in .various parts of his body, with-which he was again visited
in the following year; and in the month of October last, the
Complaint returneitwith redoubled violence insomuch, that
his body-was covered from head to foot. o tru.ent was the
Disorder that he was obliged to be -wrapped in linen cloths,.

medical attendance for some months, apparently without re:
ceiving relief,. I was recommended to a trial of your Drops, a
small bottle..of .which'[ -purchased at Mr.- Sheardowies, 'and
in a very short time found the Complaint gradually decrease,

THE COLON) S.

crAK'XDA..— '

;;. -_:

(From the Quebec Gazettes to the 36th Sept.)

These Tapers bear melanaol)i evidence of the
alarm and. distress prevalent' in the UNITED
STATES,' from the 'Malignant Fever, Cvhich"rages'
in several of the divilons of the "Union.'
A great .number of ships had continued to at...
rive at Quebec, up to the 25th of September, the
weather being very fine:
The public regret on the death of the late Duke
of RtainfoND continues Unabated.

The following are Extracts from these Papers:—

" EMiGRANTS.-The English press, has of late
been teeming With publications on:the fittest plaCe
forthe v3estination of those of the inhabit-M.l;i- of
!he British Isles,,whompresent circumstances in-
duce or compel to einigrate.
" Mr. Bit beck. and his associates, together with
all the agents of the American land speculators,
recommend the United States as -by far the most
suitable ; Mr. Greece prefers Canada ; Lord Sel•
kit k's agents represent the Ited'ltiver as' an earthly
paradise. Others seem to be •ini-avonr of Botany
Bay and Van Pitmen's Land, and the Govern-
ment has given the preference to the Cape of Good
[-lope. The only thing Certain'iS,"that there is no
want of land for the reception of ail' those-who
may he disposed, sod have the means to emigrate.
Nor (lo we believe there is any difficulty in mak=
log the choice rim iris dot through the Ch-atinel
n(the press, that those who wish. to ernigticte,.
look for the informatioo which is to-guide
They are governed chiefly by the information
(chieh they obtain by. letters from those- of their
relations and friends win): -have preceded -them..
We believe the greatest number of.them go to the
United States, merely
,because there are hardly
any fainilieslin Scotland or Ireland, whO have
not some relations or acquaintances in that-Coun-
try, with whom:they are.in'correspondence; x;rit-
ten or oral. Of the 12,000 Blitish Emigrants
who have arrived at the Port of Quebec this sea-
son, we are persuaded,' that .more than one,balf
have found their way into'the United States. The
Saint Lawrence kas already become the channel
of of communication for those Emigrants who are
destined for the Western States, 'as it will, at a
future day, become one of the main Channels of
their trade.

tVe regret that greater facilities are not given
to British Emigrants to, settle in , this Province.
In Upper Canada, we,helieve that great improve-
tnents in this respect have been made by Sir Pe-
ret,grioe Maitland. -There, a foundation of British
inhabitants has been laid. If they thriVe, they •
will 39011 attract more. In this Province little or
nothing has been done.
" Generally speaking, -we- wish the Emigrants
to go wherever theymay prosper. They will fre-
.quently be led into error, but to whom can they
rust, but to their relations tied. friends ? 'So long
as the tide of Emigration of the industrious popo7
lation of Europe continues to flow, it will, bow,
ever, flow ,towards America, anti to North Ame-
rica. There .they will find their' kindred and
friends, security in the full enjoyment of their in-
dustry; a climate not greatly different from their
own ; a soil yielding, fair :returns ; and- a "'ready
communication with their native land, and those/
they have left behind.
•‘,l'Vhen we say North America, we mean to
speak of the Country North of the SLAVE STATES..
For in them, a British Agricultural population
would be as ill placed, as among the Negroel of
the C,,pe of Good I-loft and South America, or
the convicts of Botany Bay. • •
" The Upper Canada Gazette of the 26th Aug.
contains proposals for a further very extensive'
survey of ,land. -We copy the following descrip-
tion (Jibe position of the various. townships to
be, laid out, from .the-Surveyor-Generars notices
—` Two townships containing abOut 70,000
acres each in the • Western District, bounded on
the East by the Division line between the London
and 'Western Districts, on tire South by the Mo-
ravian Township, and -the Townships of Camden
and Chatham, on the West by the Shawanese
Township, and on the North by the Northern
boundary of the last mentioned Townships pro-
dueed On an East course until it interests theth--
;. vision line between the said District—Also for the
survey of the Shawanese Township,-&c.'. •
" Also, a tract of land to be surveyed into
Townships, containing 66,000 acres each, in the.
,Home and New Castle Districts, boundea'South-
trly by the Townships of Brock. Cartwright,Man-
vers and Emily, and Northly byTalhot river (which
empties itself into Lake Sitncoe) and by the Water
Communication of -the Rice Lake.' Also a
Township on tire River Trent ; bounded. Wester-
ly by the Township of Otanabee, and Easterly
by' the Township of Seymour, and its produced
boundary:' LikewiSe, a 'Township situated on
the 'South side of Kempenfelt Bay, and bounded
Easterly by the Western shore of Lake Sitncoe.'
" The -very 'flourishing condition of the new
townships in the interior, which have been 're-:
c-ently 'surveyed and granted .to actual settlers, is
a circumstance highly encouraging to those who
may be locoted in situations -still more remote.
Some of those townships which but two years
ago were an entire wil.zness, are now thickly
settled, and the inhabitants abundantly supplied(
with provisions and other necessaries of life,'
from the produce of their farms, which already
begin to assume. an appearance of neatness and
comfort not always to be perceived in t some of
the older settlements, where much more might
have been expected if the people bad been equally'
industrious.

" We are persuaded, that if the settlers in the

remote 'tthifiittps, instead of exhaustiog' their
lands by a SuccessiOn of -%Vhite'crops, as we fear
,many-7.01.the farmers 0.n..0nr. frontiers have done,
shalt direct their attention principally tq the rear-
ink'of livestock' arid to the cultivation of grass
and -other' grien• crops suitable' for the subsisting
and,fattening of their !-.stock, they -.WilTs find this
.plan in ,every Twins. of view, the-most profitable,
as the rearing of stock requites less I.bour, and
cattle are. more 'easily conveyed from-adistance
to market,. than grain or Moor. We have often
heard it asserted, that in Upper Canada, from the
very first settlement of the Province, Beef, Pork,
&c: have alwayS 'borne a high price in proportion
to grain and other. produce. We at least know
that this has been the case for several years, and
it is a fact not much to the
,credit of our old far-
niers that •ou'r markets are principally supplied
wit b: all writs of butcher's neat front the "Uoited
Slates, from whetlee. cattle,. sheep, IWO hogs„strre-
ly cannot be imnorted at a less expellee than they
might be b-roito on foot from the most distant
parts orour country to the same markets. Upon
the Tvhole, if our information respecting the soil,
and face of the country in.the. interior be correct,.
and no other obstacle,existS to impede the. settle.

tance from pug marketctowns, we may starftc-11-ope
