'i OBSERVATIONS ON PROGNOSTICATIONS OV THE WEATHER. BT THE REV. ADAM CL.'.RKEJ L. L. D. F. ▲. B. T From my ea'licst cliildiood I was brought up on a little furm, wliich I way taught to cue for and cultivate ever since I was able to spring llio r;i',llo, or the whip, manage tlic t-icivle, ur handle the sjKide, and as I found that nmch of our success depends on a prujjcr knowlecgo and management of the weuihor, I was led to study it ever since I wa-: ciglit years ot ago. I believe Meteor, ology is a natural ficience. arid one of llie lirst that is stu. died ; anu that every child in the country makes, untaught, Bomo progress in it; at lea.st s*) it \\as with me. I bad Actually learned, by silent ob'-crvation, to form good con- jectures conc(-rnir,g the coming weather; and on this bead, to teach wisdom am )ng those wh) were perfect, especially among such as had not beou obliged like mo to watch earnestly, that what was so nc^cos ary to ihe Jamily tupportf should not bo spoiled by tho wi;ather before it wa« housed. Many a time, even in lender youth, have I 11 watclied the heavens witli anxiety, cxainineJ llio differonl appGarancos of the momiri}^ iind evenirij^ sun, tie phases of the moon, the scinlilhitiDn of the stirj, tiie coursa and colour of the clouds, the llij^fhtoi Iho crow and the swal. low, the gambols of the cult, tiio (luUennjxs of the ducke, and tiie loud scro.niis of tiio foiiiuow — nol f'jr^etlinjj oven the hue and crcakinj^ of tJK' f»**»^^' From tiic little know, ledgo I had derived from close ubs':rv:ili:n, I often ven- turod to direct our aijriculLural opeialiona in rcfcrenco to the coming days, and was seldom iijU(;h mii^taken in my reckoning. When I th;'Uu[l>t I h;id a i>rei'y good stock of knowledge and cxporioncc in tliis way, I ventured to give counsel to uiy neijrlibinirs. Fo • my kindness, or perhaps my oflicit/usness on tills hjad, I met one day with a mortifying rchuif. 1 was about ten years of age ; it was iiarvest time, and " what sort, of a day to-morrow would he," was the yihjoct of conversaiion To a very intelligent gentleman who was projcnt, I slated in opposi- tion to his own opiniosis, ** Mr. IJ. to-morrow will bo a. foul dayV To which ho answered — " Adarr, how can you tell?*' I answered without givinjr the rule on which my prognostication was ft)Ui;ded, *'OSir, 1 know it will bo so " * You know! how should you know?" '•Why, Bir," I pleasantly replied, " bocau c I am weather wise.** ** Fes," said he, ^'■or other ich'e.*^ The next day, however, proved that my augury v/as well drawn. About twiMity years a^^o, a table, purporting to bo the work of the late Dr. lleischoll, was variously published, professing to form prognostics of the weather, by the times of the change, fall, and quarters of the moon. — I hrvc carefully consulted this tabic for severiil years, and was amazed at its general accuracy; for though long, as you have scon, engag- <1 in the study of the weather, I never thought that any rules could be <'cvised, liable to so few exceptions. I have made a little alteration io the arrangements, and illustrated it with further obsar* ▼atioDS. U y u A TABLE, Wor foretelling the f Feather through all tkt Lwidtions of each Year, forever.

M SAINT !)AVI1).— The Webb regard St. David as their tutelar Koint, aiuIaMnuaHy hold fesiivc meclinird oil this day. In 010 t!ie Hrilojis, under Kiifj^ (Jadwalla. ,]or, obtained a coniplele victory over the ^-jaxons ; and St. David is eonsidcreil not only to have contributed lo vhis victory by Ins prayer-', but by the judicious regula- tions which he adopted for renderini^ the JJritons Known to eacii oilier. He directed the Wehsh to wear leeks in tlieir cups, drawn from a «;irden near the field of action ; while tlie Saxoui--, fioin a want of some disLinf^uishiui: mark, fixquently nii.-itook each otiier, almost indiscrimi- nately slayinrf Iriends and foos?. Hence tlie custom of i.he VVelsli wearing leeks in their hats on St. David's day. Ht. David was descended from the Royal Family of the Uritons, bomnruntle of Kiiifj Arthur, and son of Xantur, ?'rince of Ccrotieu, nov/ Cardiganshire. Ijeing ordaiu. ed Priest, he retired into the Islo Dt Wight, and eIx!Jra^^ (;ed an acetic life. He founded twelve monasteries lA wh'ch was in the vale of Uos?, near Menerva, one now callC'l. St. David'.-'. Soon afterwards, the Archbisliop of Cacileon re:rigned his see to St. David, who^e opposit ion w ag only t»ver(:onie by the absolute commands of the ev- nod. He had, however, the liberty to transfer bis seo ffom Caerleon, then a populous city, to IMinerva.

Of those proservt d in Britain, none of the Iciist romarkabl' or ludicrous, is that of making" April Fools^ as it is calkd, ( n t!io first re?s tiiat: lie was the Messiah. The iVfasj c{ Christ, as ori^nnally nsed by the Church, implied solely the festival celebrated. From the various alterations in the Roman Calendar, arose the accuracy that certainly pr vinU, in keeping the day of our Lord's nfiliviiy, which did not take place on tJie 25' h December, but at the time the Jews kept their Feast of Tabeniaclepi. The fn-st Christians kept (ho Nativity on the first of Jaiiuarv, conrorinino- in this compulation to tho Roman year. On the Fkast of Tab'-rnacles, they decoratt'd iliCir Church' s with g.cen boui^I s, ad a memorial thai Christ waaactunlly bom at that time. The cn.-toiu of ornamenting churches and houses with fvergreeus at Chiistm.is, is bLiII pretty gcuerdlly obser- ved. The now almost obsolete custom of making presenfa at this seasor^, uiidcr the title of Ciiristmas I3,.'Xes, arose from the custom of a boxdevrted to every ship which sailed on a voyi.^r.r boing deposited with -x priest, intc •vhich money m n;ht be dropped Lo give etlicacy to the {^' 4^ prnyers of the Church, ami these bcxes being oponcd ac yhrislmas in each year, tliencc acquired the name of Christmas Boxes. This in process of time, became tho familiar name of Presents themselves, and the poorer classes were encouraged to beg of their richer neighbours Box Money, or in other words, money to sup- ply the Priest's box. The ancient salutation of A Merry Chriatmns, like that of A tiappy Now Year, adverted to the hospitality of ihe r jh whose s|mcious Hall*, crowded with tenants and neighbours, were scenes of boundless hospitality. " Round about our coal fire^^* thoy were regaled with the mOot substantial fare thf? season could afford. The first dish WIS generally a lioAUs Head, and sometimes a Gammon of Kacon. The Boar's Head is yet served upon Christmas Day at Queen's College, Oxford — where it is solemnly ushered into the Hall with a Monkish Carol. Both these dishes were meant to express an abhorrence of Judaism. Pl^m Puddings were emblematical, t'rom their in- ^reilien!9, of the dffuringi; to tlio wise men ; and rninco Pies H-it!i pieces of paste over thorn in the form of a rratch or i)ay r^ck, cotnniemorated tho manofer in which our Saviour was first, laid. A composition of Ale, Su- gar, Nu'mcf.% &:,c., cnllod fiTuil/s Wool, passed jovial iy from hand to iiand in the WnssaiU IjmwI, the name given to tiie vessci out of which the Hixoii c( lonists in Britain took such copious draughts, as even to call for legisia tive interforence. WM^sall is a corruption of the words VVae.s Heal, Bcvfhcnllh. When Hengist and Horsa first visited Britain at the policitation of Vortigrrn princo (»f the rfihircs, tho Bri- tish chirf became oufur.oured of Uowcria, the niece of Hongiot, f,t a Binqu't prepared by the stranger in honor of Vortiirern, tlie l^incess, instructed by hor Un- cle, prcjcnted to the ng' d Prince a cup ol spicod wine, and with a srni!o welcomed him m the worils, * Waes Heal, Halford Cyning/or U? of Jicalih^ Lord Kinq, to which, through liK? interprotcr, he ausvvercd, 'brine IJ'ff " ' "■>/'1 I: i 11 y 44 Heal,' or I drink your health. The event is narrated by Robert of Gloucobter, but as the vocabulary of lliis an- cient Rhymer may not be intelligible generally to Our readers, we shall prefer the more modern paraphrase in the Antiquarian Repertory. "Health, my Lord Kins:, the sweet Rowcna said ; Health, cried the Cliieitain to the Saxon Maid ; Then gaily rose and 'mid the concourse wide Kissed her halo lips, and placed her by his side. At the soft scene such genlle thoui^hts abound, That healths and kisses 'mongst tlie guests went round ; From this the social custom took its rise, Wo still retain, and still must keep the prize.

Subsequent experience has proved the wisdom of, his choice. Champlain says that Quebec was the Indian-- name of the place. ** Trouvant un lieu 'e plus estroit de nviere, que les hQ!)itants du pays appellant Quebec, j'y bastir ct odifior une habitation, et do frichtor des terres, et t'aire quelqucs jardinagos." 16 12— Tho ICnglish cobny in Conception Bay, New- foundland, this year consisted of 54 men, 6 women, and 2 children. iCil — This year Acadia first received the name of Nova Sr.oiifi, its wlnle territory being granted by tiiat name to Sir Wm.

Charlevoix thinks nothing could have been better planned; and that Franco would have been the most powerful colony in America, had Uio execution been aubwerable to the design, U).30 — A commission having been given by Charles I. to David Kertk, and his valiant kinsmen, to conquer the A- merican Dominions of France, Kertk had attacked Canada iuJiily, l628, and still carried on his military opcr&tionn with vigour. Louia and Thomas Kertk, appearing &n;ain at this time oil' Point Levi, sent an ofHcer on bhuro to Quebec, to summon the city to surrender; Champlain, then in command, knowing his means to be inadequate to a defence, surrendered the city by capitulation. The terms of tliis capitulation were very favourable to tho French co- lony ; and they were so punctually and honourably fulfilled by tho English, that tho greater part of tho French chose to remain with their captors, rather than go, us had been Ktirmlaled, to France. *' Thus was tho capitil of Ne-u? /' -ucc bubducd by tho arms of England, jubt one imndred '^^ jli n « ; •'!

It consisted of 1,000 foot, a great number of families, numerous mechanics, hired servants, horses, (the first ever seen in Canada) cattle and sheep, v\ere brought to this country at the same time. Tha 100 asflociatos in whom the property of the Colony was vested, had grown weary of tho expense of maintaining their colo- ny and from the year 1644 abandoned ihe Fur Trade to tho inhabitants, reserving to themselves, as their right of lord, ship, an annual payment of 1,000 Beavers. Reduced at length to the number of 45 associates, they made a total resignation of all their rights, 1662, to the Fiench King, who soon afterwards included New Franco in the grant which he made of the French Colonies in America, in fa- vour of the West India Company formed by the great Col. bert. 1666 — The Mohawks.having greatly annoyed the French, were attacked this year by a French army of 23. companies of foot and the whole militia of the Colony. This formi- dable body of troops marched upwards of 700 miles, in the depth of winter, from Quebec into the cnuntry of the Mo- hawks.with a view of utterly destroying them ; but the In- dians retired, with their women and children, into tho depth of the woods, leaving only a £evr ancient Sachems in the villages, who chose rather to die than desert their habita- tions. These were murdered by the French, and their vil- lagos burnt; yet nothing of political importance was gained by this expedition, which was commanded by M. de Tracy in person, who was then upwards of 70 years old. 1667 — Peace was at length establitfked between tho French and the Five Nations, which continued for several years, i'i f..> i and they ( Frencii M ivestward us he wen 1670— i in the noi tribes, pai never sine Indian fu Trois Rivi at once. 1671—^ Canadian Mary ; wl of France 1672— T fort on th the model pretendinj of trade, \ 1673—' Ontario, 1 his own n i(imackipi Jolieti a ( discovery 17th of Ji journey o nada : th from the country c iards did 1G74— 1078— he also I in the ye Erie ; ab ground a 1680- discover} Canada, 1682- 57 and the}* cultivated a mutual trade.

