days.The scenery, especiaily of the lower part of the river, is very tine, The river itself, @ broad cxpause of water, is bordered by extensive farms aod clearances, relieved in the background by bilis and bighlands ; while numerous islands and promontories serve to fill up tbe picture.The upper part of the river is bordered by a succession of really fine.looking farms, and the farmers are, as a general j rule, well off.ay, barley, and root.crops seem eut, they nul only shingle the routs of their bouses, but ali four sides of them tou.FURLERIOTON, the Incal capital, n town of about 5,500 inhabitants, is beautifully situated on a lave] plat on the southern side of tbe river, and ie backed by & range of Ligh ground.aod the streets are bordered with ioe and large trees, which aid much to the mppesrance of the place.Although, with the exception of the Engliok Cathedral and Government House, there sre no very imposing bnldings or tise blocks in the town, yet there is a degree of neatuess and regularity everywhere displayed, which is very favorable to it.The exhibition building, now used by the 23nd Regiment, is & liner erection aud mor aeatly constructrd than soy in other parts of the Dominiou, THE UPPER AT, SOUS, | Navigation extends above Fredericton na far \u2018as Woudstuck, & town of about 2504 inhahi \u2018tante; and, during a great part of the s-ason, to Tobique and the Graud Falls.Two etraticre ure cogaged in (he tratlic.Tue river \"mail, do not draw uver three fect of water, and | umve stern wheels similar to those vÎteu seen on tue Musissippi.| NEW BRUNSWICK.À -hort description of Frelericton clossd my fast letter.[returned tn Sr.Jobn by the same i route ag that by which | left: vis, the rivèrSt, \"Juha.The brats on this river are of an excellent class.There are two Ines running in op- « position to onc another.each of which employs two upj cr-cabin steamers, leaving morning and evening.[ made a few remarks in reference !

course, an impediment to navigation; and such ! ports 8a that of Winsor, connected by milway \u2018with Halifax, and situate in the upper part of the bay, are left dry for the greater part of the day.Although this is put the case with the port of St.Jobn, yet the tide rushes out and in with such force as to render the move nts of vessels extremely d.flicult, aud accidents «sometimes occur.I aoticed an American suip lyiug bigh und dry on the rocks at the mouth of tle barbor, having been wri cked from this cause, As tLe action of the tide occurs about forty minutes later every day than tbe precsd- ing une, it will be seen that considerable caution must be exercised.There is 8 noteworthy fact with regard 10 the falls of the St.Joka at the city.When the tide 18 ou\u2019, these are from 18 10 20 feet high: but when it cows in, there is usually a fall the otier way, or upriver, consequently there is but one Lume during the day when vessels may sail out of the river into tLe harbor.The suspension bridge across the river near this point is à very fine structure, sr.:.proper is surrounded by sevcral large suburbs,\u2014 Carieton, Portland, Lower Cove, and Indian- tows : ail, with the exception of the last, are included within the city hits, There are a few tine dipgs built of brown freestone within the city, embracing stores, and ituste on the principal business sirvets; but the great ma jority, probuvly nive-voths, of tis buiidings are of wood.The city most certainly wants a good hotel, and, for an enterprizing aud competent man, there is really a guod opeaing.a mg trip up, after considerable trouble, | obtained a room in what is called the beet; but, on my return, if ie bad not been for the kindness of a friend whom I chanced to meet, | should possibly have had to make application fur a night's toduisg at the police station, The systemof water-works i St.John is excellent: and, with the use of gleam fire-engines, the facilities fur extinguishing fires are go great that rates of insurance are very low, The water is brought into the city from a stream, which is some reven or eight mies distant, Having thus given & short and general de- (acriptive outline of the principal city, [ will now j proceed to treat of the | COMMERCE AXD MANCFACTURES OF KEW BACNS- wick, a3 this is & main idea in writing this correspondence, and one which | hope may prove profits.Ne as Well as interestiog to 6 large number of the readers of the Himes.To consider what commodities, manufactures, B.Cramer, Vice-Presidents; J.P.Stockwell, Sec.Tren.Commitiee==J.Mackie, G.W, Leet, Albany, July 9, 1867.cu A.McCallum, Joseph Bonbell, and J.8.Good: an JOT % NOTES BY THE WAY.(From our own Correspondent.)

