" This is the most valuable work that we have hitherto seen upon one of the most important colonies of the British empire. It embraces every topic—navigation, agriculture, discovery, travel, land-purchase, settling, the means of sub sistence, wood clearing, the civil and political relation of Canada to Europe and the United Staten, climate, tempera ture, diseases, traffic, canals, &c. The hook is interesting to every man who desires to have a statement of Canada, • free from fiction, or exaggeration of any kind.

TYPOGRAPHY AND CALLIOGRAPNY OF GERMANY...—in this region of study and lucubration, it has been calculated that, out of a population of 42,000,000, there are 12,500 writers, or one learned penman in every 3,200 souls. The number of sheets printed has been esti mated at 187,000,000 per annum, which gives 47 sheets per head. Periodical works are not comprised in thi s calculation, though they form a mass of no trivial pon derosity. It would be superfluous to add, that if there be no country in Europe which can match the Teutonic in scribes, there is none which it does net distance in readers. —Literary Gazette. A HINT TO COACH-HIRERS.—A French man bailed a jarv e y in St. Paul's church-yard, and ordered coachey to drive him to Finsbury-square. When he ar rived at his destination, by way of St. Martin's-le-Grand and Ilarbimn, he inquiipd the fare, which appeared to him so enormous that he asked, " Could not you, Mister Coach-a-man, drag me mosh of a more near a vay ?"-- . 4 No, mounseer," bluntly replied coachey, " it's quite as near, I reckon, us going along Cheapsid e ." " Vat is dat? Sheap-side !" cried the Fr enc h man, i n an agony o f in dignation ; cc dat is de side for me, for vy you drag poor foreigner all along de dear side yen de sheap side do all as Je same !!' And it was some time before he could be_ per suaded that the fare in that case would have been aorauch.' PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. s.—Their. Majesties tht Empress of Brazils and the Queen of Portugal, with their respective suites, sailed on Sunday after• noon from Spithead, with a fair wind, in the Impe ratrix, attended by the other Brazilian frigate Isabel, and the corvette Maria Isabel, for Rio de Janeiro. The Gloucester, 74, Captain H. Stuart, from • the Eastward, anchored at St. Helen's on the same morning, when she took on board a fore-yard from this Dock-yard, and again weighed when the Bra zilian squadron made sail from Spithead. On the latter's arrival at St. Helen's, the Gloucester joined and sailed with them as an escort. She will attend them past the Western Islands, and then proceed to the Mediterranean. The Lord Suffield transport, which arrived o►. Saturday last from Sierra Leone, brought to Eng land 94 men of the Royal African Colonial Light Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant W. E. Stanley, as well as invalids, under the care of Hos pital-Assistant Murray. The colony, previous to the departure of• the Lord Suffield, had been more unhealthy than usual, the following having been re cent victims to the climate, viz.:—Kenneth Mac auley and Joseph Reffell, Esqrs., the former hat: been 20 and the hitter 14 years at Sierra Leone ; Lieutenant Patterson, R.A. Corps, Acting Major of Brigade; Messrs. dough, Christenson, Grove, G. Barber, G. Cole, Jarvis, M 4 Cullam, two Wes- le)an Ministers; Mrs. De Peir, wife of the Brazi lian Consul; Mrs. T. H. Barber, &c, There are not now any white troops at Sierra Leone, the garrison consisting of about 80, being composed of the Royal African Corps, and a recruiting party of the .Ist and 2d West India Regiments. Major Ricketts, the Lieutenant-Governor, was in good health, and had made many improvements—his measures were considered better than those adopted by his prede cessors. Instead of maintaining the liberated Afri cans two years on rations as formerly, he imme diately after their gaining strength locates them in the mountain