IT is hnpetl this work will be fnimd more rnmplele, cnmprehnnsive,

Province. II \s, howf.ver, scarrttij posmblt lo avoid ^ome errors, from
the rer}/ nntire of the undtrtuliiiii^, but we iiopt they are li-w Great
aiifntum han hem paid to the uatronnvncnl I'tlculntious The prvfinoi'
ticntiona of wtinfhcr can never be (juUt. certain , although there may b6
just aronnd^ for the txptctation of a jinrlicular Und of weather, at a

upon the statements acquired fnmi the Puhtic OJives in York, must he
correct, since the luads of the various Departments have, with much
kindness, given every facility towards the suHsfnrfory completion of
this und'Ttakin'^ :—for whicti llity have the Proprietor's warmest ac-

ber of rniuable Tnt'es, ore addtd, with a view of mndernig this work a
useful Companion to every class of Persons in ihii Country. ■
Since last yenic^ se.vrral important additions have been made, a*
movgsf whidi the Statistical Tables, formed from the Assk-smknt
R.tLLs, are perhaps the most valuable, as they will .shew at one view,
when the whoh are eollecttd, what are the resou'rcts of the country, in a
manner that mu.tt be perfectly clear and indisputaltit ; and, a compari-
son of years, will prove the amount of increase, or decrease.

IT has been judiciously remarked by the au

ible discovery of a New Worlds (which
been receiving inhabitants from the old for more
than three hundred years.) and those events^
and aQtiom., lohich are connected with it,, tan
now be accurately ascertained ^ tvithout having
recourse to such legends as have darkened and
disfigured the early annals of most nations.
It is the purpose of the Compiler of these
Annals to confine himself (after noticing the
Discovery of Columbus^Jl to such events as nlaie
to Canada only* ^ " • :^ -*^¥

knnwiedge possessed by modern Europeans of any part of the Me«f
World*
1497 — Henry VII. of England gare permisiion to John Cabot
to take sii ahip", with all things nf>ces<iary for a voyage uf discoT*
fry in North Amerira Larly in June, in the same year, having

be neit Htur and named the Island of St John ; and, continuing
a westerly course, be atlerwardn arrived at the Continent, aU^jg
the coast of Mhicb he sailed, northerly, as far as 67 and a hull'
Borth latitude
It is remarkable that no further attempts towards discovery were
Viade by (he English for upwards of sixty years afterwards, if we
except the p'Opnsed eipedition of Elliot and Afhurst.
15<)2. — Hu<h Elliot and Thomas Asburst, merchants of Bristol,
.jvitlrjwo other gentlemen, obtained a patent from Henry Vll. for
*0itf estaMishment ol Colonies in the countries then lately discov*
.•red by Cabot ; but it is not Jtwown whether they availed (heaa-
lelvffs of this permission, or noade any voyage to the New World.
• 15-6 — Jean Deuys, h Frenehman, sailed with his pilot, Camart,
' a native of Rouen, from Harluer to Newfoundland, and drew a
iotp of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the adjacent coast.
^ )6<)8.— Thomas Aubert, who made a voyage in this ycarfroa
Dieppe to Newfoundland, was the first who sailed up the great ri*
ver Si. Lawrence to the country of Canada. This man carried off
some of the natives, and eiiiibited them in Paris.
1617. — The cod fishery on the baniisof Nerrtoundland had, by
this time, attracted the attention of several European nations, tor
there we're Fifty Spanish, Freuch, and Portuguese ships employ*
od in it this year.

Thi geographical position of this vast country may be thus ge*
oerallyMated — It is bounded (in the East by the Gulf of St. Law-
rence, and Labrador * ', — on the North, by the Territories of Hud-
son's Bay ; — on the West, by the Pacific Ocean ; on the South, by
unexplored Indian countries ; and part of the United States of A-
Bit^rita, viz. Missouri, Illinois^ Indiana, Michigan, Ohio. Pennsyl-
vania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, the District of MaiUf
and by the British Province of New Brunswick.
These boundaries describe a lat ge and magnificent portion of th«
globe wt inhabit ; large enough fur the foundation of an £rapirft
which may become hereafter the arbitress of (he destinies of tba
sew world, embracing with her mighty arms the whole width of
the gresf c6ntinent of America — Secured in her rear by the frozen
regfnns of the north, and with such a front as she possesses to-
wards the south, it is impossible but, with the adoption of wise and
decisive measttres, she must be able hereafter to hold a far mor«
imperious sway, in regard to the countries of the south, than wafe
ever held by the Tartars (in their best days,) over Ai^ia-; bT,'bj
the northern hordes cf Europe, over the Empire of Rofpe, at the
period of the overthrow of the then mistress of the world. Th«
foundation stone of this £m[)ire has been laid by the Queen of the O-
ceBn,and it depends on the prudence and wisdt»ui oi her councils,
and on (he loyalty, ambition, temper, skill, industry, brave* y, high
qualities, and perseverance of Canadians, no matter of what origioi
how far the fairy vision which is kindled up in fancy, may be rea*
Used. But this is not a time, nor a place, for tht indulgence' of
reverie, however splendid or enticing, and we must be content with
present realities. — To the contemplation of these realities, forming
altogether so promising an embryo, let us proceed.
We have only to cast our eyes transiently over a map of Nortk
America to be immediately ai<sured of the singularly advan^igeous
situation of the settled parts of Ufiper Canada. — Staged lik - a gem
in the bosom of a country that is neither scorched by the ^ultry sura-
luera of the south, nor blasted by the tardy, bitter-biting, winter!
of the north ; surrounded by the most magnificent Lakes, and,poa-
aessing the most extensive internal navii^ution in the known world»
it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to find, in any other re-
gion of the globe, a tract of country ot the same magnitude with so
many natural advautages, as that part of Upper Canada which liea
■ -
* Labrador has been strangely annexed (In 1809) to the Govern-
ment oi JVewfoundtfind, though the sea \\ ill continue to roll through
the strai<;hts of Bctlisle in despite of artificial arrangements, and un-
natural conuesioDf.