TadouaaCf the chief mart oftho Indian fur trado with the French, was deserted, as also Trois Rivieres, where the small pox carried off 1500 Indians at once. 1671 — A grand Congress of the French, and of many Canadian Indians, was held this year at the Falls of St. Mary ; where the Indians professed submission to the King of France, in a formal n anner. 1672 — M. de Courcelles, Governor of Canada, built a fort on the north side of the outlet of Lake Ontario, (near the modern Kingston,) as a barrier against the Iroquois, pretending, however, that he merely intended it as a place of trade, and for their mutual accommodation. 1673 — The Count Frontenac completed the Fort on lake Ontario, begun last year by Courcelles, and called it after his own name. The French likewise built a fort at Mich- ijimackinac. Father Marquette, in company with one Joliet* a citizen of Quebec, employed by M. Talon, for the discovery of the Mississppi, entered that noble river on the 17th of June, and descended it to a point within three days journey of the Gulf of Mexico, when they returned to Ca- nada : the French had received information of this river from the Indians* Ferdinand de Soto had discovered the country on tho Mississippi 130 years before, but the Span, iards did not see ht to settle it. 1G71 — Quebec was made a Bishopric. 1678— M. de Sale re built the Fort Frontenac with stone: he also launched a Bark often tons on Lake Ontario, and in the year following (mother vessel of sixty tons on Lake Erie ; about this time he likewise enclosed a little spot of ground at Niagara with stockodes, intended for a Fort. 1680 — The Father Hennepin, with M.

In the next place, it appeared to them that there toas no probability of reconciling the jarring interests and \opp08ite views of the inhabitants, but by giving them two Lcgislatnres. It was conceived this form of Government was the best adapted to put an end to all tho difliculties of a legal sort, and to render the regulations more useful to the subjects of that country. Ho believed there was such a rooted opposition of interests of one des. cription and the other, that if there was a Constitution, it •■ ' .■ 1, P I w 1 1 '!Jlll (tonsiidting'ofiiHouiie of ABsembly, ili which th« partio* might bo nearly balanced, the con&equence at least for a long series of years, would be a great degree of animositj, and a great degree of confusion. It seemed to his Majesty's aervants the most desirablo thing, if they could not giT9 s&tisfaction to all descriptions of men, to divide the Fra« vltice, and to contrive that one division should consist, as, ' mixtik as possible, of those who were well inclined teward^ the English Laws, and that the other part should consist of a decided preponderancy of the ancient inhabitanti^' who were attached to the French Laws. It was intJpper Canada particularly, that they wore to expect a great ad- dition of English inhabitants. The consequeitce was, that if it was not divided from the rest, the Canadians, forming a majority of five to one, the grievance would be every year increasing, in pro['ortion as the population increased. It was intended to give a Free Constitution to Canada^, according to British ideas of Freedom. This could not be done without a divishn of the Provinces, to prevent the clashing of opposite intorests, which must otherwise ne. cessarily ensue. Many of the diffitultics and serious inconveniences, even at that time foreseen by Mr. Fox, as likely to arise from jftiis division of interests in the Canadas, have indeed boes actually experienced, (to such a degree on the part of Uppet Canada) as to render an appeal to the Imperial Parliament^ to re-unite the Provinces under one Legislature, necessary. This appeal has not yet been successful, owing, princii\^lly„ t^ the opposition raised by the Lower Canadians of Fr^ch origin. Better prospects may bo now reasonably apticipa te " .' January 1, 1839.

Wvieonsint Illinois^ Indiana^ Michigan^ Ohiot Pennfi^l- vamia. New York^ v'ermontt New Hampshire, the District of Maine, and by the British Province of New Bruoswick. Those boundaries describe a large and niagnificent portion of the globe we inhabit, large enough for the foundation of an Empire which may beeomo hereafter the arbitress of the destinies of the new world, embracing with her mighty arms the whole width of the ^reat continent of America. — * fn the year 16(K>, Labrador was atrangoly annoxpd to the Gorernm«nf of Newfoundland, though the 8ea wilicuntinuoto roll through the blraifht* of Uuili«l9 in doapite of artificial arian^emcuts, nad uonalural c«iin«i- iOM. h- il t ^ \ I ■ I 1 ■ \ ■ ■ ■ ' ■ > ■ 1 t ! ; il If V 72 Sdcured in her rear by the frozen regions of the north, and with Buch a front as sho possesses towards the south, it is impossible^but, with the adoption of wise and decisive mea- sures, she must be able hereafter to hold a far more poten . tial influence over the countries of the south, than waa ©- ver held by the Tartars (in their best days) over Asia ; or by (ho northern hordesof Europe, over the Empire of Rome, at the period of her overthrow. The foundation stone of this Empire has been laid by England, and it depends on tho wisdom of her councils, and on the loyalty, ambition, temper, skill, industry, bravery, high qualitiesj^and perse- Toranco of Canadians, no matter ofwhatorigm, how far tho fairy vision which is kindled up in fancy, may be roaU izpd. We have only to cast our eyes transiently over a map of North America to be immediately assured of the singularly advantagoous situation of the settled parts of Upper Canada — Seated like a gem in the bosom of a country that ia nei- ther scorched by the sultry summers of tho Bouth,nor blasted by the tardy, litter, biting, winters of the north ; surround, ed by the most magnificent Lakes, and possessing the most extensive internal navigation in the known world, it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to find, in any other region of the globe, a tract of country of the same magnitude with so many natural advantages, as that part of Upper Canada which lies between the Lakes Ontario, Erie, and Huron, and the Ottawa, or Grand River, nine.tenths of the whole extent of which are calculated for the exorcise of almost every description of agricultural labour, and with such a prospect of success as, perhaps, no other part of this conti neat could realize. A part of this tract of country, com. mencing in the neighbourhood of Kingston, and running westward nearly 500 miles to the Sandwich frontier, by a depth, northward, of from 40 to 100 miles, is, alone, oa. pable of supplying all Europe with grain ; besides being rich in cattie ; and producing silver, lead, copper, iron, lime, raarle, gypsum, marble, free stene, coal, salt, wool, hemp, and flax, (of the best quality) tobacco, and timber of every description ; besides furs, gamp, fish, and many other valuable productions.* •^It muflt bo understood that wo nro filways speaking of tho a ottlcd p«rtt of L^pper, Canada, unlosB specially inentioucd to iho contrary. +: 73 Much has bcon said, at a distance, against tho clim&(§ of this fino country. Those, however, who have removed to it from Great Britain, are agreeably disappointed in finding it more pleasant, (all things considered, than that which they have left, because it is neither so moist nor so unsettled. It might bo said, with no great impropriety,, that the presentf inhabitants of Canada have but two sea. sons — Summer and Winter — for Winter has no sooner disappeared, which generally happens by tho middle of April, than the whole animal and vegetable creation starts into renewed life with a rapidity and vigour that leaves the season of spring with such doubtful limits as to be scarcely perceptible, or deserving a specific character ; again, in the fall of the year, the months of September and October are generally so fine and summer like, and these being succeed- ed by what is aptly termed the Indian Summer, in Novem- ber, (that month which is so gloomy in England, and said to bo so fatal to Englishmen) that we should have great difficulty, were it not for an artificial Calendar, in saying when it was autumn. As a proof of the genial nature of our climate, and to shew that wo have other sources of' wealth, by tho exercise of domestic industry, in store; it must not be here forgotten that tho culture of both cotton and indigo has been attempted, on a small scale, in tho Western District, with success ; — that the various species of Mulberry, necessary for the growth of Silk^ flourish an. dor the care of those who have made tho experiment in tho- London and Western Districts ; that Vineyards maybe ad. vantageously laid out ; and the Hop is found in perfection almost every where. To convey a more just and certain idea of the severity ©r an Upper Canada Winter, it may be well to mention that the chain of shallow Lakes which run in an easterly, and iouth.easterly, direction from Lake Simcoe, towards tho Midland District, and of which the River Trent is the outlet^ are seldom or never frozen over,hard enough to bear a man with any heavy burthen, until about Christmas; and they are again open before the middle uf April. Owing to the want of a proper explanation by travellers, and others, who t Wo may eay present^ because we have na donbt of a further iimelio- raUoa of climate^ as the woodn are cloured away aud Uic wtttrs dimiaivh. kff ■;< I " i If ft t'Pff i ' I i il 4 „ n hiTO itterhpted to describe this country, an erroneous ic^ has been formed in England inducing a supposition that our Groat Lakes are frozen over in winter ; whereas they are aJwajs open, frequently exhibiting a beautiful and striking phenomenon during the inclement season, by reason of tha water being warmer than the atmospherical air ; in conse- quence of which, an evaporation resembling steam, and in •very variety of shape, in clouds, columns, and pyramids, may be frequently observed ascending with uncommon grandeur and magnificence from the vast surfaces of Onta- rio, Erie, Huron, and Superior, aff from so many immfinM depth than from IS to 18 inches, and the snow rarely lies in greater depth than from 18 inches to two feet, unless where it is drifted. It is very seldom the roads aM in f ny permanent condition for the uso of the Sleigk or C«ri0/e before the second week in Ja/zu/iry, and they ar« again broken up towards the end of Marchf a fact which sufficiently indicates the duration of snow and of sharp fresla. In Upper Canada, the occurrence of winters with sodroely any snowatall, are not unfrequent, and such sea. sons are generally found to be injurious to the fall-eropg of wtieat. It is proper, however, to remark that the winters of Lower Canada (being in a higher latitude) are both more •Qvere and of longer duration. There is a difference of at least one month in the length of the inclement season at Quebec, and on the shores of Lake Ontario ; and, farther westward, to the Sandwich Frontier, this fovourablo dif-" feronce is still greater. In Upper Canada a laboring man^ if he chooses, can at all times work out of doors; but in the Lower Province there are days of particular severitv, in the win to pursi There which ] sling to Summtr ates in t of fino w nights tioned. The ; days, [til oonstitut rene wea haitt is d xon.— In down wit tomperati gularly gi tbered tri other regi hoary- hea •oason, i^ and it is covered b known to families f< that the j daytt as t flagration Mississip] arthough 1 long and] produce al Dear — yef the reguli We arc the most known th| out a lart «rn latitul wintJier co 75 the winter season, in which it would be impoisible for hisn to pursue out* doors work. There are natural phenomeoa in the climate of Cakada, which remain unaccounted for, and are sufficiently pua- sling to the philosopher of nature. Of those, iho Indian Summir, which almost uniformly commences and termin- ates in the month of November ; and the terHan inUrvalt of fine weather, throughout the winter, after tuo or thr^e nights of intense fro^^, desorves to be particularly men. tioned. The Indian Stimmert as it is termed, consists of many days, [the Indians say there must be fifteen smoky days io constitute one of these «ummers] of delightfully mild, m- rene weather, with a misty, hazy, atmosphere, though thb haie is dry and soft, appearing to rest chiefly on the hori- son. — In tiie evenings of these days, the sun generally gotfv down with a crimson flush on the western heavens. The temperature of the atmosphere, during this season, is sin- gularly grateful to animal sensation ; and those of the fea- thered tribes who are directed by an infallible guide to seek other regions, more to the southward, on tho approach of hoary- headed winter, avail themselves of this charming season, in which to prosecute their interesting journey ; and it is at this time the rivers and lakes of Canada are covered by innuinerable flocks of wild fowl, of every species known to this quarter of the world, gathering with their families for winter quarters. Many persons have supposed that the peculiar nature of the atmosphere of these sm»ky daySt as they are termed, is occasioned by the annual com. flagration of the immense Prairies to the westward of i\m Mississippi, and of our Great I^kes, by the Indians. But, although the Westera Indians do frequently set firo to tl^ long and rank grass of their immense plains, in order t(» produce a finer and sweeter growth for their Buffalot and I)e9T — yet this cause is adequate neither to the ezteni nor the regularity of the effect. We are inclined to consider the following conjecture as the most rational cause of this phenomenon: — It is well known that water, when passing into the form of ice, gives out a largo quantity of its latent heat. In the high north- ern latitudes visited by Parry and Ross, it appears t]hat the winter commences in the beginning of Septembe/, and that :!-• if :- ■?■ ^ i i< i. 11 4} \. A 4.. I I' f I l^ 1 ■ ! , t / I ir V ti 1^ 76 through the whole of that month th^ongelation proceedi with groat activity. It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, from the immense amount of ioo formed during that period, that the quantity of heat thrown into tho atmobphero dur- ring tho month of September, must bo sufficient to exert & very powovful and perceptible effect upon the temperature of the air in countries lying south of the Arctic circle, es- pecially as the northerly winds prevail at that season. By what is termed tertian intervals of fine weather, through the winter season, is meant a very extraordinary and certain phenomenon that may be relied upon with tho same surety as the diurnal motion of the planets. The greatest intensity of frost is always remittant at the end of the third day — that is, the inhabitants of Upper Canada never suffer the extreme severity of their climate for more than two or three days at any one time ; being perfectly assured, on feeling any extreme degree of cold, that it will mitigate within three days, and that several days of mild weather will succeed. It may require several years of at. tentive observation to ascertain the number and duration of the intervals of mild and severe weather that usually occur in a Canadian winter between the 43d and 49th degrees of North Latitude ; but it would prove a subject of very in- teresting and instructive inquiry to any gentleman of suiC^ oient leisure to pursue it in the country. So many persons have been deterred from emigrating to Canada through a false notion of its climate being .fright* fully severe, that it seems to be a duty incumbent on those who speak or write far the instruction of others at a distance, to endeavor to remove the erroneous impression. Those who arrive from Europe, and settle in Upper Canada, uniformly express their satisfaction at the change, in this particular, at least. There is generally a clearness, dryness, and brilliancy in tho atmosphere, so captivating, after the ca. tarrhal moisture which saturates the air of northern Eu- rope, that it is impossible for tho newly inducted emigrant not to rejoice in the change — whilst the start y host of hea. ven appear with a splendour far more dazzling than any thing he has before seen, and the mode of travelling in win- ter in carrioles or tlnighs, tho easiest and most delightful in the world, gives him ready access to distant markets, whether of business or pleasure. 77 It may bo readily supposed that in nucli a vast extent of country every dcBcription of soil, and ovory variety of sur. faeo, an to mountains, hllU, valUoH, and plains mufit occur.

