daily during the summer months. There is also a Land Route on

We are indebted for the information which follows to the first Report of the Board of Registration and Statistics, published by order of Parliament in 1849. This Board consists of the Inspector General, Receiver General, and Provincial Secretary, and the Secretary to the Board is Mr. W. C. Crofton. On the last gentleman, we presume, the labour devolved of digesting and arranging the mass of interesting matter before the Board; and, considering the difficulties in the way of all first attempts of the kind, we congratulate the country on its having been so efficiently and satisfactorily performed.

POPULATION OF CANADA.

There has not unfortunately been any census taken of Lower or Eastern Canada since 1844. In that year it showed a total of 690,782, and the result of a series of four independent calculations based on the progressive increase of former years, shows a total in 1848 of 768,334, which is distributed thus among the Counties.

In Western or Upper Canada the census was taken in 1848, and showed a total population of 723,087, distributed among the Districts thus.

So much has been said of the fertility of the United States that the following table will not be without interest. It shows the pro portion of each kind of grain raised to the population in the United States and Canada,-that of the United States for 1848 being taken from the Report of the Commissioner of Patents, and being merely an estimate.
