'..t .S^fHHA'. ■ *, fit Entered accnrdin^ to Act of Parliament by JoitM Lows & Co., in the Ofllice of the Registrar of the Province of Quebec, November, 1867. l^^- PREFACE. The Publishers of the Year Book and Almanac of Canada offer to the Public the Second Annual Volume of the work. The Editor desires to acknowledge the valuable assistance afforded him by Mr. William Smith, Controller of Customs at St. John, New Brunswick ; by Mr. T. F. Knight, of the Receiver General's office, Halifax ; by the Hon. W. H. Pope, late Colonial-Secretary, Prince Edward Island ; by Mr. J.T. Burton, M.P.P., St. John's, Newfoundland ; by Dr. J. H. Powell, of Victoria, Vancouver's Island ; and by many other kind and attentive friends. The YEA.R Book for 1868 is not a republication of that for 1867^ with a few changed figures ; it is a new work, in which additional subjects are treated of, while the chapters on subjects which must find a place in every work which professes to be a statistical abstract for any country, have been re-written, with alterations and additions. The subjects newly included are principally these : — A chapter on the Boundaries of British North America, giving the text of the treaties and the decisions of Commissioners in relation thereto. A historical sketch of the official proceedings preliminary to Confederation. A general view of the climatology of British North America. A paper shewing the monthly tra£Sc receipts of all our Railways for several years past. A statement respecting the value of our Fisheries. A complete alphabetical list of the Post Offices and Telegraph Siations in the Dominion. &c., &C. On the other hand, the subjects which are treated of in the last Year Book more fully than in this, are : — Tne organization of the Legal and Medical Professions in each Province. The Educational Statistics of the Provinces. The names of the various Governors and Ministers who have held office in the Colonies. Lists of Land Surveyors, Customs Officers, &c., &c. Until the Dominion of Canada includes all British North America, similar changes in the form and character of the Year Book will be each year waat'^d and made ; and those who take an interest in its sta- tistics will, on this account, do well to keep a complete series on their shelves.

I I CONFEDERATION— PRELIMINARY PROCEEDINGS. Introductiox. A fciloral Anion ol'tho British North Aracrioan Provinces was first vaguely foreshadowed in 1784. at the time of the soparfttionof Nova Scotia and Now Brunswick. It was looked upon then by practical intn ns n far-off possibility, and had been suggested, doubtless, as a counterpoise to tho newly- established fodoration of tho United States. Such a scheme has since, from time to time, been advocated by some of our ablest colonial statesmen. A prijposal is recorded as havuig been mude by the lion. R. J. Uniat^e, of Nova Scotia, who, about the year ISCO, brought colonial union under tho notice of the Imperial authorities. In 1814, tho lute Chief Justice Sewell, of Quebec, (who eujoyod the friendship of tho Duke of Kent, father of Her Majesty the Queen,) addressed to His Royal Highness a letter on tho subject of a union, strongly recommending it— a document to which allusion is made by Lord Durham in Iiis Report on the Affairs of the British North American Provinces. In 1822, Sir John Beverly Ilobiuson, at the request of tho Colonial Otfice, submitted a scheme of a similar nature. In 1824, and again in 1827, the subject was mooted in the provinoial newspapers. Robert Gourlay, wviting from London, in December, 1825, recommends that :— Xova S<^otla, Newfoundland, Cnpo Itrcton, Now Drnngwick and Lower nnd Upjicr Canada should bo confederated t each to bo na frco within Itself ns one of tho United StntoJ, nnd the wholo to hold congress at Quebec, KoeU also to send two niemhcrs ti tlic BrlLish Varlinnicnt to speak but not to vote. A Convention to meet ntier a lapse of tlroo, to roviow and nnicud tho wholusystcm of novemment. Aeupromo judicial court to sit at Quoboo for the Uualdetermiiia- tlon of appeals, and the Qovemor-in-Cbief to ezerolso clemency. Many other details are included in his project, among which are, freedom of trade* assimilation of laws, canals, provincial army and navy : all to be gradually introduced, and religious equality to bo established.* In 1838, tho Right Reverend Dr. Strachan, Lord Bishop of Toronto, in a letter to Mr. Charles BuUer, Secretary to Lord Durham, thus expresses himself:— It will bo a pleasure to mo to contribute everything In my power to tho proBi>eroun issue of Lord Durham's administration ; and if Mr. Pitt conBidercd tho constitution which lie conferred upon the Canndasone of tho glorios of his life, what glory must redound to the statesmen who givo a Ixva constitution to tho Itritish North Amcrlonu Colonics, nnd by consolidating them in'o one territory or kingdom, exalt them to a nation aotluB in unity, nnd under the protection of tho British (iovernmcnt, and thus not only eneuriiiK their ha])pinc3s but provonting' forever the pad consequences that raiglit arise from a rival power getting possession of their ehuics. In Lord Durham's celebrated Report on Canada and British North America generally, His Lordship laid great stress upon the absolute necessity of a union, thus :— On my first arrival In Canada I was strongly inclined to tho project of a federal uiiion, and it was with nucha plan in view tliat I discusacd a general meaaUTO for the government of tho colonies, with tho deputations from tho Lower Provinces, and with various Icadhi? individuals and public bodies in tho Canodos. Hut 1 luul still more strongly impressed on mo the great advantage of an united government, nnd I was gratified by ilnding tho leaiing minds of the various colonies strongly and generally inclined to a scheme that would elevate their countries into something llkit (^ national existence. Again, in reference to the influenoe of the United States as hemming us in on every side, His Lordship proceeds :— If wo wish to prevent tho extension of this inflnenee, it can only bo done by raising up for tho Kerch Amuriuan Colonist some nationality of his own, by elevating these small and unimportimt communities into a society having gome objects of a national importance, nnd by thus giving their inhabitants a country which they will be unwilling to set absorbed oven into ono more powerful. A union for common dofeueo against foreign enemies is tho natural bond of eoneetion that holds togetlier tho groat communities of tho world, and between no parts of any kingdom or state is tho necessity for snch a union more obvious tlion between tho whole of these colonics. Colonial jealousies and dissensions prevented the aooomplishment of Lord Durham's recommendations at that time, but there is no doubt that his Report was tho means of pre- paring the public mind for tho adoption of a measure similar in meny respects to that proposed by his lordship. The author of ''Hochelaga" and " The Conquest of Canada," writing in 1843, gives expression to his hopes in the following language :— I should rejoico to sea all the British North American possessions, Newfoundland included, united under a central colonial government nnd represented in a common legislature ; each, however, itiU retaining its o m assemblies for local and particular purposes. In 1849, resolutions in favor of colonial union were passed by the British American League at Kingston. In 1851, Col. Arthur Rankin, in his address to the electors of Kent, strongly advocated the project. Afterwards, in 1856, that gentleman, when member for Essex, placed tiio following motion on the notice papers of the House :— Ur. Rankin— On Wednesday next (30th April 18SA)— Committee of the whole on the general state of tho Frovinco, for the purpose of considering tho subject of on Union of the British North American Colonies, with a view to an Address to Her Majesty to recommend the same to the consideration of tho Imperial Parliament. The motion was coldly received, the leaden on both sides of the House regarding it as visionary ; Hon. W. H. Merritt, who cordially approved of Col. Rankin's motion, being the only notable exception. In 1854, the question was discussed in the Nova Scotia Parliament, Hon. Messrs. Johnst u and Howe, the leaders of the rival parties, vicing with each other in tbeir advocacy of a measure which, in their opinion, would bo the moans of constituting a great nation, by combining the elements of strength and wealth which all the isolated Pro- vinces possess. In 1858, the Hon. A. T. Gait revived the subject in the Canadian Parlia- ment, and eloquently dilated on the benefits to be derived from a union of the Provinces ; and when, in the summer of that year, he became a member of the ministry he insisted on its being made a cabinet question, with what success is shewn by the following parogragh of Sir Edmund Head, the then Governor General's speech at the closing of the session of 1858. I propose in tho course of the recess to communicato with Her Majesty's Oovemmont, and with the Oovemments of the sister colonies, on another matter of verrgrc!\t importance. lam desirous of inviting' them to dhicusawith us the principles on which a bond of a federal character imlting the Frovlnces of British North America, may, perhaps, hereafter be practicable. This was followed by a despatch (signed by Hon. Messrs. Cartier, Gait, and John Ross,^ ' adthressed to tho Imperial anthorities, which pointed to a federal union of the Provinces ae a solution of tho grave difficultip J which presented themselves in carrying on tho Queen's l»Uutdo$hjiJUB^i7 of KQTk.Saotla./ Con/dderaiion.

Tho defeat, and subsequent resignation, of tho Dcrby-D'Iarnoli linistry in England, prevented any decisive action at that time on tho part of the Imperial authorities. The Ciiarlottetown Conperesce. A resolution favorable h> union was passed unanimously by the Nova Scotia Parliament in April, 18(31, and having boon trausmitted to tho Colonial Ofiice, was forwarded by tho Duko of Newcastle, tho thun Colonial Socretaiy, in a despatch dated July 0th. 1802, to tho Govurnor (jloncral, and to the Lioutcnant-Governors of tho several Provinces. His Grace, after stating that Her Majesty's (jtuvcniinent was not prepared to announce any dolinite policy on a qnestion wliich had been taken up by only one Province, expressed his own opinion in the iullowing words :— Tf a uninn, either partial o" complete, rhould hereafter bo propo<0'1 with the concurrence of all the ProTinees to lio united, I nm sura that tlio matter wonld bo weighed in this country both l>y tho public, by i'arliunient, UMd I'y Ucr MiiJcaty'K Uovemmont with no other fooling than an anxiety to dlncorn and promote nny course wliiuh miglit bo tho moat conducive to the prosperity, tho strength, and the harmony of nil the Uritidh communities in North Amorion. The Lieutenant-Governors of the several Provino98 brought tho subject before their respective Legislatures, at tho commencement of thoir several sessions of 1864, for tho purpose of appointing Delegates to confer as to the practicability of establishing a legislative union between tho Maritiiuo Provinces. The discussion, which was conducted in a calm and dignified manner, and without roferenoo to lonal party issues, elicited. especiaUy in Prince Edward Island, some considerable fooling of dissatisfaction at tho proposal iox a,le{ti>ilafive union ; still tho Legislature of the Island, on the ISth April, passed the following resolution, which is identical with those passed by the Legislatures of Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick :— 7fftw/f«/,— That Ills Excellency tho Lioutonant-OoTemor be authorized to appoint Delciratos (not to exceed hv( ) to coulx'r with U jlo^atai wlio may bo appoiiicd by tho Uovomraonts of Nova Scotia anil Now iirunswiolc, I'or ilio rui'liosootdiicisfllnR tho expodioncy of nimionof tho throo ProTlncos of Nova Scotia, Nciw DrunHwIck and Prince lidward Island under one frovcrninont nml luffialMuro, tho report of tho said Dclcirntcs to Iw laid before tho Legiaia- turo of this Colony, Ixitoro any further action shall bu taken in regard to ^lio proi>oscd iiuestlon. Delegates were ascordingly appointed by the Governments of Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island, and it was arranged that on the 1st of September they should meet at Charlottctown. While events were thus progressing in the Maritime Provinces, Canadian statesmen were engaged in considerinsfl tho feasibility of otfectii'g such changes in their constitu- tion as would reconcile the conflicting interests of tho eastern and western sections of tho Provinoo. Party government had become well nigh impossible, and ministry after ministry hiul to retire from the seemingly hopeless attempt at oari-ying on the government, when, on tho defeat of the Tuoh^-Maoronald ministry, in Juno. 1864, overtures wore made by tho leaders of tho Reform party to tho Hon. John A. Macdonald with a view to tho settle- ment of the sectional difficulties by the adoption of a federative system, applying cither to Canada or to all tho British North American Provinces. Those overtures were cordially received, and tho result was the formation uf a coalition government, pledged to the introduc- tion of tho federal system.* By a fortunate coincidence, within a month of the formation of the coalition ministry in Canada, tho Charlottctown Conference was arranged, and the Canadian Government hastened to ask permission to send Delegates. Their request was promptly complied with, and, in accordance with previous arrangement, on the Ist Septem- ber, the Delegates met at Charlottetown. Canada was represented by :— The Hon. John A. Macdonald, M.P.P., Atty. Gen., U. C. " Geo. Brown, M-P-P.^Pres. of Coun. " A. T. Gait, M. P.P., rinanoe Min. Nova Scotia was represented by :— Tho Hon. Chas.Tupper, M.P.P., Prov. Secy. " \V. A.

' ' Tho Canadian Delegates, not having been authorized to consider the question of a leqU- lativc union, were informally present. .The proposal to unite tho Maritiiuo Provinces in a legislative union was looked upon as impracticable ; but the delegates were unanimously of opinion that a union on a larger basis might be effected ; and for the purpose of considering tho possibility of a federal union and its necessary details, the Canadian Ministers proposed that a further Conference should bo held at Quebec, subject to the consent of the Govern- ments of the Maritime Provinces, and at suoh time as His Excellency tho Governor General might name. This arrangement being agreed to, the Charlottetown Conference suspended its deliberations. , * Tho terms of the agreomont on which the coalition was formed were these :— " The Government nro prcparod to plodKo thorasclvaa to brhig in a meosaro next session for tho purposo of removing existing difflcultios, by intro- ducingtho Fo'ijral principle into Canada, coupled with anoli provbions as will permit the NcTthcm Prorinoes and the North West lorritory to bn incorpsratod with tho same system of Oorem'nent.

