In workforthe renltentlary Itseh, In constructing wharves and piers, bulldlncr the Warden's residence, <&c., <&c. The total value of the work done by the convicts is estimated by the Warden as $93,208. 3,(i90 books were Issued from the Library by the Protestant chaplain, and 3,218 by the R. C. do. The value of the real estate of the Peni- tentiary is stated to be $601,273, an increase of about $16,000 In the year, and the value of stock $662,646, an Increase of about $7,000. Into the Rockwood Asylum there were admitted during the year, 65 patients, of which 11 were from the Penitentiary. 18 died during the year, 22 were discharged, and one transferred to Toronto, leavii^; in TBAB BOOK AMD AUiAMAC OP CAHADA FOB IpTS.

The expenditure for 1871 was $37,191, making an nvorngo cost for each patient, of a little more than |109 a year. In the Penitentiary at St. John, N. B., there were only 74 convicts, 39 of whom were sentenced to two years and upwaixls ; a proof of the gonornl moral tendencies of the people and the laclUtios for finding em- ployment. The labor of the prisoners has been more profitable than In former years. The sale of manufactured articles during the year amounted to il7,45l, and there was on hand at the closo of the year, a stock valued at $17,451. The expenditure for material was $18,909^ a little more than the value of the sales. The combination of the common gaol and convict prison in one Is not favorable, and renders tlie maintenance of necessary dis- cipline Impossible. The value of the building, machinery, &c. is estimated at $100,251. The Chaplains report Improvement In the tone of feeling and conduct. The average dally attendance at school was 15, reading, writing, and arithmetic being taught. The conduct of the female prisoners was good, no case requiring punishment, occur- ring during the year. The health of the inmates was generally «ood, one deatli only occurring lust at the close of the year. At the Halifax Penitentiary there was a large fallln,? ott in the number of committals. Discipline was fairly maintained and the prison WHS always found clean and In good order. The Library is of great beneflt, and the prisoners gladly avail themselves or It. The principal manufacture Is of shoes, but that of brooms has been introduced. The number of prisoners at the close of the year was 31 convicts, and 7 common pri' soners. The value of prison property is estimated at !p98,263. The chaplains report the conduct of the prisoners as satisfactory, and the school- master that very considerable progress has been mode, and llie prisoners have generally been obedient, orderly and attentive 8^ books have been Issued from the library The sanitary condition on the whole has been good, though there were three deaths during the year.

We say approximate view, as there are no means to obtain all these flgures with eniire accuracy, and under an unllbrmdate. But the figures we have given of Revenue and Bxpenditure, Imports and Exports, Public Debt and Tonnage, are all taken ftom ofllolal sourceaw The same remark has to be made ol the Census Returns, iu all cases where the Cen- sus has been taken. But the dates vary, and this part of the table contains more oi the element of estimate than the othe. s. The figures, however, may be accepted as as nearly accurate as can be obtained. The areas are also necessarily approxl mate.

"The inducemeji'o (or enterprise In this direction Is very grent, Hugar being a heavy article, the cost of transportation would of Itself aftbrd a large margin for a liberal profit to the manufacturer; whilst the sure crop easily, and consequently cheaply raised, would provide the raw material at the very minimum of cost. " Thla vegetable has never been known to be attacked by the grasshoppers,— the only dread the farmer entertains." It la yet, however, to be ascertained, by actual experiment, whether the conditions which will give such large abundance of beets ore also favourable to the saccharine qualities of the root Itself. Mr. Edw. Barnard, Jr., a Special Immlgra' tion Agent of the Dominion to the continent of Europe, In a report to the Department at Ottawa, states that, in the beet growing countries of Europe " from twelve to fifteen " (12 ®15) tons are considered a good average " crop per acre, although twenty tons are of- " ten produced. The average numberof tons "of beets worked per factory In Germany "(the Zollverein) was only 3400 tons In 1840, " but it gradually Increased until It reached " SOOfi tons In 1870. However, as our winter " season, especially In tho Provinces of cjue- " bee and New Brunswick, lasts nearly as '< long again as that of Germany, Belgium " or France, It Is 'clear that,— every Qilng " being equal,— we can manufacture double " the quantity of sugar, from the same oapl- " tal employed, that they can on the contl- •« nent. This advantage, In my opinion, " fhlly compensates for the idmbrenoe of " wages. * * • I may state tbat -^Wh., %i !! ^ THAB B««K AVB kJMAMKC 9W OAHADA VOB Itf 8. ■ •H rt 1«6 Bitt Boot Sugar, of annur prodnosd depends • Mitlral/on tfie qu^uly of the beet, the na- * ton or the eoll whioh produced It, thn Hyii- ** tarn of •nltlTktlon adopted, tho ■I'Ui* of - p raaarv t lon the beet majr b« tn aa donbled-4n VM, 66 cents per ton of beets worked were charged ; In 1850 It was increased again to $L2(r; in 1858 to 92.40, and Anally In 1858 to about 98.00 per Ion, or about the price paid to tbe Dunn- ers for the beets. " During my stay on the oontinent, parti- cularly In Belgium, I made careftil enqul-, ries with relation to the increased value of lands caused by the inlrodnctlon of baet sugar foctorles. I asoertJlned ihat sugar beet producing terms which rented ttom $8 to fl only per acre, previous to the establish- ment of beet root sugar fbctorles, now rant at flrom 919 to 92L The labor bestowed on TBAB BOOK AITO MiOUtKAO OW CAMAIkAWOm WfS. *te' But Root Smgar, IfT tlM loll tor the beet orop MoarM esoellant crops of gmlD and graiMK ; moreover, tb« pulp of the preaited Ceets aud th« extra fod- der produced by tbe Improvement ;n the culture of the noil, enables the Ibrmer to feed with profit double the quantity of etook. In fiMi, the beut orop requlrlog proper drainage, uloon aud deep cultivation, a regu- lar rotation with abundant manuring, torcM the f-irmer to follow out the beei. teachings of scientific agriculture, la the jounirles where beet root sugar Is manuflio- tured, the production of wheat has more than doubled since the Introduction of this industry, " In Germany the cost of beet root sugar Is estimated at from 5 to 11 cents a pound. This allows for the cost of bee* per ton, SM I Jfixolse duty per ton, 98.88. dowever, e labor necessary In the manuihcturlng of the sugar Is only counted at 80 cents per day for men and M cents for boys. "(ienerally the best wheat producing sou Is also the best for sugar beets. How- ever, In pralrlo landis and wherever there Is an abundance of rich vegetable mould, th'B Imparts to the beets some adds and salts which are found exceedingly trouble- some In the manulaoture of sugar, reducing the quantity aud the qiudlty of the pro- duct. Oaretully made experiments are therefore neoeusary in Manitoba before launching into unwarrantable expenditure. "However, It has been found in Russia that sugar beets do remarkably well on newly cleared farms. Liarge crops of ex- celleut sugar beets were produced without manure. "Soils containing much lime are gene- rally preferred, as the beets they produce «lor« belter Into sugar and contain a larger proportion than tbdt obtained In other soils. " 8andy soils ure not liked ; whilst mostly all rich, well drained loums, containing less than w per cent of pure clay, are consi- dered excellent for the production of the sugar beet. "However, as this industry requires a large capital, and us the returns will depend, to a very great extent, on the quality pf tbe beets produced In the vicinity, it is therefore adviwble to grow tbe beets and to test care- fully their value with what is called the "Polarisation Instrument" before esta- bllBbing a factory In any district, ••Sugar beets should be sown as soon aa itly dried, In early •ptito, cioggliw. Aa a ml& (be toroiighly cleaned and pr*> the soil Is solBclently to work without land should be thorot . . pared in the previous flul and sown aa early as possible, to secure tbe molstar* ae — sary to the starling of the young plant. ■•They are best cultivated on tne flat> la- ther than In drills, as it is important ^(o grow them as much as posilMe under ground . The part which grows above Bound, contains mucU less sugar in proporUon to weight than that part which is kept tmder ground. •• As small beets contain a mucb larger proportion of sugar, it is Important to sow In rows from 18 to :J0 inches apart, and to thin out the beets at flrom 7 to 10 inches In the rows. •• Un tbe continentjabout 30 lbs, of seed are sown per acre, whilst in England 8 lbs. only are sown. However It is no eoooomy to save seed at tbe risk of iMVing many blanks in the rows, ••Sugar beets, like all root crops, require deep and thoroughly clean cultivation, and the thinning of the crop should not be de« layed; artlhclal manures such as guano^ su- perphospiiate, aHhes, plaster, lime, Ac,, are very useful in giving the young plant a good start; butcoame barn yard manure should not be applied directly to this orop as they impart to the beets aolds and salts, which spoil tbe Julo«)8 for sugar making. " All coarse manures are best applied to the crop which precedes the beets, "Dry summers are more advantageous' to the production of sugar m the plant, al- though the weight ol crop Is decr ea sed thereby." These extracts are thus given at this length because tbe ini'urmatlon they eon> tain is of the very greatest importance to the people of Canada. If the beets nro- duoed in Canada are free from deletonous adds and salts and favourable for tbe ma- nutbcture of sugar, then It is certain that the introduction of this industry will in- crease the value of farming lands and add immensely to the wealth or the countiy. We understand that Pome experiments are to be tried ; and it further appMuw Crom this Report that the Hon. Mr, Pope, the Minister of Agriculture, has caused to be imported some specimens of the best beet seed, wtiloh we believe would be given on application at Ottawa. »situtifU Mim%.

