EDITED BY HENRY YOULE HIND, M.A., F.R.G.S., ASSISTED BY NUMEROUS TALENTED CONTRIBUTORS. The aim of the British American Magazine is to encourage British American Literature, to offer an opportunity, long desired by many, for giving public and permanent expression to heir thoughts, to foster a taste for literary pursuits, to present from time to time the marvels of Science in familiar language, easily understood by all, to supply a monthly abstract o, whate fs interesting and valuable ’in the periodical literature of Great Britain and a brief of the pro°res 3 of Literature, Science, Industry, and Art, throughout British North America. It will be within the province of the Magazine to furnish critical notices of new publications, unfettered by prejudice, nationality, or religious bias; and while political discussions of a party character will be absolutelv excluded from its pages, yet descriptive and suggestive articles relating to our Civil Polity, Home Institutions, Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce, affecting the general interests of the country, will be freely admitted. The success which has already been won, coupled with the ability, standing, and literary attainments of many gentlemen and ladies who have already contributed to the pages of the Magazine and of others whose names are now enrolled among its literary supporters, have entirely dissipated those doubts of its permanence which usually prevail at the commencement of similar undertakings; and afford the best security that its pages will be enriched with lit- erary productions of a high order of merit, and carefully prepared articles ou public subjects. Each issue contains 112 pages, forming at the close of the year Two Volumes of 672 pages each. Terms , Three Dollars per Annum, payable in advance. %* Now ready, Vol. I., in handsome cloth binding, price $1.75. Toronto, C. W., 1803. ROLLO & ADAM, Publishers. THE PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION OF CANADA AND THE BRITISH AMERICAN MAGAZINE. The first five numbers of this Magazine were placed in the Falace at the exhibition recently held in Montreal, and the Judges on Printing, &c., recorded the following minute in their Prize List with reference to this miblication “ The Judges in Class 50 beg to make honorable mention of the British American Magazine, nublished by Messrs. Kollo & Adam of Toronto. The contents of the numbers issued give promise of great interest and usefulness, and the Judges trust that the reading public will extend a generous patronage to this publication, so creditable to the Province. OPINIONS. This Magazine has a large list of subscribers, and the effort which has been made to deserve it is most cred- itable. — Montreal Gazette. Such a Magazine ought, and we have no doubt will meet with a liberal support in Canada.— Montreal Herald This Magazine seems to he the first serious and hope- ful attempt with us to establish a recognized channel in which the latent stream of literary talent of the country may flow. — Montreal Daily Witness. It is of great value and interest. No Canadian of intelligence can afford to do without it while it main- tains its present status . — Toronto Globe. It is decidedly the most promising attempt to estab- lish a literary periodical in this Province which has been made since the days of the Literary Garland . — Quebec Chronicle. The literary and scientific merits of this Magazine are of no mean order, and lead us to anticipate that it will prove a success.— Quebec Gazette. This attractive periodical contains very happily the several features or a Literary, Political, Scientific, and Popular Magazine. — American Publisher’s Circular. The Publishers are full of energy; and with the talented and well-known Editor ana hi3 staff of Cana- dian contributors, the British American is, we think, destined to be a permanent and creditable addition to the growing literature of Canada.— Owen Sound Times. We sincerely hope that the British American will receive the support which it well deserves. We place it above the American Monthlies, and believe that it will rank high among the British.— Norfolk Messenger. The want of some periodical devoted to the general literature of Canadian origin and growth, has long been felt, and it is with pleasure therefore we hail this new enterprise of the Publishers.— Newmarket Era. The style and character of the articles would grace the columns of the leading English “ Monthlies.”— Whitby Gazette. THE BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN ALMANAC AND * ANNUAL RECORD FOR THE YEAR 1864 : 4 A HAND-BOOK OF STATISTICAL AND GENERAL INFORMATION. Edited by James Kirby, NI.A., Advocate. VOL. I. Montreal : PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY JOHN LOVELL. r\ PREFACE. Some months ago the prospectus of a new work, to be entitled the British North American Almanac, was issued by the publisher. The object, as then intimated, was to bring together, in a convenient and accessible form, a body of statistical and general information relating to the British North American colonies, particularly the five provinces. The present work is laid before the public in fulfilment of the promise then made. The publication has been consider- ably retarded by the difficulty of obtaining information from distant parts, and by other obstacles necessarily incident to the preparation of a first volume. In future, however, the work will be issued at an earlier period. The present number is offered as an earnest of what will be attempted in subsequent editions. Ho pains have been spared to render the work an accurate and reliable authority on the subjects included within it. Imperfections will doubtless be discovered in this introductory volume, but the conductors trust in subsequent publications to render the work complete and thoroughly reliable in every respect. The compilers avail themselves of this opportunity to thank those who have assisted them in the undertaking. The Meteorological Tables and Statistics were prepared by Dr. Smallwood, Professor of Meteorology in McGill University ; and the Astronomical Tables for the respective months by Osborne P. Cross, Esq., formerly of the Nautical Almanac office, London, England. The information relating to the Law Courts of Lower Canada was compiled by George Futvoye, Esq., of the Crown Law Department, being similar to that formerly contained in the Lower Canada Law Almanac, published by that gentleman. The article on Education, Upper Canada, is from the pen of J. George Hodgins, Esq., Deputy Superintendent of Education for Upper Canada ; and that on Education, Lower Canada, was furnished by the Hon. P. J. 0 . Chauveau. The Militia Lists were corrected for this publication at the Adjutant General’s Department, under the supervision of W. R. Wright, Esq., senior clerk. The compilers are 8 PREFACE. also indebted to the Deputy Inspector General for reports ; to J. W. Dunscomb, Esq., for Tables of Navigation at Quebec ; to S. Keefer, Esq., for the Railway Inspector’s Report ; to C. H. Kirby, Esq., of the Montreal Herald , for valuable Parliamentary papers and documents ; and to others who have rendered assistance in various ways.. The larger part jof the information relating to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has been compiled for this publication by Alexander Monro, Esq., author of several works on the Lower Provinces. Reports were also kindly forwarded from several of the public departments. In the part of the work relating to Newfoundland, the compilers are under obligations to the Attorney General’s department, and to the Hon. R. Carter, acting colonial secretary, for corrected lists of the Judiciary, &c., and valuable manuscript information; also to J. Seaton, Esq., editor of the St. John's Express , Newfoundland, who com- piled a considerable portion of the information relating to this colony. A series of Obituary Notices, and a Summary of the Events of 1862 and 1868, have been added. The materials for this part of the work have been chiefly derived from the newspaper press. Care has been taken to render them as faithful and impartial as possible. Information will be thankfully received during the year from those who feel an interest in the work. All notifications of changes and new appointments, addressed to the office of publication, will be carefully attended to. January, 1864. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

A sudden tall also took 232 110 S6730W Dec. 8.942 3.366 47-224 87 1.201 place on 1 the 4th March” and in 16 hours indicated 0.996 inches; there were also two other considerable fluctua- tions during the month of March. At 2 P- 27th of May the Barometer stood at 28.883 inches, a somewhat unusual reading for May. There were also considerable fluctuations in October and December. Thermometer . — The mean temperature sho\^d a de- crease of 1°69 degrees compared with I860. 1 he coia term of January attained its minimum on thelJthaay, when the Thermometer was 78 hours below zero. Dur- ing the cold term of February the Thermometer ^was i56 hours below zero. The mean temperature ot the Wtoter quarter was ll.°28; of the Spring quarter, 34.^; of the Summer quarter, 66.°77 ; and oflhe Autumn quarter, 46.°10. Humidity of the Atmosphere .— The difference in hu- midity was only .006 less than the mean humidity oi 1860. Rain .— The amount of rain was 1.432 inches less than the amount of 1860. Snow .— The amount of snow exceeded by 38.26 inches the amount of 1860, and by 20.01 inches the average amount of 20 years. Wind . — This w as a more windy year than that of I860, and exceeded by 11083.46 miles the horizontal move- ment of the wind during the year I860.— The total amount for the year was 55296.78 miles. iaaoq The greatest Intensity of the Sun’s Rays was 104d and the lowest point of Terrestrial Radiation — 39 U4 (below zero.) _ Aurora Borealis visible on 42 nights.

The amount of Evaporation from the surface of water during the 7 months of moderate weather was 16 90 inches. Note.— In consequence of the removal of the Observ- atory from Isle Jesus to Montreal, in October 1862 the yearly means have only been compiled for 1861 * We propose in future to bring up the means to the latest possible date, which could not be done in the present instance for 1862, as the observati >ns were made for different periods of the year at two distant statious.

The pastoral life of the Arabs, and the solitary wastes in which they are uccustomed to live, predis- pose them to religious fanaticism and a belief in astro- logy- ^'K hey P erfo,m n « operation of daily life, and undertake no expedition, without first consulting the stars To satisfy this general demand for celestial knowledge, almanacs, or books giving general infor- mation and advice upon the movements of the heavenly bodies, became common over the Arabian and Moham- medan world. From them this fashion of literature spread over Christendom, together with most of the Arabian prototypes, so that it is only of late years that astrological predictions have not been contained in nine almanacs out often. Many manuscript almanacs ot the middle ages are preserved in the libraries of Germany, France, and England. Some of the 14th century are to be seen in the library of the British mu- seum and of Corpus Christi college, Cambridge. The Bibliotheque Imperials at Paris contains an almanac for 1442. The earliest printed almanac of which there is any record is that of George von Purbach, who lived at Vienna about the year 1160. In 1474, Regiomontanus, a German mathematician, resident at the court of the Hungarian king, Matthias Corvinus, published a la- mous series of almanacs in German and Latin, lasting irom 1476 to 1506. Since that time a continuous chain of these publications can be traced down to our own day. The series of Regiomontanus contained only the eclipses and the places of the planets, and sold for 10 crowns of gold. Yearly almanacs first appeared in the 16th century. They began to be filled with partisan prophecies against parties and individuals in the state. 1 his was prohibited with respect to French almanacs, of of * rance » lI } lo79. The almanack royal of 1 ans, 16<9, contains notices of post times, court re- ^ ,rs ’ a " d markets. To this’ was soon logy of the reigning house, a list of the L t h ."' gS - 5 1 ® history of almanacs in England, like the history of her periodical press is peculiarly interesting, because the freedom of printing, ^^J^rhamentary government, and the quantities of almanacs that have been preserved in old libraries S?hm U8 w fo !l2. w U P the several stages of their growth with much facility. James I. granted a monopoly of the S'" almanacs to the Universities and Stationers’ Company subject to the censorship of the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of London, and under their auspices astrology and popular superstition flour- ished almost unopposed until the year 1775. The puri- tan spirit of England was naturally very repugnant to this style of almanac, and to suit that taste the almanac of Allstree was published. In 1775, a blow was struck at the monopoly, by Thomas Uarnan, a London book- S er> ^ h ° thoaght jt i,le S al - The case was argued ; 2; *5® cou ^ common pleas, and decided against the Stationers Company. Lord North, then prime minister, brought in a bill to legalize the privilege, but i r K Je v ed , hy a ma J° rit y of 75, after an able argument by Erskme at the bar of the house against of the monopoly. The freedom of competition m almanacs did not result in an immediate improvement of them. They continued to be filled with nonsense and obscenity, because the popular taste ?iTfn?^ ed lt# i J n 182 ?J. tl , ie Society for the diffusion of UsefulKnowiedge published the British almanac, which effected an entire revolution in the time-honored usa- ges of almanac publishers. From that time the empire f5T aS at *? n end - The new spaper press of Biitam took the matter up and covered the old style of publications with ridicule. The Stationers’ Company was at last obliged to follow the example, and they brought out the Improved Englishman’s Almanac. C*f German almanacs, the almanack cle Gotha (now in its 101st year) has the widest reputation. The French al- ma nack lmp erial and almanack de France extend to about 1000 octavo pages each. Astrological and necro- mantic almanacs keep their ground in France, and manifest much vitality. — The earliest intellectual pro- auctions of the European race on the American conti- • nent were psalm books and almanacs. Benjamin l ran kl in s I oor Richard’s Almanac (1732) was the first rational one of its class. Almanacs are at the present time essentially a branch of popular literature : there is no such thing as a general polyglot almanac of civi- lization but each nation moulds its almanacs to suit its own tastes an inhabits of thought. What was once the daily companion and cherished luxury of kings and queens, court ladies and royal mistresses, has become popularized, and placed within the reach of the wives of country farmers and city mechanics. An amount of information, useful to the domestic sanctuary and the counting-house of the man of business, can be dif- fused by these publications, which the learned doctor who revelled in a court pension some centuries ago could never have dreamed of.- Condensed from article in Appleton s new American Cyclopcedia.

Persons desirous of subscribing or advertising are requested to forward their address to the office of publication previous to 1st October. BRITISH NORTH AMERICA, A stranger, totally unacquainted with our institu- tions, coming suddenly into our midst, might for a time suppose from the not unfrequent recurrence of the term “British North America,” that these trans- atlantic possessions of Great Britain were united under a federal governments But so far from this being the case, even the small colony of Prince Edward Island enjoys its distinct and separate government, although at least the three Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island would seem ad- mirably grouped for a united government. As how- ever the provinces and territories are not connected by any federal or legislative union, it has seemed pre- ferable to give the statistics and other information relating to each separately. This arrangement leaves very little to be said of British North America as a whole; and after noticing at length a project of great public interest, we shall pass on to the Provinces in detail. Area and Population.— The size of the British pos- sessions in North America somewhat exceeds the area of the United States before any secession had taken place. The combined territory is equal to a square of 1,770 miles, or, in other words, more than three mil- lions of square miles. This vast area is peopled by about four millions of inhabitants, of whom nearly three millions are contained in the Canadas. Political Divisions.— These are the Provinces of Can- ada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island, British Co- lumbia, Red River Settlement, and Hudson Bay Terri- tory. Natural Advantages. — British North America is famous for its magnificent rivers and lakes, splendid fisheries, rich and varied mineral resources, and vast supply of timber. It can also boast of a fertile soil and healthful climate. We here quote from a letter from the Hon. Joseph Howe to Earl Grey in 1850: “ A very common idea prevails in the mother coun- try that nearly the whole continent of North America was lost to England at the time of the revolution, and that only a few insignificant and almost worthless pro- vinces remain. This is a great, and if the error ex- tensively prevails, may be a fatal mistake. Great Bri- tain, your lordship is well aware, owns up to this mo- ment one-half the continent, and, taking the example of Europe to guide us, I believe the best half. Not the best for slavery, or for growing cotton and tobacco, but the best for raising men and women, the most' congenial to the northern European, the most proyo- cative of steady industry, and, all things else being equal, the most impregnable and secure.” Without further anticipating what may be found elsewhere under Its proper head, we proceed to notice an important project which has been before the public for many years. THE INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. The importance, political and commercial, of a union of the British North American Colonies, has frequent- ly been urged by persons whose opinions are entitled to consideration ; and intimately connected with this subject, is the project of a railway from Halifax to Quebec. As the Canadian Legislature during the last ieasion made an appropriation for a survey of the line, and as public opinion is almost unanimous in favor of the railway, should the survey demonstrate that it can be executed on satisfactory terms, it may be interesting to give here a brief history of the project. Lord Durham's opinion— A quarter of a century ago, Lord Durham, the Commissioner sent out in 1838 to inquire into the Canadian rebellion, in his re- port on Canada, dated 31st January 1839, and present- ed to Parliament 11th February 1839, strongly advo- cated a confederation of the Colonies, and the con- struction of a road from Nova Scotia to Canada. The following are some extracts from his Lordship's re- port : “We must remove from the Colonies the cause to which the sagacity of Adam Smith traced the aliena- tion of the provinces which now form the United States; we must provide some scope for what he calls ‘the importance’ of the leading men in the Colony, beyond what he forcibly terms the present ‘petty prizes of the paltry raffle of colonial faction.’ A gene- ral legislative union would elevate and gratify the hopes of able and aspiring men; they would no longer- look with envy and wonder at the great arena of the bordering federation, but see the means of satisfying every legitimate ambition in the high offices of the judicature and executive government of their own union. Nor would a union of the various provinces be less advantageous in facilitating a co-operation for various common purposes, of which the want is now very seriously felt. There is hardly a department of the business of government which does not require, or would not be better performed, by being carried on under the superintendence of a general government; but when we consider the political and commercial interests that are common to these provinces, it ap- pears difficult to account for their having ever been divided into separate governments, since they have all been portions of the same empire, subject to the same crown, governed by nearly the same laws and constitutional customs, inhabited, with one exception, by the same race, contiguous and immediately adja- cent to each other, and bounded along their whole frontier by the territories of the same powerful and rival state. It would appear that every. motive that has induced the union of various provinces into a single state exists for the consolidation of these Colo- nies under a common legislature and executive. They have the same common relation to the mother coun- try, the same relation to foreign nations. When one is' at war, the others are at war; and the hostilities that are caused by an attack on one must seriously compromise the welfare of the rest A union for common defence against foreign enemies is the natural bond of connection that holds together the great com- munities of the world; and between no parts of any kingdom or state is the necessity for such a union more obvious than between the whole of these colo- nies.” His Lordship then remarks that it would be an ad vantage to have the post office, the disposal of public lands, the custom house, the currency, and other de- partments, placed under a common management. Re- ferring to the proposed formation of a road from Hali- fax to Quebec, he says : “ I cannot point out more strikingly the evils of the present want of a general government for these pro- vinces, than by adverting to the difficulty which would practically occur, under the previous and present ar- rangements of both executive and legislative authori- ties in the various provinces, in attempting to carry such a plan into effect. For the various Colonies have no more means of concerting such common works with each other, than with the neighboring States of the Union. They stand to one another in the position C 34 INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. [1864. B. N. A. of foreign states, and of foreign states without diplo- matic relations. The governors may correspond *ith each other: the legislators may enact laws carrying the common purposes into effect in their respective jurisdictions; but there is no means by which the va- Sous details may speedily and ^satisfactorily be settled with the concurrence of the different parties.......! he completion of anv satisfactory communication ^tween Halifax and Quebec would in fact pr,>( uce r< ati ms between these provinces that would render a general union absolutely necessary. Several surv^s have proved that a railway would be perfectly practicable the whole way Instead of being shut out from aU direct intercourse with England during half the >eai, they would possess afar more certain and spee^ com- munication throughout the winter than they now possess in summer. The passage from Ireland to Que- bec would he a matter of ten or twelve days, and Hal- ifax would he the great port by which a „ lar ^ i ^ 1 r t S5 1 ° f “ of the trade, and all the conveyance of passengers to the whole of British North America would be carried on.” His Lordship further stated that the late Chief Jus- tice Sewell had received an autograph letter from the Queen’s father, approving of a similar plan proposed by the Chief Justice. In July 1848, the Earl of Lincoln declared in the House of Commons it appeared to him “ that this railroad may not only be made of great importance to the Colonies, but an object of great national interest, both in a military, a commercial, and every other point of view.” And Earl Grey, in a speech in Parliament said, “ He could not conceive any thing more impor- tant than the establishment of a communication by which they might have access from Canada to one of the nearest colonial ports to this country in all seasons of the year, and at the same time, of course, equally easy of access from Halifax to Canada.” Major Robinson's Survey.— It being proposed to have a survey made at the joint expense of the three provinces, it was undertaken by Major Robinson and Capt. Henderson, R. E., who reported thereon to the Imperial Government on the 31st August 1848. We give a few brief extracts : “The advantage which Halifax and Quebec will possess over the lines in Massachusetts in respect of iron alone, may be calculated at £500 per mile The land for the greater portion will not have to be pur- chased ; timber and stone will be had nearly along the whole line for cutting and quarrying The mails, troops, munitions of war, commissariat supplies, and all public stores, would naturally pass by it, as the safest, speediest, and cheapest means of conveyance.... But the great object for the railway to attain, and which, if it should be able to accomplish, its capability to pay the interest on the capital expended would be undoubted, is to supersede the long and dangerous passage to Quebec by the gulf of the St. Lawrence Another great effect of tin* railway would be to en- hance almost immediately the value of all real and personal property. Villages and towns would no doubt spring up in its course. The railway would give them birth, agriculture and external commerce would support and enrich them In a political and military point of view, the proposed railway must be regarded na becoming a work of necessity. The increasing po- pulation and wealth of the United States, and the dif- fusion of railways over their territory, especially in the direction of the Canadian frontier, render it ab- solutely necessary to counterbalance by some corre- sponding means, their otherwise preponderating power ...It is most essential, therefore, that the mo- ther country should be able to keep up the communi- cation with the Canadas at all times and all seasons. Weakness invites aggression, and as the railway would be a lever of power by which Great Britain could brills her strength to hear in the contest, it is not im- probable that its construction would be the means of preventing a war at some not distant time — The ex- pense of one year’s war would pay for a railway two or three times over. And if, for ereat political oN feet* it over became necessary or advisable to unite ail the British Provinces under one legislative Govern- mint, then there will be found, on this side of the At- lantic, one powerful British State, which, supported bv the Imperial power of the mother country, may bid defiance to all the United States of America. The means to the end, the Bret great step tort* accomplish- mont, is the construction of the Halifax and Quebeo Railway.” From Capt. Henderson’s report, which accompanied Major Robinson’s, we take the following table of gra. dients on the whole line from Halifax to Quebec: Level, and under 20 feet per mile 439 miles. from 20 to 40 “ 150 “ “ 40 to 50 “ 23 “ “ 50 to GO “ 10 " “ 60 to 70 “ 4 “ Proceedings of the Provincial Legislatures , $c.— In 1849 the Colonies passed Acts for the promotion of the undertaking. The following is an extract from the Minutes of the Legislative Council of New Brunswick, 6th January, 1849: “The Council fully concur with the opinion ex- pressed by Major Robinson in his very able report, that while the projected railway will be of great ad- vantage to Provincial interests, it is at the same time a work of imperative necessity, in a national point of view, for the preservation and integrity of this por- tion of Her Majesty’s dominions. Were the available resources of the Province equal to our desires for the permanency of our connection with the empire and the stability of British institutions on this continent, we would at once take upon ourselves our proportion of this good work, asking aid from no quarter. No question of greater importance to British Colonial in- terests could be presented for the consideration of the government; upon it hangs the destiny of these pro- vinces as portions of this empire; in its favorable ter- mination we view the only guarantee of colonial unity and British supremacy in British North America.” On the 30th May 1849, the Canadian Legislature passed an Act containing the following clause : “ And whereas the proposed railway between Hali- fax and Quebec will be a great national work, bring- ing together the several portions of the British Em- hre on the continent of North America, and facilitab ng the adoption of an extensive, wholesome and effective system of emigration and colonization; and it is right that Canada should render such assistance as her means will admit towards the accomplishment of a work so important, and promising results so bene- ficial: Be it therefore enacted, that if Her Majesty's government shall undertake the construction of the said railway, either directly or through the instrumen- tality of a private company, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, on behalf of this Province, to undertake to pay yearly, in proportion as the work advances, a sum not. exceeding £20,000 stg., towards making good the deficiency (if any) in the income from the railway, to meet the interest of the sum expended upon it, and to place at the disposal of the Imperial government, all the ungranted lands within the pro- vince lying in the line of railway, to the extent of ten miles on each side thereof; aiid to undertake to ob- tain, pay for, and place at the disposal of the Imperial government all the land required within the province for the line of railway, and ior proper stations and ter- mini.” The surveys and plans of the contemplated road hav- ing been submitted to the consideration of the Legis- lative Council of Nova Scotia, that body framed an address for presentation to the Queen, from which the following is an extract : “The able report of your Majesty’s engineers em- ployed in this survey, confirms the views entertained by the Legislative Council, that the accomplishment of this undertaking will develop the resources of your Majesty’s noble possessions on this continent, create new elements of prosperity, promote internal improve- ment, and become a national and indissoluble bond of Almanac. 1864. j INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY, 35 union with the parent state. Impressed with these sentiments, the Legislature of this Province has passed a law granting, free of expense, a right of way for the railroad, together with all public lands for ten "miles on either side thereof, and charging upon the provincial and local revenues of Nova Scotia an annual contribu- tion of £20,000 sterling, towards the payment of the interest of the sum required to be expended upon the construction of the work, of which sum a fifth part has been voluntarily tendered by the citizens of Halifax, and the whole will be annually paid to such commis- sioners as your Majesty may be pleased to appoint after the completion, or satisfactory security for the com- pletion, of such railway, until the traffic thereon shall oe sufficient to relieve the Provincial (Government from further contribution The projected railway will furnish a safe military road through the centre of British America; open a boundless tract of fertile soil for colonization ; facilitate the transport of your Ma- jesty's mails and troops; and will create a new inter- course with Western America through the lakes of the St. Lawrence to Halifax, a feat surpassed by none on the continent of America." The report of the Select Committee of the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly contained the follow- ing strong expression : “ We think the plain, broad question on this subject is, do the people of England wish to retain the North American Colonies or not? If they do, the Trunk Railway is indispensable, and should be completed at any cost." Negotiation with the Imperial Government .— The ex- tracts we have given above are sufficient to show the favorable opinion of the project entertained by the Colonial legislatures. We proceed to review some of the correspondence on the subject. On the 25th No- vember 1850, Hon. Josejih Howe (who was selected by the Government of Nova Scotia to impress the import- ance of the Quebec and Halifax Railway upon the Im- perial Government), in a letter to Earl Grey, repre- sented that the route would save, in the communication between Europe and America, fifty-six hours to every individual in all time to come, who passed between the two continents ; the sea risks to life and property being diminished by one-third of the whole. "The British Government," continued the writer, “now pay for the conveyance of the North American mails between England and New York, £145,000 stg. per annum. By this arrangement 1,107 miles of sea are traversed more than are necessary. The corres- ondence of all Europe with all America is delayed fty-six hours beyond the time which will be actually required for its conveyance when the railroads across Ireland and Nova Scotia are completed. One set of these British mail steamers pass by our Provinces, and to the mortification of their inhabitants, carry their let- ters, and even the public despatches of their government to the United States, to be sent back some 800 miles, if they came by land; at least 500 if sent by sea. While the nearest land to Europe is British territory — while a harbour, almost matchless for security and capacity, invites Englishmen to build up within the empire a fit- ting rival to the great commercial cities which are rising beyond it, your Lordship will readily compre- hend the depth and earnestness of our impatience to be rescued from a position which wounds our pride as British subjects, and is calculated rapidly to gener- ate the belief, that the commanding position of our country is either not understood, or our interests but lightly valued." On the 10th March, 1851, a letter was addressed to the Hon. Jos. Howe, communicating the decision of Her Majesty's Government on the application for as- sistance. The following is an abstract. The Govern- ment of Nova Scotia had desired that the payment of the interest of a loan of £800,000, the estimated ex- pense of constructing that part of the line which would pas* through that Province, should be guaranteed by the Imperial Parliament, the effect of which would be that the money might be raised on terms much more favorable than would be otherwise required by the lenders. Her Majesty’s Government were prepared to recommend to Parliament that this guarantee should be granted on the following conditions : 1st. The work was not to be commenced, nor any part of the loan to be raised, until arrangements were made with the Provinces of Canada and New Brunswick, by which the construction of a line of railway passing wholly through British territory, from Halifax to Quebec or Montreal, should be provided for to the satisfaction of Her Majesty’s Government. 2nd. It was to be clearly understood that the whole cost of the line was to be provided for by loans raised by the Provinces, in such proportions as might be agreed upon, with the guar- antee of the Imperial Parliament. 3rd. The manner in which the profits to be derived from the railway, when completed, were to be divided between the Pro- vinces, would also remain for future consideration. 4th. It would further be required that the several Pro- vincial legislatures should pass laws, making the loans which they were to raise a first charge upon the pro- vincial revenues, after any existing debts and pay- ments on account of the civil lists settled on Her Ma- jesty by laws then in force; and also, that permanent taxes should be imposed (or taxes to continue in force till the debt should be extinguished), sufficient to pro- vide for the payment of the interest and sinking fund of the loans proposed to be raised after discharging the above prior claims. 5th. The expenditure of the money raised under the guarantee of the Imperial Par- liament, was to take place under the superintendence of commissioners appointed by Her Majesty’s Govern ment, and armed with sufficient power to secure the due application of the funds so raised to their intended object. 6th. The right of sending troops, stores, and mails along the line, at reasonable rates, was likewise to be secured. Alluding to the above letter, in a despatch dated 14th March, 1851, addressed to the Earl of Elgin, Earl Grey wrote as follows : " In coming to the decision that Parliament should be invited to give this support to the projected railway, Her Majesty’s Government have not failed to bear in mind that, by enabling the North American Provinces to open this great line of communication, it may fairly be assumed that a powerful stimulus will be given to their advance in wealth and population; and that the consequent increase in their resources will render it possible for them to relieve the mother country sooner, and more completely, than would otherwise be practi- cable, from charges now borne by it on account of these Colonies. In another despatch of this date I have informed your lordship that, in the judgment of Her Majesty’s Government, the British Colonies ought to be required, as they become capable of doing so, to take upon themselves not only the expenses of their civil government, but a portion, at all events, of those incurred for their protection ; and I have pointed out to vou that the British North American Provinces, and especially Canada, have now reached such a stage in their progress, that the charges for which Parlia- ment is called upon to provide on their account, ought to be rapidly diminished. The construction of the proposed railway would greatly contribute to promote this important object Though I can well believe that there would be much room for doubting whether the railway would pay as a mercantile speculation to a company looking to traffic only for its remunera- tion, the case is very different when it is regarded as a public undertaking. When viewed in this light, the various indirect advantages, which cannot fail to arise 36 INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. [1864. B. N. A. to the provinces from possessing of communication, must be a* we iferred vorv irroat additional value winch would be conieruu on a vasf extent of public lands which are now com- paratively worthless." On the 31st March, 1852, the Hon. F. Hincks wTote to the Right Hon. Sir John Fakington, asking Impe- rial assistance for the construction of the railway to run by the valley of the St. John river, instead of by the Bay of Clialeurs. To this Sir John Fakington re- plied, on the 20th May, that on reference to the corre- spondence which had already taken place, it would appear evident that no pledge had been given of assist- ance to any line, except that originally proposed. From this time the question of Imperial assistance re- mained in abeyance until the summer of 1857, when the three Frovinces again united, and sent delegates to England to confer with the Imperial Government. The Hon. J. A. Macdonald and Hon. Mr. Rose were the Canadian delegates. At the time of their arrival in England, however, the attention of the Imperial Government was occupied with the events transpiring in India, and the delegates returned without any im- mediate conclusion being come to on the propositions of either Canada or Nova Scotia. Before returning, the Canadian delegates embodied their views in a mem- orandum, which they laid before the Colonial Secre- tary. From this document we make a few extracts : “In 1838 and 1839, when Canada was invaded by or- ganized parties of marauders Irom the neighboimg country, with the avowed intention of conquest, troops were transported by that route (from Halifax to Que- bec) in winter, when the St. Lawrence was closed, with much ditliculty, at an enormous expense, ancl with great suffering to the soldiery ; and the impossibility ol carrying military stores in sufficient quantities was then also fully proved. Several explorations were conse- quently made by the military authorities, with a view to the construction of a military road, as part of the system of defence of the British North American Col- onies. It was then suggested that a railway, besides being of more utility for this purpose than an ordinary road; would be of great, commercial benefit to those Frovinces, and at the same time confer the political advantage of connecting them more intimately with the mother country and with each other. As this scheme would cost much more than the road originally intended, and as the Colonies would be so much more benefited thereby, it was thought right that they should contribute to the expense of construction. A survey was accordingly made in the year 1848, by Ma- jor Robinson and other officers selected by the Impe- rial Government, but at the expense of the Colonies. Misapprehension arose between Lord Grey and Mr. Howe, of Nova Scotia, then conducting the negotia- tion, as to whether, in case Major Robinson’s line were adopted, the imperial guarantee would not also be ex- tended to a lateral railway running from the main line through NewBrunswick, westward to the frontier of the United States. This sideline, if constructed, would have much improved the commercial character of Major Robinson’s line, as it would have formed a valuable feeder, and connected it with the general railway sys- tem of the United States. Acting, therefore, under the belief that the guarantee was to be so extended, the three Frovinces of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, made an agreement to construct the rail- way from Halifax to Quebec in equal proportions, and S roceeded to legislate upon it with a view to the imme- iate execution of the work. On its being ascertained that it had not been intended by the British Govern- ment to grant the guarantee to the local line above re- ferred to, all the objections to Major Robinson’s route revived, and the arrangements between the Frovinces fell to the ground. Anxiously desiring the construction of the railway, the Provinces, although much disap- pointed at the frustration of their expectations, entered into a new arrangement. They agreed, if the railway was built along the valley of the river St. John, Nova Scotia would twelfths, and Ne promised great commercial of construction. return, and at the ailvantages a a h condition imposed by the Im- sa, i! e *1 V® v a n m nt that it should pass exclusively Pi en n triV Brftteh territory .

They had not thought proper to press the subject again during the Russian war, but as peace had been restored, it would seem that no time should be lost in undertaking the work. While Imperial interests required the road as much as ever, the position of Canada had materially altered. Since 1852, ten lines of railway, extending over about 1,600 miles, had been constructed, at an aggregate cost of about £19,000,000 stg., by private companies, chartered and aided by money grants from the Provin- cial Government, to the extent of nearly five millions and a half. Preparations were also in progress for the construction of an interior line of communication, far removed from the American frontier, by a combined system of railway and canal between the river Ottawa and Lake Huron. Canada bad, therefore, already as- sumed the full measure of pecuniary obligation which her resources rendered prudent; but as access to the ocean, and communication with England, could only be had in winter through the United States, so for as Imperial interests were concerned, the railway facili- ties were in a great measure incomplete. So far as the commercial wants of Canada were concerned, they were amply supplied by the existing railway commu- nications to the American seaports, New York and Boston, and by the railway from Montreal to Port- land; but this entire dependence on, and exclusive re- lations with a foreign country, could not but exercise an unwholesome influence on the status of Canada as a portion of the empire, and tend to establish elsewhere that identity of interest which ought to exist between the mother country and the colony. In case of a rup- ture with the United States, during five months of the year reinlorcements could not be obtained by sea. On the other hand, seven American railways terminated directly at the Canadian boundary, by means of w hich the United States could concentrate all their forces upon any particular point with the utmost expedition. In conclusion, the following mode, by which the road might be constructed, was suggested : “The question of route is one which, so far as Can- ada is concerned, might be left to the Imperial Gov'ern- ment and the Lower Frovinces; but the length of that which would probably be chosen may be assumed at 600 miles. By Major Robinson's report, the cost of the longest or coast route of 635 miles, is £7,000 stg. per mile, to which ten per cent, is added for con *j^" gencies, making the cost, in round numbers, £5,000,000. Now Canada has already built, or has in progress, 110, and Nova Scotia 60 miles, available for any route selected for the intercolonial road, leaving 420 to be constructed. Allowing one million stg. to be added to Major Robinson’s estimate for the rise in the cost of labor and materials since 1848, the balance to be pro- vided for is £5,000,000. This would include the cost of the whole section apportioned to and now in process Almanac. 1864.] INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY; 37 of construction by Nova Scotia, but does not include the cost of the 110 miles in Canada, on which a million, raised from other sources, will be expended.” Resolutions were adopted by both branches of the Canadian legislature on the 16th August 1858, approv- ing of this memorandum of the Canadian delegates. At a meeting held at London, England, on the 5th June 1858, presided over by Lord Bury, resolutions were adopted setting forth the importance of the road in a national point of view, and recommending that measures should be adopted to carry out the views ex- pressed by the Imperial and Colonial governments. It was further resolved that it was “ advisable that ap- plication be forthwith made to Her Majesty’s govern- ment upon the subject of the proposed railway from Halifax to Quebec, with a view to ascertain what en- couragement and assistance they are prepared to afford to the promoters of the undertaking.” The deputation appointed to wait upon the Colonial Secretary consist- ed of the following noblemen and gentlemen : — Vis- count Bury, M.P., Chairman ; Viscount Goderich, M.P., Sir Allan N. MacNab, Hon. John Vivian, M.P., Hon. C. W. W. Fitz william, M.P., Hon. S. Cunard, Messrs. Glyn, M.P., Roebuck, M.P., Neeld, M.P., Nisbet, M.P., Col. Boidero, M.P., Right Hon. S. Est- court, M.P., Hon. F. Berkeley, M.P., Hon. Justice Haliburton, Messrs. Langton, M.P., Christy, M.P., Wyld, M.P., Collins, M.P., Nelson, Brotherhood, Mas- terman, Stevens, and Sewell. Among the reasons urged by speakers at the meeting, in favor of the road, were the following: lion. John Vivian, M.P., com- mented upon the difficulty of sending troops to Cana- da in the winter, recalling the toilsome march of the 43rd, which was ordered from New Brunswick to re- inforce Lord Gosford, Governor General of Canada, during the Canadian rebellion. The Hon. Samuel Cunard stated that during 20 years his steamers had never once been shut out of Halifax, whereas they had many times been kept out of Boston. The Hon. Jus- tice Haliburton called attention to our total depend- ence upon the United States for the transmission of the English mails to Canada. He said British America was the only British possession where the climate suited European constitutions. The undertaking had now become much easier, as the distance had been lessened at both ends by the lines constructed by Can- ada and Nova Seotia. The deputation waited upon Sir E. BuUver Lytton, Colonial Secretary, on theI4th June 1858, and request- ed that the Imperial government should guarantee them the sum of £60,000 a year^ which, together witli the £60,000 voted by the legislatures of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, would form a guarantee equal to 4 per cent, on the estimated amount of the capital to be expended— £3,000,000 stg., deducting the cost of that portion at the extremities of the route al- ready constructed. It was represented that the harbor of Halifax was the only harbor, even so far south as New York, which was never closed by ice. The dis- tance from Halifax to Boston was 400 mile9, so that by landing at Halifax, and proceeding upon British territory, those 400 miles by sea would be saved. The Hon. Justice Haliburton argued that the produce from the West must come by this railway to Halifax, the nearest port on the Atlantic between England and America. Only this link was wanting to complete the communication the whole way from Halifax to the head of Lake Superior, and thence to Vancouver’s Is- land through open country. If this railway were com- pleted, troops need not be kept in Canada, as they could be sent to any point in the province from Eng- land in 11 days. Sir E. Bulwcr Lytton said the project had received his most favorable attention. In its political aspect he thought it was a great national road, and highly advantageous to Imperial interests. But as a finan- cial question, it pertained to the department of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to whom he recom- mended the deputation to apply. The same gentle- men accordingly waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the following day, making similar repre- sentations, and also pointing out that as the British government was paying nearly £30,000 a year for the conveyance of the mails to the United States (which the projected Railway Company would carry free of charge), this sum should be set off from the £60,000 asked for, so that the remaining portion would be only £30,000, against which might be set the con- veyance of troops and stores, and the national impor- tance of the undertaking. The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer dismissed the deputation with the assurance that he would give the undertaking an early and at- tentive consideration. Since that time five years have elapsed, and the pro- ject remains unaccomplished. In 1861, the Colonies again pressed upon the Impe- rial government the advantages and necessity of con- structing the railway. Their delegates urged that "without that road the Provinces are dislocated, and almost incapable of defence for a great portion of the year, except at such a sacrifice of life and property, and such an enormous cost to the mother country, as makes the small contribution which she is asked to give towards its construction, sink into insignificance. With that railroad we can concentrate our forces on the menaced points of the frontier; guard the citadels and works which have been erected by Great Britain at vast expense, cover our cities from surprise, and hold our own till reinforcements can be sent across th© sea.” In the speech of the Governor General, at the open- ing of the Session of the Canadian Legislature in March 1802, it was stated : “ During the past recess a conference took place between the delegates represent- ing the government of this province and those of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, to consider the propriety of renewing the application to the Imperial govern- ment for assistance in constructing the railway which will unite the three provinces. A joint delegation pro- ceeded to England for the purpose of re-opening ne- gotiations with Her Majesty’s government. No an- swer has as yet been received.” Hon. Mr. Sieotte asked for ministerial explanations as to the negotiations carried on in reference to this sub- ject. Hon. Att’y Gen. Cartier said the renewed nego- tiations had for a basis the same principles as those on which they were conducted when the Hon. Mr. Sieotte was a member of the government, viz: that New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Canada should con- tribute each £20,000 a year, and the Imperial Govern- ment should give the remainder. Hon. J. S. Macdon- ald was in l'avor of having a line connecting us with 38 INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. [ 1864 . B. N. A. the ocean, and would regret that the negotiations in- tended to secure its being built should prove futile. The paragraph was carried by 99 to 15. We pass on to review the negotiations above referred to, which took place in 18G1-2-3. The documents were laid before the Canadian Parliament in February 1863. There is first a letter from the Hon. Messrs. Sicotte and Howland, dated Quebec, Feb. 27 1863, addressed to the Provincial Secretary of Canada, in which they state that by order in Council, of the 22nd Oct. 1862, they were deputed to England to confer with the Im- perial Government upon the matters described in that order. Immediately on their arrival in London, acting in conjunction with the delegates of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, they put themselves in communica- tion with the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colonies. After several interviews with His Grace and the Officers of the Treasury, the Canadian delegates submitted, on the 2nd December, to the Colo- nial Secretary, a paper signed by all the delegates, being their joint proposal as to the terms and conditions upon which the guarantee offered by the Imperial Gov- ernment would be most acceptable and least onerous to the Colonies. Messrs. Howland and Sicotte had all along stated their decided objection to a sinking fund, which had been admitted as just by the Colonial Ofiice, and the simple engagement of the Provinces to repay the loan at the periods agreed upon, had been acknow- ledged as sufficient security for the Imperial Govern- ment. The only difference between this joint Colonial proposal and the one submitted and signed by the Canadian delegates was as to the intervals of payment, which were in the first proposal, 20, 30 and 40 years, and as to the net profits of the road being applied in extinction of the principal. On the reception of the joint Colonial proposal it was found that the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer strongly objected to the terms of payment, and to the absence of a sinking fund. As the Duke of Newcastle, on account of his health, had to leave London till “ probably the middle of Jan- uary,” he advised the Canadian delegates to see the Chancellor and endeavour to overcome the difficulties which had thus arisen. An interview was accordingly had, the extent of the sinking fund discussed, and the objection to it explained and urged by Mr. Sicotte, who attended at this interview ; Mr. Howland being absent through illness. The loan was represented by Mr. Sicotte as a loan to promote and protect Imperial interests as well as Colonial, and it was hoped that steps would be taken, as had been done in some other instances, for granting this loan, not of money, but of a simple guarantee, without the embarrassments and losses of a sinking fund, whether in the old form or in the new one proposed by Mr. Tilley. The Chancellor promised to consider these views, and give the dele- gates an early reply. The Imperial answer and condi- tions proposed, were communicated to them on the 13th Dec., during their temporary absence from London. The Hon. Mr. Tilley left London on the 13th, and in a letter of that date expressed his hope that the Chancel- lor would be induced to reconsider tin? matter of the sinking fund, and trusted that the Colonies would be enabled to convince the Imperial Parliament that under all the circumstances of this peculiar case, a sinking fund should not be insisted upon. The Hon. Mr. Howe, in a letter of the 19th Dec., declared that he concurred in all that Mr. Tilley had said, or that Messrs Sicotte and Howland could say on the subject of the sinking fund, and hoped that parliament would be induced to rely upon the honor and ample resources of the Provinces for the prompt payment of the in- stalments as they became due. These passages were par- ticularly dwelt upon, as showing how all the Colonies were agreed in the condemnation of the sinking fund. The inconvenience, the trouble, the inevitable loss of a sinking fund, were fully discussed at the conference held in Quebec in September last, and all present agreed in their disapprobation <..f such an arrangement. On the return of the delegates to London, the whole subject was thoroughly discus-ed with Mr. Howe, and the Canadian delegates informed him that they would submit their formerly expressed views in writing to the Colonial Secretary before leaving London, which was accordingly done in their memorial of the 23rd December. The negotiations were opened in 1861, as appears by the following despatch from the Duke of Newcastle to Lord Monck, dated 12th April, 1862. “ You are aware that I duly received your despatch of the 31st Oct. last, reporting that at a meeting in the Council Chamber at Quebec, of members cf the Coun- cils of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, it was resolved that those three Governments should renew the offer made to the Imperial Government on the 26tli October 1858, to aid in the construction of an Intercolonial Railway between Halifax and Quebec, and that a delegation from the Provinces sln uld pro- ceed to England with the view of promoting this object. You reported to me that Hon. P. Vankoughnet was appointed to represent Canada, and not long after- wards this gentleman, associated with Hon. Joseph Howe from Nova Scotia, and Hon. S. Tilley from New Brunswick, arrived in England. I had several inter- views with these gentlemen, who urged with great ability the project committed to their charge, and eventually embodied their views in a memorandum communicated to me in a letter dated Dec. 2, 1861; but owing to the urgency of business connected with the threatening aspect of affairs in the United States, I was unable to bring the subject under the consideration of Her Majesty’s Government before the deputies were obliged to return to their homes, and other urgent matters have hitherto prevented the adoption of a decision. The subject has now been before ller Majesty’s Government, and 1 need scarcelv assure you that they have examined it with the care due to the importance of tin? question, to the high authorities from whom it has. emanated in the Province, and the character and position of the delegates by whom it has been so power- fully presented to notice in this country. The length of railway necessary to complete the com- munication between Halifax and Quebec is estimated at 350 miles, and the cost, after deducting the right of way which the Provinces will provide, is estimated at .£3,000,000 Stg. Such being the data supplied by the deputation, the project is that the Imperial Govern- ment should join the three Provinces in a guarantee of 4 Tier cent, upon £3,000,000. in which case the Provinces are ready to pass bills of supply for £60,000 a year (£20,000 in each Province) if the Imperial Government will do the same. The selection of the route is left solely to the British Government. Should the sum of three millions be found insufficient, nothing very de- finite is said on the essential point of the provision to be made for the completion of the railway. I much regret to inform you that, after giving thesubjeot their best consideration, Her Majesty’s Government have not felt themselves at liberty to concur in this mode of assistance. Anxious, however, to promote, as far as they can, the important object of completing the great line of railway communication on British ground between the Atlantic and the westernmost parts of C anada, and to assist the Provinces in a scheme which would so materially promote their inter- ests, Her Majesty's Government are willing to offer to the Provincial Governments an Imperial guarantee of Almanac. 1864.] INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. 39 interest towards enabling them to raise by public loan, if they should desire it, at a moderate rate, the requi- site funds for constructing the railway. This was the mode of action contemplated by Earl Grey in the year 1851, and is the same method which was adopted by Parliament in the Act of 1842, in order to afford to Canada the benefit of British credit in raising the money with which she has completed her great system of internal water communications. The nature and extent of the guarantee which Her Majesty’s Govern- ment could undertake to recommend to Parliament must be determined by the particulars of any scheme which the Provincial Governments may be disposed to found on the present proposal, and on the kind of security which they would offer. I fear that this course will not be so acceptable to the Provincial Government as that which the delegates were au- thorized to propose for consideration. Jt is, however, the only one in which Her Majesty’s Government, after anxious deliberation, feel that they would be at liberty to participate. I trust that the proposal will at all events be received as a proof of their earnest wish to find some method in which they can co-operate with the Provinces in their laudable desire to complete a perfect intercolonial communication over British terri- tory, and it will be a source of sincere pleasure to me if, adverting to all the different hearings of the subject, and the condition of their respective finances, the Provincial Governments should end by finding it in their power to make use of the present offer, and to propound some S racti cable scheme for applying it to the attainment of tie desired object. I have addressed a similar dis- patch to the Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia and and New Brunswick, and I must now leave the subject in the hands of the several Provincial Governments, who will best know, in case they prosecute the subject farther, how to provide for the requisite mutual con- sultations.” This was followed by a despatch from Earl Mulgrave to Lord Monck, dated Halifax, May 3, 1862, enclosing a copy of a resolution which was passed by the Nova Scotian House of Assembly, by which the Govern- ment of that Province were authorized to arrange, by negotiation with the neighboring colonies, a reciprocal interchange of manufactures, duty free, if it should appear upon inquiry that it could be accomplished without serious loss of revenue. On the 15th Aug., 1862, Lord Monck wrote to the Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick, stating that it was very desirable, in order to return a satisfactory answer to the despatch of the Duke of Newcastle inserted above, that the three Pro- vinces interested should come to a distinct under- standing as to the part which each of them would undertake in reference to the execution of the proposed work. His Lordship mentioned the expected visit of Earl Mulgrave and the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick to Canada, as a suitable time to hold a con- ference, members of the respective administrations assisting, and thfe 10th of September was named for that purpose. The official return then gives the report of the Com- mittee of the Executive Council of Canada, approved by the Gov. General in Council, on the 10th Sept. 1862. In this it is stated that their attentive consideration, had been given to a report of the Minister of Finance, on the despatch from the Lieut. Governor of Nova Scotia, enclosing a copy of a resolution of the Legislative As- sembly, empowering the government of that, colony to arrange, by negotiation with the neighboring pro- vinces, a reciprocal interchange of manufactures, duty free, and suggesting that delegates from the provinces should meet to consider it. The Minister of Finance submitted a series of tables, exhibiting the export and import trade with the Lower Provinces, the nature of the imports from the United States for each colony, the tariffs of the several colonies, &c., and expressed his opinion in favor of entering into negotiations, hav- ing in view the greater freedom of intercourse between the colouies; ami he recommended that a proposal be made for the reciprocal free admission of all articles, the growth, produce, and manufacture of Canada, No- va Scotia, and any other province becoming a party to the agreement that may be founded on this proposal. He further submitted that the meeting of delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, to be held at Quebec, to consider the question of the Intercolonial Railway, would be a favorable opportunity to consider also the question of intercolonial trade. The commit- tee of the Executive Council concurred in opinion with the Finance Minister, and submitted his suggestions for his Excellency’s approval. Intercolonial Reciprocity .—The report of the Cana- dian Finance Minister above referred to, is on the sub- ject of trade between the colonies. But as this ques- tion was considered together with the railway, the report and annexed tables are introduced here. Report to the Executive Council on the subject qf Inter- colonial Reciprocity. Quebec, 8th September, 1862. In reference to the despatch from the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia to his Excellency the Gover- nor General, which contains a copy of a resolution of the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia, empowering the Government of that Colony to arrange by negotia- tion with the neighbouring Provinces a reciprocal interchange of manufactures, duty tree — invites a pro- posal on the subject from Canada, and suggests that delegates from the Provinces should meet to consider it— the Minister of Finance has the honor to report : Intercolonial reciprocity commanded the attention of both the Imperial and the Canadian Governments in I860. In tli at year the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade expressed an opinion some- what adverse to it. The Finance Minister of Canada, however, stated the views of our Government in reply, and as no answer to his arguments waa ever made,* it is to be hoped the Imperial authorities were thereby con- vinced that the project is not of the character they feared, and that no opposition need lie anticipated to any measure having for its object the enlargement of Free Trade between the neighbouring dependencies of the Empire. Reciprocal freedom from intercolonial duties on a variety of articles already exists between the British North American Colonies, and future en- actments can but extend a principle already sanction- ed. For the purpose of properly considering the subject of intercolonial trade, the undersigned has caused several tables to be prepared which are hereto append- ed. They contain statistical information to the latest available' dates. , T TT The first series of statements numbered I, II, and 111, compiled from our own Trade and Navigation Returns, exhibits the extent of our import and export trade with our sister Colonies for the past four years. It seems small compared with our total commerce; but it is nevertheless worthy of consideration, and as faci- lities for communication with them extend, and their population increases, it will undoubtedly grow iu im- portance. „ , j^est, however, the small extent of our trade with these Provinces should give rise to erroneous ideas as to their commercial activity, attention is directed to the Table No. IV., which, with the following, is made ui> from their official statements, and shows that, m proportion to their population, the imports and ex- ports of each— excepting Prince Edward Island— exceed those of Canada ; if, as the undersigned be- lieves, this is due to the fact that their agricultural re- * Subsequently to the presentation of the Report a despatch came to the knowledge of the Finance Min- ister, in which the principle is fully conceded. 40 INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY.

A. sources and manufacturing capital are both limited than ours, it furnishes a reason why, with increasing means of intercourse, their trade witn us may be expected likewise to increase. Table V. exhibits in contrast the Tariffs of the seve- ral Provinces. The articles selected for comparison are those on which we collected duty to the extent ot 810,000 on the total imports of the year 1861, and as these comprised 91* per cent, of the whole the rest may be left out of consideration. Ihe following articles, viz: Brandy, Coffee, dried fruits, gin, mo- lasses, rum, soap, sugar, tea, tobacco and wine, are charged with specific duties in some of the Colonies, and these have been reduced to their ad valorem equivalents on the basis of value supplied by our own Trade and Navigation Tables. With a more extended trade between Canada and the Lower Provinces, we should compete in their markets, not with the productions of Great Bintain, , but with those of the United States. Tables VI, VII, ^ III, and IX, show the exact nature of the imports from the United States for each colony, and table X gives the aggregate. An examination of these statements plainly shows that a large proportion of the goods which the maritime provinces now buy in the States could be supplied by Canada. They consist mainly of agricultural produce, in raising which we excel, and of articles the manufacture of which is rapidly increas- ing here. It would also be manifestly advantageous to all the Provinces, if colonial merchants and for- warders could secure a share of the business which is now almost exclusively confined to the Americans. In view of all these facts and considerations, it appears desirable to enter into negotiations having in view the establishment of greater freedom of inter- course between the Colonies. If a complete Customs union could be formed between the Provinces, under which they could interchange without restriction all goods, the produce and manufacture of whatever country, it would have a beneficial effect. But as, to carry such a union conveniently into effect, greater uniformity in the tariffs of the several colonies must be secured, which would be almost impracticable under their present political condition, the undersigned con- tents himself for the present with recommending, that in answer to the despatch of the Nova Scotian Government, a proposal be made for the reciprocal free admission of all articles, the growth, produce and manufacture of Nova Scotia and any other Province becoming a party to the agreement that may be founded on this proposal. If such an arrangement can be effected, it will undoubtedly increase intercolonial trade, and open the way for the establishment of more intimate political relations bet ween these important dependencies of the British Crown. The chief difficulty in bringing it about will probably be found in tine indisposition of all the Provinces to sacrifice revenue. It is not to be expected that a large trade will spring up ah at once; it will take years for its development., and ample time will be afforded to supply from other sources any deficiency which may thus arise. That the present sacrifice would be insignificant, will be seen by tables XI, XII, XIII, and XIV. Regulations wouldof course be framed for the protection of the revenue of each colony, to prevent the free admission of other goods than those ooming within the scope of the conven- tion. Referring to the proposal of the Lieut. Governor of Nova Sootia that a delegation should meet to consider tliis subject, either in Halifax or New Brunswick, the undersigned submits that the meeting of delegates from Nova Sootia and New Brunswick, about to be held here, to consider the question of an Intercolonial Railway, would be a favorable opportunity to consider also the question of Intercolonial Trade. The whole nevertheless submitted for the considera- tion of the lion, the Executive Council, i Signed,) W. P. Howland.

