and snow which succeeds. They are represented as having been an industrious, virtuous, contented and happy people, before the late troubles, exhibiting traits of courtesy worthy of ancestors of noble blood. The Catholic Clergy took part against the rebellion, and, it is said, have thereby lost some of their influence with the habitans. The Encyclopædia Americana sets down nine-tenths of the population as Catholic. It is not yet a century since the English rule commenced -at that time, there were but about 70,000 inhabitants in all Canada. Quebec was founded in 1608. Wolfe fought on the plains of Abraham in 1759, and the province was confirmed to the English by the treaty of 1763, making a period of one hundred and fifty years from its first settlement that the French government prevailed, excepting a short period that the English had possession of Quebec in 1629.— During this period there was more than one unsuccessful attempt made by the English and provincials to conquer the country. The troops employed in these expeditions were generally from New England, and we are informed that a prejudice still prevails against "Bostonians." 鹦 gion and Laws and language and the indulgence with which they were treated for so many years after the conquest, make the French population more restive under British restraints. Among the laws and customs still in force we find many "founded principally on the jurisprudence of the parliament of Paris, as it stood in 1763, the edicts of the French Kings, and the Roman Civil Law." Trial by jury prevails in criminal cases only, and but few civil cases are tried in this manner. The proceedings in their courts are conducted both in French and English-it is common to have one half the jury English the other half French, and for one advocate to address them in French and another in English. One of their great objections to the Union Bill, is, that it extends and enforces the right of trial by jury in civil cases. A distinguished lawyer of Montreal inquired with emphasis, the other day, how it was possible we got along with the trial of titles to land, before a jury!" Their lands are generally held by Feudal tenure under large proprietors termed seigneurs, to whom they were originally granted under this tenure, by the French King. Its leading features as it now prevails, are the payment of a sinall at nual rent, and a per centage on the advance in case of sale. Notwithstanding every facility and encouragement for the conversion of these tenures into those of free and common soccage, the Canadians to be one cause why no improvement takes place and the price of land is kept down. No provincial Legislature could ever be induced to pa-s Registry Laws, and it is difficult if not impossible to ascertain the true state of Titles. It required the omnipotence of a British parliament to overcome their objection to such Laws; and stil!, the French Cana vision of the Union Bill as against the more unjust enactments of arbitrary power. Upper Canada was not then known as a distinct province. It was a mere district attached to Quebec, until after the war of our revolution; when, in 1781, a great many loyalists and disbanded soldiers of the British army were located here un-adhere pertinaciously to their old forms. It is said indeed der favorable grants from the government. It is even said that some who had not been so very loyal, affected the merit of toryism to avail themselves of the kindness of the mother country to the persecuted refugees. Until 1791, the government of all Canada was in the hands of a governor and council appointed by the Crown. In that year a constitutional government was provided by act of Parliament, fordian inveighs with equal earnestness against this wise proeach province. It was enacted that in Lower Canada there should be a Legislative Council appointed for life, by the Crown, consisting of 34 members, and a House of Assembly elected for four years by forty-shilling freeholders of the counties and the five pound freeholders or the ten-pound annual renters for the towns, composed of 88 members. In Upper Canada the chief Executive officer was styled Licutenant Governor; the Legislative Council consisted of 17 members, and the House of Assembly of 50. The Governor had a right of veto upon the acts of the two houses-in certain cases the royal sanction was required; and in some, even that of the imperial parliament. It was provided by another act that no taxes should be imposed on the Colonies, but for the regulation of trade, and that they shall be applied for the use of the province, in such manner as shall be directed by any laws made by his majesty," by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and House of Assembly. Hence one of the principal causes of dissatisfaction. This form of government after existing for near half a century, is now at an end-having been first nullified", by rebellion, and since repealed by the high behest of the home government. What is to be the result of the Union Bill, no one can tell. Upper Canada is emphatically a young giant, having quadrupled her population since our late war. A single fact illustrates the ever conflicting policy of the imperial with that of the provincial parliament-the interest of the mother country contrasted with that of her provinces. 