Entered according to Act of Parliament by Lowe & Chamberlin, in the Office of tlie Registrar of the Province of Canada, November, 1S66. iG7£87 PREFACE, In view of the approaching Confederation of the British Provinces in North America, and the prospect of their extending their commercial relations with each other and with foreign parts, a hand-book of common information respecting them seems to be required — a want which the publishers of the Year-Book endeavour to supply. The editorship of the work has been entrusted to Mr. Arthur Harvey, of the Finance Department, Ottawa, Fellow of the Statistical Society of London, England ; and it is due to that gentleman, in view of his official standing, to state that he undertook, "t not for a pecuniary consideration, simply, but with a view to collect information respecting the affairs of the Maritime Provinces likely to be of use to himself in the discharge of his official duties, to the department of Government to which he belongs, and to the public men of the future Confederation, In carrying out the details of the work, Mr. Harvey was fortunate in securing the assistance of Mr. Wm. Smith, Comptroller of Customs, St. John, N. B., the ablest commercial statist in that Province.- He desires also to acknowledge the kindness of his friends, the Hon, Jas. Macdonald, Financial Secretary of Nova Scotia, and the Hon. Wm. H. Pope, late Colonial Secretar}' of Prince Edward Island, whose active aid was of the utmost advantage. ,, ,, ., The editor, knowing the extreme difficulty of compiling such a work with absolute correctness, begs that any persons who may discover any possible errors will communicate with him. He will also be glad to receive suggestions for its improvement in any particular. The publishers, witnesses of the extreme care taken to ensure accuracy, and believing the contents of the Year-Book to be of general usefulness, feel sanguine that the work will meet with public favour.

Frogs, (Ranci) are f;rst heard about the 23rd April. Sliad (Aiosa) are caught the last week in May. Fire- Flies (Lantpyrw corusca.) are first seen about the 24th of June ; and the Snow Bird (PUctrofiJianes nivalis^ generally mal;es its appe.irance about the 20th November ; Swallows (I/irudo nc/a about the iSth of April. Our Winter sets in about the ist of December, as an average of the past 24 years, and is generally ushered in by a fail of .snow from the N.E. bv E., and this is the point of the com- pass from which our Winter storms come. Rain generally sets in from the S.SW., S.E., and N.E. by East. We have gcner.illy a few days of th.it poetic sea- son, the Indian Summer, in November : "Tho yours lart lciV(?lipBt Hniilo, Thntcomo tofiU witl\hn|ii>ilin iiuinnn heart, And Btroni.'tlion it to br.ir Did etonun awhile, Till Winter's days depart." Our snow storms of Winter are from the North- East by East, and for some hours before they form, the eastern horizon becomes gradually co- vered with heavy strata clouds of a deep leaden hue ; the upjier strata of clouds are generally a mixture of cirri cumulus and stratu.s, movinc; from the south ; but the surface wind is from the point I have stated : N. E. by E. The wind dur- mg these storms often attains a velocity of some 30 or 40 miles per hour ; tho barometer is falling, and the thermometer somev.-here about zero ; the Psvchometer indicates an increasing amount of moisture, and electrometers indicate a very high tension of ne/;ative electricity, otten an amount oi 300 degrees m terms of Vofta's No. i electrome- ter; and sparks are constantly passing between the receiver and discliargcr for hours. Minute but perfect crystalline Ibrms of snow commence to fall, and may continue for some 48 hours, and some 13 or more inches of snow fall during this time. Precipitation then ceases ; the wind veers al- ways by the N. to the W., or W.N.W., with a velocity of some 30 miles per hour, (this is our cold term) ; and the wind carries the loose finely cr\-,stallizcd .snow in clouds before it. This is in Canadian parlance a " Poudreric. " The wind is intensely cold ; the thermometerduring this period attains a minimum of some 30° below zero. The sky is partjy covered by cirri cumulus clouds, with a few strati ; the electrometers still indicate a high tension, but of an opposite or positive character. This v.'osit'rly wind may last some 48 hour.i or more, ariH lulls down at sunset, m.iy be, of the second d,iy into a calm. The blue tint of the sky is vei7 deep, and the rays of the setting sun throw a red or orange shade on the snowy scene, and the atmosphere attains a greater dryness. The electri- cal action gradually ceases with the wind. Our thunder storms of Summer, which give a yearly mean of 14. (forthe ■ imeperiodof 20 ye.ars) arc of short duration, forr.'.ng generally in the W. or N. W., and the electricity v.iries in kind. The months of April, May and June bring re- turning Summer ; the nights of July and part of August are generally oppressive, the temperature often remains at 70° during the night ; but the Canadian Autumn is very pleas.ant. The woods, with its leaves of a thousand varied tints, and the blue and cloudless .sky, with frosty nights, reminds us that the good times of the merry sleigh bells are iio:ir ! Notwithstanding these vicissitudes of "\treme . Mnperature, the soil is very productive aud the vec;otafion prolific and rapid.

The want of a perfect and simultancnu'i system of meteorological observations in Ifritish North America has long been felt by individual observers in this department of physical ncience ; .ind while Astronomy has marked with unerrmg accii- racy the paths 01 our planets, and the vastly deep but certain extent of the tr.icks of our periodic comets, not one step h.ns been taken to record, in a perfect and complete manner, the varying changes of our atmosphere. This cannot be owing to its want of importance, for it has a direct bear- ing on the health of individuals, on agriculture, and on the wealth and commerce of nations. It may be tnie that a few careful and reli.able re- cords have bf^en kept by individual observers at some points in this country, but the requisite con- nection of a perfect and unbroken cord of obser- vations taken at the same hours, have, up to the present time, not been attempted. The climatology of so vast an extent of territory must surely influence man's present happiness and future destiny,— the boundaries of British North America stretching, as they dn, fronx the Atl.intic to the Pacific Oceans, incUuliiig in its interior lakes of fresh water equal in extent to some of the inland seas of Kuro|)e, and which contain nearly one-half of the fresh waters of our globe ; mighty rivers which flow on in their onwara course to the seas, and which would seem only dependencies of the Atlantic Ocean and frozen regions, which extend to the extreme North; lolty mountain ranges which divide this portion of our continent into unequal slopes, .ind all of which tend, in no small measure, to modify our climate, and to ren- der fruitful and fertile this favoured region of the earth's surface. The following remarks will be confined more especially to the meteorology of the neighbour- hood of Montreal, for it can scarcely be expected that the short time allowed for compiling the pre- sent work would allow of obtaining from distant points the necessary returns. The following tables wiH show some interesting means of the past 20 vears on the general cli- mat of the vicinity of^ Montreal. They have been all reduced from observations made with standard instruments.

(Tliis has been chosen as an interme- diate ye.ir.) The importance of a study of the va- ried winds which pass, over us has hitherto, re- ceived but little attention. Mctc observations have been retistered on (he teir-ppiatuic and pres- sure of the atniosiihere than on any ether jihysical phenomenon, while the very important study of the winds has received but a 1 .issing notice ; yet its influence on the different climatic changes is too apparent. It is with this object in view that the following tables have been condensed for the puipo.-^e, hoping it will receive from observers more attention than it has up to the present time, for we are led to believe that much depends upon the velocity and direction of the atmospheric cur- rents ill causing sudden and varied changes, both in temperature and pressure, and which influence directly the climate of British North America : — V 1 1 16 77ig Census.

The character of the labor of the Colonies has materially changed in some respects since the last census. And the Schedule of occiipatlon,s was not properly made out in any case.

The year i86o was not at all remarkable for the excellence of its harvest or the abundance of products of any kind. The census of 1861, therefore, does not present an exaggerated vii.w of the reward which Providence usually gives to the industry of our peojile. The following table of the quantity of the Staple articles of agricultural produce raised in i860, shows how liberal that reward was even then. We believe that in iis6s and 1866, the yield was fiilly one quarter more. Wheat. Bush. Barley bush. Oats bijsh. Buckwh'at bush. Ind. Com bush. Potatoes bush.

The census takings of the various Provinces have been numerous, but have not been_ conducted according to any one general plan, or indeed in the same years.

They enforce strict compliance with the provisions of the Imperial Passenger Act, which compel all Britisn vessels taking passengers to have suftlcient and proper accommodation and provisions for them. They also afford all the assistance in their power to protect intending emigrants against fraud and imposition, and endeavour to obtain redress when injury has been inflicted upon them. Their officers, in the United Kuigdom, are :— Commander Lean, R.N., London, 6s Fenchurch Street; Commander Prior, R.N., Liverpool; R. A. Smith, Esq., R.N., Southampton; Captain Stoil, R.N., Plymouth; Captain McKenzie, R.N., Glasgow and Greenock; Captain Kerr, R.N., Cork; Captain Gough, R.N.,* Londonderry. CANADA. The principles upon which the Government of Canada acts with respect to immigration are : To afford to the emigrating classes in Great Britain and several other European countries correct information respecting the position and resources of the coimtry, the rewards oftered for labour, and the cost of living. To avoid most carefiilly, in so doing, all statements which would lead intending emigrants to form too sanguine estimates respecting their prospects. To give to emigrants, on their arrival, the advantage of official, and therefore disinterested super- intendence and advice. To inform them in what part employment for their particular industry is most likely to be found, and, in certain cases, to continue this care until they reach their destination or find places. Also to furnish information as to the quantity, quajiiy, and price of Crown lands open for settlement in the various districts. The Government Immigration Agents in Canada are: A. C. Buchanan, Esq., Chief Agent for Canada, — old Custom House, Quebec ; L. Stafford, Esq., Assistant, Grand Trunk Railway Station, Point Levi ; J. H. Daly, Esq., Montreal ; A. J. Wells, Esq., Ottawa ; J. McPherson, Esq., Kingston ; J. A. Donaldson, Esq., Toronto ; R. H. Kae, Esq., Hamilton. These gentlemen, in addition to discharging the above duties, will receive and forward letters, (post-paid) and remittances from persons who have settled here, for their friends in Europe.

Mr. Buchanan states that pro- perty to the amount of over $320,000 was reported as introduced "into Western Canada alone within the year, which " must be far short of the annual sum bronght In through all parts of the Province." This does rot include the money value of the thews and sinews of the emigrants, which the United States authorities rather callously calculate at $1,000 per head. On tliis estimate the immigration of r8,958 persons bad, besides, a money value to the country of $18,958,000. NEW BRUNSWICK. New Brmrsmck pursues a .system with respect to immigration somewhat similar to that of Canada. The Government has occasionally sent a travelling or lecturing agent to Great Britain, and has pub- lished several essays on the condition and resources of the Province. On the arrival of emigrants, the local authorities (who keep a record of the farms for sale throughout the Province,) assist them with advice, and are usually successful in finding them employment. The cliief immigration office is at the Port of St. John, and is under the charge of Robert Shives, Esq. The Deputy Treasurers at the Out-ports act as Immjgraticsi Officers. The number of immi- grants arriving annually for the five years previous to 1865, has averaged about 600. In 1863 1,456 passengers arrived in St. John ; by the steamships of the Anclior Line, 1,212 ; by sailing vessels, 244. Of these 1,217 sailed from Scotland, 198 from Ireland, and 41 from England. Their nationality is not given. About 500 of them are estimated to have made the Province their home. In his annual report for 1865, Mr. Shives Advocates the construction of colonization roads through the principal tracts of unsettled lands. The total expense to New Brunswick of the emigration of 1S65, including $400 salary to the Agent, was $689.40. • ; • ' ;• i. Nova Scotia. Until recently, Nova Scotia has made no systematic eflforts to induce emigrants from Europe to seek its shores, and those arriving in the Province have been but few. In the report of Mr. li. G. Pinco, the chief emigrant agent, Halifax, under date of February 17th, 1866, the number a iir.ei g in 18603 given at 176 only. _ The Government has now however apparently entered upon a different policy. In 1865, Capt. Llebman was sent to visit Germany as an emigration agent, and the following gentlemen were appointed resident agents in Great Britain : — Henry Bogcs, 8. Crosby Square, London. J. R. DeWolfi Tower Chambers, Liverpool. Alex. Campbell, Sentinel OfiBce Glasgow. A PampUet entitled : " A Hand Book for emigrants to Nova Scotia," has been generally distri- bntecl in Great Britain, and also a number of Poster Bills and Extracts from the Immigration Act. The Chief emigrant agent receives a salary of $800 per annum ; the British agents, $10 per head for each able bodied immigrant landed in the Province. The oiJy inducement held out by the Government to foreign settlers is a credit of 3 years on the Eurchase of Crown Lands in a tract set apart for them between Musquedoboit and Tangier Harbour ; ut no head money is charged on persons arriving in the country. Mr. Pineo, however, recommends that the Government should set aside for settlement several tracts of country, run roads through them, raakeclcaringsof one acre each on some of the lots, and build a log house of cheap construction on each, in which the settler might find shelter on arriving — the whole to be given to the emigrant on credit. Prince Edward Island. There is no organized system for introducing emigrants into Prince Edward Island, although the Colony could probably maintain five times its present population, there being many places which are as yet very sparsely settled. Tlie Government appropriates no money and appoints no officers to assist emigrants on their arrival. Vcre few if any have come into the Island for many years past. Tlie " head duty " payable by the master or owner of every vessel bringing emigrants, is $3 for each statute adult. 22 i f ' Area, Boundaries, &-c. I AREA, BOUNDARIES, &c Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Princa Edward Island and Newtbundhuid occupy au iminenso extent of territory ; St. Jolma, Newfoundland, the most easterly capi- tal, being 26 =".80' EaMt and 9®. North of Toronto, the most westerly ; tho distance be- tween the two being considerably over 1000 miles. These countries, however, all belong to one geographical district, which may bo called the Laureutian, each claiming u por- tion of the shoreaof tho Gulfof St. Lawrence, the Colonial Mediterranean. Canada lies principally on tho North aide of the St. Lawrence, and the North and East sidea of Lake Ontario, Eric, Huron and Supe- rior. In part, also, on tho South side of the St. Lawrence, stretching from iionr Montreal to the Bay of Chaleurs. Its northerly and westerly boundaries have not been fixed. It is bounded on tho South by tho territories of the United States and New Brunswick. Tho area of Canada is givei^ in official returns as 331,280 equaro miles, being 121,260 for Upper, and 210.020 for Lower Canada.* Now Brunswick is bounded by Canada, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Nova Scotia, the Bay of Fundy andtho United States, being divided from the latter by tho St. Croix Eiver. Its area is 27,105 squaro miles. Nova Scotia is a peninsula coimected with New Brunswick by a low sandy isthmus. It is about 300 miles long, and about 100 miles broad at its widest. The island of Cape Breton is now a part of Nova Scotia, tho Gut of Canso, which divides them, being loss than a milo in breadth. Tho coast of NovaScotia is everywhere indented with arms of the sea. and no part of it is moro than 20 miles from salt water. Area, including Capo Breton, 18jB60 squaro miles. Prince Edward Island is about 140 miles long and 34 in its greatest breadth. Its coasts are liko those of Nova Scotia, much indented by bays, and no part is moro tlian 10 miles from the sea. Unlike Nova Scotia, which has a rock-bound shore, the coast of P. E. Island is of sand or mud. Area, 2.10O square miles. Tho greatest length of Newfoundland is, from North to South, ;^ miles ; average breadth, 130. Coast bold and rocky. Area, 40.'-'()0 squaro miles. Thus the areaof tho five Provinces proposed to be confederated is as under : — Upper Canada 121,260 square miles.