village, and gives to each man an allotment of ground and 3d. per diem for six months; in which period many of them build comfortable dwellings. Besides throwing them on their own resources, this policy stimulittes them to habits of industry, and tends more to civilize them dm any steps that had been previously taken. The Royal Marine Artillery have this week sup• plied detachments to make up the full complement of the Britannia, Gloucester, and Melville. These are the only line-of-battle ships yet under orders for the Mediterranean. The Melville, 74, Capt. A. Schomberg, went out of harbour on Wednesday, and will proceed to that station as soon as Captain Schomberg is released from his dutieS as a member of the Court Martial now sitting on the trial of Capt. Dickenson. The Blossom,:16, Commander Richard Owen, arrived on Tuesday, from the Eastward. She will proceed, in the course of the ensuing week, to the East Indies. The Lightning, Capt. Dickinson, at Plymouth, will go out of harbour next week. She is destined to relieve the Heron, at the Brazils. DEVONPORT, SEPT. s.—ln one of the late heavy gales, on the Scotch coast, his Majesty's surveying vessel, Investigator, Mr. Thomas, Master, Commander, had a very narrow escape. At one time, running eight knots an hour, they passed a rock not ten yards distant, and another so near one could have leaped on it; however, by dint of perse verance and kindness of Providence, they were enabled to reach Moray Frith, off Cromarty, with some injury to her masts, nearly all the bulwarks washed away, with all the provisions, casks, live stock, &c., that were on deck. We learn that the Caledonia, 120, now under repair at this Dock-yard, is to take the place of the Victory guard-ship, at Portsmouth, in the ensuing spring. _ _ _ Thomas Byam Martin, K.C.8., Comptroller of the Navy Board, arrived here on Thursday with his Secretary, on an official visit, and returned to London yesterday. Mr. Foot, Chief Officer of the Coast Guard sta tion at Cawsand, seized a boat on Sunday night, off Port Wrinkle, in which were seven men, and 24 tubs of run brandy. A 74-gun ship is now building at Van Dieman's Land, with teak timber from Trincomalee ; and, strange to relate, India rubber is now generally used in sheathing vessels, by straining a thin coat over the surface. India rubber cotton is also used as an impervious covering, wherever such is requisite; and the use of both will shortly be extended to England. A Court of Inquiry is now sitting at St. Mary's, one of the Scilly Islands, to investigate certain charges of negligence against the Chief Officer and Chief Boatmen of the Preventive Water Guard at Tresco, with reference to a late smuggling transac tion on that island. Captain Evance, R.N., from Penzance, is the President. Mr. J. Perriam, Master, is appointed to the Isis; and Mr. Rae, Master, to the Pearl. The quarterly meeting of the Royal Naval Annui tant Society was held at their Rooms, in Fore street, and most numerously attended. The sue cessful progress of this institution is not only highly gratifying to the best wishes of its founders and friends, but must in its effects prove of infinite be nefit to the representatives of the various members. The Actuary, in his Report to the Committee, stated, that the present invested capital in the Bank of England amounted to 47,2001. (after the pay ment of two years' annuities and all expenses), and the number of members to 2,030. We have always advocated the cause of this society, inasmuch as its establishment for the amelioration of human cala mity, and its affording support when most needed, entitle it to hold a conspicuous rank among the many benevolent institutions which do honour to the British name. For the sole benefit of the naval service was it founded, and proud indeed should they feel at the Annuitant Society taking so high a stand. COLONIZATION. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. In Two Parts—Plates.