When in Quebec, some yeaM ago, the writer of this Sketch was shown several fino 8pocim«n8, in tho Sem- inary of that city, which had boon procured in those moun. tains at no groat distance from Quebec ; amongst which may bo mentioned a rich brown resombling tho tandyk* brown of artists ; a yellow, equal to that of Naplea — and an extraordinary fine blue, of a tint between that of Indigo and the costly Ultra-marine, The subject is mentioned m this place with a view of exciting further inquiry, and e». periment ; jbecauso, at present, tho artists and colourmen of .l^ondon are principally supplied with thein most valuable pigments from Italy. — A scientific gentleman who has late.

From Labrador the same gentleman brought several large and beautiful specimens of tho spar so peculiar to that coast, md which is commonly known by tho name of Labrador- ■par, of a brilliant Garuleauy or ultia marine tint — with o. thers of a green, yellow, red, and, one or two of a Singu- larly fine pearl groy colour. 1'heae specimens were found at Mingan imbedded in a rock of granito. The whole northern shore of the St. Lawrence, from Quebec to its mouth, and round the coast of Labrador, of. fers to the geologist and mineralogist a fino field for research and inquiry. It has never been thoroughly explored by scientific men. Much of the coast bordering on tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, however, is of primitive, or of the earlier formations of rock. Tho Saguenay is a very remarkable river, and richly deserves the notice of a scientifio traveller: — as far up as CAi- contint/t which is 25 leagues from its mouth, the foot of the high, and sometimes bald or scantily wooded, mountains of granite, are washed on both sides by its waters. ITie Point aux Bouleaux, and for some distance on the western side of its mouth, is an alluvial deposilo. containing, prob- ably, the richest soil in tho world, being composed of a ipeoies of leapy, grey, marl from 30 to 40 feet in depth.— But, as th ger a gene in which Ujipor Car or unculti\ fino growtl vercd.

The best lands are those which produce the hardest tim. bor, puch as Oak, Maple, Roech, and Elm, Black Walnut, 6iC. though Bass-wood, when of luxuriant growth, is also an indication of good land ; and so is Pine, where it is largo, clean, tall and thrifty. Many of the Cedar swamps whore the Cedars are not stunted, and aro intermingled with Ash of largo growth, contain soil of the richest quality, and are calculated for the finest Hemp grounds in ik% world.* It may give a just idea of the general richness of the soil to state, that we havo frequently heard of instances whera SO bushels of Wheat per acre have been produced on a farm, flven vthcrc the stumps (which would probably occupy one eighth of the surface of a field) have not been eradicated ; we know, indeed, of some instances whero 60 bushels, anu one in tlic City of Toronto, where One Hundred Bushsls * As the SociETV for tho Encouraqkkbnt of Arts, Max- waCtcre, and Commerce, in London, still holdout their promium of a Gold Medal or $20U, for the cultivation of Homp in the British Provinces of North America, thero is ■till hopo that this important article will become a stapW of the country. Since the last edition of this work wa« pobliRhed, n sum ofmoney has been granted by the Legit- lature of Upper Canada for the purchaso of the necetaary apparatus to dress, clean, and manufacture Herap ; and Col. Covert, of Now Lodge, near Cobourg, deserves great trm- (Ht for his exertions to encourage the growih of this article in his neighbourhood. The high price of labour, and tb« want of a ready market, hitherto, has been the chief diffi- culty in (ho way of its general cultivation ; for, in no oountry in tho world, can a superior growth of Hemf bt seen, than in Upper Canada. • * ^^^j^- i I I ■ t ■.

The vs^inter wheats are found to be most produc live, and they weigh the lieaviest. These are what Farmers term wUite whoats — [reds have not yet been generally intro- duced]— and tlie best soldom exceeds 64 or 05 lbs. to tho Winchester Bushel, although we have known several in* stances of higher wci^'hts. The Imperial Weights and Measures ai-e now the standard in U. C. by an act of the Legislature, Of Indian Corn, or Maizo, from GO to 80 bushels per acre, is not an uncommon return; and of Pumpkins, of the largest kinds, we have instances of more than a ton weight being produced from a single seed. But there cannot bo a move cortain indication of the depth and richness of the soil than the fine growth of the timber which it produces ; and, we havo not unfrequently measured particul-i^ Irccs of that species of white oak which grows in low moist place*?, and vvhioh is usually calle alrtiost incrndiblc — yet soern- jnr several yents piicxessivc'.y, and on land that was deenicd noi.r and exhausted, and a more abundant cron ha:s been sc,d.»!n Witnessed, From every ob.sorvjtion and oxpcri'V.ont that lias been inade, no d-aibt can be enlertninod of tho L;roat iVvlility ct the soil of tills fine country, not (xily every v'^etuMo pro. duction ■.Viiich t'uivos in s niila;- latitudes in Europ;^, pros. per here ; bnUoliiM's vvhic'i require either grci.^rr heat, or o^reater care, are found io succeed in Caxapa, wiJiout any parMcuIar altention.

We have drank of wine ve;y nearly resem. blm:^, and but, liltlo inferior to, that of Ojjorto, which was made from tho common wild grape of the c.untry. It is remarkable, throuj^hout this country, that tho soil and growtli of timber upon tho immediate ba.^. ks of tho riv»« ers and lakes is inferior to that of the country further back — aad it appears that all the Inrg'^r rivers ami lakes have a scond bink at some distance biliind that which at present 1)« unds tho waters. This is even the case with tho St. Lawrence atid the Great liakes. On another occasion » when our limits are not so circumscribed as they necessarily are at present, wo may venture upon an explanation of tiipse phenomena. In tho meanwhile, hov/evcr, we may britdly state our conviction, not only that our principal lakes have boon salt ; but, that they £.rc tho remnants ot r I; I !i: P ' m r. ' ■ ■■ ' jii 4''- 1; 82 im 'Mi^ ono vast inland sea which at no very remote period covered the greater part of the Upper Canadian Peninsula; — henco the innumerable remains of marine plants and zoophytefc, still to be met with in this region. In all newly discovered countrics,thatarc thickly wooded, the navigable waters are tlie great tlioroughfares along which the inhabitanrs must conduct their business. The first settlements are therefore formed along the lianks of the principal rivers and lakes — extending backwards, only by slow degrees, as tlie lands in front are occupied. In Canada, a remarkable exemplification of this kind of pro. gress has been seen. ^ long straggling settlement from a liuridred and fifty miles bftlo'.v Quebec, to Sandwich, being a distance of more than a thousand miles, was formed bo. fore the people ever thought of penetrating into the interior for any other purpose than that of hunting, or bartering with the Indians. Evc« nt this day the most remote settled Townships, from the frontier waters, with the exception of the road from Toronto to Pcnetanguishene, are not more than from 40 lo 80 miles. It is not, therefoio, in this country, as it is in the back parts of the United States, where an emigrant, purchasing land, has frequently the painful necessity of commcncingnlii^ establisiiment at a vast distance from any neighbours. In Canada there is abun- dance of the most fertile land i.i every variety of situation, in the midst of, or closely adioi^|j|ig to, active settlements, thatmay be had from Govor.. ent, or from the Great Ca- nada Land Company, on moderate terms ; and on such credits (// desiied) as enable the purchaser to mako good his payments at his own leisure and convenience ; and we may here state that we have never heard of a single in- stance wherein the Government has taken advantage of defaulters— and many such there are. The writer of this Sketch purchased a farm, in tho township of Hope, from a man who had occupied it for eighteen years without ful. filling any one of his engagements with tho Govitrnment from whom ho had bought it — and our author, himself, paid the fees which had been due for nearly twenty years, and no interat loas charged. This instance, and there are hundreds of others of a like nature, speaks loudly for the liberality of those who are at tho head of this depart i»ent.

As to roads, bridges, mills, &c. they ought, in every instance, in all new Townships, to be commenced and carried on by the Government — as they >vere in the Genessce country by Sir Wm. Pulteney and his successors ; and, as the example has been more recently followed in this country, by the Canada Company on the Huron Tract. We can speak to the point on this subject, and shew an example worthy of imitation, and one that ought to occupy the attention of our Legisla- ture more than it has done. The writer of this Sketch was the first applicant lor the scitc of the present town of Pe- terborough, in the Newcastle District, in which ihe first house, and the firsi Mill were built by him. The situation of Peterborough {which has now assumed the rank of a County T'o^«7^) is so admirable, and the country arouand it 60 fine, ind so \Yell settled, that it was soon found expe- dient the Government should undertake the erection of Mills upon a more extended scale than any private indi- vidual, at that time, was enabled to undertake, for the public benefit. This was done, and a sum amounting to about Two Thousand Fovnds, from th public chest, was expended upon Grist and Saw Mills a little above the first named Mill. In tlie course of a very few years the Mills wected by Government were sold at public auction, when they realized £500 more than the first cost, although "they had been constructed without much regard to economy. Now, this important fact clearly shews to what extraor- dinary advantage, both to the country generally, and to the Government itself, a certain amount of the public rnonies might be kept constantly afloat in the most benefi- cial manner ; and, unspeakably, for Uie public good. — This would be effected by an appropriation expressly for that object. For the comparatively trifling sun. of X10,000, jPt e new Grist Mills could be annually constructed, at a vast profit to the Government, in as many new settlementi where they might be more required, precisely upon the plan «.d opted at Peterborough. It was by the -adoption of a similar wise principle that the Genessee country, in the State of New York, so early began to flourish under the direction of Sir Wm. Pultenet, and his agents ; and it is on the same principle that the 87 Canada Company have been able to effect so much in the western parts of tliis Province. As much senseless clamour has been occasionally heard, even in this Province, which has been so much benefitted by their operations, against tho Canada Clmtany ; and, as it is important, on various accounts, that a true Ktate- ment of their plans, and of the very satisfactory results already derived from tlioir operations should be generally diffused — wo shall here take a review of the entire pro- cQcdings of the Company since its formation. During tho last Session of tho Provincial Parliament, an officml statement was required from the Company, with a detail of the several sums expended, and brought to their credit in account with the Executive Government, in part payment for lands sold them in this Province, for making roads, bridges, wharves, piers, and other erections, &c. &c. together .vith a statement of lands purchased !>y the Company from Her Majesty's Government duringtiic l\a clve years ending the 1st of January, 1838, according to the spirit^ intention^ and meaninfr of tho 30th article of the agreement botvv^een Her Majesty's Government and tho Canada Company ; with all other particulars ; — and, it is from this document, and the full and explicit replies that were so ably drawn up by the resident Conmiissioners here. Tlie Hon. William Allan, and Thomas Mercer Jonf8, Esq. that we shail now present our readers with a clear view of every thing of importance relating to the subject : The original ngreen ent between tho Canada Company aad Her Majesty's Governmer.t was for the purchase of a portion of the Crown and Clergy Reserves in this Province.

