THE SELKIRK SETTLEMENT

Sir George Simpson has recently return
ed to Montreal from this extreme British
settlement, on the Red River of the North.
az it 10 called. The Montreal Gazette,
says: 90 t-'.'' aa' -'-s' 20
"Hs reports favorably of the cosdition
and prospects Of the settlers in those north
Iern regions. The agricultural population
of the Red River settlement amounts Ut
present, We learn, 10 more hss+e,000 ~
|habitants, Of whom 5000 are h~eussholders,
owning 100 acres ofland each. Ten thou
sand acres are under cultivation, yielding
the richest crops from a smaller amount of
labor, than the same portions Of the earth
demands in any other part of the world.
We cannot doubt its becoming, at some
future day, the focus Of q large and imPor-
tant population. Endless commons, in the
nature Of prairie land, invite the pillow,
which, for hundreds Of miles may tace its
Ifurrow without encountering an obstacle.
Countless herds of buffalo, and game Of all
kinds, abound ; and in addition to all these
resources, fish might be taken from the
lakes and rivers, for six months entire sub.
l~sistence Of the settlement annually. The
Temperature and climate are the same a. in
these parts. People, we are informed,
rarely die in these quarters; and disease ID
at such q discount that q single medical
practitioner, to q population Of 5000, has a
lizard battle to make . living out of his medi-
Ical calling. 10 no part Of the world il q
|laboring population, ,of the same ds'cr'p-
ton, 10 sgreatsr degree Of comfort 49,"
The British have agarrison Of 400 troops

ants Of certain Scotch colonies Who were
there transported BY King Gsorgs ILL.,