No means exist of determining from the accounts the cost or value of such assets. IV. — CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET OF THE PROVINCE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, DEC. 3ISt 1865. Prince Edward Island shows a somewhat singular balance sheet. On the one hand more than half the liabilities are "unpaid warrants," and the funded debt is almost nominal. On the other hand the greater portion of the available assets are cash and Bonds given by merchants for the payments of duties on imports. The figures at the end of the last financial year, Dec. 31st, 1865, were : Dr. Debt — Funded, viz. : — Debentures (S> 5 per cent $46,560 do (S> i> per cent 57i6oo Debt — Floatinjr, viz. : — Treasury notes $ 36,800 Unpaid warrants 179,640 Debt — Deposits in Savings Bank (5 per cent interest) Total. . . fcR.

In practice they never are presented. Against the above "Lilance" the Province owns eight lighthouses, worth about $30,000, the Victoria Barracks, v/orth say $25,000, and a Market house worth *5,ooo. V. — DEBT OF NEWFOUNDLAND. The Debt of Newfoundland, on December 31st 1865, was: --Funded, $911,564; Floating, $250,676; Total, $1,162,243. The Province owns several Lighthouses and has expended considerable sums on improvements in St. Johns. _ We have no detailed returns for this year, but the greater part of the Floating debt consists of deposits in the Government Savings Bank.

CANADA. ,- It is only since the formation of the Audit Office, under the control of John Langton, Esq., that the Revenue and Expenditure of this Province has been annually published in an intelligible form. The blue books now show clearly all the Receipts and all the Payments of the Colony, whereas tliey formerly only showed the net revenues from some sources, and on the other side the payments less certain receipts. The Public Accounts for the year ending June 1865 are the latest published, and they show the total receipts to have been $11,509,868 and the payments )$i2,89(o,3n. For the clear understanding of the matter, it is, however, necessary to make sundry deductions irom these sums, for, if on the one hand new Debentures are issued, and on the other an amount of old debt redeemed, it is clear that both payments and receipts are swelled by these amounts, above what is properly the Ordinary Revenue and Expenditure. We have, therefore, prepared the following statement Irom Mr. Langton's figures. Receipts. i864-'63 Payments. Customs revenue Excise ' Post Office and Ocean Postage Public Works and Prov.

It is argued, however, tliat the increase 01 oie population of the country, is more rapid than that of the public burdens, so that the charge fer head is somewhat diminishing. * Almost the whole of this increase was represented by increased fioating debt, and diminished cash balances. Tlie Government, however, took means at the last session to meet both the floating debt and tlie Debentures falling due by laying their hands upon the circulation, so that in future, the amount will be represented by Provincial notes. * Ab a K.toft ii^'ftinBt this Iiictprko of Debt, should bo conBirtored theriilue of new rulilio WorkB, snch ft« the Ottawa biiihllupn, tlic decpom-d ihajin':! of Lnko St. Tutor, the linprovcmentH on the WcllanU Canal.

The Public Accounts of New Brunswick do not show the total revenue or the total expenditure, because several services are under the control of Boards, who only return their net profits or deficiency. This difficulty meets the enquirer not only in New Brunswick, but in several of the other Provinces, and it is evident that when the Public Account* are all placed under one head, great carehvill be necessary to prevent confusion.

There was thus a balance in lavor of the Colonv, the ordinary revenue and expenditure considered, but the cost of new barracks which were erected becaiiRe some troops were considered necessary to preserve the peace of the Island, endangered by the Tenant League, turned this into a deficiency. The above figures differ slightly from the Public Accounts of the Colony, because they call Debentures sold " Expenditure." 98 Banks. STATEMENT PER HEAD OF DEBTS OF ALL THE PROVINCES.

In Prii.ce ];dward Island the "unpaid warrants" ought to be added, bu: even then the amount wouldnot exceed i. 3 per liead. The best guage of the pressure of debt is however not its amount but the Interest paid upon it, for wliich see the preceding statements of "Revenue and Expenditure." IJ A N K S . CATADA. The Banking system ol Canada has hitherto been very simple. It has been the custom of the Legislature to grant charters of incorporation to any persons of good character and standing who apply, giving them special privileges, among others that of issuing Bank Notes as a circidating me- dium. These are not a legal tender, but as the Shareholders of all the Banks (except the Banque du Peuple and the Bank of British North America) are liable for their redemption to twice the amount of subscribed stock, and as they are redeemable in gold on demand at the place of ioSue, they have been held by the community in equal estimation to gold. Until the last Session there was a Free Banking Act, un J:;r which any Joint Stock Association, after investing a certain capital ia Government Sscu- rliies, and receiving therefor Notes registered by the OlTicial Register, could bei.';inb isiness as a Bank. 'J'lie Free Banks, however, which came into existence under this Statute, did not stand before the competition of the chartered institutions ; they gradually discontinued business, and the Act is now repealed except as it relates to the Bank of British North America, which continues to avail itself of its provisions, to enable itself to issue Notes of small dcr.ominallons, which it cannot do under its Im- perial Charter. The Chartered Banks are obliged to hold ten per cent of their paid-up capital in Go- vernment Securities. They iiiake monthly returns to the Auditor of Public Accounts of their various Assets and Liabilities, and pay duty half-yearly at the rate of one per cent per annum on the amount by wliich their average circulation exceeds the combined avenge of Specie and Government Securi- ties they possess during these half-yearly periods. The Bank ' f '^lontreal, .availing itself of the Cur- rency Act introduced by the Minister of Finance during the last 'session of P-arliament, has surrendered its right to issue its own Notes, which will be gradually v/ithdrawii ironi circulation, and has, as Agent of the Government, commenced the issue of Provincial Notes, which are a legal tender throughout the Province, but are redeemable in Gold at the offices of the Bank in Toronto and Montreal. Banks are allowed to discount Notes of individuals, charging not more than 7 per cent interest therefor; they may also charge a commission on Notes made payable elsewhere, not exceeding one half of one per cent on a three months' Note, and less on those tor shorter periods. These notes aie required in practice to be endorsed by a second party, and the Banks may take securities for their payment on real estate or other property. The shares of the Banks are usually held above par, tin? rates being regulated, to a great extent, by ti)c amount of their reser\'es ; and with little exception the Banks pay very large dividends of from 6 to 8 per cent. This system has worked, in the main, to the satisfaction of the Bank Shareholders and the public. All new Banks, however, to be successful, must be based on a proper financial foot- ing, for the history of several weak Banks shews, that unless supported by actual capital, they cannot last. Thus the Zimmerman Bank no longer exists ; the Bank of Western Canada was wound up in 1S60 ; the Bank of Brantford withdrew from business in 1S63 ; while the International and Colonial Banks disappeared after a short "run " in 1859, the former with $119,021, and the latter with ^73,300 in circulatirn by their latest returns, a large portion of which was a loss to the public. For a cognate reason the Intercolonial Bank (Limited) withdrew from business in the beginning of 1S65. On the other hand five new Banks have been successfully cstabiishcd since 1S60, and several others are in process of organization. The Bank of Upper Canadaclosed its doors on iSth September, iSr,6. It was encumbered with the consequences of reckless management in former years. It isnot yet known whe- ther the Directors will endeavour to avail themselves of the sixty days allowed by their charter for the resumption of specie payments, or put the affairs of the Bank Into liquidation. It is however prob.ablc that it will be found necessary to adopt the latter course. All Bank Charters terminate in 1P70. The statements which follow sl-.ow, I. The amount of the paid-up Capital, Circulation, Deposits, Specie and Discounts of the whole of the Banks since January, 1S61, (5^ years). II. The amount of tlie shares of each Bank, the amount paid on such shares, the rate of dividend for the past six months, and the market value of their shares at the same date.

The Bankinp; system of New Brunswick is similar to that of Canad.i. The Government, however imposes no tax cither on the Stock fir the circulation of the Banks. Their notes are of denominations as lowasgi, and even the B.ank of Ihitish North America is en.ibled to issue small notes under a special Act. 'J'lie Banks are five in number (in addition to the Bank of British North Airierica.) They make returns to the Lieutenant Covernor, shewing in some detail their A.ssets and Liabilities. These arij, however, made at irre.;;ular periods, and only published in the Journals of the Houses of Parliament.

NOVA .SCOTIA. The principal difference between the Banking system of Nova Scotia and the other Provmces is that the Banks of Nova Sgotia are debarred by Statute from issuing notes of less denominations than $20. About h.alf the Banks make returns to Government of their paid up capital, circulation, &c., but not with regularity nor upon a uniform plan. It is therefore with great difficulty, and only after enquiry from private sources that the following table has been compiled, shewing the position of the Banks at the commencement of 1866, since which time no returns have been made hy any of them.

SAVINGS BANKS. CANADA. The Savings Banks of Canada are of two kinds— first, those conducted under an Act which vests their management in unpaid Trustees ; and second, those conducted by Building Societies. The deposits in the former must be invested in Municipal or Provincial securities, or Bank or other such public stocks ; those in the latter may be employed in the ordinary business of Building Societies, but constitute a fust claim on their assets. The Act respecting Savings Banks of the former kind has been repealed, except as to Banks actually established : and Building Societies desirous of commencing Savings Bank business cannot do so, unless they have ;<4o,ooo of paid-up stock, and at least ^100,000 subscribed capital. Thus, there is virtually no law under which new Savings Banks can be established. Defective Legislation on this subject has prevented the extension among the people of the habit of laying by money in Savings Institutions. AU Savings Banks are by law compelled to make returns to Government, and the following figures are taken from thj Statements for 1865 ; — SAVISGH Banks rnoi'Eii.

The Savings Bank system of New Brunswick is peculiar. There is a Savings Bank at St. John, managed by Trustees, open one day in each week for payingand receiving ; while in eight other places the District Treasurers (answering to Collectors of Customs in Canada) receive money from the people one day in each month, pay out on the next, and transmit the balance to Government on the third. As five days' notice of withdrawal must be given, there is always time to get money to meet any unu- sual demand. The St. John Savings Bank holds 1^178,000 Treasury Debentures, which bear 6 per cent interest. They pay their depositors only 5, and the difference of i per cent is their chief reliance for meeting office and casual expenses. They have the right to obtain s per cent debentures from the Government at par, whenever they apply, and the money received is usually invested in this way, — the Bank making a small profit on the broken periods between the date of deposits and theistof the month ensuing when Uiey begin to bear interest to the depositors. On the deposits in the hands of the District Treasurers the Government allow 5 per cent, and give the Treasurers i per cent on the total deposits besides, as a commission for attending to the business. At the close of the financial year, Oct. 30th, 1S65, the following was the amount deposited with Government at each County Bank, the amount of Deposits and withdrawals within the year, the Interest paid or credited, and the expense of manage.nent. To this we add similar statements respect- ing the St. John Savings Bank for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1865, so as to make the statement gene- ts for the whole Province : — No. of!

