With a view of making him a party to the toot, •his being cited to tee proceeding., he...ap peared under protest, denying the jurisdiction of the Court, and charging collusion. Lord Stowell baying in a former stage of the proceeding over ruled the protest and permitted the cause to pro ceed, the question came on to be reconsidered be fore his Lordship's successor, and upon additional grumada, and the Court gave judgment at great length and deliberation. The Judge observed, that in taking upon him to overrule this, protest as had been done by his predecessor, this Court gave mu opinion as to any ulterior question that might arise upon it. It merely overruled because the grounds un which the protest stood were not suffi ciently sustained; but the Court, in decreeing this, enjoined nothing absolutely, and denounced no conarquences. It appeared to the Court that thus caw fell within the provisions of thestatute of (kitty the Vlth.

Such nottee was agreeable to the practice of the Ecclesiastiesl Courts. This Court was of opiu;on the citation was entitled to issue upon a general principle, and that it operated generally in effect.

The ensniug paper is blinded to percent • brief a u tliag a t the present state of Upper Canada, for the irsforneetieo of each persons a: may feel disposed to remove, with their fa., miller. to that interesting portion of his Majesty's do. The writer having himself resided in the province from its aelgbial settlement, under the snspices of Lieutenant-Go. vernier Sinscoe, with very little interruption, to the nand dot; sod baying been intrusted by the British Goveromept with the settlement of that populous and highly improving extent of territory slung the banks of Lake Erie, now called Tot Tet.,wr Sorrramans, pledges himself for the enteral accuracy of his details POSITION AND EXTEN'T OF UPPER CANADA. The province of Upper Cauada commences at between 73 and 74 degrees of west longioule; its western extremity being at atonal 14. Its southern boundary extends from 45. 90 10 41.40 of north latitude. To the north, it may be said to selvaace as far as the Pols. That portion of its ter ritory, which is now in course of settlement, is competed to be not less than 700 miles In length, from earl to west, having a main breadth of 150 miler, or thereabouts. The whole of this (mummies tract of laud possesses pecu liar adventagm, in point of situation; the river of Si. Law relief, and lakes Ontario, Erie, and St. Clair, furnishing a coutinued and easy water communication aluug its emirs southern line. There are 'several other navigable lakes and rivers, which Intersect it in a northern direction, all of which are connected with the St. Lawrence. CLIMATE, SOIL. AND PRODUCTIONS. Crtstase.--The climate of Upper Canada is considerably milder lino 'flat of the Lower menace, tad the winters shorter in the same proportion. in both these respects it improves es yen proceed lo the westward ; PO mach so, that although the frost generally sets is in Norimber, at the Point so Bode', on Lake St. Francis, its eastern extremity ; mid continues is that neighbourhood till the middle of April, it rarely commences on the shores of Lake Erie be fore Christina., where it usually disappears between the t3th of March and lst of April. The greatest depth of strove. around Lake St. Francis is about three feel; which gradually diminishes to 18 inches, on the !minims Of Lake Erie. From York, on Lake Ontario, upwards, neither black cattle nor sheep require housing during the whiter, sod the new settler, with the addition of a small quantity of straw, eon keep hie stock on the tender branches of the Ines, felled by him, in clearing his land, until the return of spring. Oa a comparison with the climate of Great Britain, the heat in the summer mouths is somewhat greater, but Inver oppressive; as it is always accompanied by light breezes. nitre is less rain than in Eagland; but it falls at more regular period.; gratralty is the spring and autumn. The winter cold, though it exceeds that of the British isles, , is the less sensibly felt, in consequence of its dryness; and seldom continues intense for more than three days together, owing to the cotenant shifting of the wind between the north-west and south went points. It may be observed, that the winter season is the men favourable to land carriage, as the roads then admit of sledging in all dinning, which is • very expeditious mode of conveyance, and encoded with but tittle draft ; so that one horse, or ux, can in this man ner, easily draw double what be can upon wheels. It is hardly necessary to slate, that, In • country so overspread with timber, there can never be • deficit**, of fuel. At the fermis disappear the climate improver. Solt..