Minister of the Province of Quebec ; and, though this connection Was not then known, conversation naturally enough turned on the relative importance of the Local and Federal Legisls- 1 \u2018ures, and in this conversation some points of \u2018totetest to Lower Canada suggested themselves.\u2018There is no fear put that the English-speaking portion of the population of the Dominion of Cana- de will be well represented in the Federal Lugis- lature; but theru is great and reasonable fear that this element may not be adequately represented in the Local Legislature of Quebec.Wherever, therefore, & Lower Canada cupsti- tuency \u2018an return & Protestant, it should select ite best man fur Quebec, and its secund best for Ottawa.Ent, as it is not likely that the consent of the former could be obtained for such an arrahgenment, it fullows, almost as à matter of sourse, that the same man will have to be selected for both.And we may say here that, besides ability and integrity, which should be the firet requisites, & previous acquaintance with parliamentary business is a very important qualification.Without this, the greatest ability may be paralyz-d at the most important stage of business by some poiat of order ; or, at all events, may be greatly impeded by a general want of | knowledge of how to proceed.This difficulty | can, of course, be got over by a diligent atte.| tion to the daties of parliament; but it is a drawback, especially in a case like ours, where every man of the few Protestants that can be returned should be a tower of strength in bimeelf.Men who have a good record already should therefore be selected for the Local Legislature wherever practicable, and where such caonot be had, new men of bigh character should be diligently sought out.Our | French-Canadian fellow-citizens, urged by their | Bishops, are very properly intent on selecting: strong men, aud English Protestants hate much | greater need to do so.Mr.Cartier, who seeks | to be returned for the local as well ws the gene.\u2019 one service, and the Rev.Mr.Paton at the other, The church was well tilled both times, and the frequenters of Murray Bay are greatly pleased at the prospect of regular services, ne Well as n Sabbatli-schiool fur the children, of whom there are great numbers there.WISIBRE DU LOUP AND CACOUNA.A great number of passengers went off at Ri- rière du Loup, mostly for Cacouns, which wmust be well filled, aud which is too well knowy to need description.À gentleman who goes across from this point to the St.John River, where be rusides, says, Capada is but one farm wide between the St.Lawrence at Rivicre du Loup and the American boundary line.That is to say, there isonly s nsreow atrip of arable land along the St.Lawrence, sufficient for one farm in depth, and all the roët of the distance (some fifty miles) is bar.rey, Maine cut into Canada rather tuo closely when that boundary line was settled.The same gentleman stated that the St.Croix of the first treaty wag the Penobscot River, up which the boundary line would bave run bad its name not been changed, and the little St.Croix conse quently been sdmitied by our ignorant negotiators as the river meant.This fact, he says, was known to the Americans, and could have, been found out by the Eaglish had they es.minced maps in existesce in Paris.But, instead | of that, they based their negotiations on & map ! drawn by an Eaglish surveying-officer, in which the St.John River (the largest between the St.Lawrence and Mississippi) is represented as à trifling stream with 4 course of some Gfty or se- venty-fire miles.The English negotiators could not possibly, with such a map as this before them, bave imagined the importance of the clause placing the dividing line between the bead waters that flow into the Atlantic and those that flow into the 8t.Lawrence.The whole affair was strangely mismanaged at the time, to the great disgust of New Brunswickers and Canadians ever since.TADOTSAC.From Rivière du Loup we take a slanting course across the estuary of tbe St.Lawrence to the mouth of the Saguenay, at which lies Tadousac,\u2014the earliest commercial station in Canada, and, for a considerable time, the headquarters of the fur trade.That trade which was for nearly twocenturies the most important branch of business in Canada, afterwards , moved its headquarters to Quebec, then to Mon- ; + treal, and now it bas gone clear west to St.Montreal may undervalue it.'