Tho Provincial Secretaries of tho several Provinces wore elected Honorary Secretaries to the Conference, and Col. Hewitt Bernard yraa appointed Executive Secretary. The Conference sat some 18 days in Quebec, and the result of their deliberations was the famous " Seventy- two Resolutions" which, in accordance with the final resolution, were authenticated by the signatures of the Delegates, and were ordered to bo submitted by each delegation to its own government ; tho chairman submitting a copy to tho Governor General for transmission to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. After a tour through Canada, during which the Delegates from the Maritime Provinces wore filed in princely style, they separated : each delegation being {)le,dged to use every legitimate means to ensure the adoption of the soheme by their jseveral egislatures, and by the Imperial Government. Proceedimos m Canada. The Canadian Legislature met in January, 1866. On the 3rdof Pebruary, Sir E. P. Taoh^ in tho Legislative Council, and Hon. J. A. Macdonald, in the House of Assembly, simultane- ously moved :— " That an humble address be presented to Her Majesty prying that she may be graciously pleased to cause a measure to be submitted to the Imperial Parliament for the purpose of uniting the Colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island in one government, with provisions based on certain Resolutions which wore adopted at a conference of Delegates from the said Colonies, held at the City of Quebec, on the lOtn October, 1864." After a debate of over a fortnight's duration, the Resolutions wore adoptud in tho Council on the 20th of February, by a vote of 45 to 15 ; and in tho Assembly, after a most oxhau8tivo and exhaustinij; five weeks' debate, they were agreed to on the 10th of March, by a voto of 91 to 33. The mnoty-one who voted for the Resolutions were composed of 54 from Upper Canada and 37 from Lower Canada ; while 25 from Lower Canada and 8 from Upper Canada made up the 33 who opposed them. After the close of the session in April, 1865, tho Hon. Messrs. Brown, Cartier, J. A. Macdonald and Gait, proceeded to England, in order to oc^er with the Imperial authorities upon the subject of confederation and other matters connected therewith of Colonial and national importance. The Imperial Govern- ment again renewed their assurances of their approval of the oonfederation soneme, and their desire to promote its adoption by every legitimate means. New Brunswick. In New Brunswick the Quebec scheme was brought before the people at the general election, in March 1865, and a House of Assembly, hostile to that scheme, was chosen. An anti-confederation ministry came into power, and thiiigs looked ill for a speedy success of the union cause. However, after events proved that the real sentiments of the people of New Brunswick upon the subject of confederation had not been obtained, and that the elections of 1865 had been carried in a great measure by side issues. In the session of 1866, the Hon. A. E. Botsford moved the foUowing Resolution in the Legislative Council, on the 9th of April:— Wo Your Majoit.y'a fnithful anil loyal BubjeoU, tho Lfl^iUtive CbuncU of New BrunswicV, In ProrincUl Parlia- incnt assembled, humbly approocli Your Majsaty with the conviction that a union of all Your Majmty'* British North American Colouim, based on tho Itnolntiona adopted at tho Conference of Ddegntcs from tho scrorid cclonics held nt Quebec on the 10th day of October, 1864, Is an object highly to be desired, essential to their future prosperity and inliuunc(i,iMid calculated alike to strengthen and perpetuate the tics which bind them to YourGroclous Majesty's Throno and Uovcmiucut, and humbly pray that Your Majesty may bo graciously pleased to cause a measure to be submitted to tho Ii .porial Parliament for the purpose of thus uniting tho Colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Princo Edward Island into one gOTcmmcnt. His Excellency's reply was highly favorable to the oonfederation scheme, and in conse- qnence thereof, the ministry resided office on the 10th April; theLr resignation was accepted, and a new ministry formed, which was composed chiefly of gentlemen who had taken an CmfedcrcMon. »7 iictivo part in forwtirding tho ciiut^o of confe(lomti<)n.

An amendment to tho resolution was defeated by a vote of 31 to 18, and tho resolution carried by 31 to W. Newfoundland. In Newfoundland, tho subject of confederation was brought before tho legislature by His Excelloney tho Governor, in his speech at tho opening of tho session, January 30th, .1806. and tho House in Committee of tho whole on the address in reply to Ilia Excellency, adopted tho following paragraph in answer thereto 10th February, 1866, Mr. Knight in tho chair :— On the important Question of confederation, in reco(nii~mg the solicitude of Iler Majesty's Oovomraent for tho welfare of this Colony, we concur iu tho view of Your ExecUeucy that tho abstract advantages of union are so obvious as to botilmobt neoeBearily ncknowlcdgeu ; whilst with regard to this Colony nnd on tho details of so grave a me.isuro it is natural that muca diversity of opinion should prevail. This is a matter which shall engage our Berious atteution. An amendment directly opposed to Confederation was defeated and the above carried, by a vote of 18 to 6. On tho 20th February, Mr. Speaker informed tho House that when in attendance on His Excellency tho Governor, ho had presented the address of thanks. Ilia Excellency made reply in reference to tho confederation clause, expressing a desirothat thoy, for tl'e informa- tion of Her Majesty's Government, should consider tho question and decide upon tho terms under which Newfoundland might with advantage join in tho proposed union. On tho 8th March, tho House of Assembly, after sitting in Committee of tho whole for several days, adopted tho following resolution :— Whereas, This House Ima recently la reply to tho speech of His Excellency the Governor, on op'nins thn present sssfiiou abstained from pronouncing any decision on the proposal for a nniou of tho Colonics, or on iho details of tlio lueasur.^ as regards this Colony, and considering tho present imcortalu stato of publio sontimcnt on this grave qnestiou aud belnrr unadvised of tho action tberonn th.it may bo taVcu or contemplated by the other Provinces. Itesolval, That whilst duly regardful of tho momentous character of this Rubjecb and of tho promise to Hii4 Excellency to glvo it ottention, yet as no Information has been received demanding Its immediate reconsideration, this llouso docs not deem it expedient to enter upon its discussion with a view to any decision thereon. An amendment of a more unfavorable nature was defeated by a vote of 18 to 7. and tho original motion carried by 17 to 7. Had tho course which was shortly afterwards taken by New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, in appointing Delegates to confer with tho Imperial Government, boon adopted somewhat sooner, or had tho meeting of tho Legislature of New- foundland taken place a few months later, so as to give tho members an opportunity of knowing what was being done on tho subject of confederation in the sister colonics, it is moro than probable that a similar course would have boon adopted in Newfoundland. Prince Edwaed Island. Tho Legislature of Prince Edward Island repudiatet^ tho action of its Delegates at tho Quebec Conference, and it doea not soom that tho cause of confederation is yet gaining hold on tho minds of the Islanders.

Tho Imperial Parliament met on tho 5th of February m tho present year. On tho 7th tho Bill for tho Confederation of tho Provinces was introduced into tho House of Lords by Lord Carnavon, tho then Colonial Secretary, and was received with approbation by all parties. On tho 19th it was road a second timo, was passed through Committee of tho whole on tho 22nd, and on tho 26th February was road a third timo. It was at onco brought down to tho House of Commons, and on tho 28tli February was moved to a second reading. After a long and interesting debate, during which no men of any prominence, with tho exception of Mr, Bright, opjiosed tho measure, the motion was agreed to without a division. It passed through Committee of the whole on tho 4th of March, and was road a third timo and Ihinlly passed tho House of Commons on tho 8th of March. On iho 28th of that month it received tho lloyal assent and boeamo one of tho laws of tho empire. Tho name chosen for tho united Provinces was "The Dominion of Canada," UpporCanadato be henceforth called Ontario and Lower Canada Quebec From Nova Scotia .alone came any serious opposition to tho confederation scliomo after tho appointment of Delegates to tho London Conforenco. Hon Messrs. Howo and Annand went to London on behalf of tho opponents of tho union, who made a final effort to throw obstacles in tho way of its success. On tho inoeting of tho Nova Scotia Legiaiaturo on tho 16th of March when an amendment to tho address in reply to tho Governor's speech breathing a spirit hostile to confederation, was moved, after an animated debato, it was defeated by a vote of 39 to 16. The Proclamation. The work of legislation being finally completed. Her Majesty was graciously pleased to issue hor Proclamation, on the 22nd of May, declaring that the Dominion of Canada should commence its existence on tho Ist of July, 1867, and appointing tho members of tho Senate. In thus briefly tracing tho history of Confederation from tho time that, as a tiny seedling it was fostered in tho minds of men of far-seeing and statesmanlike views, until now, when it has grown into a wido-sproading troo bonoath whoso shelter rost the hopes of what promises to bo a mighty nation, it has boon our object to show that it is not tho hastily conceived and ill-digestod schemo which its onomics would fain represent it, but that it is ono of gradual growth, towards which for years our destiny has been drawing us, as iu itself peculiarly adapted to the nocessities and the conius of our iioople.

Adopting this principle for Ontario, Quebec, Jlew Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, (where the rate of increase had been about 4.34 per cent., 3.50 per cent., 3.60 per cent.. 1.83 percent., and 307 per cent, per annum respectively) and making estimates for the rest, we have, as the population in January of 1868, and each successive year until 1871 : — Ontario Quebec New Brunswick Nova Scotia The Dominion Prince Edward Island Newfoundland British Columbia Rupert's Land All British North America 1868. 1,880,350 '.32'.o74 303,950 375.5" 3,879,88s 93,338 131,000 50,000 105,000 4,359,233 1869. 1,962,067 i.354»o67 311,027 382.365 4,009,5.16 9S.»72 132,000 55,000 no 000 4,401,798 1870. 2.047.334 1,387,884 3'9.398 389.343 1871. 4.M3.9S9 97,»46 133.000 60,000 115,000 4.549,K>5 2,136,308 1,422,546 327,800 396.449 4,283,103 99.261 134.000 65.000 120,000 4,701,364 In 1861 3,431,523 1871 4,701,364 1881 6,441,000 1891 8,825,000 1901 12,090,000 1911 16,564,000 In 1921 33,694,000 i93« 31,092,000 «94> 42.598,000 195' 58,361,000 1961 79,957,000 «97« '09,540,000 • The Indian population of all the Oolontei i* included in theK flgnra, and was almut aa followi :— Ontario 7,841 Qni;b«c 4,87S New Rninrwick I,flt Nova Scotia 1,407 Carried forward. 15,338 The population of French orifc!!. waa :— Ont»rlo *3,IR7 Quebec 647,?10 Now Brunswiclc 15,000 NovaSootU *0.8a9 Carried forward 9»,4a6 Bmnitht forward 15,336 Prince Edward Island 850 Newfoundland Brttlah Columbia and Vancouver'!

How many of the people of the Dominion are native to the soil, is a question of much interest, and by the aid of the census tables we answer it as follows :-- Where Resident.

I In New Brunswick 18} per cent. In Quebec 8^ " | In Nova Scotia 10 " It is only natural that in new colonies, like Ontario .ind New Brunswick, the proportion of immigrants should be larger than in older settled districts, but these figures are so dissimilar that they also appear to point to a difference in the inducements that have been held Oot to emigrants by the several Pro- vinces. At the beginning of a new system, under which population is to be tlie basis of representation, that Province will most rapidly increase in power which offers most attractions to the settler, Quebec must freely open up its fertile township lands and rich mineral tracts ; Nova Scotia must more boldly bid for men and women in the emigration markets of the \vorld ; Ontario and New Brunswick must in no way relax their endeavors to bring population to their shores ; for although the natural rate of increase here, unchecked as yet by Maltnusian doctrines, is rapid as compared with the densely settled countries of the old world, nevertheless the wealth, the vigor and energy, the progress, the power which we admire over the borders, and which >ve hope to realize for ourselves hereafter more than we have yet done, principally depend imon a full stream of foreignimmigration. What is the religious belief of the people of the Dominion? Mainly Roman Catholic; next Presbyterian ;* then English Catholic, Wesleyan and Baptist. Afterwards follow in the far distance all the other denominations, familiar and unfamiliar. The figures are :— U h Ii Church of England.

There probably are in the Provinces at this time : — Farmers owning land, including their adult sons 450,000 Laborers on farms 100,000 Lumberers, &c. 40,000 Laborers in Cities, &c., male and female 50,000 Brought forward. .... 640,000 Mechanics of all kinds, including Sempstresses, &c 200,000 Traders, Storekeepers, &c 60,000 Fishermen and Mariners 30,000 Professional 15,000 Servants and Miscellaneous 55,000 Carried forward. ... 640,000 1,000,000 In Tht Year Book for 1867 will be found, in some detail, the ascertained values of the products of the industry of the people of each colony, and to that we refer. The average total quantity and value of the yearly raw products of the Dominion may, however, be again summed up here, as follows : — Grain, viz : Wheat 30,000,000 bushels.

At the time of the American Revolution an orator exclaimed, "we are three millions, one fifth fighting men." In settled countries, one fifth is almost exactly the number of males between eighteen and forty-five years of age, in new countries the proportion is rather greater ; we are, therefore, within the mark if we say that the Dominion, with 3,879,885 souls, has a fighting population of 775,000, or that British America, with 4,259,223 souls, contains 852,000 fighting men. Any militia system, to be perfect, should tlien provide for the training to the use of arms to a certain extent, of three quarters of a million. How many of these could be supported in the field must of course depend upon circumstances — upon our enemies, upon our alliances. In the event of war with the United States, if we •were fairly supported by Great Britain, we could probably place at least one tenth of them in the field — say one hundred thousand men, and keep our active contingent up to that number from reserves. At least that is the calculation of the statist, and such calculations are usually found to be verified by actual results. The density of our population to the square mile is another item of interest. It is as follows : — Ontario , .5 souls. Quebec _ 6 do. New Brunswick 11 do. Nova Scotia 21 do. The Dominion 10 souls. Prince Edward Island 44 souls. Newfoundland 3 do. British Colnmbia and V. Id. one to s sq. miles. Rupert's Land one to 50 sq. miles. General average of B. N. A.i to thesq. mile. These figures appear almost ludicrous when we compare them with the 253 soulsi to the square mile of Great Britain and Ireland, the 177 of Frau'.e, the 432 of Belgium, the 320 of China, Sc, &c.