Trbatmbnt of Shai occiput and temples. This produces a soporific eflfect, which generally lasts as long as the water continues to flow. The sleep u said to be very soothing, and children who have been much subjected to its influence are known to have been un- usually flree flrom the annoyances incidental to the period of dentition. Sybup of Coffbb.— This preparation is of great use to those who have long Journeys to Tiiake. Take half a pound of the best ground ooflbe ; put into a saucepan, containing three Slnts or water, and boil it down to one pint. 'ool the liquor, put it into another saucepan well scoured, and,boil it again. As It bolls add wliite sugar, enough to give it the consis- tency of syrup. Take it flrom the fire aud when it Is cold put it into a bottle, and seal. When travelling, if you wish for a cup of good coffee, you have only to put two tea- spoonAils of the syrup into au ordinary coffee-pot, and fill with boiling water. Add milk to taste if you can get it. What is in tub Bed-boom?— if two pers«ns are to occupy a bed- room during the night, let them step on a weighViig scale as they retire, and then again in the morning, and they will find that their actual weight Is at least a pound less in the morning. Fru- qu3ntly there will bo a Iohh of two or more pounds, and the average loss throughout the year will be a pound of matter, wlilch hau gone off fttjm tbelr bodies, partly from the lungs, and partly through the pores of thci skin. The escaped matter is carbonic acid and decayed animal matter or poisonous exhalation. TUhi Is difi'used tlirough the air in part, and In part absorbed by the bed- clol'heH. If a single ounce of wool cotton bo burned in a room, it will so completely satu- ral« the air with smoke that one csvn hardly breathe, though there can only be oce ounce of foreign matter in the air. If an ounce of cotton bo burned every half hour during the night, the air will bo kept continually satu- rated with smoke, unless there be an open window or door for it to escape. Now the sixteen ounces of smoke thus formed is far less poisonous than the sixteen of exhala- tions from the lungs and bodies of two persons who havo lost a pound in weight during the eight hours of sleeping; for while the dry smcHco Is mainly taken into the lungs, the, damp odoui's from the body areacBorbeil both into tho lungs and into the pores of the whole body. Need more be said to show the importance of having bed-rooms woll ventilated, aud of thoroughly airing the shectn, coverlids, and mattrases In the morning, ttefore packing them up in the form of a neatly-made bed? LidUiD Gluk.— An excellent liquid glue is made by dissolving glue in nitric ether. The ether will only dissolve a certain amount of glue, con»«quenily the glue can- not be made too thick. The glue thus made Is about the consistency of mulasses, and is doub'y as tenacious as that made with hot water. If a few bits of ! ndiarubber, cut into scraps the size of a buck-shot^ be added, and the solution allowed to stand a ISaw days. A being stirred frequently, it will bs aU the better, aud will resist the dampness twloe as well as glue made in water. To Presbkvb Bread a loito Tun.— Cut the bread into thick slices, and bake It in an oven, so as to reader it perfectly dry. In this coiidlilon it will be kept good for any length of lime required. It must, however, be carefully kept from pres.sure ; otherwls*, owing to Its briitleness, it will soon tali to gieces. When required f(}r u<>e, dip the read for an iuatant Into warm water, and then hold it befora tho fire till dry; then butter it, aud It will taste like toa»t. This is a useful way of preserving bread for voy- {^es, and also any bre^d ituit may ba too stale to be eaten in the usual way. Oknauentino Glass.— Bleached shellac is colored by alcobolic solutions of any of the aniline colours ; this is sprend upon glass or mica after taey have boon warmed. Qun- cotton, dissolved in ether, when colored with any of the aniline dyes, forms beauti- fully tinted films. This cf)lored collodion can be cut Into any patUirn, and the film at- tached to any transparent surface. New ANENOMETKa.— a new anenometer has been invented by Mr. J. E. Gordon, of which four instruments are now in action, for indicating and registering the force ana direction of the wind at any distance fh>m tho vane, the communicati'm being made by means of electric wirts. The vane might be at Portsmouth, and tlie pi iuilng Instru- ment in tho Meteorulogicul Oiflce at Weat- minster. KxTRACT OF Meat,— Professor Artui, of Jena, recommends a new method of mak- Insr extract of meat, which possesses the advantiigo over that of Meblg in retaining tha albumen, gcliitine, a/ id fat, which are all removed by Liebig's procesji, and wtfioh would seem, from recent ex|jeriments, to he tho only nutritions elements of the meat. For this pinposo, by a very sijnple appar« atus, au t^xtruct of the lueut is made first with cold water ; this dissolves out the sola- bin suits, the albumen, and part of the gela- tine and creatine. The meat, after extrac- tion in this way with cold water, is then bolied for a hour in a Paplu's digester, and the liquid pressed out. The fat is skimmed ott' tho surface, aud this extract is mixed with the cold extivict.

Moreover, the French Sanitiiry Commission hsis lately pointed out that the sunflower is a most useful plant; It .N'ields about 40 per cent, of good oil, the leaves furnish an excellent fodder, and the stem, being rich in salipetre and potasli, makes a gocxl fuel. 8INGULAR German Theory.— The curi- ous theory is propounded by a physician la (lermany that smull-pox originates trova. an excess of albuminous matter in the blood, and that this is to be prevented by the ad- ministration of common salt. The habit ot children indulging over freely in sweetmeats he considers one great cause of tills undo* development of albumen, and 000*66 « \pr rubbing, and its cleanliness and color are perfect.

Uaptuln Kbldeway a>ked the aid of tiolentlllc n>un in devising a c^tove thai would aw.wi^r the double purpoNe of supplying a htitticlent amount of heat and of economising the fuel. Among the patterns furnished that of Pro- fessor MeldliJgcr, of OarUrhue, was con- sidered the bebt. This Is simply uu Iron stove havlnp; a double wall, with a space about two lutibes wl le between the outer aod inner one, to which the air lias free access abovM and below. The cold air being sUways at the bottom, and the warm air aBo«iMiDg, it follows that all the idr In the room is being constantly forced through the space betweeu the out and ttie Ituiar cover- ing of the stove; or, what is the same, is being constantly heated. Connected with this Is another ingenious device. The coal is put in from the top» and fills the whole in>- slde of the stove, which is about six f<>et high, more or less. It is then lighted at the top, and kept burning by tbe draught created by valves mserted both in the si le walls and at the bottom of the stove. The more valves that are open the jp-eater the heat, so that the temperature or tbe room can be regulated to a nicety. At the same time the outer waU, being at a distance from tbe inner one, never reaches the excessive beat which l4 BO great an objection In ordinary iron stoves. The expense of fUel to produce n sufficient amount of heat Is very much less than tliat for ordinary stoves, and the new Invention is raploly coming into use in Qermany. BtbamTowixg.— A scheme Is mooted for the adoption ol steam towing on the eon' thiuouB lines ol canalH and rivers lying be' tweenthe Straits of Dover and the Oulf of Lyons, so as to unite the Mediterranean and the English Chcmnel by a navigable route of medium speed. A single line of rail, weighing lOllb. per foot lineal, is to be laid along the banks, with fonr-wheeled traction engines running thereon, each engine weigniug four tons, and towing a single boat of of 150 to 160 tons' weight (with cargo), iit a speed of about three miles per liou*, working in relays and exchanging boats; the return Journey, when empty, being made at double speed. Successful trials are said to have been made of tlds system on the Marne (Junal.

It has been lound tnat the results ot these pills in match factories are better than those obtained by the use of the essence of terebenthlne, a* the conthjued use of the latter produces violent heod-achcs. A Pl.EA8A>T CUIJE FOB THE UoDT.— It has been stated that the advantages of asparagus are not sullicleBtly estimated by those wlio sutler irom rheumatism and f;uut. Hllght cases of rheumatism are cured n a few days by feeding on this delicious esc ulent; and more chronic ca^es are much roUeveil, -ospcclally if the patient carefully uvulds all acids, whether in tood or beverage. The .Jerusalem artichoke lias also a slmuar etlect in relieving rheumatism. The heads may bo eaten lu the usual way, but tea made from the leaves of the stalks, and drunk three or four times a day. Is a certam remedy, though not equally agreeable. A Novel Racing Boat.— A i/i.iceable and ipost interesting invention of recent dute Is a novel kind of racing boat, or, htrictl.v speaking, a paper-covered boat, although they are popularly known by the former designation. The paper used in the manulaeture of boats is prepared ft-om elUier linen or manllla. When made ftx>m the former material, the skin is formed of ■OOK AMD AUIiUIAO OV OAHAOA WOU MTI. Scientific Items.

In citber case the paper is moulded wben damp ou a wooden pattern of the form and dlraensi' ns of the proposed boat, and asHumcH the desired ibrm by dryine— a process which completely eflbces nil seams or wrinkles. Those parts of the wooden Arame which are attached to the skin, viz., the kelson and d^adwoods, ai« adjusted to the pattern so as to form part of it, and when tae covering dries adneies to it. The application of waterproof varnish, the finishing of the irame and deckti, witli the usual brass and iron trimmings as in an ordinary boat, complete the building. , The Dombstic U.sk.s oj'' Ambionia.— The utility of ammonia in various domestic transactions is not unknown to many readers, nevertheless, it is not f o widely re- cognized as it might be, save when presented under some fancy name at an exorbitant Srloe. Ammonia is nearly as useful in ouitekeeping as soap, and its cheapness brings it witliin the reach of all. For mmy household purposes it is invaluable; yet its manifold uses are nr>t so generally known as they should be. It is a most refreshing agent at the toilet t.able ; a few drops in a basin of water will make a better bath than pure water, and if llie skin ih oily, it will remove all glosshiess and disagreeable odours. Added to the foot-bath, it entirely absorbs all noxious smell so ofien arising from the feet in w arm weather, and nothing is better for cleansing the hair irom dandruif and dust. For the lieadacho it is als^o a desirable stimulant, and frequent inhaling of its pungent odours will often entirely remove catarrhal cold. For cleansing paiiat it is very useful. [Doubtful ; will it notgradually remove the paint '.'J I'ut a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of warm soap-suds, dip in a flanijel cloth, a> d wipe oif the dust and fly-specks, grime and smoke, and see for youi selves how much labmirit will save you, no sciubbing will be needful. It will cleanse anu hrighten Avoudorfully ; to a pint of hot suds mi.: a teaspoo«ful of the spirits, dip in your silver spoons, f«rks. Ac, rub with a brush, and then pollsli on cliamois skin. For washing mirrors axid windows, it is also very desirable; put a few drops of ammonia wpou a plo".: or newspaper, and you will readily lak ■ >r every sijot or finger- mark on th'- glass, i ,yiU take out grease-spots from any fabric; put on the ammonia nearly clear, lay blotting paper over the place, and press a hot flat iron on it for a few moments. A few drops in water will clean laces and whiten them finely, also muslins. For clor>"ti ghairard nail brushes it is equally good. Put a teaspoonful of ammoma into one phit of warm or cold water and shatie the brushes tnrough the water; when the bristles look white, rinse them in cold waiter and put into the sunsliine or in a warm place to d ry. The dirtiest brushes will oome out from this batn wiilte and clean. There Is no better remedy for heartbiu-n and dyspepsia, and the aromatic spirit of am- monia is specially prepared fbr these troubles. Ten drops of it in a wineglass of water are often a great rel'ef. The spirits of ammouja can be taken in the same way, but it is not as palataolo a dose. Farmera aud chemists are well aware of the beneti- olal eflSacts of ammonia on all kinds of vegetation; and It you desire your roses, ger iniums, fuchsias, Ac, to l)ecome more donrisblog, you can try It upon them, by adding five or six drops of it to every pint of warm water that you give them ; bnt don't repeat the dose oftener than once In every five or nix days, lest you stlmolate ihem too highly. Rain-water Is impreg- nated with ammonia, and thus it retrmbn and vivifies vegetable life. Ho be sure and keep a large bottle of ammonia In the house, and have a glass stopper fur It, as It Is very evanescent, and also injurious to corke, eating them away.