L. Tilley, for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick : “The delegates from Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick, and the Government of Canada, having under consideration the report of the Hon. I< inance Minister of Canada, of the 8th of September inst., on the sub- ject of Intercolonial Reciprocity, agree— 1st. that the free interchange of goods, the growth, produce, and manufacture of the provinces, and uniformity ot tariff, are considered to be an indispensable consequence of the construction of the Intercolonial Railway. 2nd. But that in consequence of the recent diminution of the revenues of the respective provinces, arising out of the war in the neighboring Republic, and the increased liabilities incurred by the additional obliga- tions necessary to the construction of the proposed road, the delegates from Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick regret that they are not at this moment in a position to adopt measures to carry this important principle into practical effect." Continuation of the negotiation s respecting the In - tercolonial Railway .—On the 12th Sept. 1862, Lord Monck wrote to the Duke of Newcastle, stating that it was intended that a deputation of his Executive Coun- cil should proceed to England in the course of the au- tumn, in order to give further facilities, by means of personal communication, for completing the arrange- ments proposed. His lordship enclosed an approved minute of his Executive Council on the subject of the railway, which was as follows : “The Committee of Council have given their earnest consideration to the annexed memorandum of agree- ment, adopted at a meeting of the delegates from the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and your Excellency’s advisers in this province, on the subject of the construction of an Intercolonial Railway, and they humbly advise that the same be approved by your Excellency." The memorandum was as follows : “The undersigned, representing the three govern- ments of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, convened to consider the despatch of His Grace} the Duke of Newcastle, of the 12th April 1862, with refer- ence to the Intercolonial Railway, having given the very important matter contained in that despatch their attentive consideration, are agreed— 1st. That while tlioy have Cnctfon tire proposals made on belialf of these pro- vtncea°in December 1861. and at previous periods, they a the Vame time acknowledge the consideration ex- hibited in substituting the proposal of an Imperial I) ...ran too of interest, towards enabling them to raise bv nM l c loan if they should desire it, at a moderate rife ti e requisite funds for constructing the railway. 2nd That with an anxious desire to bind the provinces more closely together, to strengthen their connection with the mother country, to promote their common commercial interests, and to provide facilities essen- t a l to the public defences of these provinces, as into- gn 1 parts of the empire, the undersigned are prepared to assume, under the imperial guarantee, the liability f r the expenditure necessary to construct this great work 3rd. That the three governments are agreed that the proportions of liability for the necessary ex- penditure shall be apportioned as follows, viz: five- twelfths for Canada, and seven twelfths to be equally divided between the provinces of ^ew Brunswick and Nova Scotia. 4th. But it is understood that the liabil- ity for principal and interest shall be borne by each province to the extent only of the proportions hereby agreed upon. 5th. That in arriving at this conclusion, the undersigned have been greatly influenced by the conviction that the construction of the road between Halifax and Quebec must supply an essential link in the chain of an unbroken highway, extending through British territory from the Atlantic to the 1 acilic, in the completion of which every Imperial interest in North America is most deeply involved; ana the un- designed are agreed that to present properly this part of the subject to the Imperial authorities, the three 1 ro- vinces will unite at an early day in a joint, representa- tion on the immense political and commercial import- ance of the western extension of the projected work. Signed by Messrs. J. S. Macdonald, L. V Sicotte, J. Morns, Wm. McDougall, Wm. P. Howland, U. J. Tessier, F. Evanturel, and T. D’Arcy McGee, repr^ senting Canada; Joseph Howe, Wm. Annaud, and Joseph McCully, representing Nova Scotia; S. L. lil- ley, 1\ Mitchell, and William H. Steeves, representing V a linmcwi/'lf A further memorandum was also agreed to at the conference of the delegates, that if it should be con- cluded that the work should be constructed and man- aged by a joint commission of the three Provinces, Canada was to appoint two commissioners, and the other Provinces one each ; the four to select a tilth , and that a joint delegation should proceed to England to arrange the terms of the loans, &c., with the Imperial Government. The Hon. L. Y. Sicotte and Hon. William P. How- land were accordingly appointed delegates, and were charged to urge upon the Imperial Government that the contribution which Canada might make to the In- tercolonial Railway should be regarded as an expendi- ture for defensive purposes. They were further in- structed to represent that the realization of the hopes entertained in relation to the opening up of the North- west, was essential to render the construction of the railway acceptable to the Province of Canada. The Duke of Newcastle, alluding to these points, in a despatch to Lord Monck, dated 29th November 1862, said that at the first interview with Messrs. Sicotte and Howland, he found it necessary to point out to them that the project of the railway originated with Cana- da and the Lower Provinces of British North America, and not with Her Majesty’s Government ; and that he could enter into no understanding that any payment for the railway should thereafter bo taken into account as a colonial contribution for defensive purposes. His Lordship further informed these gentlemen, with refer- ence to communication with tho North-west oountry, that though he had for some time been, and still was, Almanac. 1864.] INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY, 45 earnestly endeavoring to establish a communication with and through that territory, no such definite re- sults had yet been obtained as could enable him at pre- sent to enter into any arrangements with Canada for that object. We now come to the memorial, dated London, 23rd Dec. 1862, addressed by Messrs. Howland and Sicotte to the Duke of Newcastle, after they had failed to come to terms. In this document the Canadian dele- gates appear to think that Canada would suffer an in- dignity by being obliged to show herself capable of discharging the liability she was about to incur, before the guarantee should be granted. The memorial began with a review of the opinions expressed by pub- lic men, and of the views entertained by the different Governments of Great Britain and of the Colonies since 1839. The memorandum then proceeded as fol- lows: “The colonies have declared their willingness to assume the whole liability of the cost of the road, pro- vided they are assisted in raising the requisite funds for its construction, at a moderate rate of interest, by the Imperial guarantee. It may fairly be said that the proposal now is not of a loan of Imperial moneys to the colonies for colonial purposes only, but of a mode involving no actual liability to the Imperial govern- ment, to facilitate the construction of a great national work in the interest of the Empire as well as of the colonies. The only question involved, as regards Great Britain, is the sufficiency of the security offered by the colonies to cover this distant liability resulting from the Imperial guarantee. If their past condition, compared with the present, does not establish fully their ability to repay the loan at the periods proposed, such a comparison would only prove, more strongly than any other fact, that this admittedly necessary work of military defence ought to be executed by the Imperial government alone. Hut to make evident the ampleness of the security offered by Canada, it is suffi- cient to compare the revenue of the colony in 1842, when the first Imperial guaranteed loan was effected, with the revenue in 1861. In 1842 it was .£300,497 stg. ; in 1861 it was, after deduction of the cost of collection, £ 2 , 312.856 stg. After several interviews with your Grace and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the conditions of the loan, the nature of the security, and the arrange- ments of a sinking fund were discussed without com- ing to any positive understanding, the delegates have now been officially informed that the Imperial guaran- tee will be given on certain conditions (stated below). The delegates regret to say, that in their opinion some of these conditions are of a nature to render the Im- perial guarantee of no advantage, and others to render its availableness so remote, or encumbered with such difficulties, that the colonies could not accept it as an assistance towards an undertaking and a measure to provide facilities essential to the public defence of the f irovinces as integral parts of the empire. The stipu- ation that the loan is to be the first charge after the interest of existing debts, seems to them shaped so as to operate against the payment of other debts coming due before the repayment, of the loan. The annual repavment of the loan renders the period of payment much shorter than the period proposed, and besides the loss it involves, it deprives the colony of a large sum which, employed during such a period towards internal inprovements, would afford a greater security than this annual payment, by the development of the resources and of the wealth of the country. In any ar- rangement, the colonies ought not to be fettered by conditions of payment through any form of sinking fund which would render this Imperial guarantee an impediment to future internal improvements, while by increasing the rate of interest, and by the expenses and loss incurred in its management, the Imperial guarantee would thus cease to be of any real aid and advantage. The investment of these annual payments in colonial securities will not give a better security than the engagement of the colonial government to pay a fixed sum at a fixed period. These investments in such colonial securities as Her Majesty’s government shall direct and the colonial governments shall approve, will lead to difficulties which, if not of a graver character than those that have already arisen out of the disposal of the sinking fund created for the first Imperial guarantee, fully satisfy the delegates that these arrangements arc not more favorable than the former. The experience of Canada is strongly adverse to a sinking fund. It created annoyance and difficulties, made the rate of interest higher than she would have f >aid by borrowing on her unassisted credit. The de- egates are informed that it is of course understood that the assent of the Treasury to these arrangements presupposes adequate proof of the sufficiency of the Colonial resources to meet the charges intended to be imposed upon them. When, after more than 20 years’ negotiations, the offer of an Imperial guarantee was made, the Colonies had some right to believe that the sufficiency of their revenues to meet these increased charges was known and acknowledged, as all infor- mation which they could give is already in the pos- session of the Treasury, and is set forth in the fullest detail in the Statistical Tables annually published by Her Majesty’s Government. No survey, no legislation can take place before the Colonies are made aware that adequate proof has been made of the sufficiency of their revenues to meet the intended charges, and it would be important for the Colonies to be informed, at the earliest period, what further proof is wanted. The 8th condition is that fitting provision is to be made for the carrying of troops, Ac. If it is meant that the troops are to be carried free of charge, the delegates must observe that when this was offered by the Colonies, it was a part of the scheme then pro- posed, that England should contribute half the cost of the construction of the road. When it is now propos- ed that the whole cost should be borne by the Colo- nies, it cannot be expected that they must also relieve the Imperial Government from all expenditure at- tending the transport of troops, &c. All these condi- tions presuppose that the Imperial Government has no interest to serve or policy to uphold in the con- struction of this great railway; that the Colonies must be treated as any other government asking a loan from the Imperial Treasury. Proof is required such as is exacted from any unknown debtor as to the suffi- ciency of his means to meet his engagements. With an ordinary debtor, when this sufficiency is establish- ed, he may do what he pleases with the money bor- rowed. But in this instance the funds are to be ap- plied to an undertaking admitted by all to afford an immense development to the wealth of the creditor, enabling him to maintain efficiently his power and supremacy, with the power even of directing the lo- cation of this work where, in his opinion, it will se- cure all these advantages most efficiently, although the cost to the debtor may be much increased, and the pecuniary advantages made much less, if there be not a great loss thereby. The Treasury proposes another condition, which must greatly delay all the arrangements, and may, after all the expense attending the requisite surveys, the trouble, and the difficulties of carrying the neces- sary legislation in the different coloniallegislatures, render all this trouble, all this expenditure, all this legislation, useless and of no avail, leaving, certainly, a strong feeling of dissatisfaction in the minds of the inhabitants of the Colonies. The Imperial Govern- ment is not to be asked for this guarantee until the line and the surveys shall have been submitted to and approved by Her Majesty’s Government, and until it shall have been proved to the satisfaction of Her Ma- jesty’s Government, that the line can be constructed without further application for an Imperial guarantee. The proposed guarantee is limited by the Treasury to ■£3,000,000 ; it is possible that the railroad may cost half a million or more above this fixed sum of .±3,000,- 000, and this by the fact of a selection of a route chos- en for its military advantages, and upon considerations certainly as Imperial as Colonial. And then the Colo- nies, before obtaining this guarantee, must prove to parties not always shewing too much confidence in their wealth, that the line can be constructed without further application for an Imperial guarantee. An- other period of many years will probably elapse before the discussion upon this point closes. The schedule presupposes that the rate of interest is fixed by the 46 INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. [1864.

But before P™ c ^ edl ”£ consider the question whether steps should be taken bv 1-1 er Majesty’s Government to carrv this plan into effect it was necessary that it should be informed how the several Provinces were disposed to co-operate in its execution.’ These demands rather ungracefully Imsay' the etoquent words of Earl Onto: ‘tha* . to grant Imperial aid was a wise, a sound, and even an economical course in the end, even though in the first instance it would involve an outlay q and sure he was it would confer immense benefits on the Colonies, and bestow incalculable advantages on this country itself, and confirm its territorial power m North America.’ The question of the public defences of the Colonies, as integral parts of the Empire, the question of the maintenance, of the extension of the political and social influence of England o>er the whole of her immense possessions in North America, the economical questions of so vast magnitude to tin e welfare of the nation, the question of unemployed cap- ital, of surplus labor, underlie every link of the great and national road which Canada is anxious to build bv the largest and most liberal contributions, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. She had a just right to ask the co-operation of Great Britain, and when she only demands an advance of guarantee, eventualities involve the liability of a single half- penny, she has certainly fair grounds to expect a prompt and liberal course of action. If the different groups of population spread over British America, and which will number at least twelve or fifteen mil- lions in 25 years, are allowed to proceed in different directions, to have no common tendencies, without any centralization of their political existence, no other bond but their disjointed interests, fostered by differ- ent commercial policies, and settled upon principles of localities, they must continue weak and powerless, and an easy prey to the powerful republic girdled round these colonies. Bind all these small communities by closer intercourse, make a whole, strong by its unity of interests, of tendencies, of political organizations, of common views; create by commercial relations mutual interests amongst themselves and with Eng- land, direct their minds towards a general and com- prehensive policy, you will thus benefit the industry, the wealth of England, extend your power of civiliza- tion, and lay the foundation of large and important States, friendly and grateful. The Canadian Government does not press this undcr- - taking because it is popular with their people ; on the contrary, they have to encounter a strong and popular opposition; but fully appreciating the strength and the importance it will eventually give their country, and more particularly the facilities it will provide for the public defence of their part of the empire, they have not hesitated to adopt a policy which, appeared to them sound, highly national, and conducive to the greatness and the defence of the empire at large. As a measure of defence, Canada will cheerfully bear her share of the large burden imposed by the construction of the road. But if the policy of the Imperial Govern- * rotation to this work, is practically a declara- ? eDt i-h?t thev arenot disposed to treat it as a measure SnVtteniU concern and of public defence of the empire, IJitefnrise will not become more popular. Ihe tin ellteri r involved and following out of the StSBSt!, this so distant liability of the mmaiiim , are so much at variance with the a .me policy entertained by Canada, that the uifdersicned have considered themselves bound to re- view these long pending negotiations, and to contrast the view of the Colonies as to the military and Imperial character of tiie work, with the Imperial policy, rehis- ingto contribute towards it, and arranging not an advance of money, but a simple guarantee, which the work alone would suflicien fy protect in a manner illiberal, obstructive, and which refuses to acknowledge any corresponding duty on the part of the mother country They will hasten to submit to their Govern- ment the conditions and arrangements proposed by the Imperial Government to carry out the offer of an Imperial guarantee, with the hope that upon the Dressing instance of the Colonies, this aid of an Imperial ffiiarantce will bo given in the manner explained by the delegates at their different interviews with your Grace and the Treasury The conditions urged by the .dele- gates (which appear below) in enabling the Colonies to borrow the requisite funds at the low rate of 3* per cent, would render the Imperial guarantee a real and tang- ible assistance, accepted as an equivalent to the con- tribution of the Imperial Government towards a work of national concern and a measure of public delence. The actual and latere wealth of the Colonies are ample and sufficient securities to the Imperial Exchequer against the possibility, even the most remote, ot any loss, and a satisfactory proof that the road would be constructed if these conditions were accepted.

The money to be applied to the completion of a Railway connecting Halifax with Quebec on a line to be approved by the Imperial Government. 4. The interest to be a first charge on the consoli- dated Revenue F unds of the different Provinces after the Civil List and the interest of existing debts, and as regards C anada, after the rest of the six charges enumerated in the 5 and 6 Vic. cap. 118, and 3 and 4 Vic. cap. 35 (Act of Union). 5. The Debentures to be in series as follows, viz: £250,000 payable 10 years after contracting loan. £500,000 “ 20 years. £1,000,000 “ 30 years. £1,250,000 “ 40 years. In the event of these Debentures or any of them not being redeemed by the Colonies at the period when they fall due, the amount unpaid shall become a charge on their respective revenues, next after the loan, until paid. The principal to be repaid as follows: 1st decade, say 1863 to 1872 inclusive, £250,000 in re- demption of the 1st series at or before the close of the 1st decade from the contracting of the loan. 2nd decade, say 1873 to 1882 inclusive, a sinking fund of £40,000 to be remitted annually, being an amount adequate, if invested at 5 per cent.' compound interest, to provide £600,000 at the end of the decade, the sum to be remitted annually to be invested in the names of Trustees in Colonial securities of any of the three Pro- vinces prior to or forming part of the loan now to be raised, or in such other Colonial securities as Her Ma- jesty’s Government shall direct and the then Colonial Government approve. 3rd decade, say 1883 to 1892 inclusive, a sinking fund of £80,000 to be remitted annually, being an amount adequate, if invested at 5 per cent, compound interest, to provide £1,000,000 at the end of the decade, the amount when remitted to be invested, as in the case ot the sinking fund for the preceding decade. 4th Decade, say 1898 to 1902 inclusive, a sinking fund of £100, 000 to be remitted annually, being an amount adequate, if invested at 5 per cent, compound interest, to provide £1,250,000, being the balance of the loan at the end of the decade. This amount, when remitted, to be invested as in the preceding decade. Should the sinking fund of any decade produce a sur- plus, it will go to the credit of the next decade. And in the last decade the sinking fund will be remitted or reduced accordingly. It is of course understood that the assent of the Trea- sury to these arrangements presupposes adequate proof of the sufficiency of the Colonial revenues to meet the charges intended to be imposed upon them. 6. The construction of the railway to be conducted by five commissioners, two to be appointed by Canada, one by Nova Scotia, and one by New Brunswick. These four to choose the remaining commissioner. 7. The preliminary surveys to be effected at the ex- pense of the Colonies, by three engineers or other offi- cers nominated, two by 'the commissioners and one by the Home Government. 8. Fitting provision to be made for carriage of troops. 9.

From a letter written by Hon. S. L. Tilley, dated London, 13th Dec. 1862, it appears that while he hoped that Mr. Gladstone might be induced to reconsider the matter of the sinking fund, yet he would not assume the re- sponsibility of perilling or delaying the enterprise by rejecting what the Chancellor of the Exchequer and cabinet might regard as an indispensable condition. The Hon. Joseph Howe also concurred in the objec- tions to the sinking fund, but while he hoped that the Imperial Parliament might be induced “to rely upon the honor and the ample revenues of the Provinces for the prompt payment of the instalments,” yet, if the Imperial Government should refuse to concede this point, he was quite prepared to submit the measure to his colleagues with strong recommendations that it be sanctioned by legislation at the approaching session. The Canadian delegates therefore stood alone in their determination not to yield in the matter of a sinking fund. The Duke of Newcastle, in a despatch to Lord Mo nek, dated 17th January 1863, seems to com- plain of this obstinacy, and to derogate from the full powers vested in them. The letter is as follows : My Lord, — You will no doubt have received fVora Messrs. Howland and Sicotte a copy of a memorandum which they have addressed to me respecting the pro- posed loan for the construction of the Intercolonial Railway. My first impression derived from the lan- guage and general character of that document, was that it amounted to a linal though indirect rejection, on the part of Canada, of the terms offered by Her Majesty’s Government, and thus required no present notice from me. As, however, the act of the Canadian delegates is not necessarily to be taken as that of the Government, and as, therefore, the question will pro- bably be further agitated in the Colony, I have thought it best to inform you generally of the circumstances under which this memorandum was sent to me. The whole question of the loan was very fully can- vassed at this office in repeated interviews between the four delegates and myself; and I was certainly under the impression that, with a single exception, the very numerous objections interposed by iMr. Si- cotte had been successively removed oy explanation or concession. The exception related to the mode of securing repayment of the principal sum borrowed, 48 INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. [1864. B. N. A. but I collected that even on this to^^fbwn might be employed in extinguishing the . debt, or in for Pans where 1 presume they received a copv of the memorandum embodying the *hich Her Maj Gnvpmment were prepared to sanction, J wl.fch the delegates of Nova ‘scotia and New Bruns- wick have sign ilied their readiness to accept. On their L«‘r»«5SS leagues', "and'whicii I had Si led to suppose contained conference the intentions of Her Majesty s Govern- ment I will myself only observe upon them first that the repudiation by Messrs. Sicotte Howland of anv fixed arrangement for securing payment ol the princlpaf borrowed does not appear wholly consistent with t?ie sixth article of their own counter proposal, Zld next, that the British Treasury, in proposing four ner cent, as the rate of interest, can hardly be supposed fo insist on that rate being offered, if it should appear that the money could be obtained at par on more ad- vanta“ eo^ terms. I shall of course wish to be informed wlmttfer the views set forth in the delegates’ paper are accepted by the Canadian Government and whether! am to understand that the offer of her Majesty’s Government is finally rejected. The inquiry contained in the above despatch was answered in effect by the following report of a com- mittee of the Executive Council of Canada: Your Excellency’s advisers concur in the views urg- ed upon the Imperial authorities by Hie Canadian delegates who were lately in England. als 9r°Jj‘ serve bv the papers in their possession, that the Hon Messrs. Howe and Tilley, although consenting as a last resort to accept the conditions proposed by the Lords of the Treasury, fully concurred in the objections enter- tained by this Government and its delegates against the moposed sinking fund. Without entering into further Siscussion of the difference existing between the Im- perial and Colonial proposals, your Excellency s ad- visers consider it due to the delegates from the other Provinces to call attention to their last communi- cation to the Colonial office before leaving England, in which “ the hope is expressed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will re-consider the matter of the sinking fund, and that the Colonies may be enabled to convince the Imperial Government and Par lament that under all the circumstances of this particular case a sinking fund should not be insisted upon, and that the Imperial Authorities may be induced to re 1 }' upon the honor and the ample revenues of the 1 rovinces for the prompt payment of the instalments as they be- come due ” The Committee are of opinion that a more exact survey than any yet made is indispensable, m order to ascertain the proximate cost of the road, be- fore a final decision or legislation can be had on the different proposals of the Imperial and Colonial Gov- ernments. The Hon. Mr. Tilley made known in Lon- don to the Imperial Government and the other dele- gates that he had instructions not to pledge New Brunswick to a greater expenditure for the whole road than three millions and a half, and that if the es- timated amount was to exceed that sum, he would have to submit the whole question again to his Govern- ment. The last Imperial proposal restricted the Im- perial guarantee of interest to a capital of three mil- lions stg. , and even this guarantee was not to be ask- ed of the Imperial Government until the sufficiency of the Colonial revenues to meet the charges to be im- posed upon them was established to the satisfaction of the Treasury, until the route and surveys had been submitted to and approved by the Imperial Govern- ment; and till it could be shown to the satisfaction of Her Majesty’s Government that the whole work could be done without application for any Imperial guarantee over and above that to be given on the three forttTatthe'road wmiM a "' 1 woufdte 'neces.“a"ry with ence would be neces ^e g r Excellency’s advisert and «Ir°rPPd that an appropriation shall be asked from hoTSture Of Canada in the present session, for the legteiaiuie ju survey as is necessary for to 7eani i ice, that the Dike of Newcastle is prepared to annoint an Imperial officer to co-operate with those Provinces 1 for the joint survey.” The report i inc with an expression of confidence that the of Great Britain will crant the proposed guarantee oi interest on t he most fiberal terms, Tn view of the importance of the work as a measure of defence, and a means of extending and securing tlie p.ditical and commercial influence of England over an iininonse territory extending from the Atlantic to the 1’acific. The following letter was addressed by Hon. S. L. Tilley to Sir Frederic Rogers, at the Colonial Office, on the subject of the proposed loan : Provincial, Secretary's Office, Fredericton, N. B., Jan. 5, 1863. Dear Sir,— Just before leaving London I received a copy of the paper you read to me at the Colonial Office on the morning of the 13th December last, as embodying the terms on which the Duke_ of Newcastle and Mr. Gladstone would be prepared to propose to Parliament an Imperial guarantee of the railway Hoan of £3 000,000. In the letter accompanying the mem- orandum, you state that the fourth clause is not altered so as to meet my objections, as Mr. Hamilton thought it* best that I should receive the paper as it stood, and that I could make my observations upon thatsection. A* worded, the provisions of section 4, if embodied in an act of our Legislature, would change the charac- ter of our debentures now outstanding. Such a mear suro could not be sanctioned by the Government or Legislature, and 1 am confident it will not be insisted upon when understood by Mr. Gladstone. The * pro- posed loan must stand as a first charge on Consoli- dated Revenue after tlie Civil List and existing legal liabilities, including principal as well as Dur- ing one of the interviews with which Mr. Howland and I were favored by Mr. Hamilton, it was understood that if the Imperial guarantee was given, the debentures would be issued by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty’s Treasury, and these Commissioners would act as trustees of this loan and the sinking fund. This arrangement is only indirectly reared to ln th^em- orandum transmitted to me on the 13th Dewmoer. You will please obtain the sanction ot the Treasury to an additional section containing this proposal. The following is the minute by tlie Secretary to the Treasury on the two points submitted above. “ With reference to the two questions raised by Mr. Tilley upon the stipulations embodied in thememoran- dum relating to the proposed loan for the construction of an Intercolonial Railway, the Treasury considers that an answer should be sent to the following effect. 1. Her Majesty’s Government never contemplated acquiring a precedence over existing engagements or the Colonial Government, whether for interest or prin- cipal, but the assent of the Treasury to tlie arrange- ment presupposes adequate proof of the sufficiency or the Colonial revenues to meet the charges imposed upon them, which charges would comprise not only the civil list, and the accruing interest of any existing debt, standing in priority to the proposed railway loan, but also any payment of principal standing m the same priority, which may fall due within the pe- riod at the expiration of which the railway loan is required to be fully liquidated, as well as the current interest, and the decennial accumulations for extia ®* tion of the principal of the proposed railway loan.

Present posit idk of the Project — The Canadian Gov- ernment having approved of the course pursued by their delegates, the agreement of September 1862 has been considered at an end. This will appear from the following document recently published : Report of a Committee of the honorable the Execu- tive Council of Canada, approved by the Governor General in Council, on the 29th Sept., 1863. The Committee of the Executive Council having had referred to them the despatch of the 18th September, instant, of his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, transmitting copy of a minute of his Executive Council on the subject of the contem- ! dated survey for an Intercolonial Railway, have the lonor to submit for your Excellency’s consideration the following observations in relation thereto: The Committee find that whilst the Executive Council of New Brunswick advise the appointment of a surveyor to act in conjunction with the surveyor appointed by this Province, to conduct the proposed survey, they would seem to qualify the recommendation by associa- ting with it a hope that, the survey being accomplished, the basis agreed upon by the convention held in Sept. 1862, will be adhered to, if the construction of the rail- way be hereafter found practicable. The Committee learn with pleasure that, so far as the sflrvey is con- cerned, their plans are cordially acquiesced in by the Executive of New Brunswick; and they look forward with satisfaction to the consummation of the import- ant undertaking of which the survey is the prelimi- nary step. In order that there may be no misappre- hension, however, between the Governments of the Provinces having a common interest in this matter, the Committee think it right to call to mind the man- ner in which the negotiations, conducted in London, terminated and the general position in which the question of an Intercolonial Railway at present stands in this Province. The Committee would remind your Excellency that the conditions proposed by the Impe- rial Government, in connection with the assistance to be rendered towards the construction of the railway, differed in some important particulars from the agree- ment of Sept. 1862, and from the instructions which the delegates sent on the part of Canada were charged to carry into effect. The Committee may refer to the distinct refusal, on the part of the Imperial Govern- ment, to regard the contribution which Canada might make to the Intercolonial Railway as being to that ex- tent an expenditure for defensive purposes, to the pro- posed sinking fund, and to the condition set forth in the ninth of the series of propositions presented by the Imperial Government — Parliament not to be asked for this guarantee until the line and surveys shall have been submitted to and approved by Her Majesty's Gov- ernment, and until it shall have been shown to the satisfaction of Her Majesty’s Government, that the line can be constructed without further application for an Imperial guarantee; the Imperial Government thus making the proposed assistance by way of loan contin- gent upon the results of a previous survey establish- ing the sufficiency of a guarantee for the full purposes for which it was to be granted. The delegates were therefore constrained to decline the acceptance of a proposal fettered by conditions so much at variance with their instructions, and their decision received the approval of their colleagues, as being in harmony with the spirit of the agreement arrived at by the Quebec Convention, and in entire conformity with the une- quivocal tone of public opinion in the Province. The negotiations founded upon the understanding entered into by the convention of Sept. 1862, were regarded as terminated with the return of the delegates to this Province, and it was hoped that the report of this Council, of 25th February last, would have sufficed to prevent misconception as to the necessary abandon- ment of the basis upon which the negotiations up to that time had been founded, and to show that any fur- ther action by the Government of this Province must * D be the subject of subsequent consideration. It is fur- ther to be observed, that the carrying out of the agree- ment of Sept. 1862, necessarily depended upon the success of the negotiations with the Imperial Govern- ment, and the assent of the Legislatures of the three Provinces being obtained. These negotiations having failed, and it being manifest that the construction of the railway could not be attempted without Imperial aid— the Canadian Government did not feel that they were in a position to invite any action on the part of the Canadian Legislature beyond making a provision for a preliminary survey — the results of which may lead to further negotiations, and on a different basis from that agreed to hy the convention. In order to promote the construction of a work which the events of each succeeding year invest with greater importance, the Committee addressed themselves to the task of de- vising plans whereby the attainment of the object might be secured in a manner consistent with the in- terests and resources of this Province. They found that the examination of the route, and the satisfactory completion of a survey were also indicated by the Im- perial Government as conditions precedent of any ne- gotiations, and they then informed your Excellency that they had decided upon recommending an appro- priation, by the Legislature of Canada, for the purpose of making such a survey as is necessary to the final de- termination of the several proposals. In conformity with this determination, they have asked an appropri- ation of $10,000 during the present session, and they have also appointed an engineer to proceed with the survey, so soon as the requisite arrangements can be completed. The action of the Legislature has pro- ceeded so far as that it may be regarded as having ren- dered the appropriation a certainty, and the immediate commencement of the survey is therefore dependent only upon the unqualified concurrence of the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The necessity of a prompt decision on the part of the Government of New Brunswick, with a view to an early commencement of the survey, is obvious, inasmuch as the season during which this survey may be most advantageously per- formed, is rapidly passing away. The sum of $10,000 has been voted for the survey. (See Chronicle of Events, Sept. 23rd, 1863.) The argu- ments for and against the execution of the project have now been before the public for many years. The arguments in its favor have already been set forth at length in the various documents cited. We may, "how- ever, add here, that in an address delivered at Halifax some months ago, Hon. Mr. McGee, a warm advocate, not only of the intercolonial railway, but of British American nationality, recapitulated them in part as follows: 1st. The argument from association; 2nd. The commercial argument in favor of intercolonial free trade; 3rd. The immigration argument; 4th. The patriotic argument, drawn from the absolute necessity of cultivating an enthusiastic patriotism ; 5th. The argument of political necessity, arising from the state of our neighbors. On the other hand, it has been strongly urged by an influential portion of the press of Canada, 1st. That the revenue is already two or three millions less than current expenditure, and the expense of this undertaking would vastly swell the deficit; 2nd. That besides the loss of the interest on the capital sunk, the road could not pay the working expenses, thereby entailing a heavy additional loss upon the Province; 3rd. That the road is only neces- sary in winter, and during this season the snow would block it up to such an extent that an enormous outlay would be required to keep it in running order; 4th. That the freight traffic between Canada and the Lower Provinces is not of a description to pay rail- road rates, and would continue to be interchanged al- most exclusively by water as at present; 5th. That judging from past experience in Canada, the construc- tion of such a great work would bring on a repetition 50 CANADA. [1864. B. N. A. of the corruption and jobbery which have already ex- hausted the public purse; 6th. that the Grand Trunk line from Richmond to Riviere du Loup would be forced upon the hands of the Province, and an additional outlay required to maintain this unproductive line; 7th. That as a military road it might easily be rendered useless, inasmuch as running for a considerable dis- tance along the enemy’s frontier, a few squadrons of cavalry could in a few hours render it impassable. Notwithstanding these and other grounds, we be- lieve the general conviction is that the construction of the road is only a question of time, and that its suc- cessful accomplishment will be a source of almost uni- versal gratification. We regret to observe an announcement which has appeared since the above was in type, to the effect that the Lower Provinces have declined to proceed with the survey, in consequence of the Canadian Govern- ment having withdrawn from the agreement of 18G2. We trust that this difficulty may be only temporary.

CANADA. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. Canada, the most populous, wealthy and important of the British possessions in the New World, was discovered in the year 1534 by Jacques Cartier, a navi- gator in the service of the French king. The origin of the name is uncertain, various explanations being given. Some suppose it to be aboriginal, deriving it from a dialect of the Iroquois language, in which a town or village is called Kanathaje. They suppose that Jacques Cartier, who first used the term “Canada,” having heard the natives apply the Iroquois word to their primitive village, Stadacona, mistook it for the name of the country. Others 'would derive the name from the Spanish or Portuguese, by putting together the words, Ca, here, and nada, nothing, supposed to have been uttered by the first explorers when they found no precious metals in the country. In 1534, Jacques Cartier coasted part of Newfound- land, entered the gulf of the St. Lawrence by the strait of Belle Isle, and having taken possession of the country around the Bay of Chaleurs, returned to France. The following year he re-visited America, and ascended the St. Lawrence as far as Quebec, then called Stadacona by the natives. Here ho moored his vessels, resolving to winter in the country. On the 19th September, Cartier, with a small party, ascended as far as the native settlement called Hochelaga, where lie was wel- comed with manifestations of joy. The expedition, as may be imagined, suffered greatly during the long winter, and in spring, Cartier hastily returned to France. It is not within the province of this brief sketch to dwell upon the vicissitudes of the colonists, or to mark the lengthened struggle between civilization and barbarism. A few leading events only can be noticed. Canada continued under tlic rule of the French king, but harassed by wars at home, France was unable to bestow that continuous attention upon the colony wliich its importance deserved. In 1549, Roberval, being allowed to organize another expedition, set out for Canada, but the brave soldier and enterprising explorer was lost during the passage, with all liis followers,— a melancholy accident, which led to the temporary aban- donment of the settlement. In 1603, however, France again had leisure to direct her attention to the New World , and in this year, Champlain, a navigator whose name is honorably connected with Canadian discover- ies, sailed up the St. Lawrence as far as Sault St. Louis. The footing then obtained was not lost till 1628, when a small fleet was equipped in England for the purpose of attacking Quebec and other settlements of New France. On the 29th July of the following year, Que- bec surrendered to Admiral Kertk who commanded the English expedition ; but the colony was restored to France by the treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye, signed three years afterwards. At this time the population was very small. In 1663, when the Sovereign Council was established at Que- bec, the inhabitants of this place did not number a thousand . The mode of colonization was semi-relig- ious. Bands of Jesuit and Recollet missionaries pene- trated the country in all directions, endeavouring to convert the I ndians to the Christian faith. Garrisoned forts were erected at all the prominent points, and the ensuing century w r as chequered by contests with the Indians, especially the Iroquois, a fierce tribe which continually harassed the French, the latter being aided by the less powerful Hurons. The old feudal system of France was established, the seigniories being at first of comparatively small value. As time rolled on the system was found detrimental to the interests of the country, and in 1854 the Legislature made provision for its abolition. Notwithstanding the numerous difficulties and dan- gers that beset the infant colony, it made no incon- siderable progress. The year 1663 was marked by the CANADA, 51 Almanac. 1864.] establishment of n supreme council at Quebec, com- posed of the principal officers of civil government residing in the Province, and other high personages. This council acted as a court of appeal, and also re- gistered edicts and ordinances of the French kings. The province was divided into three districts, — Quebec, Three Rivers and Montreal, in each of which there was a king’s judge, who sat twice a week to hear causes, civil and criminal. Besides these regular courts, there was a very high judicial power vested in the intendants'&nxi. their deputies. The seigniors were also authorized, under certain restrictions, to admin- ister justice within their seigniories. After the appointment of M. de Laval, first bishop of Quebec, serious dissensions broke out between the church and state, which harassed the colony for many years, the contending parties meeting with alternate success. And soon, a new danger from without men- aced the country. In 1690, a squadron of 35 sail, with 2,000 militia men on board, left Boston under the com- mand of Sir Wm. Phipps, and on the morning of the 16th October, the garrison of Quebec was summoned to surrender. The place was bombarded, but without success, and the fleet was finally obliged to retire. Other attempts were subsequently made, but it was not till 1759 that the power of Fiance in the New World sustained a severe shock by the taking of Quebec, under circumstances which are too well known to require repetition. The blow was followed up, and in 1763, the era of French supremacy was ended by the cession of Canada to Britain. Canada continued for some years under military rule. The ancient laws were at first abrogated, but were sub- sequently re-iutroduced, though it has been doubted whether they ever ceased to be in force. The French Canadians were also guaranteed the free cxer‘ cise of their religion, and their clergy remained in the enjoyment of their former rights. The ancient crimi- nal law was, however, superseded by the criminal law of England. Finally the legislative council was established in 1774. The American revolution soon after convulsed the continent, and Canada was again the theatre of con- tending hosts. The American army of invasion advanced without much difficulty over large tracts of the country, but received a check at Quebec, where Montgomery fell. For some years the government was unsettled, but in 1791 the province was divided into two, Upper and Lower, and representative government introduced, an event which, though far from satisfying flic French Canadian party, was, nevertheless, a step in that direc- tion. This party seemed strongly impressed with the belief that the destiny of Canada depended on the main- tenance of their religion, language and laws — a belief which did much to embitter the contests of political parties, and intensify the rivalry between races. In 1812, Canada was again disturbed by the war between Great Britain and the United States, but at its close the colony still remained in close connection with the mother country. In 1822, the first project for re-uniting the Canadas was started. Attempts were made to render the advisers of the governors responsible to the popular branch of the Legislature. For some time theso efforts were unsuccessful, and the fierceness of the struggle greatly excited the colony. In 1837, the agitation was fanned into open violence, and several conflicts ensued be- tween t he insurgents and royalists. Bu t the years 1840 and 1841 restored tranquillity, the two Canadas being re-united in 1840, by an Imperial Act, under one ad- ministration, and responsible government being defi- nitively established in 1841. There is now a legisla- tive council, to which the elective principle haslbeen applied; a legislative assembly composed of 130 mem- bers, 65 from each section of the province, a cabinet responsible to the legislature, and a governor general, appointed by the Queen, but paid by the colony. The parliament buildings in Montreal being burned by a mob in 1849, the sessions of the legislature have since been held for four years alternately in Toronto and Quebec. Ottawa was some years ago selected by the Queen as the capital, and as soon as the parliament buildings, now in course of erection there, are com- pleted, the sessions of the legislature will be held in that city. The following are the cabinets which have existed since the union, and the dates of their forma- tion : — Ogden— Sullivan Feb. 13,1841.

The names of the mem- bers elected appear elsewhere. The ministry was at the same time re-constructed, Hon. J. S. Macdonald still bcingPremier, and Hon. A. A. Dorion being associated with him as Attorney General for Canada East. In Sept. 1863, Hon. Mr. Sicotte was elevated to the Bench. GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. The Province of Canada extends in an easterly direc- tion from near the Red River settlement to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and from Michigan to New Bruns- wick. It extends northward from the Canadian lakes and the St. Lawrence to the high ridge of land which separates the rivers of Canada from those of the Hud- son-Bay section of the Hudson-Bay Territory. It is bounded N. by the Hudson-Bay Territory ; E. by the Gulf of St. Lawrence; S. by the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York, and Lakes Erie and Ontario; and W. by Lakes St. Clair, Huron and Superior, and the North-West Indian territories. The area is 390,000 square miles, of which 210,000 are included in Canada East, and 180,000 in Canada West. By the census of 1861, the population of Canada East was 1,110,664; Canada West, 1,396,091. The principal rivers arc the St. Lawrence, which drains an area of 565,000 square miles; the Ottawa, 450 miles long, which forms a central boundary between the two sections of the Province; the St. Maurice, nearly 400 miles in length; the Saguenay, 100 miles long, noted for its fine scenery; the Richelieu, the Nia- gara, and others. Upper Canada has for its southern 52 legislative council. [ 1864 . B. N. A . and western boundaries «« frent ^^S.pCTter, Huron and Georgian Bay, St.Clair, bn , ’ of which the total length is 1,085 miles, and area 80,000 "miles. In some parts of the Prorince ^pecia y in the Eastern Townships, the scenery is extn mely picturesque. In Upper Canada the surface 18 und " ,a ' tinn- rather than mountainous. A main water she separates the waters of the St. Lawrence from those of the Ottawa. (For further details of geographical info - mation which hardly come within the scope of "the reader is referred to Lovell’s General Geo- g The y commercial importance of the r-ovince is al- ready well established. Every cflort to develop s resources and to extend its trade has been attc "dedhy tt ?0 most satisfactory results. The system o inland navigation is the most extensive and perfect in ti c world; and in the event of a confederation of the British colonics on this continent, and the completion of a grand line of railway communication Horn the Atlantic to the Pacific, Canada would occupy a ccn tral and commanding position, the importance and influence of which can hardly be exaggerated The financial statements show a considerable annual defi- cit for several years back, but this is an embarrass- ment which the present Government have undertaken to remove, by greater economy on the one hand, and 1 adequate system of taxation on the other. The fine climate and fertile soil which Canada possesses are beginning to be properly appreciated abroad The o d idea which is said to have been prevalent, that tins Province was a desolate and chilly place, the almost exclusive abode of the lumberman and fur-trader, is now it may safely be presumed, entertained by few intelligent persons in the mother country. If any im- pressions of this kind still exist, it is hoped that the circulation of this work, and the diffusion of the statis- tical information contained in it, may not be wholly ineffectual in removing them. “ It is quite unneces- sary ” said Hon. Mr. Evanturel, ex-minister of Agri- culture and Statistics, “to dwell at any length upon “the great value of a systematic collection of facts in “ figures, or statistics, in tho administration of the “affairs of the Stale, for the furtherance of political “ science, and for the general information of the couu- “try. Its importance is now universally aeknow- “ lodged ; and it is certainly a matter for much regret “ that in the collection and analysis of statistical “ information, Canada, at the present moment, stands « f ar behind most civilized countries.” THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.

The following is extracted from the report Minister of Finance, submitted April 6, lood. The total expenditure of the * year 1862, including payments on account of redemption of public debt, amounted to The total receipts 10,629,^04 Excess of payments over gross receipts. . . This difference has been met by changes in the cash balances and bankers ac- counts. ii From the gross expenditure Deduct the amount of deben- tures redeemed $2*9,600 And debentures charged as re- deemed in 1861, but paid in 1862 Wm of the 776,719 395,923 424,242 Making the net expenditure. . . 10,9*1,681 On the other side, deducting the debentures is- sued 82, 220, 760 And investments reali2td 2,422,058 The net receipts are reduced to Exhibiting as the actual deficiency $2,i64,5rfb To bring out this result, the undersigned has pro- ceeded upon a principle different from tnat which has ordinarily governed the official statement of the finan- cial position of the Province at the close of each year. Adopting the accounts for 1861 as an example, it may be remarked that, had the balance sheet tor that year been constructed on the basis accepted by the under- signed, it would have stood as follows : Total expenditure •••“•• * * 814, <42,834 Less debentures redeemed. . . .$2,738,872 And less sum paid on account of redemption for previous vpar 179,945 year I 2,918,817 Total receipts 12,655,581 Less debentures is- sued and stock subscribed $2,756,305 Less amount unpaid on acct. of deben- tures redeemed.. . . 145,521 Investments rea- lized 901,049 3,802,876 11,824,017 8,852,705 Actual deficiency in 1861 $2,971,311 It will be seen that the undersigned has proceeded on the assumption that, from one source or another, the Province should, year alter year, meet its expen- diture, whatever that is ; the only allowable exceptions being expenditure incurred in the construction of im- portant public works, permanent, and, it may be, remu- nerative in their character, and payments on account of engagements already contracted, and standing in the shape of actual debt. He has consequently ab- stained from making several deductions which it lias been usual to make in the statement of the yearly defi- ciency. He has preferred to stale it as it really is, that the Province may understand the full extent of the demand upon its resources which it may properly be called to meet. Thus, from the gross expenditure and receipts he has taken the redemption of debt and the issue of debentures, and also such receipts and repayments as were on account of redemption, which, had they come into the same year, would not have appeared at all. He has further'deducted investments realized, which may be generally characterized as in tact equivalent only to a transfer from one banking to another The result he calls the net expen- ditTe and rte net receipts the difference between which forms the actual deficit of the year, which we must provide for either by borrowing or by increasing the revenue. The borrowing process baa unfortunately been employed too generally and too long, encourag- ing unnecessary expenditure, and relieving the com- munity from the burdens which it should he made to bear as the consequence of its own acts. The time has come when another method must ot necessity be pursued . Instead of taxing our credit, and so trans- ferring burdens from ourselves to posterity, it is desi- rable that we should now tax our available resources to an extent indicated by the deficiency ; and the first step towards the change is to present the true result of the year's financial transactions, that the entire deficiency may be known. . . . , Referring to the items composing the pnncipal sources from which the ordinary income of the Pro- vince is derived, the undersigned may remark, that although the receipts from customs duties have not quite realized the expectations he entertained in May last, it is satisfactory to know that the changes then made in the tariff led to a large increase m the revenue during the latter half of the year. In the first halt there was a deficiency, as compared with the receipts in the corresponding period of 1861, amounting to $439 724, whilst the increase in the second half amount- ed to $317,345, showing a falling off in the receipts of the year of only $122,379. The excise revenue exhibits an increase in the year of $155,648, the receipts of the first six months amounting to $188,604, or an in- crease of $39,112; and during the second six months to $311,708, or an increase of $116,476. The latter in- crease was not proportionate to the augmentation of duties under the legislation of the last session ; a cir- cumstance which may be explained by referenceto the fact that, the intention to levy higher duties was known considerably in advance of the legislative action, and that the manufacturers interested were therefore stim- ulated to produce largely prior to the imposition of the new duties. The item of ocean postage exhibits a diminution which may seem remarkable without a word in explanation. The receipts from this source were only $17,274 in 1862; a decrease which is mainly attributable to the non-payment by the Government of the United States of the sums due the Province, for postal services rendered within the year. The differ- ence should, perhaps, be set down as a payment deter- rotlinr fliOYl Oil aA+.USll OflT. 1 red, rather than an actual falling off. Apart from this item, the Post Office receipts advanced fre i m j n L • i A 07 T >1 item, tne I'osi vmice ructjjpus nubru from $357,015 to $391,443, being an increase of $34,427- Public Works again yielded $305,658, which, as compared with the receipts in 1861, shows an increase of $37,573; the sums stated being exclusive of tolls refunded, amounting m 1862 to $78,046. The Territorial Revenue declined from $678,922, in 1861, to $629,886 in 1862. Turning to the expenditure side of the account, the inability of Government to effect sndden and very large reductions becomes apparent. Over the greater proportion of the expenditure, Ministers exercise little or no control. Speaking roundly, more than one half of the whole is in fulfilment of obligations already incurred. Other large amounts are expended in pursuance of engagements which cannot be sum- marily terminated. And yet another large expend- iture takes place under annual grants of the Legisla- ture, to which the Government of the day simply gives effect. Time, and the substitution of a more whole- some system of financial management, are required to bring about marked reductions in these branches ot the expenditure. What may justly be classed as Administrative ex- penses, amounted in 1862 to $2,079,278, to which, per- haps, should be added $1,326,732, expended under the head of Collections. The charges against Civil Govern- ment advanced from $437,285, in 1861, to $486,620, m 1862. But the increase is susceptible of ready explan- ation. The operation of the Civil Service Act en- tailed an increase in the shape of arrears and additions to salaries exceeding $21,000; very large amounts were paid at the commencement of the year for contingencies; and there are charges amounting to $10,943, which formerly appeared under other heads- Almanac. 1864.] FINANCES OF CANADA 57 The Penitentiary and Prison expenses show an in- crease from $148,046 to $165,612 ; but of the latter sum, about $10,000 aro chargeable to the Reformatory at Penetanguishene, which, though established in 1861, did not come into full operation until 1862 Reverting to the statement of the net expenditure and incoihe, it is the duty of the undersigned to ex- plain that the actual deficiency of the year was met as follows: Debentures issued $1,796,517 Investment realized 201,299 Changes in cash and bankers’ balances 766,719 _ . . $2,764,535 The amount which is shewn to be due the London Agents of the Province, ($2,254,258) was increased to the extent of $876,000, by the payment on their part, in 1862, of that amount, which was borrowed in 1861, from the City Bank of London. Of the debentures issued, the sum of $773,900 was in Exchequer bills, negotiated in the Province; and $1,446,860 were Sterling debentures, issued in England. The addition to the funded debt during the year, amounted to $1,940,929, and to the net debt, after deducting sinking lund, to $1,773,954. The former now amounts to $67,567,407, and the net debt, after the de- duction indicated, to $59,946,973. The Report of the Board of Audit shows that from 1856 to 1862, inclusive, the increase in the funded debt was $21,712,190. Within the same term, the in- crease to the net funded debt was $16,703,810, being an average yearly increase to the latter of $2,387,258. It will be seen, therefore, that the addition to the fund- ed debt in 1862, was much less (viz., $1,773,954,) than the. average yearly addition during the period over which the comparison extends. The continuance of the civil war in the United States, with which Canada has such intimate and extended commercial relations, has necessarily operated pre- judicially upon our finances during the year to which this report refers. A diminished demand for our staple products has produced a corresponding check upon the purchasing power of our people, and a cor- responding loss to the principal sources of our revenue. These tendencies have heen widened and strengthened by the derangement in the currency of our neigh- bors, creating, as it has done, irregularity and uncer- tainty in the various branches of industry and com- merce, and bringing certain of them within very nar- row compass. So long as these disturbing influences exist, we cannot anticipate an increase of our reve- nues to the extent which, under more auspicious cir- cumstances, we might confidently expect. Notwithstanding these unfavorable causes, however, the undersigned sees nothing in the general monetary and business position of the Province to warrant mis- givings or despondency as to its future. The trade of the year has been contracted ; but that is all. No crisis has occurred to jeopardize its progress. Although limited, it lias been conducted on a sound basis, and is now in a healthy condition. The undersigned feels no apprehension, therefore, with regard to the willingness or the power of the Province to sustain just and well- considered measures for preserving public credit unim- paired, and for adjusting its income and expenditure on the only basis which is compatible with economy in administration, and lasting prosperity in public af- Extractsfrom the Report of the Board of Audit, referred to above. there appears no longer any reason why the two should be kept separate. This was, in fact, the course which was pursued when the Indian fund came under the con- trol of the Provincial Government, the Province assum- ingthe responsibility of all the former investments and holding them for the Consolidated fund ; and the same reasons apply with still greater force to the other Trust funds, which have always been managed, and the investments made, by the Provincial authorities. The amount for which we have become thus liable to the ordinary Trust funds, in 1862, has been $8,100. There has been a further redemption of Lake St. Peter debentures during the past year, to the extent of $54,600, which has been treated, like the previous pay- ments, as an advance to the Harbor Commissioners, there being no Legislative authority for the assumption of the debt. It is, however, well understood that Par- liament did in effect sanction the arrangement made with the Commissioners ; and we would respectfully submit, that provision should be made for carrying it out in the estimates of the current year. We have added to the Public Accounts a statement intended to embrace similar payments, which have been made without direct authority of the Legislature. The ordinary statement of unprovided items has not been interfered with, as they are annually submitted to Parliament, and a vote is taken in the estimates to make good the expenditure. But besides these, there are often sums advanced, which it is not intended to provide for by a subsequent vote charging them to Consolidated fund ; but which have to be re-paid here- after by the parties to whom the advance was made. It appears desirable that all payments of this character should be submitted in one view, instead of being scat- tered under different heads in the general details of expenditure. This statement will embrace all loans, whether they are only temporary, and to be re-paid, or whether they are in the nature of investments in securities, or of advances made to Trust funds beyond the amount at their credit, to be covered hereafter by the revenues of the fund. We had expected to have been able to have closed the account of the Seigniorial fund, and to have made all those alterations in the Municipal Loan funds, East and West, and in the U. C. Building fund, which would be consequent upon the final settlement of that account; but we are not as yet in possession of the necessary data, and in the meantime this fund has been treated as formerly. t We have thought that in the present financial posi- tion of the Province, it might be satisfactory to submit a comparative view of the increase of the debt for some years back. Such large additions to it were made from 1852 to 1855, for Railway enterprises and the Municipal Loan funds, that, for the purpose of comparison, it ap- pears to us that it will be more useful to confine our- selves to the years subsequent to the latter date, which alone are included in the following tables. Some diffi- culty presents itself as to the mode of representing the true indebtedness of the country, and we have, there- fore, given it in three different forms. I. Statement of the funded debt, embracing all de- bentures, whether chargeable against the Province directly, or against any fund under the Provincial control : Funded debt. 1855 $45,855,217 I 1859 $54,142,044 1856 48,757,619 | 1860 65,592,469 1857 52,334,911 I 1861 65,626.478 1858 54,892,405 | 1862 67,567,407 The Public Accounts for the year 1862 present few important features which call for remark, excepting the falling off in almost every branch of the revenue, a result which had been anticipated from the general disturbance of all commercial relations on the North American continent. The interest upon some of the securities held in the Trust Fund Investment account, has fallen into arrears ; and as itU considered that the funds, on behalf of which the securities were taken, should not be the sufferers, we have j een instructed to give th6m credit for the whole interest accrued, and to open accounts against the defaulters for the deficiency. The principle thus established, which appears to be only just, places the Trust Fund Investment account upon the same footing as the Consolidated Fund Investment account; and Aggregate increase 21,712,190 Average annual increase 3,101,741 II.

B. N. A present means of meeting it. The unfunded debt ,, and the available assets, must also be . U^v PvUt as to ation; and, as differences of on eHhS the items which should properly be mc^donenh^ side of the account, we desire to explain the P ri °cipies \inon which we have prepared the third comparativ e table.— We have included amongst our 1 ^of Th^Pro-* tiling which appears as .!“ c ^. ll J s w^have excluded SoSdS fund P wS s^ e on'thaTs!de of the balance sheet, and all other a “«“"»f ‘Jj ac- other party than the Province is interested , sjicn ac counts being in fact branches of the Consolidated fund, Sh for special reasons arc kept under separate heads. 2nd. We have excluded any account hv whhl we appear to be debtors to any party, when there is a larger amount at the debit of the same P ^ & winch we are authorized to set it off. 3id. We nave excluded two of the Trust funds. The S fund differs from all other ^ funds, inasmuch as theie no expenditure chargeable against it, it is, in tact, onlv a branch of the Consolidated fund, and the only obiect in keeping it separate as a constantly aecumulat- inTfund (o? the policy of which we, entertain great defubts) is as a sort of pledge to posterity, that we wi never spend less than the Merest whilst we always have expended for eight times as much as its income can ^ v er a m o un p to. The Seigniorial fund, as it is called, has been omitted, partly because it is more in the nature ^ non, and partly because it was treated differently m different years of the period under consideration , but principally because the fund, as it stands in i the books only very partially represents the liabih^ of the Pro- vince in this respect, from the legislation of 18o4 and 1859. Had we treated it as a Trust lund, it would have .appeared as if our liability had beon annually dimin- ishing, and had now nearly ceased, from the exhaus- tion of the fund, whereas it remains exactly what t was at the passing of the Seigniorial acts. The gi adual increase of the debt has arisen from the excess of ex- penditure over income, amongst w'h ^h expen aiture that for the Seigniorial tenure is included ; and it will continue henceforward a permanent charge, not pro- bably much less than the average annual expenditure on that account since 1855. The compensation tor the Seigniorial tenure has not therefore sens lb 1 y affec ted the increase of our liabilities since 1855, but it does materially add to the permanent annual expenditure to which we became virtually liable in 1854, and which was confirmed by the Act of 1859. This annual expen- diture, to which we are pledged, m ay Jbe estimatea to represent a capital of not less than $4,000,000, by which our net liabilities in all these years should be increased. Amongst the assets we have included the cash and banking accounts, and amounts due to us, which we may make a set-off against amounts included in tlie liabilities as due by us to the same parties. As to other assets which appear as such in the books, it would not be proper for us to pronounce an opinion as to which we may expect to realize, and w hich may be looked upon as bad debts; we have therefore, only included the Sinking funds, and the Trust fund, and Conso- lidated fund investment accounts — on account of which we hold securities. These we have assumed to be all available; and if the failure to pay interest, above alluded to, may throw a doubt upon some of the investments, there are, on the other hand, unsecured debts due to us wliich.will certainly be available, but which are left out of the account. Upon the whole, we believe the amount of available assets to be some- what understated. If in the year 1862 there were in- vestments which yielded no interest (in some cases certainly only temporarily) to the amount of $391,333, there were also unsecured debts in the same year to the amount of $767,227, having permanent receipts connected with them under our control from wdiich we received, besides full interest on the debt, $98,393 in reduction of the principal. These are, therefore, solvent debtors, and more than equivalent to the in- vestments of a doubtful character. III. Statement of liabilities and available assets: Liabilities. Assets. Net Liabilities.

Issued on acc't of Municipal Loan fund C.C.fl,374,133 ao. LL. 1,000,115 Less— Repaid by Great Western R.R. $2,969,248 $2,032,415 Expenditure on account of Public Works of a permanent character $5,980,740 Leaving $14,422,558, or an average annual increase of indebtedness of $2,060,365, which appears to represent the excess of ordinary expenditure over ordinary in- come. We have not included m the above deductions from the gross increase, the expenditure on account of the redemption of the Seigniorial tenure, amounting in all to $1,629,057, or averaging $232,^ per annum; because, although tlie Act of 1854 authorized capital to about tli at amount to be raised by the issue ol deben- tures, subsequent legislation has entailed upon the Province a permanent annual expenditure of nearly equal amount. Assuming the increase of our liability since 1855 to be as above stated, it is important to observe that the annual interest payable has not increased in the same ratio. The interest at the two periods was as follows: 1855- lbv^i Payable on Funded debt $2,575,120 $3,504,727 Paid on Unfunded debt 4,296 2&W& Payable to Trust funds • do,3»» $2,579,416 $3,798,893 103,402 394,745 Received on investments and deposits Net interest $2,476,013 $3,404,148 The difference, $928,135, at 5 per cent., only represents an increase of debt of $18,562,701, and as we have only given credit for the interest actually received, this fatter estimate is independent of the doubtful charac- ter of some of the investments.

B. N. A. COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION— CANADA. The total value of the imports in 1862 was $48, 600,633, being an increase of $5,545,797 over the value in 1861. The value of dutiable poods in 1862 was $23,971,370, bein" a decrease of $1,123,378 from the value in 1861. The customs receipts in 1862 were $4,652,748, being $115,444 less tlian in 1861. The falling off, which oc- curred chiefly during the first six months of 1862, was attributed by the Finance Minister to the continuance of the civil war in the United States, and more espe- cia'ly to the apprehensions excited by the “Trent ” affair. The increased value of the total imports m 1862 was, therefore, altogether due to the importation of free goods, of which the value in 1862 was $24,624,- 263. being an increase of $6,664,175 over the value in 1861. Of this increase, $2,130,054 was due to imports of naval and militarv stores, and clothing; $679,105 to unmanufactured tobacco, and $2,886,571 to the in- creased importation of cereals. The duty collected on spirits and malt liquors in 1862 was $480,848, an increase of $194,901 over that collected the preceding year. The value of exports in 1862 was $33,596,125, a de- crease of $3,018,070, compared with 1861. This falling off was owing to the deficiency of the harvest in 1862, the decrease in exports of wheat alone being $2,119,- 519, and in flour $770,581. The movement of property on the Welland and the St. Lawrence canals shows a steady increase. The movement on the Welland canal increased in 1861 by 7 1 per cent, over 1860; and in 1862 by 15 per cent, over 1861. On the St. Lawrence canals, the movement of tonnage increased in 1861 bv 22 percent, over 1860, and in 1862 bv 6 per cent, over 1861. Hon. W. 1*. Howland, the lute Minister of Finance, in his report for 1862, ad- duced comparative tables of the movements of pro- duce to show that in proportion to the greatly in- creased production of cereals in the Western States, and to the whole volume of agricultural produce moved from Lakes Erie and Michigan to tide water, Canada had not obtained so large a traffic since the removal of the canal tolls, as prior to the adoption of that meas- ure. His report concluded with the following words: “Whatever else may be urged in favor of free canals, it certainly cannot be said that the policy of 1860 has been productive of benefit, either to the pro- ducer or consumer of Western breadstuff’s; and from the advance which has taken place in the freights by the St. Lawrence route, as well as in both tolls and freight, by the competing route to tide water at Albany, it is abundantly manifest that the forwarder can pav a moderate toll without unduly trenching upon his profits. It can be shown from reliable data that in so far as the actual cost of transport (including therein the canal tolls recently imposed) is concerned, western produce can be carried to tide water much cheaper by the St. Lawrence than by any competing route; and we must trace our failure to obtain for our canals a greater proportion of the western trade, to other causes than the charges heretofore imposed for the use of those works. I am persuaded that the chief cause of that failure lies in the absence of sufficient competition among forwarders engaged in the St. Lawrence trade, in the financial relations between shippers engaged in the western trade and the capitalists of New York, and finally and chiefly in the lower rates of ocean freights from New York to Europe, occasioned by the greater competition at that port than is to be found at Quebec or Montreal. It is gratifying to know that the Cana- dian forwarder has been able to obtain the advanced rates above quoted, but we cannot find therein a jus- tification of that policy which, in addition to other ad- vantages, would give him the free use of costly works which complete the grandest system of inland navi- gation in the world, and have not been constructed without imposing heavy burthens on the country. If it could be shown that the tolls remitted had gone in mitigation of the comparatively high rate of ocean freight to which our trade is subject, We might find in that fact some reason for making our canals absolutely free. But it has been shown that this has not been the result. The tolls have gone to enhance the profits of the forwarder whose freight tariff has been regulated, not by the cost of doing his work, but by the com- petition with which ho has had to contend. There is but one course open for securing that quota of the western trade which the advantages of the St. Law* rence route gives us reason to anticipate. If we can give to the owners of the largest vessels now profi- ts blv engaged in the trade of Lake Michigan, the op- tion of trading to Kingston and the St. Lawrence or to Buffalo, as may bo found most profitable, wc shall have thrown down the barrier which now forces the main current of trade into the Erie canal. We shall have more than balanced the greater insurance and freights charged from our sea ports to Europe over the corresponding charges from New York, and we may thereafter expect Quebec and Montreal to take rank amongst the greatest grain marts of this conti- nent." The canal tolls were subsequently (in 1863) re-im- posed. IMPORTS.