Even Russia has ten times as many inhabitants to the square mile as British America. It is true that much of our country possesses a climate severe in winter, but we have a rich Great West, as yet not opened up to the husbandman, while the mineral wealth even of the far North is alluring. We cannot ' .etter conclude this article than by transcribing some words of the Right Rev. Dr. Mullock, Bishi > of Newfoundland: — " Suppose America to "be the old country and Europe the new, and that liie tide of emigration set Eastward, it would "naturally be directed to the banks of the Garonne, the Tagus, the C uadalquiver, or to the shores of " Italy or Sicily, not to the Elbe or the Baltic. Such is the case with us at present — the tide of " European emigration sets tov/ards the broad rich lands of the Unite States. But let these get filled "in * * * It will be as difficult to get a living there as now in the crowded countries of Europe. " When taxation will be increased, perhaps large standing armies kept on foot ; then the people of " these northern regions, increasing and muhiplying, will cultivate their now waste lands as do the " Swedes, the Danes, the Prussians. Let us consider what British America was .fifly years ago, " what it is now, and what it may be a century hence " ^ OUR BOUNDARIES. The Dominion of Canada is the logitimato heir to the old French Empire in North America, and although the inheritance has come down to us sadly diminished in extent, we may indulge ourselvus in a condensed review of its ancient limits. In 1540, Roberval was declared by Francis I. to bo Lord of Norembdgue.t.e., of the lands on the Penobscot. In 1603, Do Monts received letters patent to trade from Capo DcRoze to the 40th decree N. latitude. Under this authority he wintered on St. Croix Island in 1604, sailing, in 1005, to Norerabdguo, Kennebec. Casco, Saco, and even Capo Cod. In 1627, " La Nouvelle Franco, called Canada," is declared in the charter of the Hundred Associates to extend from Florida to the Arctic Circle, and from Newfoundland to the furthest affluent of the St. Lawrence, but this excessive claim was never seriously maintained, and when Acadia was divided from Canada, it was defined as being bounded N. by the Gulf of St. Lawrence, E. by the Atlantic, S. by the River Kennebec, W. by the Province of Canada. Even thia boundary was indeed disputed. In ICl.S, Capt. Argal came northwardii from Virginia, convoying fishing cr.ift, and finding the Frcncii clearing lands on the Penobscot, attacked them, saying the territory was part of Virginia, which owned all to 40® N. lat. In 1655, by the treaty of Westminster, the conflicting claims were referred to a commission, bift though the commissaries wore appointed in 1662, nothing was done. In 1656, CromT7ell's grant of Acadie to Latour, Tomple and Crowne, defined the territory to bo " along the Bay to Fort St. "John, and thence following all the coast as far as Pentagoet and the River St. George in " Mescourus, situate on the borders of New Entjland, and further on to tho first habitation." The treaty of Breda, 1607, restored Acadia to France, and tho French commission to Grand Fontaine, 1670, set the Quinebequi as the boundary of his government— a boundary asserted by Villebon, tho French Governor of Acadia, against Lieut.-Governor Stoughton, of Massa- chusetts, in 1098. Charlevoix, pp. 3-18, Sli), says that about this time the River St. George, about half-way between Pentagoet and the Kennebec, began to bo spoken of as the boiindaiy. In 1700, after tlio peace of Ryswick, it apjiears by a letter from de Beauharnois and Ilocquart, respectively Governor and Intcndant of Canada, " a post was planted on an island at the " mouth of the St. George, with the arms of England on the west side and those of France on " tho east wV\ to serve as bounds to tho lands of the two' crowns, .and to distinguish them ;" and in 1703 a judgment of the King's Council of State grants tole Borgno "Pentagoet. &c., '■ with ten leagues on each side of the river, to the River St. George, the boundary of New " England." Just after tho treaty of Paris, 1712, the French king ofiFered numerous conces- sions if the English would give him back -Acadia, and "in this case his Majesty would " consent that the River of St. George should bo tho limit of Acadia, as England desired." In 1720, Col. Philipps, Governor of Nova Scotia, complained that " tho bounds between the " government of Nova Scotia and Now England are not declared," and enclosed to the Lords of Trade a petition from persons who had lands between the Kennebec and St. George, for con- firmation of title. In 1762, Governor Bernard, of Massachussctts, and Governor Belcher, of Nova Scotia, had acorrespondence which was ended by Mr. Belcher as follows: "I must, never- ' theless, with much satisfaction, accept the assurances you give me that you shall not make " any grants of any of the lands westward of the River St. Croix • • • and I shall on my " part not consent to any further grants from this Province until tho question is determined " at homo." It was not determined until settled by treaty with the rebellious colonies, now tho United States, and then tho St. Croix was made tho boundary. From all which it is clearly to be seen that tho stronger British colonies, backed up by tho stronger British powor, forced back the weaker French from one boundary to another : from about Ciipe Cod to the Kennebec, from the Kennebec to the St. George, from the St. George to the Penobscot. While at the establishment of their independence thny further encroached upon the tirritory of the parent country, from tho Penobscot to the St. Croix. In the interior of the continent, the French explorers had amagnificent field before them, which they cultivated with equal bravery and energy. The Edict of 1712, establishing Louisiana as a Lieut-Governorship, aependent upon that of Qiiebeo, recites that in 1683 the King had ordered the exploration of the regions between New France and New Mexico ; that La Salle had sufRoiontly succeeded in tho enterprise to make it f ertain that communication could be maintained between tho St. Lawrence and the Gnlf of Mexico by way of important rivers ; that immediately after the peace of Ryswick, His Majesty had sent out a colony, but that in consequence of the wars he had done nothing more ;* that now, however, ho had dooided to authoriso the Sieur Crozart to trade in the country bounded by the English settlements in Carolina on one hand, and My Now Mexico on the other, and principally in the port and harbour of lie Dauphine, in the valleys of tho Mississippi from the sea to tho « Dy nn arr?t of 1690, the King ondowfi Sleun do la Forest and Touty, with tho eetablliihincnt made at St. Louis by do la Sallo. 42 Our Boundaries. ¥. i i Illinois, of the Missouri, and of the Wabash. The first serious attempt to interfere vith the French in this part of the continent was made in 1749, when u company, called the Ohio Company, was chartered, and obtained from the British Crown a grant of 600,000 acres on the River Ohio. In 1750 the French heard of this, and the Governorof Canada wrote to the Governors of PcnnsyfVania and New York to complain, but complaints being useless they seized, in 1751, some American traders found tVest of the Ohio, and built two forts, one on the south side of Lake Erie and one on Beef river. In 1753, Major (afterwards the celebrated General) Washington was sent by Virginia to M. do Contrecoeur, the French (Jovcrnor of these two forts, to summon him to retire, who replied "that the country belonged to the King of France, and " that therefore ho would according to orders, seize and send prisoner to Canada every " Englishman that should attempt to trade upon the Ohio or any ot its branches." In 1754, a battle took place in that vicinity, and Washington, attacked in his entrenchments at Fort Necessity, capitulated. The course taken by Canada and Nova Scotia during the American Revolutionary war is a matter of general history, which wo need not dilate upon in this place. SuOice it to remark, that their loyalty desei .'ed a better rew ard than the indifference subsequently shewn by Britain in the fixing of their boundaries. Young remarks, in his " North American Colonies," that: "Language cannot bo found too condensed and too severe to characterize " the terras of the first Provincial Treaty of Peace, in 1782. Mr. Oswald, our Plenipotentiary, " who adjusted it with Franklin and Jay, after his return to England, when waited upon by " the merchants of London, that they might inform him of the concessions and sacrittces he " had made, both confessed his ignorance and wept, it is said, over his own simplicity." Lord Stormont, intheyearof tiie Trer.ty, spokoof Mr. Oswald as " thatextraordinaryGcogrnpher," and said on the other hand of the American Commissioners, in language of which wo now, on close acquaintance with such agents, can fully recognize the biting truth, that " they have " enriched the English Dictionary with aew terms and phrases— reciprocal advantage, for " instancO) means the advantage of one of the parties ; and a regulation of boundaries, " accession of territory." The provisional arrangement made by Mr. Oswald was that the eastern boundary of the States should run along the St. John river, from its source to its mouth in the Bay of Fundy, and that the northern boundary should be a lino to be drawn from the north-west angle of Nova Scotia, along the highlands which divide these rivers that empty themselves into the River St. Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic, to the north-westernmost head of Connecticut river; thence down along the middle of that river to the 45th degree of north latitude, and thence due west to the north-westernmost side of the River St. Lawrence ; thence straight to the Lake Nipissing, and thence straight to the Rirer Mississippi. This figreement was too absurd to be made part of the Definitive Treaty, for it would have given up nearly half of New Brunswick, and almost all of Upper Canada. The Treaty itself (1783) was, however, sufiiciently disgraceful in its terms. It established the boundary in the following language :— Art. TI. AnX that nil di.qputcB which might arise in f uturo on the subject of the bonndaricsof the said United States may lio iirevontud, it is hereby aKTCod and declared tliat the f nllowinif Bliall be their boimdaries, vii. : from the nortli-woat angle of Nova Scotia, yia. : that angle which is formed by n lino drawn duo nortli from the source of the St. Croix river to tho IiighlandEi ; »long the said higlilanda which divide those rivers tliat empty thonnclvcs into the Rivnr .St. Lawrence from thoRo which fall into tho Atlantic Ocean to the nerth-wcstcmniost lioad of Connc!- icut river; thenco down lUonRtho middle of that river to the 45tli degree of nortli latitude; from thcneo hyaline due west on said latitude, until it strikes tho Iliver Iroquois or Cataraquy ; thenco along the niiddlu of s»id river into Lake Ontario, through tho middle of said lake until it strikes t1>o commun^iation bv water betwceu that lake and Lake Erie ; thenco along tho middle of said communication into Lake Krio, through tlio middle of Si.ld lako until it arrives at tho water communication between that lako and Lako Huron ; thenco along the raiddla of said water communication into tho Lako Huron'; thenco througli the middlo of said lako to the water curanmnication between tliat lako and Lake Superior ; t .ocnce through Lako Superior northward of tho Isles Hoyal and Pliclipcaux to the Lonar Lake ; thence through the middle of said Long LsJce and tho water communication between it and tho Lake of tho AV'ooort or reports, as well to tlie tiovcrnment of His llritannic Majesty as to that of the United States, stating in detail the points on which they differ, and tho grounds upon which thoir rcspeotlvo opinions have been I'ormcd, or the grounds upon which they or either of them have so refused, declined or omitted to act.

They met. A due north line was run with care, throughout the disputed tract, to find out whore the highlands really were, but to no purpose. Britain was too incurious as to colonial matters, and the States wero too astute to press for any immediate arbitration, and it was not until 1829 that the contem- plated documents were placed in tho hands of the King of Holland, t'ao selected arbitrator. The merits of tho controversy are impartiuUy stated by Col. Bouchette, in his Topography of British North America. Ho speaks as follows of the country between the St. Lawrence and the highlands south of tho St. John :—" The face of tho country, though abounding with " extensive valleys and Hats, is decidedly hilly ; but it is neither so bold or so mountainous as " the country on the opposite banks of the St. Lawrence. Tho land generally rises in irre- '' gular ridgos from the borders of the river towards the rear, and attains in general a con- " siderablo elevation at the distance of 10, 15, and 20 miles from the front, forming at its height " the verge of a broad and extended tract of table laud of gentle descent towards tho Iliver St. " John, beyond which it re-asoends again and acjuire* a tuperior degree of altitude towards " tho sources of the Allegash, merging in the ran^e of highlands that are a continuation of the " Connecticut range, stretching oastwardly and wmding round the sources of the rivers falling " into the Atlantic, and those flowing into the St. Lawrence and the St. Jolin in tho opposite " direction." This description wo'ild be enough to indicate tho natural boundary, viz. : the Connecticut range and the connecting highlands, which was evidently that on which the Slenipotentiarics wished to agree. It seems but reasonable ihat the whole valley of the St. ohn was intended to belong to tho British Possessions, for ft is contrary to the spirit of the treaty to leave 15,(X)O,00O, un absurdly low tiguro, covered eleven millions of acres, and completely intercepted the communication between Canada and the Maritime Provinces. It was in the occupation and under the jurisdiction of Great Britain. In 1831, the King of UoUaud communicated his decision to the Plenipotentiaries. It was as follows :— Wo uro of oiilnloii that It will bo oxpoiliunt to adoirt rb tlio boundary of tho two StfttoH a lino drawn duo north from t'lo Bourcu of thu lllvcr St. CroU to tho jioint whcro It Uitomectd tho mlddlo of tlio tlinlwetf of thu lllvcr St. John. lhi!Uco tho uilddlo of tho tlmlweif of that river, lUCeudlnEr It, to tho point whcro tho KLvcr St. Francin oiiiiitliB Itself hitu tho IHvor St. JiJin, thoncu tho mlddlo of tho thalwuif of tho Itlvor St. KruncLj, ancondlug It, to tho kouvco of lu Bouth-wcstuniiuost briiuth, which source wo indicated on tlio map A by the lotttcr X, authenticated by tho blBUiituio of our MlnlHter of Foreigh Aftalra, thente a lino drawn duo wctt to the ixiint whore It unites with tho lino claimed by tho United States of America, and delineated on the mai) A.

Tho mop still exists ui tho geographical department of tho French Archives of Forclt-n Aftalra, and the line runs wholly south of tho ^t.

It is the lino contended for bv Great Britain, excepting that it aUowr, what Britain noTer afterwardi insisted on, that tho valleyi of all the rivors intersected by the duo north lind from the St. Croix to Man Hill should be British territory.

