Some lighter woods are , aleo found in the colony. The timber: is gene- Tally of emall growth, In the valley and the Jow lands are found’ open tracts or marshes’ These are very fertile. The “barrens” occupy the summits of the high Jands, aad produce little beyond shrubs aud herbs of various kinds, One of the most remarkable features of the country is the abundance of Jakes or ponds, which cover ite surface, and are to be found even upon ita highest hills. Tbe island consains a0 river, and ecareely any streams, Its arca is estimated at 28,040,000 acres, ; The great staple of Newfoundland is its cod- fish, the pursnit of which is erther undersaken in Jarge versels in the ope» sea, upon the Grand Bank of Newfoundland. or else in boats mear the coast of the island. The Grand Bank is thas described in the report of Mr. Aadcews: The Grand Bank is the most extensive submarind @evation ye" di-covered. It is about aix hunired miles in length, aud in some ye five di |, OF two hundred miles, in breadth. The soaudiags on is are from twenty-five to ninety five fathoms.

Re- garded commercially, British America oecupies position wh oh rendera her of infinite alvaa- | tage to the comme: ce and greatness of the mo- ther country. Her territory, extending along the frontier of the United States, from north east te southwest, from Maine to Michigan—a distance of trom fourt-en to fifteen bundred milee—effectually checks the adoption, by Ame- rican Statesmen, of a prohibitory policy, or high tariff duties, against British productions. , The enforcement of suvb a poioy Would be ut- | terly impracticable, even if the attempt could | be sertously entertained for 3 moment. No system of cnatoms coukl eff-otually gudrd o frouitier so exte ded, and especially one com- posed of lakes and navigable rivers, common to ; the sbipping and corm+roe of the two countries, , having different systems of taxation. The United States, however, are yearly be- ~ooming less dependent of 9 customs revenue to meet the expenditare of their government. Their public debt is rapidly diminishing io amount; their manefactures and produce re- quire less protection. 98 machinery and solerice are incrensingly ayplied to promote their deve- lopement; and the ting is not pribably far dis- | taut when the interests of Britieh America and | the United. States wilt becumog.commerclally | identical. But, it may be asked-—What would be the re- sult of a hostile collision between two nations, thus intimately counested, and sdjoining cach other? »/e have heard: a’ great quantity of bias tering talk about arnexation by the United States of the British possessions in America. But tpis talk has come almost entirely from sources not Americao—from the organs of Irish | pstriote (?) thirstiag for an opportunity of con- j Verting “‘Hngland’s difficalty” into “Ireland’s opyorturity,” for revenge and bloceshed. The | really voluable and estiwable portioa of the United Stat:s people scout the thought of a juarrel to be decided by arms. between the | Brisich and the Inhabitants of North america and the great republic. Nothing could be so j Wicked, 80 ing to the best interests o ; both parties, and of the entire hnman race, a+ | such a@ fratricidal qaurrel. British America, | however, is not so powerless ug may be ims gined to resist aggression from the United States, and she Js not at all likely to iuvite av- nexation. In the first place, her position is one of great netaral strength to resiss such aggres- sion, An American writer says of it:-— fhe census of 1845; was 96,296 souls. Oa the first of January, 1852, it was ostimatd | st 125,000, of whom 30,000 were en- | gaged directly in the fisheries, The purcoaso | @f these, including oil, was estimated in 1851 at over £900,000 sterling. Thecoastof Labra- | der, north of Newfoundland, is also the resort @ albarge amount of tonnage sand fishermen, | @tiefly from Newfoundland aad Nova Scotia. The value of the quantity of seals and fish @aught is variously estimated at from £600,000 to £800,000 sterling per annum. When we come to regard British Americs as a whele, there are some considerations with re- spect to iva future which forcibly strike tho mind. ‘Throughout the various provinces there was in 1851 a tion close upon two milion five hundred souls owing allegiance to fhe British crown, extensive consumers of Britieh products, and employing alarge amoant @f Britich capitaland shipping, which promises an amazing increase, wiftn ia the coarse of a fow , the great works now in course of forma- eae completed, It mast be obvions to the mr wt.careless observer that the ese ef this Rew people in commerce, iu wealth, and in numbers {8 only jast commencing.