Forming a total of... 2,213,843 According to the report of the Commissioners appointed for that purpose by Her Majesty's Government, those land* were valued at three shillings and six pence an acre, at which rate the Ciergy Reserros amounted to £145,151) 5a In consequence of the difficulties, ^however, which sub- sequently arose, regarding the disposal rf the Clergy Re tervee, they were withdrawnlby Her Majesty's Government -~ftnd in lieu thereof^ and for the laiue amount in tlie ag- 1>^1 : 1 \ #^ ♦ 88 J « g-cflAo, <'. block of Innd in tlio L<^r.don aud VVp«?tcni Dis.

The Company were further required, by the Legislalnre oi U. C. to faniish a statement ot'tlie Lands purchased by them from Her Majesty's Government during the twelve years ending the 1st day of January, 1838, according to the spirit, intention, and meaning of the 30th irticle. This they were quite willing to furnish aH .oon as time ■hall admit of their doing so. In the meanwhile, as it may be ealisfactory and as bear- ing upon the sul)ject in seme mcatnro of the present en quiries, and as sliewing tho gross quantity of Land, aciw- tually under Patent to the Canada Company, we beg leave to annex a copy of a document recently addressed by the Commissionera of the Canada Company to a Committee of the Honorable the Legislative Council sitting upon a Bill lately sent up by the House of Assembly. From this document it will also appear how very un. founded has been the assertion that the Canada Company avoid the payment of the Tax already imposed upoin wild land by only taking out Patents to the extent of their salci of Land when the Tax falls upon the purchaser. It is there shewn that the whole purchase niAde by the Company of Her Majesty's Government was 2,213,843 a. •res, of which are now under Patent to the Canada Com- pany, unsold or unlocaled Lands on which tho Company M Dl ore now paying the ordinary Taxes already impovod upon Wild Lands 711,505 Acres. Located, and upon which tlio present occu- piers pay those Taxes 092,282 Remaining slill vested in the Crown 810,050 2,213,813 Or, it may be said, in round numbers, that 2.3d8 of their contract term are now exi)ircd, during which period the Canada Company have taken out Patents for two-thirds of their purchase — tiiat thoy have actually located ono-third of the whole purchase on which the Taxes are paid by the occupant — that they hold, unsold and unproductive to themselves, one-third, on wliich a largo amount of Taxes has already been paid by the Company, and that the remain- ing third is applicable to the unexpired term of their con- tract. In justice to the Canada Company, we must add tho following remarks to what we have ah'ead}^ brought for- ward, which were written by Mr. Jones, to be added to the Memoranda, submitted to tho Ilon'ble the Legislative Council, whilst the Bill for the Taxation of Lands not /Aen ceded by the Crown, but which were to bo patented in fulfilment of their contract to tho Company: — Clause 21, of the first agreement made between the Earl Bathurst and the Canada ('t/Uipany, is as follows : '* During a period of fifteen yours to commence and bo computed from the 1st Jan. 1820, (subsequently extended to sixteen years commencing 1st July, 1820, per clause 9 of the second agreement, dated 23d May, 1830,) the com- pany shall, in each year, enior into possession of so muck of the Lands to be conveyed to them as, according to tho valuation to be made by the Commissiokors, shall be of tho value of £20,000 Sterling," and this is the minimum which J have already taken the liberty of calling your attention to.

In conscquenco of tiic (I'iuculty whicli arose afterwards, rclalivo to the disposal of t!io Clci-gy Ucsarvcs, they were withdrawn by tlie (Jovcrmncnt, and in lieu of them, and for tho same amount of consideration money, Her Majes- ty's Government Rubstitutcd to tho (Canada Company the Huron Tract of about one million of acres, per clauso No. 1. of arrangements, dated " Downing Street, 26th May, 182G." In clause 7. of the snme agreement, it is stated that all tho provisions contained in tlie various ogrcomonts for the security and benefit of tlio public, kIiu!! bo applied to, and affect tho lands substituted for the Clergy Reserves. Contemplating the sale of iho Clergy Reserves to the Canada Company, Clauso 21, sets forth that tho Canada Company should each quarter of a year take possession of the Lands granted to them on the principle of one lot of tho Clergy Reserves, for every two lots upon which they might enter of the Crown Reserves so long as a sufficient quantity of each descrij>tion remained untouched. Subject to those conditions, it is ^tated in clause 25, that tho Company have the right of deciding which of tho Lands included in tho proposed Grants to them, shall be occupied by them, their Agents, Grantees, or Losseos, at any particular time, and that Hor Majesty's Qovornment will notcontroul tho power of tho Company to select such districts or tovvnsliips, as to them may at any particular period appear best adapted for effecting seltlomonts. From the foregoing premises the deduction ia that the Lands in the Huron Tract and Crown Reserves, until pa- tented to the Canada Company, are the property of tke Crown, with a reservation in I'avor of the Company that they shall have pre-emption of purchase on certain defined principles or conditions, which conditions being fulfilled on their part, Her Majesty is bound to give a Title in free and common socage for the same to tho Canada Company. That the Canada Company are unrestricted as to which description of Lands they sliall take up annually a tertain ninimum being fixed, but above that minimum, tbey are only liir tho amo So so vate pro under su taxes to they are pose ati of tho C That 1 obligalic Reserves though t Reserves chaso, ar ^hey hav Tho II Rcatlcrod justico to deseripti Fur I he to the U] tho Cana J837.

This a first clau Covernm Street, 2 ThoSr 95 only limited in quantity by tho extent of their contract and the amount at their credit with the Rocoivor General. So Boon as tho.'30 Lands are patented they bocomo pri- vato property, and as sucli, of course liijblo to taxation, and under such circuni?Lanccs the Canada Company ha\ro paid taxes to a conbiderubJe amount, but until thoyare patented they are Crown property, and if tlio Legislature now im* pose a, tax upon them, it will of course have to bo paid out of the Colonial Revenue. That the clauses itnposinjr upon the Huron Tract all tho obligations intended to Jiave been ap()licd to the Clergy Reserves, sets at icst the argument used by some, that al- though tiio House of Assembly have no power to tax llie Ileserves — tho Huron Tract being a more positive pur- chase, and now the properly of tho Canada Company that they havo over it. Tho Huron Tract is not more private property than tho scattered Crown Iveserves and the right of taxation or in- justico towards the Company would apply equally to each description. Further interesting and valuable information furnished to the Uppar Canada Legislature, by the Commissioners of tho Canada Land Company, under the date of 15th January, 1837. In lieu of the Clergy Reserves, agreed to bo sold tho Canada Gompnny, in tho first instance, for the sum of jC145,150 5 0. Tho Government substituted to the Com- pany a Block of Land in the London and Western Districts called the ** Huron Territory," and containing one million acres, unsurveyed, at a distance from all sottlemencB, without either the advantage of roads or even contiguity to them — advantages which the Clergy Reserves possessed in a superior degree. In consequence of these circumstances, the Company were allowed one third of the purchase money agreed to be paid for this Tract of Land to be expended in public works. This amounted to £48,383 8 4, as will bo found per tho first clause of the arrangements between His Majesty's Government and the Canada Company, dated Downing Street, 23d May, 1326.

Since that time the expenditure of the Company in vari- ous public works, such as road;^ and bridges in the samo Township has been about 2,000, and on various other road« in the Province, exclusive of the Huron Tract, they have expended as large a sum in addition . in the year 1827, the Canada Company's Superintendent came out to this country to take charge of their affairs, but as many preparatory arrangements had thon to be made, the Company can scarcely bo considered to have been fairly embarked in their system of improvement, or to have suf- ficiently arranged their plans for turning the tide of emi. gration/rowi the United Slates to Upper Canada until th« spring of 1828, To this period for the three procer i\g years, it is wortliy of particular attention t as illustrative )f the important ser. vices rendered by the Canada Company that immigration from Europe only averaged 13,096.

In support o'' the Company's application at that period, it was urged t^iat, at tliat very moment, the autumn of 1834, several fino vessels were lying wieckcd high upon the sand on tlio Lake shori>, which couhi, during tho heavy gales of that period, have easily made (jlcdoricb, had tho harbour been accessible. Tho House of Assembly, however, on that octiasion, no doubt from not having sufficient informal ion on the subject laid before tliom, rejected tho application, and in consu. qupncethc whole of the next season was entirely lost ; and the Btcam boat which had been built at such a heavy ex. pense to the Company, from tho ice having melted so gradually during the spring as to ha^ic had little effect in removing any portion of the bir, was unable to cross it that year, and remained in harbour to the great injury of the settlement the entire season. The moutii of the Maitland is capable of being madeono of the finest harbours in this country, is tho only natural one, if the term maybe so applied to one, having a bar at its mouth, between Penetanguishino and the Rapids of tho St. Clair, a distance of about 300 miles — the importance of improving it and making it accessible to all vessels naviga. ting those waters, needs no further comment or proof than that the number of valuable vessels wrecked, as before sta. ted, in consequence of the state of the harbour amounted to nine. The Company having been thus disappointed in obtaining a charter, still anxious that the improvement of the coun. try should not be retarded through any want of exertion on their part, made application for a lease of the Water lots, on obtaining which, with authority to levy wharfage under reasonable restrictions, they were willing to undertake the improvements to a certain extent until such time as, by obtaining a charter, they might bo encouraged in carrying all their plans of improvement into complete effect, (a priv- ilege which it is respectfully urged by the Company was never before refused, when properly and respectfully applied for by places similarly situated with Goderich.) This application was liberally granted by the ExecutiTt OoTernment, and under the authority of this lease the Cn- ' 103 naJa Coinpnny liuvo already evpondod X3,000, iirid now contoinpldl- i further outlay of X' 1,000. Such is c ricf Btaloiuciit of tho inoi ) prominent benefili coniorrcd oti thin country by tho exertions ond liberal ex- penditure of the Canada Coinpatiy. The foregoing Htaleincnts have v) ily reference, of course, to tho operations of tho Canada C'oinjiany up to tho dates of tho documents themt Ivoa, or rather to tlio Sl.st Doe'r, 1837 ; at which period it would appear that tho Canuda Company had expended in public works of tho first import, ancc, as promoting the interests and comfort of their tot- llers, no loss asum than je;27,493 ]'} 10 Coming under tho improveiu<^nt clauses of Iheir agreement with Her Majosly's Gov- ernment — and upon works and for objects not stri ;Hy coming under that head, in ad- dition, about 30,000 During tho past year wo understand that the Company have completed tho erection of seven bridges, with 7 } miles of road, for which they have laid before the proper au« thoritics the necessary vuucheKS, and have received credit for the same, viz : 1,30Q 4 On various Works, now in progress, but not yet completed — erection of bridges — one of a very superior construction — and opening 50 miles of road — they have expended up- wardsof 5,000 And^befoVo their entire completion, a further expenditure will be required of 6,000 On tho improvement of the harbour at Gode- lich, they have oxpoudod upwards of 9,000 Making a grand total of. £58,995 13 SI To Her Majesty's Government, in this country, they had paid, to the 31st Doc. last £250,000 And tri.annually, they ha.e paid large sums for assessed Taxes on their unsold Lands.

