In another letter I shall describe Lake Huron and GeorgienfBay as far up as Sault Ste. Marie, and will point out the great inducements a route in that direction offers to persons proceeding to the northward, the distance not beiag more then half that pogad the south shores of Lakes Michigan and Erie. Before I conclude this, however, I must give a brief account of a féte champetre given on Tuesday last, by Sir Hew Da! ple and the officers of the 71st regiment, which is stationed in this i- son, for the gratification of the fair readers of the Herald, at which were present upwards of three hundred of the inhabitants of Toronto, f ‘The party began to arrive on the which had been selected near the Humber, about two o’clock, and by four there was a “ full attendance.” The ground chosen was a few rods from the river, and the cleared place was about eighty or ninety yards in diameter, surrounded by |, trees and shrubbery, in the rear of which were the more stately oaks and elms of the forest, where foli: at this distance from the seaboard is peculiarly dark and refreshing to the eye, and has all the richness and luxuriance of the South. Tents were tastefully disposed on the cleared ground, giving it the appearance of a military encampment; and the scene was enlivened by the music of the en- tal band, and the notes of the bag pipe, the favorite national musical entertainment of Scotland; but which to be perfectly eciated, must be heard among the groves and g] of the country. At five o’clock the guests sat down to a sumptu- ous dejeuner, under a grove of trees forming an elongated arch, impenetrable by the rays of the sun, and almost of sufficient thickness to have re- sisted a shower of rain, had it attempted to intrude upon the afternoon and evenings festivities. This was followed by the quadrille, “the waltz, and the gallopade, wntil the shades of evening drew on, when almost every shrub and bush sent forth a brilliant light from well arranged and variegated lamps. ie moon, having at length attained a high position in the heavens, eventually warned the gay throng of the lateness of the hour; and on their retiring, the ground was occupied by the men of the regiment, their wives and silniities, who for some time keptup the reel, the highland fling, and other Scottish dances; to which the bag- pipes lent their enlivening and willing aid. The Seventy First is a Scotish regiment, the officers and serjeants having the sash across the left shoulder, instead of round the waist, as is usual in the ermy; the former, when in full dress, have a dark silk plaid hanging over the left shoulder, giving them a most graceful and chivalrous ap- pearance. The bag-pipers belong to the regiment, and wear the full highland costume; they are fine looking, athletic men; and, as is nsual with High- landers, tread the ground with a martial and im- posing air, and as it were, spurn it from beneath theireetf. E.W. ‘Toronto, Sept. 9, 1850. Erte Railrord, en roue to Toronto— Lake Huron and Georgian Boy—Great Manitoualin Island— Sault Ste. Marie, foot of Lake Supertor—Prin- cipal Rivers and Shores of Lake Huron—Copper Mines, §c. While crowds of American citizens, and others, are every summer seeking relaxation and amuse- ment at the various springs and fashionable water- ing places in the United States—at the Falls of Niagara, or by visiting the cities of Montreal and Quebec—very few are aware of the immense amount of enjoyment of the highest order that may be found at no great distance on the inland oceans of fresh water, with which this continent abounds. In a former letter I stated, that by taking the de- lightful route of the Erie railroad, alternately skirting or crossing the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers, that flow through the Stete of New York, or traversing the slightly elevated country through which it passes, and reminding the European tra- veller of the scenery of the Khine—thence dowa Seneca Lake--a most delightful sail of forty miles z-and then further on, fifty more by railroad to Rochester, thence tak: one of the steamers which run one day to Toronto--this city may be reached in thirty-six hours from New York; whence steges run to Lake Simcoe, which is navi- — by excellent steamers, and also Georgian Bay, a8 far es Sault Ste. Marie, at the foot of Lake Superior ; and { shall now perform my promise of briefly describing Lake Huron, of which Georgian my, is the northern extremity. tthe Pulls of Niagara a range of hills com- mences, which sweep round the head of Lake Ontario, end after arriving at the township of Oale- don, about thirty miles northwest of Toronto, there separates ; one branch poor | to the northeast, and after passing to the eastward of Lake Simcoe, extends into an beg ia country at the north The other and main branch, runs to the northwest, forming the promontory which separates Lake Huron proper trom Georgian Bay, and again