—Upper Canada is blessed with as productive a soil as soy In the world ; and it is easily brought into cultiva te's, as will appear, when the agricultural system there pur sued is not seed. The feature of the soil may he invariably discovered by the description of timber it bears. Thus, °a what is called hard-timbered hind, where the mapl e , b eec h, bu n k birch, ash, cherry, lime, elm, oak, black walnut, butternut, hickory, plane, and tul ip-tree,Stc. are found, the sail monists of a deep Mark lonic Where the her and hemlock pine are inter mixed in any cosaiderableproportios with other trees,clay pre dominates; but where they grow slate, which is georeally ea elevated tit uatenin,sond prevails. Tbis also happens where the oak and cheviot am the only trees. Them sandy soils,though naturally unfavourable to meadow and pasture, are found to pr i as aa s I k e brightest and heaviest wheats, mid cam, with the assistance of gypsum, which abounds ill many parts of the province, be made to bear the boat possible crops of clover and Indian cora. In moist seasons, the clays furnish the greatest burden of grass. Perhaps there did not exist in any quarter of the globe a country, of the extant of Upper Canada, cannon* seaman • quantity of waste Mod, either of marsh or mountain; yet there is not any deficiency of water; fur, independently of the numeiona rivers and streams which Row through the country on every side, good springs are usiversally to be fogad either on the surface or by digging for them. NATURAL PRODUCTIONs —The forests abound its excel. lest timber, adapted to nIl esti, and furnish a considerable supply twill to the West Indian and British markets. That which is chiefly exported consists of the oak sad fir. Tie timber most esteemed in Upper Canada, for building bud farming purposes, la the white oak (very similar to the Eng bah), the yellow pine, a sort of deal which cuts up into ex reheat boards; as does alm site tulip tree, which, there grows to an immense size. This latter timber is by assay considered the best fur weather-boarding, from its superior facility in taking paint; and, being of the poplar tribe, it is leer liable than most other woods to secidenta from fire, as it never blazes. The oak and hickory are principally used fur plough., cartwheels, he. The black walnut, cherry, and curled maple, woe k op isle durable and beautiful furniture of all Ports. From the maple, the settlers, by a very simple and nosy Profees• of tapping, obtain, in • few days, a sufficient quantity of 'agar to supply their familiar for • year; many indeed mauufac. tor, • cousiderablir morphus fur sal*. The bark of the oak, hemlock, sad black birch, is em ployed in tanning; but that of the brat In preferred for this purpose. Better-sue bark affords a durable brown dye for woollen, cotton, and lima yarn. Soap may be made, is say missilities, from the wired ashes, with the addition of • certain propue ion of tallow, or grease of any hied. Plums, cherries, crab apples (which latter yield an excellent pre. ✓eeve) gouieberriem, currants, strawberries, raspberms, grapes, cranberries, walnuts, cheviots, and filberts, grow wild in the woods; where game is sufficiently shorebird, con sisting (tithe red deer, hares, pheasants, woodcocks, wipes, and quails, with many usher birds, good for the table ; in which enumeration should not be omitted the wild pigeon, which, at certain periods of the year, migrates from the wear ward in flocks of such stagnation as surpasses all descripe than, and are excellent eating.

The waters them. orlon swarm with ernelleat fish, of various sorts, many of which are unknown in Europa. la proportion as the country is explored, salt spring. are discovered, which, when property worked, It is expected will yield La adequate supply of salt to the province. There are also mineral springs, some of which have great efficacy in removing rheumatic and *corneae disorders. Oflimestoue,and clay fur making brick", there is no want. Iron works are likewise established is several situatioaa, and, from the quantity of ore fooled, they be exceedingly productive. grail grown is Upper Canada, consists .aft and winter wheal, oats, barley, rye, buck wheat, Indian corn; the last of which is a most important le of conscientious. Pease are the only field palm cult i there, the summer heats helot; considered too greet for green crops, there are potatoes, tursilps, pump er (red and white,) and timothy grass. Both flax succeed remarkably well; and ins latter will pro mo very distant day, become as object of the greatest dance, both to the colony and the mohair country.