66 The English government have expended more than a million upon the Rideau Canal, a circuitous route connecting Montreal with Kingston by way of the Ottawa river.This is regarded as almost exclusively a military work, constructed mainly with a view to strengthen the power of the government over its Colonies, and its hold upon them in the event of war with the United States. Less than half the money thus expended-nay, it is even said one-fourth, would have made a perfect navigation round the rapids of the St. Lawrence, brought the two points much nearer to each other, and been far more advantageous to the growth and prosperity of the country. So deeply did the inhabitants feel this, that they had actually undertaken and entered with spirit upon the execution of this rival work, by aid of provincial resources alone, when their late troubles brought every thing to a stand. The difficulties in the Lower province are far more intricate and complicated. The very concessions to their reli England now holds Canada by dint of military occupation. The late rebellion has cost her some millions. Go where you will on the great highways, and in the cities and villages of Canada, and you meet with fortifications and barracks and the Queen's troops; there are the Coldstream Guards, and the Grenadier Guards, and the Scotch Highlanders, and regiments of less distinguished fame and less, distinguished cap and plume, numbering 17,000 men. It must le said of the soldiers, that they are generally fine looking men; and of the officers, that many of them are accomplished gentlemen. Nothing can exceed their dress and drill and discipline and music.-If you approach by the late rebellious Sorel, or from any "sympathizing" quarter, you must obtain passports, tell your age, give the color of your lady's eyes, and place the keys of your trunks in the hands of her sovereign majesty Queen Victoria's officer of the customs. Nathless, it should be added, this is all done with the least possible trouble to you, without charge, without detention, and without actual search; as, well becomes the officers of a gracious Queen to receive her neighbors on a friendly visit to British America. That part of Upper Canada composing a species of triangle, "two sides of which are formed by the Lakes Ontario Erie, and Huron, with their connecting channels, about 570 miles in length, and 50 to 80 in breadth," is said by high authority," to be one of the most fruitful on the earth, and capable of supporting a most numerous population. There is now an uninterrupted inland navigation from the head of Lake Superior to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, some 2000 miles; besides that of the Ottawa extending near 1000 miles, broken, however, by rapids. As to the character and importance of the timber trade alone, the same authority says "The timber is obtained from the immense forests upon the shores of the great interior lakes. The trees when felled, are put together into immense rafts, which often cover acres, and on these are raised small huts, the residence of the woodmen and their families. Ten or twelve square sails are set up, and the rafts are navigated to Quebec, through many dangers, in which nearly a third of them are said to be destroyed. Those which survive are ranged along the river in front of Quebec, forming a line four or five miles in extent." The capital invested in this trade is estimated at £1,250, 000 sterling-the export of 1831 exceeded £1,000,000, in value, and the ships employed were over 1000. At this crisis of Canadian affairs it is worth while perhaps to look a little more closely into the history, statistics and politics of our neighbor than we of" the States" have been in the habit of doing. Not in the spirit of a prying curiosity; much less that of espionage, to interfere with their domestic troubles, stir up false sympathy, or provoke aggression great indeed has been the mistake of our citizens upon the New York frontier, and deep is the debt of gratitude we owe to General Scott for rescuing us from the brink of war; but, as a leaf in the volume of human nature containing an interesting passage of history-the history of a great and growing country, and of an interesting and peculiar people. It is in this spirit-under a sense of obligation to men of all parties and professions during a recent visit, and without unkind recollections towards any, that this hasty sketch has been attempted. The Lake Erie Trade. There are now afloat on Lake Erie some fifty three steamboats, with an aggregate of 15,000 tons. In size, model, speed, finish and general arrangement, these vessels will vie with any in this or any other country, and the aggregate number of casualties attended with loss of life, is decidedly less than in any other section in the United States. The original cost of these vessels varies from 15,000 to 120,000 dollars each. A boat of the largest class requires the services of forty men to manage her, whose salaries are as follows: During this period a steamboat will make four trips to Detroit and back, and comsume about 100 cords of wood at each trip, at a cost of about $1 85 per cord. She will also consume about 35 gallons of oil each trip, with an outlay of $10 for washing, besides other trifling contingencies. Attached to the lake consolidation there are thirty-seven boats, comprising the whole of the large class now afloat on Lake Erie. About 20 of those have done all the business this season-the balance were hauled off, and their crews discharged. Since the