NOVA SCOTIA. The Province of Nova Scotia has charge of the only Savings Bank in the Province, if we except a small Penny Savings Bank at Halifax, which undoubtedly does good by encouraging the saving of small sums, but has not on hand a sufficient amount of deposits to affect the general total. The Government institution, established in 1832, is called the Halifax Savings Bank ; is kept at the office of the Receiver General, and is open every week-day, except Saturday, from 10 to 3. Deposits are received of not less than one shilling at each payment, and bear interest at the rate of 4 percent, per annum, commencing on the first day of the month after the sum deposited amounts to twenty shillings. No interest is paid on any fractional part of that sum, but every additional twenty shillings bears interest in like manner, calculated by calendar months, but not on fractional parts of a month. When accounts are finally closed, the interest is computed up to the end of the previous quarter. On open accounts interest is added to the principal on December 31st of each year. One week's notice of withdraw.ils is required by the rules, but is seldom insisted upon, except during periods of excitement, such as that which occurred during the Fenian raid on Canada. Each depositor's account-book is accompanied by a ticket. Deposits maybe made without pro- ducing it, but no payments .ire made unless both book and ticket are shewn . Depositors are enjoined to keep the ticket in some safe pl.ice distinct f.om the pass-book. The number of dejiositors at the end of 1865 was 2400 ; the amount on deposit, $825,000 ; the deposits made within the year, $280,000 ; the withdrawals, $225,000. The average amount held by each depositor was $343,75, and the average deposit per head of the total population of the ftovince, about $2.30. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. The Savings Bank of Prince Edward Island is a Government institution, with its office at Char- ]ottct()wn, in the Province Building. It is open two days in the week. The Government pays 5 per cent, interest on deposits. At the clo>-,e of the last linanci.tl year (Dec. 31st, 1S65) the amount on deposit w.is ^18,346. The sums deposited during the year were $20,579 ; withdrawn, $7,649 ; interest paid or credited, .$726. Profit to Government for broken periods, i. e., Ijalance of interest in favor of the Bank after deducting interest due depositors, 5'i7;t. The Savings Bank is only now coming into public favor ; the amount on deposit, Dec. 3tst, 1864, having been only $4864. 34 JRecent Ads. — Commissioners For Affidavits. If KSCAFITULATION.

It is plain that absolute safety, rather than a high rate of interest, is what the frugal among the working classes desire, and that in Provinces where facilities are offered for receiving small sums on deposit at frequent intervals, a large amount is deposited, to the advantage of both the Government and the people. It seems probable that with an efficient system at least $5>oo per head would be deposited, which would yield a total of $30,000,000. ABSTRACT OF RECENT ACTS. KEW BRUNSWICK.

Capital Uk. Capltd nnder Atx Courts of CURRENC ■{ AND COINAGE. .ritt:. CANADA. By the Consolidated Statutes of Canada, Cap. xv., the dollar is defined to be one foorth of a pound, the cent one hundredth of a dollar, the mill one tenth of a cent ; and it is declared that any statement as to money value may be made either in pounds, shillings and pence, or in dollars, cents and mills. The Public Accounts have been kept in dollars and cents since 1858. Thejjound currency, usually called "Halifax currency," although it is not the currency of Halifax, is "one hundred and one grains and three hundred and twenty one thousandths of a grain, " Troy weight, cf gold of the standard of fineness prescribed by law for the gold coins of the United " Kingdom on the first day of August, 1854." And "any gold coins of the standard of fineness " aforesaid which Her Majesty directs to be struck at the RoyaTMint," are a legal tender in proportion to theirweight. The pound sterling (Victoria Sovereign) which contains 0.91,666 of pure gold, and weighs 133.3 gruns is therefore declared equal to and legal tender for £x 4s. 4d., or f 4. 86j. The gold Eagle of the United States coined before July 1834, is legal for {10.66} or £,i 133. 4d., but if coined between that date and ist January 1852, or as long after as the standard of fineness fixed by the laws of the United States be not changed, then only for^io.oo or ^2 los. od. The gold coins of the United States being "multiples or halves of the said Eagle," are legal for proportionate sums. Other foreign gold coins may be, but have not been made legal by proclamation. British silver coins "of the fineness fixed by law on ist August, 1854, and of weights bearing " respectively the same proportion to the value to be assigned to such coins in this Province which " the weights of the silver coins of the United Kingdom bore on the said day to the value assigned to " them in the United Kingdom shall, by such names as Her Majesty may assign to them m Her " Royal Proclamation, declaring them lawful_ money of this Province, pass current and be a legal " tender at the rates assigned to them respectively in such proclamation." Until otherwise ordered these silver coins "shall pass current in this Province for sums in currency equal, according to the " proportion hereinbefore fixed, to the sums in sterling for which they respectively pass current in the "United Kingdom." Thus the^ritish shilling is a legal tender for $0. 34}. No foreign silver coin is lawfiil money ; and British silver is only legal tender to the extent of f 10. The copper coins of the United Kingdom are a legal tender to the amount of twenty cents or one shilling currency ; the penny for two cent3,_ and subdivisions thereof in proportion. The pence and half-pence still current in Canada were imported by the Banks. The Government has within the last few years imported both silver Eind bronze coins ; twenty, ten and five cent pieces of silver, and one cent pieces of bronze. The following statement shows the amount of tlie importation, the whole of which was taken by the Banks of the Province at par, with the exception of ^000 in cent pieces, sold to the Province of New Brunswick : — Canadian Coinage, forwarded from tho Boyal Mint, London :— t 1858. 16ih Oct... 1858. 20th Deo... 1860. 22DdMay.. 30 Boxes Silver. 20 cent pieces... 10 " " ... 6 " " ... • 50,000 10,000 15,000 00) 00 1 00 S $75,000 00 107 Boxes Silver 20 " 10 " 5 " 11 m 96,078 111,640 58,019 40 20 46 265,738 05 485 Boxes Bronze. 1 " K 96,903 88 96,903 68 Total. $437,641 93 $437,641 93 In general practice, both American quarters and British shillings are taken in shops in Canada for twenty five cents, goocb being " marked up " accordingly, and tradesmen fi-equently give a premium for Bank Bills. . , . , ,. , „ American silver has therefore been unported m large quantities, and several million dollars worth of it are in circulation in the Province. In Post Offices and Banks, Canadian coin is the only silver taken at its face value, the conse- quence of which is that almost all our silver coin is locked up in the vaults of the several Banks. The paper money of Canada has been until of late exclusively issued by the Banks (see article on Banks) and is of the denominations oit\, $2, $4, $$, |io, I20, $50, jiioo. New Brunswick. The New Brunswick legal dollar is the same as that of Canada, bearing the same relation to the English sovereign. The Bank notes are of denominations as low as )$i, and are considered equal to gold. The coins imported by the Province are of the same denominations as those of Canada ; viz : 20, 10 and s cent pieces, of silver, and i cent of bronze. The Government made two importations— the first of $30,011.00 in shillings; 1(15,012.90 in six pences ; ;Js,oo2.7S in three penccs, and $3,000.00 in cent.s. Tlio second wasof J44,98s-3S in sifvcr coins in about the same proportion, and of 19,980.87 in copper. Total face value ^107,992. 87, total cost ;C9.873 17s- ud. sterlmg. These coins are now the common metallic currency of the Province, the Amencan silver quarter being taken for ao cents only, and the British shilling lieing legal only as 34 cents, which is below theii intrinsic vahie, and therefore drives them out of circulation. Nova Scotia. The sovereign of the United Kingdom is equal to five dollars in the currency of Nova Scotia. The doubloon, if not less weight than 415 pains and containing not less than 360 grams of pure gold is |i6. The Peruvian. Mexican, Columbian and old Spanish dollars, of the fullweight of 416 grains and containini; not less than 373 grains of pure silver are legal for 4s. ad. steriing or #1.04. The silver corns of the United Kingdom are legal tender, to the extent of f 10, at the following rates. 36 Stamp Duties. Nova Scotia. — Continutd. The Crovni, $1.35 ; the half Crown, ^0.63^ ; the florin, |o.so; the shilling, ^.35 ; the sis pence, 13^ ; the four pence, |o.o8. No( *,o Other silver coin is legal tender, but the Amencan "quarter" passes current at 33* cents. The copper coin of the Province is the only legal tender in copper, and then only to the extent of 35 cents. AH Public Accounts are kept and all judgments must be entered and executions taken out in dollam and cents. The Province has issued no silver coins. It has called in its old issue of pence and half pence, and substituted an issue of bronze cents and half cents to the face value of $17,903, of which about |3,ooo is in half cents. The Statutes declare that "any person issuing as cutnuatmg currency any promissory note or bank " note or bill for a less sum than $30 shall for every such offence forfeit forty dollars." Banks are therefore debarred from issuing small notes, and the Treasury notes, which are of the denominations of I4 and Js. are in demand. Their amount in circulation at the end of June 1866, was $^03,488. They are hot a legal tender, except for duties, while on the other hand the Receiver General is authorized to pay warrants with them. They are not, however, at a discount, for if the Banks were not to receive them, the Government would do so and give the parties presenting them a cheque on the Bank of Nova Scotia, payable in gold. Frincx Edward Island. The currency of Prince Edward Island is more complex than that of any of the other North Ame- rican Colonies. By 1 3 Victoria, chapter 34, the British sovereign is a legal tender at thirty shillings island ctirrency, and British silver in proportion. The American Eagle {%\o) is legal at £-^ currency, aliquot parts in proportion. British gold is therefore more abundant in the Island than American. The gold doubloon of not less than 415 grains is legal at f,\ 16s. The United States, Peruvian, Chilian and Spanish milled dollars and the dollar of Central America being of not less weight than 413 grains are legal at 6s. 3d. Island currency, and aliquot parts in proportion. The French five iiranc piece is legal at 5s. 6d. ; and its subdivisions at the same rate. Copper coins legally current in the United Kmgdom, Canada and New Brunswick are legal in Prince Edward Island, penny for penny. But a British half penny is not legal for more than a half penny, though worth nearly as mucn as an Island penny. The Public Accounts are kept partly in Island currency, partly in sterling. The Prince Edward Island Government has coined no money, unless we take into acconut its Treasury bills of 5s. and multiples. The Banks have issued a few copper coins. For an account of the paper currency of the Island see '* Banks." NEWFOUNDLAND. ,' The British Sovereign, legal tender for $4. 80 currency.

CANADA. Building Societies in Canada are of two kinds : Permanent and Terminable. In the former, paid- up shares carry interest, half-yearly, and one need not in practice be a shareholder in order to be able to borrow. Aa borrowed money is repaid, (usually by a given number of instalments, which clear off interest and principal together), it is re-invested, and the Societies' existence continues.^ In the latter, interest is not paid upon invested monies until the Society is wound up by the expiration of loans made. To borrow shares from these, one must be a shareholder, and buy at a sort of auction at a premium dictated by one's necessities an amount of money equal to the par value of the shares held. As a rule, the Permanent Building Societies have been successful, the Terminable ones not so, and in fact the latter are very generally Deing converted into societies of the Permanent class. From the absence of a general Savings Bank system, the Building Societies of the Province have acquired unusually extensive development. They are not controlled by Government, excepting to the extent of being obliged to furnish annual returns to the Auditor of Public Accounts.

Th*" Public Works of Canada consist principally of Canals, built for the pujgiose of overrombg difficult?M hi the navigation of Rivers, also of rfarbors and Piers, Lighthouses, Beacons and Buoys, sSand Booms Roads and Bridges, Parliamentary BuildinRs, Custom Houses and Post Offices. The cosi ofihesT. beingfhe c^ the Public bcbt, wifl be found in the Balance Sheet of the Province elsewhere printed. The Province is not the owner of any Railway. , ,^. , ^ ~/r-The St Lawrence navigation is 2,385 miles long, and eight danals, of «h^h seven are Canadian and one American,-have been buUt to make it practicable for all its length.

The Ottavra and Rideau Canals complete a second (interior) line of navigation from Montreal to Kingston, (on Lake Ontario.) Their united length is 143J miles, of which the Rideau Canal is 126J. The total lockage is 578! feet, of which 4<.6| belong to the Rideau. Of this some 177 feet is fall, the difference rise. The distance by this route from Montreal to Kingston is 249^ miles. Note. — A channel iii miles long has been dredged through Lake St. Peter, so that vessels draw- ing 2o feet can go up to Aiontreal. Two locks on the Lachine Canal have 16 feet on the sills, and three on the Welland are 200 x 41 feet. The St. Our!" Lock and the Chambly Canal connect the St. Lawrence and the Hudson, via the Richelieu river and Lake Champlain. Distance from Montreal to New York, 456 miles.

Roads and Bridges.— Iha Government constructs roads wherever public policy requires it, and settlers are not numerous enough to build them without assistance. Nearly a dozen of them are now being constructed, of which the most important are the Tcitiiscouata road, the Matapcdia road, the Ristigouche road and the Monck road (Ottawa to Lake Huron).