DuGONO Oil.— Attention has been re- called, by the contents of the (Queensland Annexe at the International Exhibition, to the medical uses of the dugong oil. It hns been declared to possess nil the nutri- tive qualities of cod-liver oil, and to be equally useful In all the forms of tuberculous and wasting diseases which are oenefited by t^e administration of cod oil. It is alleged to possess an actually agreeable flavour, to be pleasant as an article of >oo(l, and to be acceptable to those whose stomachs reject cod-oU. At a recent dinner In the Annexe the pastry was made with dugong oil, and pronounced excellent. Tliis .should make It a Taluable naedicine, and one which might with advantage, be introduced Into nractlcal use by prescribing physicians in this coun- try; FHOTOGRAPHrNG THE PuLSE.— The Inge- nious apparatus invented by Dr. Ozanara of Paris, for rendering tiio variable beatings of the pulse visible, is tilrealy proving itself of practical value. It consists of a C'lmera luclda, alxjut ten Indies wide. In which a piece of mechanism, moving at a uniform rate, pushes a glass-plate, prepared with collodion, In front of a very narrow aper- ture exposed to the lifeht. In this aperture Is a glass tube, in which a column of mer- cury may rise or full, as in a thermometer. By attac'ilngtotlie wristn rubber tube, tilled with mercury, in connection with the tube of the appar.itn.s, the boating ol the pulse Is received on this artificial artery, and the pulsations are transmitted to the recording apparatus. As the column in the tube acte af a screen, light can peiiotrate the aperture only wheie the column is deficient; conse- quently the prepared plate becomes black under the influence of light everywhere except at such places as the column Inter- cepts It. As the column rises and falls with each pulsation of the heart, these black lines on the propareint8, together with the method of con- struction and the peculiar nature of the material, make these wheels worthy of attention." The tyre, however. Is of steel, and covering the whole of each side of the wheel are two side-plates of Norway Iron boiler-plate, which fit against a shoulder turned In the t.vre. The paper ^mework Is said to give elasticity to the cars In mo- tion, and "deadens the Jar." Trains have been run at the rate of thirty miles an hour with these wheels, which are said to be very strong and lasting. Potassium.— Professor A. E. Dalbear des cribes a new process for preparing this metal, which may prove of great commerr'i,l value. He first forms sulphide of poUuoium by treating dissolved sticks of caustic potassa with sulphuretted hydrogen, and subse- quently evaporating until the mass was solid In cooling. This mass was then mixed with somewhat more th m Its bulk of iron filings and subjected to distillation, the pro- duct being led Into petroleum. The reagents used in this process are low In price; the process seems to be a very sensible one, and worthy of trial on the commercial scale. Fins.— A French Inventor has patented an apparatus for swimmers. For the hands helms a large membranous fin, which Is held In Its place by loops passing over the fingers and a strap around the wrist. The surface presented to the water by these fins Is so large as to add greatly to the eflTectlve- ness of the strokes of the arm, but not so large as to exhaust the muscular power. Their efTect Is to reduce very much the effort required to swim without them. But the greatest Ingenuity Is displayed In the form and fitness of the fins for the legs, which are attached to the ankles, and are su formed that they act upon the water, both In the movement of bringing the legs together and throwing them back. They act so finely in "treading water," as swimmers call It, th^t ono could really Walk, If not on the water,' at least In It. The difference between swim- ming with this apparatus and without it, is very much like the handle and the blade of an oar. The old swimmer has no trouble In using the fins at first trial, and is sur- prised to flnd with what ease be can swim without exhaustion. He eaall,v swims twice as fast with the apparatus as without it, and he can sostain himself for hwire ti|ion tb» v«tflr or ivla mSm witk it. w -J ,-. i- .

We learn from the la< i, itoport of the Ml- nleter of Agriculture thai tbe total number oTImmlgrantarrlvaUi In 1871 was 65^722. This iibowe a decrease, as compared with 1870; ibegroiN numbers In that year beiwr 69,U19, which figures, at compared with muse of Uti.alao showed a oonslderablo df urease, tbo Immigration of that year being 74,365. The total number of Immigrant arrivals luring the first nine mouths of 1872 was (18)966; and of these tbo number of passengers for the United Ststes wa« 81,617 so far us as- oertalned. There, therefore, remained In Oanadadurlng thu nine months (to Septem. tier 80) 97,1)41 ; or i),600 more than in the Whole year 1871. The three unexpired months will odd very ormslderably to ibese llguree. The return of 1872; will, therefore, Kbow much better for the Dominion than that of 1871. Tbe number of Immigrant arrivals by the f figuree In those years being, 36,511 and 80l820 respectively. nie arrlvalr of immigrants at ports In the MarltlmePrvifices, during 1871. were 1.337, showUif an Inoreaee of 6S0 over the previous year. Ontble state of things the Minister re- marks ; "the decline in the total immigra- tion In IKTO, as compared with 1869, was at- tributed In the report of my predecessor to tbe revival of trade in Great Britain, and to tbe disturbed state of the continent of JUurope. In 1871, the revival of trade in the Dalted Kingdom was still more marked; and to this cause may be attributed the con- tinued obeok In tbe stream of emigration from that source." We still further gather on the authority od this Report that the numiierH of Immigraots who arrived by theBt. L«twrence and pasued through the Dominion In proceeding to the TTnited States, daring the last six veftni, as reported by Dominion (jtovernment Agents, were as follow :— 1866 41,701 1867 47,2U 1868 W.68a 1869 67,aUil 1870 44 8Ut 1871 87,040 The numbers of those reported by the Do- minion agents to have settled In Canada during the same period of sl.\ years, were as follow : 1866 10,001 1867 14,660 1868 12,765 1869 18,680 1870 ii»,70« 1871 27,778 It thus appears from a comparison of these statements, that while there was a lai-ge decrease In the numbers of those who went through Canada to the U tilted States In 1871, as compared with 1870, or anvof the years since 186$ there was a large increase In the numbers of those, who announced to the Dominion agents that thoy had come to settle In Canada. The decrease in the num- bers of those who went through Canada to the United States in 1871, ns compared with 1870, was 6,;i6l, or U'Ha per cent. Ah compared with the average of the previous five years, it was 19,873, or 23.83 »«r wnt. On the other hand the Increase In 1871, as compared with 1870, intheimmigrnnts who ciime to settle in Canada, was 3,067, or 12.41 pur cent. ; and as compared with the averane of the previoos five years, was 11,602, or 71.72 percent.

Besides the amount paid br the Dominion GoTemment the Provlnolal Governments of Ontario and c^uebec expended consldei- able sums for the care of Immigrants, and otherwise for Imoi IgraMon service. Untp.rlo «pentalU]<:ether, iu 1871, $2!),/12.60,of which sum $4,387. 48 were tor provisions and medi- cal attendance for Indigent immigrants, and $6,65a.(U for the transport of immi- grants and their baggage. Quebec spent m the same year $1S,'J01, of which amount about one-fourtli waH spent for the tempo- rary maintenance and transport of Indigent Immigrants. And New Brunswick ox- pendeil for aid and transport of Immigrants, S3ti0.61. making a total spent by the Prov- inces of $48,301.17 on account of immigra- tion. The combined total expenditure for the service of immigration for the Domi- nion and the Provinces of Ontario, tj,uebec and New Krunswlnlt, tn 1871, was $iaJJ,612.i». A large and commodious Immigrant Sta- tion has b«un erected at (.Quebec. It is pro- vided witti facilities to enable them to wash and cleanse tiiemsolves aftor coming off ship-board, with lucillties for coolilng. and large apartments lu AVhich they can bleep. Pro^islun Is mode for supplying meals ut reasonable rules In this building to immi- grants. Meals ar;^! ylven free to the absolutely Indigent; but these limitod to cases of real neetu The Government Agent at liuebec, and ills assistants, bestow upon immigrants every possible attention, information us to the routes, and advice as to the localities where work can be nbtaioeU. Medicines and medical attendance are pravlded free for the sick. At Montreal another Immigrant Station, similar in cluuucter, but of smaller size, is erected, li uouUiln^ tne same klndofcoa- venienocs uud accommodation as the Quo- ben Station, und the same kind of cai'u *.s taken c: ilie immigrants at this point. At King.stoii tliero is sllll another Immi- grant Station, of whicli precisely tlie same remarks may bo made. At Toronto, whicli Is the chief distributing point, ttif re is a large Station erected, where Immigrants receive all needful accommo- dation and Inlormatlon, and from which they aredc»i>atohed to th ir several destina- tions. In the new Province of Manitoba, it is proijosed to erect a suitable shed for the tem- porary accommodation of Immigrants, who, ft is bu,)po.sed, will go there in greater num- bers tban heretofore . The total number of immigrants assisted by b<=-nevolant soctetle» and mdlviduals in the United KUigdom in 1871, wa^ 4.590, as appears irom the returns compiled by the Dominion agent at Quebec. In the pravious year the number was »,787, the decrease being more tlian one-half The following statement shows the niun- bers of immigrants who were sisslsted by the several societies and by Individuals-, in 1871, to enable them to come to Canada :— British and Colonial Emigration Fund J.071 National Emlgratiou Leaaue 055 Hon.

