2 VIRGINIA BY EX-PRESIDENT TYLER. Interesting Ane: dotes of the Early Founders of the Colony—Sympathy of the Virginians with the Republican Movement in France— ‘The Sedition Law—Contrast between Rich- | mond tn 1808 and 1858—Sectal Souvenirs— Celebrated — Virginiau»—The Richmond Bor, &c., &e. | The following is the text of the interesting lecture delivered by ex-President Tyler, on Thurs tay night last, before the Richmond Mechanics’ Institute:— GxxtuexxN—I am here to-night in compliance with your repeatedly urged request that I would deliver a locture before you in aid of your praiseworthy undertaking. You | have kindly left the subject to my own selection; and memory—the privilege of age—carries me back to the | days of my youth, when for the first time T walked your streets, looked upon your beautiful eminences, and formed some acquaintance with the men of that day, who have long since “travelled the road to dusty death,” leaving their names and high deserts deeply impressed on the mind of Richmond. My theme to-night is Richmond and its memories. A brief glance at the early history of the site on which the city stands will neither be uninstructive nor unprofitable. The first daring adventurers in the set tlement of Virginia lost no time in exploring the river on whose shore that noble, band had cast their hopes and fears. They visited the great Werowanee, who by his arms and policy had subjected to his sway the numerous tribes who inhabited the tide water region, at his chief residence, now the hospitable home of Mr. Robert Mayo, below the Falls. That residence, bearing the mame of Powhatan, attracts the attention of all who travel up and down the river, and may be regarded as constituting o: of the features, and by no means the least interesting 01 of the city. The falls of the river were for many y the ultima thy the early adventurers. Formidabie tribes of savages ranged over the country above this locality, and these falls, whose evening echoes constitute the nightly tattoo of the inhabitants, lulling them to repose after each day of toil, and whose morning resound. ings make their reveille, summoning them to their daily labor, formed a barrier over which the white man for long Years dare not pass. The first actual settlement 1 the neighborhood of which we have a well authent cated account was that of Nathaniel Bacon, whose red on the south ‘by the Stream universally known as Bacon's Quarter Brancl: on which is now settled a frugal and indust population, which is embraced within the expai | limita of the city, At that early day the colonists wer thrown into violent agitation by reason of the roads madi by the Ind and shockingly which the Governor, Sir Wil smother, broke out into a flam Despite the Governor's ext his proclamations denouncing | dertake to prosecute war against the Indians without his consent, the people hastened to embody themselves into military corps, and unanimously elected Nathaniel Baco: as their chief, to lead them against their border enemies. Igo no further into the history of those times th: say, that ultimately that talented and indom with his patriotic band, encountered the of the Indians almost within sight of this city, and took o! them a terrible retribution. Thejr blood crimsoned the watere of the stream on the margin of which the batt) was fought, co that from that day to this that stream has borne the name of ‘The Bloody Run,” and will for ages yet to come constitute a memorial of the victorious | and bis intrepid band. The wayfarer, wander banks of that stream, looks in vain for the evidences of that bloody day. Nearly two centuries have passed away since then; and instead of treading on dead men’s bones the wild violet is pressed beneath his footsteps, the stream runs limpidly beside him, and as it steals quictly its way to mingle with other waters, dimples its surface with smiles and yghingly on. And yet that bloody da » power of the Indian, who from that yen tiess current to where be is destined to sink embered in th vorid grows old fable, or only m thstanding this signal de coming irom a distance, belonging to p , often stole in upon the set tlements and rendered them insecure.