These buildGngs are three in number — the Parliament House and offices being the central block, the Departmental offices on each side. Ground was broken for their construction by Hon. John Rose, December 20, 1859. The Foundation stone was laid with great ceremony by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, I St September, i860, and the first Session was held in them during the present year, 1866. The total cost of these buildings, to date, September ist, has been $2,400,000, and the su!'">5 vet to be spent before they will be thoroughly completed will in all probability raise it to $3,000,000. They cover three acres and seven tenths, and the grounds, 29 acres in extent, are 150 feet above thelevel of the Ottawa river immediately below. NEW BRUNSWICK. The European and North American Railway is the chief public work in New Brunswick. It con- nects the city of St, John on the Bay of Fundy with Shediac on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and is under the management of three Commissioners appointed by the Governor. The board now consists of Mr. Geo. Thomas, Chairman, Mr. James Steadman and Mr. C. H. Fairweather. It is claimed for this road that it is best the and most perfectly constructed railway in America. (For further particulars see "Railways.") , x i- The Province has built and keeps up eleven Lighthouses on the Bay of Fundy, and three on the Gulf, also a steam whistle on Partridge Island, (St. John) all which have cost $50, 156. Ithas no piers, wharves, and excepting one dredge, no steam vessels. There was at one time an idea of cutting a canal from the head waters of the Bajr of Fundy to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but it has not been car- ried into effect. It owns a Penitentiary and a Lunatic Asylum, also a Parliament House and the Governor General's residence. nova SCOTIA. The Nova Scotia Railway is the only public work of importance owned by the Province. It runs from Halifax to Windsor and Truro, and it_ is intended to finish it to Annapolis on the one hand, and to Pictou on the other. The former extension is only projected; the latter is nearly completed. The Province owns fifty-one lighthouses, costing, say, $200,000. Cost of maintenance, 1865, 536,742 ; light duty received, $35,875. 40 Public Works. Nova Scotia.— Continued, The books of the Province do not shew the cost of the Province Building, Government House, Lunatic Asylum, and Penitentiary, nor do any means exist for estimating their value. Government usually contributes towards building the wharves and piers required along the coast, and advances money for the purpose. The "navigation securities" taken on such occasions, are simply security that the money will be properly spent, not bonds from which any pecuniary return is expected. The only bond taken b, that the land on which the wharves, &c., are built, is made over to the Government. The Government have for the past year or two been cutting a canal at St. Peters, leading into the Bras d'Or. It is designed to accommodate vessels of from 15 feet to 32 feet 6 inches beam ; estimated cost, $170,000 ; amount spent, 111,941. The Government have built most of the roads in the Province, but they are not regarded as an asset, nor can their cost or value be stated. The Province owns a steamer, the " Dniid," and a schooner, the " Daring ;" the former a vessel of some 700 tons, once a blockade runner, the latter a craft of about 70 tons. They are used for the protection of the Fisheries, and for Light-house service. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. The Public Works of Prince Edward Island are : eight light-houses, (another in course of erec- tion), a Barracks, and a Market House. Value oi the whole, $60,000. NEWFOUNDLAND. The Public Works of Newfoundland are : five Court-Houses and Gaols, a Lunatic Asylum, a Post Office, Custom House, an Hospital, a Poor Asylum, some sewerage, a few roads and bridges, and sixteen lighthouses. PUBLIC LANDS. CANADA. At the end of 1865 50,321,837 acres of Public Lands had been surveyed in Canada, of which 24,- 7561159 were in Upper, and 25,563,678 in Lower Canada. At the same date there had been disposed of by sale or free grant 40.577,697 acres, leaving about 10,000,000 of surveyed acres open for sale and settlement ; but surveys still proceed at the rate of about 500,000 acres annually, so that there is still plenty of room and opportunity for all who prefer holding from the Crown to buying from private owners. , _ A great deal of controversy has been engaged in as to the value of the lands still in the possession of the Crown. The truth seems to be that while the best arable lands in the basins of the chief rivers are already occupied, there is still available an immense area which, if rougher in surface than the pe- ninsula of Canada West, will yet yield fair returns to farming^ industry, and that the mineral ricnes which exist in great abundance in these tracts, render them ciuite as valuable as the fine agricultural tracts which fell to the lot i.f the backwoodsmen of a generation now passing away. The Public Lands of Canada are divided into Crown lands. School lands, Clercy lands, and Indian lands. _ The proceeds of the sale of Crown Lands go into the general revenue ; those from the others to special funds created for the support of Schools, Clergy or Indians, and endowed by the Legislature or by the Crown with grants from the Public domain. They are sold b^ Agents resident in various districts, for prices ranging from 20 cents per acre upwards ; and the list of Crown Land Agents in another part of this Year Book shews the number of acres they have for sale, and the exact price at which they can be bought. In some few cases, — chiefly where lots are supposed to contain minerals, — special application has to be made to the Crown Lands Department direct for the right to purchase them, and they are then usually sold at public auction. In some parts ot Canada, — on leading lines of road, which it is desirable on public grounds should be settled with rapidity, — free grants of land are made. This is considered an inducement to poor emigrants from Europe, and in fact several settlements have thus been formed where settlers destitute of means have, withm a few years, made themselves comfortable homes, and are now prosperous farmers. The following statistics relate to all the lands of the Province, whether Crown, School or Cleigy lands, and show the progress of surveys and settlement for the past three years : — Upper Canada.

The Crown Lands of New Brunswick have never been relied on as a source of revenue, and no systematic efforts have ever been made to dispose of them with rapidity. In 1S63 about 7, 5 5 1,909 acres had been granted, leaving 9,795,451 acres vacant, of which 6,714,198 acres are adapted for cultivation. About 200,000 acres are surveyed, and laid off in lots of 100 acres each. Government lands are disposed of by auction, at an upset price of 60 cents per ncre ; 25 per cent IS requu-ed to be paid down, and the balance in three equal anuual instahnents.

There was considerable activity in iS6^, which has con- tinued in 1866, owing to the purchase of lands for the sake of the timber growing on it. There are no officers in Nova Scotia entrusted with the protection of the fisheries. No territorial licences are issued for fishing stations, either on frjsh or salt water. The Government refuse to grant to private parties tracts that nave been or are likely to be used as fishinc; stations. The mineral lands of Nova Scotia are managed by officers not under the control of the Commis- sioner of Crown Lands. For an account of the system relating thereto, see article on " Mining." FRINGE EDWARD ISLAND. All the lands on Prince Edward Island having been granted by the Crown, by lot, in one day, to private individuals who were supposed to have claims to the Royal favor, there are no lands in the hands of the Government except a few estates that have been purchased from private owners. NEWFOUNDLAND Until of late no desire has been manifested by the people of Newfoundland to become owners of its soil, but witliin a few years past the frequent failure of the fisheries has caused more attention to be paid to the land. Several new lines of road have been made, and Mr. John H. Warren, the Surveyor Gene- ral, reports "much fine agricultural land " as being opened up. Nevertheless, in 1861 though 103 grants of land were made, they were chiefly of a few roods only, and none covered so mucli as 50 acres. The total area so granted was only 667} acres, and the total amount paid for it was only I553. 43 TTie Lumber Trade. THE LUMBER TRADE. CANADA. The Lumber Trade of Canada is of the highest importance to the country. As will be seen in the Trade Tables elsewhere printed, the exports of products of the forest have freouentiy approached, and in some years exceeded, these of the products of aericulture. The best general review of ihis industry is that read to the Detroit Convention by Hon. James Skead, of Ottawa. No country in the world produces such fine and large timber in merchantable quantities as Canada; the bpecics peculiarly adapted to commercial purposes being the white pine, (pinus strobus)^ and the red pine ( fiinus rn/'nt). Mr. Skead enumerates eight districts, chiefly river valleys, producmg pine of both tliese kinds, in addition to tamarac, black birch, ash, elm, spruce, white cedar, maple, oak, &c. These are : the Saguenay valley. 37,000 square miles ; the valleys between the Saguenay and .St. Maurice, 8,000: the St. Maurice valley, 31,000 ; the valleys between the St. Maurice and Montreal, 9,000 ; the Ottawa valley, 87,761; the valley between Kinpton and the Trent, 3,350; the Trent valley, 6,200: total, 161,911. To this should probably be added 65,000 square miles of pine country east of the Saguenay, and 60,800 square miles drained into Lakes Huron and Superior. Mr. Skead calculates that about 34,000 square miles in the western peninsula of Canada produce wholly or in part the finer hardwoods, as oak, elm, black walnut, maple, chestnut, hickory and ash, also sycamore and basswood, and s.iys that if a market could be obtained for the ornamental woods, Canada West would have a regular mine of wealth in her yet uncleared forests. The Crown Lands Department sells its " timber limits " at auction. Each limit is theoretically ten miles square. The limit holder becomes a tenant to the Crown at the fixed ground-rent bid, and f?ays. besides, a half-penny per cubic foot of squared timber, or five pence per place on each standajrd og, (13 feet long by si inches in diameter.) About 35 per cent of the standing pine is available for squared timber; 40 per cent more for saw- logs ; the remaining 35 per cent is undergrowth, useless or damaged. The average quantity of timber got out is stated, by Mr. Skead, to be as follows : — cubic feet Oak 1,585.856 Elm 1.438.707 Ash 149.93* Birch 93)7'4 Tamarac 987,063 cnbic feet White Pine 17,665,675 Red Fine 2,566,360 34,486,303 Sawed Planks, 350,000 m. ft.

The following is the official statement of the areas under licence, and the amounts accrued on timber and ground rentsin the several districts,— season 1865,— with the names of the Crown Timber Agents in each territory, whose duties are to grant licences to cut timber, collect the Crown dues, protect the Public Woods and Forests from trespass, and administer the Timber Regulations :— Territory.

The surface of New Brunswick was at one ti'me one unbroken lumber field, and the valley of the Bt. John contained what was thought to be an inexhaustible supply of the finest of white pine lumber. It is, however, now generally conceded that almost aH the fine white pine within reach of the tributa- ries of that river has been cut, and that very little remains excepting on the streams which flow into it Jrom Maine. The lumberers have, therefore, turned their attention more to the coarser pine still to ,i)e liad in larf[;e quantities, out of which sugar box shocks are made, and to the black spruce, which in iKew Brunswick attains considerable development. The principal exports of lumber firom New Brunswick for the past three years have been : — Boards, Plank and Scantling, over nine feet long, m. ft. Do. do do. not over 9 ft., m. it Clap-boards M . .

Of the Deals 30,701 m. ft. were sent to the United States ; 3,460 ml ft. only to England ; 5,658 m. ft to Cuba. Almost all the birch, pine and spruce timber goes to Eng The export duty on lumber is, on Deals and Battens exceeding 9 feet in length, on Boards, Scant- ling nnd Plank exceeding 9 feet in length and s inches square, 20 cents per m. feet superficial ; on Pine 'I'imijer, 20 cents per ton of 40 cubic feet ; on Birch, Spruce, Masts and Spars, 15 eents per ton. This duty realized $61,836 in 1863 ; {67,641 in 1864 : and{6i,903 in 1865. It replaces the " stumpage duty" formerly paid to the Crown for every tree felled. Lumberers now pay nothing to the Crown save licence money for ' imber berths." They apply for the territory they require, which is surveyed and sold by auction Etftev public advertisement. Timber berths seldom fetch more than the upset price of J4.00 per square mile, the Government not appearing to desire to raise much money from this source, but rather to encourage the production of lumber, and so to receive a revenue from export duties. Persons have the option of taking licence for one, two, or three years. NOVA SCOTIA. There are no rules in Nova Scotia under whieh timber licences can issue. To procure the right to the lumber, the land itself must be purchased from the Crown. (See Crown Lands) . The timber exported is chiefly spruce. The lumbering industry is not so important as in Canada or New Bruns- wick. The value of the total exports for 1864 and 1865 was :— 1864 1865 Woodware, Boards, &c 1424.560 $518,645 " "Deal Ends and Scantling 159.227 24,979 " Fire and Lathwood 108,648 97.859 •• Laths and Palings 939 4,495 ♦• - Shingles 36.35° 22,836 «' Spars and Knees 19.803 19,510 " Staves, Hoops and Shooks 7^,374 4S.8S5 •• Sweeps and Oars 6,776 " Timber, all 29,937 21.630 " Manufactured 24,716 13.449 Total $880,556 «776,034 NEWFOUNDLAND. The timber of Newfoundland b spruce of small size, and lumbering can hardly be said to exist as a distinct brandi of industry. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. There are no wild lumber lands in Prince Edward Island. The merchantable timber has been long exhausted. The deals exported fi-om the. Province are first obtained from the adjommg Pro- vinMs, and most of the timber for ship-building is bought m the yards of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. 44 Mines . MINES AND MINING REGULATIONS. CANADA. Fe\Tcountries present more frequent indications of mineral riches than Canada, but its mines have \ not yet had sufficient capital applied to them to make them productive. The Mining Kegulatioas of i the Province are distinct as it regards the precious and the inferior metals. ' Mining for the Precious Mktals is regulated by the Act 37 and 28 Vic, cap. 9, amended by 29 i Vic. cap. o, (1S65.) . .... ' Under these laws two gold mining divisions h.ive been erected : — fhe Chaudiere division, (south of Quebec), R. Pope, Inspector ; and the St. Francis division, (near bherbrooke), J. K. Oilman, In- spector. No person is allowed to mine without a licence, either a "Crown lands cold licence " for unsold Crown lands, fee $2 per month, or a " private lands gold licence " for private lands, ;^i per month, the miner firit obtaining the consent of the proprietor. Under the Crowr lands licence claims may be wotked as follows : — Alluvial mines. On a river or large creek, 20 feet front bv 50 from the water's edsje. On a small do., 40 by 50 feet, from centre of strcun. In a gully, 60 feet along the same and from hill to hill. On surface or hill side, 60 feet square. In case of tunnelling, the Inspector may grant a larger claim, or determine the size and place of claims in beds of rivers. Qltartz Mines. — 'lo each miner 100 feet along Itad, by 100 on each side. For companies, 25 feet additional along lead for every additional miner, but not to exceed 500 feet altoge- ther, Qv\KVz Crcjshi.ng Machines must be hcenccd ; must keep books and furnish returns ; licence fee $3.00 per month. These fees also apply to the De Lery Seigniory, — the Royalty payable under the J)o Lery patent hav'ng been lately commuted to this effect. The prmcipal regulations are, that all licensees shall make returns of their proceedings : and that the discoverer of a gold field is entitled to a free Hcense for one year. The oper.ition3 in gold mining have hitherto been principally carried on in the Chaudiere division, in alluvial diggings on the river Gilbert, in the Seigniory of Ripaud, Vaudreuil (De Lery). About jo met\ were at work there at the date of the last report, — June, 1866. Quartz mining is, however, now beginning to attract attention, and one or two companies are about erecting crushing mills. The gold extracted is estimated to have been In the Summer of 1863, ^40,000, or ^50,000 In the month of June, 1S64, SiOoo Year ending June, iS6j, ^140,000 to 150,000 Since 1863 no statistics have been publishrd, but it is thought that not more than $100,000 has been taken out, the great excitement respectuig quartz mines having caused a lull in alluvial opera- tions. Very little has been lone in the St. Francis district beyond preparatory operations. The gold mining branch of the Crown Lands Department is under the management of Mr. F. T. Judah, Ottawa. Inferior Metals. — Each mining tract in unsur^'eyed territory is to be of blocks of 200 or 400 acres. They must be surveyed by a Provincial Land Surveyor, and paid for at the value of |i per acre. In surveyed tovniships mineral lots are to be sold for Ji per acre when the lands are held at less than that sum, and for the same price as other lands in townships where they are held for more. Payment must, however, be made in cash. Progress of Mining in Canada.— Vfa are indebted to Mr. Charles Robb, Mining Engineer and Survevor, for the following statement of the progress of mining in Canada : — With the exception of of coal, tin, and a few of the less important metals, Canada has been found to produce most of the useful minerals ; while with regard to many of them, it may be safely asserted that the Province con- tarns within itself amply sufficient for domestic consumption, as well as for extensive foreign commerce. That coal does not occur in any of the settled or explored parts of the country, or probably in any part, may be regarded as a fully established fact ; but Canada is favourably situated in its proximity :it all points to the carboniferous regions of the United States and of Nova Scotia, and in the facility of conveyance afforded by its vast lakes, rivers and canals ; and, moreover, it contains within itself such ample supplies of wood, peat, and mineral oil, as will go far to compensate for the want of coal. In the so-called Laurentian formation, occupying a vast tract of country on the North side of the St. Lawrence, Iron ores occur in such quantity as may be considered practically inexhaustible. Tlie ore consists of the magnetic and specular ; the former yielding from 60 to 70 per cent, of pure iron. It IS the same species, and occurs in the same geological formation as the ores from Sweden and Norway, from which the celebrated Swedish iron is manufactured. The specular oxide, which is also abun- dant m Canada, is the kind which is so extensively mined at Marquette, on Lake Superior, and pro- duces, as is well known, a most valuable description of iron. Most of the localities where important discoveries of these iron ores have been made in Canada are fortunately situated on or near the banks of navigable rivers and canals, and the ore generally occurs immediately at the surface. Mining and smelting operations have been carried on pretty extensively at Marmora, in Hastings Countv ; and, at the present time, a powerful joint stock company IS engaged in establishing similar works at hidl, near Ottawa City, with the most flattering prospects of success. From other localities, much of the ore has for many years been exported into the United States at remunerative prices ; from ten mines, up to the year 1S60, 14,000 tons of ore had been thus disposed of. At Moisie River, on the North shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a company is now ^"?3ged in working, on a large scale, alluvial deposits of remarkably rich magnetic iron sand, from which the finest steel can be manufactured, by a very simple and inexpensive process. Copper, undoubtedly, constitutes the most important of the mineral treasures of Canada, and is destined to occupy a very important rank among its resources. The ores of copper are distributed over v-asttiicts of country in the north shores of Lakes Superior and Huron, in Central Canada, and in *^fi 1^'*^™ ^o^Tiships of Lower Canada; but few of the mines have as yet attained the point of profitable productiveness, and no complete statistics can at present be obtained. We subjoin, however, a lew notes which may be relied on with regard to the results at some of the most important of these mines, k '^ Canada Company's mines on Lake Huron, the average production for the last five years, tias been about 3000 tons of^ 20 per cent ore, with a force of from 250 to 300 hands ; the whole of this ore, which may be valued at 4^250,000 annually, is shipped to England, and this company's opera- tions are reputed to be highly remunerative. At many points on the north, or Canadian shores of Lake Superior, nch lodes of copper and lead (some of the latter being highly argentiferous), have been discovered ; but are for the most part as yet undeveloped.