Tho wr>rd3 " along that parallel to tho Rocky Mountains" brinK undor notioo a deviation from tho tormg of tho original Treaty of 1783, which wore, as will bo scon on reference to its text, above, viz : " thence on a duo west course to tho Bivor Mississippi." It was discovered that a line drawn duo west from tho most north-westerly point of the Lako of Clio Woods passed altogether to tho north of tho Mississippi rivor. Now, if tho rule which was to its fullest extent applied to tho north-west angle of JNova Sootia had boon ever so little applied to tho due west lino, it would have been changed into a line running to some point on tbo Mississippi, but this would not suit : tho Amerioans proceeded on their systematio course of aggression ; tho words of tho Treaty of 1783 woro not admitted as requiring that tho Mississippi should bo a point in tho frontier ; a view which any impartial man would naturally take : and it was urged that as tho line did not strike th;: Mississippi, it must run on, due west, at least as far as tho Rook^ Mountains. Great Britain, unfortunately for us. admitted this, and tho settlement was mado in a Convention executed in October, 1818, as follows :— Art, IV. It le agreed that a lino drawn from the moit north- western point of tho Lako of tho Woods, along the 49th parallel of north latitude, or It tho said |)oint shall not bo in the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, then that a lino drawn frr;m tho enid pointduo north or south, as tho case maybe, until the laid lino Bb.'.ll intersect tho said parallel of north latitude, and from the point of such Intorseotlon duo west along and with tho said parallel, shall bo tho 1 lno of demarcation l>etween tho torritorlos of tho United States and those of His Britannia Majesty', and that tho said llnofihall form tho northern boundary of tho said territories of the United States and tho loathem boundary of the torritorlos of Ills Dritonnlc Majesty, from the Lake of tho Woods to tho Stonjr Mountains. By this convention, a vast territory was surrendered by Great Britain. The most northerly branch of the Mississippi is a degree and a half south of tho said point on tho Lake of tho Woods, so that if tho lino nod been run west from the Mississippi, wo should still have hadaboltof land a hundred miles in width, from tho Mississippi to tho Rocky Mountains, more tlian wo have now. Tho original boundary granted to tho States, it must however bo rcmemboied, was tho Mississippi ; and when its extension westward was permitted, tho lino might well have boon drawn with soino regard to tho natural features of the country. Then, wo should havo had control of tho whole valley of tho Rod River, instead of, as now, seeing tho major portion of its course belonging to Minnesota and Docotah ; the valley of the Mouse river, an important affluent of tho Assinoboino, would have been all ours ; not to spoak of the influcnco which an equitable settlement of this boundary would havo had on that of the lino on tho Pacific Coast. This naturally brings us to the question of our boundaries near to the Pacific Ocean, and tho examination of this subject is much facilitated by an exhaustive summary of the facts antecedent to 1840), written in that year by Mr. E. A. Meredith, entitled '• Tho Oregon Ques- tion." Tho Americans, it will bo remembered, claimed all tho Pacific shores as far as the garallcl of 54® 40' north, basing tho claim (1) on their treaty with Spain in 1819, by which pain dotlncd tho parallel of 42*^ as beina the boundary between her possessions in Mexico and the United- States, and (2) on their own discoveries there. Indeed they made, in 1822, a Treaty with Russia, in which it was agreed that neither party should make any establish- ments upon tho coasts of tho Pacific north or south of 54 ° 40' as tho case might be. Great Britain claimed undor tho Nootka Convention mode with Spain inl790. The oonstoucti ve claims of tho Americans undor tho Spanish treaty of 1819, Mr.Merodith's pamphlet thoroughly disposes of; their claims founded on discovery are equally absurd, fot no such discovery could bo com- menced before thny woro a nation, in 1783, and in fact thoy woro simply theso, that Capt Gray, i n May of 17U2, sai led ten miles up tho Columbia river; that thirteen years afterwards Lewis and Clarkc.two American citizens crossed the Rooky Mountains, in tho southern portion of the terri- tory, and by means of one of tho southern tributaries of the Columbia reached that river, which they followed to the Pacific. Tho or'lysettlomont they ever had there was Astoria, which tho British took possession of in 1813 as being within their lines and re-christened Fort George, and which the States claimed should be surrendered under Art- I. of tho Treaty of Ghen., providing for tho restitution of captured territory.* Of the British claim, Mr. Morctlith writes as follows : '* To do justice to tho discoveries of Great Britain, I should go back to " 1597, and rcmin(^ you of tho discoveries of tho famous Drake on this coast; I should dwell " also upon tho accurate and well authenticated voyages of Cook, in 1778. I shall, however, " content mysolf with stating that to Captain Cook belongs tho discovery of Nootka Sound " and of Cape Flattery, at tho entrance of the Fuca Straits, and that Berkley, a British " captain, first sailed through theso straits." In 1792, Vancouver, who was dispatched by tho British Government in 1792 1«> witness the fulfilment on tho nart of Spain of tho terms of tho Nootka Convention, circumnavigated the island which now boars his name, and in October of that year, his lieutenant, Broughton, aseendod the ColumbialOO miles from itsonouth, and took possession of the country in the namo of England. Moreovert Mr. Thompson, astronomer to tho Iludsons' Bay Company, explored the Columbia and established fortified trading posts upon it in 1800, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1811. The first treaty stipulation between England and the States, with reference to this subject, is tho Art. III. of tho Convention of 1818, by which it was agreed that all claims of either party should be held in obcyance, without detriment to either, for ten years, l^he provision was renewed in 1827, indefinitely. After tho fierce excitement of 184*1, tho matter was to some extent settled by tho Treaty of Washington, 1846, which is as follow > :— Art. I. From tho point on tho 49th parallel of north latitude, where the bonndary laid down In existtner treaties and convGutions between Grejit Dritain and tho United states terminates, tlio lino of boundary between the territories of nis Britannic Majesty and those of tho United States shall bo continued westward along tho said 49th parallel of north latitude, to tho middle of tho channel which soparatcs tho continent from Vanconvcr's Island ; and thenco southerly, through tho middle of the said channel and of Fnca's Btraita to the Poclflo Ocean ; pnyided howcTer, * Fort Ocorgc was restored in 1808, notoriously on tho imderstonding that the British claims to the territory should not be a^ectsd by thu surrender, these claims being then under negotiation in London. igh that Uko i Naiiiccnn, knu inLaclal'liiia, -wcKtor.i point ng In laliludo nocoriilng to parallel tuthe lulouir tholinu ir to tlio rtgoau c«, a deviation oronce to its point of tho , if tho rule id boon over ling to 80D10 :d on thoir as rcquirine ,1 man would nust run on, AS, admitted \)llow8 :— ''oodi, along the Itude, then that tsraoct tho naU arollel, ihall bo y, and that tho joundory a{ th* The most on tho Lake Id still have Mountains, however bo tod, tho line ntry.

Whe.it will not grow near the coast and corn will not rijien, so that the people are obliged to import almost all their farinaceoun food. There is, however, one part of the Province which is exceptionally favored, vli., the Ii.iy of I''undy shore. The winds seem to sweep into this Hay, as itito a funnel, from the mild waters of the Oulf stream, and make of a couple of counties of Nova Scotia a garden where the nlum, the pear, the best of apples, and many other such products, come to perfection, all the more astonishing from the contrast which the Atlantic and the Gulfcoasts of the same Province offer. a. Newfoundland.— The mean of the various months at St. John's, Newfoundland, is :— Jan. »3 3 Feb. Mar. April May. _334 39-3 June 48.0 July. ib.a Aug. Sept. Oct. 44- S Nov. o 340 Dec.

Ilishop Smithsonian Institution give 88^, in August, 1859, as the hishesl, and 86 0, in July, 1834, as the two highest markings. The Smithsonian tables «ve - 14 ^ , in February, 1834, as the lowest point reaclipd, a degree of cold which is of rare occurrence. The fogs which prevail on the Banks do not extend to the Is^nd, except with certain winds, and the mean obscuration of the sky at St. John's is not more than in the other chief cities of North America. Some parts of the Island grow fair nardwood, but the neigh- bourhood of the Fishing Stations is generally of poor soil, and supports, in addition to moss, only a small growth of spruce. The agricultural capabilities of Newfoundland are undoubtedly considerable : wheat will grow in places ; barley and oats everywhere, and thit even temperature permits o( the regular growth of grasses, so that it ought to be as well adapted for sheep farming and grazing as any other part of North America. Potatoes and all garden vegetables, sucn as cabbages, carrots, turnips, are brought to the highest perfection. There appears to be no reason why Newfoundland should not, some day, be the home of an agricultural population numbered by millions. This sketch would be incomplete without some allusion to the climate of British Columbia. Covering so vast a territory, it is of course to be expected that there should be great differences in its temperature, and such is really the case. Vancouver's Island has less monthly variation than the mainland ; the coast of the mainland than the interior. The coast-regions are moist, but the westerly and southeriy winds leave most of their rains behind them before they pass the first range of moun- tains, and the mild English climate of Vancouver's n-erges into that of the Saskatchewan valley and the valleys of the rivers tlowing into the Arctic ocean, mile by mile as those regions are approached. The recorded mean temperatures of Victoria, V. I., and New W»stminster are : — Jan.

From the above review it will be teen that the climate of all British America is what Blodget calls "formidable." It, moreover, presents its most unfiavourable features to the stranger or the casual visitor. All vesteli coming firom Europe cross the Banks of Newfo\indland. " It is a dreary locality," says the Right Rev. Dr. Mullock, ot St. Johns, " and t\w> iiimust L^nstant fog and drizzling rain, the dole- " ful sound of the fog-horn, with ships' guns calliaj, iheir crews, the troubled ocean, the ships rolling " almost under the waves, as they ride at anchor t>y their hempen cables, steadied by their main or " tugsails in addition to their moorings— all tl>ese make an impression on a stranger which he never " after forgets, , . . And he is surprised wA»ft >)(> is told that for ten months in the year all the " fog and damp of the Banks goes to the otkct sidti of the Atlantic, while wc (in Newfoundland) never " have the benefit of it unless what we call the outi-winds blow." Again, all our railways pass through thn tMKt mvitine sections of the country. The farmer naturally build* his house to face the gravel road, aztd not the railway ; the railway company seeks out the least improved and therefore least expensive track, also in most cases the neignbournood of valleys not yet reclaimed firom swamp. He that travels by rail from Halifax to Windsor, MT. S., from Quebec to Montreal, from Prescott to the Capital at Ottawa, or on almost any other route, and forms his opinion of the country by the rocky or swampy or sandy deserts he passes through, falls into serious error. So with our rivers. The banks of^many of them are not yet cultivated, owing to the rising of the waters in the spring. It is only in old settled localities that habitations, field and meadows can be seen from the steamers' decks. But somehow it often happens that where nature is most formidable, nay, most repulsive to the careless observer, she is kindest to the loving wooer and most liberal to the patient worker. The leaden skies which cover the Banks of Newfoundland point out from afar the haunts ot » fish more valuable far to man than all the painted denizens of Southern waters. The snows which ii winter hide the soil of Canada, cover also nrms which yield more merchantable products to the tore than the lands of the more balmy South. As taxation is said by the political economist not to be an unmixed evil in that it is an incentive to exertion, so the rigour of oiw winters, even when not directly bene- ficial as it is in some cases, appears but to stimulate our people to profitable exertion in the summer. When we read of roses blooming in the South at a time when Frost and Heat are still disputing for dominion here, we are apt to envy the dwellers in the Carolinas or the Southern States. But on reflection we may find that we have much compensating good. Not to speak of our mode of Govern- ment, which now shews so bright a contrast to theirs, there are elements of health and wealth-among us so valuable that we need not desire to exchange the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence for those of the Gulf of Mexico. ^■1 , I!

The temperatures given above, are highly^ important not only in an agricultural but in a commercial point of view, as affecting the opening and closing of the various harbors and canals in the Dominion and adjacent islands. Happily, by the new Union, we secure Atlantic harbors open at all times in the year. St. John and St. Andrew's, N. B., are never closed; Halifax but seldom. The inland waters, however, are frozen every season, so that winter trajfic is thrown entirely upon the railways. Lake Erie is said at times to be frozen quite across. This is not the case with Lakes Ontario, Huron, and Superior, but their harbors are invariably closed, although powerful inland ferry steamers at almost .-•U times keep up communication across the Niagara, Detroit, and St. Clair rivers or straits. The following are the dates of opening and closing of several important harbors and canals : — Date of Opening 1862. 1S63. 1S64. 1865. i865. 1S67. Suebec arbor. April Alay April May II.

PUBLIC REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE/ The Publie Revenue and Expenditure of the Provinces now constituting the Dominion of Canada must stiU be given separately, and they were as follows for the latest fmanclal year of which we have available statements. The accounts of the ci-devant Province of Canada have, since 1856, been under the specia) super- intendance of John Langton, Esq. From the formation of the Audit Office, of which he is chief, he laid down as a principle tiiat the gross receijits should be shown on one side of the account and the gross payments on the other, so that Parliament should have an opportunity of scrutinizing all the details of each. From this it follows that the expenditure and revenue both appear greater than under the system formally pursued. In the other Provinces, a great deal of the expenditure and revenue is made by Boards, which return their net revenue or draw for their surplus expenditure as the case may be, and the same full detail has not been piocurable. Tlie public accounting of the Dominion will be carried on upon Mr Langton's improved system. Canada — Omtario, and Quebec. The accounts for tlie year ending June 3oih, 1S66, are tlie l.Ttest published. They show the total receipts to have been j!i2, 672,880, and the total payments ^^12,418,106. It is, however, necessary for the proper examination of the matter to make sundry deductions from these sums, for, on the one hand, to arrive at the Ordinary Expenditure, amounts spent upon what a railway financier would call "capital account," such as sums spent for redeeming old debts, should be deducted ; and to arrive at the Ordinary Revenue on the other, receipts from loans, the sale of securities held for Sinking Funds, &c., should be taken off the gross receipts. We therefore present the account in the following shape : — RECEIPT.S— 1865-6. Ordiiiary Revenue.

It is a difficult task to say what the revenue and expenditure of Nova Scotia are — many of the branches bein^ under the control of Boards. Moreover, the payments made By the Receiver General correspond neither with the Financial Secretary's statement of warrants issued nor with the account of the Expenditure of the Province given by the Committee on Public Accounts. The following statement, however, is not far astray, though it is liktly that when the gross expenditure and the gross receipts come to be put down under the system which will henceforth be adopted, both sides of the account will be much swelled. It appears to the writer that the statements made about the cheap way in which Nova Scotia has hitherto been governed must be taken with a great deal of reserve. RBCBIPTS. 1866. PAVMBNTS.

All injustice is, moreover, prevented under the Union Act by the asssumption by the Dorainian of the debts of the Provinces at ixed sums, vis, : For Ontario and Quebec, #63,500 000, or #20.33 per head: for Nova Scotia, #8,000,000, or #31.69 Per head; for New Brunswick, #7,000,000, or #33.73 per head. The interest charge on these amounts, at s per cent, is : For Ontario and Quebec, #3,135,000, or #1.00 per head; for Nova Scotia, #400,000, or $1.08 per head; for New Brunswick, 350,000, or #1.18 per head— amounts which will have to be paid to the public creditors of the several Erovinces on their account, the balance to be added to or deducted fi-om the grants of 80 cents per ead to be made to them by the Dominion for the expenses of their local governments. The Dominion thus starts with a debt of #77, 500,00a Newfoundland and Prince Edward Islanix The debt of Newfoundland, on 31st Dec. 1866, was :— r .manent Debt $968,581 Floating Debt 315,081 The Floating Debt was chiefly due to the Union Bank. ,18^,663 The debt of Prince Edward Island, on 31st January 1867, was #445,143, having been increased during the year by the purcliase of the Cunard Estates for $338,500.

' :■-■'. The monetary laws in the various parts of the Dominion are not as yet identical. The subject ot Banking being, however, under the control of the General Government, there is reason to believe they will soon be assimilated. In Ontario and Quebec it has been the custom of the Legislature to grant charters of incorpora- tion* to any persons of good standing who apply, giving them special privileges, among others that of issuing Bank Notes of any denomination as a circulating medium. These are not a legal tender, but they are redeemable in gold on demand at the place of issue, and the character of the Banks is such that they have always Men held in equal estimation with gold ; the shareholders being moreover res- ponsible to the holders of Notes to twice the amount of their shares. The Banque du Peuple is the only exception. Its shareholders' liability is limited to the amount of their shares. Kach Baak also accepts the Notes ef all the others, at par. The Banks are all obliged to held ten ptr cent, of their Paid-up Capital in Government Securities. They make monthly returns to Government of their Assets and Liabilities, and pay duty half-yearly at the rate oXontptrcent. per annum en the amount by which their average circulation exceeds the combined average of Specie and Government Securities. Therd is n« tax upon Stocks, but Bill Stamps have to be imposed on Bills of Exchange, Drafts and Promissory Notes. In New Brunswick, charters have been granted as in the Provinces formerly called Canada ; the Government, however, imposes no tax upon Circulation or Stocks. The Banl'.3 are called upon to make returns of their Assets and Liabilities to the Lieut. Governor. In Nova Scotia the general system is similar, save that the Banks are debarred by Statute from issuing Notes of less denomination than five pounds. They make returns to Government, rather irregularly, ef their Paid-up Capital, Circulation, &c. At the last session of the Parliament of the former Province of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) an Act was passed " To provide for the issue of Provincial Notes " ; under which the Government has made arrangements with the Bank of Montreal to surrender its circulation and issue instead the Notes of the Government, which are lesal tender every where, so long at. thev are redeemable in specie on demand at the «. .'.ces vf issue, which are established in Montreal and Toronto, and will probably be soon epened in Halifax and St. John. In Ontario and Quebec, the Banks are allowed to charge 7 per cent discount, deducted in advance, for accommodation. Tliey also usuallv charge \ per cent more on each separate transaction, under the name of commission or -wllecting the Note, which are made payable elsewhere. There is also a small deduction for Bill Stamps. In New Brunswick and Nova Scotia the Banks are only allowed to charge interest at the rate of 6 per cent. In practice, however, these restrictions are of small importance, for the Banks necessarily give accommodation in proportion to the value of their customers' accounts— the sums they keep on deposit, &c., and the competition between them, not the arbitrary legal rate of interest, is the best guarantee against their making usurious charges. The position ofthe majority of the Banks throughout the Dominion ' "ery sound, their Stocks, with seme few exceptions, standing at or above par. They pay dividends o , t to 10 per cent. The Year Book for 1867 contains, at page 29, a table shewing the amount ^i the Paid-up Capital, Notes in Circulation, Deposits, Specie held and Notes Discounted by the Banks of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) from January, 1861, to June 30th, 1S66.