"Whilst engaged in ihis 'vart ol' thosu!»ject, it may not be amiss to jjivo a word or two of advice to rimio-rants of all classes, from one who has geen a good deal of the coun- try. It must always be taken for granted that whoever leaves England, no maltcr whoio he goes, must cxperionco soma cliange for the vYor>e; for if he is no othervviso aflected than in hiy fcelingg, he must sudor a temporary laceration that will jaundice every first view he may take of tlie now coun- try to which he goes ; and it is not pretended that cvoti Ca- nada is so heavenly a land as to do away at once with all nuch views and feelings, althoi;gii tho writer of tins account has but little hesitation in stating that it r poedily takes fast hold of tho now comer — and tiiat, if a fnir comparison ia made between tho advantages and disadvantages possessed by tho various Colonies of Great Britain in different parts of the world, and that those things aro coolly and candidly weighed, tho decision must be in favour of Canada ; which ie undoubtedly, ono of tho most fertilo and mugnlHcont ro« S' i\ I i f 110 M.V . I' (I -I gioni of tho Globo ; peopled by the subjpct? of Great Bri. tain — in the full poBsession of British Laws, and immuni. ties ; and, with a Constitution nearly on &n exact model with that of England, and whicii is likely to be still further perfected — but without the vexatious cp( ration of a tythe tystem, with scarcely any taxes, and with many other privileges it would be tedious to name on this occasion. Were it not for the difference of scenery and climate, a man emigrating from England to this country would scarcely feel sensible of any immediate change, since he finds the same laws, inanRers, customs, language, and very often tho same faces, which he had formerly known. With d11 these puperior advantages and enjoyments,whioh are such as can be had in no other colony, some individuals may be found to undervalue them, and be discontented, but these instances serve as lessons to others. Let one of them be here named : A man who arrived in this Province from the north of England with a few pounds in his pocket set- tled on a farm between York and Lake Simcoe ; the indus« try and economy of five or six years, in this now situation, made him com])aratively independent. He had a sufficient quantity of land cleared, and a saw mill, to bring him a hanJsoniG income — and he lived at ease, and with plenty. But it is the nature of man to be restless and dissatisfied ; fo it was in this instance. Although he had never enjoyed so much affluence at any former period of his life, this man grow uneasy; he thought of England, of his former abodes, his home, his ancient friends, and his recollections became insupportable — he sold his farm, his mill, his stock, and once more set his face towards Englan'd — the voyage was passed, a few hours brought him into tlie midst of the scenes of his youth — he again took a farm, stocked it, again tried the Hiictuations of markets and fairs, and was again bank, rnpt, fatally bankrupt, for now there was nothing left, and this foolish man ended his days in a work house I Fright- ful exchange for the ease and independence of a Canadian Yeoman ! Those who labour under tho bitter feelings of expatria- tion should consider that the same sun, and the same moon and stars which shine on the ecencs they have left behind, gladden creatioB here: and that tho Great Father ofali, I I who is 1 present e lal HowA tho cvo c where he to ileavc] dDn!!" . employed is to beco children's and that \ England, forefatheri phy, whic ^nd painfu appreciate actually er regret, an. dwellings!

Let the beautiful reply ofthe immor. lal Howard, which he gave to an expostulating friend, on the eve of his departure for the southern parts of Russia, where he died, hi always in our recollection, " The road to Heaven is quite as short from Cairo, as it is from Lon- don ! !" And let them consider themselves as the workmen employed by Omnipotence to ) ' the foundi.tion of what I is to become heroiftcr a mighly Empire, in which their ' children's children are to have an inheritance and a name, and that what are now the beautiful fields and gardens of England, once looked as a wilderness in the eyes of our forefathers. — Ot what value is that religion, or phisloso. phy, which for ever chains its possessor down to present and painful realities ? Lot us be wise, and learn how to appreciate those advantages and blessings which may bo actually enj yed in this our adopted country, and sorrow, regret, ani despondency, will soon be banished from our dwellings! But the instances of men taking the gloomy side of the question, are rare ; particularly amongst the lower class of society, . to whom the advantages are much greater than any other country affords. His land (which is a Freehold) costs him little or nothing ; a few months labour for others, should he have no money at all, [at the high rate of wage? in this country] enables him to stock his farm, on which he may keep a yoke of oven, or a pair of iiorses, constantly employed, besides leaving tim- ber sufiicient for fire wood for many years. He should, however, be careful not to destroy his timber in a heedless mannf r, by burning it in large log heaps, afu r lie has a few acres cleared. Some of the finest limber in the world is often considercti so great an eye-sore, that the sooner it can bo utterly destroyed the better ; but if, on making the clearance, the top and under brush only, were burnt in tho field, and the heavy timber was cut into cord wood, or split into rails-, instead of being consumed in one universal conflagration, it would be much better for the small Freeholder; nnd afterwards, when the whole projected clearance wa? made, nnd it became neccjsary to attack the reserved trees, only to ihin them out, in the same manner that is practised ia the vood lands of England, taking thoM n ■i! fit.

Many people in country situations use the young ahoots of the Hemlock Tree; and other hcibs of tho forctsl of a^rrceable flavour, in lieu of tea, without any bad conse- quences, or disrelish. If ho is a Tohucco smoker or cJtewer, ho may raise as much as ho plea£,cs in his own garden. Wage?, compared with those paid in Great Britain, are still ve;y hi;;h hi this country ; and hitherto, in the Upper Province, it has not been difficult to procure work. In many parts, indeed, there is yet a scarcity of labourers. — It is true that money is not now plentiful ; but there if scarcely any thing that the older residents have to spare in payment of wages that is not useful, nay, absolutely ne- •eisary to those going ou to a new farm ; and two years Vt- ing alloi men! du done in to earn corn, ai ions in should 1 to do hi Several ikreahin lowed f( croppin In CO dividual smallest Provinc or Mon possible to be d his oars will be Americ who wi —Let quently the bcs determ if ho h we will self no choice time re become Shoi the po< settlen expeni all con it will For 113 iag allowed by Government for the performance of Betilt rnentduty (which in favourable wo athor may very ofYen W« done in one month) the poor emigrant has plenty of time to earn a yoke of oxen, and n cow or two, a fow pigs, seed corn, and potatoes, &c. &c. bosidos the necessary provi^ ions in pork and flour, until his own crops are ready ; and should he not provo a« expert axeman, even to hiro men to do his settlement duty f«)r him, which is ofion the case. Several instances have occurred where English rustics, by threshing alone^ [where every ninth or tenth bushel was al- lowed for the labour] iiave earned wherewithal for ths cropping and stocking their new farm. In consequence of these advantages, there are many in- tlividuals, who have abundance and to spare, oven upon the smallest Grants, after being more than three years in the Province. All the poor emigrant, who arrives at Qucbce or Montreal, has to dn, is to push forward as speedily as possible for the Upper Province ; lie must not suffer himselt to be deterred by its npparrntdistanco, and he must stop his oars agaiust all the insinuations and reductions that will be used in his passage up Uie country, especially by Americans, along the wliole coast of the St. Lawrence, who will try every art to seduce him into tho United States —Let him ever bear in min I what \ g may have been fre- quently told — nnd with mucli truth — that Upper Canada i» the best *' poor man's country in the world ;" and let hiu determine on making actual experiment for himself; and, if ho has only 'imM^Uy ^sobriety, perseverance and integrity, we will not only answer for his success, but that neither him- self nor his chilflron will wver Iiavo occasion to repent tilt choice which he has made. Such a man laay in a short time realize every object of a reasonable ambition, and Ueceme one of the moytiicc and independent men on earth. Should this slight sketch fall into the hands of any of the poor class of Emigrants, before they can have made & settlement, it may bo well to give them eonie idea of the expense they inudt be at, before thoy can bo said to be at all comfortrble in their new abode. At the present tim« it will cost the emigrant pretty nearlj' at follovrs : — For building a log-house, with a shado ^<^'^ i ^ 7 in a r hit oxen, and a pig.?ty j.^ ' aj !l ii I \. lU —For this sum his houeo may havo two a- 7 10 partrnents, a stono chimney and hearth,* and two glazed sash windows.

A friend of the Author's has published a plan in London, by. which ho conceives that a number of those people now subsisting on parochial relief in England, may bo removed to, and employed in, this country with great advantage, both to the public and themselves.* The money required in aid of this scheme, is not to be paid, to the people, but is to be laid out within two years, in provisions and sup plies of implements and stock, under the direction of cer. tain managers. The cleared lands to constitute a mort- gage to secure the payment of what is then the debt of the colonist. '* During the laying out of the money and the clearing of the lands, some sliglit restrictions on the em. ployment and alienation of the property will be imposed on the^owners of it ; but, after the re.payment of the capital employed, each individual in the settlement will be free from all interference, Thotime of such re-payment, within ten years, will depend upon the exertions of the settlers, who may receive their deeds on redeeming their lands.*' The projector assumes a family, of the dcscriptton to which h*^ alludes, to consist of five persons, and that the sum of jC200, managed with ordinary prudence, will ena* ble such a family to acquire a prosperous settlement in Ca. nada m tw o years, without any exposure to privations, and within ten years the money might bo repaid, without in- convenience, by the family to which it was loaned.

Under favorable circuinsstanccs, the people will be placed on their lands early in June, prepared to clear away for a spring crop. With common industry, three such persons as we ought to presume our able settlers to be, will not find it diflicult to get five acres sown in proper time in 1822 ; from which they may expect to raise about fifty bushels of Tvheat, eighty bushels of Indian corn, with the usual quan- tity of pumpkins, mu>?k and Visiter melons, 100 bushels of potatoes, and a quantity of corn stalks and straw, with g'lr- # don produotioHS ; during the summer, before tho crops aro harvested, the people will be employed in preparing five acres more for an autumn fieason, and this cleared ground, with the former five acres, will be ready for wheat in th» first autumn.

There are several openings in country situations in dif- /erent parts of the Province where skilful medical men ura much wanted and in which they could scarcely fail to re- alize handsome properties ; but tho labour in such situa- tions is severe. A Medical Board is established at Toronto to examine all candidates who have not graduated in ihP regular manner at some eminent British or Foreign Univer- sity ; and no pretcnaer to knowledge in this important profession is allowed to practice here without having pro. yiously satisfied tho Board of his ability, and obtaining tho licence for that purpose. ' Of all professional men, of those of the middle ranks of Society who are not possessed of much wealth, there aio none to whom so many advantages are offered in this coun- try, as to the Half Pay Officers of the British Army and Navy. They become immediately independent. Entitled by the regulations of Goverument to receive from 500 to 1200 acres of land, according to their rank,* in the Army or the Navy: on payment of a fee scarcely worth naming (jC2 18s. 8d.) they are immediatoly [;laced on a footing with the country gentlemen, as to real estate, whilst their half pay drawn at stated intervals gives them an advan. tage possessed by very few in this country. Their Bills almost always bear a premium of from 7^ to 12 per cent, this, with the difierence of currency, and the certainty that One HundrRd Pounds will go farther in tho purchase of all the little luxuries for tho table, and for the conveni. ences of life, than Two Uunured Pounds will obtain ia * We hare before stated that there is now an titer atioE in the mode of settling their cliims. is# ll if p •■ I'll^ : ■ i t> ( Viii -SI' England ; besides the almost total rreedom from Taxeff, Assessments, and many other expenses that must be incur, red by gentlemen of this class in Great Britain, altogether give them extraordinary advantages ; and we have often thought that in no other part of the globe could they set- tle down so advantageously as in this province. Besidea* by their attainments, and rank in life, they are immediate, ly eligible for many honorable stations and empIoymentSt which add to their influence and consequence, if not to their wealth ; and such gentlemen will have the additional satisfaction of finding much of that kind of society to which they have been accustomed, in almost every part of the Province, for there are now but few of the settled townships in which there are not some half pay officers, either in the Army or Navy. We purposely omit saying any thing of Merchant! and Tradesmen; because if any such persons embark spec- ulatively in this country without being previously well ac- quainted with it and the mode of transacting business, it will undoubtedly be to their severe cost and loss. Me- chanics of almost every description are certain to do well, if honest, sober and industrious. Spirituous liquors are unfortunately so extremely cheap, that temptations to drunkenness daily and hourly occur to him who is addicted to that most fatal of all vices- To the small capitalist of from i75000 to £20,000 and npwards, the field that is opened in Upper Canada is aZZif- ringt splendid and dazzling ! .' But it is such a subject that it is difficult to know where to begin, and still more so, to stop ! neither do wo feel very willing to open the stores of our budget, in this particular, to the whole world, further than by touching generally on a few of those sub. jects to which such a capitalist should direct his attention, and by earnestly requesting him *• to come and «ee," when we promise he shall know more. Capital alone is want- Ing to place Canada i i tlie rank which her natural wealth and position en tit 10 her to maintain in the scale ofnationi and as the lifrUtarm of Great Britain : and we would ven. ture to insure a certain number of capitaiistd, of tho cali- bre above named, a quadruple return for the sum expended, within the term often or a dozen years !