The copper mines of the KastemTownslups have attracted mucli attention during the past SIX years ; and their value has been, in too rnany instances, unduly iiitlated by interested speculators ; but although in such cases, considerable disaiipointmcnt has been cxnciionccd by o»er- fsanguine capitalists who have embarked in such unf»ertaking», sufficient has been developed to iirove tli.it, |in several districts in this part of the country, copper mining may be carried on successfully on a large scale. The Acton mine, which for three or four years produced very largely with a very moderate (expenditure of capital, is now comparativi-iy unproductive. On the other hand, the Harvey I .Hill mine in Leeds, the St. Francis mine riear Richmond, the Lower Canada, Capcl and Albert I nines near Sherbrooke, and the Huntingdo'i mine in liolton, are all highly prosperous and proniising ' undertakings. During the year 1S65, the Harvey Hill mine yielded, with a very insignificant force, yya tons of io per cent, ore, worth about jS25,ooo, and during the present season the produce of this mine will reach 500 tons, worth $32,000. The St. Francis mine is also being systematically developed, although the number of miners employed is very small : a shaft has been sunk upwards of 240 feet, and levels driven to the extent of upwards of 600 feet. The ore incidentally obtained in thus opening up the ground, has averaged about 55 tons of 10 per cent, per month. At the Lower Canada mine, with a force of 75 hands, 480 tons of 6 per cent ore ;ire extracted monthly ; the Capel .-nine, with a force of 50 hands, has yielded about 500 tons from five to 6 per cent, in their explorating works from May to September of this year, while the Albert mine upon the same veins, and intermediate between the two last named, affords an eaually promising appearance. The Huntington mine in iiolton is even richer than those mentioned, yielding about 10 tons of 10 per cent, ore per fathom. tro/(/ probably ranks next in importance among the metallic productions of Canada ; the alluvial gold diggings of the Chaudiere Valley having been pretty extensively, though unsystematically, prosecuted during the last few years. In the Report of the Parliamentary Commission on the Canadian Gold Fields for 1865, the production of the previous year, in the Chaudiere division, is given as $116,000, which is estimated to yield Tour dollars per d.ay, as the wages of every man employed. The largest nuggets found have been worth about $300, and most of the alluvial gold h.as been obtained within a very limited area. In this district also, and at other parts of Canada East, gold-bearing quartz veins have been discovered of sufficient richness to pay a very handsome profit upon the cost of crushing and separating ; for which purpose several mills are now in process of construction and erection. In the counties of Hastings, Leeds, and Lanark, as also in the Ottawa district, marble, phosphate of lime, and plumbago, have been ascertained to be very extensively diffused. The latter mineral is now attracting much attention among mining adventurers in Canada, which bids fair to become the most important source of supply perhaps in the world. Recently processes whereby the plumbago may be economically and on the large scale separated from earthly impurities, have been introduced into Canada ; and one establishment of this kind, situated in the lownship of Lochaber, 25 miles below Ottawa City, is now in successful operation. The only other minerals of economic importance at present being worked to any extent in Caiiada, are building materials, roofing slates, and gypsum ; but of these we nave no statistics to offer. There are three quarries of roofing slate in the Eastern Townships, in successftil operation. Rock oil has been very largely produced in the townships of Enniskillen and Zonei in Canada West, but no statement of the actual amount produced can b e made . NEW BRUI^SWICK. ' The mining industry of New Brunswick is, as yet, in its infancy. The Provincial Geologist, De Gesner, reports it rich m several met.allic ores, such as iron and manganeze. Gold exists in places, copper in others, but no important workings are now going on. The brown building-stone of the head of the Bay of Fundy is a very important article of export. The following details relate to the mines now being worked : — The Albert Coal Mining Company" was incorporated in the year 1851. Its paid-up capital is ^238,720, in 5,968 shares of $40 each. The -quantity of coal shipped annually is from 15,00010 20,000 tons. In 1865, there were 15,790 tons shipped to the United States, 2,260 tons to St. John, and6o3 tons to Nova Scotia, amounting to 18,6^8 tons, valued at the Shipping Wharf in Hillsborough at #186,658. This Mine is situated in the i^arish of Hillsborough, Albert County ; was first discovered in 1S49, and was worked with but little f uccss for six or seven years, owing to a long and expensive lawsuit con- nected with it, the want of Ji.-r>:r.^ experience brought to bear on it, and the value of the material not being sufficiently vinderstood. Since 1857 it has been doing a good business, raising from 15,000 to 20,000 tons annually. The price of the coal for several years was f 15 per ton, delivt/'ed .at the Ship- ping Wharf; but for the laf'. two years it has ranged only from #9 to 5n per ton. The dividends, when the price of coal was high, were 115 per cent.; m 1865, .about 31 per cent. There has been considerable difference of opinion amongst scientific men, as to whether the material raised from this seam or vein is a true coal or an asphalt, or solidified oil. For commercial men, the term " Asphaltic Coal " (applied to it shortly after its discovery) appears to have more signifii cance than the term " Albertite," given it by scientific men, as it is applied in the same manner .as coa ' for the purpose of gas and oil making, while it has none of the properties of the asphalt of commerce to make it a substitute for that mineral. ' The gas made from this coal is of the most brilliant description. It produces about 15,000 feet to the t6n. The oil made from it is the best of all coal oils, and it yields about 76 gallons of rectified oil to the ton. The seam or vein lies about 25 or 30 degrees off the perpendicular : the depth now sunk is about 800 feet, and the average thickness, which is very irregular, is about feet. The Company have three very powerful engines for raising the coal and keeping the mines free of water. Several companies h.ave been formed, and shafts sunk in the immediate vicinity of the mines, for the purpose of finding this coal, but no seams of sufficient thickness have yet been discovered, although the parties are yet sanguine of success. Cut little of this material has been found out of Albert County, and none out of New Brunswick. Wm. Ellman, Esq., St. John, is Secretary to this Company. The Coal Mines at Grand Lake have been worked for thirty or forty years. The coal is bituminous, and most of it highly charged with sulphur. It is chiefly used in the Province for blacksmith's pur- poses, and a portion of it is shipped to Nova Scotia and the United States. It is found near the surface, in seams of about 20 inches thick, and while several shafts have been sunk to a considerable distance, no worlcing seams have, as yet, been found. In 1S65, 529 tons were shipped to the United States, valued at #2,599, and 453 tons to Nova Scotia, valued at #1,907 — or about #4) to #s pe"" ton. .tij 46 Mines. m % New Brunswick. — Continued. The " Albert Manufacturing Company," of Hillsborough, Albert County — This Com- pany was established about -1849 for the purpose of Mining and manufacturing Gypsum, which they did to a large extent, until the war in the United States prevented any being sent to the Southern States, where the consumption was the greatest. In 1S65, the Company shipped to the United States 4,900 tons of the Rock Gypsum, valued at 114,409 ; Ground Gypsum, 470 tons and 480 barrels, valued at J2,37S ; and of Plaster of Paris, 2,400 barrels, valued at 9(2,400. Of Plaster of Paris to Nova Scotia, 348 barrels, valued at ^400. The quantity of this mineral is almost inexhaustible, and the quality of the best description. The " International Manganese Company," formed for the purpose of mining Manganese, own lands near Sussex, on the line of railway. Their exports for 1865 were 33a tons, valued at $3,856. Several other Manganese Mines are being opened uji in the Province. There are several Companies who quarry Building Stones for export. The quantity shipped to the United States in 1865 was 6,975 tons, valued at $44,185. NOVA SCOTIA. The Gold and Coal Mines of Nova Scotia are now one of the chief sources of the wealth of the Province. Gold. — The earliest discovery of gold in the colony, made known to the public, was in i860, near Tangier Harbor, by one John Pulsiver, of Musquodoboit. _ In April, 1861, the Government formally took possession of the district and commenced laying off mining lots, of which about a hundred were soon leased. A Gold Commissioner was then appomted, and annual reports began to be issued, the first of which is for 1862. From these reports we collect the following statistics, wmch will illustrate the condition and progress of the gold mining industry of Nova Scotia : — 3^ S *^ p 3 " ■/ear ending Dec. 31, 1862 Year endmg Dec. 31. 1863 ;.. 9 months endmg Sept. 30, 1864.

During the nine months ending June 30th, 18C6, 16,977 02., 19 dwts., 20 grs. of gold were obtained. The total value of the gold reported as secured during these four years and a half was thus nearly a million and a half of dollars. This is, doubtless, below the truth. Mr. P. S. Hamilton, of Halifax, theChief Commissioner of Mines, says, in his report for 1865, that " everything indicates a large increase and profitable extension of profitable gold mining operations in " future years." The steady increase of the yield per man, and of the yield per ton of quartz crushed, would seem to justify this opinion. The Commissioner remarks that " the great band of metamorphic " rock which extends along tLe Atlantic coast the whole length of the Province is auriferous, and to "such a degree, that gold mining there can be carried on with handsome profits." C<7(7/.— The growth of the coal mining industry of Nova Scotia is best shewn by the following tabular statement of the tons of coal raised since 1827 :— Year. Tons. Year. Tons. Year. Tons. Year.

There were at the date of his last report thirty col- Jeries m operation, some only just opened, but with one or two exceptions, all with the best of pros- pects. In .-iddition to the territory of the General Mining Association, there were 31 square miles of country under coal mining leases, and 1,920 square miles under licence to explore.

There then were employed 350 hands, producing 1600 tons of bar iron within the year, of which 1500 were shipped to England. The Statute of Nova Scotia "of Mines and Minerals" provides that quartz mines (gold; shall in general be laid off in areas of 150 feet along a quartz lode by 250 feet across, in quadrilateral and rec- tangular shape.