betweAn the Lnkes Ontario, Erie, and Huron, and the 01(a\fas, er
Grand Kiver, nioe tenths of the whole extent of which are cnicu>
latcd for almoitt every description of agrk'ultural labour, with such
a prosjiect of success a", peshaps, no oth«>r part of this continent
could realize. — A part ot this tract of country, commencing in the
neighbourhood of Kingston, and runnin|$ tVestward nearly 500 miias
to the Sandwich frontier, by a depth northward, of from 40 to 100
miles, h, aloriCy capHhle of supplying all F.urope with grain of e-
▼ery dpsci-iption ; besides being rich in CHttle *, and producing sil*
ver, l«ad, copper, iron, lime, marie, gypsum, marble, free stone,
«oai, salt, wool, hemp and fiax (of the best quality.) twbacco, and
tir'*ber of every description : bssides furs, game, fi-ib, aud many o-
ther valuable productions.*
Much hao been said, at a distance, against the climate of'tbisfinft
country. Those, however, who have removed to it from Great
Britain are agreeably disappointed in finding it more pleasant, (be*
cause not so ra»ist and uusettled) than that which they have left.
It might 1)6 said, with no great imftropriety, that the present f inha-
bitants of Canada have but two seasons, — Summer and Wiuter, —
for Winter has no sooner disappeared, which generally happens
by the middle of April, than the whole animal and vegetable crea-
tion starts into renewed life with a rapidity and vigor that leaves
the season of spring with such doubtful limits as to be scarcely
perceptible, or deserving; a specitic character; again, in the fall of
the year, the months oi' September and October are generally so
fine and summer like, and these being succeeded by vv4iat is so apt-
ly terrriedth^; Indian Svmmer. in November, (that month which is
so gluomy in England, and taid to be so fatal to Englishmen) that
we should have great difficulty, were it not for an artificial caleo-
da", in saying wlicn it was Autumn. J :.♦
'lt> convey a more just and certain idea of the severity of an Up-
p49r Canadian Wittter, it may be well to mention that the chaia
of ahallow Lakes which run in an easterly, and south easterly di-
rection from Lake Simcoe, towards the AficJiand District, are sel-
dom o/'never frozen so hard as to bear a man with any heavy bur-
then witfc much safety until about Ci)ristraas; and they are again
* It must be understood that we are always speaking of the set*
tied parts of Upper Canada, unless especially roentioned to the
contrary.
t ^Ve my present, because we have no doubt of a further ame-
lioration of climate as the woods are cleared away and the waters
dirriinish.
t In the Western District- the culture of both Cotton and Indigo
has been attempted, on a small scale, with success ; and Vineyards
and Hop gardens may be laid out advantageously iu almost any
part of the Upper Province. , .,..•.,.,

explanation by travellers, and others, attempting: to descrihe this
ciiuiitiy, an erroneout idtft has been lormed in England ihat our
Great Lakes are frozen over in winter; whereas they are alvvaya
opfn, h*^quently exhibiting a beautiful and striking pheuonienun
during the incleiiaent season, by reason of the water being warmer
than the atmusphrrical air ; in eorii^equf nee ul which, an evapora-
tion resembling .steam, and in eveiy va>-iely of shape, in clouds,
columns, and pyramid^, may be frequently observi'd ascending
niili uncommon grandeur and magnificenct' from the va^t "uriacas
of Ontario, Erie, Hurnn,and Superior, as from so many immense
bulling caldrons We recollect an eminent landscape-painter and
designer in England, who, when about to design a Iand9caf>e, was
aucusiomed to seat himself in an armed chair, in the centre of a
large rooni, and, by means of tobacco and a pipe, send forth co-
lumn after column of tobacco smoke, in rapid succession, with a
view of assisting his iinagii*ation in the combination of forms by
noticing the new and singular and griitesque shapes into which the ■<■
sooke would embody itself. — Those artists who may require aids
ot this description, would do well to secure some eminence ovepi
looking one of the great Lakes just enumerated, u hereon to build '
an observatory ; for, nothing can be more grrnd than the spec-
tacle to which we have alluded.
It is the small, and nearly stagnant, bays, and for a few yards
only from the shores, where the water is shallow, that any part of
the Great Lakes is frozen in winter 1 he earth too, is s'tldom f) o- ■
zen at a greater def>th than from 12 to 18 inches, and the sriow
rarely lies in greater depth than from 18 inches to two feet, unless *
where it is drifted. It is ''ery seldom the roads aie in any per|mi-
nent condition .for the use of the Slei}>;h or Carriole before the se-.
«ond week in January, and they are again broken np towards \h^^*-..
end (.f March, a fact which sufficiently indicates the duration of V
snow, and of sharp frosts. It is proper, however, toremaPk^that
the winters of Lower Canada, (being in a higher latitude) are bothr .
more xevere and of longer duration. There isa diflfertince ol^ at *'
least one month in the length o) the inclement season at Quebec ;
Slid on the shores of Lake Ontario, and tarlher westward, to the
Sandwich frontier, this favourable diOerence is still greater. In
ll[)per Canada a labouring man, if he chooses, can at all times work
out of doors ; but, in the Lower Province there are days of par-
ticular severity, in the winter season, in which it would be impos*'
sible for him to pursue out doors work.
There are natural phenomena in the climate of Canada which
[remain unaccounted for, and are sufficiently puzzling even to the
most philosophical genius Of these, the Indian Summer, which
almost uniformly 'commences and tenninates in the aionth of No-
vembtirj and '*, tertian intervals ai fine weather, ihroughoutjhe

