Just arrived from london, c. w., and located at

agreeable business the traveller than to pen
narrative Of what he and hears provided always,
that it is worth seeing and hearing Tho distance from
Hamilton to london is eighty mics and from London to
Toronto hundred and twenty miles and these two
hundred miles present lovely rural picture Of Canadian
scenery and of autumn in Canada. London is on the
direct route to Detroit and is the headquarters for the
Royal Canadian Rifles There about eight hundredsta
toned there at present and they are being drilled to
than their hearts CONTENT They drill on the parade
generally with closed gates and the nquring
traveller will find very little crafty his sight Of the
Royals satisfy his inquirng mind You are however
privileged with Peerng at them like peeping Tom
through bars and gates and that suces to winess
the evolutions Of the Royals who considered equal

london is regarded very commanding and important
military position for the defence of the extreme west OF
Upper Canada and this accounts for its being the head
quarters Of the Rifles An exodus OF negroes from Canada
West has already taken place, and it is presumed
that others, in hundreds will follow these ebony EN-.

OF raising cotton, only with this difference, that they
viii have other masters than Americans 1t is said they
go out under the favorable auspices Of The British 90

count of being situated The Lake Eric Shore in posi-
ton very suitable for offensive defensive operations
is about twenty miles from Windsor which IA opposite
Detroit Sir Edmund Head issued general order tho
militia OF Canada as preparatory farewell and Part OF
that general order is very significant the present
time He cAhorted them not to sacken in their drill and
practice o their rifles and expressed his belief that the
militia of Canada was efficient enough aud capable Of
ssting any invasion, and defending Canada. Surely Sir
Edmund must have been ''gassg the Canadians in his
vacdctory order or he must have neglected consult
the late census returns of Canada which give the fol-
lowing report, viz