Prospecting licences 'gold) cover an area not exceeding 100 acres, and cost 50 cents per acre for the first ten, and 25 cents per acre for the remainder. Bonds must be entered into to reccmpense private owners for damage done to their lands ; also to employ at least one man per day in developing the area. Quartz mills must be licenced, and keep books open to Government inspection. They must reserve for the Government a royalty of 3 per cent, of the produce of gold. Licences to explore for other than gold mines, valid for one year, cover tracts not to exceeds miles square, but not less than 2 miles in width, and cost $20. Bonds are required similar to those given in the case of gold licences. Licences to work cover two years. Leases of coal mines must expire on or before 25th August, 1886. Leases of mines other than coal or gold are for 21 years. Royahy is pay- able quarterly on minerals "in marketable condition" of s per cent, on all ores and minerals, except pold, iron and coal — of 8 cents per ton on every ton of iron, and 10 cents per ton on every ton of coal.

" Accidents" killed 62, and injured 64 persons during the year. The Erie and Ontario Railroad has been rebuilt and re-opened during tlie past summer, but we have no ofticial figures lespecting it.^ The Canadian Railway gunge is 5 feet 6 inches, the American being 4 feet 8V inches. The exceptions are the Prescott and Ottawa, Grenville and Carillon, and St. Lawrence' and Industrie Roads, which have the American guagc, and the Montreal and Champlain Railway, which has a third rail from the St. Lambert Jtmction, to oonnect with Montreal, through the Victoria Bridge. NEW BRUNSWIC1£. There are two railways in operation in New Brunswick — the " European and North American" and the " New BrunswicK and Canada" lines. The former of these is a Public work, and the Province -owns stock in the latter. The St. Stephens Branch Railway, 18 miles long, will probably be opened towards the close of the year.

The New Brunswick and Canada Railway was originally projected for the purpose of connecting Quebec with an open seaport at St. Andrews ; and when the Grand Trunk was opened to Riviere du Loup, the intention was to connect with it, thereby continuing the line from Richmond, the present terminus, via Florenceville, Giand and Little Falls. Distance from Riviere du Loup to Richmond, about 185 miles. The line is owned by the Debenture holders, who reside in England. The net revenue of the E. & N. A- Railway is thus j of i per cent, of its cost, and that of the N. B, & C. Railway about the same. NOVA SCOTIA. The Nova Scotia Railway is a Provincial Work. It runs from Halifax, on the Atlantic, to Windsor, on the Bay of Fundj;, with a branch to Truro, whence it is being extended to Pictou, on the Oiilf of St. Lawrence. It will eveutualiy connect with the Intercolonial line. It was opened to Windsor and Truro, both in 1859, since which time its gross earnings have steadily increased from $102,877 ill 1859 to $183,954 in 1865. It, nevertheless, only just pays working e.cpenses, the net revenue even in the latter year being but one half of one per cent, on the cost of the road ; so that although it is undoubtedly of great advantage to the Province, the Public exchequer has to make good 5} per cent, of the interest on the bonds. The following are the statistics relating to the line for the year ending 30th Sept., 1863 :-» Length of line (Halifax to Truro, 61 ; Halifax to Windsor, 45—13 common) 93 miles.

UPPER CANADA. It is no easy matter to make an accurate statement as to the number and tonnage of vessels, owned in Canada, for the system of registration is imperfect both on the part of the private owners and the public officers. The most reliable record of the Shipping of the Lakes and River St. Lawrence is that contained in the liegister prepared by Captain Tliomas, for the use of underwriters, and kindly placed at our service liy one of the Agents of the Western Insurance Company, (Limited), of England. This record we condense into the following table : — Steamers . . . Propellers . . liarkeiitines lirigantines . Sloops Schooners . . Total.

By the aid of table i4,T& N returns, 1864 's, we are enabled to estimate this at 75 sailing, and 15 steam vessels of 1,400 and 500 tons respectively, making for Upper Canada, besides barges, a grand total of ::— Steam vessels — No. 68 tons. 23,206 Value, say $1,139,700 Sailing vessels— " 454 " 62,234 " i.537..3oo Total U.C 522 83,440 $2,697,000 • LOWER CANADA. At the Port of Montreal, the register under the Provincial Act shews a total of 75 steamers, and 355 vessels not stcanier.s, with a tonnage of 6,265, and 31,737 tons respectively. These are chiefly tugs, dredj^es, scows and barges, engaged altogether in the inland navigation. Perhaps they should be almost entirelv left out of this account, which is only intended to include vessels fitted for the navigation of the Sea or of the Lakea, (which latter are indeed inland seas, and the cr.ift plying upon which are, in many cases, adaptuible to .ra'.t water navigation.) Under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1864, there arc registered in the port t>i, steamers, of 15.764 tons, and 148 sailing vessels, of 28,638 tons. Six of the sailing vessels of 4,594 tons are owned abroad, and should perhaps be taken off for the purposes ot this account. This would leave 207 vessels of 39,808 tons. In Quebec the register shows :— Of 50 tons and over 472 vessels, 83,123 tons Of less tlwii 30 tons 287 " 9,758 tons On the north and south coasts of the river and Gulf below the port of Quebec, (which extends to Bic), about 170 vessels are owned, with 12,300 tons. Adding all these figures together, we have as a total for Lower Canada, which is probably not very wide of the mark, 1,136 vessels, of 144,989 tons. These include the fleet of Canadian Ocean Steamships. NEW BRUNSWICK.

They must, however, be looked at with this undtrstauding, that in years when sliips are in clcmand in England, New Brunswickers sell, and the number of sliips registered decreases. The increase in the tonnage registered in the cobny is not, therefore, a reliable guage of the prosperity of the ship-owning interest NOVA SCOTIA.

SHIPBUILDING. Shipbuilding is a favorite industry in all the British North American Colonies. Owing principally to the abundance and excellence of timber, but partially to other causes, ships can be built here much more cheaply than in Europe, and 40 per cent cheaper than even in the United States. There is scarcely a port on the Lakes or the river St. Lawrence where several vessels have not been built. It would appear, however, from the following table, which shows the number and tonnage i)f vessels built at each Port for a number of years past, that Port Dalhousie takes rank as the chief Shipbuilding place in Upper Canada, while as is well known Quebec holds the pre-eminence in Lower Canada. There is, however, the difference that all the ships built on the Lakes are for Canadian owners ; those built at Quebec are almost exclusively sent to Europe for sale. Until of late the English market was alone open to the Quebec shipbuilder ; but several ships have recently been sold to France. ■Jl 56 Ship Building. HZW IIRUNSWICIC.

The vessels registered since ist May, 1855, were measured under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, which reduced the tonnage by about 10 per cent, as compared with the Act previously in operation. About one-half of the tonnage built in the Province is sold .innually in the English market. The remainder is held in the Province. The system which isrevails so e.xtensively at Quebec, under which Merchants and Bankers make advances on vessels during their building, and thus derive more profit out of the industry than the Shipbuilders themselvc , no longer obtains to any great extent at St. John. Vessels sent home for sale are now almost .ilways placed in the carrying trade on their owners' account, if they do not meet with ready sales at limits, NOVA SCOTIA.

Ship-building is always active in Prince Edward Island. The lumber fit for ships is almost exhausted, and the Islanders have to go into the v.irds of the adjacent Provinces for timber, but they nevertheless manage to overcame this disadva.itac;e, and withal build ships more cheaply than the people on the other side of the Straits of Northumbcrhnc f;om whom they buy material.

This Company was formed in the year 1853, and its first steamers were employed in the transport service in the Crimea during the war with Russia. The first trip to Canada was made in 18^4 ; but the regular Mail .Service only commenced m 1856. The service was then over a fortnight, but in 1859 it was increased to a weekly line, and ha$ now run with great regularity ever since.

IW: I |l i POST OFFICE DEPARTMENTS OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. INTRODUCTION. It is needless to offer any comment on the growth of the Post Office in British America, the statistics, which will be found with the brief synopsis of the Rules and Regulations, speak so plainly i for its progress. The Postal accommodation of these Colonies, especially Canada, compares favoura- i biy with that of England or the United States, and,^^ in advance of that of most of tne continental countries of the old world. Besides our internal cbmmunications by means of railways, steamboats, ! stages, horse-sleighs, dog-sleighs, waggons, men on horse-back, and on snow-s)ioes, we have Atlantic ' Mail Steamers from Quebec and Portland to Liverpool, the passages of which are as rapid as those of | any other line afloat; andwc have just begun a line to Cuba and the West Indies; — the pioneer steamship " Victoria" having sailed from Quebec 8 Sept., i866. Perhaps it may not be uninteresting to notice here the time gained by difference of speed between steamers and railways and the older methods of mail conveyance which were adopted in by-gone days of Colonial infancj'. About the oldest record that we have of mails being despatched to England from Canada, may be found in a newspaper called the Herald, published in Quebec,' under date of 34th November, 1788, now 78 years ago.

It would appear from this notice that the mail was closed at Quebec three days before it left that city, and that it took tliirty days to reach New York. How long a time elapsed before its arrival in Enelanil v.-o do not know, but may form some opinion by turning up tho same paper under date of tlie 8th JDecember same year, when we find that His Britannic Majesty's Packet _" Tankerville," Captain Bell, arrived at New York on Saturday, after a passage of 54 days. At this rate of travel it would take 84 days for a mail to reach Eu^land. In 1853 before railways were m peneral operation in Canada, it took the mails loj days to pass from Quebec to .vindsor ; now the mails occuiv/ only 24 hours in transit between these points. Steamboats began re.qularly to cross the Atlantic in 1841. In 1851 the Post Office was transferred from the Imperial to the Colonial Government. The same year witnessed the reduction of letters to a unilbrm rate of 5 cents, and the introduction of postage stamps. In 1835 the Money Order System was established. In 1856 the first_ voyage was made to the St. Lawience by the. Canadian Xane of Steamers. In 1857 the Canadian Line began a weekly service. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, CANADA. General Post Office.

NEW BRUNSWICK, The Municipal system in Now Brunswick is, as yet, very imperfect, St, John being the oizy |)l;ico whero tho Corporation exercises its functions freely and noliecably, Tho syttcm of taxation there i.s peculiar. It is provided that " tho value of all real and " personal estate and joint stock shall bo deemed to be, and shall bo put down for taxation '' at oiie-lifth of tho real value thereof," And "'a portion of tlio assessments for working, '' repairing, iiltcring, and improving the streets. (lorict(m is nl.so incorporated, Thieo of tho Counties in t'lo Trovinco— viz,. York, .Sunbury, and Cnrlcton— havo adopted tho Municipal system, but few particulars of their position aro obtainable. Thodel^tof i'ork is ■S7,920, tlio city of Fredericton l)(>iiig liable to tho county lor .S2,;'>13, a portion thoreof. Tho counties not under the Municipal system havo tho amount of their taxes annually determined by r'l' 'r respeetivo Quarter f^essions, Tho Assessors assess tho amount luiyalilo by each per.son \ t;cal)ly tho samo as in St. John, with this exception, that ono-cightu of the wholo umouut niiist bo levied as a Poll Tax, NOVA S('t)TlA. Tho Municipal law of Nova Scotia is very oi)mi)lctc. but tlic people do not seem irdincd to adopt tho system. Even in Halifax (ho sttects aro repaired and other necessary improve- ments paid for out of special funds, which is done to evade tho law. pioviding (hat certain judicial cxpen>ies and otiier iiiattcrs properly niuiiiciii.d shall be paid for l.y tho city, if it has funds, but if not, l)y tho Province. Tho taxation is thercl'oro very light. Tho (iuartcr BossiouH still manage almost all tho local business of tho various counties.