" It seems evident that, were the Government to order its officials at the Custom Houses, Post ( )ffices, &c., to take no other Notes but its own, the Government ir.sue would snon replace all olheni. Whether it would be prudent to take such a step is a question too !on^ to be -llscussed in this pl.ico. All the Bank Charters of Quebec and Ontario Banks terminate in 1870, when, if not before, a settlement of the question of a Government Currency will prob.ibly be conic to.

In future years, however, we may be able to watcli the monthly fluctuations of Bank business throughout the Dominion, for the Banks of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have already been called upon to make monthly statements too.

Bank Note engraving has become an established industry in Canada since our last Year Book was written. All that was previously done was the mere printing of the plates engraved in the United States. The Government circulation .ibove alluded to was principally engraved and wholly printed by the British American Bank Note Company of Montreal and Ottawa. The machinery they employ, which combines all the modern improvements, is very costly and most beautiful in its operation, and of itself merits a visit to Ottawa to see. Like the American Companies which do this buphiess, the Canadian Company is formed by a union of men of talent in the several kinds of engraving wi.^U have to be brought to bear on a Bank Note. It is not too much to say that the engraving of the Govern- ment circulation and of the rotes of the Bank of Commerce, also done by the Canadian Company, is of a character of which any country may' well be proud, especially a young one like the Dominion ; and it is also cause for satisfiction that to a Canadian — Dr. T. S. Hunt of Montreal — belongs the credit of inventing the only ink— a peculiar green called the Canada Bank Note Printing Tint, to be seen on aln:<;0t all our notes — which defies the art of the photographic counterfeiter of currency.

The Saving* Banks of Quebec and Ontario art of three kinds ; those conducted under an old Act, now repealed except as to Banks actually established, which vests their managements in unpaid trustees ; those which, after being carried on for some time, have obtained special charters ; and those manaj|ed by Building Societies. Most of the chartered Banks also receive small sums on deposit allowing interest upon them, but very few of these depositors bek>ng to the laboring classes. I'here is but one Savmgs B«nk in Nova Scotia (excepting a small Penny Savings Bank, at Halifax) ; it is a Government mstitution, office at Halifax. In New Brunswick, too, the Government takes charge of the savinga of the people, the District Treasurers in eisht places, acting as agents. At St. Jehn, the Government has no Savings Bank officers, the St. John Savings Bank acting as its agent. This Bank holds f 178,000 of debentures at 6 per cent, and the t^,jip, (1 ner cent.) difference between the amount received on the amount paid to depositors forms its chief reliance for expenses, its total assets being, on Dec. 31st, Provincial Debentures, 1543,835 ; City Corporation Bonds, jlai.^te: Real Estate and Building, 114,140; Caah, *3.9«7 ■■ l593.47»« Ihe following are the latest statistics bearing on the subject :— Ontario.

The frugal among the working classes desire safety rather than a high rate of interest. The extension of a system of Savings Banka would promote frugality, interest multitudes in the stability of our institutions, and by creating a " home owned debt," would make the Government more independent of foreign money markets— all objects so desirable that it is to be hoped Parliament will at an early data seriously consider the subject. The writer does not believe the Post OfBca is the best means of establishing a Savings Bank system, but would rather see Post Office Savings Banks established this year than wait until next for a different system. It seems that from is to f 10 per head of the population, ('. /. from |jo,ooo,ooo to 1^40,000,000 would in two or three years be placed on deposit, enougli to pay our debentures as they fall 'due. We may here add that the Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island Savings Banks are both Government institutions. Prince Edward Island pays 5 per cent interest on deposits ; office at Char- lottetown ; deposits, 31st January 1867, 140,099, all in the handa of Goverimient. Newfoundland pays 4 per cent ; officea at St. John and Harbor Grace. The following are the figures respecting it, Dec. 30th, 1866 :— Amount on deposit ^8,866 Deposited during 1866 1107,399 Withdrawn " 141.638 Interest paid or credited 118,857 Surplus profits paid over to the Treasury for the use of the Colony 7,300 Number of depositors 1,400 Assets :— Cash I39>a9s Debentures 459,019 Water Company Stock 65,000 Mortgages 59.016 Notes discounted 1S.419 Real estate 3,747 1640,333 BUILDING SOCIETIES. It is probably the want of a Savings Bank system in Ontario and Qt'cb'.'C which has led to th* extraordinary development in these Provinces, especially the former, of what are called Building Societies. Building Societies are of two kinds. Permanent and Terminable. In both these kinds, shares are acquiredby the payment of so much per month ; their distinctive features being, in general terms, these :~ In Terminable Societ' ... interest is only paid on invested moneys when the societies are wound up by the expiration of loans made, and then principal and accumulated interest are returned together. Such societies are few, and have not as a rule been prosperous. In them, too, the money for disposal is put up at auction, and the shareholders' necessities being the measure of their biddings, a heavier premium is often paid than the borrowers can afford. In Permanent Societies, on the contrary, shareholders receive dividends half yearly, and the principal once invested cannot be realized except by sale in the open market. A uniform scale of interest is established by these societies, and all borrowers who have satisfactory security to offer stand on the same footing. The peculiar features of loans made by Building Societies are (i) that at each re-payment a certain portion of the principal is re-paid together with the interest, and (2) that such re-payments can be made monthly or auarterly. Thus, Building Society mortgages are almost always pain onT, as the experience of the Canaaa Permanent, the largest of them, proves ; mortgages, when interest only is payable, far too seldom. Indeed, Building Societies have acted zi credit /oncier establishments, ana- are no doubt destined to continue to pla^ a most important part in assisting in the development of the country. Many Building Societies have established Savings Bank branches (for details, see the preceding article) and the profits ou the investment of savings thus received, above the amount of interest paid, have added to their shareholders' dividends. Savings invested with Building Societies are by law not to exceed a certain proportion of their assets, and as they are a first charge on such assets, the Buildine Society Savings branches are very safe. Building Societies are not controlled by Government, except that they are obliged to make returns to the Auditor, of the last of which, for Quebec and Ontario, the following is a summary :— :1.

Orj^aitiaalioH 0/ Comtanies.—Tha "Montreal" Telegraph Comnany purch.i9ed, March ist, i.Vi;, the interest of the " I'rdviMci.il." The lease of the Nova Scotia lines wan, at about the name time, transferred to the " Wcitern Union" instead of the " American" Telesraph Company, and the fiirnicr ceded to the "New Vork, Ncwrotindland and London" Company, August 1st. the control of the Cape Drcloii jinrtion llu.-rcof. The "Western Union" now controls the two New Urunswick Companies also. 1 here iliu.s remain in the Dnriiiniun tlie following Telegraph Companies ; — I.

Also one at Dalhousie, N. B., mile. The New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company own 84 miles of cable betv en Port au Basque (Nfld.) and Aspy B.iy, C. B. ; also lu miles between Cape Torraentine, N. B., uiid Cape Traverse, P. K. 1. (/>) The Nova Scotia Company has two cables of 3 miles each across the Gut of Canso, one at Pugwash, i mile; and one at Anchat, i mile. The NIontreal Telegraph Company, the New York, Newfoundland atid London Telegraph Com- pany, and the Western Union Telegraph Company, arc. all busily increasing their net work of lines. The Montreal Telegraph Company now reaches almost every village in Quebec and Untario, The New York, Newfoundland and London Company is about laymg a new submarine cable from Placentia (Nfld.) to .Sydney (C.B.) The Nova Scotia lines have been lately brought into communication with tlic co.il mines, and the Western Union Company is now stringing soonioremilesof wire in that Pro- vince, for the transmission of its increasing European business, and lines and offices will shortly be established fvir the benefit of the gold mining district.^. We may here add, that the length of posts and wire in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Lsland is as follows : — In Newfoundland, 649 miles of {msts, 1,316 miles of wire, owned by the New York, Newfoundland and London Company. In Prince Edward Island, 30 miles of wire and posts, owned by the New York, Newfoundland and London Company, and 30 miles of posts and 50 miles of wire by private parties.

The alxjve messages do not include "through" messages, such as thnse by >he Atlantic cable between Europe and the United States, but arc those originating,^or delivered at different places in the Dominion. Contieeiions.— The Montreal Telegraph Company's lines connect with the New Driinswick lines at Campbelltown, those of New Brunswick with those of Nova Scotia at Sackville, to which place the Mont teal Telegraph Company's wires extend, and with the Prince Edward Island cable at Cape Tormentine. The Nova Scotia lines connect with New York, Newfoundland and London wires at Plaster Cove, on the Gut of Canso. («) Estlmuto. ill) Wo holicro w« may lay claim t M I J 66 /Railways.

The stock of the principal lines stands, consequently, at a high premium. The value of Telegraphic property in the Dommion is probably nearer $2,000,000— a considerable investment since 1847, when the Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara and St. Catherines Electro- Magnetic Telegraph Company was incorporated, and a simple uninsulated copper wire was put up between the places named !

The first lino constructed, that from Montreal to Lachino, was opened but twenty years oro ; the Grand Trunk and Groat Western but ten, while tho lino that will connect tho various Provinces of the Dominion with each other and givo unity to their several railway systems is yet to bo constructed. Tho Montreal and Lachino Railway was built of the American guage, 4 feet 8J inches. After long discussions in Parliament and elsewhere, tho Canadian guago was subsequently fixed at 5 feet inches. Tho Prescott and Ottawa, tho Grenvillo and Carillon, and the St. Lawrence and Industrie Railways, nevertheless, are of tho n.irsow guagc : tho first n.amcd, because it was tlesigned to connect with tho American railways at Ogdensburg without change of cars, r.ithor than with tho Canadian linos; tho others, because they aro short roads, wanting no connections or heavy freight traffic. The Montreal and Champlain road, (including tho road to Lachino) now under tho management of tho Grand Trunk, and the Great Western Railway, have tho narrow guage, but for its connection with tho Victoria Bridge, three rails aro laid. All tho rest are of tho Provincial medium puage. Tho following aro tho several lines of Railway, beginning from the West :— 1. The Great Wentern ^at7icn?/.— This line was built to connect tho New York Central Railroad with the Michigan and Illinois lines over Canadian soil, and has always much sought after the through traffic from Chicago to New York. At an early period in its history, when threatened by a diversion of its traffic to tho lines on tho south shore of Lake Erie, it powerfully aided the construction of a lino from Detroit to Grand Haven, so as to control at least tho traffic from Milwaukee and Northern Michigan. Within tho past year, acting on tho same principle, it has laid down a third rail to suit the guago of tho American railways, and by what is called " tho Bluo line," passcnsers aro now carried throuRh from Now York to Chicago, without change of cars. Tho Great Western connects at Detroit with tho Michigan lines, and has magnificent ferry steamers there which carry a whole train at h time across tho river. It connects with tho New York Central at Clifton, by moans of a Suspen- sion Railway Bridge across tho Niagara— a structure which is as great a triumph of engineering art as tho Victoria Bridge itself. It connects with tho Grand Trunk, principally by means of a branch from Hamilton to Toronto, also by a branch from Ilarrisburg, through G.alt, to Guelph. Another important branch runs from Koinoka to Sarnia, on Lake Huron, where and at Hamilton the Company owns fine grain stores and elevators. A short lino has also been oponed to tho Oil regions, at Petrolia. The traffic on tho Great Western Railway, sinco January, 1865, has been as follows :— 1865. 1866. 1867. 1805. 1866. 1867.

The Grand Trunk Eailwnv.—li tho Groat Western wa.s originally built to carry western traffic to tho Atlantic at Now York, tho Grand Trunk Railway was built for the opposite purpose of carrying it as far a.s possible through Canada, and delivering it at tho Bor\ board at Montre.il, Quebec. Portland, or if necessary, even Boston. Tho accommodation and dcTelonmcnt of tho local traffic of Canada was also a leading idea of tho projectors of this line, which, without derog.ating from tho credit duo to tho originators of the Great Wostera, must bo called pre-eminently, tho Canadian Railway. It is to bo regretted, that at the building of the Grand Trunk, the Great Western wasnotamnlfeamatcdwithit, as was at first intended, and mado its western section. The misunderstanding which then occurred has had grievous conseauencos— tho railways which should have been friends have always beenrivals, to the detriment of their shareholders, and thus ultimately to that of tho Province as well. Tho Grand Trunk owns a branch railway from Detroit to Port Huron, oppof"*'eS.arnia, so that it competes at Detroit with other lines for the trafiSo of tho West. It 1 xs fine ferry steamers ntSarnia, and an unbroken lino from this place to River du Loup, below Quebec, on the St. Lawrenco, and to Portland, on tho Atlantic. Tho lino crosses the St. Lawrence at Montreal by means of tho Victoria Bridge, and bifurcates nt Richmond. Tho Gr.ind Trunk has recently acquired control over tho liufFalo and Lake Huron Railway, from Goderieh to Buffalo, whore it has ferry boats connecting with tho New York railways. Also of the Montreal and Champlain R.ailway, which gives it an alternative route to Boston nnd New York. It has branches from St. Mary's to London, and from Arthabaska to Doucet's Lauding, opposite Three Rivers.

Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton Railvoay, and Peterboro' iranch. — We now come to oneof a class of railways of a different character to theso previously mentioned. The roads above named, all seek for and Iv ain more or less "through traffic " ; not so the Port Hope line, which depends on local train alone. It was built partly to give tho fine agricultural country in rear an outlet to the liont, but chiefly to enable the lumber which abounds in the ba«k townships to bo brought t'> Lake Ontario. Tho branch lino from Milbrook to Peterboro' was at first owned by an independent company, which had the right of using the rails of the main lino from Milbrook to Port Hope ; both lines came under one management in January, 1867. This causes somo difficulty in carrying back a table of the receipts of the companies far, but the following is a statement from January, 1865 :— 1867. January . . February .