Sin,—The communications you have lately published from Australia are amusing, and by call ing the att e nti o n of people in this country to a state of circumstances by which they may profit immensely, if they set about it in the right way, may be equally useful. The burden of the wri ter's song—the one great obstacle to the rapid improvement of that country, which he dwells on and re-asserts in every sentence—is the great scarcity, and consequent dearness, of labour in that colony. Other sources of information con firm the fact, that the employment of capital is checked, the most promising speculations stifled, not by the very high price alone of labour, but by the impossibility of procuring it on, any terms, in sufficient abundance. And this is the case in the colony of a mother country, in which labour is, by the admission of all parties, so hurtfully redundant, that a labourer's pay will not find bread for h a lf hi s f am ily ; and thousands of the working el4sses, able and willing to support themselves if work could be found, are maint a i ne d i n idl enes s by their parishes ; a heavy an d annually increasing burthen on the wealth and industry of the country.—.: Now what are the circumstances which pre vent the great demand fbr labour existing in our colonies from being supplied out of our superabundant stock at home, to the immense reciprocal advantage of both countries ? The expellee of the passage ? Not that, surely for the difference between a labourer's earnings here and at Sydney would, in trio years at furthest, redeem this cost, supposing him to earn only a shilling a day more there than here. If a la bourer articles himself, before leaving this coun try, to serve a farmer in New South Wales, for a term of three or five years, at a certain rate of wages, on condition of his passage being paid ; will not the law of the colony enforce the fulfil ment of the contract ? Surely, if, as in Eng- , land, imprisonment and convict labour followed the desertion or neglect of his work, the higher rate of wages earned there by unaiticled labourers could not affect him. An obstinate individual or two might, under such circumstances, give their masters trouble by doing as little work as pos sible, without incurring legal penalties ; but the many would see it to be their interest to earn a good character for skill and industry during the short term of their apprenticeship, that they may start with more advantage at its expiration. This might be further insured by some clause in ' the contract, giving the masters a power to de duct a part of the wages in case of the servant's neglect or misbehaviour. If the Colonial law does not give this protection to the rights of masters over articled labourers, surely it is an obvious improvement which ought not to be de layed a moment. But is not this extraordinary relative position of England and her colonies, with respect to the demand and supply of labour, of sufficient im portance to call for the interference of the com mon Government ? It might be thought that the emigration question has been amply dis cussed ; but if its advocates base failed in their ! attempts to interest the country, or at least Par- liament, in the subject, it is not only by having professed to accomplish too much at once, and by inadequate means, but chiefly by directing their efforts to promote emigration in a wrong manner, and to a wrong quarter. In the first' place, they erred by proposing to send out the emigrants as colonists, instead of labourers; a plan which exactly trebled the expellee of emi- i gration, by superadding to passage the cost of land, a house, tools, seed, and sustenance, for the man and his family, till his crops came round ; and moreover destroyed his character, by inspiring him with a habit of lazy depend ence on the aid of Government. Captain Hall has published a letter from a half-pay naval offi cer, settled in the neighbourhood of the experi mental colony, planted in 1825 by Government, at Coburg, in Upper Canada. He describes the emigrants as living in idleness and debauchery on their rations of pork, &c., part of which they disposed of for whiskey, at the very time that " labourers' wages were higher than they had ever been known, except during the war." So long as there existsan eager demand for labourers on the part of capitalists in our Colonies, it is surely suffi• cient to transport emigrants to the spot where they are so much wanted, without setting them up as ca pitalists themselves, by which the expellee is enor mously increased, and the evil rather augmented than diminished on the other side of the water. The expence of conveying an able-bodied la bourer to the Canadas is not above 41. 