opening of the navigation, the Star, and within a few weeks past the Harrison, new and of medium dimensions, have been running without regard to the rules of the lake consolidation. A third boat is also afloat and in the hands of the artizans, who have orders to finish her with all possible despatch, which will run in connexion with the above boats. son to Detroit and back, she consumed 1,130 cords of wood, at a cost of $1 75 per cord, amounting to within a fraction of $2000 for fuel. When running the rate of insurance is 6 or 7 per cent. and when lying up, during the winter, only one per cent. is charged. Sometimes, however, in very boisterous weather near the close of the navigation, two per cent. a month is charged for policies. These policies are rarely taken out by heavy owners; it is done mostly by persons not engaged in the forwarding business, who own a few shares of stock, and are solicitous for its safety. The great bulk of steamboat stock is uninsured. One of the most prominent features which characterize our lake craft is the superb style in which they are painted. This is a feature belonging exclusively to Lake Erie. Every traveller that has passed between this port and points West, will acknowledge and award to the artists of Buffalo no measured commendation for the manner in which they have performed their labor. A sum as large as $4,000 has been paid for the painting, glazing and ornamenting a single steamboat.-Buffalo Com. Edvocate. Indian Gratitude. Not many years after the county of Litchfield Conn. began to be settled by the English, a stranger Indian came one day into an Inn in the town of Litchfield in the dusk of the evening, and requested the hostess to furnish him with some drink and supper. At the same time he observed, that he could pay for neither, as he had no success in hunting; but promised payment as soon as he should meet with better fortune. The hostess refused him both the drink and the supper; called him a lazy, drunken, good for nothing fellow; and told him that she did not work so hard herself, to throw away her earnings such creatures as he was. A man who sat by, upon and observing that the Indian, then turning about to leave so inhospitable a place, showed by his countenance, that he was suffering very severely from want and weariness, directed the hostess to supply him what he wished, and engaged to pay the bill for him. She did so. When the Indian had finished his supper, he turned to his benefactor, thanked him, and assured him that he should remember his kindness, and whenever he was able would faithfully recompense it. Some years after, the man who had befriended him, had occasion to go some distance into the wilderness between Litchfield, then a frontier settlement, and Albany, where he was taken prisoner by an Indian scout, and carried to Canada. When he arrived at the principal settlement of the tribe, on the southern border of the St. Lawrence, it was proposed by some of the captors that he should be put to death. During the consultation, an old Indian woman demanded that he should be given up to her that she might adopt him in the place of a son whom she had lost in the war. He was accordingly given her, and lived through the succeeding winter in her family; experiencing the customary effects of savage hospitality. The following summer he was at work Between high and low pressure boats there are vast differ-in the forest alone, an unknown Indian came up to him and ences in the cost of outfit. The Missouri, (high pressure,) asked him to meet him at a place which he pointed out, large class, 610 tons, cost when ready for service, $80,000. upon a given day. The prisoner agreed to the proposal but Her engine, horizontal and one of the most perfect ever put not without some apprehensions that mischief was intended in the hull of a vessel, was purchased a bargain, and cost at him. During the interval, these apprehensions increased to Pittsburg, in June last, $18,000. An additional $3000 such a degree as to dissuade him, effectually, from fulfilling more was paid for its transportation to Erie. Her upholst his engagement. Soon after the same Indian found him at erer's bill amounted to $4000. his work again, and very gravely reproved him for not performing his promise. The man apologized, awkwardly enough, but in the best manner in his power. The Indian told him that he should be satisfied if he would meet him at the same place on a future day, which he named. The man promis The Cleaveland, low pressure, large class, 570 tons, was built and fitted out three years ago, at a time when labor and materials were very high. Her hull cost $22,50-engine $45,000, with an additional $5000 for shafts, &c. furnished at this place previous to her going into service. This crafted to meet him, and fulfilled his promise. When he arrived is allowed to have the most happy combination of arrangements of any boat on the western waters, a circumstance most assuredly which gives her such great speed. She consumes three cords of wood every hour, or 150 to Detroit and back, and 600 cords to Chicago. An ordinary high pressure boat will consume about 80 cords to Detroit and back, or 375 to Chicago and back. During the first twelve trips of the Constitution this sea at the spot, he found the Indian provided with two muskets, ammunition for them and two knapsacks. The Indian ordered him to take one of each and follow him. The