The buying and sellings, the parcelling out and settling, and locating land, may be called the staple business of all new countries, and that in which both individuals and the State are most deeply concerned. Much therefore, nffj, almost every thing, depends upon the way in which it it managed. It is an idle and absurd opinion that land job. bing is injurious. When carried on extensively it is very advantageous to any new country; it imparts life, spirit and enterprise, and converts what would otherwise become stagnant and putrid, into a living fountain of all that gives strength and power to empire. The whole history of the United States, and especially the account of the settlement of the Genesee Lands in the state of New Fork, to which we have already alluded, a^otd striking illustrations of thii argument. The present times are Very favorable for ma- king extensive purchases of land in Upper Canada—the price, owing to that general depression in the value of all kinds of property which succeeded the late jwar, being nearly as low now as it was at the first settlement of ma- ny parts of the country. The Province is just now emer- ging like a new creation, into that general notice which it deserves, and the value of lands must speedily rise in an extraordinary ratio. The growth of Canada has never been forced ; and, though it may have been considered tar- dy in comparison with that of the United States, (many parts of which are hot« tion is sought in the query,) require no help for clearing— and it would be much better bestowed by enabling them to raise and cultivate different crops or to make improve- ments on their farms, after they are cleared, by thoereo. tion of buildings, the promotion of laudable schemes, such a» building mills, draining, fencing, and other plans that would enhance, the value of a cleared farm or bo service- able to those in its vicinity. It will never answer to ad. ▼ance help to the settler who has no capital of his own to •nable him to clear his lands. The Bishop in his answer %o the seccnd query recommends assistance to be given tg 185 tettlers to enablu them to clear lands in Hhe American lioBy,* from which it may ba inferred that such a prtictice as that of advancing mrjans to clear lands to the settler is commoa in the United tStatos. This we have reason to think is not the case. Americans, or those sr» called, possess an uncom. anon turn for clearinfr wood lands, with facility. Thej will clear tho siime extent at one half the" expense and in one half the time a settler from tlie old country could — and there are few of them no destitute of capital as to re- quire any help for this purpose. Besides, the sentiments of those and of British Eirii^rants are generally, so diamet. rically opposite, as regards tho posstsssiori of lands, that what might be of service to tlii one woald bo iniurieua to tho other. When a native of Great Brilain oneo becomes a proprietor of the s )il he considers it as his stock in trade, lie goes on to improve it, not only to raise from it his pro. ■e it noccasacics and comforts, hut to lea^re it as a portion and provision for his family. IIo has no intention of sel- ling, and nothing^ but its boinj; unsuitable for Iiia purpose or his being pressed by necessity, will induce him to do eo. What improvements ho makes are not done to cnhancd the price of his property when brought to market, but to add to his own comforts and iiicroaso tho means of provi- ding for his children. 'I'ho American, on tho contrary, looks upon a farm as a piece of merchandize, or the clearing lanl in tho same light lh;jt a meclianic views any piece of workmansh'ip, he is engaged in. Dio sooner it ii dona the quicker he can bring it to market, and he never calcu- lates on receiving any profituhlo return from it but by its sale. To advance help to the latter to clear their farms, is tho same as lending money to a merchant to enable hiia to make a favorable speculation, and which may be return, ed next day when ho eirocts a snlo. But to give an advance to a British settler to clear Ills lands is hanging the weight of an obligation upon li!m which he cannot for years re- pay — and in addition to iiis other difficulties, in clearing wood lands, ho has the melancholy reflection to thirit that he is in debt, and while ho is so, he views the posses- sion of his farm, not as a proprietor, but as a sort of lessee. It is not by this land jobbing system of retaking the Istt after being given out, for tiio value of tho improvements, that will over attract British f.irmcrj to Canada; although ** < \ ;i;. i I -■■- V- v5! t 126 such a plan would perhaps induce some of the Americani w;ho speculate in clearing and selling lands. It is the de» sire of becoming bonajiae, the proprietor of the soil, and the hope of exemption from taxation, which forms tho magnet of attraction to firitisli Emigrants in Canada ; none of them ever clear a farm with the liope of increasing their capital by the sale of it; but m the expectation of its de. scending to posterity as an heir loom, and a fortune to se- cure their families from want. Sometimes an entire Township is offered for sale, as was the case ii^ the District of Newcastle, in that of Sey** mour, through which the. river 1'rent, one of the 6nest streams in the Province, and abounding with Mill Seats, runs in its course from the Rice Lake to tho Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario. This Township is admirably calculated for the formation of a beautiful and rich settlement ; it is in tho immediate neighborhood of tho Marmora Iron Works ; and surrounded on all sidps by thriving settle ments. The fallowing additional tracts have been also adverti* ned for sale, on very liberal terms, viz : Blandford, about, Houghton, — Middleton, -— Southwold, — Yarmouth, — Westminster, — ; Sheffield, — . 20,000 19,000 14,000 17,000 11,000 9,237 56,688 The whole of which, together with Seymour, were ap propriated for the endowment of a College in this Pro-" vince. But there is scarcely any part of the Province where a ipan of judgment and of necessary funds, might not lay out his money with, a certainty, of great advantage. To those who might. wish to embark in a commerce of raw materia], or in the extensive manufacture of staple ar- ticles of home consumption, there is here also a fine field for enterprise; since there are none of those restrictions which gave so much umbrage in the United States before their separation from the British Crown, and which were •p Qiuc]^ dwelt upon by the famous Dr. Price, in hi« woijt on Civil remonsti vernmen put into the Cop substanc with Cot this cou richer it The 1 Works, ment, ai bly ente wealth, ment of There which It present vince. eufficien the first which t irregula to pay i( serious rivals, a last war per busl barrel, \ of Tob manufa< of impi quality and Sci ufactor; for the' conseqi Publ tivatio] ble inv iieaulis bnd ot] and to p.: 127 on Civil Liberty^ as beintr a just causo of disoontent tfid remonetrance.

The history of the establishment of the Marmora Iron Works, is alone sufficient to show the liberality of Govern, ment, and the hopes that any other capitalist may reasona- bly entertain of success in laying the foundation of future weaUh, so far, at least, as the patronage and oncouragOi^ ment of Government, is concerned or desired. There are several manufactories of a domestic nature in which large capitals are required, the want of which is at present seriously felt by all classes of people in this pro- vince. Of these, iS'aZ£,(whichmay. be obtained by going to a sufficient depth in almost every part of the country) stands the first in the list of necessity, yet it is an article with which the Upper Canadians are not only supplied with great irregularity, but they pay at least double what they ought to pay for it, and are under the control, in this respect, to a serious and alarming extent, of a people who are always, rivals, and sometimes enemies. At one period during the last war. Salt was sold in this country at from $10 to^l5 per bushel, and even now, it is frequently 5, 6, and 7|| per barrel, when it ought not to be more than 2$. The culture of Tobacco, Hemp, Flax, and Wool, and Rape for the manufacture of Oil for exportation, also the establishment of improved Paper Mills, (none but poper of an inferior quality being as yet manufactured in the province;) of Nail and Screw Factories, Glass-Houses, Potteries, and a man. ufactory of Coarse Paint.

Amongst tho Domostic Manufactures, that of Coarae Woollen Cloth is one of tho most considerable, and through, out the country it is a trade, together with tho weavin* of linen, rapidly increasing. Nature has designed this country to hccomo rich, not only from its agricultural rcsouri^es, which promise to La inexhaustible; but through the commercial advantages of her natural position, whicli cannot bo ssur passed ; for no country in the world is possessed of eo many public high- ways, by water conununication, at Upper Canada.

And here we purposely omit saying any thing of Her Majesty's regular troops, and th« aid to be derived from the Indians. The Abbe du Fradt was never more mistaken than in his assertion, at page 479, of his famous work on the Colonies, where he says, in his usual pompous and con- ceitod phraseology. •• Acadie and Canada will have ceased to belong to England, on the day that the United States will be able to establish an army of 50,000 men." That experiment lias been ttied ; even whilst the Canadian Her- cules was as an infant in his swaddling clothes. We hopo it will be longf before it may be necessary to evince a greater maturity of strength, by a set-to in earnest. Nothing is more tempting, and nothing is more dange- rous, and fallacious, to minds of a certain grasp, than anaU agous reasoning. It requires a penetrating and comprc. hensive genius, especially in politics, to apply it with any hope of drawing safe and just conclusions. Du Fradt ados to the assertion just quoted : "The English will find them- selves in a position, with respect to the Americana, equiv- alent to that which they formerly found themselves in France. They will be in the same circumstances in Cana- da as they were in France during the time that they held possession of Guienno and Normandy, as the Swedes were in Finland since a Fetersburg existed, but with this differ- ence that Guienno and Finland are situated only at the dis- tance of a few leagues from England and Sweden, whereas the United States are by the side of Canada, and England is distant a thousand leagues from it." This amusing and interesting Frenchman, forgets a very important fact ; that a given extent of country, (especially one like Canada possessing so much wilderness, with stro;:g natural boundaries and barriers,) even as a fortress of certain magnitude, requires no mor^ than a sufficient number of men to garrison it ; and that a greater number than what is required often proves an incumbrance, (when straightened in a siege,) rather than a benefit, as in such case, they only servo to consume the means of a protract- 133 ©d defence. Wo think it was Gustavus Adolphus of Swe*- dan, who said that ho would not desire a larger defensive- urmy than 40,000 men fit for actual service, to accomplish any military object ; as such a force would always enabl* him to chuse his positions. It is indeed worthy of lemark how few men, comparatively, have been actually engaged in all the most memorable battles, both of ancient and mo- dern times. But to return, M du Pradt never reflected that, unlike Guienno or Normandy, or Finland, the Cana. das were destined to become in a few years a match single handed, against any neighboring foe ; and of this fact there cannot now be much doubt, whilst nothing could b« more preposterous than to suppose the two French proviw- ces, which have been named, were a match for all France ; or, that Finland was capable of defending itself against th« enormous power of the Russian Autocrat. Enough, how- ever, has been said on the subject hero. The exporty of Canada are already considerable ; and, from the encouragement held forth by the *' Trade Act," passed by the Imperial Parliament, in favor of this country it is reasonable to expect they will be greatly increased in a short time. Since the last war with the United States the exports from the two provinces have averaged (inclu- ding Furs and Peltry,*) X2, 000,000 per annum, and from 1,000 to 1,200 ships are employed every year in the foreign and coasting trade. Many of what are termed luxuriies can bo had here in their proper season, at Moderate prices, such as Oysters, Cod fish, Venison, and game in abundance. The dome«tic animals of Canada admit of great improve- * The value of Furs and Skins imported into London by the Hudson's Bay Company, from British North America, alone, amounted last year, (according to a correspondent of the Quebec Gazette,) to JC250,000 sterling; and, as these valuableproductionsof thecountry, to a very large amount,, at least £50,000, are annually carried into the United St&tes from various parts of Canada, besides those exported to Grea.t Britain ; and if we include, also, the furs sold by Free Traders, and others remitted to Montreal and Quebec, from the interior, wo may safely put down the total amount for this prodnct at £325,000 sterling ! f u if ■ i .

