The growth Of the province in cultivation and
population, although it falls much short of that
Of Upper Canada, has been very rapid for a
country whose soil has to be cleared by the axe
In ls40. the quantity of land improved aud uu-
der cultivation, was 1861 acres. In 1851, the
quantity was 643,954 acres, showing an increase
OF fifty per cent. The population, in 1884, was
1l9,477 in 1910, l56,l62: and in 1851, 193,S0O,
although portion OF territory, containing, in
Is4O, 2,lb2 souls. had been ceeded to the United
States by the Ashburton Treaty. These figures,
however. form very imperfect basis for esti-
mating the probable future growth OF the pro-
vince The ext. nsion of the railway system to
New Brunswick is only question of time and
VII, n this s done, the route both to Upper and
Lower Canada by the port of st. John in the
Bay of Fundy must become favorite one. The
harbor of ST. Johns Is described as spacious
with sufficient depth OF water for vessels of the
to twenty five feet, which effectualiy preventsits
being frozen over OF impeded by ice during the
winter. When connected by railway with tue
Canadian and United States lines, and with the
navigation of the great lakes, we shall see q
much larger amount of tonnage entering New
Brunswick direct from British ports, with car-
go, than at present; and the means will thus be
provided for diverting to the province larger
portion Of the tide of emigration from this coun-
existing state Of things we may state that,
whereas out Of AS, $50 tons of shipping, the to-
tai entered at st. Johns in 1861, only 1866
tons went direct from Great Britain, the re-
naming portion being driven to take outward
cargoes TO the West Indies, the States, and
other countries, previously to going to that
port for cargo. The clearances direct to British
ports were, In the same year, 347,757 tons, out