The fact is attrlbuuble to the revival of all branches of trade in the United Klng^ dom, and the consequent general prosperity creating an increased demand for labour and raising the rate of wages; thus creating at the same time, Indisposition on the part of the public to subscribe to emigration f\uid8, and Indisposition on the part of the labour- ing classes to leave the country. ^k rmMii;;rautH now come to Canada, almtlVf wholly by steamships in preference to sail ing vessels. Out of the 37,020 immigrants who latidfxl ut (Quebec durlrig the year 1871, 29,284 Nailed from ports In the ITnlted king- dom ; and of theso 28,14ti came out in steam- ships. It thus appears that only 1,1.40 emigrants from ports in the Uidted Kingdom came out b.\- sailing vessel*". Tiie rate of iiassage by steamshliw, fixed by a combinailon of all the Unes plying across the Atlantic is £S Osi stg. while tha^ by sailing vessels is about JH 10s or less. Bui lh(( greater swifness and comforts of tbe passage in in the steamships bring the pas- sengers in much better health, while the saving of time, which might be employed lu earning wages, makes an economy In favour of flie steamships. It was announced during the year that the Dominion Govt, would issue Passenger Warrants to bring immigrants at the le ducetlrateof jt4.5s8tg. per adult, and cWl. dren in proportion. In steamshlpr,. A large number availed themselves of tnls aid It was also announced that the l>omlnion Govt. Asronts would receive monies from parties iti tliis country wlio dt sired to make advances to pay the passages of Immi- grants ; and it will ba found t nat advances I 'f this kind will becomi! more and more ne cetsaiy in order to obtain suppUes for the labour demands of the country. In Older to facilitate advances of this natui'e the immigrant Aid Societies Act was passed. The following is a summary : IMMIQKANT AID SOCIKTIKS ACT. Cap. 29— Authorizes the formation of societies for the promotion of immigration by subscription sand advances matte to In. tending emigrants from abroad; and pro- viding a means of recovering such advances in adVHUces in cash or labor.

The health of Immigrants arrlTlng by way uf the Ht. Uiwrenee was generally good dnrlng the season of 1871. Forty-one vessels were Inspeoted at Qrosse Isle, oontalning a totPl of 8,8 8 passengers, against fbrty-nlbe vessels and 18 186 passengers in 1870 showing a decrease of eight vessels and 4,768 passen- gers. The deaths In hospital were seven ftgalnstslz the prevlcas year. The expon- dtture for the maintenance of the station at Qroese Isle for the year was $18,316.31. There was very little sickness at the other Buarantlne stations In New Brunswick and tova Scotia, and none among Immigrants. CLASSES or PERSONS WHO SHOULD IMMI- OBATB To CANADA. A memorandum has recently been pub- lished by the Imperial Glovernment, written by the Hon. Mr. Pope, the Canadian Min- ister, who It' charged with Immigration (dated June, 1872), in which the following Htatementa are made respecting the classes of persou/j who ought to Immigrate to Cnnada ; " The c'lasses of labourers whose labour is most In demand, are tho Agricultural, Agriculture being,at present, the cliief inter- est of the DomlnJnn. But there is also a very Urge demand lor the classes of common able-bddied luboiirpr9, arising from the num- erous and extonslve public works and build- ings everywhere in progre8.s in the Domi- ulon, and this demand will bo largely uicreoscd by other large public works pro- jected,— notably tlie Canadian Pacific Hall- way and tlie Canadian Canal System. "The handicrafts and trades generally, which are, so to niwak, of universal applica- tion, can also always absorb a large number of artisans and Journeymen "There is every whtto, in town and coun- try, a Inrgw demand for female domestic servants of good character. "Children of eltUer sex, respectably vouclied for, and watched over ui)on tlieir arrival, by parties wlio bring iliemout, may be absorbed in very considerable numbers. " The various manufactures incident to a comparativelj' now country, coustUute an mportant and rapidly increasing brancli of Industry; and they cause a lar^e demand for Immigrant labour. " The getting out of timber from the torosts and its manutac ure, form a U'adlnt< indus- try of the Dominion ; but not one to be much rolled on for newly arrived immigrants, tlie various descriptions of labour which it re- quires being best jvjrformed by persons wlio nave had speei.-'l training in tliis country. jThe various industries, however, which have immediate sympa'hy witli it, mako a large demand for Immigrant l)ilx>ur. • '''he Fislieries oi the Dominion, both on the J. tlantlc and Paciflc c^sist, are of almost unllmit«d extent, and aQbrd a field for the particular kind oi labour adapted to them. "The Dominion po8ses.ses very e.xU nsive mining resources of almost every kind. Tliese ofler a wide field for explorations, and hold out much promise for the future. Their pre- Nnt state of development calls tor a consl- rable amount of labour, which it Is expected will be Increased to a very large extent^ Id the Immediate Aitnre. " It may be remarked that the claMea which should not be Induced to emigrate to Canada, unless upon recommendation of private trlends, and with a view to plaoer speolally available, are professional or liter ary men, and clerks and shopmen. As amle there Is a tendency towards an over supply of applicants for these callings from wiltdn the Dominion Itself, and unknown or un friended Immigrants seeking employment In them, might encounter painnil dlaap- polntmehts." NUMBERS OF tXMIORAMTS CANADA CAIf ABSORB. U«r Majesty's Emigration Commission' ers In their .32nd Report, for 1871, make the lollowing statement: " Canada cannot at present absorb more than between 30,000 and 40,000 emigrants a year; and the excess beyond that numtier can obtain employment only in the labor marketofthe United States." Tills statement lias not only no foundati millions of set- tiers, but these will be more particularly heremafter referred to. TSAB.BOOM AMD AUIAVAC OW GAHADA VOR ItTt.

We quote tho Ibllowlng further extraoU ftom the mnmorandum of Mr. Potvi^ : "With rfl(ip«30l to Hhe probable waves that imnalgrantii would earn on tbelr arrival In Canada, an average taken from the reports of tlie several Iiomlnlon Immigra- tion Agents, im £59 to £60 a year, without board and lodging. The most common mode of engaging af^rlcultural labourers Is, however, with ooHrd und lodging. "Hkllled farm bauds get fVom £80 to £40 a year, with boird and lodging. " Common labourers get ttom 6s. to Os. 8d. a day. <*The wages of mochanlna and skilled artisans vary according to circumstances flrom Os. to 10s. a day. •' The wages of female servants vary fW>m 10s. to £2 a month, with board and lodging. But there are oases In which higher wages are jiald to servants, according to capacity, or us there may happen to be demand. Very common rates are fh>m XI 4s. to £1 1'^s. per month. " Boys in situations get fk-om Ifls. to £2 a month, with board and Icxlglng, according to age and capacity. " It may be stated In connection with th o rates of wages, that food is plentirul and cheap in Canada; and the Dominion is, therefore, a cheap country to live In. The following are average prices : 4-lb loaf, ot white bread, 6d. to Od ; salt butter, 9d. to I3d. per lb.; meat,8id.,6d. toOd.perlb.; cheese, tid. to 7^. per lb. ; potatoes. Is. to 28. per bushel; sugar (brown), but dry and supe- rior quality, 41d, to M. per lb. ; tea, 2s. to 2b. 6d. per lb. ; eggs. 6d. to M. per doison ; milk, per quart, 'i^a, to 8d.: beer, 2J.to 6d. per quart; tobacco, Is. to 2b. per lb.; and other articles In proportion. «• The purchasing power of the dollar in Canada, Is much greater than in other parts of America, especially In those things which go to make the cost of living, and this fact should always be kept in mind, in making comparisons between the rates of wages paid in Canada and the United Btat«s. It lias happened that considerable numbers of persons who had left' Canada, attracted by the higher apparent rate of wages paid in the United States, returned during the past year." EXTENT OF TERRITORY. The following statement s ws the num- ber of squiire mllesof the several rrovinucs and the unorganized Territory of the Do- minion : Hq. Mtlea. Nova ScotlE.... 18,««0 New Brunswick 27,500 Quebec 377,015 Ontario 121,200 ManltobB 14,840 North Wpst Territory 2,760,000 British Columbia 220,000 8,52!),806 CLIMATE. As regards the Climate of Canada, It may be remarked that it has been more mlscon- tbe pre- celved than any other Itet pertaining to 1 conntry. Very exaggerated impressions p vail respecting the rigor of Canadian Win- tors. I tls ' rue that these are very decided in their character; and the snow, in msny parts, covers the ground to a depth of two or three fe<>t ; but there are advantages in this. The snow is dry und packs under foot, making the best mads and forming a warm covering lor the earth, prndncinu moreover an eHect ujion the soli whl«*h groatly facili- tates the o|)erat.|cinH of the liirmt^r in the Spring. The dry winter atmosphere is bracing and pleasant. The sensation of cold Is far more unplea- sant during thp damp days, such as mark for instance the winters of tho United Kingdom, than when the winter regularly sets in. The suuimer^, like the winters are also of a decided characror, being in the main warm and bright; and rruit«and vege- tables which cannot bo ripened In the open air in England will ripen here to jierffctlon It is believed that, taken as a whole, the Climate of Canada is more favoraiile for both the Agriculturist and the Horticulturist than that of England; with the single ox ceptlon of length of season in which labour can be done in tbe field. On this point, however, It may l)e remarked, as has been stated by Professor Johnston In his work on New Brunswick, that the number of days In which lal)our cannot be performed in the field, owing tornln, is much less in this oouutry than in England. LAND SYSTEM. As regards the land system of tbe Dominion, it may be stated that in the Pm\inces of Ontario, Queber, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and British Columbia, with the ex ceptlon of a tract In the last named Province, ceded to the Dominion for the purpose of the Pocltic Railway, the lands are held by the Gevck'ttl Provincial Governments. In several of the Provinces free grants are given to im- migrants, and in almost all cases in which Qovernment land Is for sale, it is offered at prices which are merely nominal, and which really only amount to settlement duties. The lands In the Province of Manitoba and tho North West leiTliory are held by the Dominion Government, which at present gives free grants ot 100 acres in Manitoba on the condition of settlement. Dominion lands are also sold for 4s. 2d. sterling per acre. The Dominion Lands are surveyed in blocks of 12 miles square, and these blocks are subdivided Into four TowiiShips of six miles square aaoh ; these again Into 30 sec- tions of one mile square or 040 acres each ; and each section into qiuuters of 180 acres each.