Wo fiuil ill tho great Charter of Ilcnry III, which was a cuntirmation of tho famous JMiigna Churta of Kins John, his iircdcccssor, nn cxpross enactment havin;; for its object tlio C£ tiiblibliiiicnt of w)u/(»v)!/'7 in weights antl measures. This was in I2(ii'. Avoirdupois and Troy weights do not at this tiino appear to have been tlio standards of weij,'ht in England. Tho iirst mention of avoirdupois weiglitin tlie Ennrlish statutes is to bo found in a statute of Edward III, anno 13;15. The wcitrht of tho xilvcrr.cnnv sterling, was tho basis of tho system of li!ijii. This penny was Iho one-two liundrcd and fortieth part of tho Tower pound, and was equal in weipht to .'i2 kernels of wheat. (51 Henry III.) But tho lan?ruago of tho law itself is so sinRularly precise, and tho system of uniformity as to coins, weights and measures, which it pres- cribes, is BO ingenious, that tho words them- selves deservo quotation : — "By tliu ooinont of tho wholo realm of Enslanil, tho " ni(;;isuro of tin: Khipr was mailo ; thi.t ia to say : tli:it an " Kiiirliih iicr.iiy called a utprliiif; rouiul, and without any " cliiniinir, i-haU «c'k'h32 wheat corns in tho iiiiil.tol! tho " car, anil 20 jicnco dn mako an ounc<', and twjlvo ounc( s " oni! puuiul, and eight pounda di uiakj a galhiu of whu', "andelirht pallona o( wi\ic! d'> raako a Londoa buehel " which ia tho e.ghtli part of a cxuarter." Tho fimdamcntal law of weight and mea- sures in England at this day is tho statute 5 Geo. IV, cap. 74, which is in a great measure a declaratory act, but of which tho provisions aro so important that they arc hero recapitu- lated. Sec. 1— Declares that from and after tho 1st May, 1825, th'j ytrai.rrlit lino or distaiico b( tweon tho centres (»f tho two jiointa in tho gold Btuda in tho Htraight brasa rod now in tho custody of tho Clerk of tlio JIouko of Comnionn, wliercou tho words and Crrurcs "Standard Tard 17CU " aro engraved, f hall ho, and thu samo is licroby declared to be, tho original and penuino Btanilard of that ineaJ5Uro of Icujlli or lineal citcnElon called a yard ; and that tho saiiio straight lino or dietanco between tha centres of the Baidtwo points in tho said gold studs in tho said brass rod, tho brass bcinsf at tho temperature of C2 ' of Fahren- h'.it's tlierniom'>tor, shall bo and is heri-by denominated tho " Impcrkili^laudard yard," and shall be, and ish' roby declared to be, tho tmit or only stamUird moasnro of ex- tension whcre-frora or whereljy all otlier measures of extension whatsoever, whether tho earao bo Ihieal, snner- ficial, or solid, shall bo derived, computed and nacertaiuud ; and all measures of length eliall bo taken in parts or multiples, or certain proportion, of tho said standard yarcl and that one tliird part of such yard shall bo a foot, luul tlio 12th part of eucli foot shall bo an inch, and that tho polo or peroli shall contain fivo such yards and a half, tho furlong 2:'0 such yards, and tho'milo 1760. Sec. U.— This section provides that tho yard, if lost, &c. , may bo restored by refercnoo to tho length of pendulum vibrating seconds of moan time in tho latitude of London, in a vacuum at tho level of tlio sna, in tho proiiortion of 3ii inelies to 3D inches, and ouo tliousimd threu hundred ninety tlirec-ten thousandth parts of an inch.

Sec. 23— iti Acts or parts of Acts relating to dircrs weights aud measures ui Great Britain repealed. This act was followed by tho 4th and 5th William IV. Cap. 4'.), which appears chiclly to havo been intended to provide for tho means of distributing standard weights and mea- sures ; but its provisions seem to havo been insufficient or imperfect, sinco it was repealed tho following year by tho 5th and Gth William IV. Cap. i)i5, (1835.) This last act renders unnecessary identity of shapo or form in stan- dards, and provides for their ailjustment. Ono of its most important features is that it abo- lishes, the Wincheister &i«/ie/, ameasuro traced back to tho reign of Edgar, anno 972, which derives its namo no doubt Irom tho fact that tho standard was by law kept at Winchester; tho ticotchcLL AND ALL LOCAL AND CUSTOMARY measures. Imperial measures as established by tho 5th Georgo IV, aro tho only legal naeasuros recognized or " parts and multiples thereof." Tho binary division is affirmed, and tho i i I l-l(Jth and l-3iIndaro specilically de- signated as tho only legal aliquot parts. But there is a somewhat singular proviso attached to tho Gth clause, it is this:— "Provided al- '■ ways that rothing herein contained shall " prevent tho sale of a)i,'/ articles in una vessel '• whoro such vessel is not represented as " containing any umountof Imperial measure, " or of any li.xed loetil or customary measure " heretofore in use." Tho evidence Kiven before tho Committoo of tho House of Commons, tho report of which Committee was presented to the IIouso fo recently as tho loth July last, (18G2,) would tend to the inforenco that notwithstanding tho strenuous ctlbrts of all legislation to reduce weights and measures to positive and practical uniformity, extreme irregularity and disorder still prevail upon this subject in Groat Britain. *ThG articles on tho wolghta and raeiisurea of EngUnd, tho United States, Canada and France aro condensed from a paper by K. S. M. Bouchettc, Esq., Commissioner of Customs, Ottawa. U.VITED BTATK3 When British settlers colonized Virginia in tho reign of Elizabeth, and tho Pilgrims emi- grated to New England in 1020, tlio weights and measures of tho parent state were natu- rally imported by them, and afterwards uni- ver>ally adopted in 'lie then North American Colonies. Deriving their system from such a source, it is scarcely to bo expected that any wide diflcrences should exist between tho British OP AMEUICA. and tho American systems of weights and measures — indeed both countries havo a common standtird of extension, the yard, and a common standard of weight. They had also a common standard of ca^;f(Ci7/Mintil IS'JO, when an Actof tho Britisli, Parliament, excluding all other measures of this order, adopted as tho standard unit of eapa<'ity tho "Imperial .Standard Gallon," etiual to 277 (274-1000) cubio inches, both for Weights and Measures.

But proviso attached —"Provided al- contained shall clca in an;/ vcsnd represented as perial measure, tomary measure tho Committee report of which the House so t, (18G2,) would vithstandingtho ution to reduce ve and practical •ity anddisiirJcr u Great Britain. oro condonued from of weights and lutrics have a 1, the yard, and n standard of tol'thor.ritisli er measures of andard unit of idard Gallon," nehcs, both for United Statl . op Auerioa.— Continued. li(]nid and dry substances, thus doing away with the wino gallon of 2ol cubio inches, tho ale gallon of 282 cubio inches, and tho com j gallon of 272 cubio inches. I The old English wino gallon is tho only I recognized standard of liquid measure in tho I United States. It contaius b.3oJ pounds j avoirdupois of distilled water, at tho tempera- ture of about 39® Fahrenheit, its capacity i being, as before stated, Z>1 cubio inches, which is almost exactly equal to a cylinder of 7 inches in diameter and (i inches deep. The dry measure is tho Winchester bushel. It contains 2,150.43 cubic inches, and holds 77.G274 pounds avoirdupois of distilled water at tho temperature of its greatest density, and with tho barometer at 30 inches. Its capacity is represented by a cylimlcr 18.5 inches in diameter and 8 inchea deep. Tho hundred-weight has been reduced, as in Canada, to 100 pounds, and tho ton to 2000 pounds, but tho old hundred-weight of 112 pounds, and ton of 2,240 pounds, seem still to bo used under tho designation of tho lonrj hundrcd-wcijht and tho long tun; but these, it is presumed, aro merely permissive, tho reduced weights being tho standards. With tho few difTcrenees pointed out, re- sulting from comparatively recent legislation in both countries, tho weights and measures of tho United States are similar to, and it may bo said identical with, those of England. Both countries have tho samo mile, yard, foot, and inch, tho samo ncre, tho same pound avoirdupois, and pound Troy. FRANCE. At tho time of tho French Revolution, tho weights and measures were found to bo in tho greatest confusion, and tho wholo system of weights and measures, then existing in France, was suppressed, to give place to a new metrology established by tho law of tho 7th April, 1795. With tho Bishop of Autun, bettor known as Prince do Talleyrand, originated the idea of a new sj'stem of weights and measures, founded upon tho principle of a single and univcrml standard, and it was he, it appears, who first submitted to tho National Assembly in 1790 tho project of a decree upon tho sub- ject. Tho adoption of a unit, which would at once furnish a standard for measures of length, weight, and capacity, suggested itself as tho great desideratumj and tho miitre was chosen as that unit, with its decimal parts, the initre itself being tho standard measure of lengtii. surface, and solidity ; tho cubic doi-imetro. or tenth part of tho metro, of distilled water, weighed in vacuo, at tho temperature of its greatest density, being the hUoijrammc or standard of weight, whilst the space occupied by tho cubio decimetre of water became tho litre or standard of capacity. Tho momentous question, however, tho kcs-stono of tho wholo fabric, was tu :ix tho length of tho metro upon somo moro philoso- phical basis than that upon which somo parts of tho old system rested, in whicli. the stan- dard of length, for instance, was, it is stated, taken fromTtho length of Charlcmairnc's foot, as tho Greeks had before them adopted as their standard of that measure the length of t\w foot of Hercules. To examine into this important question, a commission was appointed by tho National Assembly, composed of some of tho most emi- iicnt members of tho Academy of Siionocs of France. Bord.a, La Grange— who luis been ili'signated as tho Newton of France— -La Place, Mongc, .and Condorcct, eotnposcd this commission, which, on tho 19th March. 17'J1, reported in favour of selecting tho fra"tional part of tho meridian — /.e., tlio lO-uiilliontli I'nrt of tho quarter of tho meridian, instead of tho length of tho pendulum, as the standard unit sought for. Tho admeasurement of tho aro of tho meridian was eventually completed \>\ l)e- lambrojmd Mechain. The aucuriicy of their respcctivo operations will remlily bo con- ceive.!, when it is stated that, after a series of triangulations and levels, over a country iijiwards of UOO miles in extent between Dun- kirk (ind Barcelona, upon two bases, tlio one "f i'',07o.90 toises, tho other of (5.0Ui'i.25— the hitter base, though at a distaneo of 400 miles Iroin tho former, when calculated by inferenco from tho chain of triangles between them, differed from its actual measurement less than ono foot. Tlio standard metre thus definitively adopt- ed is equal to 433 296-1000 lines, or 30 94-100 inches of tho old French measure, and corres- ponds nearly to 39 37-100 inches English measure. Tho miitro is the centre of the French system of weights and measures. From it aro formed in decimal ratios two scales, tho one ascending and the other descending, and it furnishes tho standard not only for linear, superlicial. and solid measure, but it also, with its deeimal parts, becomes, tho standard of weight and capacity. This ascending and descending scale has its application to all t!io forms of measurement, and by means of Latin and Greek prclixes you at once know whether you aro dealing with multiples or divisions of tho standard, the Latin prclixes being indicative of tho de- scending scale, whilst the Greek aro applied to the ascending scale. Thus wo have, with referenco to measures of length, capacity, and weight, tho following nomenclature :— Lena h. Tho Millimiitre or 001 of the Miitro. .4 Centimijtro " , )1 (1 Decimetre " . .

It would be impcssiblo to devise a deci- mal system more perfect and harmonious in it.s parts, coupled with a nomenclature so ex- pressive of tho multiple or division of the unit of weight or measure it represents : as remarked by Mr. Adams in his admirable report to CouCToss on this subject, in 13i;l,"no two words express tho same thing, and no two things aro siguiHed by tho same word." Beautiful, however, as this system is ad- mitted to bo in theory, it was, from its incoi)- tion, met with tlio most overwhelming diilicultics in practice, A population of mil- lions, accustomed for ages to a particular mode of domcstio trade, could not readily give up tho use of the weights and measures with which they wero familiar, and they so pertinaciously clunjr to their old system, that tho Government of Franco was forced to make, at diU'erent times, such concessions to popular usages, and so to modify tho laws, ¥ R^ycE.— Continued, that tho result, for nearly forty years, was to produco enhanced confusion m rcferenco to tho weights and measures of tho country. It was not until tho reign of Louis Phillippo that this great metrical system may bo said to havo been, as a whole, imposed upon Franco. Tho law of tho 4th J uly, 1837, which abrogated tho decree of tho 12th February, 1812, permit- tingr under certain restrictions the uso of olj weights and measures with their former de- signations, utterly swept away the old systom, so far as a legal enactment could do it, and bodily substituted in its place the decimal metric system, which I havo just described, Tho uso, however, of tho old weights and measures was tolerated until the 1st January, 1810, after which dato heavy penalties wcro attached, not only to tho uso of such old weights and measures, but oven a reference to them in contracts was prohibited, and a notary who should in any deed of conveyance deseribo lands by tho abrogated terms cf measurement instead of using tho language of tho new metrology, was not only lined, but tho deed itself was declared to bo null and void. Such is tho present stringency of the law upon this subject in Franco. Tho FVcnch metrical system now prevails also in Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Por- tugal, Switzerland, Greece, and Brazil. CANADA. TVo now como to tho weights and measures .as established by law in Canada. The lead- ing statute upon tliis subject is an Act of tho Legislature of Lower Canada, tho SOth Geo. III., cap. 7, which is to bo found in tho Con- solidated Statutes of Lower Canada, cap. C'.'. Under this, three sets of various kinds of beams and scales, and four sets of standard weights and measures wcro imported from Engl.ind, f.jd these wero declared to be the standard weights and measures of the Pro- vince. The weights and measures thus imported, were all made of brass, and consisted of— 1. AvoinlupoM weights in sets as follows : From ono drachm to four ounces.

