 GOVKRNMFA'T OIM'ANADA. 
 
 Canada is a Britmh Colony, and her inhttbitunts enjt)y all the privil- 
 cgcB of British subjects, 'i'he form of government is modelled from that 
 of England, the (/ovemor-CJenerul representing the Queen. There are 
 
 " "" ■ ' ■' ■ ■ hjusnlhe in 
 
 "ons. The 
 'h (^anad'^ans 
 
 two ifouaes on'orliament, the Upper and l/ower House, 
 Canada the respective functions of tiio Lonls and t 
 privilege of having their own Ijegi.Hlature was granted t' 
 some years ago, when it was found that they were in a sufficiently ad- 
 vanced sUite to control their own local affairs. 'I'hey e'lyoy at the same 
 time all the privileges of British Hubjects, and can claim fi-om the mother 
 country, so long as they are a loyal people, which they are disposed to be, 
 the protection of her fleet and armies, so that her frontier and shores are 
 tjJW socreil and as little liable to aggression as those of England herself. 
 
 POPULATION. 
 
 Fifty years ago, a great portion of (.'anada, now the most fertile and 
 most populous portion of British America, was a wild forest, known only , 
 to the wild Indian tribes. Now it has a population of 3,000,000, which 
 is greater than that of Scotland or of some of the smaller European . 
 countries; and it is still increasing, and with it proportionately the 
 wealth and independence of the Province. There are now in Canada, 
 1*J20 Post Offices, and 4046 miles of telegraph in operation. . 
 
 . THE CLIMATE. ; j 
 
 There are two Provinces, Upper and I/>wer Canada, in the latter of 
 which, being the more northerly portion, the climate is severe during 
 the winter, whicjijasts from four to six months; that of the Upper 
 Province, however, is much more mild and genial, on account of

 Monthly I^and Circular,) of some of, the lands and fariiA to be purchas- 
 ed in Oanada ; also, a doscriution of their locality, quality, condition, 
 means of acCes8\ and general capabilities. The prices are also given. 
 They will.b^ found to rate from Bs. to £23 stg. per acre. The terms of 
 payment are generally very favourable, extending in equal yearly paymeota 
 over a terqii. of five years, or more. In some cases, unimproved lands can 
 be leased for a term of years for tiothing, on condition thiat so much im- 
 provement an(| cle&rance shall be mode every year, the tenant stipulating 
 at the end of a nven period, say seven years, daring which time he has 
 paid DO rent, either to purchase or to renew the lease, as may be agreed 
 upon. In some of the distant and more inaccessible districts^'- land can 
 be bought from, the Government from ten pence to six and eight shillings 
 per acre ; and m soRie places lands are even given away to actual settlers. 
 Fersons, however, who may obtain their lands from the Government, are 
 restricted to various stringent conditions, which must be complied with 
 under pain of forfeiture. The soil throughout Upper Canada, is, as a 
 'general role, ^ell adapted lo the growth of grain, particularly wheat.

 In good tocalitiM, the arerage amoant of this grain produced per acre, is 
 26 to 30 boBheto per acre, and even fiO has been taken off Boifle farms. 
 The average produce per acre of other cropa is as follows :— Oats, 40 
 bushels ; Barley, 26 bushels ; Peas, 30 bushels. Flax Slso is grown to a 
 . considerable extent in some localities ; 3 tons of this to the «cre.i8 an 
 ^era|ge crop. Taking a district Aa an example, intersected by the 
 flastings Road, an agent of the Crown Unds Department in his report 
 to headquarters writes: "I have just returned from the Hastings Road, 
 and received your favour of the 4th of August, requesting information 
 jibout the crops on the said road. In reference to them, I never-saw any- 
 