Cobourpt Peterboro' and Marmora RatYwaj/.— The Cobourg and Peterborough road has long been in an unfortunate position. The bridge by which it crossed Rice Lake on the way from Cobourg to Peterboro' was broken up by tho efilects of ice some years since, and ithas not been rebuilt. In 1865 and 1866, the 14 miles from Cobourg to tho Lake were used to bring down lumber, with monthly receipts of from $2,500 to $5,000. It has now, fallen into other hands, has added Marmora to its name, and expects to do a considerable mineral traffic. The following are the statistics of its position— 1866 :— . Length of road open for traffic— miles l4 Cost of road, 1900,000 ; capital r0duced by Act of Parliament to $100,000; now returned at $109,000 Receipts of tho year 16,670 Workmg expenses 13,390 Renewals, 01 Receipts fr6m do $40,127 Hands employed, 12G; killed, ; injured, 2.

Ottawa and Preacntt Railway.— Th\a is a narrow '*uago lino, so built to connect by ferry with tho American roads, but tho disadv.mtagcs of its want of connootion with tho Grand Trunk seem to have more than countcrbalanccHl this. Tho lino was for a long time in pecuniary dilBculties, and was lately bought by tho Ebbwvalo Iron Company, which has spent a good deal of money and is expending moro in putting it in thorough order and laying down steol rails.

The Now T^runs- wick and Canada Railway w.is built to coimoct St- Andrews, an open sea port, with Quebec, via River du Loup* but it has only reached Richmond, near Woodstock, less than one-third of the distinco. Tho penpio of St. Andrew's argue that it should bo brought into connection with tho Intercolonial Railway: Town of St John, that is too near tho frontier for that purpose.

Tho most Easterly work is tho St. Peter's Canal, leading into tho Bras d'Or, Cape Breton ; which is designed to aooommodato voiTcls of 22fcofc 6 in. beam ; not yet completed. Next comes tho Shubenacadio Canal, intended to connect Halifax with the Bay of Fundy by inland navigation. This work will no doubt some day bo finished on a proper sca'e, when it will be of groat scrvico to fishermen and -mail craft generally. It was undertalicn by a private company who failed to complete it properly. The B.ay Vorto Canal, to connect tho Bay of Fundy wi ^h the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is as yet but projected. No work beyond a survey has been accomplished. The St. Lawrenca navigation is 2,385 miles long, and eight Canals, of which seven are Canadian and one American,- -havo been built to make it practicable for all its ler gui. Tho works n hardly bo said to bo complete, though they havo been long in ii?e, lor thr. poncial desire urndtho ultimate intention is to enlarge them, so as to admit vessels of 1,000 to:iB to come from sea into Lake Ontario, if not Lakes Erio and Huron.

It ia of oxoeeding difficulty to state as facts any oircurastancoa connoctod with the shipping interests of this continent. The subject has never been made one of careful study by any statist having the sagacity to discover the short comings of the ordinary official returns and the oppurtiinity of liaving thorn remedied. Scarcely had tlie Year Book for 1307 soon tho light, when the writ3r received a communica- tion from Mr. Dorby, a irnitod States Commissioner, having special charge of Marino and Fisheries. Mr. Derby found fault with the statement that the tonnage of the United States was given at 1.579,694 tons only, new admeasurement— the ligures being given at page 1)3 in the Year ttook, copied from page 291 of Secretary McOullough's ''Finance Keport,, 1865," where we find the following :— Statement exhibiting the amount of Tonnage of the United States. 1865— Old Admeasurement 3,516,787 tons. I " Now " 1,579,694 " Cc- incident with Mr. Derby's letter, came a report of Mr. Commissioner Wells, stating thai iiiitiertho old sy.stem, the outside measurement of ships was taken, and that in the ca? ' i!' uppi'r Cabin Htoamer.o, the depth was taken from the top of the upper cabin roofs! Thi' 'K li. sut!iuieiit to decide tho Editor of tho Year /iook not to make any alteration in his ligua:.« !' it.il a uniforui system should bo adopted, and that system one which should admit ot it i <.' I oamparison with tonnage measured unpor tho British rules, lie feels very confident th.it tlio array of figures which United States authorities have compiled, and which show that their tannage has in some yoars exceeded 5,500,01)0 i,,-r,; (while the tonnage of Great Britain last year was only 5,027,500) aro utterly deceptive and unreliable. It may, however, be mentioned that Mr. Delmar, the Chief of the American Statistical Bureau, informed Mr. Derby that on investigation he found the tonnage owned in the United States to b(^ o,l'l)i,, 79 tons, new measurement, on 31st June, x '^iG. Nor oan a much more satisfactory statement be made, respecting the shipping of tho dominion. In Canada, we have indeed a series of tables shewing the tonnage registered and struck offUie Custom House lists eiich year, but there is no datum line from which to commence a reckoning— no statement of the number registered at any given time. And if there were, regi:'Ci-dtion and existence aro here two very diiforent things— a vessel may ply without being registered, and may be totally lost without being struck otf. In Now Brunswick, the registration of shipping hos been much better looked to, but OS New Brunswick is a ship-selling Province, the number of ships registered there varies according to tho state of tho market in England ; in a good year, the ships aro struck off in consequence of sales. In a hard year thuy stay on, and unnaturally swell the total. In Nova Scotia, very few of the ships wrecked, broken up, or sold abroad, wore struck off tho official lists until this year. The latest returns appear to show that the process has commenced, but the expurgation of them is not complete. , Added to aU this, comes the consideration that the measurement of ships is not all on a uniform plan in tho Provinces, or even in all parts of tho same Province. Tho tonnaso of the lakes, given in the last Yenr Hook, was taken from a register of vessels prepared by Capt. Thomas, for tho use of Lake Underwriters. Capt. Thomas has not issued any register for 16G7, but the Association of Canadian Lake Underwriters have had a register compiled.* with a copy of which the writer has been favored. The totals of this work for 1867, compare as follows with Capt. Thomas's for 1866 :— Steamers ■ . . Propellers. .. Bnrkentines. Brigantines. Sloops Schooners ... Totals. Capt. Thomas, 1866.

Thomas' book, are probably very near the truth. But though tho numbers and values of those vessels, bcin^r all those which trade on the lakes and RIvorSt Lawrence, ongaged in wiiat may be called internal navigation, few of which ever go to sea, may bo available for comparison with those of sea-going shipping, the tonnage is Amoridan. If wo say it is eiual to 80,000 tons new British measurement, it is a mere guess. Coming now to sea going vessels, we find that there wore registered in Montreal, at the end of 1866, under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1864, as owned in Canada :— 65 steamers of 15,764 tons, and 142 sailing vessels, ef 24,044 tons. Registered in Quebec, of 50 tons, and over, 472 vessels, 83,123 tecs of less than 50 tons ; 287, of 9,758 tons. Below the Port of Quebec (which extends to Bic) 170 Tosscis are owned in Canada— all sailing craft, with 12.300 tons. In New Brunswick, the rcMuns give as the vessels registered on December 3l8t 1866 :— At St. John, 612, of 195,199 tons; at Miraraichi, 141, of 16,323 tons ; at St. Andrew's, 230, of 22,413 tons— Total, 983, of 233,94o tons.* Of these 23, of 2,886 registered or 4,673 gross tonnage, are steam vessels. » President : Hon.

MONTREAL OCEAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY. The Montreal Ocean Steamship is so closely ideniified with the progress of the country that the Year Book would not be complete without a notice of jt. Among the first M0ntre.1l traders, long before the improvement of the channel of the St. Lawrence, were vessels belonging to the thraily of •lie Mossrs. Allan, and their ships have grown in number and value in .1 ratio commensurate with the progress of Montreal. The Montreal Ocean Steamship Company was formed in 1853 ; the first trip to Canada was made in 1854, but the regular mail service only commenced in i3<;6. It was then fortnightly, but in 1S59 it was made weekly, and so continues. • The individunls forming the Companjf are now ths owners of twenty sailing ships, of an .-aggregate of 20.000 tons. Of these six are built of iron, the remainder of wood, and they trade to ali parts of the world. They keep constantly in their employ about three thousand men, thus being the means of support for about fifteen thousand people, besides the large number of persons constantly engaged in building new vessels and repairing others. The magnitude of this establishment may be a surprise to many in the Colonics and elsewhere, for, taking in their sailing vessels, there ."xre only three or four larger companies in the world, two being the Cunard and the West India Royal Mail Company. The Inman Company is about equal. The capital of the Company in steamships, tenders, lighters, workshops, and plant, may be estimated at $5,000,000. The Company's vessels now comprise the following : — Mail Line. Peruvian 3,500 tns. | Nova Scotiam3,35o-tns. Hibernian 2,500 " I Belgian 2,250 " N'th Amerc'n. 1 ,763 tns. Damascus. ...1,600 " Austrian 3,650 tns. Ncstorian • . ■ . 2,650 " Moravian 2650 " Three new vessels of the larger class are now about to be built. ' Glasgow Link. St. David 1,650 tns. | St. Geoi^e. -.1,430 tns. | St. Andrew- -.1,430 tns. USt. Patrick... 1,300 tns. The Glasgow Line runs once a foilnight from each side. T he average length of passage made by these steamers compares favourably with any other line in existence, being nearly as follows : — Mail Line Westward 10 to 11 days.

The amount of immigrant tax collected in 1866 was $26,857, the expenditure of the Chief Emigrant A^ent and his department was $58,604, viz., $18,146 for the Quarantine establishment, and $14,180 spent in direct relief to immigrants, $12,017 for ageuts' salaries, $3,913 for agency expenses, $3,300 for inspecting physicians, and $7,419 for general expenditure. A great deal of this expense is incurred in connection witli " through passengers'' who land on our shores almost destitute, and expect to be forwarded by the Dominion to the Western Status. Mr. Buchanan classifies the 13,010 male steerage passengers who arrived in 1866, as under:— Farmers, 4,896; Laborers, 3,888 ; Miners, 943; Tailors, 375; Artists, lat ; Carpenters and 1 Joiners, 379 ; Clerks and Accountants, 336 ; Shoemakers, 70, besides about 800 mechanics of various trades, and a few of miscellaneous occupations. The Report of Mr. H. G, Pineo, on the immigration into Nova Scotia during 1866, is most inter- esting and instructive. The Nova Scotia Government resolved at the commencement of the year to force a large immigration, as the railway works and coal mines seemed to require a great deal of labor. They accordingly offered their British Agents $10 a head on every able-bodied immigrant sent out by them and landed in the Province. The total number that thus arrived was 933, of whom 119 were women and 117 children But Mr. Pineo reports that the great i.'i.i'i"rity of them have left the Pro- vince for the States, whither they origiiuMy intended going, and whil.' he says " it is no doubt essen- " tial that the most minute and extensive information of the Province, ns suitable to a^iculturists, " artisans, miners and laborers, should be constantly represented to the British public," he also remarks that "from the experience of this year, it appears that special inducements to miners, " mechanics and 'aborers tend to bringj to the Province a number of undeservable and unworthy "people, of indolent inclinations and vic^us dispositions ;_ unthriving at home and prone to think " that an- change would be for the better, with no higher wish than to live as comfortabljr as possible " with the smallest amount of work." It should, however, be noticed that the emigrants were chiefly coal miners, and that the coal mining;_industry of Nova Scotia was temporarily depressed when they arrived. The farmers and mechanics appear to have settled and done well. Both Mr. Pineo and Mr. Campbell (a special commissioner) recommend thkt the Government should take steps for clearing small patches of land, building small log houses, and selling the farms, with these improvements upon them, on easy terms of credit, either in Britain to intendiag emigrants or in the Province to farmers and others on arrival. _ The cost of the Emigration services of the year was $19,962, the principal items being: Agents in Great Britain, $5,580; immigrant depot, $3,079; loan to Burkner & Co., to facilitate settlement of immigrants, $3,000; to immigrants on arrival, $6,957. The emigrants ar.iving in New Brunswick, in 1866, numbered 808, of whom 358 are supposed to have gone on to t'.ie States, leaving 450 as the increase to the population from this source, as far as ascertained. They came chiefly in steamers from Great Britain, but they are said to be chiefly Irish by origin. The expense of this immi.^ration to the Province was $1,150, including the cost of advertising in British papers. New Brunswick levies no emigrant tax or head money. No new measures have been recently passed to encourage emigration, but it is thought the new Crown Lands regulations will incidentally have this effect. We may add, that there is no organized system for introducing emigrants into Prince Edward Island. Very few settlers have gone into that colony foi many years past. The " head duty" payable by masters of vessels bringing emigrants, is $3 for each statute adult. Neither is there as yet any emigrant agency established by Newfonndland, the policy of the British Go*'emment was, until recently, to discourage settlement in that Island, so that tne establishments mad>t there have been formed und,?r great duficulties and in the face of many discouragements. - . CROWN LANDS. The Crown Lands have bj[ tlie Act of Union been placed under the oc trol of the several Provinces composing the Dominion. Connected Ps the question of Orown Land policy is with the subjects of settlement and immigration, which again have a direct influence, under tho now constitution, on the subject of representation, this stop was probably necessary, although it undoubtedly has many theoretical disadvantages which it is.to be hoped will not manifest t ' ^niselves in the practical working of the new system. Ontario. -A ■ iie end of 1865, 25,031.838 acres of lands in Ontario had been surveyed, of which 21,74().t)55 had been disposed of by sale and free grant. This shewed as progress during the year 275.679 acres surveyed, and 258.313 acres sold. The lands are divided into Crown, School, Clergy and Indian lands. The proceeds of the sale of Grown lands go into the Provincial revenue, those of the others to special funds created for the support of schools, clergy or Indians. The value of lands depends of course on their fertility and their proximity to roads and markets. There has been a great deal of controversy as to the fertility of those bti'I open for settlement, and the truth appears to be that while there are no large wild tracts remain- ing ,0 uniformly fertile as the basin of the St. Lawrence river or the peninsula of Canada West, there is still available an immense area of richly productive land, within isotbermals which will allow of the profitable cultivation of wheat and the coarser cereals and corn, and if these fertile lands are indeed in patches or in river valleys, divided from eaoh other by rocky tracts and even hilly ranges, such formations contain rich mineral wealth which will ultimately be the basis of a branch of industry second hardly to agriculture itself. With some few exceptions. Crown lands are sold b" agents res idcnt in various districts, at 70 cents per acre for cash, and ©1 per acre on credit. The emoluments of the agents are :— 5 per cent, on the first i2.000 ; 2* per cent, on next »28.000 ; and U per cent, on any sum exceeding $30,000.