UPPER CANADA. The Upper Canada Common Scliool syaten-. was originally introduced in 1816, but may be said tn have been reconstructed, remodelled, and placed on its present efficient footing by the Rev. Dr. Rycr- son, the actual head of the Upper Canada Education Department. Its principal fr;aturo.s were bor- rowed from New York and Massachusetts, Ireland and Clermnny, all so nuxlil'ied and blended as to suit the temper and condition of the country, and dilTering in several particulars from any other public school system on this continent. The-ic points of diiret;ence are brietly as follow: — i. It provides for religious instruction. 2. The head of the Department is a permanent, and not a political ofTicer. 3, Taxation for its support is voluntary on the part of the municipality. 4. No fori,545,ooo, an increase of $60,813 compared with the available revenue of 1864. In 1S65, under the Common School sy.stem, there were 4,303 schools in operation, .ind 4,721 teachers employed, 2,930 of whom were males, and 1,791 females. Attending; these there were 383,652 scholars, of whom 204,320 were boys, and 179,332 were ^irls. The Supciintcndeut, in liis report, states that " a larger number of girls than boys attended private schools, and that he deeply regrets to observe that the number of children reported as not attending any school is 42,141." The liighest salary paid in a county to a teacher was §630; the lowest, 184. The highest salary paid in a city was $1,350 ; the lowest, #200. The highest in a town, Si,ooo ; the lowest, V140, The highest in a village, t6oo ; the lowest, #270. The average salaries of male teachers in counties, with- out board, was izto ; of female teachers, :ri69 : i" cities, of male teachers, i-^^z — of female teachers, S241 ; in towns, of male teachers, ^'447 — of female teachers, 265 ; in villages, of male teachers, .'?3'-:7— of female teachers, i'192. A small increase on the preceding year in the average s.alaries of teachers. It is gratifying to observe that of the 4,303 Common Schools in question, no le.'s than 3,595 are entirely free, and that in the remaining 708 the highest lee ch.arged is 25 cents a month. We also notice that History is taught in 1,557 of these .schools. Book-keeping in 1,757, Mensur- ation in 91S, Algebra in 1,520, and Geometry in i,,ii2. The number of schools in which the daily exercises were opened and closed with prayer is further stated to have been 2,889 ; and the number of schools in which the Bible and Testament were read, 3,036. These religious readings are purely vo- iLintary with Trustees and Teachers ; and no child can be compelled to be present if its jiarents or guardian object. Roman Catholic Separate Schools. The Upper Canada School Law also provides for the establishment and maintenance of Roman Catholic Separate Schools, of which in 1865 there were 153 with 200 teachers, (81 of whom were m.alcs) and 18,101 pupils; the average attendance being 8,518. The expenditure for teachers came to «^33,- 953: lor maps, books, &c., $721 ; and for other purposes, to $11,544. Towards this sum the Lc,!;is- lature gave a grant of f 9,365, based on the average attendance as compared with that of the pulilic schools in the same localities ; the Trustees levied a total rate of $23,788, fees, subscriptions, &c., making up a further sum of Si2,So2, a total amount of §46,219. The Superintendent adds, that the statistics "present a gratifying increase in all the higher sub- jects of a common school education ;" and also show " the increased number of schools in which maps, black-boards, Sic, are used." The lirammar Schools are the next most important fe.iture in the Upi)er Canada School system, being the intermediate link between the Common School and the Academy and College. The wlinie number of schools reported in 1865 was 104, with 5,754 pupils. The amount of the expenditure lor Head Masters' and Teachers' salaries came to $81,562; buildings, rent and repairs to if 5,251 ; maps, apparatus, prize book.s, etc., ^2,229; fuel, text books, etc., ^5,197; or a total of ^94,240. Towards meeting this there was a Legi'-lative grant of ^53,205 ; a sum of )? 14,963 from the Miinicii)alil!i.'s ; !r 18,542 from fees, and a balance from the previous ye.ar ; bringing the total contribution up tol:'iix),654. The pupils of the Gr.ammar Schools are grounded in Latin, Erench, and Greek, Arithmetic, Ali'icbia, and Euclid, the Ancient and most of the Modern Histories coinraonly taught in schools ; the Elements of Natural History, Natural Philosophy, and Goalogy, Physiology, Chemistiy, Book-koeping, ]_)r.iv,- ing, and Vocal Music.

There were 146 Separ.ite or Protestant Disi^cnticnt Schools in operation in 1S65, with 4,763 pupils, as also 37 Catholic Separate Schools in localities where the Protestant element prevailed, with 1,320 pupils. The Normal Schools have .-ilready been alluded to. Two of them, the McGill ^English) and the J.icques Cartier (French)_ arc situated in Montreal, and one, the Lav.il, (French) in Quebec. The course of sudies followed in them and their purport is similar to that of the l/pper Province School. In the session of 1864-65 there were 56 scholar-teachers in iltcndance at the Jacques Cartier School ; 5 at the McGill, which also pave instructions to 60 lady teachers, and 43 at the Laval School, where were also 55 lady teachers. Since their establishment in March, 1857, the number of diplomas granted by the Normal Schools through the superintendent have been : — Jacques Cartier School — To teach in an Academy 17 ; Model School St ; Elementary or Primary School 76— Total 175. McGill— Diplomas for Academies— teachers 6 ; lady teachers 4 ; Model School Teachers 13; lady teachers 100; Elementary School teachers 27 ; lady teachers 207 ; Total teacliers 46, lady teachers 311. Laval — Diplomas for Academies, teachers 13; Model .School te.ichers 68; lady teachers 82; Elementary School teachers 27 ; lady teachers 95 ; Tot.nl teachers loS, lady teachers 187. These figures, therefore, show th.at since the introduction of the Normal School system 817 diplomas have been granted authorising the recipients to teach an Academy, a Model School or an Elementary School, and as 503 of the number are known to be er.za'j;ed m the work, the result, joined to their qualifications and improving effect on the mass, must be niphly satisfactory. The labors of the Board of Examiners must not be lost sight of in tliis connection. In 1865 they granted 639 diplomas authorizing the holder to te.ich in Lower Cannd.i, subject to the condfitions already mentioned. Of these diplomas 9 were granted for ist class Academies, and 4 for 2nd class Academies ; 20 for ist class Model Schools ; 2 for 2nd class do. : 312 for 1st class Elementary Schools, and 280 for _2nd class do. The principal Colleges and Universities in the Lower Province are the McGill College University, Montreal ; Laval University (Catholic) Quebec ; the St. Hyacinthe, Montreal, Masson and L'Assomption Colleges ; the Bishops' College, (Church of England 1, Lenno.Kville; the St. Francis College, Richmond; and the Nicolet, Three Rivers, and several other Colleges and Institutions, the revenues of which are mainly derived from landed property. Their collective revenue may amount to from $150,000 to $200,000 a-year irrespective of fees, etc. NEW BRUNSWICK. The Governor in Council, with the Chief Superintendent of Schools, constitute the Provincial Board of Education in New Brunswick. The Chief Superintendent has a salary of twelve hundred dollars ($1200) a year, besides travelling expenses and contingencies, with a Clerk at a salary o six hundred dollars ($600) a year. The Superintendent has the general supervision and direction of the Inspectors, the Training and Model Schools ; and the Parish Schools must adopt all necessary measures to promote education throughout the Province, and report annually. The Province is divided into four districts, to each of which is appointed an Inspector of Schools, who receives a salary of $1, 000 a year, including travelling expenses. The duties of the Inspectors are, to visit and examine each school in their districts at least twice a year, to note the qualifications of teachers, the number and jjrogress of pujiils, the discipline, system, and effect of Instruction, state of school requisites, supply of books and maps, and the condition of the school-houses, &c., &c. ; and to make an annu.il return in each year of the school statistics in their respective districts. Three Trustees are annually elected in each Town and P.nrish, whose duties are to divide their Pari.shes into School Districts ; give any licensed teacher authority to open a school in a district where the inhabitants have provided a school-house, and secure the necessary salary ; and may suspend or displace any Teacher for incapacity or improper conduct.

The average attendance to the num- ber of enrolled is 52 per cent. The whole amount expended by the Government on Common and Superior Schools for the year ending the 3i3t Oct., 1865, was 1^91,373 92 cts., and by local districts, for the same period, $101,114 9' cents. The University of New Brunswick was originally established as the College of New Brunswick in 1800 ; incorporated by Royal Charter in 1828, under the name of " King's College, Fredericton ;" and re-organized by an amended Charter in i860, under the above title. It has five Professors. There is a library, containing upwards of 3,000 volumes, and an extensive assortment of apparatus. The library and apparatus have cost $20,000, The total income of the University is about $13,000 per annum, of which amount the Government pays $8,844.40; the balance consists of rent of Jands, interest of money invested, and tuition fees. The expenses are about $11,500 per annum. There are some other educational institutions in the Province, of which the Mount Allison Aca- demy is the chief; the Rev. Humphrey Pickard, D.D., is President. The number of students dur- ing the year is 210, viz. : in the College, 23 ; in the Academy, male branch, iii ; and in the female branch, 76; average attendance daily, 115. The Government pays this Institution $2,400 annually. Besides those already mentioned, are the Madras School, Grammar Schools, Roman Catholic School's, Miltown Academy, Presbyterian Schoo: ■, .ti.d many others, all receiving support from Government. The whole amount expended by the Government for education in the year ending 31st October, 1S65, was $113,940 38 cts. Nova Scotia. Common Schools,— The common school system of Nova Scotia, has recently been undergoing numerous and important changes. Until the present year, the Legislature appropriated $90,000 annually, to be distributed among 34 school districts, in proportion to the population . The law now provides $120 for male teachers of the 1st class ; $90 for male teachers of the 2nd class, and female teachers of the isl class ; $60 for m.ile teachers of 3rd class, and female teachers of 2nd class ; $60 for female teachers of 3rd class, to be paid semi-annually or rateably, " according to the time teachers shall have satisfactorily taught a public school." Assistant teachers receive tvo-thirds the amount of principal teachers of the same class. The clerk of the peace for each county. City of Halifax excepted, has to add a sum equal to 30 cents per head to the amount voted for county purposes. One-half the sum thus raised, is paid half- yearly to the Order of the School Commissioners for the county, and one-half to the Trustees of the principal Schools. In addition to this, the Province provides $10,400 yearly for school debts, maps, and the publica- tion of the Education Journal. And the vicinity of the ratepayers of any school-section, may raise, by assessment, or "he real and personal property of that section, any further sum required. The schools of the City of Halifax are governed under special clauses in the School Act. The Provincial grants a^.d bonus paid in 1865, were of the amount of $67,068, while the amount raised by the people for salaries was $124,673. The Superintendent of Education, Rev. E. H. Rand, gives the following statistics in his report for 1865 : Number of school sections, 1421 ; number of schools in operation, 9S9 ; number of teacliers, 1,031; number of children attending schools under 5 years of age, 1,225 : between 5 and 15 years, 38,562 ; ovensyears, 3,984,— total 43,77i-. . .. , . . ,. . , . „ ,. .

There is a Board of Education in Prince Edward Island, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor in Council, by whom licence's to teach are granted to persons who have been five months at the Normal School, and received licences to teach. The school districts of the Island are limited by Act to 250. Every First-Class male teacher properly certificated, receives £^o Island currency for teaching for one year ; and every Second (or highest) Class male teacher £4^ paid quar- terly. Female teacliers receive ;{^23 and £2^ per annum. All children over five years of age are en- titled to attend District Schools, whose teachers receive these salaries from Government. The School Trustees may assess all householderswho have a child or children between s and 16 years for school house building, repairs, fuel, and furniture, books or maps ; also for making up the teachers' salaries to ^60 in the case of those of the highest class, and corresponding amounts in others. The teachers in Charlottetown and Georgetown are exceptionally tre.ated, and have somewhat higher salaries. The introduction of the"Bible to be read in all the public Schools of the Island is authorized, and the teachers are required to open the schools with the reading of the Scriptures by those children whose inrents desire it ; but no children are required to attend such reading unless desired by parents. There are two school visitors, for the eastern and western districts respectively. The following are the statistics furnished by these gentlemen : — No. of Schools Pupils on registers. .

There are besides thirteen Convent Schools for the education of Catholic females, most of these being endowed. At the Academies and Grammar Schools the education is Classical, Mathematical, Commercial and General. At the Board Schools are taught reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history and the other branches of an ordinary education. The number of pupils attending the Church of England Academy is 33 " 'f " Roman Catholic College 83 " '.' " Wc^ley.m Academy 75 " " " Geneial Protestant do 33 " " " Carbonear do. This Institution has not been in operation during the past year owing to a disagreement amongst the Directors or Board. The Protestant Board .Schools numbernlne thousand two hundred and sixty-four (9264) and the Romnn Catholic 5,639 pupils. The majority of the children leave school early and are not as regular as i:; desirable in their attendance. Their educational attainments are therefore below the standard placed within their reach by the bounty of the GovcTiraont. At the Convent .Schools there are two thousand one hundred (2100) Catholic girls receiving instruc- tion in reading, WTiting, geography, grammar, maps, globes, liistory, drawing, plain and fancy work of ail kinds, knitting, weaving, carding, &c. ; those of the Order of Mercy teaching music, languages, etc. The attainments generally in these establishments are superior. file following weiethe statistics for 1864 : — Protestant Government Elementary Board .Schools. . . . 120 " " Commercial Schools. . 3 Colonial Church and School Society 21 Wcsloyan Scho'-' Society 10 Church of Eniiand 4 Presbyterian Church i Total No. of Schools 159 No. of Pupils 8.449 Roman Catholic.

This Act, however, still left tho French Cana- dian Law, and tho Ordinances of tho Governor ir Council, in force in Upper Canada. Under tho iirst Act of the first Parliament of Upper Canada, tho Provisions mado by tho Act 14, Goorgo III, chapter 83, " that in mat- ters of controversy, as regarded property and civil rights, resort should bo had to the Laws of Canada, (mcauinf? tho French Canadian Laws) was repealed," and it was declared that in such matters "resort should bo had to tho Laws of England as tho rule for decision of tho same. By tuo second Act of tho same Parliament, all issues in fact wcro to bo determined by the unanimous verdict of twelve Jurors, con- formablo to tho Laws of England. From tho liitecnth day of October, 1702, the day on which theso Acts wero passed, tho English Laws, as they existed on tliat day, so far as regarded property and civil riglits, and trial by jury, wero introduced into Upper Canada with the exception of tho English Poor and Bankruptcy Laws, and of such English Laws as %vero not applicable to tho state and condition of tho Province.

A Camp of Instruction was formed at Torry- bum, near St. ,Tchn, during tho present ye.ar, and continued for tho same timo as last year, with about tho same number of men. Tho cost of tho militia for this year will bo much greater than tho last year, as a number of tho volunteers were called out on active Borvico during tho Fenian troubles on tho border.