The climate Is exceedingly healthy and salubrious, and tho atmosphere Is clear, puro and bracing, and rarely suliluct to fons. Mr. Roche, who nun visited the Island, says in his paper read before the Literary and HlsU)rlcal B>clety of Quebec: "When "Ant.oostl shall be properly known and "occupied It win probably becomo the '•resort of many of those who now seek " health or recreation at the les.s bracing and " less Interesting watorlne places upon the "main shores of the river.

The settlers will be, as at present, free from taxation. Requisitions for lots may now be ad- dressed to the secretary of the company at their otfice In Montreal; and those will be disposed «>f as early In the ensuing year as the surveys and plans are completed. §ritijsilt r the fisheries. Tides in the Strait of Fucaare rather Irre- gular. Oa the western bide of Vancouver they are regular flood and ebb of 6 hours duration, but there are great and perplexing tidal irregularities between the Strait of Fuca,f)rom the Race Island to Cape Mudge, 150 miles distant. The total number of vessels that entered the porta of British Columbia in 1870 was 804, of wtiich 607 were British and 207 forelam, 545 with cargoes and 260 in ballast. The total tonnage was VK\,im tons. The num- ber of vessels that cleared flrom the ports for the same year was 886, and the tonnage 173,209. There are steamers between Victoria and New Westminster on the Frasf^r River as ftir as Yale. A steamer has also been put on this river on the Cariboo route between SodaUreek and Q,uesnel, and as ftEur up as Fort George, and another on Lake Fatla for the convenience of reaching the Ominica Mines. The fisheries are probably the richest in the world. Whales and teals abound in the northern f eas. Sturgeon are plentifhl in the rivers and estuaries of British Ooumbia. They are found weighing over 6001bs.,and are caught with littJe dlflfcnlty. Salmon are excellent and most abundant Those of Fraser River are justly fliinoui. There are 8 speciestand they mak« thttr way up the river ^r l,000miles. The Kllver MlmoD begrins to arrive in Match or enrly in April and lasta till the end of June. TheaverMg* weight is trom. 4 to 25 lbs,, but they bftVt been caught weighing over 70. Tne Sod kind are caught from June to August, and are considered the finest. Their av«rM« size is only 6 or a lbs. The third oomlDg in August, average 7 lbs., and are an f xoallMt fish. The noau or humpback salmon every second year, lasting from August till winter, weighing from ff to 14 Iba, TiM hory enter the river in millions, and tboM oaugbt at the norih are said to be so full of oil tbal they will btirn like a candle. Several species of cod are found, and It la believed there are extensive cod baoks in the Gulf of Qeorgla. Herring also abounds during tbe wIntM months, and are largely used both frakb ana tmoked, and are of good quality. Halibut banks are of frequent i oouranoai and the fish attain an tnormous size. Anchovies are only second to tba oulacbans In abundance, and may be taken with great ease during the autumn. Haddock is caught In the winter montha. Dogfibh c ary seasons. On the Cariboo road there la • Slain 150 miles long and WorSp Wide, and etween the Thompson and Fraaer rlTera there is an Immense tract of arable and grazing land. The hills and plaina are oof • eredwh bunch grass on wbiobtbe oatUe and horses live all winter, and its nutritive qualiUes are said to exceed tbe celebrated blue grass and clover of Virginia. The forest lands are of great extent and the timber most valuable. They are (bond throughout nearly the whole extent of tbe Province. The principal trees are the Douglaa pine,menzies fIr,yellow fir,balsam,bemlook, white pine, yellow pine, oedun yellow engross, arbor vltoe, yew, oak, white maple, arbutus, alder, dog wood, aspen, olierrT, crab apple, willow andcotton wood. Tbe Dooflaa pine is almost universal on theaeaeoaat, and up to the Cascade range, it preponder- ates at the southern end of Vanoouven and along its east and west oonat» the flMf t being found in the valley and low (founda rSAR BOOK AND ALXASTAO QW CABIADA FOB liTt.

It yields spars firom 9U to 100 feet In leugth, oan often be obtained 160 feet tree ftom knots, and has squared 46 Inches for 90 feet. It Is thought to be the strongest pine or flr In existence. Broken In the gale, the stem Is splintered to a height of at least '20 feet, and It Is a^tonlshlrg to see how smalt a portion of the trunk will with- stand the leverage cf the wliole tree. The timber contains a great deal ofrevlnand is exceedingly' durable. The bark resembles cork. Is often 8 or 9 Inches thick, and makes splendid fliel. On the banks of the Nltnlat Inlet and elsewhere, forests ol the Menzles pine occur suitable in cize for first class spars, and the wood works beantlfully. The white pine Is common everywhere. The Scotch flr is found on the bottom lands with the willow and Cottonwood. The cedar abounds in all parts of the country and attains an enormous rrowth. Hemlock spruce is very common. The maple Is universal everywb re. The arbutus grows very latge, and the wood in color and text re resembles box. There are two kinds of oak, much ofitofgond fsize and quality. There are few lumbering establishments, the trade being haidly developed. The value of timber exp* in ed In 1870 was $128,267. It was expected to La considerably more in 1871. The Frazer Hiver and its tributaries, with the numerous lakes communicating with them, famish great fhcllities for the con> veyance of timber. Ihe Lower Fraser country especially is densely wooded. Smaller streams and the numerouit InJets and arms of the sea furnish facilities for the radon ftirther north. The mineral wealth is very great. Gold does not seem to be confined to any one sec- tion. It Is Ibund all along the Fraser and Thompson rivers, again in the north along the Peace and Omlnloa rivers.and on Oerm- ansen Creek, and on Vancouver Ibland. Prom the U. S. ftontler to the &Sd degree N . lat.,and for a width of from 1 to 200 miles, gold is found nearly everywhere. A thorough geological survey, roads to rt ach the minis, and capital to carry them on, seem to be the only obstacles to gold mining lo an almost ezhaustless extent. The yield of gold, under all these obstacles, for 1870, wait over ^l,)i0O,- UOO. The yield firora the new mines opened intbeOminica Di8iri<>t,in 1871, is estimated at about 2400,000^ and that fhim the older mines of the Cariboo distiiot a^ over a mil- lion. Silver mines are found In the Fraser Val- ley, and one mine has been put In '..peratlon with every prospect of success. Copper is also abundant. The coal mines are even more valuable than the gold. Bituminous coal is found on Vancouver's Island in several places, seoially along the east coast. The mines at Nanaimo are the only ones that have yet been much worked. The coal is of rair quality, superior to the Scotch but not equal to the Welsh. The Dons- mulr coeil at Departure Bay is pro- noonoed, however, to be superior for steam- ing purposes to the Newcastle. This mine was only opened In 1860. The harbors both of Nanaimo and Departure Bay are ez- oellent. Veins of coal have been fbund in other parts of the Province. That of the Nicola River, 100 miles tKoa the sea, is said to be saperlw to that of the coast; Anthracite coal, very excellent in qu«lity, is Ibtmd on 6, exoliuiive of ludiaus. Tiie ChliiesMf popuiutiou Increased during 1871 lo ^OOU. Tliey are on industrious, clean and laborious community, and though not regarded with great affection by the people, are never ill-treated. Among the colonists there is the siimo disprouortlun between men and women as in other gold regions, the men t)eiDe more than two-thirds oi tho population . Tho people are intelligent and Industrious, and remarlcablo for the spirit of order and submission to law. The Indian population is estimated from thirty to fifty thousand souls. They are found all over the Province. On Vancou- ver's island they are mostly coast Indians. Tiieir houses are a sort ot one story card castle, of axe-hewn lumber, divided into several compartments, one of which is occupied by each lamlly. They have great skill in the manuf^ture and management of canoes. On the mainUiud they frequent more the upper country, it being superior for hunting and the salmon abundant in the rivers. Wild berries grow in great profusion and are a staple article of Indian food . The houses here are made of skins, more or less dressnd, old tent olottu, mat% Ao. In Mver«> weather they build underground bonseo^ ciraular pltt, nom 20 to 40 feet in diameter and 8 or ID feet deep, covered with a rab- stantlal earth roof, with a circular aperture in the centre for the ingresa of men and pro- vIkIous and the egieas of the men and th« femoke.' -Polygamy prevails among all of them They are very intelligent, with great natural power of observation, but, unlike other Intelligent savages, they seem to have no r<>llgion whatever. Slavery Is universally practiced but is dying out among tribes under European Influence. ^,000 are said to be under Instruction by Anglican Misslnnartes, and as muny more by Roman Oatholic. Tiieir number seems to be always decreasing, from smalUpoz, tritwl wurs and measles. Wars h>ive much diminished among them. There has never been any trouble with them, but once since M&i, and this was caused by some white men taking possession of one of their oamp> ing places, with a much valued spring of wuter. If they could lie taught tiettled hMbits and agriculture they W'>uld become a very valuable population. They are ad mlrably adapted for opening up a new country, they are large ocHisumers of cus> tomable articles, and ihey ara the best fUr- huuters. They are ti»ithfUl and trustworthy but not especially Industrious. At the south they are dark, v ear their hair long, and are not particularly cleanly. The Northern Indians have a clear complexion, andare larger, stronger and cleaner a fine race. Their languages aro difficult and numerous, but the " Oilnook Jargon " is used by ail the tribes in their dealings with The two great wants of British Columblaf are population and means of transport. With the building of the Paoitlc Ralmay these wants will be supplied and the Pro- vince become one of the most valuable In ttte Dominion. iirinre Mv iiSiUinl Prince Edward Island, which Is situated in the southern part of the Gulf of St. Law- rence, is separated ftom Nova Scotia and New Brunswick by the Strait oT Northum- berland, the widih of the Stia>k. varying from nine to thirty miles. Tixc Island Is about 130 miles long and from 10 to 8' miles broad, ita area beiiig a;i8i miles or 1,305,7(10 acres. During the season of navigation, there is trt* weekly communication with Pictou, In Nova Scotia and Shediac in New Bruns- wick, in addition to which there are steam- ers connecting with Queb6<} and the Oulf Ports to the north and Haliliax and Boston to the south. Wliat Is known as the Bale Verte Canal, now prcdeoted, will neatly flicllitate communication with the Bay of Pundy and the New England ports. Na- vigation generally closes about the middle of December, and is resumed about the end of April or beglmUng of May. During this time malls and passengers are con- veyed across the Strait in ice boats, which ply between Cape Traverse in Prince Ed- ward Island and Gape Tormentine in New Brunswick. The passage is not at all times safe, and It Is believed that powerful steam' er«i m ght keep the oivigation oiwn nearty all, if not all, the year round. Charlottetown is the capital, situated at the confluence of the York and HillsbonNigb rivers and conftias nearly ' 10,000 Inhabit* ants; Georgetown and Sammerslde belog the other chief towns, the latter, however, firom its situation monopolising t^ie bUSl- ae.s8 ot the district, owing to its iMtter liar> l>our. The soil is remarkable Cor its fertlUty being nearly all eultivable land. It u formed for the most partofartoh layer ofve getable matter, abo^ a bright loam restlBg upon stur clay and sandstone. All kinds or grains and vegetables grown In Britirin ripen in great perfection, and during the tAu years ending in 1871, when the last Census was taken, a great Imprarenient was shown in the agrtcultoral eaoditton of the colony.