winter, after two or three nights of intense frost, deserve to be
parficulariy mentioned
The Indian Summer, as it is termed, consists of m«ny d«y«,
(the (ndiaits say there wu«/ be. fifteen smoky days to constitute one
of these summer!):) of drligl)tfij||y mild, serene weHtlier, with a
misty, hazy atmosphere, though the haze is dry and soft, appear*
ing to rest <:hiefly on the horizon — In the evening of these days,
the sun generally goes down with a crimson flush on the western
heavens. The ({ooeral temperature of the atmusphere, during this
season, is singularly grateful to animal sensation ; and, those of
the feathered tribes who are directed by an infallible guide to seek
•ther regions more to^he southward, on the approach of hoary-
headed wintrr, avail themselves of this charming season for tbs
prosecution of their interesting; journey ; audit is at this time the
rivers and lakes of Canada are coveted by innumerable flocks of
wild fo\Vl of every species known to this quarter of the world, ga«
thering with their families for winter quarters.
By what is ternved tertian intervals of fine weather, througli th«
winter sea>»on, is meant a vety extraordinary and certain phenu-
■lenon that may be relied upon with the jame surety as the diu>
nal motion-^ of the planets. The greatest intensity of trost is al-
ways rtmittant%l the end of the third dny ; that is, the inhabitants I
of Upper Canada never sufl'er the extreme severity of their climate
for more than two or three days at any one time ; being pertectij|
assured, on feeling any extreme degree of cold, that it will miti-
gate within three days, and that several days of mild weather wil'
aucceed. — It may require several years of attentive observation tol
Ascertain the number and duration of the intervals of mild or se-,
vere weather that usually occur in a Canadian winter between tbel
43cl and 49th degrees of North Latitude ; but it would prove a sub-f
ject ot very interesting and instructive inquiry to any gentleraaBJ
of "ufll< ient leisure to pursue it in the country.
So many persons have been deterred from emigrating to CanaJ
lt>ik through a false notion of its climate being frightfully severe,tha
it seems to be a duty incumbent on those who speak or write full
the instruction of others at a diistance, to endeavour to remove tlitf
erroneous impression. Those who arrive from Europe, and seltlij
. in Upper CanMda.uniformiy express their satisfaction at the change
in thib particular, at least. There is generally a clearness, dryne^il
ftnd brilliancy in the atmosphere, so captivating, after the caturrj
hat moisture which saturates the a^r of northern Europe, that iti
impossible for the newly inducted emigrant not to rejoice in thj
change — whilst the starry hosts of heaven appear with a splerida
far more dazzling than anything he has before seen, and the mod
of travelling in winter in carrioles or sleighs, the easiest and tiu
^ delightful in the world, gives him ready access to distant marketi
whether of business or pleasure. .'- • x.

ft mny be rf^adily supposed that in such a vast est^nt of conntrj
♦vf py desciiption of soil, and >very variety of surfnce, as to
mountains, hills, vallies, and plains, mnst occur. Speaking of
the inhubited f>arts of Canada, the Lower Province is (he most
mountain -, and (he Upprr Province the moat level and rhan?,*
paign ; indeed, from the division line on L^ke St. Francis to
Sandwich, a distance ol nearly six hundred miles, nothing like a
nioiintain occurs, although nearly the whole eitent of country
passed through, between those places, is gently undulated into
pleasing hillM, fine sloftes, and fertile vallies. There ii, howeveri
a ridge of rocky and generally barren country, runryng north-east-
eriy, and south-westerly, through the Newcastle and Midland His*
tricts, toi^ards the Oltawas, oi Grand River, at the distance of
from 5() tu 100 miles from the northern shore of Lake Ontaiio, and
the course of the River St Lawrence ; a ridge which divides and
directs the course of innumerable streams, those on one side run-
ring to the northward, whilst those on the other run to the south-
wifid, find empty themselves into Lake Ontario or the River St.
Lawrence. — This ridge has an elevation of not less (ham 100 feet
above (he level ot Ontario, and is rich in Hilvery Lead, Copper,
arid Iron, *
Fflither (o the north, beyond the French River, which falls into
Lake Huron, are immense mountains, some of (hem of vast an
unknown degrees of elevation. Many of the mountains whic *
descrihe ihe great vally of the St. Lawrence, are from 3000 to
4000 feet, above the level of the river ; and (hat part of the chaia
which approaches the City of %jebec, on the northern side of the
river, is worthy the atti'ntion of geologists and mineralogists, in
a particular manner, from the hope there istvery reason (o enter-

