"The above gratifying examples speak loudly for the industry of the
settlers; and where hired labour can, with difficulty, be obtained at a
high remuneration, notwithstanding the yearly increased ratio of new
comers, and, moreover, where all are diligently employed in the onward
march to happiness and independence, we may truly be thankful to a
superintending Providence, that prosperity is in the ascendant."

Mr. Lizars states in another part of his Report, that the population of
the Huron district

In 1841, was . . . . . 5,600
In 1847, six years afterwards 16,641 increase 11,043
In 1848, one year do . . . 20,450 " 3,807
In 1850, two years do. . . 26,933 " 6,483

According to this ratio of increase, we may safely infer the population
at the present time (1852), to exceed thirty-two thousand souls; an
increase almost incredible; as, upon reference to Smith's Work on
Canada, it will be found that the Huron district has made more rapid
progress since its first settlement in 1827, than Lower Canada did in

One-half of the emigrants who settle upon land in Canada, and adopt
cultivation as their employment, are weavers, tinkers, tailors,
sailors, and twenty other trades and professions. It must be
