The collection of" Letters from Su.tsox Emigrants" recently printed at Petivorth, (fives a complete sei'ies to the end of the year 181^2; and as other letters from Emigrants are continually arriving, copies ofvjhich are eagerly sought after, it is intended to publish, from time to tinic, in numbers containing about 8 pages each, i,uc7i letters, or extracts of letters, as may appear most interest- ing. To which will be added, various other articles of informufion connected, nnth the suhject. A small work has In^en recently published, entitled " Extracts from Authentic Letters from Upper Canada," edited by The Rev. T. Radcliff* which is strongly recommended to the perusal of all who are thinking of emigrating, "^'^he following passages are here given as being peculiarly interesting to those who have friends already settled in Adelaide. Pac^e 24. — A ti^entleman with a family, may fix him- self o!» his iifw estate in any part of Upper Canada for Jf421. 17». viz. £ s d Total cost from Liverpool to Settlement . . 1 35 Purchase of land 100 Building house and offices 85 Clenring 10 acres 35 Articles oi furniture 12 Seed Wheat 350 Two Cows 600 One Horse 13 Oxen and waggon, yoke and chains . . . . 27 Tools .. .. ..' 5 12 421 17 And supposing him to have altogether, a capital ©f j£1000, he may lodge the remainder at York, in bank stock, at 12 per cent j and if he takes out Ihia capital in gold, (which he An Irish Clergyman. *i oujjfht to do) lu'will be allowed froinM to 4 shillliif^s, accent-' ing to the rate of exchange at the tiir.e, on every sovereign.* Piige 28. — No single man shotili think of supplying his own provisions for the -voyage : lie cannot inspect the dress- ing of them : should he clul) with a family of strangers, pro- riding theirs, lie wiW find, when about to land, a mujh greater diminution of his stock than he had atiticipated. What is considered a 67«'«/> passage, should be avoided, by those who are not greatly straightened in means, as it usuall} proves the dcarsst in the end. Paije 49 h 50. — The editor's sons emiyfrated in May lH.'i2, and are already established with their fan\ilies, upon property of their own purchasing, and in houses of their own building; if not in all the comfort to which they had been accustomed, yet in the enjoyment of productive industry, with the pros- pect of unceasing independence : they preferred a remote, uncleared, and uninhabited forest, in which their wives were c^he two first European females, that ever set their feet ; and their houses (with that of their physician and friend) the first that were erected, in the new township of Adelaide, in the London district. In a letter of the 16th. of December, they mention that the township of Adelaide is settling so fast, they fear there may not be lots remaining for relatives and friends, whom they expect, and who are anxious to fix themselves this year, in their vicinity. Page 51. — An excellent clergyman has been appointed, and a newly built school Iiduso is used as a temporary place of worship, till the ensuing snunner, when a permanent and commodious church is to be i rccted. Page 62. — I must particularly mark the error of those who bring out their own provisions : by so doing you are excluded from the attention of the captain, or his steward, the only persons capable of affording any. Your own senants are a biu'den to you: your stores useless, while you are sick ; and beiore you are well, either spoiled or stolen. * No adrantagc is gained hy iak'mfr out ^old instead of billa, as the Mme allowauce is ina«ie mi ihc latter, and much rink is avoidc-d. I sent out a bill . in January last, Oh th« Canada Comjjany's Connni«sioner» at York, Upper Can:i«(u, for £25. for wliiuh theperiton, iu whose favor it was drawn, reveived £'M. 10s. curreuc}'. T. S. \^f-f^-:^9. — Physicians are verj^ much wanting here, and apothecaries still more. Ignorant persons act in that capa- city, who scarcely know the names of the drugs they sell. At Niagara, that most neces.sary branch is solely conducted by a female, who compounds medicines and puddings, M'itli equal confidence, but not with e(iual skill. Any young nuin, who should come out in that capacity, with even a moderate knowledge of hiis business, would make his fortune. Nurse-tenders are In great demand. They might make tlieir own terms. Page 1 2(). — 0«r divisions adjoin that which is laid out for tfie town. When that comes to be built (and it is said, it will be completed in three years) the \alue of our property will be obviously enhanced. Page 127. — Our fellow travellers, Phillips and Groom, have settled themselves beside us. T\\& former, as resident physician, has got the grant of a town lot to build upon. How lucky to have such a man in the midst of us ] The influx of emigrants to our pn)vince of Upper Canada has been such, that in the last year, the population is said to have increased one-fourth ; and in this season, fully .u* ninch iti expect-ed. . Page 129. — All the old people say, that the country rises more now in one year, than it did before in fifty. I'pon the whole, then, 1 cannot see any risk the prudent and industri- ous farmer can be subject to, who pays no rent, has plenty to subsist him, with a ready nuu'ket, and good price tor the overplus. AdclMuh', Dfc. 1832. Page 151. — We are