TL need not dwell on the stirring incidents which were here enacted goon after Virginia had begun ia earvest to buckle on her mor for that conflict with (he parent country which eventuated in independence. The old ‘Church wherein the General Assembly beld its j—the edicts which thence issued against mitrule and arbitrary sway— the high resolves against tyranny and oppression—the romulgation of Virginia independence in advance of the ce- ebrated Declaration by the’States, through the adoption of mulgated; and at an after day, when “the battle had been fought and won,’ the assembling here of that great con- | vention which had to determine the future of Amorica, in the adoption or rejection of that constitution under which 1 has been so tar our happiness to live. These things are of the schools they are written, and every boy is familiar with them. Great incidents give immortality to places. Time passes by on rapid wings; generation succeeds gene- ration, and cities and empires crumble into dust; and yet the places where great deeds have been enacted live in the memories, and after the lapse of centuries the pil- grin from distant lands visits them as consecrated spots, and their dust is regarded as sacred from profanation: And what spectacles could have been more au than those to which I have alluded. The first led way to the disfranchisement of a continent—the last gave the assent of Virginia, after a severe contest (there were giants in those days) between its advocates and opponents, to a government and bond of union for the States, which, undisturbed in the harmony of its motions by sinister in- fluences, might, like the planetary system, revolve forever in its proper orbit, giving light, and beat, and prosperity, and happiness to countless millions. Nor need I dwell on incidents of a still later day, occurring during the second Presidency of the United States, when party spirit ran mountains high, and mingled with its waters the bitterness of personal enmity. The French revolution had broken out, and like a tremendous earth- quake bad shaken the foundations of political systems which had withstood the storms of centuries. The stir- ring strains of the ‘‘Marsellaise’’ resounded throughout France, and were re-echoed from America. A deep sym. pathy was felt for the country that had aided America in ii ndence. The gallant conduct of au, of De Grasse and Vilominel, men who had assisted our fathers in the day of their severe trials, was written on the hearts of the people in letters of fire. France was now battling against all Europe combined, and it was but natural that uld have possessed the sympathies of this country. gave more sympathisers with unrestrained enthu. siasm, and no place furnished stronger evidences of fra ion of teeling than did the city of Richmond. The Larayette, and other gallant Fre President, who was supposed to be inimical to France, was assailed by the p as in private ci , und in all public assemblies, as well with a bitterness of invective rarely if In a moment of weakness Congress gave way to the adoption of the Sedition law, and the press, $0 far from being restrained, seemed rather to increase in its bitterness. The government resolved upon prosecutions against the most violent. Judge Cooper was put on trial for libel, in Philadelphia; and Mr. Lyon elsewhere. Nor did Richmond go unscathed: Callender, who edited The Prospect Before Us, na style of abuse never surpassed, and with Whom, personally, no one really sympathised, was thrown into jail. The law of libel, it was said, was made to be more potent than the letter of the constitution which guaranteed the freedom of speech and of the press, and the fires of popular indignation blazed brightly and teecely. I cannot here forego reiating an anecdote which lL received from the lips of Governor Mahlon Dickerson, of w Jersey, as illustrative of the violence of the times. phen Thompson Mason, then a Senator from the State ia, attended by the enthusiastic Dickerson, then a young man, to attend the trial of Judge Gooper. They took ‘their seats ‘on the right and lett hand of Cooper at the bar, and whe the jury returned their verdict of twenty-four hours im prisonment and a fine of $1,000, they each, rising in the court, hook hands most cordially with the prisoner.

The following morning Dickerson prepared and published in Dream's paper—the Aurora—the following reply to Mr. Fenno’s article — Mr. Fenno is evermore committing great mistakes—but of all the errors into which he bas yet fallen, that tn his paper of yen terday ts the greatest.

These, with an un calculating boldness, joined in the outery against the ad ministration. They were fervid in their aavocacy of the to have built Belvidere as his place of residence, and to bave had a store and a mill lower down, in what is now the city. He was a valuable acquisition to Virginia, and a man of greut thrift and enterprise. He manifested a far Teaching sagucity in seizing upon the advantages which this location offered. He doubtless; foresaw in the future what is now realized—a large and populous city springing up on his domain. That he was aman of great thrift is not only proven by the large possessions ho left behind, but established by bis correspondence, preserved in the first and second volumes of the Virginia Historical Register. ‘A postacript to one of his letters will sufficiently attest this. He writes to Thomas Grendon, by a singular coincidence, “ per the Jack Tailor,’ and in a postscript says: ‘+ Jack Warren and Will. Randolph, our worthy burgesses, frequently drink your hea’ Pray be mindful of my boots and shoes, &c."’ He dealt largely in tobacco, and carried on a successful trade with the Indians tm skins and furs, and thereby preserved the peace better than by the use of guns and gunpowder. Such was the original set tler of the city of Richmond—a man of bold and hardy ‘adventure, possessed in the beginning of ample means, and greatly enlarging them dy thrift and cconomy—often the representative in the House of Burgesses from th County of Henrico, and for some time treasurer, as it is pinbstone iy the public burial ground at al province.

The tri r was blended into a cockade, and worn openly in the streets and displayed in public processions. The advocs tes of the administration mount ed, on their part, the black cockade; and thus was engen dered a bitter feeling of hostility between mea, waieh went nigh to destroy all social intercourse. But the refugees from Irdland became objects of govern mental vengeance. The Alien law had been passed under the apprehension of a French invasion—an army o 6,000 men was created with a view to upset it, and a order was given to remove ali foreigners from contiguit to the seaboard, lest they should play the part of spies and hold improper intercourse with the expected enemy — an enemy that never came, and who already had it bands full with the combinations that existed against it among the crowned heads of Europe. Merewether Jone tited the anti-administration paper called the Examiner while be did not fall under tke pramaunire of the Se dition law, be co-operated boldly and manufully with the pponcnts of the Alien and Sedition laws, and maintained the tri-color against the black cockade.