from T(fil7.->But, •§ (l]# object of this littln skttch is to give tbe
atrAtiger h generRl idea o' the nature «f that part of fh« country
in which wp are wrhing, we mu^t go back t«i the soil of Upper
C'anad<i, and speak of its quality ; which, in its wild oruncullivat-
ed state, raay be known by ihe species, and fine grow.4b, of (he
timber with which it is covered.
The best landn are those which produce the hardest timber,, fuch
as Oa/cAfnple, lieeeh, and Kim. Black Ifatnul, ^c thouj^k Dass-
Wood, whfiiiif UixuMMMt groulh, is also an indication ot good
land ; and so is fhne. whe eit is large, clean, tall, and thrifty. —
JMany of the Cedar swamps, wh^ire the Cedars are not s(iiiited,and
are intermingled with Aslto( large growth, contain soil of tbe rich*
est quality, and are calculated lor tbe finest Htnip grounds in tbe
world.
It may give a just idea of the general richness of tbe soil to
«tate, that we have frefpiently heard of instances where 50busheli
•f Wjjeat per acre bave been produced on a farm, even where the
stumps (which would probably occupy one -eighth of Ihe surface of
A Qelii) have not been eradicated ; we know, indeed, of some in-
stances where 60 bu-ihels, and one in the Town of York, whert
One Hundred Biislieh of Wheat, have been obtained from a single
«cre ; and, in the District of ISewcastle, many examples may ic*«
found wb(Tein Wheat has been raised on the same ground, for 1^
•r 18 years successively, without the application of manure ! —
The general average of the returns of Wheat crops, however,
throughout Upper Canada, is not probably, more than 25 busfieU
ptir acre, owing to the space occiipied by stumps, and tbe indifTt*
rent skill of tbe ordinary farmers. The winte: wheats are found
to be most productive, and they weigh the heaviest.
Of Indiun Corn or Maizcj (rom 60 to 80 bushels per tore, is not
an uncommon return ; and of Pumpkins, of the largest^^kinds, we
have instances of more than a ton weight being produced from a
single seed'
But there cartnot be a more certain indicatioa of the depth and
richness of the soil than the fine growth of the timber which it
produces; and, we have not unfrequently measured particular
trees of that specf)e'»of u;/a/e oak which grows in low moist places^
and which Is usually called swamp oak, that gave circumferences of
16 to 17, and ^S feet, and an altitude of from 30 to 40 feet to the
first bough. And vve have more than once, on the rich lauds to the
northward of Rice Lake^ found White IHne trees that gave a dia-
meter of Jive feet-, and altitude of two hundred ! These are facts
that determine at once the depth, richness, and vegetative power
of the soil, since these giants of the forest are not nourifihed by the
heavens which (hey pierce, but by tbe earth from whence they
spring.
Vegetation is so rapid in this country that Barley sown the last

is every reason to believe, if vineyHrd^ were cnliivaied, tbt; iitlia*
bifarits of this country might add a variety of '.hoicr wines !o their
list of articles of home consumption, and foreign trade. We have
dank of a wine veiy nearly reseuiblin^, and but little inferior to,
that of Oporlo, which was made from the cuminon w ild grope of
the country.
It is remarkabl*', thoughout this country, tbat lliesoil and g:roulh
nf timber upon the immediate banks of the rivers aitd btkes is
inferior to that of the country fwrther back ; and it appears that
all the larger rivers and lakes have a second bank at some distance
behind that which at pre.-^ent bounds the waters, 'Jlii« is evtm iLe
case with the St. Lawrence and the Great L'ikes. On another oc-
casion, when our limits are not so circumscribed as they necessa-
rily a; eat present, we may venture upon an explanation of theda
phenomena.
In allne'vly discorered conntrles, that a>*e thtrkly wooded, the
navigable waters are the great thoroughfares along v\hich the in-
b^thitants must conduct their bu*<ino?9. The first settlements are
therefore fornvd along the banks of tbepcincipal river* aitd !akes ;
eKtending backwards, only by slow degrees, as the IhikIs in front
nr.- occupi«d. In Canada, a remarkable eneniphfication of thi«
kiiid of progie«9 has boen seen. A long stiaggling settlenjeiit from
ahundreil and fifty inile.s below Qiiebec, to J?Hnd>^ich, l»eing a dis-
tance of moi-e ihttn a ihousand miles, was formed before the peo-
ple ever thou dit of penetrating it to the interior f»ir any oihfr pur-
pose than thai of hunting, or bartering wiih the InUians. Even
af this diiy the most remote seltted Townships, fiom the frontier
waters, wilhthe exception of the road from Y^^k to Penetaniini-
shene, is not more than frf>m 4tMo 60 miles. It is not. therefore,
in this country, a^ it ia in the back parLs of the Loiled Slates,
vrhere an emigrant, purchasing land, has fre«piently the |>ainful
necessity of eoramencing his establishment at a vast distance from

Wagrs, con>pared with what they are in Great Britain, are
still very high in this country ; and hitherto, in the Upper Pro-
ince, it has not been difficult to procure work In many part^
indeed, there is yet a scarcity of labourers. It is true tb«t money
3 not now plentiful; but th«re is scarcely any thing that the older
eiiidents have to spare in payment of wages that is not useful,
ny ahsolutely necessary to one going onto a new farm ; and itc0
tars being allowed by Government for the perfoimanre r>( settle-
ent duty, (which in favourable weath«*r «tav very often be done

wn crops are ready ; and should he not prove an expert axeman ,

which he conceives that a nnntlirr of those people now *)ubMisiin;j

in, this country wi(h great advantage, both fo the public audi
themselves.* — The moriiy re«juir<d in aid of this scheme, is nut

provisions and supplies of implements and ttork, under the dir* c<
lion of certain managers. The cleaned lands to lanstittite a wort-

The projector assumes a (amily, of the description to which he al"!

