" An to learning, as a pursuit, it is yet a very enprolit-
ahle tune. 10 mercantile business persona of experience

/ ital. The field of business is increasing rapidly. The

The town of York, the capital of Upper Canada,
f om which the foregoing is dated, is, in itself, one
of the greatest proofs of the rising state of the coun-
t-}' ; for, in the 3 eta 1793, we are told that a soli-
t try !Alan wigwam scud where the town is now
huilt. In the succeeding spring of that year, the
runinl was marked out the future metropolis of
Vie country, and it now contaimi upwards of 2,500
inhabitants, and is fast increasing. It is the resi-
dence of the chief officers of the Government, both
civil end military, end affords rinioy of the more
rAined comforts and convenieto ie of life. A
newspaper is printed once w week, mid its markets
ore said to he well supplied with every necessary
from the adjacent lands, which are in a high state
of cult.vation.