rises in the Menitoualin islands—four in number—that interpore, and form what is called the North Chan- nel, which extends from the east end of the Great ee island to the nearest point of Sault Ste. arie. ‘This is described as a very important and beau- tiful islend, its northern extremity being ia the forty-sixth degree of north latitude; the eigh'y- tecond and eighty-third degrees of west longitude ing through the centre. It is eighty-four miles ig, With an average breadth of twenty, and con- tains an area, exclusive of its numerous bays and inlets, of sixteen hundred square miles. In this island there are several minor lakes, .he largest of which is in the form of an hour. ginen, expanding at the ends to the width of ten miles, and contract- ng in the middle to one; the entire length of the lake being ten miles, and containing a total area of water of fifty-five square miles. This lake is situ- ated one hundred and fifty feet above the water at the nearest shore of the island; and a question of some interest arises, says Mr. Murray, the Assist- ant Provincial Geologist, whence it derives ite sup- ply of water, there is only one small stream emptying iat rom the southwest, from which it receives the only visible and eeemly supply 5 while it furnishes sufficient water for three small brooks that fall from it to the south, west and north; the first of which discharges itself into the main lake, after supplying several small ponds in its course ; the second, afier feeding a succession of smail lukes, falls into Beau Bay, while the third, flowing to the north, meets the lake in that direc- tion, alter surplying two minor lakes, one of which is two miles in ee with a breadth of helf a mile. That the princioal lake draws much of its supply from some subterranean source, is rendered more evident from the fact that when the survey- ing party were there in August, 1849, the level of the water at that time was higher than it had been during the freshets of spring. The same inquiry, as to the origin of the immense freth water seas of this continent, t have occurred to every one, who has ed them, end who has given to the sub- ject a moment’s consideration. Lake Simcoe, which is seven hundred and four feet above the level of the sea, and which, in some places, is of almost fathomlees deep, de: apparent supply from four or five comparatively insigailicant rivers that flow into it from its northern and eastern bounda- Ties, and from Balsam Lake, whose sammit level is ndred and fifteen feet higher; it pours out a large volume of water through the river Se- verD, at its northeastern extremity, Georgian bay, and which has a fall of one hundred and four feet. * The Great and other Manitoualin islands divide Lake Huron into two parta, the southern portion having a circumference of seven hundred and enty lineal miles, with an erea of fourteen thou- nd ; the northern portion berg again divided into eastern und western sections, the former being called Georgian bay, and extending from its most easterly point, within twenty miles of Lake Simcoe, to the ¢astern terminus of Great Manitoualin island, a distance of one hundred and twenty miler, with a breadth of fifty, and containing one thousand square miles of water surface ; the other, exclu- sive of the numerous islands with which it is rea of seventeen hundred, making the entire area of Lake Huron upwards ot twenty-one thousand square miles—the depth of water, neat the promontory already referred to, ing from four hundred to five hundred feet. It is threngh the latter channel that the waters of Lake Superior discharge themselves, after passing Sault Ste. Marie, its level being twenty-one tect above the Huron; and which, passing off through the St. Cleir end Deiroit rivers, find their way into Lake Erie, by a dcecent of from forty to fifty ‘and thence through the Welland canal, or itating themselves down the Falls of With thoee of Lake Ontario; 4 throvgh the river and Gulf of St ence, reac the ocean, over whose bosom is transported the ge dvctions of the Far West, to the shores of purepe were isa marked difference between the rock formation on the northern and more easterly shores | of Lake Huron.

The Lord Bishop read the communion service and pose and Dr. Bethune the epistle, after which the Lord Bishop preached a sermon, the text being taken from the ninth chapter of St. Luke, and the latter part of the fifty-seveath verse— rd, I will follow thee whithersoev.r thou goest.”” dnd age was coe a ee fe poeste = ever pronounced in a clear and penetratin: voice, 80 that not a word could have escaped the a in the remotest part of the large ant chureb.

This portion of the sermon caused evident emotion amongst many of the congregation, who felt, like the Bishop, that the; too were strangers in a strange land, far from the homes and graves of their fathers. —Monireai (Ca) Courier, Sept. 7. ‘The Crops, The Concordia (La.)