now, thank God, in perfect health, o\ir spirits begirning to revive, and absolutelj- enjoying, if not a luxurious, at least, a i omfortable residence iu our ovn /o(/-hoiise — the timber of a\ Inch, three months ago, displayed their Kafy honours in the vild forest, it consists of a cellar, thr«e rooms, and a small store room, in the principal story, mid two bed rooms in the roof, or rxp', as the Cana- dians term it. The edifice is thirty feet by twenty live, from out to ont. For the five rooms we have three tlues, and two stoves, and mean to be very sini^ and warm. When perfeetly finished, the whole exi>enditure will be about Jt^lii). Halifax currency, or £25. British. Page 151. — My lot is beautifully undulated. A creek, or small river winding nearly through its entire lengtli, between rich ,flatSy as they are here called : is bounded on each side, at sonie distance by high banks^ upon which I am leaving a belt of ornamental timber, which swells with the form of the hills, and is, in general, about one hundred yards in depth. Between those banks and the river, all trees are to be re- moved, except a few nuiples. Page 153. — ^The quality of the timber denotes the richness of the soil. Ours consists of maple, beech, butternut, elm, white ash, hornbeam, a sprinkling of oak, and some cherry and bass wood ; all indicating a prime soil, and with great correctness, as I find it to be, in surface, five inches of black vegetable mould, over a few inches of clay loam, with a sub- stratum of strong clay; and almost all my land, of this de- scription, is an extended level of wheat soil, without the least uneveness. Page 15G. — Till this last week, the weather has been de- lightful. I have been occupied in getting as many acres aa 1 can cleared, and prepared for crop])ing. I'agc 165. — It costs a good deal tor a family to come out; but the Emigrant Society in Canada, will forward any who apply to them, and find their o\\ n provisions, free of expense, to York ; and from thence, the (iovernment will send them on in schooners, supplying them with rations ; and when they arrive near the lots to be distributed, they will have their goods conveyed in Maggons, tree of cxpence, also. 1 his is peculiarly advantageous to the poorer emigrants ; and even the rich can have their luggage carried free, from York, by an order from the (jloverimient. Page 184. — Desire all friends who come out, to bring delft, but not glass; as tlie latter is as cheap here, as the for- mer is extravagant in price: also, hardwiire of the necessary kinds, and spades and shovels, which are ill constructed in this country, l)ut above all a hay knife ; here they cut their hay with an axe, and 1 may say, lio almost every thing with that imiverml implement. Page 18/. — I^et my l)r(;tlirr John know that clergymen are in guat deuuind : had he been here, he would probably i»«fi;HW have boi'ii appoiiiUsl to the recto- y of tills f;i',VMshi|). I am iiifoniu'il, tlwit the governor has thirty clerical situations tu fill up.

NoM' if any (»f you conies out this season, bring nie a little crop grass seed, su'cdo turnip, and stone turnip seed, mangel wnr/.el seed, carrot and oniou seed, and all kinds of working tools, and beilding, and clothing. Now if David or William would come out here, it r;ould be uuich better for them, than to bide starving in l^iUglaiul. Dear mother, we have got a log house, U) feet by 22, covered over with boards, but the house is not finished, the floor is not laid, nor the chimney built yet : but we make shift to li\ e in it. We can make our own sugar and soap, and starch, and I buy the deer's fat of the Indians, to nuike my own camlles, which is generally one shilling a pimiul ; and I bake my bread in the iron pot, with a leaven which I keep from one time to another. Dear mother, Charles Boxall was drowned at Mon- treal, through getting drunk : he fell overboard, down be- tween the ships, and was never seen more, although two men jumped overboard to save him. We have heard that William Barnes died at York, and left a wife aiul four children ; and llapley died htTC, and left eight orphan children ; but Go- vernment rinds them in provisions. I intended to have taken one of the little girls, but it have not been convenient ; but 1 Bball take her in the summer. Dear mother, there is plenty wolves here, they makes a terrible noise in the night time, but we can never see any of them : all the bears are laid up now. Here is plenty of black squirrels here, th.'y make a very nice pudding ; and turkeys, and deer, and foxes, and partridges, and racoons, and porcupines, and ground liogs, and eagles, and owls, which makes a dismal noise in the night, and humming birds, the most beautiful in [the] world ; and 5 or G sorts of woodpeckers, very handsome ; and the night hawk, which sings. Whip poor Will, as plain as you can speak. Give my kind love to Mrs. Henly, and tell her I sliould have wrote to her, but letters are very expensive : we pay 3 shillings and six pence each for them. Dear mother, when you write, ht us know what you pay for a Utter; and how Mrs. lleuly and family is. The next time I write it will be to my sisters ; I shall desire th«m to send to you 8 hnr/rdialt'ly. Give our kind lore to my brothers^ and sis- ters, and nephews, and accept the same yourself.