Orowh Surreys . — The cost of these surveys, including exploration of roads, for the last 5 years was as follows : L.C. U.C. 1858 $35.066 $45,778. 1859 22,693 58,115 1860 30,880 56,580 1861 41,969 75,444 1862 47,609 71,982 $178,218 $307,901 The whole quantity of land sold during 1862 was less by 252,471 acres than that sold in 1861. The falling off was attributed by the Commissioner partly to the de- rangements occasioned by the American civil war, and partly to the fact that the best Crown Lands, in both sections of the Province, have already been sold. The new surveys in U. C. have added during the last 5 years 2,808,172 acres to the land roll of the department, and in L. C. 1,968,168 acres, yet it is considered doubtful whether there are now as many acres of wild land of the first quality at the disposal of the de- partment as there were in 1857. The Clergy, School, and Crown Lands of the Western peninsula — the most desirable as to quality and situation— have been nearly all sold, and the few lots remaining are generally of inferior quality. “The new townships between the Ottawa and Lake Huron,” says the report of the Com- missioner, “contain much good land, but thev are separated from the settled townships on the St. Law- rence and North shore of Lake Ontario, bv a rocky, barren tract, which varies in width from 10 to 20 miles, and presents a serious obstruction to the influx of set- tlers. Moreover, the good land in these new townships is composed of small tracts, here and there, separated from each other by rockv ridges, swamps, and lakes, which render difficult the construction of roads, and interrupt the continuity of settlement. These unfavor- able circumstances have induced the better class of settlers in Upper Canada to seek, at the hands of pri- vate owners, for lands of a better quality and more desirable location, though the price and terms of sale are more onerous than for the lands of the Crown.” The quantity of land sold in L. C. during 1862, was more than double that disposed of in U. C. The discov- ery of copper and other minerals in the Eastern town- ships caused a considerable influx of population in that direction, aud a corresponding increase in the demand for unsold public lands. The new surveys on the Southern slope of the high lands, bordering the St. Lawrence between Quebec and Montreal, developed a considerable quantity of good land, which is rapidly being taken up. Under the authority of an Order in Council of 12th Sept. 1862, hon. Win. McDougall, Commissioner of Crown Lands, proceeded to the Island of Manitoulin, in Lake Huron, and concluded a treaty with the In- dians residing there for the surrender of their claims to that portion of the island westerly of Manitoulin gulf and Hey wood sound. An exploratory survey was subsequently made by Mr. Dennis. From the report of this gentleman it appears that the growth of timber throughout, except where the flat rock approaches the surface, is magnificent. The groves of maple in some of the sugar bushes, especially around the larger lakes, surpassed anything of the kind the surveyor had pre- viously seen. The soil is generally a sandy or gravelly loam, underlaid with clay. It is very fertile and well suited for the growth of wheat. The total number of acres cleared and partly under cultivation by the In- dians on the portion ceded was 2,450. The portion of the island ceded, best suited for settlement, is the cen- tral and wide part extending westerly from Manitou* awning to Lake Wolsey. The .1 fac/dalen Islands, situated in the gulf of St. Lawrence, are within 50 miles from Prince Edward Island, and 85 from the Island of Anticosti. The highest land is about 170 feet above the sea; some parts of the rocky margins are about 600 feet in height. These Islands were granted in 1798 to Admi- ral .Sir Isaac Coffin, and are entailed to his descendants, who lease them for a nominal sum for fishing and farming purposes. In 1763 their population numbered only about ten families; in 1798 the population was about 500, chiefly Acadian French ; in 1830 about 1,000, and in 1861 the islands contained about 2,659 persons. In 1861 they produced 8,531 bushels oats; 4,196 barley; 1,262 wheat; and 21,637 bushels potatoes; 2,731 tons hay; the stock was valued at $48,849. The fisheries gave employment to 38 schooners, 232 boats, and 574 nets. The exports in 1851 were valued at $19,564; in 1856, $82,952; in 1857, $153.0-2; and in 1860, $270,000. The imports in the same years were valued at $5,684; $34,212; $41,880; and $45,200 respectively. The amount of duties collected in 1860 was $6,070. In 1854, 104 ves- sels entered at the ports of these islands; in 1860, 250 vessels — total tonnage 10,000 tons — manned by 1373 men. Their trade is principally with the Lower Provinces. 80 PUBLIC WORKS — CANADA. [1864. B. N. A. PUBLIC WORKS — CANADA. Inland Navigation .— Canada is famous for her noble rivers, her great lakes and vast .system of canals. The waters of the St. Lawrence, flowing for more than 600 miles entirely within the Province, drain an extent of territory larger than France; and the great lakes, of which this liver forms the natural outlet to the ocean, exceed in superficies the area of Great Britain, and comprehend more than half the fresh water of the globe. The coast line of these lakes and the St. Law- rence measures 5,600 miles; about one half of which is American, (fronting upon 8 of the Northern States of the Union) and the other half Canadian territory. Upwards of fourteen millions of dollars were expended in opening this channel to the navigation of vessels of 400 tons burden. It was expected that by this means the commercial advantages of this route to the ocean would be made so great as to draw through it the Western trade; and that the tolls to be collected on this trade would not only pay the interest upon the cost of the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals, but also prove a source of permanent revenue to the Province; and that, as trade increased, the large amount of the tolls would admit of a gradual reduction in customs duties. Before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, the trade of the country bordering upon the river and upper lakes found its way to the ocean by Montreal and Quebec; but upon the opening of that canal the Western produce was at once diverted to the other side of the boundary line, and taken to New York; and, notwithstanding the heavy expense incurred by Canada in the construction of canals with the object of providing a cheaper and more direct channel, and thus obtaining a larger share of the Western trade, her efforts have been less successful than was antici- pated. In 1861, the bulk of property transported both ways upon the Erie Canal amounted to 4,507, 635 tons, of the value of $130,000,00.0, and yielding to the State in tolls, a revenue of nearly $4,000,000. The bulk of property transported both ways by the St. Lawrence route amounted, in 1861, to 1,020,483 tons for the Wel- land, and 886,908 through the St. Lawrence, and had the usual tolls of former years been imposed, the rev- enue would have amounted to $392,289, only a little over one-tenth of that collected upon the Erie Canal. With the view of regaining the Western trade, the government, by an order in council, dated 28th May I860, but taking effect the 19th May, abolished the tolls on the Provincial canals, under certain regulations, viz.: that vessels passing through the Welland Canal should continue to pay tolls according to existing tariffs, but that 90 per cent, of the tolls so paid should be refunded whenever such vessel entered the St. Law- rence Canal, or reported inward at any Canadian port on Lake Ontario or on the river St.. Lawrence; and vice versa — vessels and their cargoes coming up through the St. Lawrence Canals, or hailing from any Canadian port, and passing upwards through the Welland Canal, paid only 10 per cent, of the toll established on that canal. The St. Lawrence Canals were made unconditionally free from tolls: it was thought that this policy would have the effect of diverting through Canada a much larger share of the Western trade, and that the increase of revenue from custom duties, and other incidental advantages derived from this trade, would more than compensate for the loss of revenue from tolls, which was then estimated at not more than $115,000. This expedient was tried for three years, and in the report of the com- missioner of public works for 1862, (from which the above statements are derived), it is inferred, from com- parative tables of tonnage before and since the change, that it has proved ineffectual. The most remarkable increase was found in the business of the Erie Canal on which tolls were still collected. In 1862, it had ^ a 1 C o O e n 1 J l i e ,? n0r , m0UR amount of 5,598,785 tons, and $0,188,943 tolls; shewing an increase of 32 per cent on tonnage, and 56 per cent, on tolls, over the maximum of the former period. On the other hand, the business on the Provincial Canals in the third year of trial had actually fallen off on the St. Lawrence. The attempt to divert trade by reducing tolls, had therefore, in the opinion of the commissioner, proved unsuccessful, and it was a matter for consideration whether it was expe- dient any longer to tax the Province for the benefit of this trade, or whether that portion of it which took this channel, and must continue to increase with the growth and population of the country, should not be rendered immediately productive by the re-imposition of tolls. It was represented that the revenue which would be derived from the re-imposition of tolls would suffice in the course of a few years to make some of the most important improvements in the navigation which had been in contemplation for many years past, and had only been postponed from financial considerations. Amongst the most essential of these improvements was the enlargement of the locks, and the deepening of the channel of the $t. Lawrence Canals. While the locks of the Welland Canal were smaller than those of the St. Lawrence, and could not, therefore pass vessels of half the tonnage capacity of the latter, the diaught of water through the Welland was one foot greater than through the St. Lawrence, and, consequently vessels which could pass through the former drawing 10 feet of water, and laden with 400 tons freight, actu- ally could not descend the 8t. Lawrence without being lightened one foot equivalent to about 100 tons cargo. This anomaly had produced such a serious drawback as frequently to induce transhipment at Kingston. This transshipment, it was said, could only be obviated by establishing a uniform scale of navigation, the im- mediate adoption of which was urgently demanded by the rapid increase of the Western trade. The entrances to the Williamsburg and Cornwall Canals, especially, did not afford a sufficient volume of water for their satisfactory working. The chief engineer in 1859 esti- mated the cost of deepening the St. Lawrence Canals to lOj feet of water at $1,028,000, an estimate which did not include the lengthening of the locks. We may add here that the government have been induced by the considerations adverted to above, and especially in view of the deficit in the revenue, to re-impose the canal tolls. Welland Canal .— The banks of this canal have been raised and strengthened, to maintain them in a con- dition of safety for the passage of deeply laden vessels; but in consequence of the continual wearing away of these banks from rains, and the heavy traffic on them, a certain amount of expenditure is requisite every year to preserve them in a safe condition. The navigation of this canal in 1862, opened loth April, and closed 15th December. The number of sailing vessels and steamers which passed through the canal during the last nine years was, in 1854, 3,690; 1855,3,816; 1856, 3,885; 1857,3,604; 1858,3,726; 1859,2,589; 1860, 3,744; 1861,4,315; 1862,4,899. Williamsburg Canals . — These canals are constructed chiefly by cutting off points of the River St. Lawrence along its north snore, and enclosing large bays at the mouths of creeks and streams, and the embankments by which this was effected, are exposed to the action of the rapid current outside; and from the great width of included water surface at many places, they have suffered from the surf raised by high winds. The inner face of the embankments having been left unpro- tected, it was found necessary in order to prevent serious damage to them from the causes described, as well as from the surge of steamers passing through the canals, to line their inner face w'itn stone, and also to raise them and protect the most exposed portions on the side next the river. The navigation in 1862 was open from 29th April to 4th Dec. Rideau Canal . — With the exception of about4 miles at the lower outlet, the line of this canal follows the old bed of the Rideau for nearly the whole distance between Ottawa and the summit level. The sudden thaw which took place in April 1862 caused great damage to the works. The cost of repairs and main- tenance for 1862 exceeded $60,000. Lake St. Peter . — The formation of a ship channel through this lake was first undertaken by the Govern- ment as a public work. After an expenditure of £73,558 in providing an outfit and prosecuting the works for four seasons, 1844, 45, 46. and 47, the steamers, dredging vessels, machinery, tools and implements, constructed or acquired for effecting the improvement, were made over to the Montreal Harbor Commissioners by the Almanac. 1864.] PUBLIC WORKS — CANADA 81 Act of 1850, for the purpose of enabling them to deep- en the channel through the lake to 16 feet draught at low water. By the same and subsequent Acts, the Harbor Commissioners were authorized to raise in all the sum of £170,000, and this debt was assumed by the Government under the order in Council of 18th April 1861. The Harbor Commissioners also received £16,000 appropriated in 1860. With this money they succeeded in clearing a channel of 300 feet in width and 20 feet depth at low water, between Montreal and the lake, through the natural obstructions presented at Point aux Trembles, Vercheres, and Lavaltrie. In the lake they have dredged a channel 11-1 miles in length and from 250 to 350 feet in width, with a clear draught through it of 17 feet 3 inches at the period of ordinary low water of 11 feet upon the flats, according to their Engineer’s survey, but of 18 feet according to that of Commander Orlebar, R. N. The quantity of excavation from the channel in 1862 was 156,850 cubic yards, leav- ing 864,172 cubic yards to be taken out, in order to complete the channel through the lake to the uniform width of 300 feet, and 20 feet in depth at the period of low water. Ottawa Works— From the Upper Ottawa 326,781 pieces of square timber passed the Chaudtere Slides in 1862, and about 90,000 saw logs arrived at the station the same year. From the Gatineau River, 9,251 pieces of square timber, and 154,918 saw logs were brought down. The tolls on all this property amounted to $49,000. Light- Houses . — Within the past few years, ten new light-houses have been constructed on the coasts and islands of the lower St. Lawrence. Four of these are leading sea lights of a superior class, two situated at the upper entrance of the Gulf, the third on the Strait of Belleisle, and the fourth on the south-west point of the Island of Belleisle, at the southern entrance of the strait. Although the marking out of the head-lands, points and shoals has greatly contributed to the safe navi- gation of the ocean route of the St. Lawrence, much yet remains to be done to enable mariners to avoid the dangers by which it still continues to be beset. Some years ago the Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department made a thorough examination of all the sites where the erection of lighthouses had been recommended by shipowners, masters of vessels, and others interested in the safe navigation of the St. Lawrence; and, in 1859, he submitted a report descrip- tive of these places. The most important of these were: the Bird Rocks in the gulf; and the south- west point of Newfoundland, in the vicinity of Cape Ray, where lights are required to indicate two dan- gerous points on the channel south-west of Newfound- land ; and at Cape Whittle. a special commission of inquiry into matters connected with them; and under these circumstances it was deemed unadvisable to resume the works. It is now considered that the buildings may be completed in time for the session of Parliament in 1865. The buildings are constructed of a light colored sandstone. The walls are relieved with cut stone dressings of Devonian sand- stone from Ohio, and by red sandstone relieving arches from Potsdam, N. Y. The roofs are slated with purple and green, and the pinnacles ornamented with wrought iron cresting. The style of architecture is the Italian Gothic. Upwards of $1,000,000 has been already ex- pended on these buildings, and it has been estimated that the sum required to complete them would sullice to erect suitable buildings on a less pretending scale.

In 1862, the sum of $6,131 was paid for keeping up theTemiscouata road during the months of January, February and March, for the passage of her Majesty’s troops. The Metapedia road, is said in the Commissioner's report, to form an important means of communication between Canada and New Brunswick, not only as regards the military defence of the country, but also on account of the advantage it affords of a highway for the vast district of Gasp6 and the Baie des Chaleurs. Provincial Steamers . — The government recently decided to sell these vessels. They performed the ser- vice of protecting the fisheries; the service of the light- houses, buoys, and beacons under the Trinity House; the postal service to the lower ports, &c. Public Buildings . — The sum of $4,141 was expended on the Montreal Court House in 1862, for repairs to the roof, masons’ work, and ventilation of sheriff's offices. The Commissioner’s report recommended the erection of a work-shed within the yard of the Montreal Gaol, for the shelter of the convicts while employed at manual labor ; and also an addition to the central wing of the building, to accommodate 160 prisoners. The expense of these improvements was estimated at $48,472. Ottawa Buildings . — In the prosecution of these buildings, a great quantity of work unprovided for in the estimates having been proceeded with, the original appropriation was largely exceeded, and it was consi- dered proper to suspend further operations in October 1861.

The Department of Agriculture has been considered of so much importance in Canada that it has been placed under the special management of a member of the Executive Council. It includes the subjects of Colonization, Immigration, Statistics, and Arts and Inventions. The institution of Provincial Exhibitions has had highly satisfactory results. These exhibitions annually gratify the public with displays of implements and ma- chinery, more and more perfect, produce and manufac- tures of great variety ana excellence, and cattle of new and superior breeds. The cattle breeders of Canada do not hesitate to compete with those of the United States, and occasionally carry off the highest prizes from their American rivals. “No other country m the world, except England,” said the minister of agricul- ture in his report for 1862, “can bring together so re- markable a collection of cattle of the best breeds.” The time may not be far distant when the farmers of Canada, incited by a spirit of patriotic emulation, will accomplish results as brilliant as those witnessed at the shows of the Royal Agricultural Society of the mother country.

The On- tario territory, north of Lake Ontario, still contains a large quantity of white pine, elm, maple, &c. 25,000 persons are directly engaged in lumbering op- erations. Government works, called slides, have been constructed on the sides of the falls on the great rivers, down which the lumber is floated from the interior! Farmers have followed the lumberers far beyond the frontiers of the settlements, in order to supply them with oats, potatoes, peas, and hay. In 1851, there were 1,567 saw mills in Upper Canada, and 1,065 in Lower Canada. The number of feet manu! factured during the year amounted to 391,051.820 for U. C., and 381,560,950 for L. C. Planks and Boards . — The value of the exports of planks to the U.S. in 1857 amounted to $2, 558, 206 ; in 1858 to $2,678,447 ; 1860, $3,027,730; 1861, $1,507,546. The sudden falling off in 1861 was owing to the depression occasioned by the civil war in the United States. Ashes.— The value of ashes, pot and pearl, exported from Canada, from 1859 to 1861 inclusive, was as fol- lows : — 1859. 1860. 1861.

Canadian Forests. — In 1759, the value of the exports of lumber amounted to only $31,250. In 1808, it did not exceed $400,000; while in 1860, it exceeded $10,000,000 having increased more than twenty fold in the half century. The most important and extensive timber territories of Canada are: 1st. The country drained by the Ottawa, comprising an area of 75,000 square miles. Ihe ash, white and red pine, are obtained Total $1,107,271 $961,106 $897,207 There is also an increasing trade in Canada balsam, turpentine, pitch, spruce gum, oil of spruce, oil of hem- lock, hemlock bark, maple sugar, bark of the bass wood, bark of the butternut and hickory, sassafras, sumach, bark of the white oak and slippery elm. The produce of the forest was formerly the most important of Cana- dian exports, but agriculture has recently taken the lead, as appears from the following statement:— Value of Exports. 1849. 1850. 1851.

During the year 1862 the Government caused public lectures to be delivered on the importance and advantage of cultivating textile plants in Canada A quantity of flax seed was ordered from Europe for distribution among farmers. The cul- tivators of flax have been stimulated to greater exer- tion by the cotton crisis, and extensive factories are being erected for the manufacture. Cultivation of the Vine. — An attempt has been made to introduce the cultivation of the vine. Mr. de Court- enay cultivated several species in the parish of St. Augustin, near Quebec, and succeeded in obtaining a quantity of wine of excellent flavor. His success led him to publish a pamphlet with the object of showing that, after all, the climate of Canada was adapted to the production of good wine. Arts and Manufactures. — There is a Board for each section of the Province, for the support of which $4,000 is annually appropriated. The finances of the Upper Canada Board are reported to be in a flourishing con- dition, the balance to its credit at the close of 1862 being $1,463. The library of reference established in connection with the Board contains 1,048 books. The Lower Canada Board reports that the $4,000 grant is inadequate to carry out, as energetically as could be desired, the trusts with which they have been charged. The Exhibition building erected at Montreal had been mortgaged in consequence of the accumulated liabili* ties. Almanac. 1864.] PATENTS — CANADA. 85 PATENTS— CANADA.

It was anticipated that the civil war in the United States would have greatly increased the immigration into Canada. This expectation, however, has been but J iartially realized, the high rate of wages offered for aborers on railways and other works, and the induce- ments to enlist in the army, being sufficiently attractive to draw largo numbers to the neighboring States. The total number of emigrants that arrived at Quebec during 1862, was 22,176, against 19,923 the previous year, being an increase of 2,253, or 11.30 per cent. Select commit- tees of the Legislative Council and Assembly have been appointed to take into consideration the subject of emi- gration, and, especially, to report from time to time upon the best means of diffusing a knowledge of the reat resources of the Province, so as to induce the in- ux of men of capital and manufacturing enterprise. These committees nave corresponded with the leading agriculturists and manufacturers throughout the coun- try, and the information thus obtained has been printed ancl circulated. In 1863, a pamphlet entitled “ Canada, for the information of emigrants,” was published by authority. Government Emigration Agents. — A. C. Buch- anan (chief agent), Quebec; J. H. Daly, Montreal; W. J. Wills, Ottawa City; James McPherson, Kings- ton ; A. B. Hawke (chief agentU. C.), Toronto; Richd. Rae, Hamilton. The following is a comparative statement of the nationalities of the emigrants during 1861 and 1862 : — i En- glish. Irish. Scot. Ger- mans and Prus- sians. Norwe- gians, Swedes and Danes.

Out of the total number of emigrants that arrived in Quebec in 1862, 14,401, or about 65 per cent., embarked from ports in the United Kingdom, and of these 12,466 came out by steamers, preferring to pay a higher rate of passage money in consideration of the greater com- fort and speed of the voyage. The larger portion of the emigrants have been farmers, clerks and traders, labourers and domestic servants. During 1862, there was a considerable increase in the number of miners and coopers. The following statement shews the comparative in- crease to the population, by immigration, during 1861 and 1862:— 6 1861— Steerage pass, landed in Quebec — 18,259 Proceeded to U. S.

But a large mortality occurred among the foreign emigrants. The Norwegians lost 184 during the voyage, and 42 in quarantine, being over 4 per cent, of their whole number, and the Ger- mans lost 102, being almost an equal per centage. This heavy loss was occasioned by measles, small pox, and ship fever, chiefly attributable to the crowded state of some of their ships, and neglect of the ordinary sani- tary precautions. The English emigrants embark chiefly from Liverpool and Plymouth; the Irish from the ports of Cork, Londonderry, and New Boss; and the Scotch almost exclusively from Glasgow. The German emigration proceeds from Bremen and Ham- burg, and the Norwegian is spread over 19 different ports. The trades and callings of the steerage male adults during 1862 were as follows : — British. Foreign. jTotal.

At the port of Kingston, the number of emigrants landed during 1862, remaining in Canada, was 1,644; 163 from England, 322 from Ireland, 69 from Scotland, 1,048 from tne States, 40 from Germany, and 2 from Norway. At Toronto, the aggregate number of arrivals was 12,127; 1,725 from England, 1,721 from Ireland, 1,657 from Scotland, 1,700 from Germany, 4,794 from Norway and Sweden, and 530 via Oswego, Rochester, and Lew- iston. 4,656 remained in Canada, and 6,941 are sup- posed to have gone to the States. At Hamilton, the total number of arrivals was 18,349, viz.: 4,413 English, 3,515 Irish, 457 Scotch, 3,320 Ger- mans, 107 French, 9 Russians, 12 Austrians, 616 Danes, 1,066 Swedes, 2,992 Norwegians, and 1,942 Americans. The expenditure under the immediate superintend- ence of the Emigration Department, during 1862, amounted to 3546,081, viz. Foreign agencies $11,383 Quarantine establishment 5,389 Emigration (in direct relief) 12,021 Agency charges, rent, printing, &c 5,227 Salaries .... 12,059 $46,081 Directions to Emigrants . — Under this head some extracts are given from the information published by authority for the guidance of emigrants : On arrival in Canada, the emigrant should at once apply to the Government Emigration Officers, whose duty it is to afford him every information and advice. Those desirous of obtaining employment will find it to their advantage to accept the first offer, even if the wages should be less than they had been led to expect, as until they become acquainted with the coun- try their services are of comparatively small value to their employers. Persons seeking situations as clerks, shopmen, &c. ( for whom there exists no demand), and mechanics, who experience difficulty in obtaining em- loyment in their respective trades, should accept the rst offer that presents itself sooner than remain idle. Emigrants who have settled destinations should remain about the city as short a time as possible after arrival. Farm laborers should proceed at once into the agricul- tural districts, where they will be certain of meeting with employment suitable to their habits; and those with families will also more easily procure the neces- saries of life, and avoid the hardships and distress which are experienced by a large portion of the poor inhabitants in our large cities during the wintor season. Protection to Emigrants . — The Imperial and Pro- vincial Passengers Acts provide, as far as possible, against frauds and imposition, any instance of which should at once be made known to the nearest emigrant agent. The Provincial Passengers’ Act provides that emigrants may remain on board 48 hours after tho ves- sel’s arrival (except in cases whore the vessel has a mail contract), and that they shall be landed free of expense, at proper hours ; that no person without a license shall influence passengers in favor of any particular steam- boat, railroad or tavern ; that tavern-keepers shall have posted, in some conspicuous place, a list of prices to be charged for board, lodging, &c., and they will not be allowed to have any lien upon the effects of a passen- ger for board and lodging beyond five dollars. The personal effects of emigrants are not liable to duty. Demand for Labor . — There is always a large de- mand for farm laborers and female servants; to this latter class especially, Canada offers great inducements, and every hard working respectable girl is sure to do well. Boys and girls over 15, carpenters, masons, brick- layers, blacksmiths and shoemakers, are also wanted. Average Wages . — Farm labor per month, from $8 to $12, with board and lodging; female servants $2 to $5; Boys, over 13 years $2 to $8; Girls, $1 to $3; Mechanics per day $1 to $1.50, without board. Trades- men found with board and lodging get little more than half the above rates of wages. Disposal of Capital .— Emigrants possessing capital, say from .£200 to £500, are advised to purchase or rent a farm with some little improvement upon it, instead of going into the bush at once. Parties desirous of in- vesting may obtain from 8 to 10 per cent, for their money on mortgage. The emigrant coming to Can- ada with a small capital, would act wisely, if, instead of buying land before becoming acquainted with its character and the kind of labor required in a new country — a proceeding invariably leading to various embarrassing expenses— he were to invest his money in the Savings’ Bank, hire a log shanty for his family in some neighborhood affording a good prospect of employment, and work at wages for a year or so, thus gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to re- alize independence. Such a course is not deemed de- grading in Canada, and it is sure to result in ultimate good. Let it be borne in mind that all families com- ing to Canada, whether they be possessed of £100 or £1000, must fail, unless they come determined to labor themselves; and it may be asserted without fear of contradiction, that the head of a family who pursues this plan will, at the end of a few years, be far in ad- vance of him, no matter what his capital may be, who has not taken to the axe and the hoe. Improved fhrms may be purchased at from 5 dollars to 50 dollars per acre, according to situation and ex tout of improvement; or rented, with or without the option of purchase, at from 1 dollar to 4 dollars per aC Crown Lands in Upper Canada are sold for cash at 70 conts an acre, and, on time, atone dollar an acre, one fifth to be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining four fifths in four equal annual instalments, with interest at 6 per cent, on the purchase money unpaid.. On the north shore of Lake Huron, and at Fort, Wil- liam on Lake Superior, lands are sold on time at 20 cents an aero. All Crown Lands in the newly sur- veyed territory aro subject to settlement duties, and no patent in any case (even though the land bo paid for in full at the time of purchase) shall issue for any such land to any person who shall not by himself, or the porson under whom he claims, have taken pos- session of such lands, within six months from the time of sale, and shall from that time continuously have been a bona fide ocoupant of, and resident on the land for at least two years, and have cleared and rendered fit for cultivation and crop, and had under crop, with- in four years at farthest from the timo of sale ot the land, a quantity thereof in the proportion of at least 10 acres to every 100 acres, and have erected thereon a habitable house, and of the dimensions at least of 16 x 20 feet. Timber must not be cut without license, except for agricultural purposes. Land Regulations.— Land adapted for farming pur- poses can seldom be obtained from land companies, speculators or private individuals, under twenty shil- 104 MILITIA — CANADA, [1864. B. N. A. lings an acre. The Canadian Government, being de- sirous of preventing the acquisition of large tracts of lands by private companies or private individuals, for the purpose of speculation, have coupled the sale of the Government lands with such conditions as to prevent undue or improper advantage being taken of their lib- erality in otlering farming land at a low rate. Every purchaser must become an actual settler. In addition to the free grants, Government lands are sold either in blocks, or in single lots of 100 acres, to actual settlers. Lands in blocks are sold in quantities varying from 40,000 to 60,000 acres, at 50 cents (about 2s. sterling) per acre, cash, in Upper Canada; and in Lower Canada, at from 18 cents and upwards, according to situation, on condition that the purchaser cause the block to be surveyed into lots of from 100 to 200 acres each, on a plan and in a manner to be approved by the Govern- ment; and that one-third of the block be settled upon within 2£ years from the time of sale— one-third more within 7 years— and the residue within 10 years from the time of sale. The settlers must have resided on their lots for two years continuously, and have cleared and cultivated 10 of every 100 acres occupied by them, before they can get absolute titles. Absolute titles will be given to the purchaser on payment in full of the rice, and on his having resided at least two years on is lot, *nd cleared and had under cultivation 10 of every 100 acres occupied by him. Emigrants and others desirous of purchasing Crown Lands should make application to the respective local Crown Land agents, who are required by law to fur- nish all applicants with correct information as to what lands are open for sale. The Government Emigration agents at Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, To- ronto and Hamilton, will afford information and advice to emigrants respecting the best means of reaching the localities in which they intend to settle. If the lot has not yet been advertised, and placed at the disposal of the agent, no sale of it can be made until that is done, unless the applicant is in actual occupation, with valu- able improvements; in that case he may, at his own expense, procure the services of the agent (if the lot be within the jurisdiction of one), to inspect it, or furnish him satisfactory evidence, by affidavits of two credible and disinterested parties, or the report of a sworn sur- veyor, to enable him to report to the Department the following particulars, viz : — The whole time the lot has been occupied; by whom now occupied; the nature and extent of the improvements owned by applicant, and whether there are any adverse claims, on account of improvements made by any other partv on the same piece or parcel of land. If the lot is public land, but notwithm the jurisdiction of any agent, an application should be made direct to the Department, applicant being careful, in order to avoid delay and prevent un- necessary correspondence, to transmit at the same time the evidence by affidavit or surveyor’s report, as above stated. The same rules should be observed by applicants to purchase public lands situated in the old settled town- ships, with these additions; that, in cases where the applicant occupies improvements made by his prede- cessors on the lot., he should show by assignment or other evidence, how he obtained possession of them, and that he is now the bona fide owner of the same. The present full value of the land per acre, exclusive of improvements, should also be stated by the agent, the surveyor or deponents, as the case may be. All papers necessary to substantiate the applicant’s claim or right to purchase, if the application is made direct to the De- partment, should accompany the first application. All assignments, whether by squatters or purchasers, must be unconditional to be recognized by the Department. Expense of Clearing , and Public Charges on Land.— The cost of clearing wild lands is about from 12 to 14 dollars per acre. The expense is, however, greater in the remote districts, in consequence of the difficulty of procuring laborers; but this work is generally done by contract. The only charge on land is a tax which sel- dom exceeds Id. per acre. It is applied to local im- provements alone, in which the persons taxed have a direct interest. Capital required, by intending settlers .— The capi- tal required to enable an emigrant family to settle upon a free grant lot, or enter upon the occupation of the wild lands of the Crown, has been variously estimated. It should be sufficient to support his family for the first 18 months, until he can get a return from his land. In no case should It be less than £50 Cy. Emigration in 1863. — The emigration returns show the number of emigrants arrived at Quebec to Nov. 8, 1863, to have been 1,268 cabin, and 17,521 steerage. Last year the number was 1,962 cabin, and 19,396 steer- age. The decrease is accounted for by a decline in the Norwegian emigration of about 4,000 as compared with last year. The emigration from the United Kingdom and Germany increased in 1863, VOLUNTEER MILITIA LIST OF CANADA. ( Corrected up to 30 th November 1863.) 8TATE OP THE VOLUNTEER FORCE. On 3rd May 1862, the deputies adjutant general reported, for the information of the House of Assembly, that there were then organized in the Province 13,390 volunteers; of these 29 companies were reported by lieut. col. Wiley, after his tour of inspection, as having failed in their organization, and were disbanded ; these 29 compa- Dies represented 1,450 volunteers, leaving as efficient at that date, 11,940. Since then companies representing 13,070 volunteers, have been organized in different sections of the Province, making in all, up to 9tli Feb. 1863, a total of 25,010. Taking population as a basis, these volunteer corps are distributed as follows: Population of all Canada (census 1861), 2,506,752 — present volunteer force, 25,010, or say 10 volunteers for each 1000 inhabffauts.

That henceforth (except in special cases), the rank of Major shall be granted after five years actual service as Captain of a corps which is fully uniformed and efficient in every respect to the satisfaction of the Inspecting Officer. 3rd. That henceforth, (except in special cases), pro- motion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Militia will be granted only to Officers who have served five years consecutively as Majors at the head of one or more corps who are fully uniformed and efficient in every respect to the satisfaction of the Inspecting Officer,— thus requiring ten years to attain tne rank of Lieut.

[ 1864 . B. N. A. Soldiers’ and seamen’s letters are not liable to any additional rate on re-direction. All soldiers’ and seamen’s letters are conveyed between Canada and the United Kingdom by the Canadian line of steamers. Letters sent bv commissioned or warrant officers, midshipmen or masters’ mates, engineers in the navy, captains’ clerks or first-class schoolmasters, or com- missioned or warrant oflicers in the army, are not included in the privilege attached to letters of soldiers and seamen, but arc chargeable with the same rates as ordinary letters. , , . _ , ... Soldiers’ and seamen’s letters posted in Canada w ltu- out a compliance with the above regulations are liable to full postage. If posted in accordance with the above regulations, but without pre-payment of 2 cents, they are liable to a charge of 2d. sterling on delivery in the United Kingdom. „ , . . Rates of Postage on Newspapers .— The law declares that for post office purposes a newspaper shall be held to mean a periodical published not less frequently than once in each week, and containing notices or passing events, that is to say, general news. Although provision is made for forwarding news- papers through the post, it is not compulsory on any one to employ this mode of transmission ; everything except letters may be sent in any other way. A newspaper to pass at the undermentioned rate is subject to the following restrictions : 1. it must have no cover, or a cover open at both ends. 2. It must not contain any enclosure. 3 It must have no writing or mark thereon but the name and address of the person to whom it is sent, nor anything on the cover except such name and address. Newspapers which are not posted in accordance with these regulations, are not forwarded. An extia newspaper or a supplement to a news- paper is deemed a distinct newspaper, and charged accordingly. t t at. Newspapers published in Canada may be sent by post from the olfice of publication to any place in Canada at the following rates, if paid quarterly in ad- vance, either by the publisher at the post olfice ay here the papers are posted, or by the subscriber at the post olfice where the papers are delivered. A paper published 6 times per week, 40 cts. per quar. * “ 3 20 “ 2 “ 13 “ 1 “ 51 “ Semi-monthly, 3f “ “ Monthly, l| “ When the above rates are not paid in advance by either the publisher or subscriber, the papers are charged 1 cent each on delivery. It is not necessary that the commuted rate on news- papers should be paid absolutely on the first day of each quarter. The regulation is intended to be carried out with all possible consideration for the convenience of the public, and it will be sufficient if the person de- siring to pay the commuted rate declares his intention and offers the payment when first calling at the office within a reasonable time after the commencement of the quarter; but after having made his option to pre- pay the commuted charge, or to pay for liis papers as received at one cent each, as the case may be, post- masters are not expected to alter their newspaper accounts to allow ot a change until the commencement iof the next quarter. j The commuted rate of payment can be accepted from pew subscribers during a quarter for any uuex- pired period of the quarter not less than a month. Newspapers published in Canada which arc not posted from the office of publication, must be pre-paid one cent, each by postage stamps, otherwise they will not be forwarded. Publishers of newspapers in Canada are allowed to enclose in copies of their papers sent to subscribers, subscription accounts, and receipts for the same, with- out rendering them liable to any additional postage. Packets of unbound newspapers published in Canad a mav bo returned by a subscriber to the office of publi- cation, at the rate of 2 conts per 8 oz, or fraction of 8 oz., which must be pro-paid. Transient newspapers addressed to the United states must be pre-paid one cent each by postago stamp, otherwise they will not be forwarded. Newspapers posted in the United States and ad- dressed to Canada, are liable to one cent each on delivery The stamp paid on these papers indicates that the United States postage only has been pre-paid, the Canadian rate of one cent remaining to be col- lected American newspapers posted or re-posted in Canada must be pre-paid one cent each, by stamp, otherwise they will not be forwarded. 'Ihc option of paying the commuted rate on news- papers docs not apply to papers published in the United States; they must be paid for at the full rate of one cent each. . . Canadian new^s agents and booksellers may post American newspapers unpaid, when addressed to regular subscribers in the Province; but such news- papers arc chargeable on delivery with one cent each. Newspapers posted in Canada and addressed to the United Kingdom must be pre-paid by stamp, one cent ^Newspapers forwarded by Canadian Steamer are delivered in the United Kingdom without additional charge. Newspapers forwarded by Cunard Steamer are liable on delivery to one penny each, being the American transit rate. Newspapers posted in the United Kingdom for Ca- nada should be pre-paid one penny each, by stamp. If forwarded by Canadian Steamer they arc subject on delivery to no additional charge. If forw arded by Cunard Steamer they are subject on delivery to two cents each, being the American transit British newspapers re-posted in Canada must be pre- paid 1 cent each, by stamp. British newspapers distributed to regular subscribers by Canadian booksellers or agents pass free in the same way as if received by the Canadian Steamers. Canadian newspapers addressed from the office of publication to subscribers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Lower Provinces, &c., may be for- warded on pre-payment of the commuted rate, ap- plicable to subscribers within the Province; but they cannot be forwarded if unpaid. . ‘ Exchange papers passing between publishers in Ca- nada, and between publishers in Canada and publishers in the United States, are carried free through the post. No newspapers, properly so called(except exchanges), whether devoted to education, temperance, agricul- ture, or to any branch of science, is entitled to exemp- tion from charge. The law exempts only periodicals, other than new spapers, printed in Canada, and devoted exclusively to the above objects. , . Newspapers addressed to Newfoundland must be pre-paiu two cents each by stamp. No United States newspapers of any kind or descrip- tion (with the exception of exchange papers) are on any ground entitled to pass through the Canadian mails free of postage. In cities and towns whore newspapers are published, the printers and publishers should send them to the post oflice put up in a manner to admit ol their being readily counted, and if necessary, withdrawn from their covers for examination. The newspapers lor each oflice should be made up in strong papers in a separate parcel, which should be plainly addressed. When the numbers of a newspaper published m Ca- nada or in either of the other British North American Provinces, or in the United States, and issued daily, or tn-weoKiy, uuring mruu v«wm, y* » issued weekly during one month; and ol a monthly periodical during two months, or when such news- papers and periodicals have been refused to be taken by the party to whom addressed, the postmaster is in- structed to notify the respective publishers m the pro- per form, which is to pass free of postage. It the newspaper or periodical continues to arrive alter xne notice has been sent, the postmaster is instructed to notify the publisher in the same way a second time, specially calling liis attention to the first notice. To encloso a letter or any writing, or to make any written marks to serve tho purpose ot a letter, or o enclose anv other thing (except publishers accounts and receipts, as before mentioned) in a newspaper posted to pass as a newspaper, is a mis clenicarior.

Periodical publications can be transmitted by post to any part of Canada and the United States at the following rates For every periodical publication weighing not more than 3 oz. in weight 1 cent. Over 3 oz. in weight 4 “ The above rates must invariably be pre-paid by postage stamps. If pre-paid by postage stamps and sent from the office of publication, periodicals published in Canada weighing over 3 oz. pass for two cents each. Periodical publications received from the United States are liable to the rates above mentioned, viz. : If not exceeding 3 oz. 1 ct. ; if exceeding 3 oz. 4 cts. Canadian booksellers and news agents may post British, American or Provincial periodicals for distri- bution to regular subscribers unpaid. If sent unpaid they will, when exceeding the weight of 3 oz., be sub- ject to 4 cents. Canadian booksellers and news agents may also post for transmission by mail in Canada small periodi- cals, whether Canadian, British or United States, Message, The Good News, and others of a like de- scription, in packages to one address, at the rate of 5 cents per pound, or fraction of a pound bulk weight, provided that the same news agents and booksellers pre-pay such packages by postage stamps. 1 his must not be understood as imposing a charge on Canadian periodicals entitled to pass free. Periodicals printed in Canada other than newspapers when specially devoted to education, meaning the in- struction of youth, (both religious and general), to agriculture, to temperance, or to any branch of science, and addressed directly from the otlice of publication to be transmitted to any post office in Canada, are conveyed by mail free of charge. Such, periodicals must not contain general news or advertisements, or they forfeit their claim to exemption. A periodical devoted to education to pass free must be either strictly scholastic in its subject matter, or manifestly adapted and intended for juvenile as dis- tinguished from adult instruction. It is m this pn- marv sense that the word Education, whether religious or secular, is understood to be used. Religious publi- cations are not as a class entitled to exemption from charge. The law exempts only those which come within the foregoing definitions. No United States periodical ot any kind or descrip- tion can, upon any ground, claim exemption from Canadian postage. , , Parcels of unbound periodicals may be returned by a subscriber to the office of publication at the rate ot two cents per 8 oz. or fraction of 8 oz.

All public documents and printed papers sent by the Speaker or Chief Clerk of the Legislative Council or Legislative Assembly, to any Member of either of the said branches of the Legislature of Canada, during the recess of Parliament.. All papers printed by order of either branch of the Legislature of Canada, sent by Members of cither branch of the said Legislature, either during the Ses- sion or recess. Public documents and printed papers sent under the two foregoing clauses, should bear, as part of the ad- dress, the bona fide superscription of the Speaker, Chief Clerk, or officer specially deputed for this purpose to act for those functionaries, or of the Member sending the same. All letters to and from the Postmaster General and the Deputy Postmaster General ; and all official com- munications to and from the Post Office Department and to and from the Tost Office Inspectors, are to pass free of any Provincial postage.

Postage incorrectly charged on editor’s notices ad- dressed to publishers and editors, and exchange pa- pers, which shouid legally pass without charge. All other claims for the return or abatement of post- age must be specially referred to the Postmaster Gene- ral for his decision, with the letter or packet on which the return is claimed. Undelivered and Dead Letters. — All letters remain- ing undelivered in a post office on the first of each month, excepting drop letters and such letters as are daily called for, arc advertised in a list posted at the ofiiee door for the information of the public. If a newspaper is published in the neighbourhood the Postmaster is directed to insert this list therein, provided the proprietor will give it insertion at the authorized rate. Parties applying at an office for advertised letters should alw ays ask for them as such. Letters and papers after remaining undelivered in an office for three months are sent to the Dead Letter Office, as also are all letters refused by the persons to whom they are addressed, or letters addressed to per- sons deceased. Every letter which is opened at the Dead Letter Office and found to contain the address of the sender is sent back to him; but such as do not contain the sender’s address, are destroyed, excepting always those which contain money and other articles of value, which are kept for a reasonable time for the purpose of being reclaimed. Registration.— By the pre-payment of the following fee, in addition to the ordinary postage, letters ana parcels oan be registered at. the office at which posted : On letters addressed to any plaoe in Canada or the other British North American Provinces 2 oents On letters addressod to anyplace in the United States 5 ** On letters addressed to any place in the United Kingdom 12£ u On parcels to any part of Canada 5 u The registration fees on letters to British Colonies and Foreign Countries will be found in the tables. Every letter or parcel containing value should be reg- istered and presented to the Postmaster or his clerk, and a receipt, obtained thorofor. On no account should it be dropped into a letter box. When letters are registered for the United Kingdom, for Foreign Countries, via England, or for the United Almanac. 1864.] POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT — CANADA. 123 States, both the postage and the registration fee must be prepaid. Books, periodicals, newspapers, circulars, and other printed matter, cannot be registered unless pie-paid the full letter rates, in addition to the ordinary regis- tration fee. Registered letters and packets can only be delivered to the parties to whom they are addressed or to their order, and a receipt must be given on the delivery of each registered letter in a book kept by every post- master for that purpose. It should be clearly understood that the post office is not responsible for the safe delivery of a registered letter or parcel. The registration simply makes its transmission more secure, by rendering it practicable to trace it, when passing from one place to another in Canada, from its receipt to its delivery ; and when ad- dressed from any place in Canada to any place in the United States, the United Kingdom, or parts abroad, if not to its delivery, at least to the frontier or port of despatch. Postage Stamps.— Every postmaster is required to have on hand a sufficient stock of postage stamps, and to sell them to the public at 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 12V cents, and 17 cents each. Letter envelopes are also provided with medallion stamps equivalent to 5 cents and 10 cents postage, each. The five cent'envelopes are sold singly at 6 centseach; 66 cents per dozen ; $5.50 per hundred. The 10 cent envelopes are sold singly at 11 cents each ; $1.26 per dozen ; $10.50 per hundred. With the approval of the Postmaster General, post- age stamps are sold to certain dealers to retail again to the public. Pre-payment of letters should, in all cases where practicable, be made by postage stamps. A mutilated stamp, or a stamp cut in half, is not re- cognized in pre-payment of postage. A medallion stamp cannot be accepted in prepay- ment of postage separated from the envelope of which it may have formed a part. No British stamps, or stamps of a foreign country, can be received in pre-payment of postage in C anada. In affixing the stamp to the letter, wet slightly the corner of the envelope and the gummed side of the stamp, and gently press the stamp till it is firmly fixed. Stamps should be placed on the front or address sido of the letter, and on the right hand upper corner. Letters cannot be pre-paid partly in stamps and partly in money ; the postage must be pre-paid either wholly in stamps, or wholly in money. If the stamps affixed to a letter addressed to any place in British North America be not adequate to the proper postage, the letter is rated with an amount equal to the deficiency. Letters addressed to the United States, on w hich stamps are affixed representing less than the amount of postage to which the letters are liable, are rated with full unpaid postage. Postage stamps are received at all post offices in payment of postage or unpaid letters delivered there- from. Money Orders— Post offices in Canada at which money orders are issued and paid, are distinguished in the List of Post Offices by boing printed in it dies. Every money order office in Canada issues money orders on every other money order office in Canada, as well as on every money order office in the United Kingdom. Every money order office in the United Kingdom also issues money orders on every money ordor office in Canada. The rate of commission charged on money orders drawn by one monev order office in Canada on any other money ordor office in Canada, is as follows : — • If not exceeding in amount $10 5 cents. Exceeding $10 and not exceeding $20 10 “ « 20 “ “ 40 20 “ ** 40 ** ** 60 .... 30 “ 60 “ “ 80 40 “ « 80 “ “ 100 .... 50 “ No half cents can be introduced into ordors. No money order exceeding $100 in amount can be grantod on any office in Canada; but postmasters are at liberty to grant two or more orders tor $100 or tor anv lesser sum. Thev cannot, how ever, grant two or more orders for sums of or under $30 on the same day to the same applicant in favor of the same payee. Money orders on the United Kingdom are drawrn in sterling money, and may be for any sum from one shilling to ten pounds. They must not, how ever, ex- ceed the latter amount; but postmasters are at liberty to issue two or more separate orders for ten pounds each or for any smaller sum. The rate of commission charged on orders on the United Kingdom, over and above the currency value of the sterling, is as follows : — For orders not exceeding £2 sterling 25 cts. Exceeding L2 and not ex. ±5 stg 50 “ “ 5 “ “ 7 “ 75 “ “ 7 “ “ 10 “ 1.00 “ Tables shewing the amount of Provincial currency required for money orders issued in Canada upon the United Kingdom, in addition to the commission, and money orders issued in the United Kingdom upon Canada, will be found subjoined : Applicants for money orders should always use the printed application forms, in which they should fill up the particulars of the order required. These forms are supplied gratuitously at all money order offices. The Christian and surnames in full, and residences, both of the remitter and payee, should be furnished to the issuing postmaster. When a married woman is either the remitter or payee, her own Christian name should be given, and not that of her husband, thus — “ Mrs. Mary Smith,” not “ Mrs. John Smith.” If the remitter or payee be a Peer or a Bishop, his ordinary title is sufficient. If a firm, the usual desig- nation of such firm will suffice, such as “ Baring Bros.,” “Smith & Son,” “Jones & Co.” Parties procuring money orders should examine them carefully to see that they are properly filled up and stamped. This caution will appear the more necessary when it is understood that any important defect in these respects will throw difficulties in the way ofpavment. Money orders which, in consequence of misappre- hension of the name of the remitter or place of pay- ment have been erroneously made out, can be returned to the postmaster, and a correct order given in ex- change; a new commission, however, will be charged on the corrected order. Parties obtaining money orders on Canadian offices, can procure re-payment thereof on presentation of the orders at the office at wdiich issued, signing. the receipt at the foot. No order, however, can be re-paid with- out the authority of the superintendent, unless pre- sented for re-payment on the day on which it is issued. Neither can orders on the United Kingdom be re-paid without his special authority. When a remitter desires an order on the United Kingdom to be paid through a bank, it is left to his option to give or withhold the name of the payee, or to substitute for the name of the payee any other desig- nation or modification, such as “the Cashier of the Bank of England,” “the Chief Clerk of the Foreign Office.” Such orders must, however, be crossed by the issuing postmaster with the name of the bank through wdiich the order is to be paid. The issue of money orders on credit, or for cheques not marked “good” by the bank drawn upon, is strictly prohibited. If a payee is unable to write, he mustsign the receipt at the foot of the order, in the presence of the paying postmaster, by making his mark, to be witnessed in writing ; as, tor example : — Ilis Witness , — John Kenny. Joseph x Allen. Queen Street, for onto. Mark. In cases of money orders issued in Canada, post- masters are at liberty to accept the written order of the payee on the order itself in favor ot a second per- son, if through illness or insuperable difficulty the paveo is prevented from presenting the order in l < When a Canadian money order has been lost, either by the remitter or pavee/the circumstance must bo made known to the superintendent, who, under cer- tain precautions, will issue a duplicate. Duplicates of sterling orders can only be granted by the paying country. Thus the British post office issues duplicates of orders drawn in Canada on the United Kingdom, and the Canadian Head Money Order Office grants duplicates of orders drawn in the United King? dom on Canada. 124 POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT — CANADA. [1864. .B. N. A. Money orders which are not presented until one full year after their date are considered as lapsed orders, and cannot be paid without the special permission of the superintendent. In all such cases satisfactory reasons should be given explanatory of the delay in the presentation of the order. The Deputy Postmasters General of Malta and Gib- raltar are authorized to issue money orders on the several money order otlices in Canada. Money order offices in Canada do not, however, grant money orders on Malta and Gibraltar. General Regulations .— Postmasters and certain other officers of the department are not exempt from serving on juries or inquests, or in the militia. This exemp- tion applies to mail carriers, but not to assistants ap- pointed and paid by postmasters. The postmasters of Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers, and Sherbrooke, and the postmasters of incorporated cities and towns in Upper Canada, divided into wards, and other officers of the Post Office Department, ex- cepting Postmasters at other than the above places, cannot legally vote at the election of any member of the Legislative Council or of the Legislative Assembly. Postmasters are not authorized to give credit for postage; if they do so it is entirely at their own risk. A letter once posted becomes the property of the person to whom it is addressed, and must be forwarded according to its direction. On no application, however urgent, can it be delivered back to the writer, or to any other person. A letter addressed to a firm may be delivered to any member of the firm. If addressed to several persons it may be delivered to any one of them. A letter delivered to the wrong person in conse- quence of his name being the same as the one of the person for whom the letter is really intended, should be at once returned to the postmaster from whom re- ceived, the party writing on the cover “ opened by me through mistake,” and signing his name thereto. Letters posted without any direction, or addressed so imperfectlv that they cannot be forwarded to their intended destinations, and also unpaid or insufficiently paid letters addressed to countries to which letters cannot be sent without the postage is pre-paid, are returned to the writers through the Dead Letter Office. No information can be given respecting letters which pass through a post office except to the persons to whom thev are addressed. Parties desiring their letters and papers to be re- directed should send an intimation to that effect, in writing, to the postmaster of the office from which the letters and papers are to be re-directed. Postmasters are allowed to re-direct letters to the known places of residence of the parties to whom they are addressed, after allowing a reasonable time to elapse without their being called for. Letters and papers are not subject to any addi- tional charge when re-directed from one post office in Canada to another post office in Canada. Postmasters are instructed not to receive any letter or packet which there is good reason to believe con- tains glass or anything likely to injure the contents of the mail bag or the person of any officer of the post office. ' A postmaster is not legally bound to furnish chango, but if absolutely necessary may require that the exact amount of postage on any letter or packet to be tendered to him in current coin, or in Canada postage stamps. Postmasters and their assistants in the above matter, as well as in all their official intercourse with the public, are expected to afford every accommodation, and to treat everyperson having business at their offices, with every courtesy. Mail couriers are bound to receivo letters offered to them whilst on the road between one post office and another, provided that when a letter is so offered the distance irom the nearest post office exceods one mile. Such letters are termed Way Letters, and are subject to the ordinary rates of postage. Suggestions to the Public . — Facility will bo given to the post office in the discharge of its daily duties, and greater security afforded to the public, by careful attention to the following recommendations; — Post all letters and newspapers, &c., as early as practicable, especially when sent in large numbers. When a number or newspapers are addressed to the same office, put them up in one — 1 When a number of circulars are posted, tie them up in a bundle, with the addresses all m one direction. Address letters, papers, &c., in a legible and com- plete manner, always giving the name of the post office; and if there be more than one post office of that name, the name of the county in which situated. In case of letters going abroad, the name of the country, as well as of the town and city, should be given in full. Letters, for example, intended for London, England, if simply addressed “London," would be forwarded to London, Canada West, and thus be delayed. See that every letter, newspaper, or other packet sent by post, i6 securely folded and sealed. Every such packet has to be several times handled; and even when in the mail bag, is exposed to pressure and fric- tion. Unless, therefore the article be light and pliant, it should be enclosed in strong paper, linen, parch- ment, or some other material which will not readily tear or break. Fasten the covers of newspapers firmly, so as to prevent them from slipping out. When dropping a letter or newspaper into a letter- box, always see that the packet falls into the box, and does not stick in its passage. Never seal letters for the East or West Indies and other hot climates, with wax. Such a practice is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, in consequence of the melting of the wax, and the adhesion of the letters to each other. In all such cases use either wafers or gum, and advise our correspondents in the country referred to, to do he same. Never send money or other articles of value through the post office, except either by means of a money order or in a registered letter. Carefully secure every letter or packet containing money or value, first with gum and afterwards with good sealing-wax, on which make the clear impression of a seal. In posting a registered letter or packet, always obtain a receipt for the same at the office where posted. - Whon letters or papers are delayed or missing, at once communicate the fact to the Inspector of the division in Which is situated the post office at which the delayed or missing letters were posted. In case of a missing letter enclosing value, state the exact con- tents, the exact address, and the office at which posted, the name of the person by whom posted, and the name of the person by whom received at the office. In the case of a delayed letter or paper, send the cover or wrapper in an entire state, 'in order that the place of delay may be ascertained by an examination of the post marks. Trouble and loss occasionally arise out of the care- lessness or dishonesty of parties employed in the post office service; yet instances are not wanting in which it has been shown to the satisfaction even of the complainants, that the fault at first attributed to the post office, in truth rested in other quarters. Thefts by private hands, although very difficult of proof, have not unfrequeutly been brought to light, and it is greatly to be desired that those who sutler loss should in the first instance, and while the circumstances are fresh, endeavour to ascertain with the utmost precision all particulars respecting the despatch or receipt of the lost letters or papers, and lose no time in communicat- ing this information to the Inspector, Indeed, gene- rally speaking, it is only by careful enquiry into minute details that the offender can be detected, whether ho be a servant of the Department or not. The Post Office is a department which admits of con- stant improvement and expansion. The public, by sending to the Postmaster-General clear and correct information respecting faulty arrangements, may ma- terially benefit the service. It must be remembored, however, that changes of machinery so extensive and intricate as that of the post office, must be made cautiously and with much previous consideration. Time is generally required to carry out any material change in postal arrangements; for oven when decided upon, old contracts, requiring notice of termination, may have to be got rid of, and tenders for new con- tracts invited by public advertisement, before the decision can take effect. New post offices are established by the Department wherever it is ascertained that a sufficient number ot inhabitants can be accommodated, and a sufficient Almanac. 1864.] POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT — CANADA 125 amount of postal revenue collected to warrant such a measure. When a new post office is required, a petition should be addressed to the Postmaster- General, signed by as many of the inhabitants as can conveniently subscribe the same. The petition should state the name of the township and the number of the lot and concession on which it is desired the oflice should be established; the distance from the neighbor- ing offices; whether at the site of the proposed post office there is a village; the number of mills, stores, taverns, and houses thereat; the extent of the settle- ment to be served, and the probable cost of the mail; together with any other facts which may form any ground for the accommodation applied for.

EDUCATION. r-rTEF SKETCH OF THE STATE AND PROGRESS OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION IN UPPER CANADA. BY J. GEORGE HODGIN8, LL.B., F.R.G.S. The present educational prosperity of Upper Canada has been of very slow growth. Nearly sixty years ago an unsuccessful effort was made to endow four Gram- mar schools and a University; and in 1807 the first .Legislative enactment was passed establishing Classical ana Mathematical schools in the eight districts into which Upper Canada was then divided, and endowing them with £400 per annum each. That established at Cornwall, under the mastership of Mr. Strachan (now the lion, the right rev. the Lord Bishop of Toronto), was most efficient. , .. . , _ .. In 1816, nine years after the establishment of the Grammar schools, the Legislature of Upper Canada passed the first Common school law for that province, and appropriated £24,000 per annum for the mainte- nance of Common schools. In 1820 this sum was re- duced to £10,000. „ TT , In 1822, a Board of Education for Upper Canada was established for the supervision of the Grammar schools, and the management of the University and School lands, which had been granted for those pur- poses by his Majesty George III. in 1798. Some regula- tions were adopted; and in 1824, an attempt was made to introduce Common and Sunday school libraries. Nevertheless, the zeal of the public in behalf of educa- tion gradually languished ; and it was not until 1835 that an effort was made to revive it. In that year a bill to promote it was passed in the House of Assembly, but failed to pass in the Legislative Council. In 1836, an elaborate report was prepared by Dr. Thomas Duns- combe, M.T.P., chairman of the Educational com- mittee of the House of Assembly, on the state of edu- cation in the various parts of the adjoining Union which he visited. He also prepared a draft of a Bill, which was printed, but never passed. The political crisis of 1837 soon followed, overwhelming in con- fusion all our school legislation and preventing further attention being given to the subject at that time. I.— PUBLIC COMMON SCHOOLS. (1.) The Common School System. — In 1841, a bill was passed restoring our Common schools, authorizing the establishment of Separate schools, and tracing the out- lines of a system of education. In 1844, the rev. Dr. Ryerson, the present head of the Department, was ap- { jointed. He speedily set himself to reconstruct, upon a jroader and more lasting foundation, our entire system of public instruction . As a preliminary step, he devoted a year to the examination and comparison of the sys- tems of education in Europe and America, and em- bodied the results in a “ Report. on a System of Public Elementary Instruction in Upper Canada.” This valuable report sketches, in a comprehensive manner, the system of public instruction which is now in suc- cessful operation among us. The chief outlines of the system are similar to those in other countries. We are indebted in a great degree to New York for the machinery of our schools, to Massa- chusetts for the principle upon which they are sup- ported, to Ireland for an admirable series of Common school books, and to Germany for our system of Normal school training. All, however, are so modified and blended to suit the circumstances of the country, that they are no longer exotic, but “ racy of the soil.” In several important particulars, our Public School system differs from any other on this continent. The chief points of difference are as follows: 1. It provides for specific religious instruction, and the co-operation and visitation of the local clergy of the various religious persuasions. 2. The chief executive is a non-political and perma- nent officer. 3. Taxation for its support is voluntary on the part of the various municipalities. 4. 1 1, prohibits the use of foreign books in the English branches of instruction, except by special permis- sion, — thus preventing the introduction of heteroge- neous textbooks, and those inimical to oar institu- tions. 6. It provides for the supply of maps, school appa- ratus, prize, and library books to all the schools, direct from the Department, and grants 100 per cent, on local appropriations for this purpose. 6. It provides for the pensioning of superannuated or worn-out teachers. 7. It provides for taking and recording meteorologi- cal observations at the senior County Grammar schools. (2.) Common School Statistics. — Each township is divided into school sections of a suitable extent for one school, and in each of these sections three trustees are elected to manage its school affairs. In cities, towns, and villages, the schools are managed by a Board of School trustees, elected for the municipality. There were 4,104 Common schools in Upper Canada in 1862, including 109 Roman Catholic Separate schools, attended by 343,733 pupils, of which 14,700 attended the Roman Catholic Separate schools. (3.) Expenditures on . behalf of Common and Separate Schools in 1862.— 1. For the salaries of teachers, $959,776; increase over 1861, $41,663. 2. For maps, apparatus, prizes, and libraries, $22,316; increase, $1,511. 3. For school sites, and building of school houses, $114,719; increase, $1,354. 4. For rents and repairs of school houses, $37,960; increase, $1,498. 5. For school books, stationery, fuel, and other ex- penses, $97,219 ; decrease, $5,452’. 6. Total expenditure for all Common school pur- poses, $1,231,993; increase, $40,575. . 7. Balances unexpended at the end of the year, $164,130; decrease, $25,731. (4.) Free Public Libraries, Maps, and Apparatus . — The Chief Superintendent in his report for 1862 states that “The system of free public libraries is as follows: A carefully classified catalogue of about four thousand wmrks (which, after examination, have been approved by the Council of Public Instruction), is sent to the trustees of each school section and the council of each municipality. From this catalogue the municipal or school authorities desirous of establishing or improv- ing a library, select such books as they think proper, and receive from the Department the books desired (as far as they are in print or stock) at cost prices, with an apportionment of one hundred per cent, upon whatever sum or sums they transfer towards the pur- chase of books. The libraries are managed by the local councils and trustees according to general regu- lations, as provided by law, by the Council of Public Instruction.” Up to the end of Dec. 1862, about 518 libraries had been established, containing more than 1200 sub-divisions, and 198,848 vols. “The maps, globes, and various articles of school apparatus sent out by the Department, apportioning one hundred per cent, upon whatever sum or sums are provided from local sources, are nearly all manufactur- ed in Canada, and are better executed at lower prices than imported articles of the same kind. The globes and maps manufactured (even to the material) in Ca- nada, contain the latest discoveries of voyagers and travellers, and are executed in the best manner, as are tellurians, mechanical powers, numeral frames, geo- metrical forms, &c. All this has been done by em- ploying competitive private skill and enterprise. 1 he Department has furnished the manufacturers with the copies and models, purchasing certain quantities of the articles when manufactured at stipulated prices, then permitting and encouraging them to manufacture and dispose of these articles themselves to any private parties desiring them, as the Department supplies them only to municipal and school authorities. In this way new domestic manufactures are introduced, and mechanical and artistic skill and enterprise are encou- raged, and many aids to school and domestic instruc- tion, heretofore unknown among us, or only attainable in particular cases witli difficulty and at great ex- pense, are now easily and cheaply accessible to private families, as well as to public municipal and school authorities all over the country. It is also worthy ot remark, that this important branch of the Educational Department is self-supporting. All the expenses of it Almanac. 1804.] EDUCATION — TIPPER CANADA. 127 are reckoned in the cost of the articles and hooks pro- cured : so that it does not cost either the public reve- nue or school fund a penny beyond what is appor- tioned to the municipalities and school sections pro- viding a like sum or sums for the purchase of books, maps, globes, and various articles of school apparatus. 1 know of no other instance In either the United States or in Europe, of a branch of a public depart- ment of this kind, conferring so great a benefit upon the public, and without adding to public expenses.” In connection with the foregoing, it maj be interest- ing to show what has been the extent or the demand for books in Canada during the last twelve years. The facts are highly encouraging, and speak well for the prevalence of an enlightened literary taste and grow- ing intelligence among the various classes of the people.

