IN eornpiling thil, the first Gazetteer of Canada West, 1 na8 induced to nnderrake the task by the great ignorance ivhich 1 found to exist respecting the Province, nut uuly anionpst persons in Great Britain, or newly-arrived emi- grants, but even amongst many of those who had been for ycars residpnt in the e~uiitr~-;and hmascertaining that the vanous. contradictory, andoccasionally false accounts given to eniigrants on their arrival, respecting distant loealities. frequentlp led them to alter their original intentions respecting their destina-, tion; and oîten induced them to leave the Province aitogether, and settlc in the United States. Shis 1 found ta be the case myself, on mg arriva1 in Canada, when 1 vas told that 1 should find the western borders of the Province a coniplete wildernesgthat on the River SL Clair, for instance, therc was a niarked diffcrence between the appearancr of the country on the American and on the British side-that on the former a!l was bustle and aetivity, fine farm and flomishing orchads; while on the Canadian side nothing was to be seen but uncleared forest-and that the Westein District aas ver)- sickiy. In travelling by stage. during tbe winter of 1844, from London to Chatham,one of my fellow passenpers, vho liad been for Bonne years in the Province, told me that he iras gning ta Chatham, froni whence he intrnded to cross over the ri~er to Detroit; and he wu astonished when informed, that to reach Detroit, he wonld haie to traveljfiy miles farthcr! Again, during the lafit year. 1 rernem- ber seeing amongst the articles in the newspapers wspecting the western rail- roads, Windsor and Sandwich spoken of being aoa the River St. Clair ! Respeeting the naturel productions and capabilitics of the Province, 1 have found aiso quite as much mismformation. hIang persona, for instance, have been quite surprised to heur that marble aas plentiful in the Province; and one individual told me, no a verg greai secrci, thnt he had mde whît lie eonsideied a most raluabls diswvery, that in the course of his explorations about Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay. he had discoverrd a qunmy of white marble, but he tliought the secret sa vnluable that he would not tell the situation in which he had famd it To collect materials for the first Gazetteer of any wuntry, (which in itself implies that it is a Qazetteer of a new country,) ma3- tmly ha called "the pu- suit of knuwledge under dificulties;" whicli niay be supposed to be the reawn, that although it in non three hundred years sincr the firsr settlement vas made in Canada, no one lias hitherta had suiûcient resolution to undertake and carrg throogh the task. These dicultios arise principnlly fmm thcabstructions ~ud inconveniences of travelling in remote plaoes, and fmm the düiiculty in mmy loealitiea of colleeting authentic informatiob The latter difaculty ia causednot somuch by the unwillingness of parties to gve what information they possess as from apathy on the subject; and 1 have found the most trouble in gaining information from those places that were lagging in tbe bacli ground-the in- habitants appearing to view me as one who had come "Io spy the oakedness of the land;" and being unwilling to have themselves and tlitir iieighboiuhoods dragged before the public. And in al1 sueh instances tlier: apprnred to he a great want of spirit and enterprise amongst them. In al1 tmse places, on the contrary, whrre the inhabitants were industrious, eaterprisir'g, and ilcsirous af aeeing their pwticular locality prosper, 1 have had no difficulry in arriving at any information 1 required. Froni those government and rlisirict officers: to whoni 1 have founù it neccssary, in the course of my inquiries, to spply for informatbn, 1 have iriiariably rreeivrd al1 the assist~ncein cheir poivei., (with two or three exceptionsanlg; one of thesc refuseduie the infoiruatiori I rcqiiired, on the ground that " he waa not oliliged to give informatiori to ;very une who asked for it." On mentioning his conduct to soine of Iiis townsnien, the reply 1 receivrd was, " you sliould have showii hiln a shilling, ;ind he woiild have given you the information fast enough." Anothrr Iiad the coiisciencc to refuse me a list of the qualified magistratcs in Iiis district, unlcss 1 paid him a quaiter of a dollar for each name! (153 in nuinber); and 1 wîs consrqueutly obligcd to procure the list froni the Secretary's Oüire, at hlontredl.) aiirl I takc this nppor- tunity of returning to them my best thunks for their kindncss and oourtesy. In roiiecting together such a mass of information, exrending "ver 50 grsat a su&ce of country, (and vhich information it was also LICCC3L,31'jr to COII~CIISC86 much as possible), it is nat iidikely that some feu in:icciiraciss rn~yhave etept in; but 1 belicre tbe work will be gcnerally allowcd to be ris corrrct as it wua possible for a wark of the kind to be made. Bome tvo or three places of srnail consequence have been necessnrily omitted, as Jlrrrickville, on the Rideau Canal, which 1 passed through in the night; and Bath, on. the St. Lawrence. which, on account of the badncss of the weather, 1 was unable tovisit. 1 wrotr to the postniaster of the latter place, (as the most pubiic man in a village), requesting him to favour me with the statistics of the villai:e; but he had not the politcness to answer my letter. In the prosecution of rny object, 1 have spared neither troiible, cxpense, nor personal fatigue; and, in the course of my trarels. 1 have wirihcd over moi.< than three thousand miles of groiuid, throiigh both tbe heats of' auinmer and the snows of winter; and hnving completed my laboiira, like a mariner starting on a voyage of discovery, 1 launch my barrir upun the vaters, trusting ta the rinds and waves of public opinion to waft it rafely into por6-(put the profits into hie packct, he means-PRINT. DEV.),-with the confident erpectation that my exertions tomake the Province better known and appreciatcd, will be supported ss they shonld be, by al1 who muat nece;sarils, direetly or iililirectly, beneiit by my researches.

Kingston and Guananoque ; and were known under the name of the Yississagas of the Bay of Quinto. ln 1826 & 27, hetween Iwo and three hunditd were settled on Graoe Island. in the Bav of Qiuntè, six miles fiom Belleville, where they coinrnenced planting, and where schools iyere'established by a W'ealeyan Methodist iiIiasionary for their instruc- tion. On this island they resided eleven years, suhsisting hy agriculture and hunting. Their houses were erected partly by their own labour, and partly at the expeuse of tho 3Ietliodist Misaionary Society ; the nirmber, at length, amounted to tventy-three; besides which, they had a cammodious building for rel~gioussenvioe and schools, another mm for an iniint school, o hospital, n smithy, a shoemaker's shop, and a building foi joiners' and cabinet work.

Moeh hns bern wntten .respecting a spring in the neighbourhood, whieh is said to heze over durine the, hotteet part of the snmiaer, and to thaw in the winter. When in the neighbnurhood during the last winter, 1 was unable to visit the spot, but 1 was infonned by a gentleman living nt Beamsville (and who 1 believe to be gond authnrity), that he had visited the place frequently, and tbat there was in reality no apring uihatecer thm. He stated, that the supposed spring was situated in a cave, Li the aide of the monntain, the bottom of which is about four feet behiw the level of the pund : that the only water in the cave is that deposited bp continua1 drippings from the mfabove; that he has frequently visited the ca-ve in summer, and has on auch occasions dug lumps of ice out of the crevices in the rocks which form the flmr of the eavc. That he has on dl such visits foiind the bottom of îhe cave thickly eovered with dead Leaven (which must have been blown in). and which he has had to remove hefore getting nt the ice ; aiud he wpposeü the ice to be formed during the winter. and preserved thmngh the summer, as in an ice-bouse. But he hm ncwr visited the place during the winter, to racertain the fact, nor does he know any one who has. This, however, seems a rational explanation of a circumstance that nt first view woiild appear rather a 8iuplar phenomenon.