IJndftr fav«»urable circumstances, the people will be placed on
heir lands early in June, prepared to clear away tor a spring crop,
'viih common indut^try, three such prrs^ns as we ought to presume
[ill able settlers to l)e. will not find it d tlicult to get five acres sown

Having thus, in the second autumn, 10 acres of wheat land, and
10 acres of meadow, witb additional occupations for the winter of
1S23.— 24, on this increase, they will be ahfe to clear for the third
!4j>ring only 5 acres more ; so that in the third Imrvest of 1824, such
a family as we have assumed will possess 30 acres of cleared
land, and 70 uncleared ; 10 acres of the 30 will be sown with
wheat, 10 with spring crops, and 10 will be in meadow.
Their produce at th«^ close of the third autumn, may be stated
thus, at a low estimate :
From 10 acres of wheat, about
2 ditto of oats .
2 ditto of Indian corn .
2 ditto o( barlf'y .
2 ditto of potatoes . .
2 ditto of turnips • .
Fumplcin^, in number about 5000, which are planted in the Id'
<1iAncorn hills.
ISot more than ten tons of hay can be expected from the mea*
dow, incumhert>d as it will be with stumps of trees, for several
years. To this nruist be added the. natural increase of the stock,
together with the abundance of water and musk melons in the corn
fields, and of garden productions, and an ox and several hogs in
" salt.
After this third autumn of 1824, the repayment of the capital ad'
Yanced will begin ; it will arise out of the production of the har-
vest of 1825, and the rate at which it will be made, may be judged
•f by the foregoing statement.
<* It appears to me impossible," continues this ingenious writer,
''that upon equal capital any set of men of the class here con-
templated, caabe placed- so advantageously, both to themseivei
and to the country, in any other part of the world as in Uppes
'Canada."
The author illustrates his argument by an example, after the fol-
lowing manner . —
•^ In 1795, the parish of Barkham, in Berkshire^ contained 20l)j
inhabitants, of whom aboLt 40, besides the sick, received telief to
the amount of £75 a year. The average exi^ense of snpporlin;
the families of labourers in Barkham was then about d£25 e>)cli;
making the rat« of £75 to be divisibla amongst a number of people
equivfUent to three ordinary families, which may be said to be the
D'.imber in 'excess in the want of employment. — It the parish coui'
, be disburdened of these three families, and employment shouli
not vary, those left behind would receive wages equal to their full
support, until yaupers agaiu super abuandt

" The wans fur Sftttlinp; tliree fRmilies in Upper Canada Is §§-
snrvHd to be a loan of £6(X), to be repaid in ten years, hs before
stated, and this sum will be raised en'-ily by a mortgage of the rates
under the sa»ictlon of an Act of Parliament- — Thus the rates will
l)fe liiwered forthwith to the interest of that loan ; vis : tu £30 a
venr from £7d ; and they will decrease continually in proportion
us the loan shall be repaid, and as the town plot dind other land
apportioned to the parish shall become marUc^table This will bs
variable in point of time ; and the amount of the proceeds wil!
depend on the general prosperity of the whole settlement ; it can
hardly tail of m^iking a very rnnsiderabie return within seven years
i»f thR coloMi«ts quitting England. According to the exi>enditure
of Barkham, the rates for a surplus population of one hundrrd fa-
mines i^ £2500 a year. Upon this income it would be easy to bor-
row £20,000 under the authority of an Aet of Parliament. The
i»it«»iest on which being taken at £1000 a year, the parish from
vrhich the colimisls could proceed, would make a present annual
saving of £1500.
«♦ Since the publication of the forej^oing sketchy several indivi-
dttals in England, in Canada, and in Nova Scotia, otherwise wetl
diiiposed towards the views of the writer, have objected, that ** un-
der the present depressed state of agriculture, the settler will not
he able to repay the capital advanced." This should not, certainly,
be a subject of merp conjecture. In fact, it may be reduced to
calculation. The " York Market prices for the preceding week'/,
are given in the Upper Canada Gazette of the 23d of May, 1822;'
now before the writer ; from which it can easily be shewn, in the
article of wheat only, that there will not be any difficulty for an
industrious man to raise the required instalments
Suppose a farmer and his two able sons, such as the writer has
known many in the country, and who left England four years ago,
riearly destitute, about to clear and to fence off. for a crop, teiH
acres of good, heavily timbered land, in order to raise a small
sum of money. The question will be, can they '< in the depresi*ed
state of agriculture," produce, not a surplus of corn, but a- lur-,
plus oi money ?
In what follows, the farirter and his sons are presumed to buy
every article at the market price, and to dispose of the produce at
the same ; any practical man will at once notice that, if the party
were established on their farm, and living upon their own produce^
as in Canada the farmers universally do, the money expenditure
would not be one third of what it.is here estimated at ; for instance
instead of giving five pence far a gallon of floor, the farmer would
send wheat to the miller, and receive in return his proportion of
fl'Uir, toll being detained for w<Kking it The same in regard tcv
bis whiskey ; and with respect to bis beef atid pork, he would ne-
ver have occasaiou to go t^ the butcher} a^ be has here been lup*