Text Books, Maps, and Apparatus used in the Schools — The Bible and Prayers . — In regard to the text- books, &c., the Chief Superintendent also remarks as follows: — “ 1. The series of National Canadian Text- books (adopted and adapted from those of the Irish National Board) are now so universally used in our schools, that the detailed table on this subject is not repeated. It is worthy of remark that the text-books specially prepared and adapted for the Canadian schools are rapidly superseding those for which they were intended as substitutes. “ On the adoption of the decimal system of currency in Canada it was felt that the National arithmetics should be adapted to it. This task was undertaken by Mr. Sangster, the mathematical master of the Normal school, who has compiled both a large and a small arithmetic, upon the plan of the National Arithmetic, greatly improved and illustrated by examples taken from Canadian statistics. These arithmetics, published by the enterprise of Mr. Lovell, are already used in 1.906 schools — being an increase of 782 schools during the year : while the use of the old National Arithmetic has decreased during the year to the extent of 734 schools. ”2. The same remark applies to Mr. Lovell's Cana- dian Geography, compiled by Mr. Hodgins, and in- fended to supersede Morse’s Geography, which had heretofore been permitted in the schools in the ab- sence of one better adapted for their use. The use of Morse's Geography has been discontinued in 703 schools during the year, while Lovell’s General Geo- graphy has been introduced into 818 schools — being now used in 1,864 schools. “ 3. The Avhole number of schools using maps is 2,965 — Increase, 145; the number of schools using globes is 1,017 — increase, 91 ; the number of schools using black- boards is 3,526 — increase, 184. The whole number of maps used in the schools is 21,976 — increase, 1,309. ”4. The number of schools opened and closed with prayer was 2,576— increase, 195. The number of schools m which the Bible or Testament is used was 2.922 — increa.se, 43; being nearly three-fourths of all the Common schools in Upper Canada.” (6) The Superannuated or Worn-out Teachers.— 1. The Legislature has apportioned $4,000 per annum in aid of superannuated or worn-out Common School teachers. '1 he allowance cannot exceed $6 per annum for each year that the recipient has taught a Common school in Upper Canada. Each recipient must pay $4 for the current year, or $5 for each past year, since 1854, into the fund; nor can any teacher share in the fund miles 3 he pays annually at* that rate to the fund, commencing with the time of his beginning to teach, or with 1854 (when the system Was established), if he began to teach before that time. If a teacher lias not paid his subscription annually, he must pay at the rate of $5 per annum for past time, in order to be entitled to share in the fund when worn out. 209 teachers have been admitted to receive aid from this fund; of whom 88 have died before or during the year 1862. The average age of each pensioner was 66£ years. it . — normal and model schools. The establishment of a Normal school as necessary to the completion of a national system of education, engaged public attention in 1836; but nothing was accomplished until after the appointment, in 1844, of the rev. Dr. Everson, as Superintendent, of Education. In February 1846, l>r. Ryerson, after investigating the systems of education in Europe and the United States, submitted to Government his report on a Sys- tem of Elementary education for Upper Canada, and a draft of a School bill, which obtained the assent of Parliament, 23rd May 1846. On the 1st July following, the Board of Education (now Council of Public Instruc- tion) was appointed, for the purpose of establishing the Normal and Model schools, and selecting text-books for the Common schools of the Province. ' By agreement with the Government, the old Government house of Upper Canada, at Toronto, was granted for the use of the Normal school, until the erection of proper build- ings ; and after the completion of the necessary arrange- ments, the institution was formally opened for the ad- mission of students on the lsLNovcmber 1847. The following year the Boys’ Model school was opened. On the removal of the Seat of Government from Mont- real to Toronto, in 1849, measures were adopted for the immediate erection of buildings for the institution. Accordingly, the Legislature, in 1850, appropriated £15,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of build- ings, and an additional £10,000 in 1852— making in all £25,000. The corner stone of the new buildings was laid on the 2nd .July, 1851, by His Excellency Lord Elgin, and the premises were formally opened 'on the 24th November 1862. A Girls’ Model school was added in this year. The institution consists of a Normal school and two Model schools: the former, the School of Instruction by Lecture; the latter, the School of Instruction by Practice. The students in the former are young per- sons whose ages vary from 16 or 18 to 30 and over ; wliile the pupils in the latter are children between the ages of 5 and 16 years. In tin* Normal school, the teachers in training are instructed in the various English branches, as well as in the principles of education, and the best methods of communicating knowledge to the youth placed under their care, — are “ taught how to teach”; and in the Model schools they are taught to give practical effect to those instructions, under the direc- tion of teachers previously trained in the Normal school. The Model schools are designed, by both the system of instruction pursued, and the general arrangement, to be the model for the public schools of the Province. In the admissions to the Normal school all the Coun- ties in Upper Canada have been represented.— The number of applications for admission during the two sessions of 1862 was 341 ; the number admitted was 283. The number who (after an examination of several days, on paper, at the close of each session, on all the subjects taught, and as to their ability and skill in teaching and governing a school) received Provincial certificates, was 191. Teachers from the Normal school have given a tone and character to Common school teaching gen- erally; the demand for them increases yearly; and thus the influence of the Normal school is felt through- out Upper Canada in the improved methods of school organization and teaching, as well as in the qualifica- tions, character, and position of teachers.

Grammar schools were first established in Upper Canada in 1807, under the name of “ district schools. The number established in that year was eight— or one each for the eight districts into which the 1 rovmce was then divided. , . In 1855, the present County Grammar school system was established. It was designed to form a link be- tween the common school and the university, and was intended to provide facilities for giving “instruction in the higher branches of a practical English and com- mercial education, inpluding the elements of mechanics and natural philosophy, and also in the Greek and La- tin languages, and in mathematics, so far as to prepare students for University College, or any college affiliated to the University of Toronto.”* . The course of study in these schools, and the general regulations for their management, are prescribed by the Council of Public Instruction for Upper Canada. Masters must either be graduates of some university, or possess a certificate of qualification from a commit- tee of examiners appointed by the Council of Public Instruction. Pupils, on entering a Grammar school, are required to pass a preliminary examination in “reading, writing, spelling; simple and compound rules of arithmetic, reduction and simple proportion; elements of English grammar and parsing; definitions and outlines of geography. ’ ’ There are four grammar school terms in each year, and the fees are determined bv the local boards of trustees. The members of these boards are appointed by the County councils. In 1862 there were ninety-one grammar schools in Upper Can- ada, attended by 4,982 pupils, and supported at a cost of $90,090, including a Legislative grant of $39,111. The total number of educational institutions ot all kinds, reported by the Educational Department as in operation in Upper Canada during 1862, was 4,554, attended by 357,572 pupils, and expending $1,703,216 in their support.

Contemporaneous with and indicative of the growth and development of the educational system of up HI , ^ iucauuiiiu oj'oiv,... . Canada, has been the history of the department itseii. Originally a branch of the Provincial Secret) ary s de- partment (who was, ex officio, chief superintendent of education), with an assistant superintendent and a clerk, it has gradually expanded into a fishnet , antt important branch of the public service. It £°w °ccu- pies, with its three excellent accessory schools, a hana some structure, which was specially erected by author- ity of the Legislature for that purpose. Almanac. 1864.] EDUCATION — UPPER CANADA 129 The Education Oihce was first opened in 1841 at Kingston, the then seat of Government. In 1844 it was, for convenience, removed to Cobourg (one hun- dred miles further west), and in 1840 to a building ad- joining the old Government house, at Toronto. In 1852 it was removed to the new buildings, which were erected on a square facing on Gould, Church, Gerrard, and Victoria streets, which is now nearly in the heart of the city. The duties devolving upon the Educational Depart- ment include those relating to the general administra- tion of the Common and Grammar school laws; the giving of explanations to municipal councils, local su- perintendents, school trustees, teachers, and others, on doubtful points of law and modes of proceeding; de- cisions on appeals and complaints; auditing municipal school accounts; the oversight of the Normal and Model, Grammar and Common schools, and the grant- ing of provincial certificates to teachers; paying and accounting for all the legislative grants for Grammar, During the years.... 1850. 1851. 1852. 1853. 1854.

The University of Toronto . — The University of To- ronto was established by Royal charter, of the 15th of March 1827, under the title of “ King’s College.” The following year, 3rd of January 1828, it was endowed, by patent, with a grant of the lands which had been set apart for that purpose by the Crown in 1798, at the request of the Parliament of Upper Canada. The arrangements having been completed for opening the University, the formal inauguration of the institution and first admission of students, took place on the 8th of June 1843, and its first convocation on the 14th December 1844. Various acts relating to the University have been assed by the Provincial Parliaments. In 1853, Par- ament passed another Act (16 Victoria, cap. 89), separating the functions of the University from those assigned to it as a College,” and abolishing the profes- sorships of law and medicine, and the rights and pri- vileges of the Convocation, which had been guaranteed in the original charter, and continued and enlarged by the Act of 1849. Under this present Act the Uni- versity of Toronto is modelled after the University of London, England, and is governed by a Senate appointed by the Crown. Its functions consist in pre- scribing courses of study in the faculties of law, med- icine, and arte, and such other branches of knowledge as may be determined ; appointing examiners for as- certaining the proficiency of persons desirous of lit- erary distinction in the appointed subjects of study; and conferring the appropriate academical degrees and honors upon such as attain the required profi- ciency, and comply with the prescribed regulations. The officers of the Senate are, a chancellor, ap- ointed by the Crown, and a vice-chancellor, elected y the Senate from amongst its members. There are no professorships in the University. Examiners are appointed annually by the Senate, in law, in med- icine, and in arte, who hold examinations at such times in each year as the Senate may appoint. In addition Common and Separate schools, and for the Normal school, the Educational depositorv, the Museum, pen- sions to superannuated teachers, and other services, providing teachers’ registers, blank reports, and re- turns for trustees, local superintendents, clerks, and treasurers of municipalities, and the Journal of Edu- cation (besides editing it) to each local superintendent and school corporation in Upper Canada, the prepara- tion of the annual report of the Chief Superintendent, general correspondence relating to the promotion of education, &c. Educational Museum .— Connected with the Educa- tional Department is a museum, containing specimens of school apparatus and furniture; a valuable collec- tion of Italian, Dutch, and Flemish oil paintings, and statuary casts and busts. The museum is freely open to the public.

University College , Toronto.— On the first establish- ment of the Provincial University, the functions of in- struction as well as of determining the standard ol Qualifications for University honors and degrees were combined in the one institution, and were so continued under the University Act of 1849. With a view oi adapting the constitution of the University to a sys- tem of affiliated colleges, the Act 16 Victoria, cap. 89, separated these functions, and established University College as a distinct collegiate institution from the University of Toronto, and under the government ot a College Council, composed of a president, vice-presi- dent. and professors. By the same Act it is provided, that there shall be taught in the said College such sci- ences, arts, and branches of knowledge as the Council may, from time to time, determine, and as may be in accordance with the statutes of the University of lo- ronto, respecting the prescribed subjects for examina- tion.

Upper Canada College and Royal Grammar School, in connection icith the University of Toronto.— This College was established in the year 1829, by the then Lieut-Governor of Upper Canada, Sir John Colborne, (the late Lord Seaton), as an institution for general education, and which might fitly prepare the way for, and ultimately assist in filling, the Provincial Univer- sity, then onlv projected. Having first obtained the concurrence of the College Council to the establish- ment of a Royal Grammar School, he submitted to Parliament a plan for its connection with the Univer- sity ; and his proposal having been acceded to, the title of the Royal Grammar School was changed to that of Upper Canada College, and the institution opened for the purposes of tuition on the 4th January 1830. The institution stands in the same relation to the Univer- sity, as the Preparatory and High schools of other Universities, although supported by an endowment of its own, besides the ordinary tees from pupils. At present it is placed under the management of the Sen- ate of the University of Toronto; but the principal, masters, and teachers are appointed by the Governor. Prizes of books and certificates of honor are given every year to those who distinguish themselves in any of the subjects taught in the College. His Excellency the Governor General offers annually a valuable prize of books for the best examinations m the higher de- partments of the College curriculum. At the annual public examination in July exhibitions are competed for, varying in value from $120 to $40 per annum. Com pet it ion for them all is open to the grammar schools of the whole Province. More than 2,500 of the youth of the Province have received their education, in whole or in part, in Upper Canada College. The first classi- cal, and the mathematical masters, were pupils of the institution, as were likewise the greater portion of the medal-men, scholars, and honor-men of our Univer- sities. George R. R.

University of Victoria College, Cohourg.— The exist- ence of this College is due to the efforts of the Confe- rence of the W esle van Methodist Church. During the years 1828 and 1829, plans were devised for the establishment of an Academy for the superior educa- tion of both sexes; and in 1830, the Conference ap- pointed a committee to collect subscriptions, and select a site for the proposed institution, which they then named Upper Canada Academy. After offers of donations of land and money from various parts of the Province, the town of Cobourg was selected, for the liberality of its offer and central position. Upwards of $28,000 were collected, and in the autumn of 1832 the buildings were commenced Various circumstances, however, delayed the comple tion of the work; and it was not until the 18th June 1836, that the Academy was formally opened. On the 12th October of the same year, a Royal charter of in- corporation was obtained; and also, about the same time, a public grant, principally through the exertions of the chief originator of the college, the rev. Eger- ton ltyerson, D.D., LL.D. In 1841 application was made to Parliament for an alteration in the constitu- tion of the academy, and its establishment as a uni- versity ; and accordingly the Act 4 and 5 Victoria, cap. 37, was passed, conferring the usual University powers upon its authorities, under the title of “ Victoria Col- lege at Cobourg.” Under this Act the management of the college is entrusted to a board, composed of nine trustees and five visitors appointed by the Conference, and to a senate, composed of the president, professors, members of the board, and certain officers of Govern- ment, for the time being. The Faculty of Arts has been in operation since 1842. In 1854 an arrangement was made with the Toronto School of Medicine, by which that institution became the Faculty of Medicine of the University; and in 1862 a Faculty of Law was added to the University. The High school, or prepar- atory department, sustains to the College the relation of a Grammar or High school, and is designed to qual- ify pupils for the University course, or to give them an elementary training in any or all of the following sub- jects, viz. : arithmetic, geography, history, English grammar, reading, penmanship, book-keeping, alge- bra, natural philosophy, French, Latin, and Greek languages. Students presenting themselves for admis- sion into this department, are classed according to their attainments, and instructed in such branches as are deemed most suitable. No religious tests are pre- scribed ; but all students are required to attend divine service on the Sabbath, in connection with whatever church they or their parents prefer. They are also re- quired to attend prayers, with the reading of the Scrip- tures, in the College chapel, in the morning and even- ing of each day. The institution is supported by the sale of scholarships, fees, and an annual Parliamentary grant. Its landed endowment income is limited by the charter of incorporation to £2,000 sterling per annum. It has no permanent endowment, and is sup- ported by voluntary contributions and fees, s yjJPP*!^" mented by an annual Parliamentary grant of $5,000; also $1,000 to the Faculty of Medicine. Its annual in- come from these sources (not including the Medical Faculty ) amounts to about $9,500. The number of pro- fessors and tutors in the Faculties of Arts and Medi- cine, including the president, is fourteen. Tim num- ber of students is aoout two hundred, not including preparatory students. The Prince of Wales’ gold and silver medals, ana three or more prizes in books, are annually distributed among the most deserving students. In the Medical Faculty there are two scholarships of $100 each. University Senate. — Rev. S. S.

University of Queen's College, Kingston. — Queen's College was established by the Synod of the Presbyte- rian Church of Canada, in connection with the Church of Scotland, and was originally incorporated by an act of the Parliament of Upper Canada, 3 Viet, cap 35, as The University at Kingston. This act, however, was disallowed, and a Royai Charter granted the following year, bearing date 10th October 1841, and conferring the title of “ Queen's College at Kingston," with power to confer degrees in the several arts and faculties. No religious test or qualification is required of persons matriculated or admitted to a degree, “ save only that all persons admitted within the said College to any de- gree in Divinity, shall make the same declarations and subscriptions as are required of persons admitted to any degree in Divinity in the University of Edin- burgh." The management of the institution is en- trusted to twenty-seven trustees— twelve clergymen and fifteen laymen— appointed by the Synod of the Church ; and to a College Senate, composed of the prin- cipal and professors for the time being. In 1846 the property originally vested in the corporation created by the disallowed Act of 1840, was transferred to the corporation of Queen’s College by the Act of 9 Vic., cap. 89. The institution is supported by income from endowment, a grant from the Legislature, sub- scriptions, and assistance from Church funds. By the charter its income may be 1 15,000 sterling per annum. It is the only University in Upper Canada which con- tains the four faculties of arts, theology, law and med- icine. Its endowment fund amounts to $101,738, and its annual income to about $13,300, including a Parlia- mentary grant of $5,000 to the Faculty of Arts, and $1,000 to the Faculty of Medicine, and $1,703 from the Colonial committee of the Church of Scotland to the Faculty of Theology. The number of professors in the several faculties is eighteen, including the prin- cipal. The number of students is about one hundred and eighty. Principal: the very rev. Wm. Leitch, D.D.

The total number of pupils who had graduated was as follows : At the Jacques Cartier school 79 At the McGill school 167 At the Laval school 160 Besides carrying into effect the several provisions of the laws above mentioned, Mr. Chauveau has also re- organized the department by the appointment of more clerks, and a better division of labor; assisted in the creation of the Association of Teachers in connection with the Normal schools; caused the distribution of prize-books by the inspectors on their visits; and rormod a departmental library, winch numbers about 9,000 volumes. The pecuniary responsibilities, as well as the corres- ondence and general business of the department, has een greatly increased, and both are still daily increas- ing. In the year 1862, the sum of $256,769 was distributed under the following heads: Common School fund, $112,054 ; Superior Education, $69,888 ; Normal schools, $36,888; Journals of Education, $2,839; Government grant, $1,800; Teachers’ Tension fund, $2,464; Depart- mental Library, $1,797; Toor Municipalities, $3,913; School Inspectors, $19,025; Prize Books, $1,522; Con- tingencies, $6,224. Separate accounts, with vouchers, in duplicate, are kept for each of these heads o* expenditure, and the payments take place through an immense number of small checks. The following registers have to be kept: a register of the election and appointment of school commission- ers and school trustees; a register of the appointment of members of boards of examiners; a register of the diplomas granted to teachers by the boards of examin- ers; three registers of the Normal school diplomas; a register of the daily correspondence; a register of spe- cial reports to the executive government; a register of the erection or separation of school municipalities; a register of the decisions given or sentences adduced by the superintendent on appeals in the settlement of accounts between the school commissioners and their secretary-treasurers, on the appeals from the decisions of the school commissioners as to the formation of school districts, and oil the selection of school sites : also of the documents authorizing the sale of school property by school authorities ; and lastly, a register of the proceedings of the council of public instruction. The importance of the work in the statistical depart- ment appears by the publication of the annual report. The correspondence is kept on fyles, each case re- ceiving a number which it retains until it is termin- ated. The fyles for 1863 have reached 3,300, each con- taining on an average three drafts of letters. Besides the mailing of several thousand copies of the annual report, and of the Journals of Education, numerous blanks and documents are daily sent and received. The number of letters and documents sent in 1862 was 11,738; the number received, 8,275. In 1863 the former have reached 14,500, and the latter 8.761. The legislation which has taken place since 1856 has been chiefly to define the powers of the department and those of the council of public instruction. The council was organized on the 16th of December 1859. Its chief attributes are the forming of rules and reg- ulations for school discipline, the selection of books, maps, &c., to be used in schools, to the exclusion of all others; to provide rules for the classification of schools and of teachers; to provide for the organiza- tion and government of boards of examiners, and for all matters concerning the granting of diplomas to teachers; and lastly, to revoke the said diplomas on trial of the accused in cases of immorality or neglect of duty. The council has appointed three standing commit- tees : one for the forming and maintaining of rules for its own internal discipline, one for the selection of books for schools, and a third for the forming of rules and regulations for the various objects above men- tioned. In order to meet the difficulty which always occurs in the selection of school books from the fact that even books of purely secular instruction are often more or less tainted with the religious views of their authors, the Council have agreed that the recommendations from the Committee on books will be of three different natures: books are recommended either by the whole Committee, or by the Trotestant members, or by the Catholic members only. The committee of approval mention the facts whereby parents and teachers are made aware of the religious tendency of the books. The Council have adopted rules and regulations for the guidance of Boards ot Examiners with programmes, which can be obtained in pamphlet form by applying to the Education office or to any of the Inspectors of Schools. (*) The local jurisdiction of the Boards has been defined, and six of them only, viz., the Trotestant and Catholic Boards of Quebec and of Montreal, the Boards of Sher- brooke and of Three Rivers, have the power of granting diplomas for Academies and for Model Schools. file difference between these diplomas or certificates and those granted by the Superintendent to the pupils of the Normal Schools is that the former are only good for the space of three years and over a limited portion of Lower Canada, while the latter confer the power of teaching in the whole extent of Lower Canada and need not be renewed. It has been found that under these new rules and regulations a great advance has already been made in the qualifications of teachers, and the department has been enforcing the law more rigidly. Municipalities employing unlicensed teachers lose the annual govern- ment grant. (*) Trice 25 cts. 188 EDUCATION LOWER CANADA. [ 1864 . B. N. A.

In that document, published by order of Parliament, the Superintendent strives first to estab- lish the importance of inspection, and quotes the au- thority of statesmen of other countries. Among others the following passage from Mr. Guizot’s Memoirs is to be found in the said report: — “ Another plan, unforeseen and difficult of execu- tion, appeared to me necessary in order to establish relations with the teachers dispersed throughout France, to know them really and to act upon them in other ways than by casual and empty words. One month after the promulgation of the new law, I order- ed a general inspection of all the elementary schools in the kingdom, public or private. I desired not only to verify the external and material facts which usually form the object of statistical inquiries on the question of primary instruction, — such as the number of schools and scholars, their classification, their age, and the incidental expenses of the service,— but I particularly directed the Inspector to study the interior economy of the schools, the aptitude, zeal, and conduct of the teachers, their relations with the pupils, the families, and the local authorities, civil and religious ; in a word, the moral state of that branch of education, and its results. Facts of this nature cannot be ascertained at a distance, by means of correspondence, or descriptions. Special visits, personal communication, and a close examination of men and things, are indispensable to this just estimate and understanding. Four hundred and ninety persons, the greater number of whom were functionaries of every order in the university, gave themselves up during four months to this arduous investigation. Thirty-three thousand four hundred and fifty-six schools were actually visited, and minutely described in the Reports addressed to me by the In- spectors. One amongst the number, with whose rare anility and indefatigable zeal I had long been familiar, Mr. Lorain, now an honorary rector, drew up from these collected Reports a table of elementary instruc- tions in France in 1833, even more remarkable for the moral and practicable views therein developed, than for the number and variety of the facts comprised. This laborious undertaking not only had the effect of giving me a more complete and precise knowledge of the con- dition and real necessities of elementary instruction, but it furnished the public, in the most remote corners of the country, with a living instance of the active soli- citude of the Government for popular education. At the same time it powerfully stimulated the teachers, bv impressing on them a sense of the interest attached to their office, and of the vigilance with which they were overlooked. _ “ Two years later, on my proposition, a Royal decree transformed this casual and single inspection of the Elementarv Schools into a permanent arrangement. In every district an Inspector was appointed to visit the schools at stated periods, and to communicate fully to the Minister, the Rectors, the Prefects, and the General and Municipal Councils their condition and wants. , , . . “ Since that time, and throughout repeated debates, whether in the Chambers or in the Local and Elective Councils, the utility of this institution has become so apparent, that, at the request of a majority of the councils, an Inspector has been established in every district, and the periodical inspection of Elementary Schools has taken its place in the administration of public instruction as one of the most effective guaran- tees of their sufficiency and progress.” The Superintendent thus concludes. “ I recapitulate as follows : — I should prefer some im- provement of the present system to any actual change, as I have shewn at the close of the lirst section of this report ; 2. The reduction of the number of inspectors, so as to increase the amount of remuneration and yet to diminish the actual expenditure, seems to me very difficult to be effected. Assuming such a reduction, 1 should recommend the plan set forth in table l>. Twelve districts, instead of ten laid down in the table, would seem preferable, and afford room to dimmish the extent of Districts 3, 6, and 7. But in that case it would be requisite either to lower the proposed rates of salaries, or otherwise to give up the hope of any saving. With twelve inspectors and the following scale of salaries, $1,200, $1,400, and $ 1 , 600 , we should roach $16,300, and effect a saving of rather more than $600. I fear the ab®ve rates of salary would be too Almanac. 1864.] EDUCATION — LOWER CANADA 139 low. It would be found necessary to turn to the con- sideration of another system of remuneration, that of allowing so much for fees for each school visitation, and so much for travelling expenses per day when absent from place of residence. 3. It does not appear to me practicable, in the present state of the municipal system of Lower Canaria and of the law respecting public instruction, to relieve this department from the expense and labor of the inspection of schools, and it is my sincere conviction, that for a long time to come, no system of purely municipal inspection can be brought to work with advantage." The following is a recapitulation of all the educa- tional institutions of Lower Canada. The Superior schools comprise Universities and schools of Law and of Medicine; Secondary schools are Classical col- leges, Industrial colleges, and Academics; Special schools are Deaf and Dumb institutes, schools of Ag- riculture, and schools of Arts and Manufactures; and Primary schools comprise Model and Elementary schools, fhe Model schools receive from $70 to $100 from the Superior Education fund. Some of the large Charity schools in the town receive larger grants. Divisions. Schools Teachers. Pupils.

From an order passed by the joint committee of the two Houses of Parliament on printing, this information is published at full length only every third year. All the other fig- ures are from the last annual report. Since the compilation of the following tables a few institutions have been established, among which we notice “ Morrin College," at Quebec ; the “Academy St. Denis," by the ladies of the congregation Notre Dame, at Montreal ; and a School of Agriculture, at St. Th6- r5se of Blainville. Morrin College is affiliated to the McGill University, and is installed in the fine building known as the Free- masons’ Hall, in Quebec. It was founded chiefly by a bequest of the late Dr. Morrin, for a period of many years one of the ablest and most esteemed physicians of Quebec. The “Academy St. Denis" is a day school, of a su- perior character, which the ladies of the congregation of Notre Dame have opened in Montreal. It is attended by over 100 pupils. The School of Agriculture of St. Th6r5se de Blain- ville is acting, in the district of Montreal, the same art as the school at Ste. Anne, in the district of Que- ec. There is a model farm attached to the establish- ment. The Lower Canada Board of Agriculture has just now founded nineteen scholarships, to be divided between the two schools, and to be given to competi- tors one in each of the judiciary districts. The pre- sentation devolves on a meeting of the presidents of the county agricultural associations in each district. Each scholarship is fixed at $50. SUPERIOR SCHOOLS. Institutions.

The Island is healthy, and is surrounded by scenery of a very picturesque character. It is two and a half miles in length, and about a mile in width. A solid, substantial wharfhasbeen built, having a depth of seventeen feet at low water, at which vessels or steamers mav land or embark passengers. This Island is the pro- perty of the Province, and is wholly devoted to quaran- tine purposes. No persons but those belonging, or necessary to the establishment, are allowed to reside on the Island, or to visit it without a pass from the provincial secretary at Quebec. Emigrant ships arriv- ing in Canada are rigorously compelled to stop at Grosse Isle until inspected by the medical superintend- ent, and the passengers passed clean and healthy. A large warehouse, as well as ample sheds, and every re- quisite appliance, are provided on the western extrem- ity of the Island foremigrants ordered, by the medical superintendent, to land from on board of vessels in which malignant or contagious diseases may have made their appearance during the voyage, and for the clean- sing and purification or their luggage. There are hos- I itals situated at the eastern end of the Island ; the esidence of the principal officers being in the centre, io communication is permitted between the two ex- remities of the Island, unless a written pass is granted v the superintendent. Two clergymen, respectively f the Church of England and the Roman Catholic fflurch, are stationed at the establishment during the eason of navigation. A provision dealer is allowed o contract, under certain conditions, to furnish sup- ilies for the Island. A small force of police is con- tantlv on the Island while the establishment is m iperation. There is no post office; but letters, whether o persons connected with the quarantine, or to jers, are forwarded regularly twice a week through the jmigrant office in Quebec — a steamer being annually mgaged to maintain constant, but only authorized, jommunication between Quebec and Grosse Isle. Dis* ance from Quebec about 29 miles. Geo.M. Douglas, M.D., medical supt. : A.

The following review of the Bank statements for September is condensed from an article in the Mont- real Witness: The auditor’s summary of Bank statements for Sept. 1863 gives results as follows : — Capital paid up $26,807,642 Deducting $1,849,334 for the capital of the Bank of B. N. A. not employed in this Province, we find a to- tal Bank capital of $24,958,308 for Canada, which is an increase of $26,000 over that of last month. Circulation $10,121,221 Due to other Banks 648,306 Deposits not bearing interest 11,216,590 Deposits bearing interest 10,904,879 Total liabilities $32,890,996 1 ASSETS.

As that in* rest, in the way of capital amounts to S24,9;>8,3< 8 K ppears there is a surplus over and above capital oi 277,094. The greater part of this consists ot reserve mds or rests,— the balance being made up ot unpaia iv-ivinnrii nmi undivided urofits of the current haii- year. Almanac. 1864.] BANKS — CANADA. 173 Comparison of the present return with former ones In circulation there is a large increase. On 31st Aug ’ it was $9,097,000; on 30th Sept, it reached $10,121 221- the increase being a little more than a million dollars, or 11 per cent. Between the lowest point reached this year, viz., on 30th June, and the present, there is an increase ol $1,300,000, which is in great part due to sums paid out for produce. The movement of circula- tion this summer has been very different from that of last year. Then, the lowest point was touched on 31st August, and the increase which took place in Septem- ber only brought the circulation up to the point it occupied on 30th June. This year, the lowest point was reached on the 30th June; from which date there has been a gradual rise. The increase in September of last year was $581,000 only; this year it is $1,024,000; which indicates a lar more active business in produce’. But even with this large increase, the total amount ' a u lort °* the same period of last year by $518,000. As the circulation at this period is indicative of the business done in the way of forwarding crops to the market, we give a statement of its amount for several years past, in the months of August and September : — -« qc q August. September. Increase. 8,688,000 9,882,000 1,194,000 8,516,000 9,921,000 1,405,000 }860 10,739,000 12 998,000 2,259,000 1861 12,044,000 13,291,000 1,247,000 1862 10,058,000 10,639,000 581,000 1888 9,097,000 10,121,000 1,024,000 1 he year 1860 stands preeminent for the amount of business done ; it was most unfortunately preeminent, also, for the number and amount of disasters occasion- ed by it. The circumstances of the present season are peculiar. Along with an almost total cessation of de- mand tor wheat and flour from England,— owing to the abundant crops there, we have seen an active demand spring up from the States for the liner qua- lities of the same articles, and also for a grain that was formerly held scarcely to be of any account, namely barley. Large quantities of this grain have been brought to market and shipped, at prices which would have been deemed fabulous a tew years ago. ■ mfe 68 ^ 116 to other Banks have been reduced from $1,218,000 to $648,000. The amount of reduction is very large, and a considerable part is shewn in the return ot the Bank of Upper Canada, which owed other ofy. k o ^8,000 on 31st August; but only $147,000 on 30th kept. I he Commercial Bank decreased also under this head $111,000. Deposits exhibit a considerable increase. Last month they amounted to $21,327,000, this month they have risen to $22,121,000; the largest amount ever returned under this head. Ihe steady and gradual increase of the total deposit line, is a very gratifying circumstance, and points to an accumulation of capital in the coun- ty. which will have much to do with lowering the rate of interest on money, and developing the resources of the country in an economical manner.— Hitherto there has been a good deal of neglect in this last particular. Money has been borrowed at high rates for the exten- sion of agricultural operations, milling, manufactures and what not, all good in themselves, but which may be purchased at too great a price. The consequence is that vast numbers of farms, mills, stores, Ac have cost far more than they are worth, and though a fu- ture generation may reap the benetit, the people of the present have been in many instances ruined There are villages in which the property is mortgaged for probably more than the whole place would sell for at the present moment; and mainly on account of the money borrowed being at such a heavy rate of interest that fresh mortgages had to be taken in addition to the original ones in order to provide for it Turning from liabilities to assets, the first item is wind. 1 has increased from $6,913,000 to $7,24< ,000. J his increase was not necessary in order to keep the banks strong, for they had abundance pre- viously; and now the Bank of Montreal has conside- rably more specie than its circulation. For every dollar of bills out, it has a dollar in gold, and a good deal to spare. The other banks, too, are mostly in a very good position in this respect, and a lew are nearly as strong in specie as the Bank of Montreal. We hope they may continue so to be, and do not know of any reason to prevent it. su bj oine d statement is for the month of October 1863.

The road was opened with horses in July, 1836, and first worked with locomotives in 1837. The first railway in Upper Canada on which locomotives were used was the Northern, from Toronto to Bradford, opened in June, 1853. Up to the close of 1858, there had been constructed in Canada 1,614 miles of railway, of which 1,575 miles were in operation. In 1859, the Cobourg and Peter- borough Railway, 28 miles, was re-opened, and 248 miles of new lines were completed, inspected, and opened; and 29 miles in 1860, making a total of 1,880 miles of railway in operation on the 1st January 1861, under 16 different corporations. The number of miles constructed each year is shown by the following table : — Constructed at time of Census, 12th Jan. 1852.. . 91.76 In 1852 98 1853 212 1854 329.75 1855 236.14 1856 437 1857 69 1858 140.50 1859 248.79 1860 29.02 1,891.96 Prescott and Berlin, not open 11 In operation, 1st January 1861 1,880.96 CANADA.

Three Rivers is the seat of a Roman Catholic bishop: anTthc cariie^al recently erected, is one of the finest in British North America. 1 he improvement of the River St. Maurice n&Trft n ^ has additional im- petus and life to three Rivers; about $300,000 having rivm. in . ere !i ting booms and slides on the more tlmn&S f )00 a L tracted th .° investment of than ©2,(K)0,000 in lumber operations.

The Banks of Upper Canada, and Quebec, have their agencies here. There are also an ellicient Hook and Ladder Company, effi- cient lire companies, and a company of volunteer rifles. There is a Mechanics’ Institute, a reading room, an extensive college, and several first-class educational establishments. The causes that have hitherto militat- ed against the development of the numerous resources of to© District,— namely, the lack of railway com- munication. and the extent of impracticable naviga- tion of the St. Maurice in rear of the city,— the Govern- ment has taken measures to remove. The recent enact- ments for the relief of the Grand Trunk Railway pro- vide for a branch road connecting Three Rivers with Arihabaska; thus opening a direct communication W1 thhve New England States, all requiring lumber, and Ihree Rivers being the nearest and cheapest market whence they can obtain it. There is another Act, of Parliament providing for the construction ot a branch from Three Rivers to the Grand Tiles on the bt. Maurice, whence the river is navigable seventy miles further. This road will be a great boon to lumbermen, and facilitate the settlement of the coun- try. Phe famous Falls of Shawenegan, second only to those ot Niagara, are twenty-four miles from Three Rivers, and those ot the Grand M&re thirteen miles further up the St. Maurice. Mail daily.

As the population’ of Upper Canada is increasing ranch more rapidly than that of Lower Canada, the question of representation is becoming a difficulty of formi- dable proportions. For several years back a system of representation according to population has been con- tended for bv a majority of the members from Western Canada, and as constantly opposed by the representa- tives from the eastern section, aided by a minority in Upper Canada. session of Parliament, on the 14th Aug., I8b3, the Hon. George Brown gave notice that he would move the following resolution • “ That on the 2nd February 1859, the Hon. George E. Cartier, the Hon. A. T. Galt, and the Hon. John Ross, toon members of the Executive Council of this Province, while in London, and acting on behalf of the Government of which they were members, did address a despatch to the Colonial Minister, in which they declared that very grave difficulties now present themselves in conducting the Government of Canada m such a manner as to show due regard to the wishes of its numerous population;— That ‘differences exist to an extent which prevents any perfect and complete assimilation ot the views of the two sections;’ — That ‘the progress of population has been more rapid in J , TT. es ^ p . rn . 8Gc ^ 10 . n » a,, d claims are now made on behalf of its inhabitants for giving them representa- 'im ir } Legislature in proportion to their numbers; I hat ‘the result is shown by an agitation fraught r progress o, „„ „ the necessity of providing a remedy for a state of things that is yearly becoming worse, and of allaying feelings that are daily being aggravated by the con- tention of political parties, has impressed the advisers ot Her Majesty’s Representative in Canada, with the importance of seeking for such a mode of dealing with tnese difficulties as may forever remove them.’— That a ©elect Committee of thirteen members be appointed to enquire and report on the important subjects em- braced in the said despatch, and the best means of remedying the evils therein set forth.” 1n ;) bon the resolution came before the House on the 12th Oct. 1863, the Hon. Mr. Brown is reported to nave said that he gave notice of this motion early in the session, and intended to bring it up on the first ntting opportunity; but ‘‘such had been the state of political parties during the session, that he did not feel justified m pressing the motion now, not because t ne subject was not of the very greatest importance to tins House and the country, but because it was con- sidered it would be doing an injustice to the question itself, to bring it up under the present circumstances.” Almanac. 1864.] OTTAWA CANAL — RECIPROCITY TREATY. 205 THE PROJECTED OTTAWA CANAL. Early in 1863, the state of Illinois addressed a memo- rial to the Canadian Government, urging it to take im- mediate steps for facilitating their communication with Europe. For this purpose it was suggested that a canal should be cut so as to connect Lake Nipissing with the River Ottawa, and thus establish an uninterrupted water communication between Chicago and the Atlan- tic. An elaborate survey of the whole was made by order of the Canadian Parliament, and a committee appointed to investigate the matter. The report of this committee was very encouraging. The following is an extract from the Report of the | Sub-Committee, (consisting of Messrs. II. L. ltouth, Chairman, lion. Geo. Moffatt, John Esdaile, Ira Gould, ! W. P. McLaren, Walter Shanly, J. II. Joseph, John | Grant, A. Cowan, and Tlios. Ryan,) nominated 19th March 1863, to the Committee of the Montreal Board of Trade appointed for the reception of the Delegates from Illinois and Wisconsin. “ Your Sub-Committee having carefully considered the important question referred to them — that of an im- proved navigable communication between Lake Huron and Michigan and the St. Lawrence River, as the out- let to the ocean,— now beg to report that they recom- mend as the most eligible route to be adopted, that surveyed in 1856-7 by Walter Shanly, Civil Engineer, and in 1858-9 by T. C. Clarke, Civil Engineer; namely, from the mouth of the French River, on the Georgian Bav, by way of Lake Nippismg and the Matawan and Ottawa Uivers to Montreal. The relative distances between the furthest west lake- port, Chicago, and our sea-port of Montreal by the existing (Welland Canal) route, and by the proposed new line of communication by the Ottawa, compare as follows : 1st. Welland Route. Miles. Lake Navigation 1,145 River “ 132 Canal “ 71 Total distance to Montreal 1348 2nd. Ottawa Route. Miles. Lake navigation (including Nippising) 575 River do 347 Canal do 58 Total distance Chicago to Montreal 980 Difference in favor of Ottawa Route 368 And carrying our comparisons a step further we have, from Chicago to New York. 3rd. The Erie Canal Route. Miles. Lake navigation Chicago to Buffalo 1000 Canal “ Buffalo to Troy 350 River “ Troy to New York 150 Total distance Chicago to New York 1500 “ Chicago to Montreal by the Ottawa 980 Difference of distance in favor of Montreal 520 Trans-Atlantic distances also compare favorably for us : Miles. New York to Liverpool 2980 Montreal to Liverpool 2740 Quebec to Liverpool 2580 Difference in favor of Montreal 240 And in favor of Quebec 400 Chicago to Liverpool by Lake Erie and New York 4480 Chicago to Liverpool by Ottawa and Gulf of St. Lawrence 3720 Difference in favor of Ottawa & Gulf Route 760 The leading advantages to be secured by such a line of interior navigation as it is proposed to open, are to be classed under the following heads : 1st. Time saved . — Because by this route grain could be taken from all ports on Lake Michigan and de- livered to sea-going vessels in Montreal two days sooner than by the Welland route, or than by any other route that can be constructed; and in fully eight days less time than required to lay down in the harbor of New York a cargo loaded in Chicago or Milwaukee. The better condition for tinal transfer to ocean vessels in which the grain will come to hand after the shorter as compared with the longer inland voyage is a point that will be conceded by all shippers, and is one of such moment that it should be prominently kept in view in contrasting the merits of the proposed route with the existing and more circuitous ones between Lake Michigan and tide-water. 2nd. Expenses saved.— In the item of Freight charges alone the Montreal or Quebec merchant purchasing grain in Chicago or Milwaukee, can effect an average saving of fully four cents, after allowing a liberal es- timate for tolls, on each bushel, as compared with what it now costs him to bring it round by way of the Welland Canal; while that which now goes from the same points to New York by way of Lake Erie and the Hudson, at. a cost, taking the average of the last eight years, of twenty-seven cents per bushel, can be delivered at the ship’s side in our harbor for 15 cents, or in Quebec for eighteen cents per bushel, and, as already observed, in superior shipping order, not only on account of the shorter time it has been afloat, but also owing to the more favorable atmospheric con- ditions to which it has been subjected, in its passage through the cooling waters of the Ottawa. As an index to wliat the saving in freight would amount to, even now, at the above differences in rates, we subjoin the following statement of grain, and flour reduced to grain, forwarded last year from Chicago, and received, by water only, at Montreal in 1862, and at New York in 1861. Forwarded from Chicago by Lake and Railroad, 56,477,104 bushels. Total receipts at Montreal by canal only, 15,227,878 bushels. Total receipts at New York from canals only, 55,905,344 bushels. According to Mr. Slianly’s scheme, with locks 250 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, the cost would be 824,000,000; but, reducing the locks to 8 leet deep, he gives 816,000,000; or reducing the size to 160 by 33ft., and 8 ft. deep, he gives 814,000,000. Mr. Clark’s estimates are much lower. For locks as long and deep as Mr. Shanly’s, and 45 wide, he gives 812,000,000, but this sum does not take into account enlarging the Lachine Canal, or removing obstructions in Lake St. Louis. THE RECIPROCITY TREATY. The Reciprocity Treaty entered into bv Great Bri- tain and the United States in 1854, which has an almost exclusive reference to the trade between Ca- nada and the Northern States, may be terminated in 1865, by giving notice in the summer of 1864. The treaty has proved beneficial to both parties, but it is expected that a revision will take place, it being alleg- ed that the lumbering interests of Michigan and Wis- consin, the manufacturing interests of Ohio and all the other Western States, as well as New York, and the carrying trade, are opposed to a continuance of the treaty.

THE GOLD MINES OF CANADA. (The following information has been furnished by the Geological Survey, and is chiefly extracted from the recently published volume, “ The Geology of Ca- nada”) The existence of gold in the sands of the Chaudiqre valley, to the south of Quebec, was, so far as we are aware, first announced to the world by General Bad- deley (then Lieutenant) of the Koyal Engineers, in the year 1835, and by him communicated to Prof. Silliman. (See American Journal of Science for that year; vol. xxviii. p. 112). In 1847, and the three or four years following, careful examinations were made in that re- gion by the Geological Survey, and it was found that the precious metal is not confined to the valley of the Chaudiere, but exists in the superficial deposits of a wide area. Full details will be found in the various reports of the Survey, as follows: 1847, pp. 73-80, and 103; 1849, pp. 67-69; 1850, pp. 6-11 ; 1851, pp. 21-27, and 129: 1852, pp. 70-72; 1853-’56, pp. 370, 371. The source of the gold throughout this extent ap- pears to have been the breaking up of the crystalline schists of the region, in which the metal has occasion- ally been met with. One example of this is in a vein of quartz, in the parish of St. Francis, on the Chau- diere, where native gold occurs with argentiferous ga- lena, arsenical pyrites, cubic iron pyrites, and sulphur- et of zinc, — the latter two ores containing a notable proportion of gold. This was first examined and de- scribed by the Geological Survey in 1853, and assays of the various ores will be found m the Report for that year. In 1862, another vein of quartz, about one hun- dred yards from this last, was opened, and has yielded very rich and beautiful specimens of native £old, also accompanied by arsenical pyrites. The precious metal occurs again not far from the Harvey Hill copper mine, in Leeds, at a locality known as Nutbrown’s shaft, which is sunk on a vein of bitter-spar, holding specu- lar iron, vitreous copper ore, and native gold, generally in small grains or scales. Some specimens from this locality, however, have weighed as much as a penny- weight, and have been found under similar circumstan- ces at the Halifax copper mine, and also at what is called the Chaudiere copper mine, in the rear of the seigniory of St. Giles, where it was found in 1863, in small f rains, disseminated through a quartz vein which had een opened in search of copper, and which contains vitreous copper ore. An assay of portions of this quartz by Dr. Hays, of Boston, has yielded at the rate of only 6| dwts. to the ton, and similar results have been obtained with the material from Halifax. The only at- tempts as yet made at gold-mining in Canada have been in the diluvial deposits. The crystalline schists of eastern Canada above noticed, may be traced south- westvvardly through New England, along the Appala- chian chain, to the State of Georgia, and furnish gold in greater or loss quantity in nearly every part of their extension. They constitute the great gold-bearing formation of eastern North America, which in its min- eralogical and lithological characters is similar to that of the western coast, and to those of Russia and Aus- tralia. These auriferous rocks in Canada belong for the greater part to the Quebec group, of Lower Silur- ian age; but some of the quartz veins containing old, are found cutting strata which are supposed to elong to the Upper Silurian period. The auriferous drift covers a wide area on the south side of the St. Lawrence, including the hill-country belonging to the Notre Dame range, and extending thence south and east to the boundary of the Province. These wide lim- its are assigned, inasmuch as although gold has not been everywhere found in this region, the same miner- alogical characters are met with throughout. In its continuation southward throughout Vermont, consid- erable quantities of gold have been obtained from the diluvial deposits. In Canada, gold has been found on the St. Francis River, from the vicinity of Mel- bourne, to Sherbrooke and Lennoxville, along the Magog River, as well as along the Masawippi; in the townships of YVestbury, YY r eedon, and Duds- well, and on Lako St. Francis. It has also been found on the Etcliemin, and on the Chaudiere and nearly all its tributaries, from the seigniory of St. Mary’s to the frontier of the state of Maine; including the Bras, the Guillaume, the Riviere des Plantes, the Ruisseaux Lessard, Dumoulin, and D’Ardoise, the Touffe des Pins, or Gilbert, the Famine, the Du Loup, Pozer’s Stream, the Ladyfair, Grando Coude, Metger- met, Traveller’s Rest, Portage, Kempt’s stream, Oli- ver’s Stream, and other tributaries of the Du Loup. It is probable that throughout all this region there is no square mile of the surface on which gold may not be found. Several attempts have been made to work these alluvial deposits for gold, in the seign- iories of Vaudreuil, Aubert-G allion, and Aubert de l’lsle, but they have been successively abandoned; and it is difficult to obtain authentic accounts of the results of the various workings; although it is known that very considerable quantities of gold were extract- ed. In the years 1851 and 1852, an experiment of this kind, on a considerable scale, was tried by the Canada Gold Mining Company, in the last named seigniory, on the Riviere du Loup, near its junction with the Chaudiere. The system adopted for the separation ot the gold from the gravel was similar to that used in Cornwall in washing for alluvial tin, and the water for the purpose was obtained from a small stream adjoin- ing. Great difficulties were, however, met with from a deficient supply of water during the summer months. The gravel from about three-eighths of an acre, with an average thickness of two feet, was washed during the summer of 1851, and yielded 2,107 pennyweights ot gold ; of which 160 were in the form of fine'dust, ming- led with about a ton of black iron-sand, the heavy resi- due of the washings. There were several pieces of gold weighing over an ounce. The value of this gold was $1,826, and the whole expenditure connected with the working, $1,643, leaving a profit of $182. In this ac- count is, however, included $500 lost by a flood, which swept away an unfinished dam ; so that the real diffe- rence between the amount of the wages and the value of the gold obtained should be stated at $682. The av- erage price of the labor employed was sixty cts. a day. In 1852, about five-eighths of an acre of gravel were washed at this place, and the total amount of gold ob- tained was 2,880 pennyweights, valued at $2,496. Of this, 307 pennyweights were in the form of fine dust mixed with tlie iron sand. A portion was also found in nuggets or rounded masses of considerable size. Nine of those weighed together 468 pennyweights, the largest being about 127, and the smallest about 11 pennyweights. Small portions of native platinum, and of iridosmine, were obtained in these washings, but their quantity was too small to be of any impor- tance. The washing season lasted from the twenty- fourth of May to the thirtieth of October, and the sura expended for labor was $1,888, leaving a profit of $608. A part of this expenditure was, however, for the con- struction of wooden conductors for bringing the water a distance of about 900 feet from the small stream. As this work would be available for several years to come, a proper allowance made for it would leave a profit in the year’s labor of above $680. It thus appears that from an acre of the gravel, with an average thickness of two feet, there were taken $4,323 of gold; while the expenses of labor, after deducting, as above, all which was not directly employed in extracting gold, were $2,947, leaving a profit of $1,366. The fineness of the gold dust of this region was 871 thousandths ; another sample in thin scales gave 892, and masses 864. A small nugget of gold from $.t. Francis gave 867 thousandths, the remainder in all cases being silver. Although the greater part of this gold was extracted from the gravel on the flats of the river side, a portion was obtained by washing the material taken from the banks above. As has been before remarked, the dis- tribution of the gold-bearing gravel over the surface of the country took place before the formation of the present water-courses, and the reason why the gravel from the beds of these is richer in gold than that which forms their banks, is that these rapid streams have subjected the earth to a partial washing, carrying away the lighter materials, and leaving the gold behind with the heavier matters. According to Mr. Blake, it is found in California, that the gold in the diluvial deposits which have not been subsequently disturbed by the streams, is not uniformly distributed, but is ac- cumulated here and there in quantities greater than in other places. It would seem that during the first deposition of the earth and gravel, the precious metal became in some parts accumulated in depressions of the Almanac. 1864.] GOLD MINES OF CANADA. 209 *urface-rock, constituting what are called pockets by the miners. It would appear from the facts here given that the quantity of gold in the valley of the Chaudtere is such as would be remunerative to skilled labor, and should encourage the outlay of capital. There is no reason for supposing that the proportion of the pre- cious metal to be round along the St. Francis, the Etchemin, and their various tributaries, is less consid- erable than that of the Chaudi&re, What is called the hydraulic method of washing de- posits of auriferous gravel is adoped on a great scale m California, and to some extent in the states of Georgia and North Carolina. In this method, the force water, with great pressure, is made available, both for excavating and washing the auriferous earth. Ihe water, issuing in a continuous stream, with great force, from a large hose-pipe, like that of a fire-engine, is directed against the base of a bank of earth and gravel, and tears it away. The bank is rapidly under- mined, the gravel is loosened, violently rolled together, and cleansed from any adhering particles of gold; while the fine sand and clay are carried offby the water. In this manner hundreds of tons of earth and gravel may be removed, and the gold which they contain liberated and secured, with greater ease and expedition than ten tons could be excavated and washed in the old way. All the earth and gravel of a deposit is moved, washed, and carried off through long sluices by the water, leaving the gold behind. Square acres of earth on the hill-sides may thus be swept away into the hollows, without the aid of a pick or a shovel in excavation. Water performs all the labor, moving and washing the earth, in one operation ; while in ex- cavating by Ugnd, the two processes are of necessity entirely distinct. The value of this method, and the yield of gold by it, as compared with the older one, can hardly be estimated. The water acts constantly with uniform effect, and can be brought to bear upon almost any point, where it would be difficult for men to work. It is especially effective in regions covered by trees, where the tangled roots would greatly retard the labor of workmen. In such places, the stream of water washes out the earth from below, and tree after tree falls before the current, any gold which may have adhered to their roots being washed away. With a pressure of sixty feet, and a pipe of from one and a half to two inches aperture, over a thousand bushels of earth can be washed out from a bank in a day. Earth which contains only one twenty-fifth part of a grain of gold, equal to one-fifth of a cent in value to the bushel, may be pro- fitably washed by this method; and any earth or gra- vel which will pay the expense of washing in the old way, gives enormous profits by the new process. To wash successfully in this way requires a plentiful sup- ply of water, at an elevation of from fifty to ninety feet above the bed-rock, and a rapid slope or descent from the base of the bank of earth to be washed, so that the waste water will run off through the sluices, bearing with it gravel, sand, and the suspended clay. The above description, and tne added details, are copied from a report on the gold mines of Georgia, by Mr. William P. Blake, who has carefully studied this method of mining in California, and by whose recom- mendation it has been introduced into the Southern States. He states that in the case of a deposit in North Carolina, where ten men where required, for thirty-five days, to dig the earth with pick and shovel, and wash it in sluices, two men, with a single jet of water, would acomplish the same work in a week. The great economy of this method is manifest from the fact that many old deposits in the river-beds, the gravel of which had been already washed by hand, nave been again washed with profit by the hydraulic process. He tells us that in California the whole art of working the diluvial gold deposits was revolution- ized by this new method. The auriferous earth, lying on hills, and at some distance above the level of the water-courses, would, in the ordinary methods, be ex- cavated by hand, and brought to the water; but by the present system, the water is brought by aque- ducts to the gold deposits, and whole square miles, which were before inaccessible, have yielded up their precious metal. It sometimes happens, from the irre- gular distribution of the gold in the diluvium in Cali- fornia, that the upper portions of a deposit do not contain gold enough to be washed by the ordinary methods; and would thus have to be removed, at a considerable expense, in order to reach the richer portions below. By the hydraulic method however the cost ot cutting away and excavating is so trifling that there is scarcely any bank of earth which will not pay the expense of washing down, in order to reach the richer deposits of gold beneath. The aqueducts or canals for the mining districts of California are seldom constructed by the gold-workers themselves, but by capitalists, who rent the water to the miners. The cost of one of these canals, carrying the waters of a branch of the Yuba Kiver to Nevada County, was estimated at a million of dollars; and another one, thirty miles in length, running to the same district, cost $500,000. The assessed value of these varions canals in 1857 was stated to be over four millions of dollars, of which value one-half was in the single county of Eldorado. The Bear Kiver and Au- burn ( anal is sixty miles in length, three feet deep and four feet wide at the top, and cost in all $1,600,000 ; notwithstanding which the water-rents were so great that it is stated to have paid a yearly dividend of twenty per cent, while other similar canals paid from three, to five and six per cent, and even more monthly. The price of the water was fixed at so much the inch, for each day of eight or ten hours. This price was at first about three dollars, but by competition has now been greatly reduced. From these statements, it will be seen that the great riches which have of late years been drawn from the goldmines of California, have not been obtained with- out the expenditure of large amounts of money and engineering skill. This last is especially exhibited in the construction of these great canals, and the appli- cation of the hydraulic method to the washing of aurif- erous deposits which were unavailable by the ordinary modes of working, on account of their distance from the water-courses, or by reason of the small quantity of gold which they contain. In order to judge of the applicability of this method of washing to our own auriferous deposits, a simple calculation based upon the experiments at the Riviere du Loup will be of use. It has been shown that the washing of the ground over an area of one acre, and with an average depth of two feet, equal to 87,120 cubic feet, gave in round numbers, about 5000 penny- weights of gold, or one and thirty-eight hundredths grains of gold to the cubic foot; which is equal to one and three-quarters grains of gold to the bushel. Now according to Mr. Blake, earth containing one forty- fourth part of this amount, or one twenty-fifth of a § rain of gold, can be profitably washed by the hy- raulic method, while the labor of two men, with a E roper jet of water, suffices to wash one thousand ushels in a day, which in a deposit like that of Rivfere du Loup would contain about seventy-three pennyweights of gold. It is probable, however, that a certain portion of the finer gold dust, which is col- lected in the ordinary process, would be lost in work- ing on the larger scale. It has already been shown that the gold is not confined to the gravel of the river- channels, and the alluvial flats. The beds of inter- stratified clay, sand, and gravel, which occur on the banks of the Metgermet, were found to contain gold throughout their whole thickness of fifty feet; and even though its proportion were to be many times less than in the gravel of the Rivtere du Loup, these thick deposits, which extend over great areas, might be pro- fitably worked by the hydraulic method. The tall in most of the tributaries of the Chaudfere and of the St. Francis throughout the auriferous region, is such that it will not be difficult to secure a supply of water with a sufficient head, without a very great expenditure in the construction of canals; and it may reasonably be expected that before long the deposits of gold-bearing earth, which are so widely spread over southeastern Canada, will be made economically available. During the summer and autumn of 1863 public at- tention nas been much drawn to the region of the Chaudi&re, and according to a report made to the commissioner of Crown Lands in September last by Mr. Judah, it would appear that about $18,000 worth of gold had been, during the season, obtained from the Gilbert or Touffe des Pins. The washings up to this time have not been conducted in a very systematic mai ner, but several large companies have been formed, and preparations are being made to test the value of those auriferous deposits by experiments conducted on a large scale by the hydraulic method described above.