10s. or Si. at the utmost, and it would seem that pa rishes, or large landed proprietors might, with great advantage, expend so much to get rid of their redundant labourers. But if the repay ment of the expence of sending them away is contemplated, the Canadas must not be thought of, owing to their proximity to the United States, where labour bears an equally high price, and the emigrant, by moving a few miles across fo rests, through which it is impossible to track him, may avoid his contract, or get rid of his indentures, whenever he wishes it. This, there fore, is the second error of Mr. Wilmot Horton and his coadjutors. If sent out to the Canadas as labourers, the emigrants cannot be made to repay any part of the expe»ce. If bribed to re main by land and rations, they are demoralized and spoiled, while the expence is quadrupled. But with respect to Australia, no such objection applies. There no safe and profitable sanctuary is offered to a labourer who breaks the law. To imagine that he will take to the desert as a savage or bushranger, in order to avoid an engagement for a year or two at wages far higher than any he has been used to, and with the prospect of independence and even wealth before him, is ri diculous. It appears to me that this great ad vantage possessed by our antipodal colonies over the nearer ones of North America, has not been sufficiently considered ; but that it would be found to make all the difference between success and failure, in a scheme of emigration on a large scale, and supported by Government. Let us suppose Parliament to vote a sufficient sum of money to transport five thousand labourers to Australia. If each have a wife and two children the expence would probably be about 601. each, or 300,0001. in all. There can be little doubt, that on their arrival, employers would instantly take them off the hands of Government, engaging to pay the expence of their passage, by instal. ments, out of their wages; the men being bound by articles to this effect before they set out. If the experiment succeeded, a similar, or still larger exportation might take place the next year, and so on, to the incalculable advantage of both countries ; England not only saving the cost of keeping so many superfluous labourers in idleness and discontent, but gaining also the augmented de mand for her goods, which must immediately follow the increase of population and produce in her colony. Nor need there be a fear of glutting the market fbr labour there, so long as a land of immense fertility is to be had for asking. On the contrary, as your Correspondent has found, the demand for labour under such circumstances in Australia is insatiable, the labourers them selves, after a very short time of service, by the savings of their wages, becoming capitalists, and employers of labour. Thus the demand for labour, if steadily supplied, Must increase in au accelerated or geometrical ratio. I have shewn that the expellee of supplying it may be easily repaid, so that this country could not but gain, even if it were true, accord ing to the trite nonsense of the anta-etmgra tionists, that the numbers of the sur plus labourers at limo would nvt be effectually diminished; This objection of the vacuum being instantly refilled, is, however, but a false and miserable quibble. In the first place, because the void made by the withdrawal of a full grown labourer, cannot, under the worst circumstances of in crease, be refilled before the end of a generation, while the country or parish instantly begins to reap the benefit of his withdrawal. Secondly, - Gecause it is pros cable, that the increase is al ready fastest, where the population is thickest— in other words, that the removal of any number would rather retard than accelerate the increase of the rerilainder, who at present indeed multiply. to the full as fast as they can. It is impossible but that the quotient must be reduced by sub tracting a portion of the multipliers. Finally, those salutary measures which might be applied to counteract the tendency to too rapid an in crease, are prevented from operating by the ex isting redundancy, and would be greatly faci litated by its reduction. That some such scheme of Emigration as that I have pointed out above might be adopted wan infinite benefit both to the Mother Country and her Colony ; is, I think, abundantly clear; and I trust the subject will before long receive, both from the Government and the Legislature, the attention it deserves. It is peculiarly appli cable to Ireland, and would tend to lessen the burthen of providing for their poor, which every thing seems to shew will shortly be thrown, where it ought to fall, on the Irish landowners. C. C. FOREIGN INTELLIG-ENCE, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 3.) PARIS, SEPT. 4.—We find to-day in the Ger man Journals nothing but reports which require confirmation, and some of which have been already disproved by the latest London Journals. Thus the \ruresnburg Correspondent announces, under the head of " Belgrade," that the French and English fleets, consisting of 28 meu•of-war, have entered the Black Sea, and that Turkey is now placed under the protection of those two powers. The accept ance of the treaty of 6th July is still spoken of as certain. The same Journal adds, that a greater part of the troops of the Grand Vizier had happily ar rived at Adrianople. Lastly, it is stated that the quarantine ordered by the Austrian authorities on the frontiers of the Principalities is now 40 days. This last news is the most probable, since the plague has broken out at Odessa and the neighbourhood. The King of Naples will pass through the south of France on his way to Madrid with the Princess Christina, sister to the Duchess of Berri, who is now going to ascend the throne of Spain. (From the Messager dea Chambres, Sept. 4.) SECOND EDITION. PARIS, SEPT. 4, NOON.