 .?.(?.! .f^*"®™ *l" *-^ y''*"'® •''"'?*'' «f *•>« I fastings Road, from Madoc 
 tol!,ll|ott8,on th%flfth range, fiVo miles north of the Peterson Line, 
 and about fifty miles from the Town of Madoc. The principal part of all 
 kinds of gram is now out of the way of fW>8t. In consequence of the early 
 frost of last year, almost the eariiest on record, th* fanners managed to 
 get in their grain in such good time this year, that it is now ahnost all 
 ready to harvest. Some very fine fields of Spring Wheat were cuton the 
 I8th of August. I have examined a good portion of this crop, and have 
 no doubt but that it will yield from 30 to 40 bushels to the acre. I can 
 hardly give you a_ description of the Oats : I never saw such in any 
 country ; thev stand from 3 to 5 feet high, are well filled, and ure nearly 
 ■ alUbout ready to cut. I cannot say what they will produce to the acre, 
 - <but I think not less than from 60 to 70 bushels. Potatoes are abundant, 
 and no rot has yet appeared ; Turnips are promising as well as the pe6ple 
 desire ; I eas and Rye are very good, but there was not much of these 
 sown ; venr little Indian Com was planted ; but I saw some pieces that 
 will be a fftir crop unless some veiy unusual frost cuts it off". Hay is an 
 extraordinaiT flue crop : there will be enough of Timothy Hay in these 
 settlements for the farmer's o>yn use, and a supply for all the lumbermen. 
 It WM from thirty to forty dollars per ton last winter, but it is thought 
 it wiU not be more than ten dollars next winter. Yon would be surprised 
 to see the amount of grain the settlers have got this year. There was not 
 much Jt all Wheat sown, but what there was did well. I was at Elliott's 
 on the 18th of August, and I never saw better crops of all kinds of grain, 
 and althopgh the land is so new,hehjus an excellent garden of vegetables. 
 He put ma small quantity of Fall Wheat, and I never saw bettfer; it was 
 then np^ and the straw was bright : I rubbed out one head, and I counted 
 <2Jarge plump hard ^ns. The land seems well adapted for Winter 
 Wheat. The family is very industrious ; they appear contented and 
 
 J^. nappy ; tPeir jjrospect is good. - The inhabitants throughout the whole 
 len^h of the road, with very/ffgw exceptions, appear well satisfied with 
 their Ipcation. ITie Doyle sfettlemeiit, near the Peterson line, is a very 
 ^„ prosperous looking place, ai^d will soon be a very fine portion of the 
 country.. The Townshipsdf Burton and Harcourt, through which we 
 h^ve just finished the Government Road, will be a very fine country : the 
 soil IS more mixed ,with clay, and, althousfh hilly, there are no ledges or 
 rock, and but few rolling stones. The timber is chiefly Maple. Beech, 
 . .Basswood, and Birch, with a good supply of spriiif? creeks and Mill privi- 
 leges. Many of the Settlers have informed me that they have written 
 for their friends and acquaintances, and afedaily picking out lots of hind 
 for them, so that the increase of Settlers, will. T expect, soon be more 
 
 extensive than it has been ; and I am satisfied the prospect of Settlers 
 would be far better than if thev went to the Far West. The Settlers are 
 ~ enjoying excellent health, there being no illness of aii'y consequence 
 amongst them.' 'The freedom from fever and ague, and the abundance of 
 piire spring water, are very great advantages, which our SetUei-s enjoy

 —Wheat, 38. 6d. @ fis. 6d. sterUng, per bushel ; Oats, Is. @ Is. 9d. per 
 bushel ; Barley, 28. @ 3s. 6d^er bushel ; Peas, 28: @ 3b. per bushel ; 
 Flax Straw, £2 10s. per ton. These prices, it is true, are lower than those 
 to be got in England, but then « farm can be bought in Canada, stocked 
 and worked for a .trifle, in comparison with the enormous prices at home, 
 which preclude persons of humble m6ans from embarking in farming 
 operations. The emigrant, whose means are small, can buy 100 acres of 
 uncleared land of very fair quality for £1 per acre, or even for less, pay- 
 ing for it by five equal yearly pavments, sometimes with a few acres 
 cleared, from which can be derived sufficient potatoes and grain for the 
 sustenance of himself and his family. Sufficient has now been said to 
 show what advantages are in store for those who make up their minds to 
 emigrate to Canada. 
 
 TO REACH CANADA, 
 
 And the

 kingdom. 
 
 m 
 
 cost of getting there, is found published by the imnou ^ 
 and Railway Companies, in almost every newspaper in the 
 
 ^ The best plan, even by those whfe can afford least, is to 
 
 take a passage in one of the Steamers leaving Liverpool, Glasgow^ or 
 Londonderry, seven^ of which sail every week. The fare, inclusive of 
 provisions for the Voyage, ranges from first cabin, £18, to steerage cabin, 
 £7. Sailing vessels are not to be recommended, as the fares are almost 
 as high as by the steamers, besides they are very uncertain, and it is im- 
 possible to know how lopg they maybe in making the passage. In some 
 cases they take as long as two months. To reach Upper Canada, the 
 emigrant should take a passage in a steamer for Quebec or Portland, 
 where,.on its arrival, a train awaits to convey passengers to their destina- 
 tion. The journey to Quebec or Portland, takes from 9 to 13 days, and 
 thence to Toronto by the Grand Trunk Railway iq 24 hours. Fare, 
 £1 Os. Gd. sterling. 
 