This Colony on the coast of the Pacific was establish- ed in 1858, being formed of territory resumed by the Crown from the Hudson Bay Company, comprising the districts previously known by the various names of New Caledonia, New Georgia, New Norfolk and New Cornwall, lying between the Itocky Mountains and the Pacific.

, Ac., than ore world have been inclined to believe from its high latitude. In effect the few attempts at the culture of cereals already made in the vicinity of the Hudson Bay Co/s trading posts, demonstrate by their success how easy it woula be to obtain products sufficiently abundant largely to remunerate the efforts of the agriculturist. There, in order to put the land under cultivation, it would' be necessary only to till the better portions of the soil The prairies offer natural pasturage as favourable for the maintenance of numerous herds, as if they had been artificially created. The construction of houses for habitations by the pioneers in the development, of the country, would be easy, because in many part# of the country, independent of w ood, one would find fitting stones for building purposes; and in others it would be easy to find clay for bricks, more particulaily near Battle River. The other parts most favourable for culture would be in the neighbourhood of Fort Edmonton, and also along the south side of the north Saskatchewan. In the latter district, extend rich and vast prairies, interspersed with woods and forests, and where thick wood plants lurnish excellent pasturage for domestic animals. The vetches found here are as fitting for the nourishment of cattle as the clover of European pasturage. The abundance of buffalo, and the facility with which the herds of horses and oxen increase, demonstrate that it would be enough to shel- ter animals in winter, and to feed them in the shelters with hay collected in advance, in order to avoid the mortality that would result from cold and from the attacks of wild beasts, and further to permit the accli- matizing of other domestic farm-yard animals, such as the sheep and pig. The harvest could in general be commenced by the end of August, or the first w eek in September, which is a season when the temperature continues sufficiently high, and rain is rare. In the gardens of the II. B. Co.’s posts, and still more in those of the different missions, vegetables of the leguminous family, such as beans, peas and French beans, have been successfully cultivated; also potatoes, cabbages, turnips, carrots, rhubarb, and currants. No fruit tree has as yet been introduced; but one might perhaps, under favorable circumstances, trv nut-trees, also apple-trees belonging to varieties that ripen early. Different species of gooseberries, with edible fruits, grow wild here; also different kinds of Vaccinia e* are equally indigenous, and have pleasant fruits that will serve lor the preparation of preserves and confec- tionary. The only difficulty that would oppose agri- cultural settlements is the immense distance to trav- erse over countries devoid of roads, and almost, uninha- bited. The assistance of Government or of a well organized company, would be Indispensable to the colonization of this country. It would be important that settlements should be established in groups of at least fifty householders, for protection against the incursions of the Indians, who are, how ever, far from being hostile to Europeans. In the report of Mr. Simon Dawson on the explora- tion of the country between Lake Superior and Red River Settlement, and between the latter place and the Assiniboine and Saskatchewan, he says that “the climate of the Red River Settlement will compare not unfavorably with that of Kingston, C. W.— that, as a ge- neral rule, the season dnring which agricultural opera- tions can be carried on at Red River is somew'hat longer than in Canada, east of Kingston, while in winter the cold is more intense, although not uniformly so, than in any part of Canada, west of Three Rivers. In re- gard to salubrity, there are no diseases, so far as I could learn, incidental to the country. Ague is un- known. and a population more healthy than that of the Red River Settlement cannot be met with any- where/’ Mr. L. Blodget, the celebrated American Climatolo- gist, writes or the country in the following terms: “ Lord Selkirk began his efforts at colonization here as early as 1805, and from personal knowledge, he then claimed for this tract a capacity to support thirty mil- lions of inhabitants. All the grains of the cool tempe- rate latitudes are produced abundantly. Indian con* may be grown on both branches of the Saskatchewan, and the grass of the plains is singularly abundant and rich. Not only in the earliest explorations of these plains, but now, they are the great, resort for buffalo herds, which, with the domestic herds, and the horses of the Indians and the colonists, remain on them and at their woodland borders throughout the rear. The simple fact of the presence of these vast herds of wild Almanac. 1864.] HUDSON BAY TERRITORY, 217 cattle on plains of so high a latitude, is ample proof of the climatological ana productive capacity of the country. Of these plains and their woodland borders, the valuable surface measures fully 500,000 square miles.” Professor Hind, who spent two summers in the coun- try in charge of an expedition sent out by the Canadian Government, writes as follows : “ The fertile belt of arable soil, partly the form of rich, open prairie, partly covered with groves of aspen, which stretches from the Lake of the Woods to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, averages 80 to 100 miles in breadth. The area of this extraordinary belt of rich soil or pasturage is about forty million acres. It was formerly a wooded country, but by successive fires it has been partially cleared of its forest growth, but abounds with the most luxuriant herbage, and gene- rally possesses a deep and rich soil of vegetable mould. This region in winter is not more severe than that ex- perienced in Canada; and in the western districts, which are removed from the influence of the great lakes, the spring commences about a month earlier than on the shores of Lake Superior, which is five de- grees of latitude farther to the south. The depth of snow is never excessive, while in the richest tracts the natural pasture is so abundant, that horses and cattle may be left to obtain their own food during the greater part of the winter. The Fertile Belt of the Saskatche- wan Valley does not derive its importance from the bare fact that it contains 64,000 square miles of country available for agricultural purposes, in one continuous strip 800 miles long, and on an average 80 miles broad, stretching across the continent; it is rather by contrast with the immense sub-arctic area to the north, and a desert area to the south, that this favored ‘ Edge of the Woods’ country acquires political and commercial im- portance. A broad agricultural region, capable of sus- taining many millions of people, and abundantly sup- plied with iron ore and an inferior variety of coal, and spanning the eight hundred miles which separate Lake Winnipeg from the Rocky Mountains, more than com- nsates for the rocky character of the timbered desert tween the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior.” Capt. Palliser thus describes the Fertile Belt: — It is now a partially wooded country, abounding in lakes and rich natural pasturage, in some parts rivalling the finest park scenery of our own country. Throughout this region of country the climate seems to preserve the same character, although it passes through very difFerent latitudes, its form being doubtless determined by the curves of the isothermal line. Its superficial extent embraces about 65,000 square miles, of which more than one-third might be considered as at once available for the purposes of the agriculturalist.” Mr. J. W. Tavlor thus describes the climatic adapta- tion to agriculture of the Red River district : — “ The climate of the Red River valley is characterized by ex- tremes of temperature probably greater than any other part of the continent, while the annual mean is higher than that of the same parallels of Western Europe, in- cluding some of the best agricultural regions of that continent. The mean for the three winter months of December, January and February, at the Red River settlement, is 6° 85, at Montreal, 16° 3. But it must be remembered that the Red River settlement lies upon the very edge of this climatic belt, in close proximity to the arctic declivity of Hudson Bay, and it is by far the coldest part of tne whole basin of the Winnipeg. The climate grows rapidly warmer on the same paral- lels westward, even when there is an increase of eleva- tion.” The lied Hirer Winter. — Though the winter of this region is a period of intense cold, during which the mercury often remains froze :i for days together, its ef- fect upon the physical comfort is mitigated by a clear, dry atmosphere, such as makes the winters of Minne- sota the season of animal and social enjoyment. The buffalo winter in myriads on the nutritious grasses of its prairies up to as high a latitude as Lake Athabasca. The half-breeds and Indians camp out in the open plain during the whole winter, with no shelter but a buflfal > skin tent and abundance of buffalo-robes, and the horses of the settlers run at large all winter, and grow fat on the grasses which they pick up in the woods and bottoms. Red River Spring. — Spring opens at nearly the same time from Saint l’aul to Lake Athabasca ; April and May are the natural spring months of this whole cli- matic belt. The abruptness of the transition from winter to spring in these northern latitudes is a won- derful feature of the climate. In the Red River settle- ment the mean of March is 9° 9'. In April it rises to 39° 83’, and in May to 58° 46'. Agricultural capacity of the Summer months. — This rich upward swell of the spring temperature is pro- longed through the summer months of June, July and August, to include the amplest measures of heat for all agricultural purposes. Corn thrives well at a mean temperature of sixty-five degrees for the summer months, requiring, however, a July mean of sixty-seven degrees. Wheat requires a mean temperature of from sixty-two to sixty-five degrees for the two months of July and August. These two great representative sta- ples of American agriculture carry with them the whole procession of useful flora that characterize the northern belt of the temperate zone. Now the mean tempera- ture of Red River, Apr the three summer months, is 67° 76', nearly three degrees of heat more titan is necessary for corn, while July has four degrees of heat more than is required for its best development. The mean of the two months of July and August is sixty-seven degrees, five degrees above the requirement of wheat. Results of Agriculture at Red River Settlement . — For all the great northern staples — wheat, corn, oats, barley, potatoes, sheep and cattle— the range and dura- tion of the summer heats form the decisive condition. The data we have furnished prove conclusively the cli- matic adaptation of the Red River and Saskatchewan vallies to successful agriculture. Indian Com. — The measures of heat are ample for the development of corn in this district, and, in fact, some varieties thrive well at the Red River settlement, but it is not claimed as a profitable staple. It is chiefly cultivated in small garden patches for the green ears, but the cool nights of August frequently prevent its ripening, except in the driest soils. Some varieties of Canadian corn, requiring a growing period of not more than seventy days, would, however, form a sure crop in Red River. Indian corn, indeed, according to Bloa- get, is restricted as a profitable staple to the middle region of the w r est, between parallels of 42° and 43°. Wheat.— Wheat is the leading staple of the upper belt of the temperate zone. The range of wheat ex- tends from the borders of the tropics northward to the parallel of 60° north, and reauires a minimum mean temperature of 62° or 65° for tne two months of July and August. The whole region between Red River and the Rocky Mountains is embraced between the mean summer temperature of 65° and 70°, which in- clude also the most fertile districts of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Instances of the Wheat Product of Red River. — Our soil, says Donald Gunn, an intelligent settler, is ex- tremely fertile, and when well cultivated yields large crops of the finest wheat, weighing from 64 to 74 lbs. >er imperial bushel. Th> yield per acre is often as ligh as sixty bushels, and has been occasionally known to exceed that; and when the average returns fall be- low forty bushels to the acre, we are ready to complain of small returns. Some patches have been known to f >roduce twenty successive crops of wheat without fal- ow or manure. Prof. Hind, in his official report to the Canadian Legislature, sets the average product at forty bushels to the acre. He notices a product of 56 bushels to the acre in the only instance when a measurement was made. Wheat ripens in from 90 to 105 days. It is en- tirely free from insects or disease of any kind. A comparison of the yeld of wheat in Red River with the best wheat districts of the United States, will show its superiority over all others: Red River pro- duces 40 bushels per acre; Minnesota 20; Wisconsin 14; Pennsylvania 15; and Massachusetts 16 bush, per acre. Oats, Barley , Rye, Potatoes.— The whole group of subordinate cereals follow wheat, but are less restricted in their range, going five degrees beyond wheat in the Mackenzie Valley to the Arctic circle. Barley is a fa- vorable alternate of wheat at Red River, and yields enormous returns, with a weight per bushel of from forty-eight to fifty-five pounds. Oats thrive well. Po- tatoes are particularly distinguished for their excellent quality and yield. 218 HUDSON BAY TERRITORY [1864. B. N. A. Hay. — The grasses, says Forrey, are proverbially in perfection only in northern and cool regions. It is in the north alone that we raise animals from meadows, and are enabled to keep them fat and in good condi- tion with grain. In none of the prairie districts of North America are the native grasses so abundant and nutritious as in these northern valleys. This is suffi- ciently proved by the countless herds of buffalo that pasture throughout the year upon its plains, even up to the latitude of Peace river— a fact which suggests an equivalent capacity for the herding of domestic cattle. Tne Red River colony, in 1856, contained 9,253 horned cattle, and 2,799 horses, which, in a settlement of 6,523 souls, exhil i s a remarkable proportion of stock. Horses roam, during the summer and winter, through the woods, and keep fat without housing or hay. The un- limited pastural ranges afforded by the grassy savan- nas of Red River, with its dry winter climate, seem to supply favorable conditions for successful sheep hus- bandry. This is confirmed by Donald Gunn. Our cli- mate and soil, he says, are peculiarly adapted *to sheep. It is 28 years since their introduction into the settle- ment, and I have never seen or hoard of any sickness attacking them. Well fed ewes produce fleeces vary- ing from two to three and a half pounds. Wethers produce fleeces much heavier. The wool is of good quality, though not very fine. An inferior breed of sheep would be likely to produce fine wool. Mineral Wealth of the Territory. — About 150 miles east of the Rocky Mountains the great coal bed com- mences. So far as has been ascertained it is over 50 miles in width, and extends continuously over 16 de- grees of latitude, to the Arctic ocean. The lignite (or tertiary coal) formation is still more extensively de- veloped. At the junction of the Mackenzie and Bear Lake River, the formation is best exposed; it there consists of a series of beds, the thickest of which ex- ceed three yards, separated by layers of gravel and sand, alternating with a fine grained friable sandstone, and sometimes with thick beds of clay, the interposing layer being often dark, from the dissemination of bitu- minous matter. The coal, when recently extracted from the bed, is massive, and most generally shows the woody structure distinctly. Of the mineral wealth of a large portion of the terri- tory, Sir John Richardson thus speaks in general terms, in a communication published in the Journal of the Geographical Society for 1845 : "The countries, by the expeditions of Sir John Franklin and ('apt. Back, are rich in minerals; inexhaustible coal fields skirt the Rocky Mountains through twelve degrees of latitude; beds of coal crop out to the surface on various parts of the Arctic coast ; veins of lead ore traverse the rocks of Coronation gulf, and the Mackenzie river flows through a well-wooded tract, skirted by metalliferous ranges of mountains, and offers no obstruction to steam naviga- tion for upward of twelve hundred miles.” COMMUNICATION TO RED RIVER, ON BRITISH TERRITORY. The community of setUeafs. at Red River, isolated in many respects from, and, until lately, unnoticed by the rest of the world, is now exciting no small degree of attention. The settlement was first formed half a cen- tury ago by immigrants from the old country; the population now consists of British-born subjects and their descendants; Ihey live and have always lived on British territory, but they are not yet literally a Bri- tish colony. Practically, too, the people of Red River settlement are at present cut off from all intercourse with the Mother Country except through a Foreign State. The old route by which they had access 50 years ago has, for want of a small expenditure to keep it open, fallen into disuse; no wonder then that they grumble at the seeming indifference of the parent land. “ We have no postal communication,” says the Red River A r or’- W ester , “ with any part of the civilized world except through the United States!” Heads of Proposal forwarded to the Duke of Newcas- tle by Mr. E. )V. Watkin, April 28 1863, for establish- ing Telegraphic and Postal Communication from Lake Superior to New W estminster. The Atlantic and Pacific Transit and Telegraph Company propose to establish and maintain communi- cation by electric telegraph, and a mail post, passing at such intervals fortnightly or otherwise as shall be agreed upon between a point at the head of Lake Su- perior and New Westminster, in British Columbia, on the following terms : — 1. That the Imperial Government, the colonies of Canada and British Columbia, and the Hudson Bay Company, shall each, within the territories belonging to them, grant to the Company such land belonging to the Crown or Company, and all such rights as may be required for the post route, telegraph and necessary stations, and for the proper working thereof. 2. The line of telegraph shall be divided into proper sections, and so soon as telegraphic communication is established throughout any section, the colonies of Canada, Vancouver Island, and British Columbia will guarantee to the Company a rate of profit on the capi- tal expended at the rate of not less than four, nor more than live per cent., provided that the total amount of the capital guaranteed shall be limited to £500,000, and that the total annual payment to be made by Vancou- ver Island and British Columbia together, shall not exceed £12,500; provided also, that the interest accru- ing upon the money paid up by the shareholders, until the above guarantee shall take effect, shall be reckoned as capital ; and provided, further that in case the tele- graphic line shall not be completed within five years, unless by reason of war or commotion, or of any inter- ruption not arising from any wilful default of the company, the above guarantee shall be suspended till the line shall be so completed. 3. In case the route shall run through Crown Land not within the limits of Canada or British Columbia, nor within the territory claimable by the Hudson Bay Company, the Company shall be entitled to de- mand Crown grants to the extent of five square miles for every mile of telegraph line within such Crown Land. Such grants shall be demandable as soon as the telegraph communication shall be com- pleted across such Crown Land, and the blocks grant- ed shall be adjacent to the telegraph line, and shall be as near as may be five miles square, and shall alternate on each side of the line with blocks of similar size and frontage, which shall remain in the possession of the Crown. The Company is not to sell this land except under effectual conditions of settlement, and in case the undertaking shall be permanently abandoned, the land not so sold is to revert to the Crown. 4. The Company shall not dispose of the telegraph without the consent of the Imperial Government. 5. The Colonial Governments, within their respec- tive limits, or the Imperial Government in any part of the line, may at any time take temporary possession of the telegraph line, in case the public interest requires it, on payment of a rate of compensation to be hereafter agreed, and Government messages shall, at all times wnen demanded, have priority over all others. 6. The Home Government, with the consent of the parties, will introduce into Farliament such measures as may be requisite to give effect to this proposal. 7. The telegraph and works, and the servants and agents of the Company, shall be considered as under the protection of the Crown and of the Colonial Government as fully as if in the settled districts of British North America. 8. The Company and its works shall be exempt from all taxation for a period of thirty years. 9. Any further matters of detail or questions of difference requiring discussion, to be remitted to the sole decision of His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, Her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies. Reply of the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies to Mr. Watkin. Downing Street, 1st May 1863. Str, — I am directed by the Duke of Newcastle to state that he has had much satisfaction in receiving your letter of the 28th ultimo, enclosing the heads of a proposal for establishing telegraphic and postal com- munication between Lake Superior and New West- minster, through the agency of the Atlantic and Pacific Transit and Telegraph Company. These pro- posals call for some observations from His Grace. New Westminster is named as the Pacific terminus of the road and telegraph. His Grace takes for grant- ed that if the Imperial Government and that of Bri- Almanac. 1864.] HUDSON BAY TERRITORY, 219 tish Columbia should find, on further enquiry, that some other point on the coast would supply a more convenient terminus, the Company would be ready to adopt it. Article 1. — ITis Grace sees no objection to the grant of land contemplated in this article, but the “ rights" stipulated for are so indeterminate that, without further explanation, they could scarcely be promised in the shape in which they are asked, lie anticipates, how- ever, no practical difficulty on this head. Nos. 1 and 2.— The Duke of Newcastle, on the part of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, sees no objection to the maximum rate of guarantee proposed by the Company, provided that the liability of the colonies is clearly limited to £12,500 per annum. Nor does he think it unfair that the Government guaran- tee should cover periods of temporary interruption from causes of an exceptional character, and over which the Company has no control. But he thinks it indispensable that the colonies should be sufficiently secured against having to pav, for any lengthened period, an annual sum of £12,500 without receiving the corresponding benefit — that is to say, the benefit of direct telegraphic communication between the seat of Government in Canada and the coast of the Pacific. It must therefore be understood that the commencement of the undertaking must depend on the willingness of the Canadian Government and Legislature to complete telegraphic communication from the Seat of Govern- ment to the point on Lake Superior, at which the Company will take it up; — nor could His Grace strongly urge on the Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia the large annual guarantee which this project contemplates, unless there were good reasons to expect that the kindred enterprise of connecting Halifax and Montreal by railway, would be promptly and vigorously porceeded with. It will also be requisite to secure, bv formal agreements, that the guarantee shall cease and the grants of land for railway purposes revert to the grantors in case of the permanent abandonment of the undertaking, of which abandonment some unambiguous test should be sub- scribed, such as the suspension of through communica- tion for a stated period. The Duke of Newcastle does not object to five years as the maximum period for the completion of the undertaking, and he thinks it fair to exclude from that period, or from the period of suspension above mentioned, any time during which any part of the line should be in occupation of a for- eign enemy. But injuries from the outbreaks of Indian tribes, and other casualties which are inherent in the nature of the undertaking, must be taken as part of the risks which fall on the conductors of the enterprise, by whose resource and foresight alone they can be averted . 11 is G race apprehends that, the Crown land contemplated in Article 3, is the territory lying between the eastern boundary of British Columbia and the territory purporting to be granted to the Hudson Bay Company by their charter. His Grace must, clearly explain that Her Majesty's Government do not undertake, in performance of this article of the agreement, to go to the expense of settling any ques- tions of disputed boundary, but only to grant land to which the Crown title is clear. With regard to the 7th Article the Duke of Newcastle could not hold out to the Company the prospect of protection by a mili- tary or police force in the uninhabited 'districts through which their line would pass, but he would consider favorably any proposal for investing the offi- cers of the Company with such magisterial or other powers as might conduce to the preservation of order and the security of the Company’s operations. With reference to the 9th and concluding article the Duke of Newcastle would not willingly undertake the res- ponsible functions proposed to him, but he will agree to do so, if by those means he can in any degree facili- tate the project, and if he finds that the Colonies con- cur in the proposal. Subject to these observations, and to such questions of detail as further consideration may elicit, the Duke of Newcastle cordially approves of the Company’s proposals, and is prepared to sanc- tion the grants of land contemplated in the 3rd article. He intends to communicate the scheme, with a copy of this letter, to the Governor General of Canada, and the Governor of Vancouver Island, recommending the project to their attentive consideration. C. Eortescub. The Duke of Newcastle to Governor Douglas, of Van- couver Island. Downing Street, 1st May 1863. Sin,— I enclose copies of a letter addressed to me by Mr. VVatkin, on the part of the Atlantic and Pacific Transit and Telegraph Company, in which he trans- mits the heads of a proposal made by that Company for establishing telegraphic and postal communication between Biitish Columbia and the head of Lake Supe- rior. I also enclose copies of the answer which I caused to be returned to that letter, and of a despatch which I have addressed to the Governor General of Canada on the subject. This proposal I apprehend to be made in the confident expectation that the Cana- dian Government will provide similar means of com- munication up to the head of Lake Superior, and that means will be adopted for completing the communica- tion by railway from Halifax to Montreal, thus estab- lishing a chain of telegraphic communication, and fa- cilitating enormously the rapid transit of letters and passengers across Biitish Norih America. I need hardly insist on the advantages which such an enter- prise, if completed in all its parts, will confer on the British Colonies on the l'acific. It is difficult to say whether they will bo greater in war or peace. In war, the rapid communication of intelligence will relievo those Colonies from the constant apprehension of sur- prise by an enemy, and will give to the harbors of Van- couver Island, as a station for Her Majesty’s navy, an importance immeasurably beyond what they can at present attain. In peace, it can hardly fail to add a powerful and healthy stimulus to that immigration which is principally wanting to develope the resources of the Colonies. I should hope that the Colonists — without whose concurrence I am by no means desirous of proceeding— will agree with me m thinking that the guarantee of £12,500 per annum, to be paidlif neces- sary) by British Columbia and Vancouver Island, in such proportions as the two g ivernment-i may agree upon, is no unreasonable price for advantages or so great magnitude. I have had no hesitation in giving a conditional consent, on the part of the Imperial Govern- ment, to the grants of land contemplated in the first and third of the conditions set forth in the enclosed paper, and I shall transmit a copy of this despatch, and of its enclosures, to Canada, recommending the project to the consideration of the Canadian Govern- ment. I have to request that you will submit these papers to the Legislature of Vancouver Island, and will ascer- tain the sentiments of the inhabitants of British Co- lumbia respecting the proposed undertaking, and I shall receive with great satisfaction the intelligence that laws at e to be enacted which will enable you, if the Canadian Government shall afford their co-opera- tion in the matter, to conclude in detail an arrange- ment with the company on the basis of the enclosed proposals. The following is a synopsis of papers laid before the Canadian Parliament in Sept. 1863, respecting the opening of g road to lied liiver, or British Columbia. Letter of the Hon. Alleyn , late Prov. Sec. Canada, dated Quebec , 15//i April 1862, addressed to A. G. Dallas , esq., Gov. in chief, Rupert* s Land. Sir,— The Government of Canada have had their at- tention very strongly directed to the important subject of an overland communication with British Columbia through the Hudson Bay Territory, via the Red River, and I am now commanded by his Excellency to inform you of the steps proposed towards effecting this object, and to seek the co-operation of the H. B. Co. therein. The Canadian Government do not wish at present to raise any question as to the righ ts of the company, who must be regarded as de facto in posses- sion of the country intervening between Canada and British Columbia. They consider that most impor- tant » public interests demand the establishment of a practicable line of communication across the continent, and they desire to have the practical aid of your com- pany in carrying it into effect. Arrangements were made within the last four years for postal service with Red River, but the want of territorial rights at Red River, and along the greater part of the route, defeated the plans of the Canadian Government, and, after a very considerable outlay, the line had to be abandoned. Another effort is now being made in the same direo- 220 HUDSON BAY TERRITORY. [ 1864 . B.N.A. tion, and, as the H. B. Co. claims the right of territory and government over this region, it is hoped they will also assume their correlative duties, and unite with Canada in opening up the country. The Canadian Government are about to establish steam communica- tion with Fort William, on Lake Superior, immediate- ly; a large tract of land at this point has been sur- veyed, and a Crown Land agent has recently been appointed to reside there; appropriations have been made, by the Legislature for roads towards Red River, on which free grants will be made to settlers, and every effort will bo made to attract settlement — the ultimate object being the connection with the Red River and Saskatchewan. Canada is, therefore, now prepared to guarantee that, so far as her undisputed boundary ex- tends, every facility will henceforward exist towards a communication with the west. The recent gold dis- coveries on the Saskatchewan cannot fail to attract many adventurers, who must at present be principally drawn from the U. 8. The settlement of Red River itself, has now its sole communication with Minnesota, and will naturally imbibe American principles and views, unless brought into connection with the British settlements east and west. Canada must look with some apprehension to the probable result that, in a very few years, the population lying to her west, will be wholly foreign, and that, unless facilities for settle- ment be afforded from Canada equal to those enjoyed from the U. S., and unless efficient civil government be speedily established, British rule over this part of the continent will virtually have passed away, and the key of the trade to British Columbia, and ultimately China, have been surrendered to our rivals. The 11. B. Co. cannot desire a result that would equally militate against their own interests, and the Canadian Govern- ment, therefore, hopes for their hearty co-operation in opening of the Red River and Saskatchewan Territo- ries by a communication from Canada to British Columbia. The Government of Canada considers that, in con- nection with the means of transport across the conti- nent, a telegraphic communication should be estab- lished us especially necessary for imperial interests, Inasmuch as both the II. S. and Russia possess tele- graphic lines to the Pacific, while Great Britain has no other mode of doing so but through the II. B. territory. Recent events have proved the paramount importance of such a line. Leaving untouched, therefore, all dis- puted questions, I am commanded by his Excellency to state, that the Canadian Government have decided at once to establish steam and stage communication to the extreme limit of the territory under their govern- ment, and are ready to unite with the II. B. Co. in a mail service and post, route to British Columbia. The Canadian Government are also prepared to guarantee the construction of a telegraph line to the extreme western limits of the province. I request that you will inform me how far you will be prepared to act for the H. B. Co., in carrying out these objects. Reply of Mr. Dallas , dated Montreal, lQth April 1862. “ While admitting the force of the above arguments, and the immediate necessity of some arrangements being come to, I am reluctantly compelled to admit my inability to meet the Government of Canada in this forward movement, for the following reasons : First . — The Red River and Saskatchewan valleys, though notin themselves fur-bearing districts, are the sources from whence the main supplies of winter food are procured for the northern posts, from the produce of the buffalo hunts. A chain of settlements through these valleys would not only deprive the company of the above vital resource, but would indirectly, in many other ways, so interfere with their northern trade, as to render it no longer worth prosecuting on an ex- tended scale. It would necessarily be divided into va- rious channels, possibly to the public benefit, but the company could no longer exist on its present footing. The above reasons against a partial surrender of our territories may not appear sufficiently obvious to par- ties not conversant with the trade or the country; but my knowledge of both, based on personal experience, and from other sources open to mo, point to the conclu- sion that partial concessions of the districts which must necessarily be alienated, would inevitably lead to the extinction of the company. Second — Granting that the company was willing to sacrifice its trading interests, the very act would de- prive it of the means to carry out the proposed meas- ures. There is no source of revenue to meet the most ordinary expenditure, and even under present circum- stances. the company has practically no power to raise one. The co-operation proposed, in calling on the com- pany to perform its correlative duties, pre-supnosed it to stand on an equal footing with Canada. It is not to be supposed that the Crown would grant more exten- sive powers to the company than those conveyed by the charter. If any change be made, it is presumed that direct administration by the Crown would be re- sorted to, as the only measure likely to give public sat- isfaction. N ot having anticipated the present question, I am without instructions from the Board of Directors in London for my guidance. 1 believe 1 am, however, safe in stating my conviction, that the company will be willing to meet the wishes of the country at large by consenting to an equitable arrangement for the surrender of all the rights conveyed by the charter. I may state that it is my intention to make immediate arrangements at the existing settlement of Red River, for the sale of land, on easy terms, free from any re- strictions of trade. It would, I believe, be impolitic to make any distinction between British subjects and for- eigners. The infusion of a British element must be left to the effects of a closer connection and identity of in- terests with Canada and the mother country." In a despatch to Lord Monck, dated 3rd June 1862, the Duke of Newcastle said: Although it is not in the power of Her Majesty’s Government to grant assist- ance from Imperial funds for carrying out the object which the Canadian Government has in view, there would be every desire on their part to co-operate in any well-devised scheme for effecting this important communication across the American continent. As a possible preliminary to such an undertaking, I would direct your lordship's attention to the facilities for the acquisition of land which the Hudson's Bay Company announce their intention of ottering to settlers pro- ceeding to the Red River. The Duke enclosed a copy of a letter he had received from W. Berens, Governor of the H. B. Co. Board of Directors, dated London, 9t.h May 1862. in which he forwarded a copy of the above correspondence between Mr. Alleyn and Mr. Dallas, stating that his colleagues were of opinion that any negotiation on the subject should he carried on, not with the Colonial authorities, but with H. M. Govt. Mr. B. added: "The Canadian Government propose, in the first instance, to establish steam communication on Lake Superior, and to open up roads from Fort William in the direction of Red River, and they appear to consider that it is the duty of the H. B. Co. to undertake the further prosecution of the work through their territories. Of course there is no difficulty, as far as steamers on Lake Superior are concerned, but between Fort William and the heights of land the natural difficulties of the country will make road-making a very expensive business, while the soil, which consists chiefly of rock and swamps, will offer no inducements to settlers, even if they obtain the land for nothing. Within the last few years, a considerable sum of money has been granted and expended by the Canadian Government for the purpose of opening this route, but I am not aware that there has been any prac- tical result. Beyond Red River, to the base of the Rocky Mountains, the line will pass through a vast de- sert, in some places without food or water, exposed to the incursions of roving bands of Indians, and entirely destitute of any means of subsistence for emigrants, save herds of buffalo, which roam at large through the plains, and whose presence on any particular portion of these prairies can never be reckoned on. These again are followed up by Indians in pursuit of food, whose hostility will expose travellers to the greatest danger. With regard to the establishment of a tele- graphic communication, it is scarcely necessary to point to the prairie fires, the depredations of natives, and the general chapter of accidents, as presenting almost insurmountable obstacles to its success. It is my duty to state that the Directors of the H. B. Co., cannot risk their capital in doubtful under- takings of this description, spread over such vast distances, through a country whore the means of maintaining them, if once made, will lead to an expen- diture scarcely to be contemplated. Although, there- fore, the Directors, on behalf of the Company, are Almanac. 1864.] HUDSON BAY TERRITORY, 221 ready to lend H. M. Government all the moral support and assistance in their power, it must be distinctly understood that the company cannot undertake any outlay in connexion with the scheme suggested by the Canadian (Government. The company have always expressed their willingness to surrender the whole or any part of the territorial rights upon terms that would secure fair compensation to the proprietors, as well as to the officers and employes in the country. The Governor at Red River colony has instructions to make grants of land to settlers on easy conditions without any restrictions as to the company’s right of exclusive trade, and if H. M. Government consider more extensive plans for the improvement of the country expedient, the Directors of the Company will be quite ready to entertain them with the desire to meet the wishes of Her Majesty’s Government in any manner not inconsistent with the vested rights of the constituents.” On the 15t.h Sept. lS62,'Mr. W. McD. Dawson, M.P.P. wrote to the Canadian Postmaster General, renewing the proposals for opening the route to the R. R. Settle- ment and British Columbia. He stated that in January 1859, he laid the matter before the then Colonial Secretary, Sir E. B. Lytton, proposing an Imperial subsidy of £40, 000 per annum for carrying the mails to the Pacific. The plan was approved, but a change of Government took place before any action had been taken. He proposed : 1st. That an Order in Council be pass- ed, providing that £10,000 per annum, stg., be appro- priated for mail service to British Columbia; the service to Red River to be performed as specified in the Order in Council 7tli Dec., 1859, and thence to the boundary of British Columbia, to the satisfaction of the Postmaster General; 2nd. The money for the construction of the route to be drawn from the bank in which it may be deposited only upon progress esti- mates of work done, certified by such officer as may be appointed by the government for that purpose. 3rd. A grant of lauds to be made to the parties em- barking in the undertaking, consisting of blocks, alter- nating with blocks of equal size to be reserved by the { government along the route ; but that where the ands are absolutely unfit for settlement, the extent found worthless be made good elsewhere ; 4th. These lands to be gradually sold under regulations to be approved by the Governor in Council, and the pro- ceeds placed in a sinking fund for the redemption of the money expended on the construction of the route; 6th. The lands to be thus granted by Canada, so far as her boundary may ultimately be decided to extend, and a recommendation to be made to the Imperial Government that in any disposition of territory on the route that may be decided not to be within the bounda- ries of Canada, the same appropriation of lands be provided for under the same conditions; 6th. That a despatch be written to the Imperial Government inti- mating the action taken, and urging such co-operation and aid as may be found necessary to induce capitalists in England to provide the means for carrying the enterprise to a successful issue. Extracts from the Report of Hon. Mr. Foley, late Postmaster General, 17 th Oct., 1862, on the subject. The circumstances w hich for somo years past have indicated the expediency of opening up communica- tions westward from Lake Superior, derive additional importance from the recent and continuous intercourse witli British Columbia, consequent upon the disco- veries there of valuable gold fields ; whilst the reported existence of the same precious metal in the fertile valley of the Saskatchewan,has had the effect of awaken- ing a yet deeper interest in what in Canada is popu- larly known as the Red River country. Under so powerful an impulse, a rapid stream of emigration has set towards the Pacific, which gives indications of indefinite expansion in view of the encouraging reports which are constantly received of the richness of the mines and the value of the country as a field for settle- ment. The shortest and most natural route to these inviting territories lies through the St. Lawrence and its chain of tributary lakes; but owing to the want of facilities for transit beyond the head of Lake Superior, persons destined for the western settlements necessa- rily make the voyage by sea, or accomplish the first stage in the land journey — Fort Garry on the Red River — by way of Minnesota and Dacotah. Thus it may in truth be said that the people of the neighbor- ing states hold the key to the British possessions in the west, and while by this means their wild lands are being settled and improved, ours, lying immediately adjacent and quite as w ? ell fitted for cultivation, remain a mere hunting ground for the sole benefit and advan- tage of a company of traders whose object it is to keep them a wilderness productive only of game, and who, to this end, do all in their power to divert into foreign channels, to the promotion of alien interests, the com- merce carried on by them with the outside world. The time has arrived when more decisive and effec- tive means should be employed in opening up and perfecting the communication westward from Lake Superior through British territory. Cut off from inter- course with their fellow-subjects, except on condition of submitting to the inconveniences, losses, and nume- rous vexations of a circuitous journey through a foreign country, and which, on the occurrence of difficulty, would be closed to them, or but afford facility for their invasion, and, under the circumstances, all but certain conquest, the people of the R. R. settlement have for many years past been loud in their expressions of dis- satisfaction. Minnesota, and not Canada, is, from imperious necessity, the emporium of their trade ; the chief recent additions to their population are from the United States, and their sympathies, in spite of their wishes, are being drawn into a channel leading in an opposite direction from that of the source of their allegiance. In a word, the central link in the chain of settlements which should connect Canada with British Columbia is being rapidly Americanized, and unless a prompt effort be made to advance British interests in that direction, there is reason to fear that incalculable mischief will follow. The tendencies which have in the main operated in keeping the North- Western country closed to the industrial enterprise of the British and Canadian people may be tracea to the alleged obstacles in the w r ay of the construction of prac- ticable roads and the improvement of navigation. Recent explorations, however, prove these obstacles to have been greatly exaggeratecl . The expeditions of the Imperial and Canadian Governments demonstrate the entire feasibility of establishing communication for postal and telegraphic service at reasonable rates through the territories which the Hudson Bay Com- pany claim as being under their jurisdiction. Starting from the head or the Lake Superior, with which, during the summer months, constant intercourse is maintained by steamers, the route naturally divides itself into three sections, the first extending to the Red River settlement, the next stretching forward to the Rocky Mountains, and the third reaching thence to the l’acific. Mr. S. Dawson, who explored the first named section in 1868, under the direction of the Provincial Govern- ment, describes that portion of it extending from Lake Superior to Lake Winnipeg, “as a hilly and broken country, intersected by rapid rivers and wide spread lakes. The mountains, however,” he adds “do not rise to any great elevation except on the immediate borders of Lake Superior, and there are some fine allu- vial valleys, the most extensive of which is that of Rainy River. The lakes and rivers, present long reaches of navigable w T ater, the principal of which, extending from Fort Francis to the western extremity of Lake Flat, is 158 miles in length. Dense forests cover the whole of this region, and the most valuable kinds of wood are seen in various places and in consi- derable quantities.” The most difficult and laborious part of the journey is the first, leading up to the “ height of land ” from Lake Superior. Before Mr. Dawson’s exploration, the rocky, broken structure of the country by the Kaministaquia was thought to pre- sent an insuperable barrier to further extension, except at an immense expenditure ; but his examination led to the discovery of a good line from Thunder Bay to Dog Lake, by which the entire practicability of that part of the route w r as established. The country from the Lake of the Woods to Fort G arry is spoken of by the same authority as a region differing as widely as may be in its physical character from that which has previously been described. Although the distance across from the Lake of the Woods to Red River is but 90 miles, the country gradually undergoes a change for the better until the prairie region is reached, about 30 miles east of Fort Garry. Hence, through the R. R. settlement, by the valley of the Saskatchewan, to the base of the Rocky Mountains (forming the second / 222 HUDSON BAY TERRITORY, [1864. B. N. A. section of the route) the country presents the same favorable characteristics of fertile prairie, thinly wood- ed here and there by clumps of timber. Over this by iar the most extensive of the three divisions referred to, Rood nat ural roads in constant use by the Red River settlers and the H. 15. Company’s employes, already exist; besides which the Saskatchewan River is report- ed, on good authority, to be navigable for steamboats from near its mouth, with but one short interruption, to the very foot of the mountains. The crossing of the Rocky Mountains has been objected to as one of the obstacles in the overland route; but that, too, has been proved by actual exploration to be much loss formi- dable than it had been supposed, Capt. Falliser, in his report to the British Government, stating: “1 am rejoiced to say that I have completely succeeded in discovering a pass practicable not only for horses, but one which, with but little expense, could be rendered available for carts also. This pass will connect the prairies of the Saskatchewan with Her Majesty’s pos- sessions on the west side of the Rocky Mountains.” And further on, in the same report, speaking of another pass explored by Dr. Hector, who was attached to the expedition in a scientific capacity, ('apt. l’alliser adds : “ He found the facilities for crossing the mountains so great, as to leave little doubt in his mind of the prac- ticability of constructing even a railroad connecting the plains of the Saskatchewan with the opposite side of the main chain of the Rocky Mountains.” Dr. Hector himself, in j«S report, says: “The ascent to the watershed from tti# f askatchewan is hardly per- ceptible to the traveller, who is prepared for a tremen- dous climb by which to reach the dividing ridge of the Rocky Mountains, and no labour would be required, except that of hewing timber, to construct an easy road for carts, by which it might be attained.” Of the descent on the western slope of the mountains, he remarks : “A road for carts down the valley of Ver- million river, from the height of land to the Kootamie river, could be cleared without difficulty ; for, suppos- ing the road to follow a straight line along the river, and the descent to be uniform, which it almost is, the incline would only be forty feet in a mile, or 1 in 135.” Other passes discovered indicate equal facilities. With regard to the third or British Columbian sec- tion, as it appears from the views held by the Colonial Minister, that Canada would not be expected to parti- cipate in its construction, it is only necessary to say that its practicability has been satisfactorily proved. Capt. Ralliser, after giving all the details of his explo- rations west of the Rocky Mountains, claims as one of the results of the expedition under his command, “ that we have succeeded in rinding a way from R. R. settle- ment across the Rocky Mountains to the mouth of Fraser River, entirely in British territory,” and which, even in its wild state, he intimates to be “a loute prac- ticable for horses ’’throughout. And there is abundant reason for believing that the hearty co-operation of the people of British Columbia would be certain in any ju- dicious effort to bring them into closer intercourse with their fellow North American colonists. Of the prospective value of that intercourse, and as an indica- tion of their anxious desire for the opening up of com- munication between their own colony and Canada, the undersigned, from numerous communications received by him on the subject, takes the liberty of quoting the following passage from a letter recently written him by a Canadian, resident at New Westminster : “ We hope that you and your friends will not forget us here; but that your best efforts will be directed to the opening up of a communication with this country by means of an overland route, whereby a market might be secured for Canadian produce, of which the colonists here would most gladly avail themselves. 1 believe that Canada could supply the miners in the Cariboo district as cheaply, if not more cheaply, than they were able to get their supplies this summer. This country would pay in treasure the very thing you want; for just as soon as provisions can be obtained here at a reasonable rate, say &25 to 3530 per barrel for flour, there would at once be an immense extent of mining country opened up. Canadians now exert a controlling influence here, and our great desire is to see a practicable road con- structed between the Canadian and the British Colum- bian Provinces.” The availability then of a continuous route on British soil being established, the question arises as to its suit- ability for settlement. On this point there exists abun- dant favorable evidence. Speaking generally of the country from Bake Superior to Red River, Sir Alexan- der Mackenzie says : “There is not, perhaps, a liner country in the world for uncivilized man. It abounds in everything necessary to the w T ants and comforts of such a people. Fish, venison, and fowl, w ith wild rice, are in great plenty.” And more particularly specifying the central part of the same tract of country, Sir George Simpson, in his interesting work, “A Journey round the World,” says that the country between Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake is most favorable to agricul- ture, resembling* in some measure the banks of the Thames, near Richmond. And describing the water communication from Fort Francis downwards, he asks: “ Is it too much for the eye of philanthropy to discern, through the vista of futurity, this noble stream, connecting as it does the fertile shores of two spacious lakes, with crowtoed steamboats on its bosom, and populous towns on its banks? ” Corroborative of this testimony is that of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, wdio, speaking of the same stream, says : “ This is one of the finest rivers in the North-West. Its banks are covered with a rich soil, particularly to the north, which in many parts are clothed with fine open groves of oak, with the maple, the pine, and the cedar.” Of the country watered by the Red River and Lake Winnipeg, Mr. John McLean says: “Red River rises in swamps and small lakes in the distant plains of the south, and after receiving a number of tributary streams, that serve to fertilize and beautify as fine a tract of land as the world possesses, discharges itself into the eastern extremity of Lake Winnipeg, in latitude fifty. The climate is much the same as in the midland districts of Canada; the river is generally frozen across about the beginning of November, and open about the beginning of April. The soil along the banks of the river is of the richest vegetable mould, and of so great a depth that crops or wheat are produced for several years without the application of manure. The banks pro- duce oak, elm, maple, and ash. The woods extend rather more than a mile inland. The farms of the set- tlers are now nearly clear of wood. An open plain succeeds of from four to six miles in breadth, affording excellent pasture. Woods and plains alternate after- wards, until you reach the boundless prairie.” In another place the same writer says: “Thus it happens that the Red River farmer finds a sure market for six or eight bushels of wheat and no more. The in- comparable advantages this country possesses are not only in a great measure lost to the inhabitants, but also to the w’orld, so long as it remains under the do- minion of its fur-trading rulers. In the possession of, and subject to, the immediate jurisdiction of the Crown, Assiniboine would become a great and flourishing col- ony, the centre of civilization and Christianity to the surrounding tribes, who would be converted from hos- tile barbarians into a civilized and loyal people, and thus Great Britain would extend and establish her do- minion in a portion of her empire that may be said to have been hitherto unknown to her, whilst she would open up a new field for the enterprise and industry of her sons.” On this head there is much additional tes- timony ; but two further quotations may suffice. One is an extract from an article published in May, 1860, in the newspaper established in the colony, by gentlemen from Canada, whose statements are entitled to the full- est credit: — “ One farmer says, that last year he put down eight bushels of wheat on four acres of land, and got a return of 153 bushels: this was nineteen to one, and about 38 to the acre. Another says, he put down forty-three bushels on eighteen acres, and obtained 753 bushels : this is more than seventeen to one, and forty- two to the acre. A third put down sixteen bushels on eight acres, and had 401 of a return, making twenty- five to one, and fifty to the acre. Two others are as follows: seven bushels sown on four acres yield 170 bushels, being twenty-four to one, and forty-two per acre. Again, six bushels sown on four acres, returned 180, which made thirty to one sown, and forty-five to the acre. The fields were accurately measured, and the : facts and figures carefully made out, and may be relied on.” The other quotation is from the evidence of Col. Crofton, before a Committee of the House of Commons : (Mr. Roebuck). — Can you tell me when the spring or summer in the R. R. settlement begins? — The season opens about the first week in April, and closes about the middle of November. That is about what occurs Almanac. 1864.] HUDSON BAY TERRITORY. 223 in Lower Canada?— I thought it was about that of Up- per Canada; 1 may be wrong. Does the summer season close as early as the middle of November ? — The summer season may be said to close in August, but the tinest weather is what is called “the fall,” which extends from August to the middle of November. When does the permanent snowfall? — It commences in the latter part of November, and is not off the ground until the first week in April. Ilad you an opportunity of seeing anything of agri- culture while you were there? — A great deal. What sort of crops did they grow?— Oats, barley, and wheat, chiefly ; but all sorts of vegetables. Did the wheat ripen? — In 90 days from sowing. It ripened very perfectly? — It was the finest wheat I ever saw. Was the soil fertile? — Along the immediate banks of the rivers, and extending for perhaps the breadth of two miles, no finer loamy soil could be seen, with a limestone foundation Is it geologically limestone?— All. And wherever limestone is, there is fertile land? — I think that is the consequence. Do you know how far the limestone extends, looking at that map? — I have ascertained from servants of the H. B. Co., that it extends, as a base of the whole prai- rie laud, to the Rocky Mountains. So that in fact that part of the territory is fit for agriculture? — Quite so. And would make a good Colony ?— It might maintain millions. As to the Saskatchewan country, the richness of its soil and its adaptability for settlement are so well known and understood that it is unnecessary to dwell on them at so great length. This country is the favorite resort of vast herds of Buffalo — an unerring indication of the mildness of the climate and the fertility of the soil. Capt. Falliser speaks of it as a partially wooded oountry, abounding in lakes and rich natural pastur- age, in some parts rivalling the finest park scenery in England. TJie bulk of the valuable trade of the Red River country is at present made tributary to the Western States. Penetrating through their own unsettled ter- ritory a distance of some hundreds of miles, the people of Minnesota have spared no exertion or expense to secure the large and profitable commerce of tne R. R. country beyond. The returns have amply rewarded them for their outlay, and if mere trading interests are considered as a sufficient compensation by the Minne- sotians for opening up communication to the Red River (to them a foreign country), how much more ought the same considerations, when superadded to the many others of equal if not of yet higher import- ance, which apply in the case of Canada, to cause sur- f irise in regard to our indecision and supineness in not ong before stretching forth our communication so as to embrace a country presenting so many features of interest. The trade passing between the R. R. settle- ment and the United States, even in the present con- dition of the North West, was stated by the Earl of Carnarvon in his place in the House of Lords to amount to no less than $1,500,000, during the summer of 1859. Added to this, traffic to the amount of at least $500,000 finds its way through the channels of the Hudson Bay. Thus there is a commerce of about $2,000,000 annually maintained with the North West, the greater portion of which, even supposing most of the country to continue under the control of the H. B. Company, would pass over the proposed new' route attracted thither by the three combined requisites, cheapness of carriage, shortness of the road, and speed. Such being the trade of the country, whilst as yet but slightly im- proved from its natural state, who shall estimate its value w'hen brought under the influences of advancing civilization, and made to administer to the wants of the millions we are assured of its capability of sustaining in comfort and affluence. From Toronto to Fort Garry, by way of St. Paul, or, as it is called, the Minnesota route, the distance is over 1500 miles; bv the Lake Superior, or Canadian, 1114 miles. The former, in its unimproved state, was the more practicable, because of the nature of the soil, the evenness of surface, and comparative absence of wood- land ; but, with each equally improved, ours would be decidedly the more advantageous. In July last the undersigned, considering an arrange- ment, the preliminaries of which had been agreed upon for the carrying of the mails to Fort William, to be at once improvident, and useless as regards the opening up of the territory, recommended its ai r g;tion and the establishment of a temporary mail service for the season, pending further action of a more permanent character. In the report which he had then the honor to make, and which was adopted by the Governor General in Council, the importance of aiding in the securing of the needed communication with the N. W. Territories, was fully sanctioned. He now respectfully submits that to render effective the suggestions then so recognized, it is desirable that immediate steps should be taken to commence at the opening of navigation next year, a series of operations having for their object, first, the establishment of a regular mail service to the head of Lake Superior; and, secondly, the construction of roads and the improvement of the lakes and rivers thence westward tow ards British Columbia. From the best information obtainable on the subject, and which the undersigned believes to be wholly reliable, it is as- certained that a sum of £80,000 would be abundantly sufficient for the permanent opening up and establish- ment of efficient and continuous land and water com- munication to Red River from the head of Lake Supe- rior. Thence to the passes of the Rocky Mountains, it is estimated that an additional £100,000 would be amply adequate. Thus the whole expenditure, includ- ing steam service on Lake Superior and on the navi- gable reaches beyond would certainly not exceed £ 200 , 000 . In view of all the facts and circumstances, and feel- ing that on our people it is the initiative in the matter rests — that it is to this Province the Imperial Govern- ment looks for a commencement of the movement, a movement demanded alike from our patriotism and our interests— the undersigned considers himself fully jus- tified in submitting that— unless the Government deem it expedient to proceed under the direction of the Com- missioner of Public Works— as soon as it can be satis- factorily shewn that competent and responsible parties are prepared to assume the work, they should propose to Parliament the granting of an annual subsidy of $50,000, or such other sum as his Excellency the Gov- ernor General in Council mav deem judicious, for a term of years, towards the undertaking. Report of Committee of Executive Council, approved by Governor General in Council, 9th Feb. 1803. “The Committee having taken into consideration the report of the Postmaster General, concur in the opinion expressed in that report, and advise that a sum of $50,000 be placed in the estimates of the approaching session, for the purpose of carrying out the same in the manner suggested in that report, or in any other that may be deemed more advantageous.” During the past year, the interests of the Hudson Bay Company have been disposed of. The new Com- pany proposed a scheme for opening up the territory between Canada and British ( olumbia, by a trans-con- tinental waggon road and telegraph line, with the ulti- mate view of constructing a raihvay. The Duke of Newcastle, in a speech in the House of Lords in July, 1883, stated the facts of this transfer as foil >ws : — The II, B. Co. had expressed a wish to sell. Certain parties in the city had, in the first instance, entered into communication with them for the purpose either of purchasing or obtaining permission for a transit through the Company's possessions. After some nego- tiations, the alternative of permission for a transit w r as agreed upon. But a fortnight or three weeks ago fresh negotiations wore opened. Farties in the city proposed to the H. B. Co. to give them by way of purchase a sum of £1,500,000. What had appeared in the papers was that the rights of the H. B. Co. had been transferred to the International Financial Asso- ciation. What had taken place was this :— The II. B. Co. very prudently lequired that the money should be paid down, and that the whole sum of £1,600,000 be ready on a given day, which he believed was yes- terday. Of course the intending purchasers could not carry out that transaction in the course of a week, and they therefore applied to the International Financial Association to assist them. The Association agreed to do so, and the money either had been paid, or would be ready on a day arranged upon. The shares would 224 HUDSON BAY TERRITORY, [1864. B. N. A. be thrown upon the market to be taken up in the ordinary business way upon the formation of compa- nies. These shares would not remain in the hands of the association, but would pass to the proprietors as if they had bought theirshares direct from the II. B. Co. The company would only enjoy the rights which those shares carried, and no more. They would in fact, be a continuation of the company, but their efforts would be directed to the promotion of the settlement of the country, the development of the postal and transit communication being one of the objects to which they would apply themselves. The old Governor and his colleagues, having sold their shares, ceased to be the governing body of the H. B. Co., and anew council, consisting of most responsible persons, had been formed. Among them were two of the committee of the old company. There were also seven or eight most influential and responsible people, the|Govern or being Sir Edmund Head. While the Council, as practical men of business, would be bound to promote the pros- perity of their shareholders, he was sure they would be actuated by statesmanlike views. No negotiation with the Colonial Office had taken place, and, as this was a mere ordinary transfer, no leave on their part was ne- cessary. But arrangements must be entered into with the Colonial Offico for the settlement of the country, and at some future time it would be no doubt his duty to inform their lordships what these arrangements were. Prof. Hind, writing in the British American for Oc- tober, says : “A few months ago the public were taken by surprise at the announcement that the Hudson Bay Co. had disposed of the whole of its rights and interests in the vast territory over which it had so long held un- disputed sway, to a new company, bearing the same name, but with far more liberal views of its duties and responsibilities. The II . B. Co. of 1862 had but one ob- ject in view, namely, the prosecution of the fur trade; and in order to accomplish its mission as a great fur- trading monopoly it sought to retain the wilderness over which it exercised absolute control as a preserve for wild animals. The H. B. Co. of 1863 have marked out a very different course of action, if we are to be guided bv the prospectus issued, the announcements made in the public prints, and by the steps which have already been taken to carry out the projects of the company, who are ‘ to extend their operations, and de- velop the numerous resources of the country, in accord- ance with the spirit of the age.’ The work of construct- ing a telegraph across the continent has been already commenced, and it is generally understood that the lirst step will be the construction of a line from Fort Garry to Jasper House, on the east flank of the Rocky Mountains. A continuation will then be made along the line of road now in course of construction from New Westminster to Cariboo, which, according to recent accounts from California, is rapidly progressing to completion.” The Toronto Globe , in October last, said: "Notwithstanding the high position of the entrepre- neurs of the new H. B. Co., the stock fell immediately after it was placed on the market, to between two and three per cent, discount, and is, by the last advices, at 2 to 3 discount. We cannot say what effect this unwil- lingness of capitalists to invest may have upon the movements of the Company. The million and a-half to the old Company will, of course, be paid, the Interna- tional Association being responsible for it, but whether the new Company will be in a position to proceed at once with the works necessary to open up the country, is at least questionable." Mixture of Races in Red River .— The population of this settlement consists mainly of what are termed half* breeds, in whose veins the blood of the red man is com- mingled with that of the white. The half-breeds, how- ever, are said to be on a par with the whites, both physically and mentally, and perfect good feeling ex- ists between the two classes. The Governors of British Columbia audited River are both said to have mar- ried ladies of mixed race. Almanac. 1864.] NOVA SCOTIA. 225 NOVA SCOTIA. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. Nova Scotia, up to the year 1784, included the province now called New Brunswick, the whole being formerly known under the name of Acadia, which was the term used iu the original commis- sion of the king of France. The country was dis- covered by Sebastian Cabot in 1498. In 1518, Baron De L<§ry, an adventurous Frenchman, anxious that his country should have a share in the work of colo- nization, proposed to found a French establishment in Acadia, and accordingly set sail with a company of explorers; but the enterprise miscarried, owing to tempestuous weather and other obstacles. No further attempt was made till about 1603, when the Sicur de Font Grav6, lured by the prospect of gain, formed a plan to obtain a monopoly of the fur trade in Canada and Acadia. In 1603, Champlain having sailed up the St. Lawrence as far as Sault St. Louis, Henry IV. of France w as so pleased with the result of his voyage, that he granted to M. de Monts a monopoly of the fur traffic in all parts of North America lying between Cape Race, in Newfoundland, up to the 50th degree of north latitude. The expedition under de Monts sailed in March 1604. Acadia, then the chief place of resort for French traffic, was considered to be the finest country of New France. It possessed fine ports, a fertile soil, and a temperate and salubrious climate. The Micmac or Algonquin Indians, who then inhabited the country, are said to have received the French with kindness. The expedition landed first at Port Rossignol, now named Liverpool, and afterwards coasted the peninsula as far as the bottom of the Bay of Fundy. It also stopped at Port Royal, now called Annapolis, and finally wintered in an islet at the mouth of the Ste. Croix. Thirty-six of the party died of scurvy during the winter, and in spring De Monts went further south. During his absonce Pont Grav6 arrived from France with 40 additional colo- nists, and on the return of De Monts, the entire body set out for Port Royal, where they began to build a town. During these early attempts to found settle- ments, Lcscarbot, the philosopher, was of invaluable service to the colonists. Under his guidance the set- tlers constructed water-mills for grinding grain, fur- naces for clarifying gum, apparatus for making bricks, and many other useful machines, the operation of w hich filled the aborigines with astonishment. But misfortunes came upon the settlement. A party of Dutchmen seized a wffiole year’s store of peltries ; and the merchants of St. Malo, who were jealous of the monopoly of the peltry traffic, succeeded in getting it revoked. These disasters caused the colonists to leave Port Royal in 1617. De Monts went to Canada. Three years after, Do Poutrincourt, the governor, returned with a number of skilled artisans. But the Jesuits, after the assassination of Henry IV., having succeeded in effecting an entrance into the colony, many of the settlers retired from the Acadian associa- tion in disgust, and dissensions sprang up, which proved the ruin of the settlement The colonists of Virginia also interfered, claiming Acadia by right of original discovery. Captain Argali, from Virginia, following up this pretension, appeared suddenly before St. Sauveur with a ship of 14 guns, and carried the place by storm. The government of Virginia subse- quently resolved to expel the French from every point, southward of the 45th parallel of north latitude, including the central region of Acadia; and Argali’ with three armed vessels, was commissioned to put the resolution into force. Port Royal was destroyed. Some of the colonists fled, and Poutrincourt returned to France. The Virginians left Acadia; but, in 1621, Sir William Alexander obtained a grant of the Peninsula from James I. of England, the territory, the extent of which was not well defined, being called Nova Scotia in the patent. In 1622, Alexander sent a body of emigrants to begin a settlement. Arriving late in the season they were obliged to winter in Newfoundland. In 1623 they reached Cape Sable, but finding the French in possession of the settlements they intended to occupy, they returned to Britain. In 1628, Charles I. granted certain tracts of land to various persons, who were to be called “ baronets of Nova Scotia.” They were created as a sort of associa- tion for the purpose of colonizing the country. But in 1632, by the treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye, Britain renounced all the pretensions that had ever been put forward by her subjects, and the possession of the Acadian settlements was confirmed to France. An intestine war, however, arose between La Tour, who had obtained a concession of Alexander's rights, and Charnisey, who had been named chief governor of Acadia in 1647. After a fierce struggle, the latter proved victorious. But in 1654 Cromwell sent an expedition to regain Acadia, and the sovereignty of the country was for some time divided. In 1667, by the treaty of Breda, Acadia was again transferred to France. The development of the country had been greatly neglected by both French and English. The land was held in immense tracts by patentees, who systematically op- posed its improvement. After the peace of Breda the French establishments continued so weak that a band of pirates numbering only 110, captured Pentagoet, the headquarters of Gov. Chambly. In 1685, the po- pulation w as reported to be 900, by M. De Meules. In 1690, Port Royal surrendered to Admiral Phipps, and the British remained masters of Acadia till 1697, when it w as once more restored to the French. 31. de Villebon, who was governor at this time, having died July 1700, Brouillon succeeded. War having been declared against France at the beginning of Queen Anne’s reign, the possession of Acadia w'as again disputed. The New Englanders organized an- other expedition for its conquest in 1707. On the 6th June of this year, a squadron of two ships of war, and 23 transports carrying 2,000 men, appeared before Port Royal. The fortifications being well defended, this and a subsequent attack were repulsed, but finally, in 1710, Port Royal was forced to surrender to a colonial expedition, and the loss of Acadia was involved in the surrender. The power of France being weakened by protracted w ar, she w as obliged to cedeAcadia.together with Newfoundland and the Hudson Bay territory, to Britain, by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. One of the motives which prompted this eager struggle between the two nations for theproprietorship of Nova Scotia, 226 NOVA SCOTIA. [ 1864 . B. N A. was the desire on the part of each to obtain exclusive possession of the fisheries. The French having lost Acadia and Newfoundland, the two portals of Canada, began to construct fortifi- cations on the island of Cape Breton, then called Isle Royale, as a protection to their Canadian possessions. The first settlement in this island (which was united under the same government with Nova Scotia in 1819,) was made in 1712 by the French. It had been dis- covered by Cabot in 1497. Previous to the year 1700 it had been frequented only by fur traders and fishermen. Alter the loss of Acadia, the French turned their atten. tion to this island, and began to build the fortifications of Louisburg, which continued to be the capital for many years, the government being modelled on that of Canada. War having again been declared between France and England, Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts formed the design of taking Louisburg, though the place was supposed to be almost impregnable. The expedition sailed from Boston, and arrived at Canso on the 5th April 1745. The reinforcements dispatched by the French were captured by the English admiral, and Louisburg was finally forced to capitulate. The Canadians in great alarm, sent to France for help, and an expedition was got up to reconquer Acadia and Cape Breton. But the hostile fleet met with ter- rible disasters. Wrecked and dispersed by violent storms, and the crews thinned by epidemic, the ex- pedition accomplished nothing, and only a remnant returned to France. By the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, Cape Breton was restored to France, but it was soon alter finally attached to the British posses- sions. Nova Scotia had thus, after a tedious alternation of proprietorship, come wholly under British rule. Little, however, was done to develop the resources of the coun- try till 1749, when efforts were put forth to colonize it by emigrants sent out at the expense of the British government. About 4,000 colonists and their families being by this means lauded in the colony, the town of Halifax was founded. The capture of Louisburg having secured the settlers from further annoyance by the French, the colony progressed rapidly. A consti- tution was granted in 1758, modified m 1784, and re- sponsible government introduced in 1848. By the treaty of Paris, in Feb. 1763, France renounced all claim upon her British North American possessions, with a few trivial exceptions. New Brunswick and Cape Breton were separated from Nova Scotia in 1784, but Cape Breton and Nova Scotia ware re-united in 1819. After the final cession of Acadia to Britain by the treaty of 1713, many of the Acadians remained in the country, but refused to take the oath of allegiance. They were allowed to follow their own mode of wor- ship, and to have magistrates of their own selection. Being also exempted from bearing arms against their countrymen, they received the name of noutral French. When the French had lost Acadia and built the fortifi- cations at Louisburg, as mentioned above, they in- trigued with the Indians, who constantly harassed the English. The neutral French, who for the most part were a peaceful agricultural people, were suspected of giving assistance to the hostile French and Indians; and as they still refused to take the oath of allegiance, or bear arms against their countrymen, the governor and council resolved to remove the whole people 18,000 in number, and disperse them among the other provinces. This determination was rigorously carried out, the greater part of the inhabitants being hurriedly shipped, their property destroyed, and themselves scattered over the continent. The legislature of Nova Scotia consists of an elective house of assembly, and a council of twenty-one mem- bers, appointed by the lieutenant governor subject to the approval of the crown. The lieutenant governor is assisted by a council of nine members. The laws in force in Nova Scotia are the same as the laws of Eng- land, with some local alterations and additions. The province was created a diocese in 1787. There are also two Roman Catholic bishoprics — Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. This Province is, including Cape Breton, 350 miles in length, 100 in breadth, and in 1861 contained 330,857 inhabitants. The country is beautifully variegated by ranges of lofty hills and broad valleys, both of which run longi- tudinally through the Province. Its Atlantic frontier, for 20 miles inland, is composed of a poor soil, though rich in gold and other valuable minerals. The Cobe- quid range of mountains, as they are called, run through the interior of the Province. The sum- mits of a few of the conical mounts of this range as- cend 1100 feet, and are cultivable nearly to their tops. Oji each side of these mountains are two exten- sive ranges of rich arable lands, where agricultural operations are carried on extensively, and with profit. The Province is 900 miles in circumference; and, with the exception of 15 miles, where it joins New Brunswick, it faces the Atlantic, Bay of Fundy, Straits of Northumberland, and Gulf of St. Lawrence. Deep and spacious harbors dot its seaboard ; and the interior is pierced in all directions by navigable rivers, thus ad- mirably adapting the country for commercial pursuits.