Lawyers the less needed. Such a provision has l)een made by the

the last war wilb tlir United States having piveo t1)fm immortni
honour their spirit is of so high and confidant a cliaraefrr, that
il will Be extit'iiiely difficult for any foreign enemy to subdue it —
It is no longpp a tuohlern whether the Canadas will prove an easy
conquest to tin- United St tt»'s of America. One Hundred and Fif.
tyTh(»usaiid Cunadiun Militia, (which both Provinces have now
at command) as well disposed as they certainly are, with the troops
of Provnicial Cavalry and Riflemen which have been voluntarily
raised, under the orders of an ahie General, from the nature « f the
country may bid defiance to any number that may be brou^jlit
aganst them — And here we purposely say nothing of Hi<» Majes-
ty's Regular Tr*»r»ps, and tlie aid to be derived from the Indians.
The Abbe du Pkadt was never more mistaken than in his as-
sertion, al p 479 ot his famous work on the- Colonies, where he
says, in his u.^iual pompous and conceited phraseology — *' Acadia
and Canada will have cea-ed to belong to England on the day that
the United States will he able to establish an army ol 50,000 men."
That experiment has been tMtd ; even whilst the Cariadian IJer-
' culcs was as an infant in his swaddling clothes. We hope it will
be lung before it may be necessary to43vi«cea greater maturity of
strength, either defensividy or offensively.
N(Hhing is more templing, and nothing is more danjserous and
fallaciou-', to minds of a certain giaspthan analogous rtasonio^-
It reqoiies a penetrating and comprehensive genius, especially in
politics, to ajiply such a mode of reasoning with any hope of draw-
ing safe and j'lst conclusioui?. Ou Praot adds to the asseriion
just .{Uoted, ''The Eoglish will find themselves in a position, witlii
respect to the Americans, equivalent to that which they formerly
found themselves in France. They will be in the same circoni'
• stances in Canada as they were in France during the time that tlieyl
held possession of Guienre and Normandy, as the Swedes Mcrtf
in Finland since a Pelershurgh existed, Injlwilh this dirtereiirf.
that Guienne and Finland are filuated only at the distance r^faj
few leagues from England and Swtdt n. whereas the United SfalfiJ
are by the side of Canada, and England is distant a thouaun^j
leagues frojo it."
This amusing and Interesting Frenchman forgets a very impfr-l
'tant fact ; that a given extent of country, (especially one like (>j
imda possessing *o much wilderness, with strong natural bouririaj
Ties or barriers,) like a fortress of certain extent, requires only •[
cenain number of men to garr'son it; more than the nunit'f
wanted is generally an incumbrance, (when straightened ini
■ siee,e,; rather thHU a bent-fit, as tiiey only serve to consume ilij
' ineans of a piot" acted defence. Wn think it was the famous Go
TAVws Adolpuus of S\\eden, who said that he would not desirei
larger army than 40 000 men fit for actual service, to accompW
any military ohj.-ct; a-sui:b a forr«» wo dd always enable him

compiratively, were actually engaged in all the most memorable
bartlrs. both of ancient and modern times But to return, M du
pRADT never reflrcted that, unlike Gnienne or Normandy, or Fin-
laiidi the Canndas were destined to becnuie in a few year? a match
single han'^ed, against any neighbouring foe; and nf this fact
there cannot now be much doubt, whilst nothing could be more
Erepostereus than to suppose the two French provinces whicli
ave been named were a match for all France ; or, that Finland
was capable of defending itself against the enormous power of the
Russian Autocrat. £uougb, however, has been said on this sub*
ject here.
The exports of Canada are already considerable ; and, from the
encouragement held torlh by the »* Trade JicV passed during th^
last Session of the Imperial Farliaiuent, in favour of this countty^
it is but reasonable to expect they will be greatly increased in a
short time. Since the last war with the United States the exports
from the two Provinces have averaged (including Furs and Pel-
try*) about £1,500,000, ^and from 600 to 700 ships are now em-
ployed every year in the foreign and coasting trade. The tonnage
employed during the present year (1822) by the Custom House
returns at Quebec, is no less than £145,942 !
The prices of Provisions in the Upper Province arc at present
(1823) still rather low. In the York Market, Beef 2d.-Mutton 3d.

of other fish cheap.
Many of what, in some countries, may be called luxnriea can be
had here in their proper season, at very moderate price, such as
Oysters, Cod fish, Venison, and Game in abundance.
The domestic animals of Canada adfoit of great improTement,
and it is strongly recomnsended, frqm the succes? of some experi-
ments which have been :ilready made, to attend to this improve-
ment rather by judicious selection and crcssing^ than by import-
ing fine breeds irom the too highly refined stock of £ngland ; ex-
cepting only a few Stallions of th(^ large improved Coach, or Cart
Horses of England, which are much wanted to give weight and
power 10 the spindleshanked,' flimsey, horses imported into the
Upper Province from the United States ; and, to give size to the
ti.^ht, compact, hardy, invincible, little horse ol the Lower Pro-
vince.
* These valuable product* to a very large amount are annually
carried into t4ie United States, from various parts of Upper Cana-
da, in a way that i.^ unknown at Montreal or Quebec, and conso-
qiieiilly do not appear in the Custom House Books there.