Faun AND ifrorratuata.--All the fruit anJ heti,s corn. soon to the Eagissb kitchen g arden thrive well in this pro vince; and several of the former, that cannot, in all seasons, ►a had in Perfccli.ts, wi.hiast forcing. in England, succeed there In the open air; such a, peaches, nectarines, mprirotes, grapes, and melons; all of which are excellent is their kinds. There is al.o a great variety of apples, pears, plums, and eherrigs, of the finest qualify, which are unknown to Euro pean orchards. The stone fruit is all raised on standards. AchieveTent.Course of crops. The soil being of such • nature as not to need maerre, the same attention is out n u " Pahl to the regular succession of crops, as in Great B. hie. After wheat, which is generally harvested ia the month of July aid beploning of August; rye can be sown Is the auteenn with advantage. The rye crop is frequently laid dun is with clover or grass seed, which, unless the farmer is pressed for ground, will continue to furnish good meadow and pasture for fearer five years; otherwise, it is ploughed up before winter, sod in the spring, put its peas, spring wheat, lease core, barley, oats, or buck w hest, all of which answer very well, the two first rather benefiting than impoverishing the land. The I and tops of the lodise corn, likewise afford excellent winter food for cattle, particularlymilch cows; After soy of these latter crops, wheat may be sawn again. Potatoes sad turnip, succeed best upon newly.cleared land, as • first crop ; potatoes being pat into the ground with a hand hoe, from the beginning of May till the middle of hue. Turnips. are sown shout the first week in August, after the greatest heat has subsided (at which time the By has disap peared), simply requiring the harrow. It is to be eaderstood, that the new land is never ploughed for the And and second crops. Timothy is the grass most cultivated, as it affords a kat burdeo of the last hay, besides good after-grass; how ever, it is hest mixed with clover, to which it acmes as a tapped, and prevents matting. DUTIES Or • New SIITTLAIIL—On application made to the guperiatendaet of the laud granting Departmert of tbe district is which he proposes to settle, he will oblate • ticket of location, for • certain quantiey of laud. Fur. gashed with this, his first care ought to be, to select • proper situation for his house. This should be placed as near as maybe to the public road, on which his lot abate, and con- Wearies, if possible, to • spring or run of water. Having chows his spot, lie then sets "kart clearing a sufficient spate to erect his house on, taking cm le cut down all the largo trees, withal the disowns of at greet one hundred feet. — The dimeoaioue of the house are generally 20 feet byi eigh teen; sad the timber used in coitstraeling the walls, con sisting of the rough stems of trees, cut iglu those lengths, Is not to exceed two feet m diameter. The height to the roof is commonly about 11 feet, which affords. ground room, and owe over head. The house is rueful in with shingles (a sort of woodru.tile.) split out of the oak, chesniti, or pine timber. A door, windows, and an aperture fur the chim ney at one end, are next cat out of the walls, the spaces between the log. being filled sip with split wood, nod after. wards plastered,, both Weide and oat, with clay or mortar, which renders it perfectly warm. When once the necessary space for the bosom, is cleared, and the logs for the walls collected on the spot, Hire:poem and labour of the settler, in erecting his habitation, is a mere wire; it heisg a n esta blished custom, ~mg the neighbouring settlers, to give their gratuitous ■s a . nee in the raising of it; and the whole is performed in • few hours. The settler, ~mg now a house over bid head, commences the clearing of • sum. cleat quantity of land, to raise ibe ~eel supply of pro. visions, required for bus family. The following is the method,- in which land is cleared : The brushwood is first cut down clew to the ground, and pilled in heaps, res it is cat; scat come the sapling, or young trees, to the sise'of nix inches in diemeter : these are cut into short length, and laid un the brushwood. Such timber as may have fallen, by age or accident. on the space to be cleared, is then sought out ; the stems of which are chopped into lengths of II feet, and the lops and tops piled with the Imushwood, &c. These operatieus performed, he may set about ruttier down the large trees. They are chopped at &POW two feet and a half frum the root ; and the stem of aseh•tree in cut up into length, of eleven feet. The limbs and tope are ewe hie shoat lengths, and pecked on the brush wood heaps. When the whole of the large trees, un the ground to be cleared, are disposed of, iu the manlier just described, the benshood heaps, as soon sa sufficiently dry for the psrpose of burning (which, ita the summer month', Is the ease in • lartnight,) ere set ire to. During the pro cess of burning, the heaps must be attended to, sad the aids emotionally pushed In, in order that the whole may be con. "tamed. After this has taken place, the ground is ready foe what is celled Logging. This is performed by a yoke of oxen, with chats, to femme round the end of the stems, (reserving such as will spilt into rails) which ere draws together, and piled up in different heaps.