At the end of 1866. there were 25,871,502 acres of land surveyed in this Province and laid off into farm lots, besides 500,947 acres in the Gasp6 oil districts surveyed but not sub-divided. Of these 19,234,734 wore disposed of, shewing a progress during the year of 305,824 acres sur- veyed and 19 ).379 acres sold. Crown Lands Agents in Quebec receive the same emoluments as those in Ontario. The price of the wild lands \x. however less, as will bo seen by the following table :— Name. Residence. Agency.

The quality of those lands is of course vaiiable, but the vacant lanas on the south shore of the St. Lawrence are usually as fertile as any that have been settled, while there ara many fine river-valleys in the Ottawa district which are very inviting to the farmer. Nova Scotia. In Nora Scotia, Mr. S. P. Fairbanks, the Commissioner of Crown Lands at Halifax, who ia not a member of ^he Qovernment, conducts the business of the Department. Deputy Surveyors reside in every County, whoso duty it is to execute orders issued by their Principal, and to protect Crown property from trespassers ; they are furnished with plans of their respective Counties. They are as lollows :— Annapolis. Hush Kerr, William A. Calnek ; Cumberland, Charles D. Roach, Samuel O'Donnell ; Colchester, Isaac N. Archibald, Robert L. Byers ; Digby.lAlpheus Jones, Aasolm M. Comcau ; Ouysboro', Charles Taylor, William Uartshorno; Hants, Benjamin Smith, Gleo. F. McDonald ; King's, Edward E. Armstroxfir, George Niely ; Lunenburg, Edward U.

Fairbanks, James Davijson, James D, VanBuskirk , Piotou, James Holmes, Peter Ross ; Cape Breton, David MsKeen . Inverness, John Murphy, James U. Austin; Riohmoud, James McEenzio, John James Robertson; Victoria, Angus McKay. The system of disposing of the Crown Lands, is as follows :— The applicant presents, iii person or otherwise, at the oihcooftho Commissioner, a petition to His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, praying a Grant of a specified number of acres, with a general description of the locality, and at the same time pays into the Oflice of the Keceiver-Genoral a sum of money at the rate of $44 for 109 acres. The tr.act that will be granted is limited to 5()0 aaros, except with the special approval of the Governor in Council. No distinction is made in the price between 100 acres and smaller lots. The cost of surveys is paid by the Prevince. Upon receipt of the petition and money, an order of survey is issued to the DeputySurveyor of the County to survey and to report every particular descriptive of the lot— whether occupied or vacant, whether improved or; otherwise, as well as any objec- tions made to the passmg of the grant. The «rder of survey gives but an incipient right to the applicant— the report is for the information of the oiflce and the Government. Upon a return of survey and report, a report is drawn up by the Commissioner and sub- mitted to tha Bxooutiv e Committee, consisting of three members of the Government, who decide to whom the grant shall issue, in case the lot is claimed by more than one. All persons are strictly prohibited by law from entering upon Crown Lands, and cutting the wood without authority. The same law a>^ >s to the interfering with the mines or minerals. The Governor in Council is authorized to order surveys whenever required of large blo«ks of land, to be laid oir in lots of 100 acres for the accomodation of .settlers. This rule is made for the benefit of emigrants who receive licenses to settle without p.aying any cash. One prosperous Gorman settlement has lately been formed under its operation. The occui^ant of such lands are eatitled, in proforenco to any others, to become the purchaser of the said parcels of land, at the rate of forty-four cents per acre, on paying the ; aid sum by two equal instalments of $22, tha one half in two years from the.dato of the licet 1, and the other half at the expiration of the third year, with interest, Tha Crown Lands department of Nova Scotia has been quite active for some years past, as many lands have been purchased for the sake of the timber upon them. The Commissioner's report for 1866, supplies the following statistics :— Acres applied for 102,402 I Receipts from sales, &e $43,513 Do. granted 120,691 1 Disbursements 16,'J87 No. of Grants 677 Net proceeds $26,526 The net proceeds in 1864, were $18,806 ; in 1865, S29,975. According to the Commissioner there are 11,065,597 acres of land in Nova Scotia proper, and 2,464,640 in Cape Breton ; together 13,530,237 acres. Of these, 6,114,044 are gra;;t?d, and 7,315,282 ungranted lands. Nkw Brunswick. The report of the Now Brunswick Crown Lands Department for 1866 states that tbo Pro- vince contains about 17,347,360 acres, of which 9,674,587 nave been already granted or located, so that 7,672,773 acres remain vacant. The surveys are not much in advance of settlement, only about 200,000 acres being surveyed in excess of those sold. The regulations for the sale and settlement of the Crown lands passed in 1801 having been too frequent.', u friufred, a new order, dated Foby., ISGT, haa been issued. Under the old regulations, peisoii.^ applied for and secured tr.icts of 100 acres with the condition that they should become honAfide settlors, and they wore required to clear 2 acres within a year, 5 within five years, to reside on tho lot one year, and to perform statute labor on the road leading to or through the land as an equi- valent for a money purchase at the rate of 60 cents per acre. Tho new order is as follows :— It U orderoil iii CouncH, That any person who hns procured lard under thn Laboar Act (or ))m assijfna), boforo tho fii»t d»y of January, ISBl, but lias not yet resided and improved as prescribed by the llegulations, may apply to hiiva the n ilo caumiUid and tho lot advertised for sale by public auction, subject to tho payment o£ the value of existing improvomsats ; and if sueh person, or his ossii^s, bo tho purchaser, Ufty per cent, of the labour returned will be credited un tho purchase. It iijxtrtlier (hxlcyai, That all sales before 1st January, 1861 , to persons under the Labour Act, and not yet irrantod, kliall bi canccllod on tho first day of November, 1868, and tho lots then bocomo vacant, unless such forsons do previ- ously perform tho necessary couditions of payment, improvement, and rcsiduuce, or avail thumselvoa of tho privilege obtvo elfored. Tlic equitable interest of tho parties (or their assigns) who may have made tmprovomfnts or perforraod labour on noy of t' J lota v< be sold or forfeited, will in all cases lio fully protected njainst subscquont purcliitsors ; hut in no ca»c sliiill RUi^h pCTsons having made irajirovemciits on thn lands, or porfjrmed lul>c'ir in part or in whulo lor such lande, have any claim thtrcfor upon the Goveriuuont of this Trovinco. The Now Brunswick lands continue. to bo sold by the Deputy Surveyors or Crown I^and Ageutd for each County at, monthly auction sales, nt an upset price of 60 oonts--25 per cent, ddwn. tho bal.ance in throe cquiil annual instalmonts—or 25 per cent, discount on tho amount of the purchase if cash be paid for the whole. Under tho Regulations of sales for bond fide ''I 'V. '• Crown Timber. settlement there ia no competition ; the price is 53 cents per aero : the money to bo expended in the oponing of roads. Settlers may procure land under the Labor Act, by a petition to the Lieutenant Cfovemor. Settlers by "Labour" are merely required to do work in mal(inpr their own roads, to tho extent of sixty dollars for 155 acres, and to pay the triflinjt sum of tliree dollars to the Commissioner who superintends it and renders an account of it to tho office. Tho '• grant" or title from the Crown then issues, as soon as it is certified that the party has resided at least one year on his lot, and cleared and cultivated not less than five acrc.i thereof. In 1866. 33,370 acres of land wore sold tor $20,431— average price 55 J cents per acre, ■ Phivcb 1 owARD Island and Newfoundland. All tho lands on Prince Edward Island havinst been granted by tho Crown, by lot, in one day, to private individuals who were supposed to have claims to tho Royal favor, there are no lands in the hands of the Grovernment except a few estates that have been purchased from private owners. During 18G6, the colony purchased the Cunard Estates, for .£79,500, Island Currency. Until of late no desire has been manifested by the people of Newfoundland to become owners of its soil, but within a few years past tho frequent failure of the fisheries has caused tnoro attention to be paid to the land. Several new lines of road have been made, :'nd Mr. John H. Warren, the Surveyor General, reports, "much fine agricultural land" aslbeingjopenod up.

Tho Commis- sioner thinks that tho lumber used for homo consumption, and that mado up into Deals, &o-, under 9 feet long, and other stutV exported but not dn'iable, was at least equal in quantity to that which paid tluty ; so that tho Crown realized nothing on half of tho lumber cut, except tho trifling licensa for timber berths ainuuntiog to $124,843 in 1SG6. and $14,480 in 1805. Thoro being no system eif Qovernment culliui; in New Brunswiek, tho Trade and Navigation tables supply tho best index' to tho nature of tho lumber produced. It may bu explained, that although at one time tho surface of the Provinoo was onp vast Held of lumber of tho best quality, all the lino white pine within easy roach of tho tributaries of the St- John has been already cut, and nho attention of lumberers is therefore directed to tho coarso pine, atill to bo had in largo quantities, from which sugar box shooksaro made (a recent growing trade) and to tho black spruce, which in Now Brunswick is of large sizo and excellent quality.

There are no vr'' ' lumber lands in Prince Edward Island. The morcantilo timbei* has been long exhaust * The deals exported from tho Province are firnt obtained from tho adjoining Provin ci, mid most of the timber for ship-building is bought in the yards of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The timber of Newfoundland has long been supposed to be of small size, and lumbering docs not exist as a distinct branch of industry, being only carried on to supply local require- ments, In many of tho northern and western bays there is now found to exist a considerable quantity of heavy pine and other tiinber-the pinf^ cutting into boards of from 20 to 30 inches wide. Mr- Murray, of the Geological Survey of Canada, says of the Ilumbcr district in his report for 18(57 : " This line tract of country seems to iiresont inducements for enterprise in tho quality of its timber. Tamarac is not rare, yullow birch cf largo dimensions is abundant, white pine and spruce grow in tho greatest profusion, frequently of a sizo and quality not greatly inferior if not equal to tho best that is now,Iargcly brought into market at Gasp6 and other ports of the lower Province of Canada." MINES AND MINING REGULATIONS. The Mines, like the Forests, have passed with the Public Lands into the hands of the Local Governments of the several Provinces of the Dominion. The laws affecting them consequently remain under the control of the Local Legislatures :~ QuEBEC AND Ontario. The Mining interests of the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario are now just beginning to assume large proportions. As yet, however, there has been lii.j : legislation on the subiect, and but few statistics are procurable. The Mining Regulatfons of the Provinces are distinct as regards the precis, .s and the inferior metals. Mining for the Precious Mktals is regulated by the Act 27 and aS Vic, cap 9, amended by 29 Vic, cap. -9, (1863.) Under these laws three gold mining divisions have been erected : — the Chaudiere division, (south of Quebec,) R. Pope, Inspector ; the St. Francis division, (near Sherbrooke,) J. K. Oilman, Inspector; and the Quinta division, (Madoc) A. A. Campbell, Inspector. No person is allowed to mine without a license — either a '• Crown lands gold license" for unsold Crown lands, fee $2 per month, or a " private lands gold license" for/private lands, $1 per montli, the miner first obtaining the consent of the proprietor. Under the Crown lands license claims may be worked as follows : — Alluvial Mines.— Ow a river or large creek, 20 feet front by 50 from the water's edge. On a small do., 40 by 50 feet, from centre of stream. In a gully, 60 feet along the same and St Mtnes and Mining Regulatims. 87 from hill to hill. _ On surface or hill side, 60 feet squ^. In case of tunnelling, the Inspector may grant alarger claim, or determine the size and place of claims in beds of rivers. Quartz Afiiut. — ^To each miner 100 feet along lead, bv 100 on each side. For companies, 35 feet along lead for every additional miner, but not to exceea 500 feet altogether. Qt4artz Crushinz Machines must be licensed ; must keep books and furnish returns ; license fee Is.oo per month. These fees also apply to the De Lery Seigniory, — the Royalty payable under the De Lcrypatent having been commuted to this effect. The principal regulations are, that all licensees shall make returns of their proceedings ; and that the discovererof a gold field is entitled to a free license for one year. Gold mining in the Chaudiere divisions is now being actively carried on by the De Lery Com- pany, a quantity of gold having been taken out from the alluvial diggings and quartz crushing machines being about to be pu^ in operation at once. Mr. Pope reports that the amount of gold collected in Chaudiere Division from January to 30th Sept. last was about #24,996, say $25,000— all taken from Gilbert River, except about $1,000 taken from various other places, such as Jersey Point, Rivers Famine, Des Plantes, &:c. The number of men employed has averaged about 100, only 40^ or 50 of whom have been actually enga(;ed in mining. The others were occupied in prospecting and doing preparatory mining work, sucn as felling timber for timbering the shafts, Ac. In the Quinte division, a great many quartz veins have been prospected, and several hundred tons of quartz are said to be awaiting the starting of the crushers now in course of erection. Five veins of argentiferous galena h:xve been found in this district. Mining for the Infijrior Metals. — Each mining tract in unsurveyed 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 $1 per acre. In surveyed townshius, mineral lots arc to be sold fur $1 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 casli. A great deal has been done since our last in developing the plumbago mines of Buckingham, on the Ottawa. The iron ore of Marmora is also now being largely exported to the States, and iron smelting on the Gatineau near Hull, is being prosecuted to a_ considerable extent. Operations are also in progress on the Moisie River where valuable beds of iron sand occur. The copper ores of the Eastern Townships are being largely worked ; inferior locations have been abandoned, and the better class of mines are having capital spent on their development. Peat digging can hardly be c.illed mining, but in Provinces where there is no coal, it possesses great importance. It has been dug to a considenible extent on a new systein rear Montreal. When the mining industry of the country becomes more settled — which we expect will be within a short time — we trust the Governments of Quebec and Ontario will take mining statistics in charge, and so provide material for a proper account of our mineral wealth, as realized by the application of industry. ' Nova Scotia. The Gold and Coal Mines of l^ova Scotia are now one of the chief sources of the wealth of the Province. Gold.—Tho earliest discovery of gold in the colony, made known to the public, was in i860. In 1861 the Government formally look possession of thej district, and commenced laying off mining lots, of which about a hundred were soon leased. A Gold Commissioner was then appointed, and annual reports began to be issued, the first of which is for 1862. From these we collect the following statistics of the condition and progress of gold [.^'aing in Nova Scotia : — Year ending Dec. 31, 1862 Year ending Dec. 31, 1863 9 months ending Sept. 30, 1864 Year ending Sept. 30 1865 Year cnd;ng Sept. 30, 1866 It •5-2 Ii 484 a Is d 30 1 i 18 1 a 12 Quartz, sand and gravel crushed. > Gold from alluvial mines. 1-6 'BtJ Average yield per man for 12 months at $18.50 per ton.