It has often been asserted that the pony of Wales, and the Gal-
lawo^ «»f Scotland, are superior, for thru aize to any olher hor<-ci
in the woild But the writer ol this article has no doubt ttiai horses

sheer hardihood, wuuld lartiurpasH the horses of any other country,
not even excepting any part of Great Britain, 50 justly rericwnvd
for the excellence of its Ponies a^ well as for the matchless charac-
ter of its Flunters and Race Horses; — since the little horses of
Lowe'' Canada are every dav performing what would be deemed
great exploits were they recorded in the Sportsman's Magazine —
But excellent as these horses are, their inferior size renders them
unfit for many purposes of draught
The horned cattle of this country merely want good wintering,
and more attention, than is now gentirally paid, to a judicious
cross in breeding, lo be every thing that a farmer could desire.
Sheep are for the greater part, mported from the United States,
and have more or less of tlie < Merino ' in their breed ; too mu( b
so, in our opinion, to be so pr(.fitabie in this climate, and v^ ith the
careless management they receive, as Ihey may be. it is thouglit
that the improved 'Cheviot', whose fleece is weighty, and possesses
a long staple, might be introduced into-Canada with great succes!?,
and it is well worth while to make the experiment. — il is to be la*
mented that the difierent breeds of sheep are not more generally
cultivated than they are in Canada, as the climate is very tavorahie
to the growth of wool, which might hereafter become a valuable
article of export.
There are those who wish for an importation of the largest
ireed of Flng]i>-h HAgs, to give weight to those of this country, as
well astorpndtTthem of a more 'kindly nature,' as a breeder would
term it. But, there is not the smallest dotibt that a 'kiifnl and at-
tentive farmer, who is a good manager, may have a breed of Hogs,
without leaving Canada, equal to every thing that he may desire.
Hogs which arrive at the weight of 300 lbs are surely heavy enough
for ordinary consumption and we have frequently known insten*
ces of their arriving at such a weight in Canada, without any par*
ticiibtr attention b<-ing paid
So much has now been said on subjects that may be deemed, ia
eener^U, foreign to a publicaliun of this nature, that the writer is a-
fraid of enlarging his sketch until he Icnowshow far it may prove
at'ceptabl(* lo the public Should he have the happiness to find
bis plan ap r-wed. he will undertake to work up, by degrees, what
is now nothin"; more than a rough outline, very hastily sketched,

wo'k. which he is desirous of rendering as u>eful a companion as

Before he concludes, howerer, as n groat deal lia.« been said, of
lat«i in di-pafSR*'™'*'"' ol'llie plan, adopted by Government, which
grrtols no more than 60 Acres, wilhtMil the payment of fees, to
ordinary api'licants, tlie writer cannot hrip repeating that the libe-
rality of the British Governnaent, in this particular, is without a
paraMel in the history of the world, ancient or modern. What
mflii hHS ever been more highly eitolled than the famous William
Fenn? whom all wril(»r8, of all parties, and opinions, have agreed
tnciia-aclerizaas a lih.^ral, humane, and virtuous legi>lator ; and
even Pens did not think fit, in that golden day of cheap gilts, in
land matters, to part with portions af his vast territory without a
price, which even then was deemed so trifling as to be little more
than nominal, and his fee upon his larger grants of 1000 acres wa*
430 /iVc** ; and, to those who could not pay for more, he granted
dO«cres, *' for the annual quit rent of one sol, ten deniers and a
half per acre," equal tc one penny, or four shillings and two
pence, on the whole fifty acres, annually quit rent — nut a frec-

The eiample of William Penv is chosen, because no one ha§
ever yet objected to the wisd »m of his policy. — However, not to
go further into this subject on the present occasion, as the wealth
of Upper Canada is at this time chiefly agricultural ; wo will con-
clude in the eloquent language of (he author ironi wiioin we have
ju»t quoted.
*• Every thing depends upon, nnd arises, from the cultivation of
land* Itforrosthe internal strength of states ; and draws riches
into them from without Every power which comes fr»m any o-
tlier source except the land, is artificial and precarious, either in
natural or moral philosophy. Indjstry and commerce, which do
not act immediately upon the agriculture of a country, are tn the
power of foreign nations, who may either dispute these advantages
through emulation, or deprive the country of thom through envy.
This may be done either by establibhing the same branch of indus-
try among themselves, or by suppressing the exportation of their
own unwrought materials, or the importation of those materials in
manufacture, But a state well manured, and well cultivated, pro-
duces men by the fruits of the earth, and riches by those men. —
This is not the teeth which the dragon sows to bring forth soldiers
to destroy each other ; it is the milk of Juno, which peoples the
heavens with an innumerable multitude of stars." ^ .^

We agree with the learned Borlase, who has adduced un-
questinnablt ^/idence of (be fact, that the large and beautiful h-
Itiid of Great Britain, the mn^t renowned in the world, whs known
tOt and partially settled by, the Phoenicians at a very early period,

It was inhabited for many ages ; and, as Dr. Henry observes, was
the scene of many wars, revolutions, and other important events,
before it was invaded by the Romans under Jplius Caiar in the
year, before Christ, 55.
But it is not our purpose (o plunge into the glooni and doubt of
so remote an antiquity — We have no desire, especially in this
/ ' ' place, to |>eer and pry intothe darkness of unwritten History, or
to raze on the creations of fancy, when unimpeachable records,
and substantial forms, are near.

