Commerce and Resources of Canada. The
Editor of the Montreal Herald has published
in the last number of Hunts Merchants Mag
Gzlne, an elaborate article on the present con-
dition Of Canada, from which is gathered the
following particulars: The surveyed lands
of the province are estimated at nearly 3d.
100000 acres: the prices of crown lands are
reported to average eleven shillings and two
pence per acre: and the clergy reserves
twelve shillings and eight pence per acre ster-
ling; and the unsurveyed lands are almost
beyond calculation. The entire population of
Canada is l, 49l ,629 souls; Canada East con-
tanning 768, 1884, and Canada West 723, 292.
The per centage of persons who are deaf,
dumb. blind, and idiotic or lunatic, is said to
be higher 10 Canada than in any part of the
world, a fact for which no plausible reason
has ever been assigned. There is no public
provision for the poor, and the number OF pau
pers in Canada East is set down att in every
399. and IN Canada West atsI in every ], 1853.
Under the head of religious concerns, we find
that the Church Of England claims the great
est number of members next to them come
the PresbYterians ;; then the Methodlsts, and
then the Church of Romese So - -zss-
The principal agricultural productions of
Canada are wheat, OATS maize, potatoes, ma
pie sugar, and peas, though barley, rye, and
buckwheat, are cultivated to considerable
extent. The crop of Canada West for l847,
amounted to g2, SIC. 265 currency from the
other province no full returns having been
made. The manufacturing interests of the
United Province are represented by 66I fuliing
and earding mills, 100 6reweries, ia distille-
ries, 389 tanneries, l,740 asheries, 10 paper
mills, II oil mills and nail factories, excu-
sive Of many smaller establishments. The
nett revenue OF Canada in l647 amounted to
g5O6, $50; the expectations to the United
States during the same year amounted to
g464 69l and the returns from the custom
house for 1848 amounted to g772,432.

q Lamartine Insane lit appears from the
late Foreign News, that the iNustrioas LamaI-
tine, who mounted the whrlWind and rode
upon the storm" of the late French Revolu-
ton, has become deeply embarrassed apeeu-
niarily, and he is supposed TO have become
insane. Mr.. F. 'Gailardet, says the New York
Tribune, writes as follows to the Courier des
Etats of that City. His letter is dated Paris,
August 16: =....zr
last week Nj. de Lamartine had assem-
bled at his table, several ofhis intimate friends.
before leaving for the Cote dor, where he has
offered for sale his paternal estate, which for
tune does not permit him to retain. The au-
| thor of the $ Girondists seemed absent-mind-
ed, but this sad pre- occupation was easily al
tributed to the hard extremity 10 which he
was reduced, and to the physical pains of an
acute rheumatism which had prevented his
appearance at the National Assembly since
his election egssy-- vsz-, IRA s.~s-s
The ilIustrious invalid took soup with his
| guests, and then caused himself to be served
with it three times more in succession, as il
he had taken nothing at all. After thai, dur
ing the whole repast he wore a sad and dreamy
air, and touched nothing until plate of me
Uingues Ia creme was paced underhis eye.-
At the sight of this dainty his brow cleared
and he drew the plate toward him, exarned i
with look Of appetite, and then suddenly be
gan to rub his hands with the cream and la
, thered his whole face with it. This act Q
E arrangement struck with stupor the guest
and his fearful wife, who instantly RENDERED
all possible care to. the sufferer. A physi
0 elan was called, and all present were besough
3 to keep secret what after all may only be a
accidental and temporary alteration. Bu: i
] secret possible nowadays? This one ha
/ got ont like all the rest. In spite of the res
1 probability of the drawing rooms in which
. have gathered the report, prefer to doubt il
= authenticity The insanity of Lamaftin
: would be not only amisfortune. but sort {
dist onor for entire humanity, struck ia one {
its most admirable illustrations. Every il
{ teiligence would incline to msirust itself, an
! would feel itself in some short shaken by III
: fall of Lamarrine. a<5t

Editorial Difficulties 10 poverty,
delinquent subscribers, and duns--to which
most editors are subject--the greatest difficult
ty is to please the public. For so great is the
variety OF public taste and feeling, that had
the conductor of periodical paper as many
heads and as many pens as his paper has
readers, he could never hope 10 please all, for
they cannot please themselves. Does he speak
out in language plain and simple, it is mere
common place; the taste of the learned is not
gratiied, it is fl, only for the vulgar Does
he aspire to eloquence? The unlearned can
moi understand, and The learned regard him as
a pedantic fellow, dabbling in what he has no
pretensions to. Does he show his colors and
boldly contend for his ground He is 100 Sc.
we're Does he hide himself beneath mass
of unequivocal matter? He is temporisng
hypocrite. If he publish extracts that are bet
Ter than he can write, he has no talents of his
own to display and if he fills his paper, with
original matter, he might have given some
thing better from the works of others. If he
attempts 10 philosophise. it is dull and unin-
teFesting, and if he writes on plain familiar
subjects, everybody knew them before. Does
he attempt to instruct? He needs TO be in
slructed. Does he use his eadeavors to amuse
/ II is light and trif1ing. People generally are
fond OF being praised and one would suppose
this might satisfy them. But let an editor try
the expedient, and he will soon find out his
mistake for such is the power of an enemy
that no one will thank him for praising him
and every one will hate him for praising 9th
ers. Most people are fond of hearing thei
Deighbors .slandered, but if you make an at
tempt TO point out either the vices or follies o
mankind, every one will find something appl
cable TO himself. and here again you encoun
Ter the hatred of the whole mass Every per
son can tell you how TO conduct paper Il
please himself and, of course, TO offend eve
ry one else. These being stubborn facts
there is no alternative but for an editor Il
Eplease himself if he can, and hazard the con
sequences. If he do this, he will be certain
TO satisfy one, which is more than he can sa
if he tries 10 please all-Uptdnd Union. ali
