Canadian Goverment that they would be willing to „settle
Emigrants in Canida, provided they could obtain large 'Mets
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
Tracks, can be seen at this office.
These tracks extend chiefly along the shores of Lakes
Fiiirdn and SuPerior. They are helievedlo be of great value.
The Wellington oppet Mine (Lake Unroll) has beet success-
fully worked by a London Coitipany for neatly ati. years. This
pompany have recently obtained a New Charter to enable
them to extend their operations, and is now itntriliii as ' The

Her Municipal institutions are unrivalled; each county,
tialviithip, city, and village makes its own municipal laws.
There are no direet taxes, except those levied by the people
of the different municipalities on themselves, and these vary
according to the necessities of each municipality.
Theta are now in Canada 1,871 miles of railway, being a
greafei cinmber of miles, in proportion to the population,
than any other cannery in the world. Steam-boats ply on all
. the navigable waters. Railways and steam boats are sub-
jected to close and constant 'Ooternment inspection. Roads
macadamised, gravelled, planked, and tttatpiked, 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
holy, 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. 10. sterling per acre, in
lots of 100 or 200, at 70 cents, or 2s. 104 d. sterling per acre for
easl), or $1 00 (4s. sterling) per acre, payable in lour years.

obtained as to price and quality.

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 a 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 placei of destination, can obtain the same by
applying to the Agent, personally or by letter.