It has often been asserted that the pony of Wales, and the Gallowa}' of Scotland, are superior, for their size to any other horses in the world. But ibo writer of this arti« cle has no douht that horses can be found in Montreal and Quebec of 14 hands hi^^h, and under, tnkin^ into consider- ation, and making duo allowance for the diflerence in weight and inches, that, for drawing or ca' lying heavy vpeights, and for bottom and sheer hardihood, would far surpass the horses of any other country, not excepting any part even of Great Brltuin, so justly renowned for the excellence of its ponies, as well as for tlio matchless character of its hunters and race horses ; since the little horses of Lower Canada are every day performing what would be deemed great exploits were they recorded in the Sportsman's magazines of England. But excellent as these horses are, their inferior size renders them unfit for many purposes of draught in agricultural labor. It must be re- membered that the renowned Tom Thumh^ the matchlesa trotter, is a Canadian Horse. Tlifi horned cattle of this country, merely want good wintering, and more attention than is now generally paid to a iudicious cross in breeding, to bo every thing that a iarmer could desire. This fact the writer has fully tested and better milch cows or draught oxen need not be, than what may be had in Upper Canada. Sheep are for the greater part, imported from the United States, and have more or less of the 'merino' in their breed ; too much so, in cur opinion, to bo profitable in this cli- mate, and with the careless manaffemenl they receive as they may be. It is thought that the improved •Chevoit,* 135 whose fleece is weig^hty, and possesses along staple, might be introduced into Canuda with great success, and it is well worth vvhilo to make the experiment.* It is to bo la- mented tliat the difterent breeds of sheep are not more gen- erally cultivateil than they are in Canada, as the clitnato is very favorable to the growth of wool, which might hereaf- ter become a valuable article of export ; and, what is very remarkable, although little or no attention is paid to thcs« useful animals, they are not hero suhjoct to the same dis- orders which arc so frequent it Great Britain, such as th» scab, the rotj the foot-rot, &.c. &c. Although reputed to be of a tender constitution, the Improved Leicester sheep, suu- cced very wvll wilh iis here. For our domestic manufac- tures whatever breed j aro chosen, the long wooled should have the pieft}roncc. There arc. Iho.se who wish fur an importation of the lar- gest breed of English Hogs, to give weight to those of this country, as well as to render them pf a more * kindly na- ture,* as a breeder would term it. Dut, there is not tho smallest doubt that a skilful and attentive farmer, who is a good manager, may iiave a breed of Hogs, without leav- ing Canada, equal to any tl ing that he may desire. Hogs which arrive at tho weight of 300 lbs. are surely heavy enough for ordinary consumption, and from two to three liundrcd pounds weight is a common average for hogs in- tended for the barrel in Canada, without any particular at- tenton being paid to them. Having now noticed tho principal objects which claim- ed attention in the present sketch, we have only to point out a few subjects of vital importance to this Province, which, it is ardently hoped, will receive the most serious attention of our Legislature, at its approaching session. Lord Durham should bo supported by the strongest rep- resentations that cain be forwarded to him f»om this Par- liament, in favor of the Consolidation of British Interests by tho annexation of Montreal and the Eastern Town*, ships to this province ; or, by a Union of both Provinces. * This experiment, we are happy to add, has been made, at great expense, by our highly esteemed friend E. Wal- ker, Esq. of Oro, lake Sinrcoe, and has been found to an- swer. mi t M '4 1 1 -Si 4 136 Nothing should bo left undone to accomplish this great object. Th-e Peninsula of Upper Canada has moxhaustible re- •onrces of mineral wealth, in every direction, undq^ the iiurface of her fertile soil. A Geological Survey ought to be ordered immediately, and maintained by the Govern- ment. The expense deserves not to be named in compari- son with the beneficial results that must follow. We have gentlemen, too, fully qualified te undertake it. Of public men for this work we would name Col. Bonnycastle and Capt. Baddeley, both of the Royal Engineers; and we could name several private gentlemen worthy of being, associated with them. But the subject of paramount interest, importance, and, we may say, necessity, is that of Emigration. From vari- ous causes the tide from Great Britain has been in a great measure turned from us, and we arc sorry,and even ashamed, to say that this serious aberration and defalcation has orig- inated from that most unaccountable ignorance which Btill prevails, almost throughout the mother country, on every subject relative to the true state of things in the.se Provin. ces. This tide must be turned again upon our shores. — But how? First, by dispelling those clouds of ignorance which have hitherto kept from the knowledge of our coun- trymen at home, the superiority of the claims which this Province in truth possesses over all other Colonies in any part of the world, by every means in our power; and, secondly, by sending a Commissioner or Commission. ers ,at the public expense, or, at least let our Parliament grant a liberal sum towards the expense of such a com- msision (and no money could be more advantageously ap- propriated for the public good) for the express purpose of visiting every quarter of England, Scotland and Ireland, from whence we might reasonably expect to derive that kind of wholesome emigration of which we now stand so much in need. We have not the least doubt that by the aid of such a commission, an emigration of 500,000 valu- able settlers, with ample means, too, might be induced to our shores, within the space of three or four years from this time. One gentleman, in particular, has been frequently nam. do for this mission who is admirably well (jualified fof ;t Irf: 137 ai»d we have great pleasure in giving this public testimony in his favor. Wo allude to Dr. Thomas Rolpii, of Ancai- ter. If an extensive knowledge of his subject, to which ho has assiduously devoted his attention for several years ;r^ if vast collections ©f facts and references in regard to the present state and future prospects of this country: — if tal- ents ef a very superior order; — sound British principles ; — unwearied assiduity ; and a most surprising activity and readiness in any cause he undertakes ; an able pen ; and above all» for our present purpose, a flow of eloquence that is always attractive and commanding, and sometime! irresistible, and overwhelming; if, we say, these are re- quisites in a candidate for such a mission, we hesitate not to add that Dr. Thomas Rolpm possesses them all in an eminent degree, and no one better qualified for it can bo found in this Province. Our limits prevent us saying more on the present occa- lion ; and we shall close this sketch, as we closed our lasl on a similar subject, in the eloquent language of a celebra. ted French Auth< t : *» Every thing depends upon, and arises, from the culti- vation of land. It forms the internal strength of states ; and draws riches into them from without Every powei. which comes from any other source except the land, is ar- tiBcial and precarious, either in natural or moral philoso- phy. Industry and commerce which do not act immediate- ly upon the agriculture of a country, are in the power of foreign nations, who may either dispute these advantages through emulation, or deprive the country of them through envy. This may be done either by establishing the same branch of industry among themselves, or by suppressing the exporiation of their own unwrought materials, or the importation of those materials in manufacture. But a state well manured, and well cultivated, produces men by the fruits of the earth, and riches bv those men. This is not the teeth which the dragon sows to bring forth soldiers to destroy each other: it is the milk of Juno, which peoples the heavens with an innumerable multitude of stars.'* ToROKTO, lan.l, 1839 C.

Under the Government of the Honorable the Vioejoront of Britain, are : Consular Governments of those parts of Britain, called Maxima Ctesariensis,* Valenlia; Presidial Governors of those parts of Britain, called Britannia Prima, Britannia Secunda, This Honorable Vicegerent hath his Court composed in this manner : t A principal Officer of the Agents, chosen out of the Duccnarii, or under Officers. A principal Clerk, or Secretary, Two Chief Accountants, or Auditors, X A Master of tho Pricons, A Notary, A Secretary for Despatches, An Assistant, or Surrogate, Under Assistants, II Clerks for Ap} cab, * The two most northerly provinces were governed by consulars, as being most exposed to dangr r. t Under the lower empire there were many incorporated bodies of men of difForent professions ; and these incorpo- rated bodies wore called Scholoa. I The Master of the Prisons was called Commentariencis, from his keeping an exact calendar of all tho prisoners in all the prisons under his inspection. . ■ II The Exceptores were a particular order of Clerks or Notaries, who recorded the proceedings and sentences of the Judges upon Appeals. 147 Sergeants, and other inferior Officers, There were also Nine Military Stations, with the neces- »Qry Officers, under the command of the Count of the Saxon Shore. The Count of Britain had also a Court composed after the manner we have mentioned. Under the Government of the Honourable the Duke of Britain were the Prefects, viz : — Prefect of the Sixth Legion, Prefect of the Scouts, Directores, Defensores, Solensod, Paccnses, Longovicarii *'Derventionenses M f« 41 *• (( l( (( (I »l It i( i( It • I II 41 It tt Dalmatian Horse, Crispian Hurso, Cuirassiers, Borcarii Tigresicnscs, Nervii Dictcnses, Watchm':n, Also along the line of the Wall, The Tribune of the 4th Cohort, A Cohort of Carnovii, 1st Cohort of Frixagi, 1st Cohort of Batavi, and Tungri, and of the 4tli Cohort of Gauls, and the 2d of Dalmatians, Da cians, Moors, Spaniards, and many others.

It may not generally be known that a Queen Dowager has most of the privileges belonging to bar as Queen Consort. But no man can mar- ry her without special license " from the crown," on pain of forfeiting his lands and goods. Sir E. Coke says that tliis was enacted in the Gtli of Henry VI. but the statute is not in print, and cannot be found. Blackstone states that a Queen Dowager, \vhon married again to a subject, does not lose her regal dignity as peeresses dowager do their peerage when they marry commoners ; for Catharine, Queen Dowager af Henry V,, though she married a pri- vato gentleman, Owen ap Meredith ap Theodore, common- ly called Owen Tudor, yet by the name of Catharine, Queen of England, maintained an action against the Bisli- op of Carlisle. And so the Queen Dowager of Navarre, marrying with Edward Earl of Lancaster, brother to EJ- ward I, maintained an action of dower (after the death of her second husbancl) by the name of Queen of Navarre. — Nor can the Queen marry a subject without the '* consent of the crown ;" but, as her Majesty is ** the crown," Queen Victoria for instance, could give her consent to her own marriage with any peer or person whom she might select.

DUTIES OF THE PRINCIPAL MINISTERS AND OFFICERS OF THE GOVERNMENT. THE LOUD HIGH CHANCELLOR. The Office of the Lord Chancellor is to keep the Great Soal ; not to judge according to the Common Law as other Courts do ; but to dispense with such parts aa seem in some cases to oppress tiio subject, and to judge according tQ equity, conscience and reason. Wherefore he is said lo have tw the meai CQoding not lim equity.

