OFFICE,
WEATIIR BUILDINGS, BRUNSWICK STREET.
Liverpool, March 20th, 1860.
IVOTICE TO EMIGRANTS.—The GoVergment
II of Canada has authorised the establishment of au Office
In theabove named Buildings, and has appointed the under-
signed Agent :for the purpose of giving reliable information as
to its Agricultural and Mineral resources, to all persons intend-
ing to Emigrate to that Province, or who may desire to obtain
information respecting the same.
Individuals and associations who have represented to the
Canadian Government that they would be willing to settle
• Emigrants in Canada, provided they could obtain large Tracks
of Land, on which to locate a number of families from the
same- neighbourhood, are 'hereby notified, that "Blocks,"
averaging 50,000 acres, have been set apart ,to -enable them
to carry their intentions into effect.
Parties- interested in the mineral resources of Canada are
informed that Maps, showing the position of the Mineral
Track, can be seen at this office.
These tracks - extend chiefly along the shores of Lakes
Huron and Superior. They are believed to be of great value.
The Wellington Copper Mine (Lake Huron) has been success-
fully worked by a London Company for nearly six years. This
Company have recently obtained a New Charter, to enable
them to extend their operations, and is now known 'as "The
West Canada Mining Company."
Other mines are carried on by local associations.
The tracks belonging to the Government can be obtained on
the following conditions :
On
the payment of £25 the Commissioner of Crown Lands
will issue a license to any individual, authorising him to ex-
plore any unconceded land belonging to the Government for
Copper, Lead, Iron, Tin, Marble, Gypsum, Earths, or Minerals ;
such license to remain in force for a period of two years, at the
expiration of which he will be required to complete his pur-
chase, paying for the lands in fee, at the rate of six shillings
and threepence per acre. Further information may be obtained
a this office._
As manv peisons, othenVise well informed, entertain erroneous
opinions respecting the Government and condition of Canada,
the following facts are submitted for their consideration :
Canada enjoys perfect religious, social, and political free-
dom. Through her own Parliament she makes her own laws.
Her
.Municipal institutions are unrivalled; each county,
township, city, and village makes its own municipal laws.
There are no direct taxes, except those levied by the people
of the different municipalities on themselves, and these vsry,
according 'to the necessities of each municipality.
There are now in. Canada 1,871 miles of railway, being a
greater number of miles, in proportion to the population,
than any other country in the world. Steam-boats ply on all'
the navigable waters. Railways and steam-boats are sub-
jected to close and constant Government inspection. Roads
macadamised, gravelled, planked, and turnpiked, traverse the
country in all direction. Common schools afford free educa-
tion every where to the people, and grammar and high schools
and universities are also readily available to persons in moder-
ate circumstances.

Three years' residence in Canada entitles a foreigner to all
the rights and privileges of a native-born citizen. Aliens can
buy, sell, and hold land. A' complete system of registry is
established in every county, and undoubted titles to freehold
property are easily and cheaply procured.
Lands can be purchased from the Government in blocks of
50,000 acres, at one half dollar or 2s. Id. sterling per acre, in
lots of 100 or 200, at 70 cents, or 2s. 100. sterling per acre for
cash, or $1 00 (4s. sterling) per acre, payable in tour years.
The'lands are of all qualities, and in ail parts of the province.
Stringent laws for the special protection of emigrants are in
force. Government Emigration Agents are stationed at
Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto, and Hamilton •
;
and Crown Lands' Agents in all the connty towns, through
whom purchases can be effected, and reliable information
obtained as to pric,, and quality.
The' population in Canada in 1848 was 1,315,500, and in
1858, 2,590,700, showing that it nearly doubled in ten years.
The assessed value of real and personal property, as ascertained
by assessors under oath, has increased during the sa e period
in a much greater proportion than the population.
Emigrants proceeding to Canada, who are anxious . for
information as to routes, distances, and rates of conveyance to
their several plata-of-destination, can obtain the same by
aPPlYing to the-Agent, personally or by letter. •