direc tion of their march was to the south. The man followed without the least knowledge of what he was to do, or whither he was going; but concluded that, if the Indian intended him harm he would have despatched him at the beginning, and that at the worst he was as safe where he was, as he could be in any other place. Within a short time, therefore, his fears subsided; although the Indian observed a profound and mysterious silence concerning the object of the expedition. In the day time they shot such game as came in their way, and at night kindled a fire by which they slept. After a tedious journey of many days, they came one morning to the top of an eminence presenting a prospect of a cultivated country in which was a number of houses. The Indian asked his companion whether he knew the ground. He replied eagerly that it was Litchfield. His guide, then, after reminding him that he had many years before relieved the wants of a famished Indian at an Inn in that town, subjoined, "I am that Indian; now I pay you-go home." Having said this, he bade him adieu, and the man joyfully returned to his own house.-President Dwight's Travels. Granite Quarries. The method of raising large masses of stone for the building of the ancient temples in Balbec, &c. has formed a subject for the speculations of the engineers and architects. The skeptic has also been led to exclaim against the possibility of accomplishing such undertakings as are recorded in past history; but a visit to some of our modern quarries would go far to satisfy the curious and incredulous in such matters, that great works are being performed at the present time. The largest stones found in the ruins of Balbec measured 72 feet long by 8 feet square. A visit to the Quincy Granite Quarries would enlighten some upon this subject. I have a few days ago returned from a ramble in that part of the country. I called upon Mr. Willard, architect, of Boston, and engineer of these extensive quarries which belong to the Exchange Company of New York; he kindly showed me the works-here the materials for the erection of the Exchange are obtained; at the time I was on the spot Mr. W. was getting out two blocks of granite, each measuring 82 feet long by 8 feet square; the same might have been obtain ed 16 feet square if it had been necessary. These immense blocks, with the apparatus used they appear to handle with as much ease as a stick of cord wood. Several columns for the New York Exchange were nearly completed; the carriages constructed for conveying the columns from the quarry to the vessel, together with the screws, are curiosities. The columns for the new Custom House at Boston are much larger than those above mentioned. Mr. W. pointed out a spot where a stone of 600 tons might be got without any difficulty. The men were also employed in getting out an entrance for a burial ground in Tremont street, in the Egyptian style, of massive blocks with some neat carving. A journey to the quarries would satisfy the curious as to the manner of raising ponderous masses of stone. Mr. Willard is a pupil of Asher Benjamin, Esq., and may be ranked amongst the first engineers of the day. SCAGLIOLA. Public Ledger. A Shark, of the shovel nose species was caught by some fishermen hauling a net for sturgeon, nearly opposite this town, on Saturday morning last. It is very unusual for this formidable fish to be seen so high up the Potomac as this. In consequence of the drought, however, the river has become brackish, and this may account for a visit from the stranger, it scarcely ever quitting salt water. Becoming entangled in the net, it was, captured with considerable difficulty and dragged ashore. Its length was eight feet six inches, and its circumference round the largest part of the body five feet. Its mouth was armed with several rows of sharp teeth. The shark was exhibited as a show. confidence state that it bids fair to become a most important "Judging from the quality of this shipment, we may with India we have millions of sheep, worth about two shillings branch of our export. When it is considered that in British cach, with endless pasture, it will be strange indeed, when the breed is crossed, if we cannot compete successfully in the production of wool, when aided by British capital, with the rest of the world. It is a fact not generally known, that the principle stock from which Australian sheep have been bred numbers of sheep have been exported annually to Australia; was derived from India; that for a long period enormous and that numbers are now being daily shipped to the Cape of Good Hope, where one cross with the merino breed improves the wool threepence per pound.” Yankeeish. A young Yankee farmer happened, some months back, to see a paragraph in one of the New York papers, relative to the arrival and sale of a lot of foreign canary birds; and immediately began to calculate if he could the conclusion that he could undersell the foreign article, not make a good speck in the same business. He came to and make money by it. He therefore procured some dozens of canary birds, set them to breeding, and as soon as their young ones were fit for market, he made a multitude of very whole on a most curiously constructed wagon, which was handsome small cages, put a bird into each, and packed the whence he arrived in due time, and asked $4 for each cage also the work of his own hands, and drove off to New York, and bird.

