LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1824.

We lately mentioned, casually, the existence and objects
of a proposed Canadian Company ;' we shall now advert
more in detail to the objects which that Company have in
view, and o this cant* of proceeding we ire induced, by
en 11'1mo:tiding, that an official prospectus will be laid
beforedm Piddle. by Committee of Management, during
Coe cosine of rbe current week.

As Upper Cando, Piga, ip the course of a few years,
mot buteninsaiteof themes' valuable colonies posw-ssed by
thls eenniry.by from an unaccountable apathy, which scents
iohertut in the people of England with regard to all their
colonial possessions, as little known to the great mass of
the population of this country as the interior of Africa,
some short account of it is absolutely necessary as a preface
to our remarks.

From the River de Lisle to the Detroit River, a space
occupying about five hundred miles, the cultivated and in-
1-ahited part of Upper Canada extends, and is between the
41th and 42a patallel of north latitude—that is, between
the parallels of Rochefort and Valladolid, and along the
whole of tide space the climate is good, and the soil rich and
deep.
_ _ _

Whets the attenticin of the Government was first called
to the province, shout thirty years ago, a rough survey was
made of it, and the land was divided into townships—not
as in this, and other cultivated countries, separated by the
natural boundaries of rivers, brooks, or mountains—but,
as is uniformly the case throughout America, by straight
lines arbitrarily drawn from one point to another. These
townships were again, and in the same manner, divided
into lots of 200 acres each ; and this was done so regularly,
that, but for the streams which intersected it, the map of
any one township might pass for that of any other, and all
bear a very cline resemblance to a chess-board, the checkers
representing the different lots.
When Governmcnt granted these lots to different indi-
videals, two-sevenths of the whole were uniformly re-
served ; one seventh for the behoof of the crown, the pro-
*ceeds of which were to be applied as the Government
might see lit, and the oilier for the clergy ; that is, to pro-
vide the means of religious instruction to the community
(witheot regard to sect or persuasion), and to establish
selorediehmeghoeet the province for the instruction, at a
cheap rate, of the children of the settlers.
When the whole township was a wilderness these crown
and clergy reserves were of lithe value ; but, being chosen
in such a manner as that each reserve was surrounded on
every side by lots granted to private individuals, when
tench; were cut, hedges built, pens and mills established,
and the surrounding country brought into cultivation,
-these lots, originally valueless, rose in price, and not only
were they desirable purchases for the farmer, but, as uncul-
tivated patches plead in the midst of cultivation, they
stood in the way of improvement, paid nothing towards
forwarding the general pregress of the country, and were
considered as public nuisances, as the local government had
no power to sell or cultivate them.
The Canadian Company propose gradually to purchase
these reserves from Government, at a valuation to be esti-
mated by Commissioners, appointed by both parties, and
to sell them to farmers, taking a certain per centage of the
price in hand, and receiving, fui-`ne mu:tinder of tl.e at .m
due, six per cent. per annum, the legal interest of the
colony, anti retaining as security in their own hands the
title deeds of the 'cot ; so that they bectntic possesson, with
all the improvements that have been made, in case the
purchaser fails to fulfil his engagement.
From a thorough investigati ni of the plans of this
Company, and an intimate in owlelee of the country on
which these are to be put in practice, we are of opinion,
that for a person who will be satisfied with a fair and
steady return for the capital he invests, the Canadian
Company's is a desirable stork. For those who expect to
double their principal in a short titre, we cannot recom-
mend it. But we tilittle that Folic. people had better in-