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, the Chief Commissioner of Mines, says, in his report for 1865, " that everything indicates a large increase and profitable extension of profitable gold mining opera- " tions in future years." The steady increase of the yield per man would seem to justify this opinion. The Commissioner remarks in 1865, that '• the great band of metaraorphic rock which extends along " the Atlantic coast the whole length of the Province is auriferou3, and to such a degree that gold " mining there can be carried on with handsome profits." He adds in 1866, that gold mines con- tinued to be worked steadily and satisfactorly," and that "the area over which operations are carried on is yearly extending."

The last figures in these columns are very remarkable ; although 145,744 tons less than in 1865 were shipped to the United States, still the total sale of coal was only 51,552 tons less th.-in the year before, when the Reciprocity Treaty was in full operation, shewing that other markets for Nova Scotia coal are bein^ found — in Quebec, the West Indies and elsewhere. Respecting Coal Miniag, the Chief Commissioner remarks that " its general results have been no " less satisfactory than those of gold mining." There were at the date of his last report in 1866, thirty collerics in operation, some only just optned, but with one or two exceptions, all with the best of prospects. The coal sold in 1866 was firom the following mines : — Round. Slacic, Chiegnecto JoEgms Lawrence Maccan St. George's Victoria Albinn Acactia Bear Creek. . German McBcan McKay...... Nova Scotia.

The "Acadia Charcoal Iron Works," of Londonderry, was still the only iron mine that is worked in the Province. During the year ending Sept. 30th, 1866, 2.053 tons of Pig Iron were made, of which 1,489 tons were manufactured into 1,394 tons of Bar Iron, leaving 564 tons for shipment in Pigs.

There are no mines of any kind in Prince Edward Island. In Newfoundland, mining industry is fast developing. The last Vear Book contains a detailed account of all the principal works then in operation. This year the Union Copper Mine (Mr. Bennett's) was worked by 170 men. Another Copper Mine has been opened on Trump Island, said to be very rich, owned by Francis Taylor and others. The work will be prosecuted vigorously next year. The " Waterford Mine," in Bonavista Bay, owned by Michael Carroll, is said also to be rich in Copper. It has not yet been worKed to any extent. Mr. Alex. Murray, of the Geological Survey of Canada, again visited the island in 1866-67, and though not reporting so favorably on its Coal prospects as was expected, shews it to be very rich in a great variety of other minerals . THE FISHERIES. The Fisheries, formerly under the management of the Crown Lands Department, have not been transferred witli Lands, Forests and M ines to the control of local governments, but have been placed under the direction of a Minister of the Dominion. And rightly, for they are not only of consequence to the Dominion at b.rge. but Imperial interests are involved in their management. Ther^ la no doubt whatever that the most valuable sea fisheries in the Atlantic are close by the shores of the Dominion, viz. : those on the Banks of Newfoundland, the St. George's Banks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the Bay of Fundy. It is known that there is no mackerel left on the shores of the United States, while the cod, the herring, and other valuable fish iu commerce never go south of the cold waters which surround our coasts. All the maritime nations of the world havec onsequently endeavored to secure rights of fishery in our waters, endeavors often supported by armed forces and resulting in sanguinary wars, France and the IJnited States have been the most anxious to establish themselves in our preserves, and a very bitter feeling against the French exists in Newfoundland, and against the United States fishermen in Nova Scotia and parts of Quebec, on account of their real or pretended encrpachnients. i 1 Hi ' '■ ' '.inl \ !l ^4iJ 90 21ie Fisheries. The United States rights are (since the rejieal of, the Reciprocity Ti ;y) defined by the Convention of 1818, which gives them the right of fishuig on the coasts of Newtoiindland, Labrador, and the Magdalen Islands, but expressly precludes^ tliem from taking or curing fish within three miles of tht coasts, bays, and harbors of the ollmr Provinces. During the exibtencc of the Reciprocity Treaty, this three mile limitation was abandoned • 1 consideration of the right of free entry for our produott into United States markets. It revived with the repeal of the Treaty, but, pending another adjustment nf the matter, the Imperial and Colonial Governments have agreed to allow American vessels to fish within these limits on payment of a license fee of 50c. per tnn— which most of them pay rather than risk ccnfiscation — not as .tn equivalent for value, since if this were to be the case, the feu shoii!'! bo from )Jj to %\a per ton, but rather as an acknowledgment of our sovereign rights. It is not to be expected that this arrangement will be other than temporary. The right of licenses issued to American fishing craft ia 1S66 was as under : — By Canada (Quebec and Ontario) 10 vessels, paying |3c«6.oo " New Brunswick 1 " " " i3-oo " Nova Scotia 354 " " 9,368.30 354 " Prince Edward Island 89 3.339-3S Total 454 ver-sels,paying$i3,oi6.85 65 of the vessels licensed by Nova Scotia, and 31 of those liceniicd by Prince Edward Island, wore afterwards spuken in Quebec waters. The value of the fisheries ia undoubtedly very great indeed, I. Valise to the Uniled States, — There have often been between 400 and 300 United States fishing craft in the Gulf of St. Lawrence .tlone, with a tonnage of over 3o,ixx), manned by over 6,000 men, taking fii^h to the value of over $1,000,000. In the Statistics of Massachusetts for 1865, we find the following return : — Vessels Employed. Tonnage. Quintals of. Cod. Barrels of Mackerel. Returns. In Whale Fishing 70,420 117,146 J 384,165 383,000 $6,618,670 4,832,218 In Cod and Mackerel do. The Cod and Mackerel fisheries were almost exclusively carried on in British waters, and Mr Derby, the U. S. Fishery Commissioner says, at page 46 of the report, that " Massachusetts has annually fitted eutless than half the tonnage eii3;»ged in the Cod and Mackerel fisheries." The writer, moreover, finds Ihat n\ the book of Statistics of Massachusetts, a serious error occurs. The value cfthe catch of vessels from one of the most important fishing towns is not carried out into the tetal ; and if it were, the above figures would swell up to nearly XS.ooo.coo. Doubling this for the other States we shall have $16,000,000 as the annual value of the U.S. Cod and Mackerel fi^^hries, — three-fourths of which are taken in British waters. Mr. Derby's estimate ie $13,000,000, but he battes it upon the erroneous Massachusetts figures. II. Valutio the Provinces.— \\. is not easier to arrive at the value of the fish caught by the fishermen of the Provinces than it is at that caught by those of the States, but the following figures are not far wrong, certainly not more than 20 per cent, wide of the truth : — Value of i>roduce of the fisheries, both for export and local consumption, for the year 1S66— Province of Nova Scotia .♦. $3,478,000 " New Brunswick.. 867,000 " Quebec 1,017,000 " Ontario 901,000 Total for 'h!

A system )f leasing the salmon rivers has been adopted, under which the fishing boromos the exclusive property of the lessees. The fly fishing above tide water, and the net fishing at the months of these rivers, are let separately, and although the object soaght is rather, in the first place, the multiplication of the fish under the inlluence of protection, the reycnae is nevertheless considerable and annually increasing. The amount collected from fishing licenses and fines in jSj6 was $ij,267. The owners of vessels built in Canada, licensed by the Snjterintendcnt of Fisheries or Collectors of Customs, and employed in fishing for seals, codfish, mac'.erel, herring or whale, receive bounties of 1.

Ontario and Qurbbc By the Consolidated Statutes of Canada, Cap. xv., the dollar is defined to be one fourth of a pound, the cent one hundredth of a dollar, the miu 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. The^ound 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, of 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 wUch Her Majesty directs to be struck at the RoyalMint," are a legal tender in proportion to theirweight. The pound Sterling (Victoria Sovereign) which contains 0.91,666 of pure gold, and weighs xas- 3 grains is therefore declared equal to and legal tender for ;£( 4s. 4d., orf4.86§. The gold Eagle of the United States coined before July 1834, is legal for |io.66j or f,* tas. 4d., but if coined between that date and ist January 1853, or as long after as the standard of fineness fixed by the laws of the United States be not changed, then only for iio.oo or £i los. od. Thf gold coins of the United States bein^ "multiples or halves of the said Eagle," are legal for proportionate sums. Other foreign gold corns may be, but have not been made legid by proclamation. British silver coins "of the fineuess 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 Kwgdom txnv 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 ra 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 <:urrency equal, according to the " proportion hereinbefore fixed, to the sumt in sterling for which they respectively pass current in the "tjnited Kingdom." / t- / f Thus th6 ISritish shilling is a legal tender for to. 34} . No foreign silver coin is lawful money ; and British silver is only legal tender to the extent of J^io. The copper coins of the United Kingdom are a legsd tender to the amount Of twenty cents or one shilling currency ; the penny for two cents, and subdivisions thereof in proportion. The pence and half-pence stUl current in Canada were imported by the Banks. The Government has within the last few years imported both silver and bronze coins ; twenty, ten and five cent pieces of silver, and one cent pieces of bronze. The following statement shows the amount of the 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 :— Ganaduk Goinaoe, forwarded from the Boyal Mint, London :— 18^. 16th Oct... 1858. 20th Deo... 1860. 22adMay.. 30 Boxes 1 20 cent pieces.

American silver has therefore been imported in large quantities, and several million dollars worth of it are in circulaiion in the Province. In Post Offices and Banks, Canadian com is the only silver taken at its fiice 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 of |i, ^, I4, I5, f 10, ^, 1^50, Ifxoo. New Brunswick. The New Brunswick legal dollar is the same as that of Canada, bearing the same relation to the English sovereign. The Banknote&aTeofdenominationsaslowas||i,andareconsideredcqualtogold. The coins imported by the Province are of the same denominations as those of Canada ; viz : 30, 10 and 5 cent pieces, of silver, and s cent of bronze. The Government made two importations— the first of #30,0x1. 00 in shillings; #15,0x3.90 in sue pences; #5,003. 75 in three penccs, and #3,000.00 in cents.

The above article is repeated from 4 m the Year Book for 1867, and requires no alteration sftve that u place of " Canada" one should read " Quebec and Ontario." The assimilation of the curr :iicy of the Provinces composing the Dominion is no easy task for the Legislature. The writer believes, however, that the Nova Scotia dollar should be adopted as^our standard. Of course this would derreciate all legal values in Quebec. Ontario and New Brunswick in the proportion of 5 to 4.8666, &&, so that the | statute must provide that creditors might add 3.74 per cent, to their accounts. The inconvenience ri doinj; this would, however, be balanced bv the immediate Cessation of "the silver nuisance." Tie British shilling woald at once become legal tender for a* cents, and the, American quarter would be so nearljr 35 cents in value that even the Banks would hardly refiue to take it on deposit. The reason for adopting the American dollar as our standard vanished when the United States, by making p.iper a legal tender, made that value flucttnte. The pound sterling, on the contrary, is a definite value, adopted in most of the British dominions. It has been suggested that the half-sovereign should be made the basis of our decimal system, and the plan iio doubt possesses certain advantages. Thus we should have the sovereignss|3.oo, the half-sovereign or "gold"is$x.oo,tlie florina^So.so. the shilling or "silver" =:So.xo, the penny or "copper" about $o.ox. Our mint would then be able to mint coins which, like those of Victoria (Australia), would be legal tender in Englahd. And if Britain ever came into the proposed European Monetary Union, the law dumg^ tM.g^..«teTliDg would answer for Canada too.

The Militia" organization of tho Dominion will probably soon be made unjfirni, so that nothing more than a sketohof the existiDK^yutemti of tho separate Provinoeg ia here required. Oroakization • fifty dollars and travellins expenses, aocord- inn to a mileage allowaneo scale. A First class qnalifies for a Field Officer's commis- sion. Bach tiohool is attached temporarily to a regiment of Her Majesty's regular army, stationed at the city where the School is held, and the Cadets, while at the School, are under the "Queen's Begulationa for the Army.i" The certificates nrom the Board of Exa- miners for Volunteers are somewhat similar te those granted for the Service Militia, but there is ne pecuniary allowance. Tho grea'or portion of the offioers in the Volunteer serVica have already passed this Board, and tho morale and the bearing of the f jrce hrtve bean greatly improved thereby. Ti/ro Schools of Gunnery have been estab- lished, under the direction of offioers of H. M. army, at Montreal and Toronto, which give certincates of proficiency in Gunnery and Artillery drill. There is also a School of Cavalry at Toronto, under the superintendence of the 13th Hussars. In Neie Bruntoich the Militia is divided into four classes : Clas8 A consists of Volunteers or Active Militia. , . Class B of unmarried men and widowers without children, between the ages of 18 and 45. Class of married men and widowers with children, between the ages of 18 and 45. Clashes B & G oooosionally assemble for mustei Class D, Sedentary Militia, comprises all the male inhabitants of the ProYince,(with a In Quebec and Ontario, formerly Canada, there are two Militia Acts : the Act cap. 2, 27 Vict., styled the "Militia Act," relating to the Service and Non-Servloe Militia, and to the Militia generally,— the Amendment Acts are cap. 10. 27 and 28 Vict, and cap. »,2» Vict « and the cap. 3, 27 Vict., storied the " Volunteer Act," relating solely to the Volunteer Force, —the Amendment Acts are cap. 10, 27 and 28 Viet., and cap. 12, 2U and 30 Vict. There are three Forces in the Militia : the Volunteer, Service, and Non-Servloe. The "Volunteer" is composed of oorpi raised by voluntary enrolment ; the " Ser- vice," of all male persons, with special ex- ceptions, between the ages of IS and 45, periodieally enrolled by ballot ; the " Non- Servloe," of all male persons, with special oxoeptlons, between the aq;es of 4-5 and 60, and of thoso between 18 and 45 not taken by ballot for any Service MUltla Battalion. Boards of Examiners, composed of offioeri of Her Majesty's Regular Armjr and of the Volunteers, sit the first Tuesday in every quarter at Quebec, Montreal, Kinpiston, To- ronto and London, for the examination of candidates for commissions or promotion in the Volunteer Force, and of granting certifi- cates thereof. To enable parties to qaaliiy for commissions in the "Service" Militia, Schools of Military Instruction are established at Quebec and Montreal ia Lower Canada, and at Kingston and Toronto in Upper Canada. The certifl- oatss granted are of two classes— First and Second. The Second, which must be first obtained, qualifies for a Company Officer's commission, and carries with it a gratuity of loa Miiitia.

The Commander-in-Chief may authoriie the formation of volunteer oorpa In the several rofftmenta, but not without the aanctinn of the Commanding Oittoera of the militia regimental digtriot. In the event of war. the militia are called into active aervloo by ballot.

In tha U.iiteJ StatiJ ot A nirlca, the number per head is ix, or 55 to each family. There is no doubt the ch ;aper rate of postage in ths States on local correspondence— their 3 cent postage being equivalent to about 2 cents of our raonsy— is the principal reason for such a marked difference in the number of letters received b f individuals in the two countries.