This was found to be too precarlooa to depend upon, and iti 1777 the oivll expe dlture of the Colony becam>* a charge on the Imperial Exelieqner and con- tinued to.be so till 1851, when Responsible Government was granted. The Lieutenant Governor's salHry continued, however, to be thus i>aldtlll 1868, when it also was as- iluined by the Provincial Legislature. The land.s were let to tenants on I ease of 909 years at a sbllilng sterling an acre, the first and Mcoud years being fnc, the third, three- pence per acre; the fourth, sixpence, the nflta, nlnepence, the full ratebeglnningonly on the sixth year. In the eouneof years great discontent arose and sevf^ral acts were passed with the object of dispossessing the proprietors in flavour of the tenants. These were all disaHowed, and finding snch at- tempts useless, the Provincial Government devoted as much money as oouM be spared to purchase the lands and resell them to the tenatats. The latest returns show that 446,181 acres were then bought at a cost of £98,435 US ad sterling, of whleh 845.474 were resold, leaving 90,asf acres in the hands of Govern- ment. By an Act pass'^in 1868, moilltles areotfisred to those desirous of settling on the public wilderness lands. Amongst other privileges they are allowed eighteen years to ~iyfbr their fitrms, the' first eight years se, the purchase money then to bear five percent Interest and to be payable tn ten an- nual instalment.

The Island of Newfoundland, having a sea coast or ne irly two thousand mlleo, om- mands the entrance to the (iiilf of 8t. Law- rence. Jt Is Hituated geographically between latitude 46° 37' and 51° 40' J»., and lonsrttude 620 61 and 6808IW. The climate Id salu- brlou4, the summer heat, being moderate, and the winter cold not exnesslve, the ther- mometer seldom falling to zero. The Inte- rior of the Island has as yet been little ex- plored. There Is not only no map of the Interior, but no general knowledsre of It Is to be had. The few mad* tha*. exist (except those In the peninsula of Avalon) are made along the coastand lead b^it aneof the country. Under tbla system, the fisherman finds but prospective voyage mortgaged to the merchant, who has probably not only fitted himoutfbr the voyage, but fed him and his family daring the preceding winter. In a bad season the fiHherman, burdened with debt, not unflre- quently abandons the voyage and secretly sells what he has caught in order to provide for the coming winter. In a good year the grofit to the merchant is very great, as be imself fixes the price he is to pay, at a rate to cover all bis risks, but In a baa year his looses are proportionately heavy, and expe- rience has shown that the disadvantages more than overbalance the advantages of the system. It is admitted, however, that the question of gettiag rid of the sys- tem, handed down, as It nas been, fat gen- erations, is a very dlfflcull one. * Sbal FisHtNO is one (ur the most Impor- tant of the fishing interests. Some seventy years ago^ It was prosecuted In vessels of thirty to forty^tons, manned by eight or ten men in each, vessels of fh>m 70 to 180 tons, manned by flrom 26 to 90 men were substi- tuted for these, the most suitable beinfftboae fh>m 120 to 140 tons. During the last nve or six years steamers have been introduced, and so successfully that the probabilities are this class of vessel will be used exclusively for seal fishing. In the meantime they are only a small proportion of the whole, about 200 vessels usnalur lielng engaged, employing ftom 8,«)0 to 0,U00 men. Fishing begins from about the 26th of February to about the 6tb of March,depending upon the winds, a north east wind blocking up the coast with ice, which the first strong westerly wind clean away. • There are several kinds of seals the Harp and the Hooded seal being the most plenti- ful. The first of these is the most valuable, the latter although larger and fiercer does not contain so much cmL The crews of sail' Ing vessels are paid no wages, but receive one half of the catch, which they are fk«e to dispose of to the highest purohiuwr. They pay no proportion ofthe outfit except about twenty to thirty shlUinn berth monf \ The allowance on board or the steamers is one third, but no berth money Is changed. The master, or skipper is paid fh>m aupence to sevenpence, sometimeB more, for edoh aeal. The catch varies with the seasoi . An exeep- ptlonally eood year may produce fkom sLx to seven hundred thousand seals. The average Is betwem three and flye hundred tbousend.

In June, 1871, the paid up capital of the chartered banks was $3(1415,800; in June, 1872, it was $45>.13lj609, the Increase beUig S8,7W,890, or 23J92. It witl be observed that the Increase has steadily taken place during every month of the year. If we take the first month of the fiscal year, 1870, we find the paid up capital amounted to $29,- SOLOIS, making, as compared with June, 187!^ an increase of $15,333ja96, or very nearly o3 per cent, in two years. The comparison of three years, at the end of the last fiscal year, showed an increase of 37 per cent., which is very large, and may be accepted as one sign of the prosperity or the country. The increase In circulation, as will also appear firom the table, was considerable during the fiscal year. It was, of course, subject to fluctuations. The discounts sfaojr very large increase from $^199,708 in the flrat month of the As- calyear, to 1107,861,114 in the last. The depaelts of the charteied banks at the 80th of Juno last, shewed an amount of fii,7a0,48ft and the Post Ofllce Savings nk |8,0WUSOO. Ecyond these there are the deposits in the Qovernment Satvings Banks, the Building Societies and other Savings Banks ; but we have not been able to obtain any later returns of these than those pub- lished in the year Book of U>72. The pro- bable total depoalW of the Dominion amount to$7:,2S5,000. We do not take into account in this estimate the bank-t which decline to publLsh any returns, because they are not required by their charters to do 80. Alderatlon or Parlia- ment. The credit obtained by theGtovemment tvom. this circulation is vei-y con8lder«ble ; and eflbots a very large saving to the public. It Is to be remarked that while the Government has obtained the laige drculaUnu shown by this table, that of the regular chartered Banks has not manifested any weak- ness ; but on the contrary, It has simultaneously exhibited Increase of volume. In the (bee of a system of dally clearing, and adequate provision for the protection of ihe note- holders. A careftil consideration of these facts cannot fall to be satlstbctory to the country.

THE CENSUSES OF CANADA SINCE ITS FIRST (SETTLEMENT BY CHAM- FLAIN IN 1006, COMPARED WITH THOSE OF ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES— By W. Kingston, M.A. Tlio flnt attempt at the colonization of Canada by Europeans, was made by Samuel De Cbamplaln m 1608, who brought out 80 peraons, chiefly ftom Normandy, to settle m New France, as It was then called. Sev- eral of these returned home the sande year, and so discouraging were the circumstances, that In 1680 the little colony consisted of but '■oi Individuals. After various vicissitudes iiicldent to this new settlement, the first official census was taken In 1666, when the numbers of persons was found to be 3261. Between this time and the close of the cen> t*u^y, the cenms was taken ten times ; and, ill 1608, In oonsequenoe chiefly of Immigra- tion firom France, the population had in- creased to 18,816 persons, and again in 1761 to 65^000. And assuming the general ratio of increase for the preceding half centunr, there were probably 60,000 persons in 1760, when t^e_provlnce was ceded to England. The last French census was taken In 1769, and save 82,000 (Montcalm) ; but all these ooolcTnot have oeen ordinary residents in the country, since that would imply an addi- tion to the population, during the five Inter- vening years, of more than 6,000 annually ; whereas the several censuses show that the average annual increase for several years preceding 1761, was but little more than 800. Manyoflhese then must have belonged to the army, augmented at that time in the struggle with England, and they probably soon fURer returned to France. Any addition to the population fh>m im- migration after this period, was probably from Great Britain, in 1770 the number had increased to 01,078, and to 127,816 la 1780. By an Act of the Brittsh Parliament in 17VL the old province of C^uebec was divided into Lower and Upper Canada, the entire population, at that time being (as fiar as can be deten^ned) between 160,000 and 160,000, of whom about 10^000 lived in the latter pro- vince. These were chiefly United Empire Loyalists who came ttom. the United States during and after the Revolutionary War. LowBB Canada, (Qubbkc.) A well known authority, Joseph Bouchette, places the population of this j>rovlnce in 1806, at 26O,0uOl and again in 1828^ at 460^000. the num- ber having been nearly doubled In the pre- ceding nineteen years. ;;By interpolation between these two dates, the population was about 897.600 in 1821— that is. JuitSO yean befbre the late census of 1871. Tnls year Uttl IS selected, so that there may be a oalfoon* lury for comparison between the several provinces, and also with other oountrtes. The populations for the several decennial years, beginning with 1821, and their res- pective ratios of increase, are as follows t— Yeara. Nvmbera JtaUot, 1821 397,600 "81 648,214 87.8 per Of n(.