— Three or tier men are generally required to attend this work. These last heaps may be immediately set fire to, if the weather he dry, end likewise require to be watched by a man, who is In posh is the logs, as the centre baronies hollow. After all is consumed, excepting the Menthe Wearied for rails, the ashes are either spread oat ow the land, or collected fur the makers of potash; who give about four.pence per bushel for them. If the deltoid mend is sufficiently near to a potash work fur trampur the price given far them there nearly covers the expense of Ocarina. The had is now prepared for &sem and sowing. For the litter object, the ground is merely vole over iu cross directions, with a triangular harrow. This form is adopted, that it sissy pass through the stumps which still remain in the ground. Potatoes sad Indian Corn are put in with • band hoe; and amongst the latter, punakin wed may be sown, without injury to the cora. The properest season for rowing wheat, is, g ally, from the end of August, to the middle of September • but on these newly cleared lands, that do nut require ploughing, it can be sown at any time before the frost sets le, although iccannot reasonably be expected, that hte sown wheat should produce so abundant • crop, as that which in put into the ground early. The quantity of seed used is one bushel only per acre, and the easel return is from 25 to 40 bushels. The other grains are sown in the following proportions: A peek of built' curls will plant one acre, yielding from 40 to 100 ~bets ; pease require tr bashels to the sere; oats two bushels, barley three, rye one, and buck when half a bushel. A settler 'envier lea Jane, if industrious, can, witb ease, prepare five acme of wheat, to be soya the same estrum ; after which, he may employ himself in clearing fresh ground for his sprier crops s mid at the end of the first 14 months, he will fiord himself amply supplied with bread and vegetables. These with the addition of a cow, and a pig or two, will be all that In necessary for his sueleasace. His cow sad bore will bed their liviee in the woods, during the greatest part of the year, and only need a trilling support la winter. There are distilleries generally e.tisblished throughout the country, where the settler etas obtain spirits in exchange fur his grain, on very moderate terms. Mewing also might be carried on, at little or se expense, as the soil and climate produce hops of the beet quality. Grist and saw-milh are also sufficieotly isumerous is ell parts of the province. Wheueser the settler can afford to lay down iu grass, • 'ra ciest quantity of laud for the keep of a few sheep, he can from the wool, with the aid of • small patch of flax, mane facture whatever clothing the family may want. It may be as well to remark in this place, that the see of the axe gene. rally appears at first somewhat awkward to the emigrant from Europe, but practice will soon reconcile him to it. inch persons, however, as prefer hiving American chop pers, and ;Somme the meaus of to doing, can easily find contractors fur the work. The usual charge for chopping, burning, fearing, sad Wigging the hod solo a proper state to receive the seed, is at the rate of about 41. 10s. per acre, the workmen finding their own provisions. An expert chop. pee will clear, ready fur burring, au acre of heavy timbered land, in eight or ten days. From the foregoing sheet observations, a tolerable idea may be funned of the advantages to be derived by a pour family entigiatieg to Upper Canada, the very first year as. miring its members ~edam( =MIS of living well, nod each succeeding one charging its scale of comforts. The settler, in the first place, obtains from the Crowe a grant, in per petuity, of from 50 to awes, according to the she of his ?easily, and bin means of improvement. His labour, therefore, is wholly expended upon his own property. A large family of children, instead of proving a harden ape Mal, contribute greatly le his aashitaace, as useful cm. t 01•VC•111• 111110111111•10, ••111, "WM lilt 9111101117 U. or 11.1110 U, lacy • - • • .or the no We feel sincere regret in anuouncing the stop- pro mise to be exreedingiy productive. emnractuts brining, fencing, s ad page of a long-established sod most respectable rowel to Upper Canada, consists „.. ,_ ~ of spei l o ll' anci; T intr ig :r s ir s e l a i l, Gatos barley, rye. buck *lwatt i . _ o reeei . ve the mien, is a book, in the county of Norfolk.