At the period of the invasion of Clau»ivs, we hear much of I
Caractaows, a native Prince, who seems to have been worthy of

of that age ; and, after him, the renowned Boaoicia, Queen of

In order to find the distance from any place, in tho forcgnin*
Tables and Li->t», to another, deduct the sniHller from the laiK^r
number of miles, and th*i product ijives the distance* — thus, do
you V ant to know how far it is from \iork to Cottau du Lac, hy
the main road ; deduct 931 from 1253, and there remain 822 miles,
the true distance ; or, if it be a Cross Road, and y<ju want to know
how far it is from York to another place named, — say t<» fialeim;
see hriw tar York is frcmi Halifax (liy the List that is jriffefj) jud
bow far Raleigh isfroui Halifax^ — deduct 1253 from 1427 and the
reirultis 174 miles, the true distance from FerA* to Raleigh.
As these Tables and Lists are taken fror.i those used in the Post
Oiiice. it must be presumed ttiey are as correct em the preseut stale

THE Recount of a Terrible CAnTHquAitic, tchich eoti-
vii46ed and ravaged a great part of Canada, tri the year
iS63»'—fFritten and preserved by the Jesuits in their
ColUge, at Qiutec ; nttu republished in this placey fur
(he purpose of endeavoutving to proaire further confir-
mation of so extraordinary a catastrophe, eitlur btj geo-
i,(/gical evidence^ or traditionary lore from the Indians^
'■*^K , I?
.■•>•V^^•.■.■. ,^.
It was on the 5lh of F«*brnary» 1663, about half paat
five o*ctnck ill the evening, that a git^at rushing noUse
was hparcj throughout tb»» whole eitt>nt ofCanatlii. —
ThiSjioise- caused ihe people to run out of their houst^s
into the strt'ets-, as if their habitations iiad been on 6re ;
hot, instead ot flames and smoke, they wore surprised
to see the wails n>elin<>: baik wards and (orwards, and
the stones moving, as if they were detached fronu each
othvr. The bell* sounded by the r peated shocks. —
Tlic rocFfs of tlie baiidiofl^s bent down, tint on ono side
and then on the other. The timbers, rafters, aid planU,
cracked The earth trembled violently, and caused the
stakes of the palisades and p-^imn^s to dunce, in a m;«nntT
tiiat would have been incredible had we not a< tualiy seen
it in several pldces. It was at this moment that evr ry
one r»u out of doors I'hen were to he seen aniniala
flying in ull dire<-tioD!<> t hiKInn trying and screaming in
the streets ; men and women seized wi h affright, stood
horror-struck with the dreadful scene hef<ire them, una-
ble to move, and ignorant where to fly for refuge from
t^he tottering Walb and trembiingeaith, which threatened
every instant to crush th« ni tr» death, or sink them iiito
• profound and immeasureahie abyss.
Some threw themselves on their knees in the snow,
crosi^ing their breasts and calling upon their saintt: tore«
lieve them from tlte dangers with wlii* h they were s^ut'
j'<^und«d. Ottiers passed the rest of tfiis drJauful ing:»t

rt'^einthng the wavp^ of the ocean'; and tiie samequai-
nii'^h sensation, or dickacsb at the stoftiach, was felt du-
ring (he bhoiks, as iseiperienecd in a vessel f^tsea.
The violence of the earlhq'tjlk^ wan grf*Hte.st in the
forests, wlicre it appoarrd as if tiiere was a h»t<l' rage-
ing betvNeen the tree« ; for noi only th- ir hraiiches were
d'Siioyed, but even their trunks <ire said to have been
detached iruni their places, and dttslted against each o-
Iher with int onceivabe violence andconfut^ion — soinuch
so, that the l.idians, in their figurative manner oi speak*
ingj declared that all the forests were drutik.
The wrtr also seemed to be carded on b^'tweeii the
mountains; some of which were torn from their Keda,
and thrown upon others, leaving im.inen:»e cha^ln^ in the
places fn^m wiience they had ibfcued, and the v 'ry trees
with which they were covered sunk down, Ie^ving on-
ly <heir tops above the surface of the earth ; others wetei
compli'tely overturned, their branches buried in the
earth, and the roots only remained above ground.
During this general Wf eck of nature, the ice, upwards
of SIX feel thick, was rent and thrown up in iar^e pieces,
and trom the openings, in many par^s, there issued thi< k
clouds of smoke, or toiiDtains of dirt and sand, whichv
spouted up to a very consideiubl:^ height. The springs
were either chocked up, or impregunted with sulphur.
Many rivers were totally lost ; others were diverted
from their course, and their v^aters entirely corrupted.
Somd of them became yel'ow, others red,^tid the great
river ol St, liawr'nte appeared eniir* iy white, as far
down as Tadoussac. TiiJ ex>ra^*r Unary phenoineuon
mu'^t astonish (hofie who know tli^«ize of the river, >nd '

have required such an abund<«nt « oi matter to whiten it.

thid e^yrtjiquake continued nlmost wiiliout intermisKi<;n,