This remarkuable decrease In the ratio given by the late census will be fUlly oo* counted for, when it is stated, that there are pretty satisfiustory data ttom which It can be shown, that probably not less than 100,000 of the people of L. Canada emigrated to the U. States between the years 1801 and llTl. These, with a moderate ratio of InorfOM, added to the numbers given by ttu) late on- sus. would show a population for the PTO' vin'ce of Q,uebec of 1,886,000, belnf an OOMOl increase of 245,000 during the last deoenniodi and giving a decnnnlal ratio of inoreoae itf S percent, instead of 7.2 as irnowstonds. This ngure would accord very fUrly wl^ the ra- tios given In the table for the preceding four decenniads, and prove that the French people of L. Canada are not less proUfln now than in former periods of their lust. X^U- lored, Ghinese and Natives, on the 2nd day of April 1871, was 19,262. The total Indian population is estimated at about 50,000. Manitoba.— The census of the provincs oflilanltoba was taken, for electoral pur- poses. In December 1870; and the number of persons, of British and French extraction, was found to be 11,045. The first census of England and Wales was taken In 1801; and the^following num- bers, taken ftx)mthe official returns, show the population in the several census years since that time (exclusive of the army and jrWe.— Although the Australian provinces do not belong to the Dominion of Canada, It Is nevertheless InterestlBg to learn, thai the same race are as prosperous on the other side of the globe as we are in America. By the census (tf 1871 the population of New Soath Wales Is 50a;8Bl, and the ratio of in- crease including immigration since 186L Is 70.2 per cent: and that of Victoria for 1871 is 7n,{0B, ibowuig an increase slnoe 1861 of 87.2 per oent navy^abroad) and their decennial ratios of Increase, viz. : Yian. 1801., 1811. . 1821.. 1831.. 1841., 1861.. 1861.. 1871..

The mean annual ratio of increase during the last 7U years, is about 1.36 per cent. Un- til recently there was very little emigration flromanyofthe countries on the continent of Europe. But notwithstanding this, the annual ratio of increase in Sweden was less than one per cent.; In Oermany and Russia, about the same as in England with her large emigration; and In I^anoe, ac- cording to one of her great statists, M Block, the ratio had fbllen, before the late Gtorman war, to .4 (four-tenths) of one per cent per annum. XnnTBD STATKS. The Government of the United States have selected the last year of the ordliuury decen- nial periods for taking the national census. Their census, therefore, does not Include the last year of each period: whereas the English census, which is always taken in the first year of each decenniad. Includes {ust the whole of the preceding period, and B, therefore, a simpler arrangement. The following are the official returns, bei^nine with 1700, with the periodic ratios of in crease:— Year.

Mr. Young, Chief of the Bureau of StatUh tics at Washington, places the entire num- ber of immigrants unce Oct:, 1819, at 7.068L- 806. Of these 8,861,88(^ or more than one TSAR BOdK un MSMMMKO O^T VXUMMK POfB ttf% J iH. m ! I t » ■^' :M- 1? 196 Centus, hnlt, were of Brttlsh origin.

The average annual Im- mlgrallnn from all countries since 1819 Is over 150,000. This fully acnople to the U. B., already noticed. And all such move- ments should be embraced in tiieoalcula* tlons tor both Low<-r and Upper Canada, when comparing them with the U. B., since there has been no emigration from the latter oountry. (.Quebec and Ontario combined have more than quintupled their popula- tion In SO yexrs; while the Republic has only quadrupled hers : for in 1820 her Lumbers were D^WS^l aud ltt,653»98!i in 1870. DEATH BATBS. Other things being eqnaL as food, clothing and dwelling improve, the life of man is lengthened, as a general rule; and in conse- auenoe of improvements in these respects, le death rate is becoming graluully les^ tn England. It is now estimated at 1 death annuiuly to 47 living persons. In 183U, It was lto46. In the U. States, by the censusesof 1850 and 186UL It Is placed at 1 to 79, as the mean ratio for the entire Union. And in Dalcotah Ter- ritory, very recently settled, it is given as 1 death to 12UV living persons ? Regular records of mortality were care- fhllykei'tby the French Clergy in ii. CanHda Mrom 16(15 to 1759, for the eniiro community, (they are still kept for their own people,) and the mean of them all for these 94 years was very nearly 1 death annually to 60 living persons ; and certainly L. Canada is a much healthier rexion of this continent than the U. States, taken as a whole. But to do them Justice, the compilers of the census oflStii) state, that even in sober New Eng- land, the estimated rate is unreliable. As no regular bills of mortality are kept in Oanuu, except those already n^entloned, no reliable death ratPi can l>e given for the i>o- minion. From its geograuhioal position, however, the climate of the entire region is much mr)re condu<^lve to longevity than that of the great Republic south < tf us, which extends to the borders of the torrid zone. OntMriohas recently enacted a Registra- tion >aw ; but its value, so tar, may be estim- ated from the following fhct : the Report for IB71 gives 111 births and 40 deaths tor the entire city of Ottawa, for that year; (popula- tion 21,64& ) while the well kept books of the Catholic Onurch alone give 618 births and iV4 deaths for the same year I Sometlilng should certainly be done to remedy an evil so serious as this, and to se- oure for the Ociminlon a uniform and reliable Beglstratlon law, and its efficient enforce- mentiHothatallliindsofstatliUosoould be collected annually, as in En^ni. And It Is gratiiying to and, from the Report ]ust published, that the fl<>n. Mr. Pope, the pre- sent Minister of Aurlcuiiure, iniendsto or> g tnlze the proper Instrumentalities lor this very Important work. BBITISH CHNSU& To prepare for taking the late British census, England and wales were divided Into 3!L6')6 districts, each of which averaged about 1] square miles ; and to each of these an Enumerator wa 4 appointed. Including Registrars, there were altogether 85,430 local officers engaged in the work. Each Enu^ merator recorded, on an average, ttM names. The enquiries were restrlctea m the social status of tne population, and were all re- c >rded in 7 columns, on a single page, smaller than fooiscap. The labor of taking the census is thus lightened, because in Great Britain, all others statistics are taken annually; whereas in Canada and theU. States, them-ilUtudinous "other statistics" are collected only in the decennial years, and with the e matit. This fact, together with the immnuseexteni. of coimtry to be can vassed, will fully account for tne longer time required to prepare the results for publication in the latter countries. CANADIAN OBNSUS. Before commencing the late census, the four ProviuceH then constituting the Domin- ion were divided Into 2iM districts, with a OommiiK loner for each, aud these again Into 2.936 smaller dlvLaions, to which SLTW Enumerators were appointed; all wtuclL together with 13 staff officers, constituted a body of SUM persons engaged In ooileottng the statistics of the census of 1871 . To guara against the temptation to exaggeration, such as existed in 1861, (when i>aym>ent was made in proportion to tbe numlier of names in the schedule) each Entmierator's claim for remune aiion Involved the number of families whose names were enrolled, the number of miles travelled, and the number ot days spent in the work, all of which were carefull,v Invesiigated beiore payment was made. The Enumerators commenced their work on the third day of April, 1871, and the usual abstract of the entire populatio'i was published in an extra ot tbe Canada Otuette, on the 22i:d day of November, in the same year ; ihat is, in tevenmonthi and aJuiVfom the day of commencing. The United States census was commenced on the first day of June, 1870, and the lint abs tract ot the general population that ap- peared In any of our Canadian newspapeis, was In •tept mber, 1871 : that is, more than fljietn months and a half alter tbe work was CO i.menced. iuls. It will be notlc«'d, was double tbe time taken for a similar abstract of the Dominion census, although the systems were i>recisely the sam«> m botli cases, i. *. thesysiem dejur*, which Is that followed in Sweden, Prance and some parts of Qermany . As stated In the beginning of this article, the French popu.atlon of Lower Canada in 1698 was lS,81Sk and that of 17Mwaa 56^000. After carefully Interpolating and, at tbe same time, taking into consideration the numerous intervening oensoses, the mtan annual increase during these W yean la found to have been over 3M per oent< During this comparatively lODg period it is well known that tlMr* WM very.Uttls im- WSfOm:jAXD MJAAVAV dr «A«AIX4 ivk IWI.