The internal war of that country is now re- tarding commercial intercourse; though it has been the cause of many additional vessels being built in the Lower Provinces. The intercolonial treaty provid- ing for the interchange of native products, has also afforded an impetus to commercial intercourse be- tween the British North American Colonies. But what is now desired, is a railway from Halifax to River du Loup, to bind the Lower Provinces to Canada; give a stimulus to commercial intercourse; develop the latent resources of the country; and bind four millions of loyal people together.

As the Natural History of each of the Lower Pro- vinces is very much alike, it is needless to repeat the subject hero in detail. We therefore refer the reader to the section of this work relating to New Bruns- wick for a brief outline of the Natural History of the country. GEOLOGY. New Tied, Sandstone. — This system is confined to a narrow bolt which circles the head of Minas basin and Cobequid bay, and a narrow ridge extending from Annapolis basin along the bay of Fundv, and within five miles of the last named bay, to the Minas basin. Minerals. — The minerals of this system are not suffi" ciently extensive to warrant mining operations; the principal are magnetic and specular iron ore, copper, quartz, and a great variety of finely crystalized minerals not of much use in commerce, though of importance to the geologist in ascertaining the geological cha- racter of the country. Carboniferous, or Coal Districts. — This district forms a large part of the counties of Cumberland, Colchester, Hants, Pictou, Sydney, Guysborough, and the island of Cape Breton. Minerals. — Coal in great abundance and of good quality, grindstone, limestone, gypsum, iron ore, grey oxide of manganese, galena, or sulphate of lead, sand- stone, brick and pottery clay, sulphate of barytes, used as a substitute for white lead, and copperas. Coal is raised at Pictou, Joggins, and Sydney. Devonian and, Upper Silurian Pocks. — This system lies in detached spots, in the counties of Digby, Anna- polis, Kings, Cumberland, Colchester, Pictou, Sydney, Guysborough, and the southern Atlantic coast of Cape Breton island. Minerals. — Iron ore is very plentiful and of good qual- ity at Great Village, Colchester; Moose river and Nictau in Annapolis, and East river of Pictou. The varieties of iron ore are specular, magnetic, and brown hematite, along with anthracite and other ferruginous substances. The other minerals of this system are cop- per in small quantities; sulphate of barytes, white, coloured, and spotted marble; porphyry and quartz. The Metamorphic District — Extends along the Atlan- tic coast of Nova Scotia proper, from Chedabucto bay to Saint Mary's bay. Its length is 250 miles, breadth 40 miles ; it consists of altered rocks such as clay-stone, quartz rock, mica stone, granite, gneiss, etc. The Metamorphic district until within the last three years was considered the most unprofitable formation in the Province. Gold is now found in large quantities, imbedded in the slaty and quartzite rocks of this for- mation, as will appear from the details given below. MINERALS. There is no country on the American Continent, of equal extent, where useful minerals are so abundant, and where the facilities for transportation are so ad- vantageous as in Nova Scotia. Gold, copper, iron ore, and coal, besides numerous other mineral substances, valuable in commerce, are abundant. Gold has been found in all parts of the metamorphic district. With the exception of a few spots of alluvial diggings, gold is found in quartz veins, varying in thickness from the fraction of an inch to several feet. The quartz with the accompanying rocks are very bard, and run in all directions. The following tabular statement is extracted from the Gold Commissioners’ Report for 1862. It shows the total quantity of gold obtained from quartz and rubbish crushed, and from alluvial washings. District. Gold obtained from Total. j Quantity. Quartz Crushed. Rubbish Crushed.

The average number of men employed during the year was 500; so the quantity obtained would average over one dollar per aay to each labourer. The rent system having been abolished, and royalty only collected, the additional experience employed in mining, washing, and amalgamating, is now lead- ing to a more enlarged development of this vast resource of wealth. The amount of gold obtained in 1863 far exceeds that of the previous year. Copper has been discovered in numerous places. Iron Ore is abundant and of the best quality. Two foundries have been established in Annapolis County; and in Londonderry are situated the “ Acadian Iron and Steel Company” works. These works produce large quantities of iron of the best quality. Coal.— The following tabular statement shows the quantity of coal raised, sold, and exported from the mines of Nova Scotia in 1862 : Mines and Proprietors.

B. N. A. The value of coal exported in 1862, was #624,904. There were exported in 1862, from the quarries of Nova Scotia, as follows: — StoTie to the value of. #22,223 Gypsum “ “ 30,425 Total value of exports from the mines and quarries #677,552. Though lime is not among the exports, there were 136,848 bushels manufactured in 1861. FISHERIES. This important branch of industry gives employment to a large amount' of tonnage; and supplies a large item of domestic food, besides adding greatly to the exports of the country, as will be seen by the follow- ing tabular statement of the products of the sea and rivers for 1850 and 1860 Vessels employed Boats “ 1850. 812 5161 1860. 900 8816 Men Quintals of dried fish Mackerel, barrels Shad, “ 196,434 100,047 3536 14,322 396,425 66,108 7649 194,170 12,565 2481 Herrings, ** . * 53200 Alewives, “ 5343 Salmon, “ 1669 Salmon, smoked, Boxes of herring 15409 2738 35557 The value of the fish caught in 1860, was #2,376,721; and the value of the products of the sea exported in 1862, was #2,335,104, exclusive of the value offish used in the colony during the latter year. PRODUCTS OP THE FOREST. Of the proceeds of this branch of industry, there were exported in 1862:— Lumber to the value of. #440945 Laths 3842 Shingles 20359 Staves 45711 Spars, &c. 19277 Timber 14722 Firewood 70711 Total value #611725 This is exclusive of large amounts used for domestic purposes, and shipbuilding. The largest amount of tonnage built in the Province in any year, was in 1854. It amounted in that year to 52,814 tons, value #2,546,595. Since that year the amount of tonnage built has varied from twenty thousand to forty thousand tons per annum. CROWN LANDS. In 1862 there were 320 grants issued, comprising 38,688 acres; and the proceeds of sales in that year amounted to #15,104. The net revenue, after deducting expenses, was #6,446. According to the report of a Committee of the Legis- lature, in 1863, there were 770,000 acres of ungranted lands tit for profitable cultivation; of this quantity 620,000 were in Nova Scotia proper, and 150,000 acres in Cape Breton. The cultivab’e lands were distributed in the counties as follows : — The County of Annapolis 100,000 acres. “ Colchester 25,000 “ Cumberland 75,000 “ Gnysborough 80,000 “ Hants &5,000 “ King's 55,000 “ Lunenburg 80,000 “ Pictou 37,000 “ Shelburne 20,000 Halifax 45,000 “ Queen's 8,000 “ Yarmouth 15,000 “ Sydney 6,000 “ Digby 40,000 The 150,000 acres in Cape Breton are in small blocks, the largest from 1000 to 5000, and chieflv occupied by squatters. There is a large tract (35,000 acres) in the county of Hants, about ten miles from the Railroad station at Windsor, that might be opened up for settlement without much cost, as roads now run to these valuable lands. EMIGRATION. Emigration to Nova Scotia has been for the last tea or fifteen years on a very limited scale. Indeed the government of the country almost lost sight of the subject for a long time. In 1863, the Legislature of the Province passed an act “ to provide for the distribu- tion and settlement of industrious immigrants." The Government Immigration Office is now open at 46, Bedford Row, Halifax, where the duties ac- cording to the Act of last Session of the House of Assembly will be attended to and carried on. Persons wishing to engage mechanics or laborers can call and enter their names and addresses. Immigrants arriv- ing, or who have recently arrived, and requiring aid or intormation from the Agent, can obtain the same, in so far as lies in his power, by application at the office. MANUFACTURES. In addition to that included under the head of “ Agricultural Products," above given,— the factories and manufactures for 1861 w T cre as follows: — Hand Looms 13,230 Bricks, No 7,659 Carriages 2,131 Leather, value #240,386 Malt liquor, galls 109,867 Mills, factories, &c., #1,741,584 In addition there were 47 block and pump makers, 12 brass founders, 147 cabinet makers, 4 boiler ma- kers, 1,147 coopers, 15 chair makers, 3 soap end candle factories, 3 axe factories, 6 gun smiths, 1 paper mill, 1 tobacco mill, 2 nail factories, 11 iron foundries, 3 cabinet factories, 8 shoe factories, 1 engine factory, 1 pottery, 1 pari factory, 414 grist mills, &c. The value of these with other factories is estimated at #1,011,480. There are in addition 1401 saw mills, 130 shingle mills, 6 lath mills. The total value of land, stock, vessels, mills, facto- ries, &c., was #34,312,538. And of tho agricultural pro- ducts, fish, forest products, minerals, &c., #13,626,1-31. Tliis estimate is exclusive of stocks, &c., and real estate. PUBLIC WORKS-CANALS. There are two Canals in Nova Scotia in course of construction. The one leading from Halifax to Cobequid Bay was commenced in 1825. Owing to financial difficulties the first Company failed to finish it. A new T Company has recently been organized ; and the works are now nearly completed. The St. Peter’s Canal is a Government work. The object of it is to connect St. Peter's Bay on the Atlantic coast of Cape Breton Island with Bras d’Or Lake, dis- tance 2,300 feet. The Commissioners for the construction of this Canal are William LeVesconte, Robert Kavanagh, and Edwin Fiinn. RAILWAYS. There are two railways in the Province, one from Halifax to Truro, 61 miles; the other, a branch to Windsor, 32 miles; in all 93 miles. Total cost of con- struction up to the end of 1862 was #4,273,282. The Report of the special Commissioners in 1863 states that it will require an expenditure of nearly #100,000 to place the railways of Nova Scotia in an efficient state of repair. The aggregate number of passengers that travelled on the Railways of Nova Scotia in 1862 w as 104,524. The follow ing table gives the results of operations from 1860 to 1862. 1860. 186L 1862.

The laws of Nova Scotia have recently been revised and simplified. The Supreme Court has powers similar to those exer- cised by the Courts of Queen's Bench, Exchequer, Common IMeas, and Chancery. It has jurisdiction as low as twenty dollars, and is the court of appeal from the decisions of Justices of the reace in civil suits. Justices* Courts . — There are upwards of fourteen hundred Justices of the Peace in the Province. In civil suits the jurisdiction is as high as forty dollars. These courts hold criminal examinations, and try nu- merous small offences. Courts of Sessions .— These courts are held in each countv once a year, or oftener, and have power to try larcenies up to forty dollars. Local officers are ap- pointed at the sessions. In each County there is a Court of Probate , which has control of the property of deceased persons. There is also a Court of Error, of Vice- Admiralty , and of Marriage and Divorce.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION. Nova Scotia is in advance of many older countries in the extent of telegraphic communication. Almost every town and village is connected with the capital, Halifax, by this speedy means of communication. There are now nearly 1,200 miles in operation. The lines in the Province are owned by the “ Nova Scotia Elec- tric Telegraph Company." They have upwards of fifty offices in the Province. The cost of communicating messages is 12 cents for ten w’ords, any distance under 80 miles, and over that distance and not exceeding 160 miles, 24 cents. The Telegraph Companies of the Lower Provinces, except P. Edward Island, have leased their lines to the American Telegraph Company, which is composed of Shareholders resident in the Colonies and American States. This Company has control of the continuous line from Newfoundland to New Orleans. CURRENCY. This Province, in common with Canada and New Brunswick, has accepted the decimal system of cur- rency. The sovereign passes for $5.00; the English shilling for $0.25; Crown, $1.25. Fractional parts of these coins pass at proportional rates. The value of United States and several other coins is subject to frequent change. BANKS— NOVA SCOTIA. HALIFAX BANKING COMPANY. ESTABLISHED 1825. DIRECTORS .* Jas. C. Cogswell, president ; Wm.

EDUCATION— NOVA SCOTIA. The most important class of Educational Institutions are the Common schools. These schools are supported partly by Legislative grants, and partly by voluntary contributions of the people. The average number of schools in 1862 was 1.094; pupils, 36,067; and the Pro- vincial aid was $47,888, and that by the people w r as $129,999. The Normal and Training school is situated at Truro, a beautiful and healthy village — a railway station near the centre of the Province. It was established in 1855, and is supported principally by Provincial grants. The next in importance are the Grammar schools and Academies. The colleges in 1862 numbered six, attended by an &g|? rc g a t e of 375 students. The oldest institution ol tins class is King’s, Windsor, which was founded in 1789. It is Episcopalian, but open to ull classes. Acadia college, at Wolfville, Baptist; St. Mary’s college, Halifax, and St. Xavier’s college, Antigonish, both Catholic, are literary institutions of a high order. The curriculum of study in all these institutions em- braces the several branches of natural and mental philosophy, with the ancient and modern languages. Dalhousie college w*as incorporated in 1820; but through party strife and other untoward circumstances it has not ranked among the useful institutions of the Province. The funds belonging to it have hitherto been locked up. In the latter part of 1863, however, it wras re-organized under auspicious circumstances, and a staff of six professors was appointed. The curri- culum of study is comprehensive ; and it is believed that this institution will now accomplish the end for which it was established by the nobleman whose name it bears, and become the University of Nova Scotia.

This city, the capital of Nova Scotia, is situated nearly in the centre of the Atlantic frontier of the Province, in lat. 44° 39' 20" North, and long. 63° 36' 40" West— in time, 4 h. 14 m. 26 sec. The city stands on the west side of Halifax Bay, the Chebucto of the Indians. This deep and spacious bay is open at all seasons of the year, and is capable of holding in safety the naval and commercial marine of England. The city of Halifax extends about two and a half miles along the harbor, and about three quarters of a mile up the side of a commanding hill, the sum- mit of which is 260 feet above the level of the sea. It is surrounded by the citadel, Fort George, which over- looks the city, harbor, and surrounding country. This fort is considered impregnable. Halifax was founded by Lord Cornwallis in 1749; declared a free port in 1817; and incorporated in 1841. The streets are systematically laid out; and the citv is lighted with gas. The southwestern part of the city, Spring Gardens, is a most delightful district; and in the rear of the city lies the “Common,” containing 250 acres of land, where military reviews and other displays are held. The surrounding landscape is beau- tiful. The harbor is land-locked, and protected at all points by heavy cannon; near its mouth stands Mc- Nab’s Island, which is three miles in length, half a mile in width, and contains 1,090 acres. There is a light on this island, to enable vessels to enter the har- bor safely. On the eastern side of the harbor is Fort Clarence. Opposite to the city stands George’s Island, strongly fortified: and on Point Pleasant, south of the city, there arc several batteries. Among the public es- tablishments, the Queen’s Dockyard is the most im- portant. Within its enclosure are vast work-houses and other edilices, including the Admiral’s House. The Province Building, situated near the centre of the city, is built of freestone, 140 feet long, 70 broad, and 42 in height; it contains the legislative cham- bers and departmental offices. Dalhousie College, recently re-organized ; Temperance Hall, the Mechan- ics’ Institute, Court House, insurance Offices, Masons' Hall, Lyceum, and Horticultural Gardens, arc attract- ive objects. Many of the private edifices are elegant. There are numerous societies, for purposes of instruc- tion and amusement, which are well supported by the citizens. Halifax is the Atlantic terminus of the railway to Truro and branch to Windsor. It is also the depot for the surplus agricultural products of the Province. It is an important military post, "There are usually sta- tioned here two regiments of infantry, and companies of artillery and engineers. It is also the naval station for the North American and West Indian fleets. The admiral resides at Halifax in summer, and in Bermuda in winter. The following statistical summary will show the pro- gress of the city of Halifax : Population in 1790 was 4,000 souls ; in 1827, 14,439 ; in 1851, 19,949 ; and in 1861 it was 25,026. Trade . — The principal part of the commerce is car- ried on with the American States, and the North American and West Indian Colonies. The principal part of the exports consist of produce of the fisheries.

This is the most important town on the northeastern coast of Nova Scotia It is situated on the Straits of Northumberland, and forms apart of the county of the same name. It is the point of arrival and departure of steamers between Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, northern coast of New Brunswick, and Cana- da; and a depot for the gu If trade. Two steamers, during the summer, ply between Quebec and Pictou via New Brunswick ; and one traverses the route twice a week between Pictou and Shediac.

This company has now three marine, railways, of the most improved description, in complete working or- der. One railway has two cradles, of 250 tons capacity each, one of which may be worked while the other re- mains stationary. The other cradles are resjiectively of 700 and 1,500 tons capacity, and all are worked by steam power, raising vessels’in a few minutes. Mate- rials for repairing vessels are at hand.

This company owns a canal, or inland water commu- nication, extending from Halifax harbor to the basin of Minas, nearly 50 miles in length, capable of passing- boats 66 feet long by 16 feet wide, drawing four feet ot water. This canal, known as the “Shubenacadie Canal/* was commenced thirty years ago, but was not com- pleted until quite recently. It has cost the various companies that have owned it $400,000 in all. The- present company purchased it for about $45,000. It is now in good working order, and from the increasing traffic upon it, bids fair to become a paying concern. 246 PATENTS — NOVA SCOTIA. [1864.

The province of New Brunswick was formerly united to Nova SGotia, under the name of Acadia or New France. The principal events in the early history of the colony will be found under the head of Nova Sco- tia. The first settlers were French emigrants under De Monts. The country was ceded to the British in 1713 by the treaty of Utrecht. In 1764, a year after the possession of the colony had been finally confirmed to Britain, the first permanent settlements by British colonists were established. When the United States had gained their independence, a considerable number of the loyalists emigrated to New Brunswick, and their descendants now form a part of the population. In 1784 the present limits of New Brunswick were divided from Nova Scotia and erected into a separate province by a special constitutional charter, the ad- ministration of which was confided to colonel Carleton. In the autumn of 1785 the first general elec tion of re- presentatives took place ; and in January 1784, the first legislative assembly was held at St. John. Soon after his appointment the city of Fredericton was selected by governor Carleton as the scat of government, and has since remained the metropolis. The place at that time was composed of a few irregularly built huts; and St. John, now an opulent and flourishing city, was not of much greater extent. In 1803, governor Carleton was removed to England, after having governed the province for nearly twenty years, during which period it had rapidly increased in population and importance. The northern counties remained uninhabited till the middle of the eighteenth century. Only a century ago, in the summer of 1764, the first British settler, Mr. Wm. Davidson, a gentleman from the north of Scotland, arrived in the county of Northumberland. At this time not a single house was erected, nor a single Euro- pean resident within the limits of the county. The Micmac Indians were still the virtual lords of the soil. In 1825, a remarkable conflagration occurred, which resulted in the loss of many lives, and great destruction of property. The summer of this year had been unusually warm and dry, and extensive fires had raged in different parts of Nova Scotia. Throughout the northern part of New Brunswick hardly any rain had fallen, and from the 1st to the 5th October, the heat was extraordinary. The fire, which had been creeping through the forests, approached some of the settlements, and the heat became intense. About 9 o’clock on the night of the 7th October, the fire burst through the forestin the rear of Newcastle, and that town, together with Douglastown, and the northern side of the Mira- michi, for a hundred miles, were enveloped in smoke and flame. The wooden houses, the stores containing spirits, powder, and other combustible articles, the stables and barns of the towns and settlements, became a speedy prey to the devouring fire, and produced a terrible scene of confusion and devastation. Newcastle, a flourishing town of 1000 inhabitants, was left a heap of smoking ruins, and hundreds of miles of country were laid waste. In this conflagration 160 persons were burned, or drowned in the river, 595 build- ings, and 875 head of cattle were destroyed. The loss of property was estimated at £204,323, of wdiich only £12,050 was covered by insurance. The legisla- ture of Lower Canada voted £2,500 for the relief of the sufferers, and contributions to the extent of £35.383 were received from Great Britain, the United States, and the neighbouring colonies. The burnt towns and villages were soon rebuilt in a style of greater solidity and magnificence. The trade of the colony continued to progress rapidly, being considerably promoted by the reciprocity treaty between British America and the United States. The number of ships built in the province in 1854 was 135; tonnage 99,426. In 1855, 866 vessels belonged to the port of St. John. In 1851, there were 845 saw and grist mills in the province; 125 tan- neries, 11 foundries, 52 weaving and carding establish- ments, and 94 other factories. A university was founded at Fredericton in 1828. GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION AND GENE- RAL OBSERVATIONS. This province is situated between 45° and 48° 7 r N. lat. ; and between 63° 50' and 69° W. long. Its length, from Nova Scotia, on the southeast, to Canada East, on the northwest, is 190 miles; breadth, from the State of Maine, on the southwest, to the Straits of Northumberland on the northeast, 140 miles. It is situated nearly in the centre of the north temperate zone. The area of the Province is 27,710 square miles or 17,600,000 acres. The surface of the country is generally flat or undulating. There are some hills skirting the Bay of Fundy and the Rivers St. John and Restigouche, but they nowhere assume mountain summits. New Brunswick has an external w r ater-line of 410 miles, exclusive of indentations. This coast- line is indented by deep and spacious bays and harbors ; and the face of the province is traversed in all direc- tions by navigable rivers. The Bay of Fundy, with 248 FINANCES — NEW BRUNSWICK, [1864. B. N. A. its affluents, Chignecto and Cumberland bays, is 140 miles in length, by 45, its greatest breadth; and the Bay of Chaleurs, in the northwest, is 8 miles long by 20 broad. The principal rivers are the St. Croix, 60 miles in length; St. John, 450, Petitcadiac, 100; Richi- bucto, 40 ; Miramichi, 200 ; Nipisignit, 90 ; and the Resti- gouche, 200 miles long. There are numerous lakes, varying in size from mere ponds to lakes containing 80 square miles. Of the area of the Province, about 14,000,000 acres are fit for profitable cultivation. There are about 10,000,000 acres still ungranted. These lands are accessible from all sides of the country. Of the granted lands, about 60,000 acres consist of rich allu- vial lands, called marsh; some of which have been producing large crops of excellent hay for upwards of one hundred years. The tides of the Bay of Fundy rise from 20 feet at the city of St. John, to 60 feet at the head of Chignecto Bay; while the tides of the gulf of St. Lawrence, separated only twelve miles from those of the Bay of Fundy, rise from four to seven feet. The Bay of Fundy is navigable for ten months in the year; while the gulf of St. Lawrence is navigable only about seven months. Roads and settlements are nearly continuous around the province, and across it in numerous places. There are two railroads in operation ; one from the city of St. John to Shediac, 108 miles; the other from St. An- drew’s to Woodstock, 100 miles. New Brunswick is divided into fourteen counties ; and these are subdi- vided into parishes ; numbering in the aggregate 117 parishes. Of the counties, Charlotte, St. John, and Albert, lie on the Bay of Fundy. The River St. John in its downward course traverses Victoria, Carleton, York, Sunbury, Queen’s, King's, and St. John. The counties of Westmoreland, Kent, Northumberland, Gloucester, and Restigouche, bound on the Straits of Northumberland, Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Bay of Chaleurs. FINANCES— NEW BRUNSWICK. REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE. The principal part of the revenue of New Brunswick, arising from imports and exports, is collected at the cities of St.John and Fredericton, and at the towns of St. Andrews, St. Stephen, St. George, Moncton, Shediac, Richibucto, Newcastle, Chatham, Bathurst, and Dalhousie. The revenue of New Brunswick, when constituted a Province in 1784, was only $2,968; in 1789, $3,848; in 1803, $14,824; in 1814, $103,512. These sums are ex- clusive of certain fees collected by the Imperial Gov- ernment. In 1834 the revenue amounted to $385,500.

The public debt of the Province in 1862 was $4,714,- 608, principally incurred in the construction of rail- roads. The effects of the Elgin treaty, with respect to the trade of the Province, may be estimated from the fact that in 1855, the year following the treaty, the exports to the United States, amounted to $615,635, while in 1860 they amounted to $1,241,900, having doubled in five years. The exports were derived from the forests, mines, and fisheries. 1860. 1861. 1862.

The total value of goods imported iuto New Bruns- wick in 1862, was £1,291,604 sterling; and exports, £803.445 sterling. This Province imported 232,237 brls. of wheat flour, which, along with other agricultural products import- ed, amounted in value to $1,906,323; principally from the United States, a small part only from Canada. The trade of this Province in 1862, with the other British North American Provinces, was with Imports. Exports.

The large increase in population and general pros- perity, during the last decade, is, in a great measure, due to this department, and the shipbuilding resources of the country still remain apparently undiminished.

In addition to the county scholarships there are six other scholarships, each of the value of $60 per annum, tenable for one year. Schoolmasters, engaged m teaching, and desirous of continuing in the proles- sion, are admited free of all charge for tuition, to such classes in the University as they may wish to attend. The two academies, male and female, at Sackville are pleasantly situated, and afford high collegiate advan- tages. These acadamies are under the control of the Mctl»dists iu the Bower Provinces. The govern- ments of New Scotia and New Brunswick pay annually towards their support $1,000 and $2,400 respectively. This body has recently erected a Theological College in the same vicinity. The Roman Catholics have ten educational institu- tions in the province under their control, some of which impart instruction in all the higher branches of know- ledge, including the languages. They receive annually in the aggregate $3590 trom the provincial revenue, in addition to common school allowance. The Presbyterians have an academy at Woodstock • and the Baptists one at Fredericton. Both these insti- tutions afford instruction in the several branches of mental and natural philosophy, as well as the ancient and modern languages. . T J. 10 grammar and superior schools are intermediate institutions between the elementary schools and the University. The most important class however are the common or elementary schools. These schools have increased from 680, attended by 18,386 pupils, in 1851 to 812 schools, in 1862, attended by 29.000 scholars. ’ The educational system is regulated by a board of education, composed of the Governor and Council and a chief superintendent. There are four school inspectors, who examine the schools twice a year; and a training and model school through which a large portion of the teachers have passed. PROVINCIAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.

After agriculture, the forests of New Brunswick con- stitute, at present, its next great resource. The following enumeration comprises the principal varieties of the forest woods of this Province. Order — Acerinos. — White, black, and soft sugar ma- ple; red maple; striped maple; mosswood, and moun- tain maple. Betulacece . — Of this family there are black, white, yellow, and poplar-leaved birch; alder, and horn- beam. Cupuliferce .— Red and gray oak; white and red beech, and hazel. Oleacece .— This family consists of white, black, and swamp ash. Ulmacece .— White and red elm. Juglanclacece . — The butternut tree is the only speci- men of this family in the Province. Saliacece . — Of this family there are the aspen, white- leaved, necklace, and tree poplar; and the black, swamp, and rose willow. Amvgdalece .— These are the wild plum; red, black, and choke cherry. Jlosacece .— Red thorn, raspberry, and red rose. Caprifoliacece . — Of this family the moss bush, tree cranberry, dogwood, and red berried elder, are the principal. Filiacece. — Basswood. Order — Conferee.— This, in an economical point of view, is the most important of the family of woods in the Lower Provinces. It consists of white and pitch pine; white, red, and black spruce; hemlock, liackma- tac ; balsam, fir, and white cedar. The value of the forest woods of the Province can hardly be estimated. Besides supplying the domestic wants of the country, large quantities are exported in the shape of pine, spruce, and hardwood timber; spruce and pine deals, lumber ; liackmatac and other timber for shipbuilding.

To this must be added the value of the wood- work of vessels sold in Europe In 1862 there were licensed by the government of this Province 2,790 square miles of forest lands for lumbering purposes. FISHERIES. The number of herring, cod, mackerel, shad, ale- wives, and other fish, which annually approach the shores of New Brunswick for purposes connected with the reproduction of their species, is inexhaustible 1 he families most useful in commerce are the follow- ing: Gadidas— The common cod, tomcod, haddock, hake and pellock. Of this family the cod is the most import ant; it appears in the Gulf of St. Lawrence about the end of May, when it is taken in large quantities. Clupeadje.— Herring family .—Herring , shad, and aletmves or gaspereaux.— The herring is very abundant in all the harbors along the Straits of Northumberland • The gaspereaux ascend some of the rivers of this coast in large numbers; they also ascend the rivers on the Bay of Fundy. The shad are numerous in this bay. Salmonid^e.— Sainton, trout {two species,) smelt caplin, and white fish. — Of this family, the salmon is the most important. It arrives in the rivers in June or July, where it remains about three quarters of the year The white fish is a vegetarian; and inhabits the lakes at the head of the river St. John in small quantities I rout inhabit nearly all the lakes and rivers of New Brunswick. This fishery affords excellent sport. Percidae.— Perch, bass, and pond fish belong to this family. Bass are caught in winter and summer in the rivers of the straits. Scomberoide.e.— The mackerel family embraces the spring and fall mackerel, the common tunny and sword fish.— Of these, the mackerel is the most valu- able. Mackerel arrive on the coast about the first of June; after spawning they return to deep water, and again arrive on the coast in August, where they remain until the last of October; then leave for deet> water. r Mammalia.— The seal is a carnivorous and amphi- bious animal. The varieties common to the coasts of the Lower Provinces, are the hooded, harbor, and J\ ar P seal. Harbor seals appear to live apart from the others, and remain in the same place at all seasons of the year; while the others herd together, and are migratory. Cetacea. — There are several varieties of the whale They seldom visit the coasts of the Lower Provinces, Newfoundland excepted. 257 m FI ® H — 9y sters » lobsters, clams, mussels, razor-fish, and crabs, are abundant in the Straits of Stq’uahty 1 ^ and * The oysters of this coast we of the COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THE FISHERIES OF NEW BRUNSWICK.

GEOLOGY. In the absence of a thorough Geological Survey of thlS Ji^ v,nc u’ it8 formations and mineral capabilities, the following brief description may suffice ; The Carboniferous, or Grey Sandstone Dis- trict, covers oyer one-third of the area of the pro- vince; the counties of Westmorland, Kent, North urn- benand, and large portions of Gloucester, York, Sun- hury, Queens and Albert are within this district. The commercial value of the New Brunswick coal field is but partiaHy known as yet; the principal deposit is that of the Albertite, of Albert coun tv, which is a very abundant and highly bituminous species of coal, of great value in the manufacture of gas and oil, and in other commercial relations. oro d limestonc , gypsum, grindstone, brick and pottery clays, oxide of manganese, with many other less useful minerals. Upper Silurian System.— This system includes- northern region of the province; the counties of Restigouche, .Victoria, and parts of Carleton and Northumberland— forming nearly one-third the area of the province . Minerals. Granite, trap, gypsum, limestone, and iron ore. Lower Silurian System . — The rocks of this sys- tem are of a slaty nature, and form a narrow ridge beginning in Albert, and running along the bay of Fundy coast of the counties of Saint John and Char- Minerals — Limestone, copper, antimony and plum- bago : the latter is found in great abundance near the city of St. John. The Cambrian, or Clay Slate Rocks, form two bauds both beginning near Bathurst harbor in the bay of Chaleurs, and running south-westerly to the state of Maine ; the most southerly belt doubles round the western extremity of the coal field. It is a question among geologists whether this formation can be separated from the Silurian system. Minerals.— Limestone and iron ore; the latter is very abundant and of excellent quality at Woodstock where smelting is carried on. Red Sand Stones.— The tract covered by these rocks is very limited,— principally confined to the counties of Westmorland, Albert, Kings and Carleton along with a narrow belt beginning at the bay of Cha- leurs and doubling round the westerly and southerlyfex- tremity of the coal field, betweeu this field and the southerly belt or ridge of the Cambrian system. Minerals.— Gypsum and coal. The Grange Region is principally confined to a band beginning at Bathurst harbor, running south- westerly to the boundary of Maine. It lies between the two belts of the Cambrian system. This regioa consists of gneiss and mica stone. Trap.— The country over which this division runs is not very extensive in any one place; yet there are- beds of it interspersed throughout the other formations, except the grey sandstone, or coal formation. The- trap rock of this province is principally confined to the counties of Ivinas, Saint John and Albert. The principal minerals of commerce as vet dis- covered in the province, are coal, iron ore, limestone hydraulic limestone, marble, graphite or plumbago' 258 POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT — N. B [1864. B. N. A. roofing slate, copper, carbonate of lime, manganese ores, galena, or lead ore, grindstones, freestone, amethyst, agate, jasper, gypsum, potters' clay and salt springs. The Albertite of Albert County is the most valuable deposit of bituminous matter on this continent. It produces 100 gallons of crude oil per ton. The annual value of the exports from this mine amounts to about $300,000 ; affording upwards of 100 per cent, profit to the stockholders. The products of the mines of New Brunswick wero as follows: 1851. 1861. Coal tons 2,842 18,244 Gypsum “ 5,465 14,000 Zinc casks 35,599 42,965 Other minerals tons 408 The produce of the mines exported in 1860 was valued at $323,135; in 1862 it was $220,183. ACCLIMATISATION. This subject is now engaging the attention of natur- alists in different parts of the world. The Acclimatisation Society of England has recently applied, through His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, to the governors of the British North American colonies for answers to a series of inquiries relating to this subject. The lloyal Gazette of New Brunswick, of a recent date, says “Any gentleman able or desirous to furnish replies to any of the annexed questions, is requested to communicate with Captain H. Moody, Government House. The main purposes of Acclimatisation are to intro- duce, acclimatise, and propagate, in the United King- dom and in its dependencies, such animals, birds, fishes, insects, and vegetables, as are likely to be of use or ornament, whether for domestication or for varying the common food of the people, or lor manufacturing, or for any other useful purpose, and whose constitution and habits offer a reasonable prospect of successful cultivation. Questims.— 1. Is there any quadruped, indigenous or introduced to the country in which you reside, which (having regard to the above definition of the objects in view, ) merits attention with a view to acclimatisation in Great Britain or any of its Dependencies? If there be any such, state whether it is attainable* at a reason- able rate ; and whether it is likely to bear the risk of transport. 2. Is there any such bird? 3. Is there any such fish? 4. Is there any such insect? 5. Is there any such timber tree? 6. Is there any such medicinal plant? 7. Is there any fibrous plant, likely to be useful for manufacturing purposes ? 8. Is there any vegetable suitable for the food of man or for forage, or for any other useful purpose? 9. Is there any quadruped, bird, fish, insect, tree, or plant, existing elsewhere, the introduction of which to the country in which you reside would be likely to be beneficial? One of the objects of the Acclimatisation Society being to recipro- cate the benefits which it receives from other countries. 10. Does any organization exist, or could it be easily called into existence, capable of undertaking the task of introduction? Any remarks founded upon special knowledge or local information, capable of being made useful to the progress of Acclimatisation, will be desir- able." POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT— NEW BRUNSWICK. The mail conveyances through New Brunswick Tange from weekly, bi-weekly, tri-weekly, to daily < Sundays excepted). Almost every village has its post office. The mails are conveyed six times per week between the cities of St. John and Fredericton, 65 miles; be- tween the latter city and Woodstock, 62 miles ; between St. John and Halifax, via Sackville and Amherst, 257 miles; between St. John and the States, 75 miles; be- tween St. John and Shediac, by railway. 107 miles; and Uetwoen St. John and Newcastle, Miramichi, 114 miles. There are several other shorter lines on which mails are conveyed six times a week. Mails are conveyed three times per week from Wood- stock to Grand Falls, 73 miles, and from there to Ca- nadian line; and from Newcastle to Campbellton, where it connects with the Canadian boundary, 191 miles; also on several other roads. On the principal part of the other roads mails travel twice per week. The efficiency of this department may be estimated from the following comparative statistics : 1852. 1861. 1862. No. of offices 135 364 379 Total No. of miles travelled. 2,160 2,824 2,807 No. miles per annum 474,471 817,612 712,286 Revenue $39,393 $46,971 $46,582 Expenditure 58,416 71,501 69,854 No. letters posted 1,109,202 1,134,224 No. newspapers 4,262,961 3,634,618 The foregoing statistics show an increase of 244 way offices, and 647 miles of additional mail route, within the last decade.

New Brunswick is connected with Canada by two mail routes. One by the straits of Northumberland and Bay of Chaleurs; the other by the River St. John. By the former it is 440 miles from the Nova Scotia boundary, near Amherst, to Riviere du Loup in Ca- nada; by the latter it is 400 miles from the city of St. John to Riviere du Loup. During the summer a weekly steamer plies between Miediac and Quebec, calling at Richfbucto, Miramichi, and other inter- mediate ports. A railway train runs daily from Shediac to St. John; and also a daily coach by land between these two places. During summer the steamer from Quebec to Shediac runs to Charlottetown, Prince E. Island, and to Pictou, Nova Scotia. In the winter season mails and passengers are conveyed from Cape Tormentine, in N. Brunswick, to Prince Ed. Island, nine miles, in ice boats, three times a week. The postal conveyances on the leading roads in the Province of New Brunswick are stated in the article on the Post Office Department. TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. The principal towns and settlements of this Province are connected by telegraph. The city of St. John is connected with Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, and the towns and villages on the easterly side of New Brunswick, as far north as Mira- michi; and westerly with Fredericton, Woodstock, St. Andrew's, St. Stephens, and the towns in the States. In all, 500 miles of line within the Province. The lines are under the control of several Companies. The American Telegraph Company controls the lines from Newfoundland to New Orleans Head office, 145 Broadway, New' York. E. S. Sanford, president; C. Livingston, secretary. RAILWAYS. There are two lines of railway in New Brunswick; one from the city of St. John to Shediac; the other from St. Andrew's to Woodstock. The line from St. John to Shediac is 108 miles in length, and has cost, including equipment, $4,569,417, equal to $42,309, or f 8,814 sterling per mile. The revenue in 1862, derived from passengers, freight, mails and sundries, amounted to $107,640; and the expenditure during the same time was $87,634, leaving a net revenue of $20,005. Number of passengers conveyed was 132,094 ; and the number conveyed one mile was 2,753,001. Tons of freight carried, 32.788. Tons carried one mile 1,337,873. The principal officers are Robert Jardine, chief com- missioner, and J. Edward Boyd, resident engineer. In the summer season two trains pass daily each way between St. John and Shediac. From Moncton, 93 miles from St. John, travellers are conveyed daily, by four-horse coaches, 100 miles to Truro, and thence, 64 miles by raiwlay to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The European and North American Railway was constructed, and is owmed by the Province, and pre- sents great facilities for travelling to residents and emigrants, and to all others w'hose business may call them to the Northern portions of the Province, to Canada, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. It is at present under the management of a Board of Commissioners, consisting of Robert Jardine, chair- man, George Thomas ana R. C. Scovill ; J. E. Boyd, C.E., resident engineer; L. Carvill, general superin- tendent; S. Parker Tuck, C.E,, assistant engineer.

E. ISLAND. [1864. B. N. A. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. This small but flourishing colony received its present name in 1798, in honor of Edward, Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. Its ancient name was Isle de St. Jean, or St John's Island. It was discovered by Se- bastian Cabot in 1499, but very little attention was paid to it till after the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. At this time Cape Breton and St. John’s Isle were the only American possessions left to France, exclusive of Canada; and in 1719 a company was formed for the purpose of clearing the interior and establishing fish eries on the coast. But in consequence of misunder- standings between the partners, the project fell to the ground. In 1749 a number of Acadians settled in the island. The British obtained possession of it at the time of the capture of Louisburg in 1758, and the acquisition was confirmed to them by the treaty of 1763, and united to Nova Scotia. When the island became subject to Britain the population numbered only 4,100. In 1764, the British Government ordered a survey of the island, and this left no doubt as to the superior fitness of the land for agricultural purposes. The island was then divided into 67 townships or lots. These townships, or parts of them, with certain reserva- tions, were to be granted to parties having claims upon the government, upon certain conditions of settle- ment, and the payment of quit rents. Lot 66, about 6,000 acres, was reserved for the Crown. Upwards of 100 persons participated in these grants. A town lot and royalty were reserved in each county ; while each township was to furnish a glebe lot of 100 acres for a clergyman, and a lot of 30 acres for a school-master. The grantees were to settle on each lot a settler for every 200 acres, within 10 years from the date of the grant. In 1770, the island was divided from the pro- vince of Nova Scotia, and a separate government established. The first Governor was Walter Patter- son. In 1798, when the island received its present name, the population did not exceed 5,000. In 1833, the population numbered 32,292, and the number of acres occupied and improved amounted to 94,931. At the beginning of the present century the arrears of quit rent amounted to £59,162 stg. A liberal arrange- ment which tended to increase the prosperity of the island, was made by the government for the payment of these arrears. Since that time the Colony has made rapid progress in wealth and population. GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. In form, the island resembles a crescent, the con- cave side being towards the Gulf. Length, 130 miles, breadth about 34 miles, area 2,131 square miles, orl, 365,400 acres. The surface is slightly undulating, the chain of hills that extends across the country nowhere rising to a considerable height. The indentations along the coast are numerous. The principal harbors are Charlottetown, Georgetown, Bedeque, Cascumpec, Porthill, New London, and Murray harbors. There are also numerous ponds or lagoons. The climate is mild and healthful, and the soil remarkably fertile. The whole island was formerly covered with a magnifi- cent growth of forest trees; birch, beech, maple, elm, ash, pine, spruce, hemlock, fir, juniper, cedar, willow, and poplar were the chief varieties. Ship-building is still carried on to a considerable extent. PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT— P. E. ISLAND. SEAT OP GOVERNMENT— CHARLOTTETOWN.

FINANCES— PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. In 1862, the revenue of the colony was .£38,792 stg. In 1859, the revenue amounted to £41,106 3s. lid., P.E.I. currency. The expenditure in 1859, was £44,707 13s. ljd. In i860, the revenue was £43,113 13s. 6d., and the expenditure £61,794 12s. 9d. The excess of the expenditure over revenue, was occasioned by the purchase of the large estates of the Earl of Selkirk. The public debt of the island, on the 31st January, 1861, was $155,324. To meet this debt, there are 4,190 acres of Crown lands, and 73821 acres of public lands as well as $66,278 due in instalments for sales of public lands, bearing interest at 5 per cent.

AGRICULTURE— PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. The soil of Prince Edward Island is noted for its fer- tility, and agriculture has been prosecuted with great success. The peat bogs afford excellent material for manure, and the arms of the sea, creeks, and inlets, which almost everywhere indent the land, have depo- sited vast stores of sea manure. Even the swamps, when drained and lined, make good hay land. When in possession of the French, large quantities of grain were .taken from the island to the fortresses at Louis- burg and Quebec. Some farmers annually exported 1,200 bushels of grain. Wheat, oats, barley, and rye, of excellent quality, are raised. Potatoes, beans, peas, and other vegetables, grow to great perfection. The following statistics shew the progress made in the de- partment of agriculture. In 1825, there were raised on the island 766 bushels of wheat, 10,717 bushels oats, and 47,220 bushels potatoes. In 1841, 160,028 bushels wheat, 611,824 bushels oats, 2,250,114 bushels potatoes, and 83,299 bushels barley. Number of horses, 9,861: neat cattle, 41,915; sheep, 73,650; hogs, 35,521. In 1860, according to the census of 1861, the number of bushels wheat raised was 346,125; barley, 223,196; oats, 2,218,578; buckwheat, 50,127; potatoes, 2,972,235 ; turnips, 348,784; hay, 31,100 tons. Number of horses, 18,765; neat cattle, 60,015; sheep, 107,242; hogs, 71,535. In 1841, there were 141,560 acres of land under culti- vation. In 1848, 215,389. 270 PATENTS — EDUCATION — P. E.

In 1855, 54 persons. In 1857, 46 persons. In 1858, 400 persons. In 1862, 27 persons. During the last decade, the total number of emigrants was 718. Emigration from the mother country was formerly discouraged lest England should be depopulated, and it was required that settlers should be Protestants from parts of Europe not belonging to Great Britain, or persons that had resided in America for two years prior to the date of the grant. But these conditions being subsequently cancelled, a serious drawback to the pros- perity of the Island was removed. In 1803, the Earl of Selkirk settled upon his lands about 800 Highlanders, who soon became prosperous farmers. In subsequent years, emigrants from England, Ireland and Scotland continued to arrive, so that in the year 1832 the popu- lation had increased to 32,292. The following statement shows the population at the dates specified : 1752. . .. 1,354 1841.. ..47,034 1758.. .. 4,100 1851.. ..55,000 1822.. ..24,600 1 1861. . ..80,552 1832.. ..32,292 The largest part of the emigrants have been Scotch, next Irish, and thirdly English, and British Colonists. EDUCATION— P. E. ISLAND. The first public step towards the promotion of na- tional education was the opening of the National School in Charlottetown about 1821. A board of edu- cation, consisting of 5 members, was appointed in 1830. The central academy at Charlottetown was opened in January, 1836. In 1837, Mr. John McNeill was appointed visitor of schools for the whole Island. The number of schools at this period was 37; scholars 1,649. In 1847, the schools numbered 120, and the pupils 6,000. In 1851, schools 135, scholars 5,360. In 1856, schools 260, scholars 11,000. Towards the close of 1856, a normal school for the training of teachers was opened. In 1850, a law was passed, after considerable agitation, that the Bible should be read in all the public schools. The census of 1861 gives 302 public school houses, and 280 public teachers.

The island of Newfoundland was discovered in 1497, by Sir John Cabot and his son Sebastian, under the patronage of Henry VII. of England. Three years after Cabot’s voyage, the coast of Newfoundland was visited by a Portuguese explorer named Cortereal. But before this time, Bretons and Normans had already fished for cod on the Great Bank of Newfoundland. One French author has affirmed that the banks of New- foundland were discovered by French navigators a century before Columbus reached the New World. At the time Cabot visited the place, the native Newfound- landers called a fish found there, bacalleos, which is the name of the cod in the Basque idiom. The Portuguese established regular fisheries on the shores in the begin- ning of the 16th century ; and from the year 1517, the whale and cod fisheries became prosperous branches of the industry of France. Cartier reached the coast of Newfoundland in the spring of 1534, on his road to Canada. During the next half century, the Normans, the Basques, and the Bretons continued to fish for the cod, and capture the whales which frequented the embouchure of the St. Lawrence and neighboring waters. In 1578, the French vessels that repaired to Newfoundland num- bered 150, and England and Portugal had each 50 ships engaged in the fishery. During the reign of Elizabeth, Sir Humphrey Gilbert is said to have equipped a small squadron with which he sailed from England in 1579; but the loss of one of his vessels and other disasters obliged him to return home. Gilbert, and his step-brother, Raleigh, subsequently fitted out new vessels with which they returned to New- foundland in 1583. But after entering the harbor of St. John’s, taking possession of the country in the Queen’s name, and establishing la-ws regulating the fisheries, they set sail for England without having effected anything towards the exploration of the interior. Dur- ing the return voyage, Sir Humphey Gilbert’s vessel foundered, and he perished in the wreck. Among the subsequent attempts to colonize the island may be men- tioned that of a Bristol merchant named Guy, who, in 1610, founded a colony at Musquito Cove in Conception Bay, which lasted tw'o years. In 1615, Capt. Whitbourne, of Devon, was sent out by the Admiralty to put down the great abuses which at this time existed at the fisheries. He endeav- ored to establish order, and introduced some of the forms of English law. Seven or eight years after, a settlement was formed by Lord Baltimore, who built a house at Ferryland, on the southeast, and a strong fort at Isle-aux-Bois. In 1626, 150 vessels were sent out to the cod fisheries from Devonshire alone. In 1633 another settlement was formed by Lord Falkland. A code of regulations was the same year established by Charles I., and in 1635 the French received permission to cure and dry fish in Newfoundland, on condition that they should pay 5 per cent, of the produce for the privilege. Another settlement was founded in 1654 by Sir David Kertk. The French had hitherto restricted their attention to the fisheries; but in 1660 they founded a colony in Plaisance, then the chief French factory in Newfound- land. This place was within a few years captured and plundered by buccaneers. In 1692 it was attacked and partially destroyed by an English squadron of five ships of war, under Admiral Williams. The French now formed thfe design to make themselves masters of the island, and thus deprive the British of their highly valuable Newfoundland trade. During the next 20 years the ports were frequently the scene of contention between the rival nations. St. John being forced to capitulate, the fortifications were demolished. At length, by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, it was pro- vided that Newfoundland', as well as Acadia and the Hudson Bay territory, should be ceded to Britain, the right to dry fish on a part of the sea-board being reserved to the French fishermen. In 1762, St. John’s again fell into the hands of the French, but the English under Lord Colville soon after expelled them, and by the treaty of Paris in the follow- ing year, the French merely retained the right to fish in the gulf of the St. Lawrence, three leagues from its shores; the rocky islets St. Pierre and Miquelon being also assigned to them on condition that they should not be used for military purposes. From 1759 to 1767 Capt. Cook was employed by the English government in making surveys of the coast, upon which the present maps are founded. At the beginning of the American revolution, Newfoundland suffered greatly from the non-intercourse act passed by the first congress. The inhabitants had been de- pendent on New England for supplies to the extent of nearly £350,000 annually. These were suddenly cutoff, American privateers at the same time preying on the coast and harbors. When peace was restored in 1783, the Americans retained the right of fishing, but the processes of curing and drying the fish had to be carried on in the unsettled creeks and harbors of Nova Scotia, Magdalen islands, and Labrador. The present form of government, similar to that of the other B. N. A. Provinces, was established in 1855. The governor acts with the assistance and advice of the executive council. There is a legislative council, the members of which are appointed by the crown, and a general assembly elected by the people. In 1786, the population was only 10,244. In 1854, a charter was granted by the colonial government to the “ New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Com- pany,” for the purpose of establishing a telegraphic communication betweenEurope andAmerica. The land wires were subsequently completed between St. John’s and the cable terminus at Cape Ray, and the “Atlantic Telegraph Company ” was established! n 1856 to ex- tend the existing line to Ireland. This great enter- prise was unfortunately unsuccessful ; but we are happy to observe that the attempt is to be renewed in the summer of 1864, with every prospect of success. GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. The Island of Newfoundland is situated on the north- east side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence between 46° 37' and 51° 40' N. latitude, and 52° 41' and 59° 31' W. longi- tude. It is triangular in form, but exceedingly irregu- Almanac. 1864.] PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT — NEWFOUNDLAND 279 lar owing to its being indented with deep bays, the principal of which are Trinity and White Bays on the eastern, and Placentia and Fortune Bays on the south- ern coast. The peninsula of Avalon, on which the greater part of the population is located, is nearly separated from the rest of the island by the bays of Trinity and Placentia, there being only an isthmus about 4 miles in width between the heads of those bays. The greatest length of the island from north to south is 350 miles, and the average breadth about 130 miles ; estimated area, about 40,200 square miles, equal to 25,728,000 acres, of which about 60,000 acres are under cultivation, and about 170,000 are in pos- session, but uncultivated. Population in 1857, 119,304. Colonization was for many years discouraged, but in 1832, legislative aid was granted to it. The govern- ment includes the island and dependencies, and the coast of Labrador, extending nearly 700 miles from Anse Sablon to the entrance of Hudson’s Straits. The commercial prosperity of the colony has steadily increased during the present century. The principal export is codfish, the chief markets for which are Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and the West India islands. The exports in 1862 were valued at £1,171,723, and the imports at £1,007,082. The number of vessels entered was 1,345; tonnage 160,075; men 9,350. Number of vessels cleared 1,159 ; tonnage 147,237 ; men 8,613. PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT. The government of the island wfts in the hands of Governors appointed from England, and residing only during the fishing season, down to 1817. In 1825 Capt. Sir Thomas Cochrane, who may be considered the first civil Governor, was appointed, and an executive council was appointed to advise him in the govern- ment. His term of government extended to 8 years, and prior to its close, in 1832, a constitution, with a local legislature, was granted to the colony, the first session being opened on the 1st January 1833. The House of Assembly consisted of 15, and the Council, which was executive and legislative, of 6 members, being, with one exception, officials. During the term of the first House of Assembly legislation ^proceeded with tolerable harmony ; but the second House came to a dead lock with the Council and Governor, and in 1842 an act was passed by the Imperial Parliament to amend the legislative constitution of Newfoundland, by providing for the appointment of 10 legislative councillors, to sit in the House of Assembly, the Exe- cutive Council ceasing to constitute a second legisla- tive chamber. This system was continued until 1847. The legislature of two houses was restored in 1848, and after considerable agitation on the part of the Assem- bly, and resistance on the part of the Council, respon- sible government was conceded in 1855, certain condi- tions stipulated for by the Duke of Newcastle having been previously complied with; the principal of these being the passing of an act increasing the number of representatives to 30, with a subdivision of the larger districts, and providing retiring allowances for the officials to be displaced.