 The best season to arrive, for those who propose to farm, is between 
 the months of March and August. It is not advisable to start later than 
 this, as a person requires some time to find out a suitable piece of pro- 
 perty, and to get comfortably settled upon it before the winter comes on. 
 
 INVESTMENTS IN CANADA. 
 
 Canada is not only to be recommended as a field for emigration, but 
 also for the lucrative investment of capital. Judicious investments in 
 land are invariably profitable, jindmostof the wealthy capitalists have 
 accumulated their money in this way. As the country is rapidly in- 
 creasing in importance and population, it is natural to infer that the land 
 must increase proportionately in value ; and proprietors of wild lands, as 
 a general rule, expect it to increase yearly in value at the rate of from 12 
 
 » to 20 per cent. Persons of considerable means in England, have fre- 
 quently visited Canada for the express purpose of investing their money 
 m this way. Mortgages on good productive farms are a very favourite 
 investment in Canada. The usual rate at which the money is lent, is 
 from 7 to 10 per cent., and the property taken, is generally three times 
 
 .as valuable as the amount advanced, Debentures, also, are to be had, 
 bearing 6 per cent. These are issued under the authority of Acts of 
 Parliament, by the variotts counties, cities, and towns, and can be pur- 
 chased considerably below par. Lai^ amounts of these debentures have 
 been sold in England, and are held chiefly by those who have some know- 
 , ledge of Canada, and know thai they are thoroughly reliable investments.

 From this I'lHt it appears that good furmit, from forty to two hundrecl 
 acred, ur« to be hud for Ironi jE200 to £2,000. The lowest of these pricofl, 
 however, may be b<>yond tlic iiieanH of many emifn^uitH, and they would 
 have to look out for Wild landtt, well Hituatod, and with a few acres of the 
 timber cleared off it, and, if possible, having a rou<;h log shanty upon jt, 
 which can be verv often had at a))out £1, and if in a good settlement, 
 £1 lOs. per acre I Homo of the lands advertised in the (Jirculur n»ferred 
 to can bo had at as low a figure as Hs. in remote localities where there 
 are few rooils or conveniences, but it is not so desirable to settle upon 
 such lots. 'J'he prices named in the above list are not usually rciiuired 
 to be paid down in moneyl On^ quarter or one fifth of it is all that is 
 usually i^>quircd, and the rcmaiudur is paid in equal unt^ual payments, 
 e.xtending over fiye years, or sometimes no further payment is required 
 until the' end of this term, further than interest on what remains unpaid 
 at 6 per cent, yearly. . 
 
 Tn the above list it "will be observed tlmtiiSostty every farm mentioned 
 is within a very short distance of a town or village, in the smallest of 
 which is always to bo found u medical man, a post-office, provirii6n,xliard- 
 ware, grocery, and general stores, several places of worrihip, and govern- 
 ment schools, where children can' receive their education ir«e of chaise, 
 as has been explained in a former page. 
 
 • Besides paying a portion of the price of h|s land, a settler will have 
 to procure an outfit and sufficient stock and seed. Suppo.sing him to 
 have a wife and three children, to net him fairly on his feet and carry him 
 through the first year, he ought to have at his conmiand about £r)0 ster-

 ■of the emigration from Europe, but no^v the tiil)Ies are completely turned, 
 and Canada has the prospect of having the greater share of it. this year 
 at any mte, and most proi>ably for many years to come. 'J'ho rea.^on for 
 this sudden change is that Canada* and British America generally 
 are the only portioiiiiof North Amertea in a truly prosperous and rapidly 
 advancing condition, besides l)eing in a state of profound peace with 
 themselves and with all mankind. Par from this is the present condition 
 of the United States. A deadly civil war has broken out, which daily 
 grows more forinidal)le. The government are without any moans of 
 resisting it, having merely^l 5.000 troops, of all arms, scattered over a 
 tenitory equal in extent to Europe— not a sufficient force to form an 
 ordinary constabulaiy, much le.^s to quell 10,000,000 rebellious people. 
 The acknowledged weakness of the law extends its bad effects among all 
 classes. Crime is greatly on the increase,.and criminals, hot excluding 
 conspirators, traitors, and a.^sassins, walk at large without fear of arrest. 
 Numbers of Americans themselves, despairing of a restoration of order, 
 are hastening to Canada, and are finding homes for themselves in British 
 territory, where their lives and properties are as sacred and secure as 
 they would be in the mother country. Which, then, will the eniif»mnt 
 choose for his adopted country, the United States o^ Canada?- °