This high ratio or Increase, being Irrespective or immigration, is probably without a parallel in modern times ^ and being based on authentic records, it fur- Dlahes perhaps the most reliable datum in the history of any country, for.solvlne a verylnterestlng problem, viz.: to determine the natural Inoreatte of an IsolatKl com- munity, under fovorable circumstances, and foriilong number of consecutive yi ars. The Immigrants to this country frtim the British Isles are chiefly of the vigorous, working classes: and these, when well kept. are found. In all countries, to be the most prolliio portion of th^ community. Yet those best acquainted with them In Canada will probably admit, that. In this respect, they do not nilly equal the French Cana- dians. In this country, however, their wants .are generally well supplied; and It Is, therefore, quite safe to place their natural Increase at 2 percent, per annum; and fUlly as safe, to regard the annual ratio of Increase of our native and flxed population, who have all the comforts of lire in abundance, at 1.60 per cent, per annum, when that of England and Wales is 1.36 per cent. And now assuming these ratios for both classes ofour people, and also tha' the im- migration reports atnoe 1851 are approxima- tely correct, let us try to determine the population which Ontario should have, flrst In 1861, and then In 1871. The census of 1862 (for It was taken In that year) gave us 9S^004 persons. These, estimated at 1.5 per cent per annum, would amount to 1,U88,- 511, in nine years; and the 207,900 immi- grants of these nine years, reckoned at 2 per cent and according tr> the respective num- ber of years after their arrivalln the pro- noe, would amount to 22^,617, making a tal of 1,317,000 persons In 1S61 . The census of that year however was 1,396,091, which exceeds tne number thus found by 79,000. There are good reasons for believing that the census of 1861 was very inarcitrately taken, and was considerably in oxcess of the truth. A great part ofour largo lumbering popula- tion. Is how known* t(» have been taken _ both In the forests and also at their proper homes. The Enumerators were paid a cer- tain sum for every name or every 100 uames In their books, which tended directly to ex- ags<'i(tttion ; and there were various other sources of error, ail which lead to the belief, that the numbers given for 1861 were very much In excess of the actual facts, fully to the extent of 79,000, If not more . This esti- mate Is corroborated by the results of the municipal census taken In Montreal last winter, and In other places, to prove that of the Dominion too small. The disap- pointing results of that trial compelled some TO the leading Journals of that city to admit, that the census of 1861 must have been too great. .This was in another pro- vince, it Is true, but that only proves that the excess was not conflned to one portion of Canada. Assuming now this excels of 79,000 to have been a fkot, thA census of Ontario should bave been 1,817,000 instead of 1,896,000^ us glTtn tor that year; and after making this reduction, the decennial Increase, compared with 888,810, the population of 1861 (952,004 was the census for 1862) was 48.18 per oent.. while that for the correspondlngd eoennlad in the United States was only 8632; although the Immigration during these ten years was 1,347,276 In excess of that of any preceding dfecennlad ! The estimated txoeu for Onta- rio, as given above, Is, therefore, probably too small, and a similar reduction should be m'-ule in the census of 1S62 to reach the actual truth. Let us next compute both this corrected number for 1861 and the 189,000 Immigrants who are reported to have come to CJanada since the latter date, in the same manner and at the same ratios as for the preceding decade, and we shall flnd as the sam <« both classes, 1,73&607. The late census gives for t tntario, 1,620,861. This shows ade- flciency of nearly 116,000. Let us enquire whether this deficiency can be Mtly ac- counted for. Those who lived In Ontario between 1860 and 1860 will remember, that all our railways were built during that time; money was abundant, and labour of all kinds In great demand ; and. In consequence, the Immi- grants who came remained In the country, But between 1860 and 187<^ the circum- stances were simply reversed ; no public works were constructed; there was much reaction from speculation during the pros- perous period of our railways and the Cri- mean war ; there was little demand for mechanic < or other workers ; the Curmers, and Indeed all classes, though well to do^ keenly felt these lnflU'3noe«; and ourpoUU- cal aflalrs, for some years preceding Confe- deration, were not at all In a satlsfiustory or encouraging state. Under these adverse olrcumslanoes, it Is not reasonable to suppose that a very large proporti n of tne 189^000 Immigrants who were reported to have come to Canada during these ten years, became permanent settlers in Ontario. (Comparatively few from the British Isles at that time remained in the Province of Quebec.) They soon crossed over to the U. 8. in large num- bers, where, at that period, fistr better pros- pectH presented themselves to meet their necessities. And this emigration of our im- migrants would account for a great part of the estimated deflcienoy of 116,000. But there was a much greater drain upon our populxtloQ than this; during th«> Amer- ican war, very manv of our people went to that country; (the American authorities sav that more than 30,000, flrom all the Pro- vinces, entered their armies) and after Its termination, wu all remember that there was an extensive flow of emigration ftom Ontario to tne Western States, in oonse-< quence ctiiefly of political unsett'edness at home, and of better prospects, at that time, In the neighbouring Republic. The flrst volume of^ the United States cen i us for 1870, lately published, shown that large numbers emigrated flrom Canada, during the period now under consideration, and tnus fully sustains the position as- sumed in this paper as to the numbers that must have left us between 1860 and 1870. The number is more than 116,000l Could the circumstances which Induced the depressing events of these years have been prevented, Ontario would bave had a population of not less than l,787|O0O; when her last census was taken. TMa number would give her a decimal ratio oK upwards of 24 per cent, even on the over YMMM mVtOWL AMD AMJtAKMJd OW CfAV40A iWflillft. ^ 1^ u 1 r 1 ':^i . ► 1- :| >:', *lf 1 > Hi • i^i :i i It?: 108 CsfMM. •■tlmated oenaw of 1861 ; while thnt of oar ■oathern nelghboon, notwltbsUmdlng the onparalled Immlgrauon to thatoountry,and ft)Mthe Author ftust, that there was no emt- graUon fmm U, was only 22 per cent.

And auoh have already been the happy re«nltf<. that emigration to the United States has probably ceased altogether. We hoar of no other emigra- tion now than of that to Manitoba and onr neat North West. There ia no country in the world that presents to the European emigrant liner proHpects than the Dominion or Canada, with lier millions of acres of the most fertile an l cheap lands, a healthy oUmate, an unprecedented demand for labor of all kinds, tind high wages, together with institutions and laws that are Just, reapeoted and obeyed. The trying experiences through which we have paased should prepare us for esti- mating, at their proper value, the bright inoapeots that now lie before us— as the un- disputed nosseesors of half a continent ; and It is oonfldently hoped that, with the pre- sent vigoroas policy of our several Emigra- tioa Bureaus, the census of 1881 will show the moat satlsllMstory results. COMPARISON WITH THE MUNICIPAL CENSUS. Am an addition to the 'article of Mr. B[ingstnn the subloined comparison of the populatlo*: as shown by the Census taken by the Dominion Oovemment in 1871 and that taken by the municipalities of the Provinoe of Ontario in the same year may be found interesting. The Census taken by the Oovemment shows almost uniformly larger figures than that taken by the municipalities. This re- sult, ml^t of course, be looked for flrom the greater thoroughness with which the Dominion Censns was taken. But it is to be remarked tliat the municipalities have no interest to understate their population: vaA this ftot and the comparison afforded are well worth the consideration of those who held extravagant anticipations, and ton d themselves dlsappotnted by the truth which was revealed by the figures of the Cennuof 187L The Census taken by the Municipalities baa been held to be, in the several localities, an apintnlmately oorrect statement of the population; and comparisons which have made, in many places, between it and the Dominion Census, have quite dispelled Im- prewions, at one time entertained, that the enumeration of the latter was Imperfect.

There were 284 itudenu in the then normal schools against h7 in 1868 and 210 in 1867. Altogether these tiave issued 83 diplomas to teachers of aca- lemies, 539 to teachera of model sohoolH, and r21 to teachers of common or elementary lohools— in all 1346 in 12 years. In the Unl- Pversities and several colleges as well as the {normal schools, lectures on agrtcultive are jgiveu, and two schools of agriculture have been in operation. Home of thr colleges, notably that of Masbon at Terrebonne, Have devoted a largo part of their resources to complete courses of instruction in oom- oaercial pursuits ; and academies for the jurpose have been founded by the Commls- itouei s In Montreal and Quebec. Schools of Design Ac. are in operation in those cities, and a Model Farm with school of agrlcul- lure Is in course of preparation and organiza- tion. A technologtcal school is attached to McGiU University and others are in con- templation. Altogether the progress in both the larger Provinces, seems to be rather in improving voluntary system seems to lave been well-nigh reached ; and the results tf the experiment lu Outailo of the compul- ory system have not yet been ascertained.

This Increase Is altogether sreater than the mast sanguine anticipated, before that event took elaoe. In 1866-67 the totai trade amounted > 194,791,860; in 1871-72 it reached $194,070,- 190; ahowing that the voiuiue of trade had more than Rubied within the period. For the purpose of comparison we repeat the figures showing the total trade for the two last decenniads :— Years.

" Looking at the two chief coimtileB with which the great bulk of Canadian trade is carried on— Oreat Britain and the United States— we find that the value of goods entered for consumption from the former, has Increasedlfrora $38^95,433, inil869-7a to 149,168,170, inl870.71, or about 27.40|o, and that the amount entered for Consumption, trom the latter (the United States) (luring the same periods respectively, was $21,728,- IWJ (1869-70), and $29,(KB,887 (1870-7lT, or an increase of 17.8°|o. The value of our Exports toQreat Britain, has. however, somewhat decreased, the Returns of 1880-70, showing t 24,950,026, and of 1870-71, $21,173,221. Our •xports to the Unite^I States have a1.»o de- creased,, the value stated la the Returns for 1869-70, being S32,984,^•52, and for 1870-71, $30,07S,6i3, leHving still an increase of Ex- ports to the United States over Imports hwm that country of nearly $2,000,000. " With the British West ladies the aggre- s^te amount of the trade In Imports and Exports last year, has increased on the antecedent year by $518 671, but this in- crease is entirely In our own Exports to those Islands, and British Qnlana. The Import tr«>4e with the Spanish West Indies, which in 1860-70 amountetl to $2,42,% 421, sutfered a reduction in 1870-71 to $2,018,930. The Ex- ports to Cuba, however, show an increase Irom $1,280,268 to $1,498,851." 8HIPPINO RETURNS. The Shipping Returns exhibit a consider- able increase in the tonnage, boih British and Foreign, engaged in Ihu carrying trade with couutiies onteide of the Dominion, both by^sea and upon our inlanri waters, the total tonnage so employed being for the last two years as follows :— Inwards.

The period covered by the re- turns however, covers the last half only of the fiscal year 1870-71. The tarlfi' under which the Customs duties are at present collected, is that which existed at the time of the organization of that section of the country into a Province, and the rates of which are much below those imposed ty tlie general Tarltt' of the Dominion. The value of goods imported into and entered for Consumption during the six months re- ferred to, i. ft, from 1st January to 30th June, 1871, is $286,H37, and the amount of duties collected, $17,723.

Quebec 60-26 " Nova Scotia 11-32 " New Brunswick 10-2*2 " " The gross amount of tlie Customs' duties collected in Canada, for the twelve months ending 3()th June, 1871, compared with collections of the twelve months ending .3()th June, 1870, shows an lucreose of up- wards of 25J per cent., in the former, over the latter period." It should be remarked that a very large portion of the duties collected In the Pro- vince of Quebec (principally at the port of Montreal) is upon goods consumed in ail I part« of the Dominion..

Tnx ttTANOABD is one of the oldest and most extensive Institutions existing in Great Britain tar the Assoranee of Lives. It was cstabUsbed in Edinburgh In 1835^ and lU pro- gress has been most successful. The Funds, Invested chiefly in Mortages on the secwity tit Land, amount to Four Mili-iomb Sterling (jC19,500^000), and iU income at this date (ISW) ezeeeds jCTOUiOOO, or over $8,400. 00) per annum. Thx Ratbs of tub Cohpant, whioh have been calculated on data derived from the most authentic sourees, will be found moderate; and, looking to the ibolliUee and ad> vantages affbrded, they are undoubtedly more advantageous and less expensive than tbnae of any other Ofllee transacting the Bam« class of business. The OxNERAii RbouIiATioits and conditions of the Company's policies have been fhimed with much care, with the view of making them available securities of the most perfret kind, and of allowing as much Ireedom to the Policy holder as may be safely granted.

As an example of the success of the Standard Cobipant, it may be stated that a Policy opened in May, 1817, was increased in value in 1870 to ^£1,806 Sterling. Those who do not wish to add the amount of the Bonus to the Sum Assured are per- mitted to take the value of the addition in a present sum or apply its value to the reduo- Uon of the Annual Premium for five yeai:^.

No Policy of Fivb Years' Duration shall be liable to any ground of challenge whatever, connected with the original documents on which the Assurance was grantr.d but the sum assured shall, subject to the payment of premiums, and extra premiums. U any, be payable In terms of the Policy, after proof of death to the satisfaction of the Direotora.
