The emigration may therefore, be considered as on
the whole satisfactorily healthy. Including cabin
passengers and pas engers from the lower provinces
the whole number landed ut Quebec was FL ,274. IL
IL calculated that OF these there went to the United
States 500; but on the other hand, tina. there en-
tered Canada from the States not less than 10000,
making the addition TO the population Of Canada
during the year 25774: OF whom IL Is supposed that

lower part OF the province has been facilitated by the
opening Of the Grand Trunk Railway from Montrca

three four days) in from SO TO 40 hours In respect
TO the prospect for emigrants TO Canada during the
present year the account given by the immigration

eDce TO the prospects OF 1885, he says II regret TO
ray that many OF the causes to which had occi-
sion TO allude In my report Of last year commune 70
exist more particularly In this section Of the pro
vince, where the labor market has not only been
tremely depressed, but the immigrants had great
difficulty throughout the summer In procuring suit
able employment. In thu western section OF the
province, TO which nnetenths OF our emgrants pro-
coed, prospects and appesrances are, on the whole,
much more favorable In confirmation OF this
opinion, Mr.. Buchanan annoxes the following re
port from Mr.. Hawke, the immigration agent for
Western Canada:-"With reference 70 the prospect
of employment for unsked laborers during the