During the late session of Congress, Mr. Ruggles, from the Committee on Commerce, to whom was referred the resolution of the Senate, instructing them to inquire whether the law regulating vessels propelled in whole or in part by steam, does not require amendment, submitted a report to that body, accompanied by a bill amendatory of the law of 1838. This bill was left among the mass of unfinished business, and consequently the law of 1838 still remains in force. The committee express an opinion that the said law has contributed in some degree to public security, but add, "We have abundant proof that it falls far short of effectually shielding the public from those disasters which prompted its adoption." In proof of this, they state that in the course of the past year about 200 lives had been lost in consequence of steamboat disasters, exceeding the average of former years. There were 41 accidents in 1839 on the Western waters alone. The following statistical account of them is derived from a Western publication: Snagged,.. Struck upon rocks, &c., On the Eastern waters and the lakes, 21 346.45 7 New Haven, Destroyed by fire, Explosions, Collisions, Of these, 23 were totally lost.

The whole number of steamboat accidents, of a serious nature, which have occurred in the United States, since the introduction of steam navigation, is stated at 272, of which the following is a summary : No. of vessels. 103 explosions and collapses of boilers,. 35 shipwrecks, gales, and collisions, 34 fires from various causes,.. 27 unascertained causes.

It is probably now nearly equal to our own. Number] of British steamers at the dates mentioned, 810. The number of steamboat disasters in England has been less than in America, though not less, proportionately, than on the Atlantic waters of the United States. According to a table which we published a year or two ago, compiled by order of Parliament, 92 disasters to British steam vessels had been ascertained, causing a loss of 634 lives. Quite a number have occurred since. The Archimedes Steam Ship-The mode of propulsion may be said to be by a portion only of the Archimedean screw. When the vessel was first tried, a full turn of that species of screw (like a patent cork screw on a central straight spindle) was employed. The inventor afterwards, for the sake of compactness, introduced the double-threade 1 screw, with half a turn of each thread, as more applicable to this vessel, although he rather prefers the other. This is of iron, and is fixed in an opening on the run of the vessel, above the keel, and about ten feet forward from the rudder. The screw works transversely with the keel, radiating the water all round, as it turns, with a backward movement. Its diameter is five feet nine inches, and the length fore and aft about five feet. It almost appears incredible that so small a portion of machinery could propel a vessel of such length, but the hold it takes of the water, and the velocity with which it turns, are the elements of its power. It is quite under the surface, and is therefore invisible by spectators, either on board or on shore. It is worked by a spindle, form-! ing its axle, which runs fore and aft, and is connected with the steam engine, the velocity being acquired by a combination of spur wheels and pinions. Each revolution of the larger wheel turned by the cranks of the engine, gives, by the multiplied power, five and one-third revolutions of the screw; which, consequently, revolves at the rate of from 130 to 150 turns in a minute, according to the speed of the engine. In consequence of the powerful stream thus propelled against the rudder, the ship is actually found to obey the helm much more readily, and to be therefore more under command in steering, than either a common steam or sailing vessel; so that she can easily turn round in 14 or 14 of her own length, while it is well known that an ordinary steamer cannot do so with the paddles in less than six times her length. The shafts of the steam engine work fore and aft, the cranks turning transversely, so as to communicate the power directly, by cog wheels, to the screw; and there is one considerable advantage arising from this arrangement of the machinery, namely, that the cylinders, and in fact the whole weight of the engine rest immediately over the keel, where the vessel is least liable to straining or twisting from the effects of undue pressure. The larger wheel is toothed or cogged with horn-beam (timber.)—Inverness Courier. Canal Tolls.-The tolls collected on all the N. Y.