There were also exported 2,637 tons cod oil, valued at £98,710; 354 tons cod liver oil (refined), value £21,271; 3,406 tons seal oil, value £136,263, and 268,642 seal skins, value £40,294; the seal fishery in the spring of 1862 being reckoned half an average fishery. There were also a few tons of whale and dog oil exported. The imports of flour, bread (biscuit), and other arti- cles, the produce of agriculture (including live stock}, were: horses, 75; oxen and cows, 2,014; sheep, 4,359; swine, 131; bacon and hams, 1,1893 cwt. ; beef, (salted) 2,321 brls. ; bread, 51,053 cwt.; butter, 15,264/, cwt.; cheese, 464] cwt.; oats, 45,273 bushels; wheat, 16,000 bushels; barley, 3,034 bushels; oatmeal, 2,503 brls; pease, 2,842 barrels ; Indian corn, 16,037 bushels ; bran, 2,700 bushels; corn meal, 10,132 brls.; flour, 226,334 brls. ; dried fi;uit, 181,203 lbs. : apples and plums, 4,121 brls.; lard, 206 cwt.; fresh meat and poultry, chiefly from Nova Scotia, to the value of £6,647; pork, 34,007 brls.; potatoes 90,571 bushels; other vegetables, 21,- 143 bushels. FINANCES-NEWFOTJNDLAND. The revenue in 1862 was £116,929 17s. Id. ; expendi- ture £138,058 17s. 6d. The excess of expenditure over revenue was caused by a very large outlay for the relief of the poor, necessitated by the failure of the Labrador fishery, and an indifferent shore fishery. In 1861, the revenue was £90,043 10s. 7d. ** “ expenditure 126,753 5s. 9d. COLONIZATION AND AGRICULTURE— NEWFOUNDLAND. There is at present little cultivation in Newfoundland beyond a mile or two from the sea coast. Most of the produce consumed by the inhabitants is imported from the neighboring colonies. In 1798, the Governor severely reprimanded the sheriff* for having, during his absence the preceding winter, allowed a Mrs. Gill to put up a fence, Thomas Nevan to put up a few sheds, which were ordered to be removed ; and the sheriff being also directed : “ You will take good care that Jeremiah Marroty and John Fitzgerald do not erect chimneys to their sheds, or even light fires in them of any kind/’ During the government of Sir V G. Gower (1804-7), however, the pressure for permission to occupy ground in St. John's for building purposes, and for gardens, appears to have been such, that the. Governor received permission to lay out a street parallel with the harbor, 200 yards from high water mark, the ground on the upper side of which might be sold for building purposes, the water side being still reserved for fish-takes, stages, and cook rooms; and it was not until 1811, that an act of the Imperial Parliament was passed, authorizing that sev- eral ship rooms therein named, “be granted, let, and possessed as private property;" portions of the harbor at the east and west ends being still reserved “ for the drying, curing, and husbanding of fish/" The prohibition of settlement outside the harbours in which the fishing rooms were situated, was not, however, so strictly enforced. In orders issued by the Government in 1776, respecting “ disputes lately arisen about property in land," it is ordered : “that all lands that are not actually fenced in shall remain open, pub- lic and common, to all persons without distinction, to cut wood for the use of the fishery, fuel, &c., to turn cattle upon, and cut grass; that if any of the places now actually inclosed, and herein permitted to remain so, are ever hereafter left unfenced, during one year, such places shall revert to the public common : that if any person hereafter shall presume to fence in or inclose any lands (other than so at this day), con- trary to this order, all persons are at liberty to take down such fences or enclosures." Notwithstanding the prohibition of settlement, however, parties conti- nued to squat on the land along the coast, but it was not until 1817 that the Governor received instructions empowering him “ in consideration of the representa- | tions which had been made from time to time, as to the distressed state of the population ofNewfoundland, and of the fact, that notwithstanding the ungenial cli- mate, the country might nevertheless be adapted to raise many articles of subsistence, especially potatoes, to take measures to ascertain those parts of the Island in which cultivation was most likely to bo attended with success, and then to proceed to make grants to any individuals willing to engage in the cultivation of them, taking care always that the grants made be not beyond the means of the individual to cultivate, and that a small quit-rent per acre be reserved lor the use of His Majesty." It was not until after the establish- ment of a local Legislature that an act was passed for the regulation and disposal of the crown lands of the Colony. Much of the land along the coast is not adapt- ed for cultivation. The produce consists chiefly of hay, potatoes, turnips, and other green crops, there being but little grain raised. Oats, barley, and even wheat, have, however, been raised to advantage, and some hundreds of bushels are annually produced. Oats are sown in the neighborhood of St. .John’s to some extent, but the greater part of the crop is cut green lot the winter feed of cattle. About 20 years ago an agricultural society was formed in St. John’s, under the auspices of Governor Sir John Harvey, and last year another society was established at Harbor Grace. The St.John’s society has done much for the improve- ment of the breed of cattle by importing superior ani- mals, and has also promoted cultivation of the soil by importing seeds, and granting premiums, which are competed for at the annual agricultural exhibitions. Both societies, as well as the local legislature, are now exerting themselves to the utmost to induce greater attention to agriculture; and the government, author- ized by a recent act of the legislature, have offered free grants of land to actual settlers, with assistance to erect dwellings, and have given the first year’s seed. Two years ago a floral and horticultural society was formed at St. John’s, from which much benefit is anti- cipated. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Patron— His Excellency tl*o Governor; president— Dr. J.

Common schools, under the superintendence of Boards of education, are established in the different settlements of the island, from funds provided by the g overnment. In St.John’s, Harbor Grace, and Car- onear, classical academie are in operation, under J masters of high classical and mathematical attain- ments. Commercial schools are also established in most of the larger settlements. All these institutions are endowed from the public revenue. 282 INSTITUTIONS — NEWFOUNDLAND [1864. B. N.

It was not until 1784, that the first Roman Catholic priest, consecrated bishop in 1796, was allowed to reside m the island, although about half the population ap- pear to have been Roman Catholics from an early pe- riod. It was in 1847 that Newfoundland was erected into a diocese of the Roman Catholic church, which in 1856 was divided into the dioceses of St. John’s and Harbor Grace. There were a few clergymen of the church of Eng- land in the Island from an early period, but too few to minister to the spiritual wants of its scattered popula- tion. In 1805, on the creation of the bishopric of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland was included within the diocese, and was cared for by Dr. Inglis, the bishop ; but in 1839, on the establishment of the see of Newfoundland, Dr. Spencer, the first bishop, found only 8 clergymen of the church of England in the island. In 1786, three Wesleyan missionaries were sent to the island, who la- bored with considerable success, and whose numbers have been gradually augmented. The Congregation- alisms date from 1775, when a Mr. Jones, a soldier in the garrison at St. John’s, organized a church, over which he was ordained in England, on obtaining his discharge in 1779, and obtained permission from the Governor to conduct service in 1782. In 1843, a Presbyterian church was established, in connection with the church of Scot- land; and in 1849, a Free church. In 1855, a second Presbyterian Free church, in connection with the Presbyterian church of the Lower Provinces, was es- tablished at Harbor Grace. UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRE- LAND.

Prender- gast) in 1856 and 1857, but it is not sufficiently correct or full to form a part of the foregoing returns. a The number of permanent residents, as given by that gentleman, from L’Anse Sablon to Sandwich Bay, both inclu- sive including Belle Isle, is 1650, of whom 1331 are Protestants, and 319 Catholics. NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS. The first newspaper, the Royal Gazette , /was com- menced in 1806, on the representation of the magis- trates, merchants, and principal inhabitants, that such a publication would be useful, and the offer of John Ryan to conduct it. Permission was granted by the Gover- nor to establish a printing office, and to issue a weekly newspaper, “ provided he shall give bond in the Court of Sessions for .£200 stg., with good securities, that pre- vious to the printing of each number of the said paper, he shall submit the perusal of the proposed contents thereof to the magistrates in the Court of Sessions, and not insert in the said paper any matter, which, in their opinion, or in the opinion of the Governor tor the time being, may tend to disturb the peace of His Majesty’s subjects.” ST .

There are several parties working mines of copper and lead in the island. Enterprise is now strongly manifested in this direction ; but no thorough survey of the Colony has yet been made, and until this is done it is impossible to form an opinion of its mineralogies! resources. A geological and mineralogical survey will probably be commenced in the summer of 1864. TELEGRAPH COMPANIES- The New York, Newfoundland and London Tele- graph company has its terminus at St. John’s, and there are several branch lines in connection with it m the island. STEAMBOAT LINES- A mail steamer, under contract with the British gov- ernment, runs fortnightly for 8 months, and monthly the other 4, viz : January, February, March and April, between St. John’s and Halifax, to meet the Cunaru line at Halifax. The steamers of the North Atlantic Royal Mail Steamship Co. also call off the harbor of bt. John’s, for mails and passengers. A mail coastal Bteamer, subsidized by the Colony, plies along the coast, and a second in Conception Bay. Almanac. 1864.] CURRENCY — NEWFOUNDLAND 289 CURRENCY, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. The coins current in the Colony are British money, and American half and quarter dollars, with a small quantity of American gold coin; also, Spanish silver pieces, of Is. 3d. and Is. in value. An act was passed during the last session of the legislature for regulating the currency. The weights and measures are accord- ing to the standard of England, as prescribed by the Colonial act, 4th Wm. IV., cap. 7. PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. No distinction is made between the members of the medical profession. The following are those now prac- tising : St. John's.— Drs. Rochefort, McKen, Stabb, Crowdy, Simm, Renouf, Frazer, Bunting, and Shea. Harbor Grace.— Drs. Dow and Allan ; Dr. Birni, Carbonear. PATENTS. Patents are granted for useful inventions, under a Colonial Act, 19th Vic., cap. 19. The fees on a patent are £7 stg. ST. JOHN’S-NEWFOUNDLAND. St. John’s, the capital of the island, is the only town of anv considerable size. It is not incorporated The population in 1867 was 24,861. Harbor Grace and Car- bonear are the two next in size, and contained in 1867, 6,096, and 4,808 inhabitants, respectively. There are several fire companies in St. John’s, and one in Har- bor Grace. The bells are rung, and two guns fired from Signal Hill when a fire is perceived to have brok- en out. Since the introduction of water into St John’s on a large scale, and the establishment of a more effi- cient system of fire companies, fires of large extent have not occurred. St. John’s has several times been partially destroyed by fire. The last, occasion was in 1844, when the loss exceeded £ 1,000, 000 cy. The busi- ness part of the town is now built of brick and stone, and an abundant supply of water has been provided, at a cost of £90,000. The supply is obtained from a lake 400 feet above the town, giving such a pressure as to extinguish a fire in a few minutes. Harbor Grace has also been supplied with water from a source over 200 feet above the town, at a cost of £16,000.

He was educated at the Upper Canada College, Toronto, where he gained high honors, taking a first exhibition while under 13, and also the Wellington scholarship. He graduated at the Toronto University, and the degree of M.A. was subsequently conferred upon him at a con- vocation of Bishops’ College, Lennox ville, C- E. It was intended that he should follow the legal profession, but his own tastes induced him to prefer civil engin- eering. He was actively employed during the con- struction of part of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad, and was afterwards one of the division engi- neers. When this line had been transferred to the Grand Trunk, he continued in connection with the latter company, and finally became superintendent of the eastern district, between Montreal, Quebec and Ri- viere-du-Loup. In 1856, he married a daughter ot Mr. Justice Sicotte. The surviving issue is a daughter and two sons. He died after a short illness, on 1 riday, 18th September 1863, at his residence, Point Levi. His remains were conveyed to Montreal, accompanied by a large number of Iriends, on Monday the 21st Sep- tember and interred in the Mount Royal cemetery. The funeral service was performed in the Anglican Cathedral, by his Lordship the Bishop and Metro- politan, assisted by Rev. canon White and Rev. canon Bond. Mr. Freer has been described as a man active and energetic, ujiright and honest, high principled and courteous to ail, a warm friend, charitable without os- tentation, an exemplary son, and a kind and affec- tionate husband. Cathedral by the officiating clergyman, and during the passage of the procession up the aisle, the organ breathed forth the solemn strains of the Dead March in “ Saul.” After the usual service for the dead, the procession proceeded to fcherbrooke street, and thence to the Mount Royal Cemetery. The Hon. Robt. Harwood was much respected. Indulgent to his tenantry, of unspotted reputation, courteous and con- siderate to all with whom he had relations. Isaacson, R. P., familiarly known in Montreal as “Dolly,” and proprietor of “Dolly’s Chop House,” was a native of Suffolk, England, where he resided for the first twenty-nine years of his life, doing a consi- derable business as a farmer and auctioneer. The agricultural depression of 1830 and following years induced him to emigrate to Canada in 1834. He settled in Montreal, where he was for some time engaged at Rasco’s Hotel. He subsequently set up a business in St. Francois Xavier Street, whence he removed, about 1848, to his well-known establishment in Great St. James Street. He died about eleven o’clock, Saturday morning, 18th April 1863, at the age of 73 years and 4 months, rather from a gradual decay than from any special disorder. Well-informed, kind-hearted and charitable, Mr. Isaacson enjoyed a large share of popularity. Jtcbb, Sir Joshua, died suddenly on the 26th June, 1863. He was born in 1793. He served in the Royal Engineers in Canada and the West Indies, and was appointed Major in 1860. Of late years he was distin- guished by his labors and writings in his capacity of chairman of the directors of convict prisons. Gourlay, Robert, came out to Canada in the month of July 1817- In 1822, he published a work called a “ General Introduction to Statistical Account “ of Upper Canada with a view to a Grand System of “Emigration.” Having incurred the displeasure of the government by his political principles, he was ordered to quit the province within six mouths as a seditious person. This order he refused to obey, where- upon he was arrested and lodged in Niagara jail. While awaiting his trial, he continued Ins vehement opposition to tne executive. Being at length found guilty of refusing to obey the order, he was compelled to retire to the United States, whence he soon after proceeded to Englaud. He died at Edinburgh, on the 1st August 1863, in the eighty-fifth year of Ins age. The Toronto Globe, in announcing his decoase, said : “ This is the last of an able and honest man, who once “ played a prominent part iu Canada in defence of the tt right of free speech and printing, in opposition to a “ tyrannical faction.” Harwood, the Hon. Robert Unwin, M.L.C., was born at Sheffield, England, on the 22d Jan. 1798. He came to Canada in 1821. On the 15th Dec. 1^3, he married the eldest daughter of the late Hon. M.

His remains were conveyed from the Manor House, Vau- dreuil to the residence of his son-in-law, De Bclle- feuille McDonald, Esq., at Montreal, on Wednesday the 15th April 1863. From an early hour in the fore- noon the tenants of the Seigniory, and neighbors from surrounding villages, began to assemble at the Manor House, and at the hour specified for the procession to form, there could hardly have been less than a thou- sand persons present. The procession, headed by the pall bearers, left the Manor about 5 p. m. and struck across the Ottawa to the railway station. Hie scene presented was extraordinary. When the sleighs had all defiled in order on the ice, and the procession had fullv uncoiled its serpentine length, it could scarcely have been less than a mile long.

He was a man of cipnsi- derable information, calm judgment, and strict inte- grity. His kind and unassuming manners, and con- sistent deportment, caused him to be widely esteemed, and his loss to be generally lamented. Kearnes, John, Lieut. Col. Served in Ireland during the rebellion of 1798. After active service in various quarters, he joined the Duke of Wellingtons army in June, 1811, and w T as present at the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, and Badajos. He received the silver war medal with five clasps. At the close of his military career, he emigrated to Canada in 1820, aud settled on a government grant of land. During the rebellion of 1837 his military experience was made available by the authorities, who selected him for the performance of various and responsible duties. About the same time, he was returned as member for the county of Prescott, and sat in the Canadian Parliament for two years. He also held the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel of the local sedentary militia. He died at North Plantagenet on the 27th March, 1863, at the ad- vanced age of 86, after a few days’ illness. In accord- ance with the old Peninsular officer’s ow r n wish, a vo- lunteer firing party fired three rounds of blank car- tridge over tne grave. During a residence of 40 years in Canada, Col. Kearnes deserved and enjoyed a large share of esteem. Kinnear, David, late senior proprietor and editor of the Montreal Herald, was born in Edinburgh about the year 1807. His father, a banker, was a lineal de- scendant of the celebrated colonel Gardiner. Mr. K. studied for the Scotch bar, and was admitted, but did not enter upon the practice of the profession. During his residence in Edinburgh lie enjoyed the society ofseveral men of celebrity, including Sir Walter Scott, Mr. James Hogg, and professor Wilson. He was sub- sequently engaged in commercial pursuits in London, where he became acquainted with the leading literary characters of that time.

Shortlyafter the termination of this service, he became editor of the Montreal Ga- zette, then owned by Armour and Ramsay, and finally, having entered into partnership with Robert Weir, proprietor of the Montreal Herald, he continued to fill the post of. editor to that journal till his death, on tho 20th Nov. 1862, after a painful illness of four months. The following tribute to his memory, which appeared in the llerala the day after his death, is not too highly colored: " His writings abundantly prove, that no difference of race, creea, colour, or social position, ever operated to create a prejudice in his mind against either classes or individuals. We do not believe that during the many years that he has been chief editor of this paper, one single allusion has been made by him calculated to insult or wound a human creature on account of those accidents which are so often turned into sources of bitterness and ill-will. If he has not, at all times, completely escaped those personal collisions to which persons who take part in political warfare are unfortunately exposed, lie nevertheless, considering the length of his career, had a remarkably small list of enemies. W e may add that a man of more independent feeling never lived. We are confident that no one ever pretended to have influenced his opinion by an unworthy motive, nor to have even sus- pected him, on any grounds which he could allege, of being capable of being so influenced. Of course, like other men, he had faults ; but those most noticeable were chiefly the exaggeration of firmness, in his ad- herence to convictions which had been formed with care; which were cherished because he believed they led to what was good as well as true; and which he had no thought of peddling away for his own interests or out of complaisance to others. Ilis opinions were expressed and held with manly openness. He committed no errors having their origin in meanness or duplicity." Knowlton, the Hon. Paul Howard, M.L.C., was born in 1787 ; he was at one time Mayor of Knowl- ton, C. E., and Warden of Brome. He was Colonel Commanding Militia District No. 10. From the time of his entrance into Parliament, about 35 years ago, he continued to serve till his death. He was appointed a member of tho Special Council by Sir John Col- bourne, and subsequently on the 9th .Tune 1841, a Legislative Councillor, at the time of the Union of the Provinces. He resided in the Eastern Townships, where ho took a lively interest in all questions affecting the 'public welfare. Several memorials in his own village attest his liberality. He died in 1863 at the advanced age of 76. Lindsay, William Burns, Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, died on the 15th May 1862. He was born at Quebec, in 1796. In 1808, he became a writer in the office of his father, who in that year was appointed Clerk of the House of Assemblv for Lower Canada. Soon after the establishment of the Bank of Montreal he was appointed a clerk, and eventually became teller. His father’s ill health having compelled him to resign in 1829, the son was appointed clerk of the House in his place, and resignerf his situation in the Bank. When the legislature of United Canada was in session at Kiugston, Mr. Lindsay was appointed by Lord Syd- enham clerk of the Legislative Assembly, an office which he retained till his death. He left a widow and ten children living. His eldest son succeeded to the clerkship of the Legislative Assembly. Mr. Lindsay bore the character of an efficient and impartial public officer. On the announcement of his death, eloquent tribute to his worth was paid by Hon. Mr. Cartier, then Premier, and other members. The House ad- journed to testify respect to his memory, and the funeral was attended by the members in a body. McNab, Sir Allan Napier, Bart., was born at Niagara in 1798. His grandfather, Major Robert Mc- Nab, of the 42nd regt., held the situation of Royal Forester in Scotland. His father, who was attached to the staff of Gen. Simcoe, during the revolutionary war, subsequently accompanied the Gen. to Canada. While Sir Allan was yet at school, the Americans having attacked Toronto, he was summoned to bear arms, and joined the army in its retreat to Kingston, after Toronto had been surrendered. After serving some time as a midshipman in the navy, he joined the 100th regt., and was present at the taking of Fort Ni- agara. Having received an ensigney in the 49th, he saw considerable service during the war. At the re- duction ot the army, about 1816, he was placed on half pay. After these youthful exploits, he entered upon the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in 1825. He practised with success for many years at Hamilton, and is said to have received the first ap- pointment as Queen’s Counsel made in Upper Canada. He entered Parliament, tor the first time, m 1829, and after serving in three parliaments became the repre- sentative of the City of Hamilton. During the insur- rection of 1837-8, he took an active partin suppressing disaffection, and was knighted for his services. He was at this time speaker of the Lower House, and after the union of the Canadas, was elected Speaker of the United Assembly. He became Premier in 1854, and, on his retirement in 1856, was created a baronet. After a long political career, during which he had repre- sented the City of Hamilton or County in nine succes- sive parliaments, Sir Allan, in 1857, was induced to retire in consequence of ill-health. In 1859, however, Sir Allan ran for the town of Brighton, at the general election in England, but was defeated by a small ma- jority by Admiral Pechell. Having returned to Cana- da in 1860, he entered the Legislative Council. He was twice married, first, in 1821, to a daughter of Lieut. D. Brooke, the issue being a son and daughter; se- condly, in 1831, to a daugnter of Sheriff Stuart. By this marriage there were two daughters, one of whom married Viscount Bury, eldest son of the Earl of Albe- marle; and the other, a son of Sir Dominick Daly. Sir Allan died on the 8th of August, 1862. An un- happy dispute arose as to the faith in which the baro- net died. On the 10th August, Rev. Mr. Geddes in- formed his congregation that he had been restrained in his attempts to offer spiritual consolation to deceas- ed, in consequence of his alleged conversion to the Ro- man Catholic faith. The funeral was conducted ac- cording to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, as directed by his executrix and sister-in-law, Mrs. Mc- Nab. Sir Allan McNab was one of the most distin- guished statesmen of Canada. Of his public life he thus wrote in his farewell address to the electors of the City of Hamilton: "The best portion of my life " lias been spent amongst you, and I can say with " truth, that duiing this long period my best energies " have been devoted to the interests of my consti- " tuents and the honour of my country. If in times of " trial and great excitement ! have erred, I trust you " will kindly ascribe it to an error of the head and not " of tho heart." Maitland, J. H., Captain. Mr. Maitland was an old and respected citizen of Montreal, in which city he for many years represented the Liverpool and London Fire Assurance Company. His death occurred on the 1st of June 1863, after a long and painful illness. Merritt, Hon. Wm. Hamilton, was born at West- chester, N.Y., on the 3rd July, 1793. His father, Thomas Merritt, a cornet in the " Queen’s Rangers," after serving during the American Revolutionary war, emigrated to New Brunswick, and afterwards to Ca- nada in 1796. The son was educated at Ancaster, C.W., and at Windsor College, N.S. He served in the militia during the war of 1812. In 1815 he married a daughter of Dr. Prendergast. In 1832 he was returned to the Parliament of Upper Canada for Haldimand. and in 1840 for Lincoln.

After the war began, he became brigadier-general of volunteers on the northern side, and was carried off by yellow fever on the 30th Octo- ber, 1862. 310 OBITUAKY NOTICES. [1864. B. N. A. Mountain, the Right Rev. G. J., D.D., D.C.L., Lord Bishop of Quebec, was born 27th July 1789, at Norwich, England. At an early age, he came to Canada with his father, the first Bishop of the English Church in Canada, but was sent back to be educated for the Church.

He again went to England on matters connected with the CJergy Reserves in 1835, and while there, on the 14th Feb. 1836, was consecrated Bishop of Montreal. His diocese at that time comprised the whole of Lower Canada, Bishop Stewart retaining only Upper Canada; and, shortly afterwards, he had for a time both Provinces under his charge, Bishop Stewart having retired. His diocese therefore stretched from Labrador to the Red River Settlement ; and he ‘had this extended charge till 1839, when the present Bishop of Toronto was appointed. His diocese continued to include the whole or Lower Canada till 1850, when the present Bishop of Montreal was appointed. He was noted for his acti- vity and enei^y.

He visited England in 1853, for the purpose of conferring with the Bishop of Australia on the subject of Synodical action in Colonial Churches, on which occasion he received the degree of D.C.L. at Oxford. After a life spent in works of benevolence, and unflagging atten- tion to the duties of his sacred office, he died at Quebec, on the 6th January 1863, at the age of 74. He was an able man, a ripe scholar, and an earnest Christian. As an instance of his zeal and activity, it is worthy of mention that he visited Labrador, in the discharge of his duties, at the advanced age of 72. He was the author of a volume of poems, and was also the founder of Bishop’s College, Lennoxville, and of the Church Society organizations. His name will deservedly live in the history of the English Church in Canada, which he did so much to strengthen and establish. Mulready, a distinguished painter, died at Linden Grove, Bayswater, England, on the 7th July 1863, of long continued disease of the heart.

He was educated at the High School, Montreal, and at McGill College, and received the degree of B. A. in 1858. He subsequently entered upon the study of the law, and, in 1861, took the first place in the graduating class of the law faculty, McGill College. He was called to the bar in August 1861. Distinguished by a steady and persevering attention to his studies, and a fondness for literary pursuits, Mr. Plimsoll ’8 youth gave fair promise of high attain- ments and usefulness to society. Unhappily, ho w'ever, he was attacked by congestion of the brain, and, after a few r days’ illness, expired on the 25th March 1863, in the 24th year of his age. Robinson, Sir John Beverley, Bart.; President, of the Court of Appeals, U. C., was born at Berthier, L. C., on the 26th July 1791. His father was fourth in descent from Christopher Robinson, of Cleasby, York- shire, England, who came out to America in tne reign of Charles the Second, as private secretary to Sir William Berkeley, Governor of Virginia, and became afterward secretary of that colony. His residence w’aa Rappahannock, in Virginia, where he died in 1696.. The second son of Christopher Robinson was John Robinson, Esq., President of the Council of Virginia. who was born in Virginia. He had several sons, from one of whom was descended Christopher Robinson, (the father of Sir John Beverley Robinson,) who was born in Middlesex County, Virginia, and was sent for his education to William and Mary College. During the American Revolution, Mr. Robinson obtained a commission as Ensign in Colonel Simcoe’s Regiment of Queen’s Rangers, in which corps he served until the peace of 1783, when lie emigrated w r ith many other loyalists to New Brunswick. While there he married Esther Saver, daughter of the Rev. John Sayer. About 1788, Mr. Robinson w r cnt with his family to- Lower Canada, and settled at L’Assomption, and afterwards removed to Berthier, where his second son,, the late Sir John Beverley Robinson, was born. In 1791, Mr. Robinson’s former commanding officer, Col. Simcoe, then a Major General, came out from England as the first Governor of Upper Canada. He induced Mr. Robinson to remove to that Province, and in 1792 he went to Kingston, where he lived for six years. He was called to the bar in Upper Canada, and was one of the first Benchers chosen by the Law r Society. He was elected a member of the House of Assembly for the counties of Lennox and Addington in 17%. He continued to practise the profession of the law’ in Kingston until October 1798, when lie removed with his family to Toronto. On the 2d of November of the- same year he died after a short illness, having suffered from the gout for many years. The father of the late Rev. Archdeacon Stuart, being then about to attend the meeting of Parliament, toox John Beverley with him to Kingston, and placed him under the tuition of Mr. Strachan, now Bishop of Toronto. He remained for some time in Kingston, and then removed with his preceptor to Cornwall. At the age of sixteen young Robinson commenced the study or the law under the Hon. D’Arcy Boulton, then Solicitor General and acting Attorney General . While still a student-at-law, he served one session in the House of Assembly as clerk. In 1810 Mr. Boulton sailed for England, but he had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by a French privateer on the passage. When the news of this disaster reached Toronto, young Robinson found itr necessary to article himself to some other lawyer in order to complete his studies. He selected Mr. McDonald who succeeded Mr. Boulton in the Attorney Generalship. But he was not long allowed to remain in quiet. In 1812 the war with the United States broke- out, and faithful to the Crown, with a lieutenant’s commission in a regiment of York militia, commanded by Colonel Allan, (father of the present Hon. G. Wi Allan) he followed Sir Isaac Brock to the field. He shared in the glory, danger, and privations of the cap- ture of Detroit, and took part in the fighting by which the victory at Queenston Heights w r as gained. At this latter place Attorney-General Macdonald, who served as aide-de-camp to Gen. Brock, was killed. Lieut. Robinson, more fortunate, escaped unwounded, and immediately after the action was despatched with some- prisoners to Kingston. Upon his return to Toronto, he was congratulated by a number of friends on his appointment to the Attorney-Generalship of the Pro- vince. He had not then been called to the bar; but he discharged the duties which devolved upon him with great assiduity, and had the good fortune ta satisfy those by whom he was employed. In 1815 however, Mr. Boulton having made his way to Canada was reinstalled in his position as Attorney-General; Mr. Robinson taking that of Solicitor-General. This arrangement lasted until 1818, when Mr. Boulton was elevated to the Bench, and Mr. Robinson again became- Almanac. 1864.] OBITUARY NOTICES. 811 Attorney General . I n this post he remained until 1829. In the year 1821 he entered the House of Assembly and became the leader of the Tories.and was a firm supporter of the “ Family Compact.” In 1829, he was appointed to the office of Chief Justice of Upper Canada, on the retirement of Sir Wm. Campbell. By virtue of his office he was Speaker of the Legislative and President of the Executive Council, and continued to take an active part in political affairs. This combination of legislative and judicial duties created much dissatis- faction, but was terminated in 1841, when the Judges were excluded from the Council. From this time his popularity increased, and the honor of a baronetcy conferred upon him in 1854 met with general approval. In 1862, he was led, by his increasing infirmities, to resign the office of Chief Justice of the Queen’s Bench. He died on the 31st January 1863, at the age of 71. His long experience, and the share he had taken in framing the laws of Canada, caused his decisions to be received with the greatest confidence. It is remark- able that he never appeared at the bar as the advocate of a prisoner, but always as the prosecutor for the Crown. His legal attainments were indisputably of the highest order, his judgments were always logical ; his diction was clear, and nis delivery fluent. Though his political principles atone time rendered him unpop- ular, yet the subsequent impartial and careful dis- charge of his judicial duties earned general respect, while his kind and benevolent disposition endeared him to a large circle of acquaintances. Sheepshanks, JonN, owner of the famous collec- tion of pictures, known as the Sheepshanks Gallery, which he presented to the nation during his lifetime, died on Monday, 6th Oct. 1863, aged 76. He was the son of a wealthy cloth manufacturer at Leeds, and suc- ceeded his father in the business. He was long known as a collector of choice pictures, and in Dec. 1856, pre- sented to the English nation the w hole of his splendid collection of drawings and paintings, for the purpose of public instruction in art. The collection, valued at $300,000, was removed to South Kensington early in 1857. Slade, Sir Frederick, was on the Western Cir- cuit, (England) between thirty and forty years. He went through the usual gradations of the profession, and became a most successful defender of prisoners. As time rolled on ho emerged from the criminal into the civil court, and was then called within the bar as a Q. C. His peculiar style was that of honesty and openness, accompanied by great humour, which soon gained him considerable practice. He was a zealous and untiring advocate, and greatly incensed when he discovered anything dishonest or disreputable, sparing not the highest in his remarks in the discharge of his duties. His sincerity, good nature and jocularity, had gained for him the love and regard of his compeers, and no man stood higher at the oar in the esteem and respect of those who occupied the bench, many of whom had in their time laboured with him. He died suddenly, in 1863. He had conducted a case the pre- vious day in the Nisi Prius Court, at Wells, with his usual vigor and ability. In the evening, he retired to his country seat at Maunsell, near Bridgewater, in apparent health, but the following day he complained of being unwell, and expired about *11 o’clock in the evening. Sumner, John Bird, Archbishop of Canterbury'. Born 1780. Educated at Cambridge. Appointed to the archbishopric in 1848. He w r as the author of seve- ral theological treatises, and a firm opponent of the tractarian party. Died 6th September 1862. Trollope Mrs. Frances, widow of Thos. A. Trol- lope, barrister-at law, died at Florence on the 6th Oct. 1863, aged 84. She was born at Heckfield, Hants, in 1779. Mrs. Trollope’s first appearance as an authoress was in her account of America, in which her descrip- tion of the social habits of the people gave great offence. The comic element of Mrs. Trollope’s nature had full --play in this work with the odd expressions, the absurd vulgarity and the upstart impudence of some among the low'er orders. The anger or the Americans was great : one reviewer called Airs. T. “an unsexed creature.” She afterw ards entered upon a long and tolerably suc- cesful career of authorship, and her literary activity was continued down to the year 1856, when she published “Fashionable Life in Paris and London.” One of her sons, Anthony Trollope, has acquired considerable fame as a novelist. . Whately, Dr., Archbi’p of Dublin, died Oct. 8, 1863, in the 77th year of his age. He was appointed arch- bishop of Dublin by Earl Grey in 1831, on the death of Archbishop Magee. For a long time the new Arch- bishop was an object of dislike and suspicion to the majority of his clergy on account of w r hat they regarded as his heterodox views respecting the law of the sab- bath, the inspiration of the authorized version of the Bible, the anthority of the Athanasian Creed, and other matters. But, not heeding personal attacks, he set to work with great earnestness in combating and refuting the errors that prevailed around him. He w T as indefatigable in his efforts to advance what he believed to be the truth, and to free the Protestant religion in Ireland from the odium brought upon it by the spirit of intolerance. Archbishop Whately was appointed one of the first Commissioners of Na- tional Education in Ireland. He was constant in his attendance at the meetings of the Board, a frequent visitor at its model schools, and an anxious observer of the system. His pen was ever ready to repel the attacks made upon it. In his addresses at public meetings, in the charges to his clergy, and in numerous pamphlets, he defended its principles, and exposed the misrepresentations of its opponents with a power of reasoning that nothing could withstand. His works on Logic, Rhetoric, and other subjects, are well known, and extensively used in schools and colleges. He also composed several manuals of instruction for the use of schools, on “Money Matters,” on “ Rea- soning,” on the “Evidences of Christianity,” and on the “British Constitution,” in which he displayed his extraordinary capacity for rendering profound truths intelligible to the young. His manly independence, his liberal views, and his scrupulous impartiality se- cured the entire confidence of the Roman Catholic members of the Board. He retired from the Board of Education soon after the appointment of Arch- bishop Cullen. His liberality in assisting the desti- tute families of clergymen, and others, especially during the tithe war and the famine years, was un- exampled in Ireland, except in the case of the late Lord Rrimate, Avhose great wealth enabled him to surpass every one in princely munificence. The Arch- bishop of Dublin’s income consisted almost entirely of the revenues of his diocese, and it may be truly said that according to his means his bounty w r as unparal- elled, and that in his character he presented the rare combinations of great intellectual pow r er, profound learning, and extraordinary public spirit, with an extremely kind and sympathetic heart. II is generosity, however, was not impulsive, but well regulated and discriminating. He once boasted in the House of Lords that there was one thing with which he could not reproach himself, he had never relieved a mendicant in the streets. He took care so to admin- ister relief, as not to encourage idleness and vice. When he gave away considerable sums of money to relieve deserving persons in temporary difficulties lie was accustomed to get them to sign a document promis- ing to repay the amount, whenever they were able, to persons similarly circumstanced. Among the monu- ments of his liberality which he left behind him is the Whately Professorship of Political Economy, which he endowed in the Dublin University. He had one son, a clergyman. His wife died 25th April 1860. Walker, Hon. William, M. L. C.— Mr. Walker, a leading merchant of the city of Quebec, came out to Canada in 1816. For many years lie was a member of the Legislative Council, Canada, and generally res- pected and esteemed. He died in May 1863. 312 MISCELLANEOUS, [1864. B. N. A. MISCELLANEOUS. THE ROYAL FAMILY.

Y From the Montreal Gazette of October 23, 18G3. Mr. Lovell’s School Books. We find in the Halifax Morning Journal of October 12th the short article which we subjoin. We are glad to notice the statements contained in it. They prove that the labors of our enterprising Montreal publisher are appreciated as they deserve to be in the Sister Provinces : “ On Thursday last, Mr. McGkath, the intelligent Agent “ of Lovell, the great publisher of Montreal, Canada, ap- “ peared before the Provincial Teachers’ Association, then in “ session at Windsor, for the purpose of explaining the ad- “ vantages possessed by the series of Lovell’s School Books “ over those now in use in the Provinces ; which he did in so “ clear, concise, and able a manner, that a vote of thanks to “ him was proposed and passed by the assembled Teachers. “ A Committee has been appointed to prepare a list of school “ books for general use, to be submitted to Rev. Dr. Forrester, “ Superintendent of Education, for approval; to be again “ approved of by the Legislature ; and from a cursory “ examination of Lovell’s Series, we hope to see a large portion “ of it officially authorized for general use in the schools of “ our Province.” LOVELL’S SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS. H AVING long felt the necessity existing for a SERIES OF EDUCATIONAL WORKS, prepared and expressly adapted for our COLONIAL SCHOOLS, the Publisher was induced to attempt the supply of this want. His efforts thus far have been crowned with success ; his books having been most generally welcomed in the Schools, and most favorably noticed by the Press, of British North America. LOVELL S GENERAL GEOGRAPHY has met with entire success, having been already introduced into almost every School throughout British North America. The General Geography, however, being considered too far advanced for young beginners , a new and elementary work has been prepared, entitled, EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. This book is intended as introductory to the General Geography; and a reference to the accompanying “ Opinions ” will show how fully it meets the object aimed at. He takes great pleasure in calling attention to the following list of the SCHOOL BOOKS already issued by him ; and to which he will add, from time to time, such new works as may be of use to the youth of the Provinces.

I am impressed with the belief that it is calculated to be eminently useful in the schools of the province.— Bishop of Quebec. C’est un travail prtfeieux qui fera honneur k votre presse, et rendra un vrai service a 1 ’Education primaire de nos enfauts . — Bishop of Montreal.

Elle m’a paru pleine de connaissances varices, int6- ressantes, et tres utiles k lajeunesse pour laquelle elle a 6t6 fai te.— Bishop of Ottawa. I have carefully perused it, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it a most useful improvement on the Geographies now used . — Bishop of Ontario. I think Mr. Hodgins will be admitted to have exe- cuted his part with much judgment and ability, and that, the work will give general satisfaction . — Chief Jus- tice Robinson. The system Mr. Hodgins has adopted is one which, of all others, is altogether efficient, and no doubt condu- cive to a clear, easy, and practical teaching of Geogra- phy .— Judge Monaelet. The book is one which is worthy of Canada, and, both as a scientific production as well as a work of art, is deserving of all praise . — Judge Aylwin. I am persuaded it will be found to be extremely useful, not only to our youth, but to ourselves, children of larger growth .— fudge Badgley. Je recommando avec plaisir la nouvelle Geographic en langue anglaise que vous vous proposes de publier. — Judge Morin. As regards ourselves, it is the first work of the kind in which the magnificent colonies of Britain have had justice done them . — Judge McCord. It is a vast improvement upon such works as have heretofore been in circulation in the country . — Sir W. E. Logan. I think the work a very important one as a standard educational book . — Dean of Montreal.

It is a work of prodigious labor, and of conscientious effort at accuracy of statement . — Director of the Chris- tian Brothers ’ Schools in Canada. The most prominent facts seem to have been care- fully gleaned, with an arrangement that appears to be very simple and lucid .— Archdeacon Bethune. I sincerely hope that it maj meet with general adop- tion in schools and private families . — Archdeacon »GxU- son. We are conscious that we shall be consulting tile beet* interests of the schools of the Society by endeavouring, to introduce the book into every part of our charga.*?- General Superintendent in B. A. A. qf the Colonial’ Church and School Society ; and the Superintendent: for the Diocese of Montreal . I shall be most happy to recommend it to the schools* in my superintendency, as well as to heads qf families, and hope it will be patronized as extensively as- it deserves. — Re v. J.

Dr. Mathieson . 326 lovell’s series of school books. [1864. b. jst. a. It contains ail immense amount of information, and yet the style and arrangement are so natural and easy as to prevent any appearance of tediousness and dry- ness, and greatly to aid the memory.— Rev. Wellington Jeffers. When it comes to be known by the public, I should think it must command a very extensive, if not univer- sal, circulation in the schools of British North America — Rev. John Cordner. I confidently anticipate for this and your other school books that large demand that will indicate the high appreciation ot the profession.— Rev. Dr. Wilkes . Your Geography is, without question, greatly in advance of all others that have yet been presented, for public use in this country.— lieu. A. F. Kemp. I have no hesitation in pronouncing it superior to any work of the same character and size extant.— Rev. Dr. Wood. Mr. [lodging has displayed much ability in his work. It is brief but comprehensive : " without overflowing, full." — Rev. Dr. Shortt. Your work on Geography supplies a want which teachers have long felt and complained of. — Rev. Dr. Leach. A most excellent, and in all respects, suitable school book.— Rev. Dr. Irvine. Such portions as I have paid particular attention to appear to me to be very accurate.— Rev. W. Snodgrass. It will become a necessity in our seminaries of edu- cation. — Rev. Dr. Bancroft. The work under review seems to merit the highest commendation.— Rev. J. Ellegood. The plan and manner of execution are both admir- able. — Rev. W. Scott. No existing work can be held to excel it —Rev A de Sola. This Geography— without controversy the best yet given to the British American public— will do much toward exalting the popular estimate of this brauch of study, and fostering the patriotism and loyalty of our people. — Rev. A. Camnan. It is most gratifying that Canada is not only prepar- ing her own school books, but that, as in the case ot the Geography , they are of so high an order of merit. —Rev. S. D. Rice. It is much more suitable for the use of our Canadian youths than Morse’s and other similar Geographies — Rev. Henry Patton. 6 1 A boon much needed and well-timed — calculated at once to save the minds of our youth from improper associations, and to lead them to* cherish national and patriotic teelings. — Rev. Dr. Urquhart. The plan is most excellent, inasmuch as it contains multum in parvo, and brings into one view an immense mass of useful information, abridging the labors both ot teacher and taught in no ordinary degree.— Rev David Black. I am much pleased with the plan and style of the woik It cannot, fail of being useful in the schools for which it is intended.— Rev. J. Goadby. The fairness and impartiality with which the different countries are described, will commend it to general use. — Rev. E. J. Rogers. It seems tome just* what is needed, suited to the requirements of the country in its matter, form, and price.— Rev. J. B. Bonar. I think the publication of the work ought to be regarded as a matter of sincere congratulation to the cur li try at large.— Rev. W. S. Darling. Where all is excellent it is diflicult to particularize but 1 may state that I consider the introductory part deserving of especial commendation.— Rev. Dr. Brooke. The classification appears to be faultless, the defini- tions .concise and lucid, and the information given in regard to the derivation and pronunciation of proper names is very valuable. It is indeed multum in parvo and .will doubtless become the standard Geoirranhv of eur schools.— Rev. I. B. Howard.

Dr. Adamson. The work is well adapted to meet the requirements of the schools in our own province, and will do good service should it find a place in the schools of other lands.— Rev. William Ormiston, D.D. H will, no doubt, become a valuable national work, and take its place as a standard book in our schools.— Mrs. Susanna A foodie.

In issuing your new work you have supplied the schools with a valuable auxiliary for conducting the education ot our youth. — Mrs. E. H.

I have carefully examined the advance sheets of your General Geography," which I think is a great improvement over any other book of the kind now used in Canada. — Hon. John Young. I have never seen one arrangod upon a better system, or more profusely and judiciously illustrated.— Thos. C. Keefer. Its complete description of the British colonies fills a vacuum not supplied heretofore by either foreign or British Geographies; while the style in which it is got up. and its low price, cannot fail to recommend it for general purposes.— Hon. A. A. Dorian, M P P Almanac. 1864.] LOVELL’S GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. 827 Not only to the Canadian student will it prove a boon, but it will be found useful and entertaining every- where. — Wolf red Nelson , M.D. It is a work well calculated to attain the end which you have in view, and will undoubtedly prove invalua- ble as a text-book in the hands of our Canadian youth. —J.B. Meilleur, M.D., LL.D., •Ex- Superintendent of Education for Lower Canada. I have much pleasure in saying that 1 conceive it to be compiled with much care and judgment; at the same time the admirable engravings and maps add greatly to its value, and make it in my opinion the best school Geography I have ever met with. — T. Sterry Hunt , M.A., LL.D., F.R.S. As regards the manner in which the different sub jects have been treated, I consider it all that can be desired. — Archibald Hall, M.D . , L.R.C.S.E. The' editorial department has been carried out with a talent and perseverance worthy of the highest en- comiums, and has left nothing to’ be desired. As an educational book of the first class, I feel confident that it will supersede any work on the same subject at present in use. — Charles Smallwood , M.D., LL.D . I believe that the Geography will prove a boon to the country, and will have a most happy effect in train- ing the youth of the British provinces to right views of the great extent of their country, and of the variety of its resources, and will largely contribute to the de- velopment of a national sentiment.— Alexander Morris, M.P.P. I trust that the enterprise and zeal which you have shown in thus providing a work more particularly adapted to the Canadian stand-point, though by no means confined to it, will meet with the success that it merits. — Colonel Wilmot. Mr. Hodgins and you have, in this volume, made a very valuable addition to our series of school books, and I have no doubt that your enterprise will be appre- ciated by every friend of education.— Benjamin Work - man , M.D. A mon avis il devra surpasser l’attentetant dans son ensemble que dans ses details, de ceux qui d^siraient voir remplir la lacuno qui existait pour fa langue an- glaise au moins, dans les livres k l’usage des Ccoles. — Etienne Parent, Assistant Provincial Secretary East. J’y ai admird 1'ordre et Parrangcment des matieres comme de leurs lucidcs et classiques dispositions, qui accusent de savantes recherches et d'heurcuses combi- naison8. — Joseph G. Barthe. Je no hasardc rien, en disant qu’il n'y a pas, en geo- graphic de volume qui pour un prix aussi modique, offre la reunion d’un aussi grand nombre de actions pratiques. — P. R. Lafrenaye. I think your Geography better adapted for schools than any one I have seen used in the province, and trust you may succeed in getting it generally intro- duced. — Andrew Robertson. The sections relating to the North American pro- vinces are peculiarly valuable, on account of their fur- nishing, in a condensed form, authentic particulars hitherto not to be found in any school Geography.— Alpheus Todd, Librarian to the Legislative Assembly. I cannot wish you better success than your excellent work so richly merits; and I trust the people of Canada, at least, will show their appreciation of it by its general adoption. — IXmbar Ross. It was high time we should have a school Geography which would give due prominence to our own and the sister colonics, as yours does.— Hon. Thomas D’Arcy McGee, M.P.P. It is just what I have been hoping to see in Canada for many vears; and I hope its general adoption in the schools of both sections of the province will remune- rate you for your outlay in getting it up.— John S. Sanborn. It seems to me to be a very excellent school book, and just what we wanted to make us independent as to the American Geographies. — G. W. Wicksteed, Law Clerk, Legislative Assembly. A great improvement upon the books on the same subject now generally used in this province.— Frede- rick Griffin, Q.C. Destined very shortly to supersede most of the Geo- graphies now in use in British North America. — T. A. Gibson, First Assistant Master , High School, Montreal. Such a work has long been needed in this country. — Professor Hicks, McGill Normal School. It is an excellent work, and I have no doubt will soon supersede all other Geographies in the schools of Canada .— Charles Nichols, L.R.C.P., Principal of Col- legiate School. Its general plan is good. — Dr. Lawson, Queen's Col- lege, Kingston. Having looked over the American part of Lovell’s General Geography, I consider it better adapted for our colonial schools than any Geography now in use. — John Connor, Principal Niagara Common School. I am delighted to find that such a work is in an ad- vanced state, aud, to show my entire approbation of the work, I shall be ready on its publication, if autho- rized by the Board ot Council of Education, to take at least 30 copies, thus supplying each boy in the Grammar School under my charge with a copy. — H. N. Phillips, Principal, Niagara Senior County Grammar School. I feel sure its use in our schools will be acceptable to the teachers, and beneficial to the pupils . — John Simp- son, M.P.P. I have no hesitation in saying that the work must come into general use in our Schools. — William Tassie, M. A., Principal of the Galt Grammar School. The prominence given to our own country is a feature that specially commends it for use in Canadian schools. — Rot us Parmalee, Inspector qf Schools in the Eastern Townships, It represents immense labour loyally bestowed, and high aims patriotically advanced. Yve must cherish and appreciate a work which has been so carefully adapted to our tastes, and suited to our wants.— Fen- nings Taylor, Clerk Assistant, Legislative Council . The whole work is marked by learning, ability, and taste.— Archibald Macallum, Principal of the Hamilton Centred School. I have great pleasure in assuring you that in my hum- ble judgment, your General Geography appears to be so judicious in its arrangements and order, so lucid in its definitions and descriptions,— combining copious- ness of information with brevity aud simplicity, yet clearness and even elegance of expression,— that I cannot for a moment doubt that the work in question will prove of the greatest utility in our schools.— A. S. M. Bouchette. I have no hesitation in saying that I think the work an excellent one, both in plan, and execution, and well fitted to supply a place which I have understood to be void among school books . — Thomas M. Taylor. I have much pleasure in stating that I have never seen a work better adapted for the use of educational intitutions .— Richard Nettle, Superintendent of Fishe- ries for Lower Canada. I feel much interested in its appearance, and I accord to it my unqualified approbation.— John Smith, Head Master of the High School, St. John, C. E. That your General Geography, with maps and illus- trations, will have the tendency to advance tho impor- tant objects which it proposes is unquestionable. It is intelligent, practical, and highly interesting.— Thos. Worthington. 328 LOVELL’S SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS. [1864. B. N. A CITY OF MONTREAL. Extracts from Opinions of the Canadian Press on Lovell’s General Geography. V'e have now a Geography whence our young people will acquire a correct idea of the country they live in, and which will assert in the face of the world our right to consideration and respect. — Montreal Herald. We think Mr. Hodgins has succeeded in compiling a Geography, which is not only a great improvement on all that have been hitherto in use in our schools, but is as nearly perfect as is possible in a Geography lor general us a. —Montreal Gazette. There is, with respect to every portion of the Globe, a mass ot information, collected in a form so com- pressed and yet so full, as really seems incomprehen- sible.— Montreal Transcript. This is the most important work which has yet issued Irom the Canadian Press, as it is the best.— Commercial Advertiser, Montreal. i his is a very valuable work, which we warmly commend to the notice of teachers and all persons en- gaged m the task of education.— True Witness, Mont- real. C’est, croyons-nous, la Geographic la plus complete que nous ayons eue jusqu’ici; nous nous permettrons done de la recommander fortement aux maisons d Education. — L'Ordre, Montreal. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it, in every respect, the best Geography for Schools that we have yet seen. It must come into universal use in Canada, and therefore the sooner it is introduced into schools the better.— Christian Guardian, Toronto. Ro work of the kind could be more complete.— Toronto Daily Leader. Wo are very much pleased with this work, which we have examined carefully. The maps are accurate and well engraved, the typography is excellent, and the whole execution of the work highly creditable to Canadian enterprise.— Canadian United Presbyterian Magazine , Toronto. Highly creditable to Canadian enterprise, it con- tains a vast amount of information suitable to a Genera! Geography; while it has no rival in the de- tailed and accurate knowledge it affords of the extent and resources of the British American provinces. — Canadian Independent , Toronto. We consider this Geography far superior, especially lor Canadian schools, in many respects, to any similar work heretofore available to the public in this country, and we are surprised to see it sold for only one dollar. —Canadian Agriculturist, Toronto. Merely to say that Mr. Hodgins, the able and accom- plished author of the volume, has executed his work well, is, we think, but paying him a poor compliment. He has undertaken and discharged a duty which we think few could have achieved with equal success. — British American Journal, Montreal. This work supplies a want long felt in our schools. As a manual of Geography it seems to leavo nothin" further to bo desired.— Echo, Montreal. We tliink the rising generation in these provinces should have a geographical text-book for themselves, giving a true history and correct description compati- ble with their political and social importance, and such a text-book we have in that now before us — Canada 'Temperance Advocate, Montreal. It is correct and most explicit with regard to every portion of the Globe.— Hamilton Daily Spectator. e have carefully examined the contents, and can safely recommend it to the favorable consideration of the public as a very valuable addition to Canadian school books. — Toronto Evening Journal.

In Canada, we feel assured, it will find its way into every household. — Kingston Daily News. “Lovell’s General Geography” is the very thing that is required for our schools— most ably and correct ly got up, handsomely printed, and, in a national point of view, it is a boon to the country. — Herald and Adver- tiser, Kingston. It is a valuable contribution to the cause of educa- tion. — London Daily Free Press. We trust to see it adopted in our schools, in prefer- ence to,, those generally imported from the United States. — Daily Prototype, London. To Canadians this is an invaluable work, as it is the only Geography that has ever done justice to Canada and the other British Provinces. — Belleville Intelli- gencer. One of the most useflil works ever issued from the Canadian press. — Ottawa Gazette. We rejoice in the appearance of this new and excel- lent compendium of Geography. — Cobourg Star. It is the most complete and interesting work of the kind ever published. — Cobourg Sentinel. We have no hesitation in recommending it to the favorable notice of teachers and friends of education generally.— Cobourg Sun. Tho arrangement of the varied contents, for con- ciseness, is admirable. — Conservative Messenger , Pres- cott. We hope that it may, as soon as practicable, be adopted uniformly in all our schools. — Hastings Chronicle, Belleville. We feel warranted in extending to it the fullest recommendation. We hope to see this new work at once introduced into all our schools.— Peterborough Review. We heartily commend the book to those engaged in education, and hopo that the Council of Public In- struction will authorize it to be used as a text-book in our public schools. — Freeholder, Cornwall. We can at once pronounce the Geography the most correct — certainly the best adapted for school use— we have ever seen ; and we hope soon to ?e a it on every school desk in the country.— Examiner, Peterborough. We unhesitatingly pronounce it the best for the use of Canadian schools. We hope to see this work well patronized.— Port Hope Messenger. We have examined it carefully, and find that it is superior to any Geography now in us e.— Perth Courier. Mr. Lovell has conferred upon the people of British North America u lasting obligation, by furnishing them with a school Geography especially adapted to their local wants.— Sherbrooke Gazette. From an examination of tho work, we should think it well adapted as a text-book for schools in Canada. — Stan stead Journal. We consider the Geography one of the best extant; and hope it may soon supersede, in the schools throughout the Province, the use of all similar publi- cations. — St. Johns News. Lovell’s General Geography is Canadian wonder. In fact, it is just such a manual as we would wish to see introduced into every school in Canada. — Richmond Guardian.

No other Geography contains such a store of infor- mation respecting the British North American pos- sessions, and none other does equal justice to the ter- ritorial extent and boundaries of the united provinces of Upper and Lower Canada.— Huntingdon Herald. Altogether we consider this Geography one of tho best extant, and hope it will soon supersede, in the schools throughout the Province, the use of all similar publications. — Advertiser, Waterloo. Mr. Lovell has done much towards advancing the educational interests of the country, but we question whether any of his former efforts equals this one in importance or excellence. We sincerely hope this work will be introduced into all our schools at an early day. — Eastern Townships Gazette, Granby. It is full of valuable infownation, is beautifully printed, elegantly illustrated, and is well worth the small price claimed for it,— one dollar. — Niagara Mail. It ought to have the patronage of all the Boards of Education; and thousands of adults would receive a great amount of instruction by obtaining a copv. As a book of reference it is invaluable. — Windsor Herald. Whiloit by no means neglects the Geography of the other countries of the world, that of Canada occupies tho most prominent position. — Paris Star. After a caroful inspection of this Canadian work, we unhesitatingly pronounce it to be a valuable boon con- ferred upon the youth of the British American Pro- vinces.— Constitution, Fergus. Its plan and arrangement are both admirable, and, while it has the recommendation of brevity, it is a lull and complete geographical work. In these respects, as well as in mechanical execution and literary ability, it excels all works of tho kind hitherto produced. — Whitby Chronicle. It is the most valuable and comprehensive work of the kind, for the use of schools, that could be put into the hands of our students. It must at once become a standard school book. — Whitby Watchman. Mr. Hodgins has conferred no small boon on the f - outh of the British American provinces, by the publ- ication of this very excellent school manual of Geogra- phy. Wo cannot doubt but Lovell’s Geography will speedily supersede Morse’s in all our public schools. — Guelgli Herald. It appears, fVom the opportunity w© havo had of examining it, to be the result of a great deal of labor and expense. We trust the enterprising publisher will receive that cordial support to which the morit of his publication entitles him. — Guelph Advertiser. It is with no small pride wo announce the fact that a General Geography of the World with a fair proportion of its contents devoted to a description of Canada, has been published. It beoomes the duty of those at tho liead of our educational concerns— superintendents, teachers and trustees — to encourage this new work. — Times, Woodstock. 330 LOVELL’S SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS, [1864. B. N. A This is a Canadian work, and is published in a stylo which would do no discredit to the first nations of the world.— Dumfries Reformer, Galt. We hope to see this Geography introduced into our common schools, and generally adopted by eachcrs and instructors in the Canadas.— Berlin Tele /, aph. It is really a credit to the province. We feel sure that our teachers, and others having charge of schools, 'will cause it to be used almost exclusively in the educa- tional establishments of the country. — Evening Journal, St. Catherines. Heretofore Canadian children have been compelled to study a foreign Geography, in which our noble coun- try was not represented as it is, so minutely and truth- tully, in the work before us.— York Herald, Richmond Hill Air. Hodgins’ work is free from dwarfing the interests of any people, but large attention is given where most needed, to Canada and the sister colonies. — Argus, Chatham. It meets a want which nothing has hitherto supplied, and we are convinced that it wifi work its w ay into the houses as well as the schools of our land. — Weekly Dispatch, St. Thomas. This is a very beautiful and useful Geography, just issued at the low price of one dollar. — Grand River Sachem, Caledonia. We may safely predict its being adopted as a text- book in all the schools and colleges throughout the province. — Gananoque Reporter . It is the best Geography published, and we can con- scientiously recommend it to the attention of teachers of schools in Canada. — Maple Leaf, Sandwich. It is the best, publication of the kind ever issued. — Omemee Warder. We highly commend this Geography, being excellent beyond all competitors. — Cayuga Setilinel. Not only as an exhibition of Canadian literary pro- gress, but as a beautiful and appropriate sample of Canadian art, we must congratulate the Publisher on this very onportune and praiseworthy donation to the teachers of youth in Canada. — British Flag, Brighton. The explanatory and descriptive matter is of the most useful and comprehensive order. — Welland Reporter, Drummond ville. The present w r ork commends itself at once to the attention of parents and teachers. — Waterloo Chronicle. The arrangement of the maps and matter is admir- able. and well calculated to make the study attractive to the learner. — St. Mary's Argus. It is "with no ordinary feelings of pleasure w r e hail the appearance of this work. — Oshawa Vindicator. We earnestly recommend its general adoption in our schools. — Essex Journal, Sandwich. We earnestly trust that no time will bo lost in intro- ducing it into our common schools. No Canadian youth can understand the geography of his country without having studied “Lovell’s General Geography.” — Woodstock Sentinel. As a complete Geography and Atlas, this new w r ork is superior to any other extant, and is just what is very necessary in our Canadian schools, into which we hope to see it at once introduced.— Perth Standard, St. Mary’s. It is in every respect a most excellent elementary work, and admirably adapted for the use of schools, and we hope to sec it universally adopted as the school Geography of Canada.— Brampton Times. It begins, as it ought to do, with Canada, and is. in matter, illustration, execution and general comeliness, a credit to the country.— Norfolk Messenger, Simcoe. This excellent book, which is creditable to any print- ing establishment, is well adapted to the use ol our Can- adian schools. — Markham Economist. We are fully convinced that it will prove to be of great utility in our schools. Itsh<*ild be highly prized by Canadians, not only because it is a Canadian work, but because, in addition to its giving a satisfactory knowledge of all parts of the world, it gives a fair por- tion of prominence to the British colonies.— Brantford Courier. In every feature of this work is exhibited accuracy and fairness; and we pronounce it the most valuable book that ever issued from a Canadian press —an hon- our to its author, and creditable to its publisher.— Galt Reporter. This is one of the best works on General Geography that has been issued from the press. We hope to see it used as a text-book in all our schools. — Ayr Observer. It has come in good time, for there is no school book more needed than a Canadian Geography. We cheer- fully recommend it to school trustees, and hope they will immediately take measures to have it introduced into the common schools.— People’s Press, Fonthill. It is infinitely better suited to supply the requirements of Canadian youth than any American publication of the kind. W e have no doubt it will soon be generally adopted for use in our public schools.— Expositor, Brantford. A much larger space is gevoted to Canada than in any Geography now belore the people.— New Era, Newmarket. Mr. Lovell’s endeavors to produce a Geography that would contain all the information which could possibly be desired, has, w r e think, been entirely successful. — Picton Gazette. Our magnificentprovinces, which in American Geog- raphies are generally passed over as if merely a speck on the continent, have for the first time received due prominence. — True Banner, Dundas.

We doubt not Mr. Lovell’s exertions will be duly appreciated, and that the work will soon be introduced into our schools.— Napanee Standard. The work is one of high excellence, and we trust will be adopted as a standard in all educational institutions in our country. It ought to have a place in every house in Canada.— Carleton Place Journal. The work is very ably edited and exceedingly well got up. — Spirit of the Age, Barrie. W r e have great pleasure in hailing the appearance of this new work .—lngersoll Chronicle. Its merits are many, and its claims on Canadian pat- ronage are imperative.— Huron Signal, Goderich. It is very neatly and correctly executod, giving sufficient importance to this portion of Her Majesty’s dominious. This feature of the work alone, should secure for Lovell’s Geographv a place in every school in the Province.— Shannonville Advertiser.

