The states and the Canadas.

The CANADIAN AND AMERICAN From
TIERs.-The late report of Lord Dur
ham on the affairs of Canada, thus
contrasts the appearance of the Amcri-
can and Canadian shores:
ION the American side, all is activity
and hustle. The forest has been widely
cleared; every year numerous settle
ments are formed, and thousands of
farms are created out of the waste; the
country is intersected by common roads
canals and railroads are finished, or in
the course of formation; the ways of
communication and transport are crowd
ed with people and enlivened by carrag-
eS and large steamboats,. The observer
is surprised at the number of vessels
they contain; while bridges, artificial
landing places, and commodious wharyes
are formed in all directions as soon as
required.
Good houses, warehouses. mills, inns.
villages, towns, and even great cities,
are almost seen TO spring up out of the
desert. Every village has its school
house and place of public worship. Ev-
cry town has many of both, with its
township buildings, it's book stores, and
probably one or two banks and newspa-
pers; and the cities with their fine
churches, their great hotels, their ex-
changes, court-houses, and municipal
halls OF stone or marble, so new and
fresh as TO mark the recent existence of
the forest where they now stand. would
be admired in any part of the world.
On the British side of the line, with the
exception of few favored spots, where
some approach to American prosperity
is apparent. all seems waste and desc
late. There is but one railroad in all
British America, and that running be-
tween the St. Lawrence and Lake Cham
plain, is only % miles long. The an
cient city of Montreal, which is natur-
ally the commercial capital Of the Cana
das, will not bear the least comparison
in any respect with Buffalo, which is a
creation of yesterday
''But II is not in the difference between
the larger towns on the two sides that
we shall find the best evidence of our
own inieriority. That painful but I'M
deniable truth is most manifest in the
country districts through which the
line of national separation passes for
LOCO miles. There, on the side of both
the Canadas, and also of New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia, widely scatter
ed population, poor, and apparently I'M
enterprising. though hardy and indus
