[FROM THE MORNING POSTI In the early part of the present year, we were induced to express our decided oppbSition to any further encouragement •being given' to the impor tation of foreign timber into this country; we stated in detail the grounds on which oar objec tions were founded, and urged the necessity of continuing the present system of duties which had been ,proposed by Lord BATHURsT and the late Mr. Rosa, and from which the most beneficial re sults had flowed. On that occasion, we pointed out to our Readers the practical good effects which had arisen from the British Colonial Trade, and referred them to the Parliamentary Returns of the exports to, end the imports from these COlonies to the Mother Country ; and 'we pro tnised in the course of the Spring to give another practical illustration of this important trade, which the arrival of the February letters from Quebec no'w enables us to do. The following ex po,ition of the Canada trade for the last year, is taken from Mr. NBILSOIi'S ably conducted Paper, called " The Quebec Gazette," to which, with great satisfaction, we, refer the Public, trusting that if any doubts are still entertained by any part of the King's Ministers of the policy of continuing the present duties on foreign timber, that those doubts will vanish ; and that no time will be lost by them in giving such assurances to the trading and shipping interests, as will relieve them from the embarrassments they now feel from the uncer tainty which prevails on this subject, from the Norway and Baltic agents declaring they are well .assured it is the intention of Government to lower the duties on all foreign wood. PORT OF QUEBEC, 1819. The value of Imports for this year exceeds those of 1818, upwards of 230,0001. The amount of this year's importations, at fair marketable, and realized price, exceeds 1,400,0001. and may safely bu put down at a million and a half. The average shipping sal tie of the Exports, (not including Furs and Peltries) may he estimated at about. 736,0001. cur rency, (taking into account the new ships built here) the principal item Of which is Lumber. This country is so situated as to proximity4ind commercial relations, that it is diffictili to decide how the annual account may balance, as to Prat and Loss—whether,-as immediately a ir ec ti,g the Canadas, or the Mother Country. The wand and ctus)latory conoitivratiott is, that the nature of tik trade has been such as to'employ so great an amount of tonnage— the 155,000 register tons of shipping loaded here, have taken ewe!) , urwards of 200,000 tons measurement of lumber. Fience thiS short view of the Canada trade for one year, so well known,,and so justly appreciated in 'England, may lead the _ British Government and shipping interest to estimate' fairly, hoW far the lumber trade of British North America contributes' to 'Maintain the maritime" superiority of the Empire.

Many of the large masts require twenty four bullocks and horses to drag them out of the woods to the edge of the rivers where they can be rafted and floated. No great quantity of large masts have been got out lower down than Montreal, except front t)►e Seigniory of Ross Cuth bert, Esq.. back from Bertkier and Yamaska, in the years 1811, 12, 13,' and 1814.—M. Cutbbert's price for the tree standing in the forest was one .dollar each ; such masts at were drawn fron► thence might average one with another 18 inches at the partners, (the place for measurement) and would be on that girt at least sixty-three feet in length, and would contain in cubical measurement near three load, at the price of only 31. per load, 91. each mast; hence it follows, that from 55., the original cost of the timber, the increased value of about 81. and upwards in the stick was laid on and expended in the various channels of expense, in bringing it to, and dressing and preparing it for market. . The charges fur dressing and preparing staves and masts for the market are greater than on other deecriptions of Lurm►ber. It is well kno►en that the lumber man (as he is called in general,) pays nothing for the growing timber ; few make money by getting it out, and many who engage in the busi ness ruin themselves. If this view of the trade be nearly correct (laying aside the weighty considerations of employing British Seamen and Tonnage, taking British goods in barter for Lumber, and otherwise extending the sale of them, inde pendent of other Transatlantic considerations), it follows that nearly all the 200,0001. is laid out in employing of Labourers in the Canadas, and in consuming the produce of the soil,. in feeding and clothing the various descriptions of men and cattle employed in the business—excepting always the first cost of that portion of the Lumber from the United Stales, until it floats on the Canada streams. The expellees on rafts from Lake Champlain are heavy at Chambly, the large tim ber is brought down the Rapids of St. John's in•small floats, and re-rafted in the Basin of Chambly for the Quebec market, The inhabitants of Quebec derire great advantages from the quantity of floats they buy almost fur nothing (this is the -cage on which the staves, deals, &c. are rafted down), which supply hundreds of families with fire-wood, and with which the greater part of the houses in the suburbs, and many of the out-houses in town are built.
