Lower Canada are positively to be sold by auction on
Thursday, June 2nd. There are four district properties,
comprising 132,000 acres, with numerous buildings, im-
mediately on the banks of the Bay of •Chaleurs, where the

of emigration and enterprise this particular spot offers the
strongest inducements for the establishment of a British
Settlement, the lands being well covered with timber, of
the finest growth, and the profits arising from the fishery
will soon enable the owners to cultivate the lands, and add
its produce to the exportation of the fish, which commands
the best market in the Mediterranean.

of success, all the necessary details and arrangements being
prepared for immediate action ; all that is required are
enterprise, some little knowledge, and money, but not
much of the latter is now necessary.