—The following are the bases upon which it is said that Russia will consent to treat : Ist, The entire or unrestricted execution of the Convention of Akermann 2dly, The ces sion of two places on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea. 3d, An indemnity of 100 millions of Spanish piastres (.500 millions of francs). 4th, The occu pation of Varna and Bourgas, as a security for the payment. 3th, The free passage of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. SYRA, JULY 10.—The last accounts from Candia state that the English Consul, after his installation, had sent his interpreter to the Candiot Chiefs to persuade them to lay down their arms, telling them, that as by the Treaty of the Gth July their island is to remain under the Turkish dominion, they must not expect any success from their enterprise.— These paternal exhortations have not produced the effect which the Consul expected, for the Greeks continue to harass the Turks, who are obliged to act on the defensive. (From the Monitfur of Friday.) LISBON, AUG. 19.—(PRIVATE CORRESPOND.. ENCE.)--The Princess Dowager of Brazil, _Donna Frances Benedicta, died yesterday morning, at half past four o'clock, at the age of 83 years, and in the 17th day of her illness (a bilious fever), a disorder which at present prevails in this capital. The death of this Princess has been greatly felt by all those who are about her, and who knew how much vexa tion she had endured since the return of her nephew, Don Miguel, to Portugal. (From the Journal des Debuts of Friday.) PARIS, SEPT. 4.—The resignation of M. Cha teaubriand cannot be accused of ambition or pride. He is not induced this time to enter the Opposi tion, by even the encouragements of an august Prince, the heir of the throne; nor driven from office by a sudden aggression. He had received no personal attack when he adopted the present course; nothing induced him to proceed thus but his con science. (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) PARIS, SEPT. 3.—THE CHARTER ACCORDING TO THE ARISTOCRACY.—M. de Polignac had, Pt first, so marked an aversion, that to avoid swearing to observe its provisions, he avoided sitting in the Chamber of Peers for a year. The example of England, and particularly the progress which has been made by the doctrines of the Society of Jesus in France, appear to have dissipated his scruples and his repugnance. He will now make protestations in favour of our fundamental law. He will even, if necessary, take the word of M. de Bourmont, as a pledge of his candour. He is convinced, that by means of a good law of election, which will make France a real rotten borough, the Charter will be mose profitable to the aristocracy, than even ab solute power. The English Aristocracy, which seems to have deputed him to be the reformer of our InstitutionF, and the director of our policy, has already traced out to him by its Journals the course we ought to pursue. It has recommended three measures, and its affec tion towards France is a pledge that they are well selected. The first is to reform the law of elec tions, so that the aristocracy may be always certain of having an incontestable majority. The second, to reform the law of succession, so that the terri torial property which gives power may remain un divided in the families of the aristocracy. The third, to make such a law with respect to the Press that there may be no security in manifesting one's opinion except when it is conformable to the inte rests of the Aristocracy and the Catholic Clergy. The results to which the English aristocracy wishes to lead us by these means are easy to per ceive. There is no longer any means of re-esta blishing servitude as it existed in the good times of the feudal system ; if the restored aristocracy endea voured to spare the population and attach it to the land, that would be more dangerous to it than to France. It is no longer possible to transform France into a family estate, of which a prince would have the absolute disposal, on condition of sharing its proceeds with his courtiers. The re-establish ment of the regime, founded by Louis the Four teenth, is not less possible than the feudal regime. There is a third system, which it is much more practicable to establish ; and that is the one of which England presents us the model, and which M. de Polignac has just endeavoured to establish, and that is the general slavery of the industrious classes by the aristocracy,.tinder constitutional forins and names. _ In that system, which the English Government perfectly understands, the legislative power belongs exclusively to the members of the aristocracy. The public offices which lead to honours and fortune, be long only to men invested with legislative power, to their children, or relations. The; people who la bour, are the property of public functicinaries. The English aristocracy manages the industrially elesset. with great skill ; it leaves them the means of pro ducing we a l t h ; eac h i n di v id ua l may choose arc