This work supplies a want which has been long and seriously felt in all of our British American schools. We can with perfect confidence recommend this book to teachers and heads ot families throughout these North American colonies, as, without exception, the very first work of its class which they can place in their children’s hands; and we hope that it will immediately come into general use . — Acadian Recorder , Halifax, The remark often made that the geography of other countries is better known by the youth of Nova Scotia than that of their own province, need be no longer a fact. We shall be glad to know that the work has come into general use in the schools of this province. — Christian Messenger, Halifax, N. Its plan and arrangement are admirable, and in me- chanical execution and literary ability it excels. Mr. Lovell, the enterprising publisher of Montreal, de- serves all praise for producing a work of so much value to the youth of British America . — Morning Chro- nicle, Halifax, N. S. Mr. Hodgins, the author, has given to each country its due, and his labors are likely to meet with their reward . — Morning Sun, Halifax, N. S. We have received a copy of this valuable publica- tion. Instead of any recommendation of our own, we believe the public will be glad to see the following from the Superintendent of Education :— “Truro, August 15, 1861. “I have examined Lovell’s General Geography with some care and much satisfaction. Along with a large amount of historical, statistical, and scientific infor- mation on General Geography, presented in the most attractive form by means of maps and wood-cut illus- trations, it seems to me to give a proper relative posi- tion to the British colonies in North America, — a griev- ous defect in Morse’s and other similar publications. “ Altogether, I have no hesitation in recommending it as the best text-book on Elementary Systematic Geography that has ever appeared on tliis continent, and I hope to see it in general use in all our schools. “Alex. Forrester, “Superintendent of Education.” — Presbyterian Witness, Halifax, N. S. We can safely say that it is a work well deserving of the patronage of all educational establishments in the provinces of British North America. Our advice is,— Banish Morse from every school in these provinces, and furnish them freely with “Lovell’s General Geo- graphy.”— Provincial “Wesleyan , Halifax, N. S. We find it to be all that can be desired for the Elementary Scfrools in the British American provinces. We have no hesitation in bespeaking for it the favor- able attention of school authorities and teachers. — Tribune, Yarmouth, N. S. From a careful investigation of its contents, we can say that the author has been highly successful in his endeavors. Every portion of the globe is treated in a concise manner, and the letterpress is so arranged that the information desired may bo readily got at. We commend the work especially to the attention of those engaged in education, as a substitute for the American Geographies now in use.— Morning Journo], Halifax. We have much pleasure in recommending for the use of our schools. It is exactly vvliat has been long wanted in the colonies, and we hope that it may be introduced immediately into all the schools in the country .— British Colonist, Halifax, N. S. The one before us being of colonial compilation, is certainly the more reliable for British North American colonists as it contains the most extensive and truthful information respecting these colonies. We hope it will soon be in use in every school in this province. — Evening Express, Half ax, N. S. It seems well adapted to our colonial schools. Dr. Hellmuth hopes to introduce it into the schools of the Colonial Church Society, and it will be well if it take the place of the many books ot the same character which arc now in use in our own province . — Church Record, Halifax, N. S. We have much pleasure in recommending this work to the notice of teachers and the public generally. The whole appearance of the book is superior to any similar work that we have yet seen. None of the Geographies hitherto published have givon these provinces tlie rommence which their growing importance merits, ut in this work the want is supplied, and on this account alone, we hope to soe this Geography generally used throughout the schools. — Reporter, Halifax, N. S. We have no doubt it will supply a useful place in education, particularly as a text-book for elementary schools .— Eastern Chronicle, Pictou, N. S. We are happy to be able to recommend it as a work which supplies an important desideratum in our public schools . — Colonial Standard, Pictou, N. S. 332 LOVELL’S series op school books. 1864.] B. N. A. CITY OF ST. JOHN, N. B. Extracts from Opinions of the New Brunswick Press on Lovell’s General Geography. A Want Supplied —School teachers, parent*?, and all interested in educational matters, have felt that a Geography, above all other books, was required in the schools. Mr. Lovell has supplied this deficiency; the plan of which is excellent, and is adapted to the youth of the British provinces. It is emphatically a British North American Geography, and commences at home, as it should do, and not on the old principle of learning the youth everything about foreign nations, while they are kept in ignorance of the country in which they live. Wo wish to see it in every school, and hope it will supersede those now in use . — Morning Globe, St. John , N. B. An excellent, and wo must add, indispensable school book. As a manual of Geography it leaves nothing, as far as we can judge, to be desired. It will neces- sarily lead the youthful mind to dwell upon the vast- ness of the British dominions in North America, and cause our juvenile friends to consider that “ where formerly the red man and the wild beast roamed, in our day Christianity and civilization claim their power, and science follows in their path .”— New Brunswicker, St. John, H. B. This excellent work supplies a want long felt in these provinces,— a text book which treats of our own coun- try. We trust it will be universally patronized .— New Brunswick Baptist, St. John, N. B. This Geography is very carefully and elaborately got up. It seems to be worthy of the encomiums which all of the first rank and position of all creeds ami parties in Canada lavish upon it . — Morning Freeman , St. John, N. B. This excellent publication completely supplies a long ex «ting desideratum in our provincial schools. So well has the task been executed, both by author and publisher, that vre recommend it with the greatest con- fidence to the patronage of all our provincial teachers and parents. The publication as a whole is so pecu- liarly adapted for the use of British colonists, that wo earnestly hope it will rapidly supersede all other Geo- graphies in our provincial schools. — Courier, St. John, This work is put forth by a Canadian publisher, and will admirably answer the purpose intended. It is a useful publication, and might very well replace the Geographies got up in the United States, where uncle Sam’s territory usurps undue space and notice, and British North America is treated as it were a not much explored, and a little known region of the world, of which it is in reality a very fair and ample portion.— Head Quarters, St. John. N. B. The Provinces receive a fair share of space and de- tail. while other countrios receive full justice. The work is one which deserves an extensive circulation ; it is a colonial production; is well printed, and comes highly commended by the savans of Canada. We cheerfully recommend it to the school teachers of the province as an excellent substitute for the faulty Geo- graphies now in use— Morning Hews, St. John, N. B. We are glad to be able to inform our readers, and especially the teachers of our New Brunswick schools, that we nave at lost a Geography which seems suitable to our wants. “ Lovell’s General Geography ” is, in our opinion, an exceedingly valuable and suitable con- tribution to our school literature. We expect soon to see this the only Atlas used in our Schools in these colonies. We commend it especially to the notice of all the teachers of schools in our province. We believe they will be doing a service to the pupils under their care, by urging them to lay aside the Atlases previously in use, and to procure Lovell's General Geography.” —Albion, St. John, N. B. We have glanced over this work with much satisfac- tion. It tills a want which has long been felt in the schools of these provinces. We predict for it an ex- tensive sale . — Christian Watchman, St. John, N. B. LOVELL’S GENERAL GEOGRAPHY, 333 Almanac. 1 8 64 . ] CITY OF CHARLOTTETOWN, F. E. I. Extracts from Opinions of the Prince Edward It is more suitable for our schools than British eographies, because *it gives a fuller description of America, the quarter of the globe in which we dwell, a nd with which we ought tote best acquainted; ami on the other hand it is free from the objection to American works of the kind, as they almost ignore every part of the world except the United States. We trust, then, that the Board of Education will lose no time in placing it on the list of school books for this island. — Protestant, Charlottetown, P. E. I. It is a work of unquestionable merit; and is a desid- eratum to all school interests. Our Island Board of Island Press on Lovell’s General Geography. Education will doubtless put it on their list of ap* proved School Books, and recommend its adoption by general island use.— Examiner, Charlottetown, P. E. /. It reflects the highest credit both upon the author and publisher, and we trust the day is not distant when it will find its way into all our public schools and educa- tional establishments, and be the means of eradicating those erroneous and pernicious publications by whicn the wants of too many of our district schools— for want of something better — have hitherto been sup- plied. — Monitor, P. E. I. CITY OF ST. JOHN, N. F. Extracts from Opinions of the Newfoundland Press on Lovell’s General Geography. We regard the work as the most excellent of the kind that has yet been produced. It is highly credit- able in every respect to the genius of British America. — Sh Johns Daily News, Newfoundland. We commend it to the attention of those of our com- munity having in charge the education of youth. It is arranged in a systematic manner, and yet so simple as to prove most efficient in leading on the minds of children in a proper study of Geography. It has been adopted in a majority of schools throughout the prov- inces, and the testimonials published at the end of the work are of the very highest order.— Public Ledger, St. Johns, Newfoundland. This work is one of the most complete of the kind that we have ever met with, and appears to be not only admirably adapted for the use of schools, but very valuable as a book of general reference on the subject of which it treats. It is compiled with great care, and the varied matter it embraces most judiciously arrang- ed, while the mass of information it contains gives it a completeness which characterizes few, if any other works of a similar class. Altogether the work before us recommends itself to all, and we consider it should not only be in every school, but that it would be an acquisition to every library.— Morning Post, St. Johns, Nevfound land. 334 LOVELL’S series op school books. 1,3 have rarely, probably never, seen a work of the kind offered to the public with clearer titles to success. It appears to us to be in many respects a decided im- provement upon the geographies lieretotore in general use. It contains a variety of information upon matters on which other Geographies are either silent or incor- rect; and what should particularly commend the book to popularity m these colonics, is that in their regard it supplies the want complained of in other similar works— while comprising all the leading geographical and other interesting features of the older countries of the globe, it is careful to give us the best information upon every portion of British North America.— New- foundlander, St. Johns , Newfoundland. This book meets a w ant which we have long noticed, better than any other w r ork of the kind with which we are acquainted. It treats of these North American colonies as the homes of the youth for whose instruc- tion it is designed. We hope shortly to find that this valuable work is used in every school in Newfoundland. — Telegraph , St. Johns, Newfoundland..

PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS OP VARIOUS GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS. Extracts from Opinions of the Canadian Pres3 on Easy Lessons in General Geography It appears admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is intended, and we nave no doubt it will have a large and ready sal c.— Montreal Herald. The design of the work is indicated in tho^itle; and when to this is added that it is from the pen of the author of “ Lovell’s General Geography,” we have said enough to recommend it to tne favorable con- sideration of the Canadian people. But we can state forther that we have looked it over with care, and that wo consider it a valuable addition to our school book literature. We should be glad to see it come into general use, and Mr. Lovell rewarded for his meritori- ous exertions by the sale of many thousands of copies. — Montreal Gazette. Equal to any work of the kind printed in the Great Republic. The object intended, so far as our judgment f joes, has been admirably attained. Indeed, in the able lands of Mr. Hodgins, the Deputy Superintendent of Education for Upper Canada, it could scarcely be otherwise. The publisher says that such a period of time has been spent in the preparation of this book, and such care and labor bestowed upon its revision, that it is believed it will be found of incalculable benefit to the youth of the country. We agree in this; and we hope it will have a large sale. When once the work is brought generally before the people, there is not a school or an educational institution, public, private- rich or poor, that will not make these ** Easv Lessons ” a text-book for young beginners .— Montreal Transcript . 336 lovell’s series of school books [1 864. b. s. a. It is designed as introductory to the publisher’s excellent ” General Geography,” which many teachers consider too advanced lor young beginners, and is admirably adapted to the purpose lor which it is intended. The arrangement is excellent. The work contains in a small space a very large amount of useful information, and though intended for young beginners in geography, its pages may be consulted with advan- tage by ” children of a larger growth.” We trust that the book will find a large and ready sale.— Montreal Commercial Advertiser. This little work, though complete in itself, is designed as introductory to “ Lovell’s General Geography.” We have no hesitation in recommending it to teachers: the simplicity of the language and conversational freedom in the mode of expression will not fail to please the jun- ior class, tor whose special benefit, we need scarcely add, it w as written. — Journal of Education, Montreal. Geography is a delightful study, and these Lessons are a delightful method of imparting an interest in it to the young. The sketches are admirable, combining great ingenuity and tact with the use of easy and xkmiliar language, in the treatment of such subjects as the Earth and its appearance, Time and its divisions, Geography, the Hemispheres, the Mariner’s Compass, &c. The trips are designed to connect, in the mind of the pupil, the objects and associations of travel with a geographical knowledge of the more important phy- sical features of the principal countries in the world. We are glad to see religion discreetly respected, and lovalty taught as one of its lessons, — Presbyterian, Montreal. On ne pouvait trouver un meilleur systeme pour 1’4- ducation de la jeunesse.

Lovell une part de Pencouragement que lui m 6 rite lit ses constants efforts: Encourage home talent. — Le Colonisateur , Montreal. The whole plan of this volume, and all its illustra- tions, are admirable, and we have no doubt that the work will prove valuable in all our common schools. Mr. Lovell’s enterprise in getting up, at a great ex- pense, his series of school books, is worthy of all praise. — Christian Guardian, Toronto. It deserves a place in every Canadian school. The easy, attractive manner in which it leads the little pupil onward, step by step, can scarcely fail to interest him and prepare him for the larger w r ork. — Canadian Baptist, Toronto. Simplicity and comprehensiveness as regards the subject haveneen deemed the chief requisites, which have been therefore continually borne in mind; as well as the aiding pupils by maps and w ood cuts, the first mentioned being so prepared as not at an early stage to confuse the pupil with minute details, but to assist the text in giving general ideas. — Hamilton Evening Times. It is a very fine specimen of typography, admirably adapted for use in our public schools, and we trust to see it soon in general circulation throughout the coun- try. Mr. Lovell is deserving of the highest encourage- ment for his enterprise in placing before the Canadian public so many useful and instructive publications as have emanated from his press withiu the last few years. — Quebec Daily News. On s ait que la grande geograpliie de M. Hodgins a 6 t£ g&feraleraent ac'cueillie avec favour, et c’ 6 tait justice. Le nouveau travail de M. Hodgins sera surtout utile aux commcuyants.

It appears to be well calculated for a school book, being simple and comprehensive. Canada has a fair share of attention, and not more than she merits. The work is deserving of the patronage of all our schools, and we hope it will receive such patronage. — Prescott Telegraph. The book is itself a model of perfect printing; the numerous illustrations are all remarkably well exe- cuted, and the maps, though ot course smaller, are we think rather an improvement on the maps in the “ General Geography.” — News and Advocate, Frontier Montreal and St. Johns. Admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended. The arrangement is excellent. — Herald and Advertiser, Kingston. Much labor appears to have been bestowed upon its contents, which, from their simplicity and comprehen- siveness, will be found well suited to new* beginners, and is valuable in every particular. We trust it may receive the extended circulation it deserves. — London Prototype. As a preparatory work, it is everything that could be desired, being simple in style and comprehensive in subject. Mr. Lovell is doing good service to the cause of education in this province by the publication of works of this character. They supply a desideratum which has long been felt, namely— text-books, which, while placing Canada in its proper position, will be advantageous in a literary and educational point of view to the rising generation. — Ottawa Citizen. The plan adopted by the author is well calculated to insure attention on the part of the learner, and being interested he will be apt to retain the information so pleasantly given. We should be glad to see this work adopted in our common schools. — Cobourg Star. The book is what it pretends to be, for the use of beginners in learning geography, and we never came across so excellent a work for young children. We look upon the w ork as a desideratum, and hope that it will have a large sale. It needs but to be knowm to be prized. — Peterborough Examiner. We would recommend its use in all our schools as it will be found of incalculable benefit in preparing children for the ” General Geography.”— Poi't Hope Messenger. It is an introductory book to “ Lovell’s General Geography,” and w*e think it admirably adapted to the purpose. Simplicity and comprehensiveness are the distinguishing characteristics of the book. We hope the public will give Mr. Lovell the encouragement he so richly deserves for his enterprise in endeavoring to supply a desideratum which has long been felt, i.e., a series of Canadian School Books.— Port Hope Guide. The work is entirely Canadian, and reflects great cre- dit upon the spirit ot the publisher, for his enterprise in furnishing us with a series of Canadian School Books, w hich we hope will be duly appreciated by the public of Canada ; and we trust that this, as well as all the other w r orks of” Lovell’s Senes of Canadian School Books,” will receive that attention which their usefulness and importance merit. We would call the attention of school teachers residing in this County to the w’ork; W'e are sure, from a cursory glance at its contents, that it will meet their hearty approval.— Hastings Chronicle, Belleville. W A style ot teaching at once original and plain— just what the little folks w r ant. Canada receives a full share of attention, which is one of the beauties of the book. We hope it will come into general use. Mr. Lovell deserves all praise for his rapid introduction of Cana- dian National School Books in the home market, and it is the duty of every Canadian to encourage him in his efforts to do so .—Perth Courier .

La mode qui y est suivi pour initier les enfauts aux connaissances qu'il leur importe d’avoir sur la geographic est excellent; et a l’avantage d’in- culquer dans 1’esprit de Penfant des notions completes do geographic tout en Pamusant. L’auteur prend en queTque sorte Penfant par la main et lui fait parcourir les continents et les mers, l'arr&te dans chaque pays, lui fait remonter ou descendro tous les fleuves et les rivieres importantes et lui fait faire une promenade dans chacune des principalos villes. L’auteur trouve le moyen de captiver d’avantage l’attention fatiguee de son eieve par une anecdote amusante et instructive. — Courrier de St. Hyacinthe. We have no hesitation in stating that it is well adapted to accomplish the object aimed at, namely, to present in a pleasing, simple form, tho general outlines of the study so as to instruct and interest without confusing tho youthful mind.— Eastern Townships Gazette and Shefford County Advertiser. It has many novel features, some of which are de- cided improvements. The conversational manner in which the lessons are written, is likely to interest the beginner, and impress them on the memory. We hope the work may meet with a favorable reception from our teachers— Sherbrooke Gazette. It is a valuable addition to the useful scries of school books published by Mr. Lovell, and which should be generally introduced into the schools of the Province. — Stanstead Journal. Mr. Lovell is justly entitled to much praise for tho very enterprising manner in which he undertakes to supply our youths with books of the most compre- hensive and instructive description. We would advise the various boards of school trustees in North Welling- ton to recommend its use in their respective school sections. It should be placed in every child’s hand, in every school in Upper Canada, For simplicity and comprehensiveness it surpasses any work of a similar kind hitherto published in this Province.— British Con- stitution, Fergus. The work is one evidently of great care and labor, and we know of no better book on the subject of which it treats, so well calculated to assist tho youth of the country. The publications of Mr. Lovell are destined to effect a world of good in this country— many of them arc specially adapted to tho instruction of the youth of Canada— they all make us know and love Canada the better, and enable us more correctly to understand her true position (not in a geographical sense alone) on tho map of the world.— Whitby Chronicle. We can recommend it as being an excellent intro- duction to the General Geography already issued by the same publisher. The work is neatly got up and the arrangement of the matter well suited to beginners. Wo trust it may receive the patronage it deserves. — Guelph Advertiser. This work is written in a very familiar style and liberally illustrated with outline maps and woodcuts, and will bo found a very valuable contribution to our means ot instruction in schools. The character of the author of “ Easy Lessons,” who manifests an intimato knowledge of the wants of the young, is a guarantee that it is a book that will take hold of the youthful mind, and interest and delight it. and we have much pleasure, therefore, in bespeaking for it a speedy and genoral adoption as a juvenile class book in our schools m this section of the country.— Omemee Warder. We have carefully examined this work, and give it our unqualified approval. We should have pleasure in seeing Morse expelled from all our schools, and Mr. Hodgins’ correct and impartial geographical works occupying its place. — Guelph Herald. This work is intended as introductory to u Lovell's General Geography,” the most useful work ever pub- lished in Canada. It is so coaxing in its manner, and so winning in its illustrations, and tne singular attraction of its maps, pictures and details, that young persons, we doubt not, would sooner peruse it than any mere tale of amusement. It is very beautifully got up. — Galt Reporter. It is admirably adapted for those pupils beginning the study of geography. Having gone through the ** Easy Lessons,” “ Lovell's General Geography’' will be easily mastered, both of which works are creditable to Canadian enterprise. We bespeak from school teachers and trustees an examination of these works issued from Mr. Lovell’s press. — Dumfries Refoimer. A knowledge of geography is of tho greatest import* ance, and that system which most easily, efficiently, and cheaply gives us this is of the greatest value. Mr. Hodgins’ incomparable little book accomplishes all this, and is very interesting besides. Most artfully does he wile his young pupils into the practical object of geog- raphy, by his “ Conversational Trip over Land and Water.” In conclusion we would advise all teachers to procure this book immediately, if they have the interests of their pupils at heart. — York Herald, Rich- mond Hill. It is just the thing wanted at the present time, as it is designed as an introduction to “ Lovell's General Geography.” It must be of incalculable benefit to the youth of the country, and we trust no time will be lost in introducing it into our schools, as it is purely a Canadian work and gives proper prominence to Ca- nada and the other British possessions on this con- tinent, which Morse’s one-sided affair does not. — Grand River Sachem , Caledonia. It is an admirable work, and we heartily commend it to the attention of Canadian school-teachers. — South Simcoe Times. A new and valuable little work on Geography well adapted to tlio use of schools.— St. Mary's Argus. Well adapted as a rudimentary work for young geographers. It is designed as introductory to the “General Geography,” now universally adopted in the Canadian Schools. — Canadian Post, Lindsay. To obviate a sort of objection to the larger, and first Geography, so well known, Mr. Lovell has again had recourse to the talented aid of the Deputy Superinten- dent of Common Schools, and has now published a smaller, readier, and easier school book, more adapted for beginners, and in every way calculated to be an admirable aid to the teacher, and a necessary excellent guide and friend to the young scholar. Altogether it is a school book much needed, and it and the larger ono will soon be the only Geographies in our Common Schools.— Cayuga Sentinel. Tho plan of the work is certainly good, being well calculated to fix the names of places on the minds of the pupils. We hope to see this work extensively used in our schools, as it will be found of great advantage to young beginners — while it will exhibit a just appre- ciation of the author’s endeavors to furnish a purely Canadian scries of school books. — Waterloo Chronicle and Gazette. We sincerely hope Mr. Lovell will continue his laudable work in the interest of the schools in this country until every book used in them shall bear the impress of Canadian talent and enterprise. We very cheerfully commend this book to the attention of all parties concerned in the education of the young. Essex Journal. The “ Easy Lessons ” will be found to be of very- great use to young beginners, before commencing the study of the “ General Geography.” Tho illustrations are well executed, and will render the work particu- larly interesting to the junior pupils. It is not only a valuable work, but it is entirely Canadian, which should entitle it to be received with favor in our schools. — Markham Economist . An excellent and appropriate addition to our Cana- dian school books. On the whole it is just such a book as was required. — Woodstock Sentinel. We think Mr. Hodgins deserves great credit for tho admirable manner in which he has got up this work, while the publisher, Mr. Lovell, has fully sustained his long since acquired reputation as a first class book rinter. We hope to see this Geography immediately rought into general use in our schools.— Berlin Tele- graph. Just the book required by tho beginner in tho study of geography. Wo would recommend it to school teachers throughout the country.— Canadian States- man, Bowmanville. A more useful and interesting work could not be introduced into our schools, for the use of the junior classes.— Enterprise, Collingwood. 338 LOVELL’S SERIES OP SCHOOL BOOKS. [1864. B. N. A. We take pleasure in recording our opinion in favor of its general introduction into both public and private schools. We congratulate Mr. Lovell on the success which has attended his school books, and trust that he will go on as he has begun, so that in a short time Canada may have a series of school books equal to any country in the world, — books edited and printed in Canada, which, without seeking to push our country into undue prominence, will accord to it what few text-books do, its due and proper position.— Essex Record, Windsor. This work has evidently been prepared with very great care to adapt it to the capacities of the junior classes in schools, and to awaken in the minds of small children a desire to become acquainted with the sub- ject — Clinton Courier. We cannot too strongly recommend it to general notice as an excellent school book.— MerrickviUe Chro- nicle. We have examined the work thoroughly, and are of opinion that, within the same space, a larger amount of information on all questions appertaining to a study of the earth's surface, and its physical and political divisions, could not bo embodied.— British Standard, Perth. One of the simplest and best arranged little works of the kind we have ever met with. The youthful student of geography is led o i by such easy and inter- esting stages, that it cannot fail to become a necessaij book, with the younger classes more especially. We trust all our friends will provide their little ones with a copy of this work. — Waterloo Advertiser. We have no hesitation in recommending it to our readers. The work is got out in a very attractive form, and the engravings nave evidently been prepared with much care. — Huron Signal, Goderich. • The contents of this book are simple and compre- hensive, which are indispensable in a work of this kind, intended as it is for beginners in the study of Geography. The sketches in the little work before us are admirable, combining much ingenuity and taste with the use of easy and familiar language in the treatment of such subjects as the Earth and its appear- ance, Time, the Mariner’s Compass, &c. The trips are designed to connect in the mind of the pupil the objects and associations of travel with a geographical knowledge of the more important physical features of the principal countries in the world. Mr. Lovell is a publisher of note in Montreal, and his energy and per- severance is worthy of the warmest commendation, and his efforts to place good and reliable school books before the public are deserving of encouragement by the people of all the Provinces. These “ Easy Les- sons,” are well adapted to accomplish the object aimed at, namely, to present in a pleasing and simple form the general outlines of the study of geography, so as to instruct and interest without contusing the youthful mind. Simplicity and comprehensiveness are the dis- tinguishing characteristics of the book, and we have no doubt that it will prove highly useful in our com- mon schools throughout the city and country. This work was evidently prepared with much care to adapt it to the capacities of the junior classes in schools, and to awaken in the minds of small children a desire to become acquainted with the subject. For this purpose the subject is divided off into conversations or reading lessons, each of which is followed by an explanation, testing the scholar upon the matter he has just read, a method of proceeding which certainty seems calcu- lated to forward the pupil very materially with his studies, and to inculcate the good habit or attentive- ness to the reading lesson. In it religion is discreetly respected, and lovalty taught as one of its lessons. There is one excellent feature about this little geogra- phy, it is emphatically a British American book, and commences at home as it should do, and not on the old principle of learning the youth everything about foreign nations, while they are kept in ignorance of the country in which they live. It is a work of 80 pages, and is got up in a neat and compact style. — Morning Chronicle, Halifax, N. S. , It seems to us admirably suited to the capacity of young children. We prefer Lovell’s Geography to any American publications of the same kind that nave come under our notice.— I'resbyterian Witness, Halifax, N.S. We are happy to introduce to the notice of our readers “ Easy Lessons in General Geography.” We should be happy to see Lovell’s series ot school books introduced into general use in the schools of our Pro- vince.— Provincial Wesleyan, Halifax, N. S. Lovell’s Series op School Books. —The spirit of enlightened enterprise deserves public patronage, and we are happy to embrace an opportunity of notic- ing the above series of publications. Upwards of twenty books have already been brought out, several of which deserve special notice. We must, however, content ourselves by a word or two concerning the “ Easy Lessons in General Geography,” by Mr. Hod- gins, the Deputy Superintendent of Education for Upper Canada. It is a most attractive book of eighty pages, exactly suited for young beginners, and conveys just the information required, and in a style which must render the study a pleasant recreation. The con- versational trip through the several countries brought before the pupil, must fasten his attention upon them, and induce in him a wish to know more about them, The maps are clear, and distinctly marked and colored. Ihe wood-cuts of cities and animals are very neatly executed. We doubt not that teachers will adopt the book as soon as they have learned its excellencies. — Christian Messenger, Halifax, N. S. We, on a former occasion, expressed our high opin- ion ot “ Lovell’s General Geography.” We may now say that the later publication, — ” Easy Lessons in Gene- raHieography is equally commendable. >v e can also recommend, with every confidence, the several class books on Arithmetic, Natural Philosophy, ^ o n *i s *' I X English and Latin Grammar, Elocution, and Chronology. We really hope that these books will soon be introduced into every school in Nova Scotia, as well as throughout the remainder of British North America. — British Colonist, Halifax, K. S. Of the various elementary books on geographical science this appears to be in every way by far the most admirable. In addition to the style of the text being more adapted for children, the maps are plain and in- telligible to the most youthful mind. We have little doubt that this admirable work will become just as popular as the larger one- in these Provinces. — Repor- ter, Halifax, N. S. The plan is excellent, the text is admirably adapted to the youthful mind, and the engravings and illustra- tions are well executed. We took occasion to notice ” Lovell’s General Geography ” at the time of its pub- lication, and we may repeat the desire then ex- pressed that his series of school books should be gene- rally adopted in the Colonies. — Acadian Recorder, Halifax, N. S . We must candidly say that we have seldom seen so much instructive and highly interesting matter con- tained in so small a compass. It is not only a valuable school book, but may also be referred to with advan- tage by those of riper years. The maps and plates are both elegant. We wish the enterprising proprietor every success, both in this, and also in his numerous other publications for the advancement of education, which are specially got up to suit the wants of British North America; and we earnestly recommend teachers throughout the Province to adopt Mr. Lovell’s series for their text-looks.— Casket, Antigonish, A r . S. This little Book is intended for young scholars, for whom we consider it admirably fitted. We would re- commend the publications of Mr. Lovell to all who are interested in the advancement of education : and as his series of works are intended for the Provinces we trust the public will tender him that encouragement which his enterprise is so worthy of. — Eastern Chronicle, Pic- tou, N. S. The book, as its name indicates, is intended for young scholars, for which it is admirably fitted; and cannot fail to be welcomed as a valuable addition to the series of school books issued by the publisher. — Colonial Standard, Pictou, N. S. It cannot fail to be welcomed as a valuable addition to the series of school books issued by the publisher. We would recommend teachers and those interested in the advancement of education, to examine the series of works issued by Mr. Lovell.— Colonial Sta?idard f Pic - tou, jV, S. Almanac. 1864.] EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. 339 The style is easy, yet comprehensive, and the student is aided in his studies by means of maps and illustra- tions. We are all interested in the circulation of a work issued on our own soil, and by a man who has labored heartily to give a series of school books suit- ed to the Provinces, and we trust that this elementary work will be well patronized.— Evening Globe , St. John , N. B. It is an excellent little book of its kind, containing many maps, illustrations, diagrams, Sec.— Morning Freeman, SL John , jV. B. Comprehensiveness and simplicity of style, two cha- racteristics very necessary in a work of this kind, have been steadily kept in view. Very well executed maps, and various illustrations are scattered through its pages, and so arranged as to greatly assist the pupil in getting a correct idea of the text. It is peculiarly adapted for the. schools of this Province. — Morning News, St. John, N. B. Nothing equal to it has yet appeared in this Pro- vince. The questions and answers are plain and simple, at the same time that they convey a correct idea of what the pupil has to learn. Our school teachers ought to see this work at once; and we are quite sure they would immediately ask for its introduction.— Westmoreland Times , Moncton, N. B. We have received from the publisher — “ Easy Les- sons in General Geography,” with maps and illustra- tions, which is a capital book for beginners in this study. — Carleton Sentinel, Woodstock, N. B. From the Montreal Gazette.— Mr. Lovell’s school books are well known in Canada, and we are happy to see that out of Canada, they are also becoming known. The Jury of the International Exhibition held in Lon- don, in 1862, made the following report: “ The Colony “(Canada) produces many of its own school books, “ among which may be mentioned ‘ Lovell’s General +* Geography,’ a trustworthy and attractive manual, ** remarkable for its clear arrangement and for the 41 fulness Of its illustrative and statistical contents.” Here is a verdict which, from such a source, Mr. Lovell -must find highly gratifying. We notice that the Lon- don Educational Times, a liighly respectable authority, has reviewed a part of Mr. Lovell’s series of school books very favorably ; which, also, he must find grati- fying. As we believe our London contemporary has not a general circulation in Canada we will repeat the article at length. The judgment of its editor is valuable on such a subject : LOVELL’S CANADIAN SCHOOL SERIES. Lovell’s General Geography— National Arithmetic- Key to ditto— Elementary Arithmetic in Decimal Cur - rency — Natural Philosophy — Student's Note Book of Inorganic Chemistry— Classical English Spelling-Book — English Grammar Made Easy— British American Reader . These works form part of a series of school books, which have been specially prepared for the use of the public schools of Canada, and are now in course of publication by Mr. Lovell of Montreal. They are in- teresting, both on particular and on general grounds, not only as a specimen of the literature of Canada, but still more of the sort of teaching which is being estab- lished in that Colony. We have been much struck with the merit of some of the volumes of the series, which, as a whole, will bear favorable comparison with any works of a similar class published in this country. Of Mr. Ilodgins’ Geography we have already had occasion to speak with approval in this journal, on its first appearance two years ago. In the present edition (1862), the population returns have been brought down to I860; and the work now forms a very complete and comprehensive textbook of geographical science, con- taining an amount and variety of information, bearing on the geography of the various countries of the globe, such as we must candidly avow we have not before seen compressed within the same compass in any other work. Mr. Sangster’s Arithmetics appear to us to be models of arrangement and good teaching. The rules are in all cases illustrated by operations fully worked out, and explained step by step in such a way that the pupil can have no difficulty in mastering and compre- hending the rationale of every process employed. The “ Note-Book on Inorganic Chemistry” is intended as .an aide-memoire” for students and teachers, and com- prises the heads of a course of Lectures on Chemistry in a condensed form, so as to obviate the necessity of writing notes on the subject. The “ Natural Philoso- phy” embraces the elements of Statics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Dynamics, Hydrodynamics, the theory of Undulations, and the mechanical theory of Music. A very valuable feature is the introduction of a great variety of problems under each section, solved, for the most part, arithmetically, by which means the general principles of mechanical science are not only more clearly comprehended by the student, but more per- manently fixed in his mind. Mr. Vasey’s “ English Grammar” is entitled to the praise of clearness and simplicity— a merit possessed in a still higher degree by the “ Classical English Spelling Book,” in which the anomalies and difficulties of Eng- lish orthography are, by a judicious classification of the elementary sounds, reduced to a minimum. The “ British American Reader” of Mr. Borthwick, is a patriotic attempt to construct a Reading Book of exclusively home manufacture. The extracts are entirely either from the works of native authors, or authors who have written on America. Lovell’s Series of School Books.— We hope that these works will, at no distant date, be in general use. We have already borne testimony to the excellence of Mr. Lovell’s publications, and are confident that a dis- criminating public will fully bear out our encomiums, and properly appreciate the praiseworthy enterprise of the leading British American publisher. The heads of educational institutions should examine carefully Mr. Lovell’s series of school books; for we feel assured, if they do so, they cannot fail to adopt them in their schools. We believe, too, that the Superin- tendent of Education should feel it his duty to encou- rage their adoption generally throughout this Pro- vince.— Reporter, Halifax, N. S. Mr. Lovell’s efforts to supply our Colonial Schools with a series of text-books specially suited to our requirements we consider worthy of the highest com- mendation. We have examined the various works of the series, and have come to the conclusion that they are better adapted to our wants than the American or British books now in our schools, and that the Supe- rintendent of Education and teachers would do well to adopt Lovell’s series in toto, and thereby encourage Colonial pens and a Colonial publisher.— Eastern Chro- nicle, Pictou, N. S. We are strongly of opinion that the efforts of a pub- lisher who specially prepares a series of books for Colonial use should be encouraged, and would there- fore suggest that teachers generally should examine the merits of these text-books, and if found suitable, to countenance and urge their speedy adoption.— Colonial Standard, Pictou, N. S. The merit of these books is now universally acknow ledged throughout the Provinces ; and should therefore merit the attention and patronage of all those who desire to see the children of the Province acquire a correct knowledge of geography, without at the same time imbibing those erroneous ideas inculcated in many of the books now in use. — Morning Telegraph, St. John, N. B. In these books we have just what was long required, and we trust that now, while our people are moving toward colonial unity, the government will take some steps to encourage school books that are written in and suited for British America. The movement deserves to be encouraged by our people, and Mr. Lovell, of Montreal, deserves our gratitude. The scholar will learn out of these what he could never learn out of an English work, and will have information in regard to America without hearing anything to prejudice him against the fatherland. — Morning Post, St. John, A. B. They are prepared from a British, and not from an American, stand-point, and that is a great advantage . They inculcate loyalty to the Queen, while discoursing in an interesting manner on her wide-spread dominions. We have conversational trips around the boundaries of each of these provinces, and it certainly will not be the fault of the editor if very clear conceptions are not imparted. In the simplicity and excellence of its plan and method, and in the number and variety of its illus- trations, it has strong claims on the attention of the teachers and pupils of the British North American Colonies.— Colonial Presbyterian, St. John, N.

Montreal, December, 1863. JOHN LOVELL, Publisher. Almanac. 1864. EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. 841 EXTRACT FROM “EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY.” a HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA. Conversational Sketch of the Queen. 1. All good and loyal little boys and girls will no doubt like to hear something about our great and noble Queen. When she is addressed in writing by any of her subjects she is styled Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria; but she is generally called the Queen. 2. The Queen lives in England, where she has several beautiful palaces, in different parts of the country. In London several wise and distin- guished men assist her in governing her great empire. >3. Among the Queen’s forefathers were the celebrated Alfred the Great, and William the Conqueror. The King who reigned before our Queen was her uncle, William IV. When he died, she was made Queen of the whole British empire (including all the British colonies). 4. The Queen had an excellent mother, who early taught her to love God. When her uncle died, and she was told that she was a Queen, her first act was to kneel down and pray to God for his divine guidance. 5. The Queen has ever since ruled the empire so wisely, that she is greatly beloved by all her subjects. She has a number of children, who, from their high rank, are called Princes and Princesses. Her eldest son, the Prince of W ales, visited the British North American Provinces in 1860, and was welcomed with great love and af- fection by all classes of the people. 6. In 1861 the Queen suffered a great loss in the death of her noble husband, Prince Albert the good. All her subjects mourned with her, and from every part of her vast empire she has received the warmest sympathy. 7. Our duty to the Queen is to love her, and to obey the laws of our country. The Bible says, “ fear God and honour the King,” and “ obey them that have the rule over you.” With one heart and voice, our prayers for her should con- tinually ascend; and in the words of our Na- tional Anthem, we should all heartily sing : “ God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen ! God save the Queen ! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us ! God save the Queen ! LOVELL’S SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS NATIONAL ARITHMETIC, IN THEORY AND PRACTICE; DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF CANADIAN SCHOOLS* BY JOHN HERBERT SANGSTER, ESQ., Mathematical Master and Lecturer on Chemistry and Natural Philosophy in the Normal School for Upper Canada. JOHN LOVELL, Publisher. Opinions of the Press on the National Arithmetic. From the brief examination we have been enabled to give it, we are inclined to think it will give a more thorough knowledge of the science of numbers than any other Arithmetic we remember, and wo hope Canadian teachers will give it a trial. We would re- commend it particularly to any Students of Arith- metic who are prosecuting their studies without the aid of a master. It seems to us peculiarly suited for them. — Montreal Gazette. It is the production of one of our most useful and energetic teachers, and it shows a thorough knowledge of the subject and adaptation to the wants of the country. We recommend our Board of School Trustees, both Grammar and Common, to introduce it into our city schools as soon as practicable.— Ottawa Citizen. We think it is admirably adapted for, and should be speedily introduced into, all our Canadian schools. — Carleton Place Herald. This Arithmetic is not only infinitely better adapted to the wants of this country than any other in use, but the simplicity of its rules and the practical illustrations of the theory and practice of arithmetic in the many original problems, give it a stamp of nationality highly creditable to the author. — Markham Economist. We hail with much satisfaction the appearance of this work, rendered absolutely necessary by the recent introduction of the Decimal Currency into Canada. From what fame says of Mr. Sangster’s capabilities as an excellent teacher and an accomplished mathemati- cian, the volume before us has not exceeded our ex- pectations, though it surpasses every treatise on the subject which has yet come into our hands in three essential requisites, namely; Methodical arrangement of matter; conciseness yet comprehensiveness in the demonstration of the various rules ; and the immense practical utility which it possesses by the number of examination questions given at the end of each section to test the knowledge of the student as he progresses. — Brant County Herald. Mr. Sangster’s Book is the best going— has no com- petitor — cannot be matched — positively overflowing with matter. We highly recommend it. No book we have yet seen on this indispensable branch of knowl- edge can compare with it .—Cayuga Sentinel. THE CLASSICAL ENGLISH SPELLING BOOK; In which the hitherto difficult art of Orthography is rendered easy and pleasant, and speedily acquired. COMPRISING ALL THE IMPORTANT ROOT-WORDS FROM THE ANGLO-SAXON, THE LATIN AND THE GREEK : And Several Hundred Exercises in Derivation and Verbal Distinctions. BY GEORGE G. VASEY. The following is from an eminent Professor in Montreal :— 1 have looked carefully over the “ Classical English Spelling Book, by George G. Vasey,” and can speak in the highest terms of the plan upon which it is con- structed. To teachers it will be invaluable; and even to those who are not directly engaged in teaching, it will be acceptable on account of the information connected w ith the origin of the words of our language which it contains. I shall do all I can to recommend it, and trust it may have a wide circulation. WM. HICKS, Professor, McGill Normal School. Opinions of the Press on the Classical English Spelling Book. It is destined to become the spelling book of the province. There is no school book, we believe, extant, which in so little compass contains so great an amount of information.— Quebec Gazette. This is another of Mr. Lovell’s Series of School Books, and we think a very good one. It comes recommend- ed very highly by Professor Hicks, whose long expe- rience as a teacher makes his recommendation of great value.— Montreal Gazette. This is one of Lovell’s Series of School Books, des- tined, we hope, to replace the inferior elementary works now used in Canadian schools.— Commercial Advertiser, Montreal. A most valuable class-book, especially for the instruc- tion of advanced classes in English. It is much more than a spelling-book, being a thorough instructor in etymology as well as orthography.— Montreal Tran- script. The Spelling Book is really an excellent thing of the kind, with fresh ideas and new modes of obtaining and retaining information. For the boy or girl wishing to know something of his or her native tongue, it is inval- uable. — Daily British Whig, Kingston. After carefully examining this little book, we feel justified in speaking in the nighest terms of it, and in earnestly recommending it to the atention of our School Superintendents and School Boards .—Herald and Advertiser Kingston. This is a skilfully compiled spelling book — well cal- culated to lead to a thorough knowledge of the con- struction of our language. — Peterborough Review. It contains a most admirable analysis of the English language, presenting the various Saxon, Latin, and Greek roots, and their derivatives, in a manner which sheds the clearest and most abundant light on the con- struction of our own rich, flexible, comprehensive, and expressive mother-tongue. It ought to be in the hands of every common school teacher in the Province.— Cobourg Star. It contains much information, and gives the English scholar a clear insight into the derivation of words. We hope it may be extensively purchased . — Dumfries Reformer. We can cordially recommend it as an excellent book, and think it will be extensively used w r here a uniformity of text-books is desired.— Brochoille Recorder. W r e hope we shall see it speedily introduced into our schools, as it is just the work now wanted, and will save teachers and scholars a vast amount of labor.— Grand River Sachem. This is a very useful little work, and will be peculi- arly acceptable to school teachers; while all will find in it a fund of information lhat will prove very valu- able. — British Standard, Perth. This is a book which ought to be in every school, as it is well fitted to succeed the Spelling-Book Super- seded. — Stratford Beacon. almanac. 1864.] EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. 84S It is a long promised and long needed work, and we recommend it to the attention of the teachers through- out the country.— Hastings Chronicle, Belleville. We have little doubt that this is an excellent work. —Norfolk Messenger . It is one of the most perfect we have seen. — Wood- stock Times . When we first took up the little unpretending work, we considered it merely as a common school book, containing, perhaps, some improvements or additions in Orthography suitable for children; but on farther examination, we were agreeably disappointed to find it right well worthy the patronage of the more ad- vanced scholars. — Kemptville Progressionist. From a glance at its various headings, we are favor- ably impressed with the work. — Cornwall Freeholder. The above is one of Lovell's Series of School Books, and contains much that is of importance to the “ rising generation." — Richmond County Advocate. With its intrinsic merits we are most favorably im- pressed. — Stanstead Journal. We have this excellent spelling book. It is a work which has only to be seen to be appreciated by those interested in the education of the rising generation. — Cayuga Sentinel. This is the title of another excellent school book, which is destined to supersede all others of the kind now in use. The arrangement is admirable. It begins at the beginning and ends at the end, from words com- posed of two letters to the most difficult in the lan- guage, all arranged in natural order and by regular gradations. We can confidently recommend it to the attention of teachers and trustees, satisfied that it can- not fail to meet with general approbation. — Perth Courier. It is an excellently got up work, and ought to be in- troduced into all Canadian schools .-Guelph Advertiser. We have just received the " Classical English Spell- ing Book,” and " English Grammar Made Easy." They are two small works by George G. Yasey, pub- lished by John Lovell, Montreal, and well worthy the notice of both parents and teachers. There is a simplicity connected with these works which makes them adapted for the beginner, and, at the same time, they can bo used by those farther advanced, with the greatest surety that they will benefit by their contents. We wish them success. — Dunnville Independent. ENGLISH GRAMMAR MADE EASY, AND ADAPTED TO THE CAPACITY OF CHILDREN. In which English Accidence and Etymological Parsing are rendered simple and attractive. BY GEORGE G. YASEY. Opinions of the Press on English Grammar Made Easy. Well adapted for the use of schools, and students of the English language. — True Witness, Montreal. It is designed for the use of the youngest children, and appears to be very ingeniously and successfully compiled.— Peterborough Review. This little class-book seems to be just the thing re- quired for the instruction of children, in the principles of English grammar. We think Mr. Vasey has suc- ceeded in producing a work, which, if introduced as a class-book in our schools, will vastly facilitate the study of grammar. We recommend the book to the favorable notice of teachers and others interested. — Brantford Expositor. It is admirably adapted to the capacity of children. The work before us is an easy and very interesting elementary introduction to English Grammar,— Cayu- ga Sentinel. The little book we are now noticing is the simplest of any we have yet seen. If children of tender years can spare any time from ordinary studies to attend to the grammar of their language, this text-book is just the one for their purpose.— Brockville Recorder. It is of great importance that an elementary book on English Grammar, at once easy and interesting, should be placed in the hands of our younger pupils, and we are of opinion that this grammar exactly supplies what is wanted. We earnestly recommend it to the atten- tion of parents and school teachers.— Herald and Ad- vertiser, Kingston. We think it admirably adapted to its purpose— the initiation of children of tender age to the mysteries of the construction of their own language. — Cobourg Star. We should like to see it introduced into all our schools, and would recommend teachers generally to procure a copy and examine for themselves.— Perth Courier. We have no doubt this little work will soon be a favourite in the schools. — British Standard, Perth. This is a highly desirable elementary work on Eng- lish Grammar, adapted to the capacity of children. — Hastings Chronicle, Belleville . As a first book, we say, unhesitatingly, that it is vastly superior to any with which wo are acquainted. Author’s plan is a new one, and evidently the result of much care ; and we see no reason why teachers, in pursuing his method, should fail in making the subject interesting. — Waterloo Advertiser. The plan upon which this little work is constructed is simple and novel, and we think when its merits become known it will come into general us Belleville Intelli- gencer. It is a valuable work for children- every subject treated of being couched in plain, simple language, such as young minds can easily comprehend. — Cornwall Freeholder. The above is the title of another of Lovell's Series of School Books, and being in a plain, easy style, is admir- ably adapted to those commencing the study of gram- mar. — Boivmanville Statesman. It is intended for small children and beginners : and as far as we can judge, it is admirably written and ar- ranged for that purpose.— Gananoque Reporter. From the cursory perusal which we have been able to give, we are induced to believe that Mr. Vasey has suc- ceeded in giving the public a very valuable elementary work. — Sherbrooke Gazette. OUTLINES OF CHRONOLOGY, FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS, EDITED BY MRS. GORDON. I have carefhlly looked through your "Outlines of Chronology,” and I have no doubt that its usefulness will soon be acknowledged generally, and especially by those engaged in teaching. It is quite a multum in parvo. I shall have much pleasure in recommending it. J. HELLMUTH, D.D. Opinions of the Press on Outlines of Chronology. This is an exceedingly clever little work, in which its accomplished author gives a clear and lucid explana- tion of the principles of the science of chronology. We have no hesitation in recommending it.— Montreal Herald. We think it may be very advantageously introduced into all our schools. It is clear, concise, and well I arranged.— Montreal Gazette. 344 lovell’s series op school books. [1864. b. n. a.

We can heartily recommend this book as the best we have yet seen for use in the British American Co- lonies. — Montreal Gazette. A very valuable work, and one much required. The British American Reader should find a place in every Canadian school.— Commercial Advertiser, Montreal. The selection of pieces seems well made, with much tact and sound discretion. There is nothing with which any can bo offended, much from which ah may derive both profit and amusement.^- True Witness, Montreal. The selection of pieces in this book is, we think, made with judgment, and tho whole will convey, in a very pleasing manner, much information about America generally. — Montreal Witness. Mr. Borthwick has so ably accomplished the task ho undertook, that very many readers, who have long passed the school-boy era of life, will find his work a most useful book.— Montreal Transcript. This is the very book for our Canadian youth. Wo wish Mr. Borthwick every possible success. — British Whig, Kingston. We have no hesitation in recommending its general use, and doubt not it will secure ready acceptance in all British America,— Bytown Gazette. From its pages we receive much valuable informa- tion, historical and statistical, in reference to our own country; and its general selections arc all that could be desired in a Reading Book for our public schools. — Peterborough Review. We trust to see this book take the place of many of the foreign works now in use throughout the country. -*• Eastern Townships Gazette, Granby. We have the utmost reason to be proud of its se- lections: it is, indeed, almost a miracle of books for the young. — Richmond County Advocate. This work is well done, and we trust that the attempt to nationalize our school books will meet with abun» dant success.— Stanstead Journal. Lovell’8 Series of School Books.— Mr. Lovell is one of the most enterprising and spirited of Cana- dian publishers in the department of works of utility. We have lately received several numbers of his series of school books on spelling, reading, and grammar in which we think he fully bears out the object which ho professes to have in view, viz. , rendering these branches of education simple and attractive. The books are well E rinted, and cheaply though firmly bound so as to ring them within the reach of all persons who have children to send to school.— London Prototype. The trustees of the Melbourne Female Seminary have introduced an entire uniformity of the British American series of school books now being published by Mr. Lovell of Montreal. This is a good movement in the right direction. It will avoid all the evils of a multiplicity oftext-book8 inthenewinstitution which has commenced under very favorable auspices. It will ultimately be a great saving of expense to parents, who have much just cause of complaint on account of the frequent changes and ill-adaptedness of many of tho books used in our schools. These excellent homo publications ought to be introduced into the schools generally throughout the province, for many very ob- vious reasons ; and especially because they are much better adapted to Canadian schools than either Ameri- can or even British works generally ar c.— Richmond County Advertiser. NATIONALITY OF SCHOOL BOOKS. Anticipating somewhat the action of our long-pro- mised Council of Public Instruction, upon whose suc- cess seems to depend the subject of reform in our schools, it may not however be impertinent or profit- less lor us to notice some of those radical deficiencies that exist in our School system. The most obvious and the chief defect in the Com- mon and the Higher Schools of the Eastern Townships is the great want of nationality in the text-books which they use. They are anything and everything but Canadian. In our Readers we find speeches of Patrick Henry, Webster and Clay, glowing descriptions of our Southern neighbors, notices of their prominent men, and pictures of their natural scenery and wonders of art; but what of Canada?— what of her worthies, her institutions, her progress, and her beauties of nature? Absolutely nothing. Our Geographies are of the same nature; full particulars relative to every State and Territory in tho Union — usually occupying a third or more of the book— and the whole of the British Pro- vinces in North America hastily and carelessly summed up in the compass of four or five pages. Our Histories, and many other books, are as faulty as those just named. Now, we do not pretend tosav that a child cannot as well be taught the art of reading from a book made up of foreign miscellany as from any other; but what we do say is that a book adapted to Canadian scholars would not be used in the United States, nor would a book intended for Republicans bo used in any of the monarchies of Europe. In all countries wherein a complete system of Education has been developed, the nationality of a text-book is one of its greatest elements of success. Book-makers, book-sellers and book-buyers equally well understand this. Would that it were as well understood in Canada. Now, what is the tendency of this system? Is it not— either by presenting to the minds of our youth foreign models of excellence.or byexcluding them from that which is most essential for them to know— to make them foreign in their tastes and predilections, and admirers of everything abroad— and, we might add, despisers of everything at home? If we would see those that are to come after us, and to inherit our birthrights, worthy to enjoy, and fitted to promote that high destiny which awaits our country, we must make them patriots in their tender years. Instruction by the home fireside is not alone sufficient. We mu4 put in their hands Canadian books, to be read and studied at school. When this is done, prosperity is in store for us and our country. — Watreloo Advertiser .

The Association has two distinct Schemes of Assurance, which parties assuring have the opportunity of joining. CLASS A.— (Ordinary Assurances.) Annual Distribution of Profits in Cash. Policy-Holders free from Risks of Partnership, and Sums Assured guaranteed. Rates of Premium moderate, and calculated so as to place all ages on a footing of perfect equality^ Most Liberal Conditions as to limits of residence, &c. Indisputability of Policies after five years. Sums Assured are payable in cases of death during the days of grace, although the premiums be not paid. Certificates of Exemption from all restrictions on residence , $-c., granted after five years. No Expense to parties assuring but the premium. CLASS B.— (Unconditional Assurances.) Omission to pay a premium by oversight does not affect the Assurance, and after a time payment may be intentionally postponed for a year. The Assured is not subject to any restriction as to occupation or residence ; and No Extra Premiums can ever be payable. The Policy-Holder, on surrendering his Policy, can withdraw an unusually large proportion of his payments, (after five years, one-half of the premiums paid,) or in most cases, take a paid- up policy, for double the amount ; or he may withdraw the same sum as a loan on the policy^ Onb-ThBid of the Premiums for the first five years may remain unpaid, without interest. Profits divided by adding to the amount of the sum assured, or the Policy-holder may exchange the bonus addition for a cash payment, or a reduction of the premium. HEAD OFFICE FOR CANADA.

TO EMPLOYERS The system of this Society offers great advantages, inasmuch as it not only se- cures to them the prompt payment of any loss so sustained ; but affords them the means of avoiding the unpleasantness, and to a great extent uncertainty, at- tendant upon Private Suretyships ; and as the Society, for its own safety, takes all steps to ascertain the character of an applicant for employment, Employers are relieved of that necessarily delicate and troublesome task, and are assured by the fact of the Society’s consenting to grant a guarantee, that the Candidate for such employ has been found, as far as it is possible to be known, fully worthy of their confidence and trust. TO EMPLOYEES, It obviates the unpleasant necessity of resorting to their personal friends, and enables them by payment of a small annual premium, to be their own independ- ent sureties — with the satisfaction of feeling that the security they give is of the most substantial nature, and at the same time, a convincing proof of their well-established trustworthiness. TO BONDSMEN, It affords, in approved cases, the means of immediate release from the liability under which they have placed themselves : every facility being given to substitute the Society’s Bonds for existing suretyships — no expense beyond the actual pre- mium being incurred. This system of Guarantee has been thoroughly tested, and its advantages largely made use of by the Mercantile and Commercial Communities in Great Britain, and most of her dependencies — the various departments of Government, in addition, being authorized by special Act of the Imperial Parliament to accept the Bonds of this Society only. The Rates of Premium in all cases are commensurate with the risk incurred. LIFE DEPARTMENT. This Society, from its peculiar constitution and the large amount of its in- come, from both premiums and invested Capital, is in a position to transact Life Assurance business upon terms unusually favorable to Assurers. The following are the more prominent features in this Department : — All Life Policies issued upon the faithful representations of Assurers, are indisputable. Policies, on which five full premiums have been paid, are purchased by the Society. »■ THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY. * On Policies for over £200 stg. for the whole of Life, one half the premiums for first five years may remain unpaid at interest at five per cent, per annum. Three-fourths of the entire profits of the Society are divisible amongst the Life Policy Holders on the Profit scale of Premiums. In consequence of the profits of the Guarantee Department, (which shew a large annual increase,) already more than paying the whole expenses of. the management of the Society, Life Policy-holders are placed in a peculiarly advantageous position in respect of Bonuses, seeing that in addition to the unen- cumbered profits of the Life Business, they participate in the continually in- creasing profits of the Guarantee also. Thus persons assuring with this Society, not only pay a very low rate of premium for Life Assurance, but get in addition to three-fourths of the Life profits, three-fourths of the Guarantee also — the two together being equal to, if not more than the whole of the profits of the Life Business. All the advantages of a Mutual Society are thus at once obtained, without incurring the liabilities attendant thereon ; and the Assurers have, in addition, the security of a large Subscribed Capital , the prudent employment of which gives a still further ratio of increase to profits. Thirty days’ grace is allowed for payment of Premiums, and in the event of death before the expiry of such grace, the claim will be paid, less amount of premium due. Policies lapsed by non-payment of premiums may be subsequently renewed by paying the premium, and a small fine, on the production of satisfactory evidence of the good state of the life assured. All claims, Life or Guarantee, paid without reference to London. Table of Rates for Assurance of £100 Stg.

Stg. ($10.40) annually, can secure £100 Stg. ($486.67) whenever death may happen, together with such addition as may have been appro- priated to the Policy by wav of Bonus. Premiums are also made payable Quarterly. ft THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Assurances are also granted upon Joint Lives; for Short Terms ; or for sums payable at a Stated Age. SPECIAL NOTICE. — The next investigation of the affairs of the Society with refer- ence to the Division of Profits, will fall to be made at the close of the year 1865, and all persons Assuring during the present year on the “ With Profits ” Table, will then be entitled to Two Years’ Bonus, which may either be received in cash, appropriated to the reduction of Premiums, or added to the amount Assured. The Combination of Life Assurance with Guarantee, which is a feature introduced by this Society , affords the following important advantages to the Assured : — When the Life and Guarantee Policies are for an equal amount, (the rate of Premium of the Guarantee not exceeding one and a half per oent.,) an abatement equal to half of the Guarantee Premium is made in the Life Premium. When the Life Assurance is for double the amount of the Guarantee, (the rate being as before stated,) the whole of the Guarantee Premium is appro- priated to the Life Premium. For example, a Guarantee Policy is required by A. B. for £500 Stg., and the Premium eing one and a half per cent, for the character of the risk undertaken, he pays £7 10s Stg. a year. He Assures his Life for an equal amount, and the age being, say 35 next birthday, the Annual Premium, with Profits as per Table of Rates annexed, is £2 15s Stg. per cent., equal to £13 15s. Stg., for £500 Stg. ; but an abatement equal to half of the Guarantee Premium being allowed, the Life Premium is reduced to £10 Stg., thus presenting the advantage of an immediate reduction of the Premium equal to 27 per cent., or.a prospective Bonus of £135 Stg. on the amount assured. Or, suppose the Guarantee to be as above stated, £500 Stg., and the Life Assu- rance £1,000 Stg., the yearly Life Premium, as above specified, would be £27 10s Stg • but the whole of the Guarantee Premium (£7 10 S . Stg.) being allowed, the Life Premium is reduced to £20 Stg., being equal to 26 per cent, immediate reduction of premium or a prospective addition of more than £230 Stg. to the sum assured. In other cases than those specified, the reductions are matter of special ar- rangement, and depend on the class of risk, rate of premium, and the relative proportion of Life and Guarantee. The foregoing benefits are available by existing Guarantee Policy holders , who may be disposed to effect a Life Assurance, or by Life Policy holders who may hereafter require Guarantee . 1 rospectuses, Forms of Proposals, and all information may be obtained from the Canada Head Office, Montreal.