Ho may issno Writs of Habeas Corpus at all timoa. Ho has power to collato to all Ecclesiastical bonoficos in tho King's gift rated under £'20 per annum in tho King's books; his oath is to do justice to all persons, poor and rich ; the King truly to counsel, and to keep tho King's counsel, and not to suflbr I ho rights of tho Crown to bo in any way diminished. Tho Lord Chancellor and Lord Keeper aro tho same in power and precedence. Both aro appointed by tho King's delivery of the GroJit Seal ; they differ only in this — tho Lord Chancellor hath also letters patent, tho Lord Keeper none. LORD PRESiniCNT OP THE COUNCIL. Tho Lord President of the Council holds his post by Letters Patent durante bene placito. Dy the statute 21, Henry VIII, ho is to attend the King's Person; to manage the debates in Council; to propose matters from the King at the Council, and to report to the King tho resolutions tlieroupon. 1 1 III ' -11 m n '} FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY. The Lord Treasurer, whoso office is now executed by Lords Commissloncrji, hath tho appointment of all Oificcrs employed in Collecting tliB Revenues of tho Crown ; ho liath the nomination of all eschoators, anl tho disposal of all places and ways relating to the Revenup, and of tho Kingdom ; and power to Let Lpases of tho Crown Lunds. I Tho office of Chancellor of the Exchequer is always held by one of the Lords Com;nissionorg of tlio Treasu.y, (ex- cept upon Bomo very particular oocisions vvliou tho Lord Chief Ju'^tice of tho King's Bench is appointed to act as such). He is styled Chancellor an I under Treasurer of the Exchequer ; he has custody of the Exchequer Seal ; ho has also tho conlrolmeat of t!ie Rolls of the Lords of llie Treasury; and ho sits in the Court of Exchequar above tho Barons of Exchequer. Ho has miny lucrative offices ill the Court of Exchequer in his gift. •\ .iX\ f IGO f^. 11 ■''J LORD PRIVY SEAL. Tiiif; ffrcat Ofliccr is so called fjorii Jiis having Iho Piiv}' Seal in iiis cualoiiy, wiiicli ho murt not put to any grant without war and under tho King's Signet. This Seal is used to all Charters, Grants, and Pardon vS, signed bytho King before they come to the Great Seal. SECRETARY OP STATE FOR THE IfOM?. DEPARTMENT. Until the Keign of JJctt y VIII ihero was only one Secretory of State ; and iinui liu Reign cf Elizabeth, the .Secretaries v.erc never of the Fi ivy Council. From that time to the present there have been '.wo {secretaries of fcjtate, ivnd sometimes ihree; and thus a Council has seldom been held without the presence of at lepst one of them. From the death ofQiioon Anne to the Rebellion of 1745, tliere was a third SeoreLary for Scotland; antl from 17G8, to the loss of America in i782, there was one for tlio Colonies. Tn 171)5 there was an^ Ihcr appointed under th») denomination of the War DopaMment. The Department of the two Secretaries were, previous to 1783, divided into one Foreign, and the ether Domestic ; with the Home Secretary, all grants, pardons, and regulations in civil rnattCiS of any kind are made and executed. To the Foreign Secretary belong all despalchci, to and from other Courts, and all business appertaining to tiie :3ame. They have tlic custody of the Privy Signet, because the King's privato letters are sealed with »t. There are four Clerks of the .Signet, who are to make out grants, patents, &c. w hicli have the sign manual, to which tiio Signet being leaded, it is a vvarriint to the Privy Ser.l ; as the Privy ^eal is a w.irrant to tho Great Scul. The Paper OfTice belongs to the Secretary of State, where aM letters, papers, memo ♦ rials, ar.d negociations, aio deposited and preserved. THE I/'R!) HIGH ADMIRAL. The power of Lord High Admiral hath, since the Reign of Queen Auie, been ext^cuted by Commiseioncrs, except for a short period when in the reign of Geo. IV., the Duko of Clarence (our late sovcrcisfn) was Lord High Admiral of FJngland. The Statute of Charles II. ascertains his autho. rity in these words :— ♦« That the Lord High Admiral for the time being, uhall have full power and authority to ^rant dors ir bio Co tains ; irjflictc the Ac ed as a shall p Her M there s iho Lc narrow commil ecution He app coasts, him be! fioa, and on river Since ti alterati( miral hi Of lato sion, am emolumi a salarj commisij younge« miralty.l ACCO CE The officers Queen*s| Stole,) into the! ^cera ol 161 Ifrant commissions to inferior Vice Admirals or Commah- tlers in Chief of any squudron of ships: to call and assem- ble Courts Martial, consisting of Commanders and Cap- tains ; and no Court Martial where pam of death shall be inflicted, shall consist of Jess than five Captains at least, the Admiral's Lieutenant to be, as to this purpose, esteem- ed as a Captain, and in no case wherein sentence of death shall pass (by the articles for regulating the government of Her Majesty's ships of wir, or nny of them except mutiny) there shall be execution of such ticntence without leave of the Lord High Adnr ral, if the offence be committed in narrow ?eas; but, iv case any of the offences aforesaid b© committed in any v y^igG beyond tho narrow seas, then ex- ecution shall be done by order of the Commander in Chief. He appoints Coroners to view dead bodies found on the coasts, and Judges in the High Court of Admiralty. To him belong all fines and forfeitures of all Iransgressions at sea, and at the sea shore ; and in ports from the first bridge on rivers to tKe sea, goods of pirates, waifs, wrecks, &c. Since the revolution, the maritinio laws have undergone alterations and revision?, and the office of Lord High Ad<« miral has been considerably abridged of its perquisites. — Of late years this high oifice has always been in commis- sion, and still remains an office of great honor, power, and emolument. Tho first commissioner of the Admiralty has a salary of three thousand pounds per annum, and the six commissioners £1,000 a year each, and all of them (the youngest commi<3sioner excepted) has a house in the Ad- miralty. ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL OFFI- CERS OF HER MAJESTY'S HOUSEHOLD. LORD CHAMBERLAIN. The Office of Lotd Chamberlain is to take care ol all the officers and servants (excepting those belonging to the Queen's bed-chamber, who are under the Groom of the Stole,) belonging to the Queen's chamber, who are sworn into their places by him.

It is his place to inspect the chargep of coronations, marriages, public entries, cavalcades, and funerals ; and all furniture fjr, and in, the Parliament houses, and roonns of addresses to the Qacen. LORD STEWAHO. The estate ofthe Queen's Household is entirely commit- ted to the Lord Steward, to be ruled and governed by his discretion ; and all his commands in couH are to be obeyed ; his authority reaches overall officers and seivants of the Queen's household, except those of the Queen's Chamber, stable and chapel. Under the Lord Steward, in the coun- try house are the Treasurer of the household. Comptroller, Cofferer, Master of the household, clerl;s of the Green Cloth, &^c. It is called the Counting House, because all the accounts and expenses ofthe King's household aredai. ly taken and kept in it. The Board of Green Cloth was kept in it. MASTER OF THE HORSE. The Master of the Horse hath the charge and govern- ment of all the King's stables and horses. He hath also power over "queries and pages, footmen, grooms, and far- riers, SI itlis, saddlers, and all other trades in any way re- lating to the stables. He has the privilege of applying to his own use, one coachman, four footmen, and six groomi , in the Queen's pay. In any solemn cavalcade he rides next behind the Sovereisrn. i'' >.

Simcoe, downwards, was added to this list. At present this cannot ho done ; buti as we live in the midst of strange events, and in criti- cal times; and as from the retired habits and unobtrusive character of our present Lieutenant Governor, it is scarce, ly possible that a very great majority of our people can form any just estimate of his qualifications for the liigh of- fice which he has hitherto so satisfactorily filled ; It may not be amiss hero to state the estimation in which he waa held in another British Colony, of whicli ho may be truly said to have been the Father; Van Diemens Land, — over the Government of which he presided for the long period of twelve yeiira. We have it from the best authority, that on his Excellency's assuming the reigns of government in that colony, all was confusion and anarchy; the streiUs were impassable', the roads (even the main road to Lr.un- ceston) were impracticable; the buildings of mean con- struction and inconvenient ; the harbors incommodious ; bushranging, and attacks on the inhabitants of the interior by the aboriginees, frequent ; the laxity of morals was ex- cessive, and concubinage deemed honorable; in short, an ovil principle was abroad in the land destructive of the mo- rals of the rising generation and even holding out honesty as a crime ! When Governor Arthur departed all was order and peace; the streets and roads were greatly improved: the public and private buildings vould do ' onor to any coun- try — particularly the Chuivlios, Orplinn-schools, Police offices, and Penitentiaries. The nnvv^ Wharf will for gen. erations to come, exhibit a stupondofs ni'^nument of his great efforts in impi oving the country. IJushranging is now unknown, and the hostile aboriginees hnve been quiet- ly removed, without a single act of cruelty on the part of tlie authorities; monils have beoi. vastly improved by the introduction of schools, and the erection ot churches, but above all by the force of example ; for, nevfr was there a man mor 3 attentive to his duties as a husband, a father, and a Christian, than Governor Arthur. In short he .succeeded in making Van Diemen's Land an honest country, and f (■(* t '\-.' \ I I i f!.: ' -Si ».

But the greatest boon conferred by his administration was the consolidation of all the penal settlements at Port Arthur, and the admirable system of penal discipline pre. fected there, through which the worst of the population are by discipline rendered orderly and useful, and return, after due probation, to the settled districts better members of society. It is said to be the most perfect thing of the kind in the world. When Governor Arthur left this Colony, the tears and the blessings of the vast multitude which had assembled to witness his departure, afforded an unequivocal testimony of the universal and high estimation in which he was held. Ho has now a wider field for the display of his talents^ and for the exercise of his virtues, and long may he remain to possess, as we believe he now does, the confidence of our people.

REMARKS. Hence it appears that the number of resident Cler- gymen of the Established Church, amount to 66 Missionaries of the Church residing amongst ths Indians 2 Travelling Missionaries 3 Clergymen who are occasionally, but not fully em- ployed, on account of their age, or infirmititjs, or hav- ing other duties to perform 5 187 Total nuTiibor of Clergymen belonfringto the Estab- lished Cliaich at present in Upper Canada 76 The Clergymen above enumerated, regularly ofTiciate, though at various intervals, at no less than One Hundred and fifty different places or stations. Number of Churches alreadybuilt 88 Number of do in progress towards being built, 20 Whole number of Churches 108 The present application for Clergymen, from various p^rts of the province, amount to more than One Hundred. There is indeed, scarcely a settled Township in the pro- vince in which a pious and active Clergyman would not find ampio employment amongst our people who are every whereto be found in considerable numbers, except, per- haps, in Glengarry, which is divided, almost equally be- tween the Roman Catholics and Presbyterians. The list above exhibited so far from shewing the Estab- lished Church to be in a languishing position in this Pro- vince, as its enemies assert, proves directly the contrary; and, if any deficiencies are discoverable, it will be found they are against, and not in favour of the Church. In addition to this statement, wo have the satisfaction of knowing, that, besides several ordinations within the Diocese, a large accession of Clergymen from England is hourly expected. -•?( f CLERGY CORPORATION OFFICE.

BIemorandum. — Persons in addre'^sinji; letters to their friends sliould be \ery particular to r.scrrtain the name of the Post OiTi.e nearest to where they live, and address tliern siitnply by the name of the office, thus — " Mr. James Dobs, Nev/ I^larket, Upper Canada,'* or any other Office, {lu the case may be, as in conse^ quence of letters not be'vc^ properly uddrcsGei] they are frequedtly lost to the wrif;r aisd the one to v. horn they ure addressed. We iiave selected New Market, ay we think that we can in that manner belter prove the necessity of being parlic;dur in addressing letters under the simple name of Post Oiifice.s. That place is situated on a road called Yunge Street, thirty-four miles lonff, on which there are fivta Post OlTices, besides the City Ofiice, which sevves that part of it which is within the limits of the City, it is a commou thing to address a !c:tcr ilia.: — *'j:dr. Jauies Dobs, Yonge Stleel." Now which Ofiice is that letter intended for, th;i City rr any of (he hve others? It will therefore appear tleai'v, that iniiess the Post i^Jaster, where The lelicr is mailed, knows tlie party to whom it ^3 addressed, that such letter kvili, mosc'likelv, never !'■ V ' ( Ml 1.4' , I ti ^• M-: 'fill reach iti destination. After this explanation, we (rust that all will be particular in a matter of so much im- portance to them, and we feel convinced, if thej are guided by the foregoing instructions regarding the Post Office, that their correspondence will be much more regular.

Wc cannot conclndo tliis section of our work without again ex|)re.s^i^J5 oui* surpriso, jind regret, tliJit the productive, anil coniinually increasing source of revenue arising from the Post Office Department, is not conceded to us hy the Imperial Governtnont, since this impost is an unconstitutional tax upon the people of these Provinces^ contrary to the provisions of the 14lh of Geo. HI, whicii declares t'iat all monies raised ia the Provin;;e shall be accouriled for to tlie Provincial Legislature. But the fau't is unquestionably with oui own Representatives, whose duty it is, ut their every Session, to petition the Imperial Parliament until the boon is granted ; and there is no doubt that, by such reiterated application, this act of justice will speedily follow ; and a present addition of some £30,000 per annum be alTorded to our provincial revenue, with the certainty of continual increase. As matters now stand, in relation to this department, whatever abuses may exist, or whatever may be its regulations, whether convenient to the public or not, or of whatever nature may be any imposition; ^^such for instance as the preseut heavy lax upon the Newspaper Press, amounting to several thousands per annumt which goes into the pocket of an individual as a per- quisite), we, cf the Provinces, have no redress without going to England for it ; ince, on making any com' plaint here, we arc told ii is a separate department of State, and we have nothing to do tvith it!

To Exlingnish Fire, For preserving: buildifi;^^ f»'^»»> fir©. ^^^' Hartley's cel- ebrated method of plates which is cheaper and morooffec* tual than other modes that have been tried, is of the ut- most importance in alt buildings to be applied as a partial security in the spots m<>st liable to be sot on fire. To put out a fire an experiment has been tried which deserves fur- ther enquiry — A modern traveller gives this account at Augsburgh ; — " Wo saw an experiment for extinguishing fire ; thoy liad made a fabrick of bojirds set round with fug- got?, dry cloven wood and othor combustibles, when all was thoroughly on fire, theythrev/in a liltle barrel, it made a small explosion, and th j fire immedia'ely abated ; but continuing still to burn at cno Oiid, they threw in another barrel and it was all extinguished. Tiio sarno I am told, has siinco been performed in ICngland." If I mistake not the Society of Arts otforcd a premium for something of the sort, and in consequence some experiments wore made long after this author wrolt!, which wcs in 1722, and Mr. Godfrey, the chemist, pn/duccd a b.iii or barrel,^ which exploding had the same ciToct, and was very satisfactory : but th;'! comi>osilion was a secret, v.'bioh dyed with the groat Mr. Boyh. It is to bo regretted that other, and greater premiums are not given to jo-discover so valuable an art. — A Young. To rnid'-'T White Wwh durable.