I pass over these incidents hurriedly. At the time of their ¢ was amere child; and they ec stream of tradition. In giving memories of Richmond, I could not pass them over in silence, I hasten to speak Richmond as I knew it, and of some prominent men as I found them, when, at the age of 13. Joined my venerated father, who Was at the time Governor ‘of Virginia. The population of the city did not exceed 5, n 1808, The surface on which the city stood was untamed and broken. Almost inaccessible heights and deep ra vines every where prevailed. The capitol square was neda indigesta que molet. and was but rudely, if at all, en- closed. ascent to the building was painfully labo rious. The two now beautiful valleys were then unsightly guileye, which threatened, unless soon arrested, to extend themselves across the street, north, £0 a8 to require a bridge to span it, Ifa tree had sprang up in the it obtained but a scanty subsistence from the sterile carth. Soil, there was little or none. The street west of the square was impassable for much of the way, excopt by. @ footpath. The Governor's bouse, at that time called the Palace, was 8 building that either aspired to architectural taste ip its construction nor consulted the comfort of its occupants in its interior arrangements. A wooden enclosure separated it from the Commons. It was some years after removed, to make way for the present edifice, which, I suppose, it would be re- garded as little short of high treason to call by its former pame, although “right royal meu” have occupied it for many years past brick row, now known as the Main street, whi terminated at the cross street below the American, and had it# origin near the market place, was the chief pride of the city. The streets were improved, and ead was the fate of the unlucky wight who, otherwise than on borecback, undertook to pass through the lower pert of the city. Nor was it for many years after that the band of laborers went busily to work in the improvement of the city. Dr. John Adains, whose name should ever be held in grateful remembrance by the people of Rich- inond, during his Mayoralty, graduated the streets, regu lated the ascenta to its beautiful hills, and in many particulars embellished and adorned the city. He was a gentieman of refined taste, of much erudition, and highly cultivated manners. At the time of which I have been speaking there were but three churches w the city—the Baptist, Methodist and Episcopal church on Church Hill. The Episcopalians and Presbyterians bad a minister each— Parson Buchanan and Parson Blair. I never knew two better men. They Penn on alternate Sundays at the Capitol and at the old church on the hill. The same con 8 attended on their ministrations. No difference In the forms of service was permitted to interrupt this per fect harmony. They taught the same sublime doctrines, and were too intent op the execution of their boly miason to dispute about mere external forms and ceremonies. Their lives were unitedly devoted to the high and impor tant task of making men good citizens and good Chris tians. Nor did they deem it necessary, in order t» accom. plish these ends, to make war upon those innocent amuse irrenee T to me borne on the fir: ments which serve as a respite from labor and toll. Buchanan's spring is identified with the Quoit Club, in the — innocent festivities — of which the | good old man sometimes partici pated. There were illustrious men associated with him in theae harmless relaxations, whose memories will art of Richmond. Mr. Buchanan lived house situated in the neighborhood uited to his condition of old bacbelorship, suppose, has long since passed away was once honored by the presence of bringing on suitable credentials and an ne, wh wearing euitable eaty two eminent ministers at Church Hill During bis stay in Richmond he was hospitably entertain. ed by Mr. Buchanan. By some arrangement of the toilet t was, howew discovered that the new minister Was a woman dressed in canonicais. Some time thereafter the two aged ministers dined at the Governor's, when Brother Blair indulged in innocent railery at the ex: pence of Brother Buchanan, to the infinite amusement of all present. Mr. Buchanan bad, bat a tew days before, received a letter from his quondam guest apologizing for her conduct, and giving her true patrouymic, of Diana Sinith. She was the first womaa in America who practl- cally put in force the doctrine of woman's rights. This aneedote brings forcibly to my recollection another of your citizens of that day, who was the worthy cotempo. rary of the two parsons, whom I often afterwards met at the hospitable board of bis estimable son, Col. John Ra therfaord. It was a source of great pleasure with me to have seen him in the latter days of his life, when the con. versation between us ran upon early reminiscences of Richmond. I adverted to the two good parsong and [hana Tt wae a gleam of the past which had not crossed hie pathway for many years. He emjoyed it heartily, and narrated ail ite moet minute ei .

When he disturbances with Great Britain broke out, he took ls tand firmly on the side of the colony, What olices he fiiled nd what services be rendered, both before and after the Deciaration of Independence are recorded in history. Itis no part of my purpose to give biographies. My design is the more humbie one of presentit ncil sketches, in which he mere outline is exhibited. I became personally cquainted with Mr. Randolph age had made its inroads pon him, but he nevertheless had been gently dealt with by time. His person still bore its manly an‘ majes- tic mein, his full black eye still beamed with invelligence, nd one lefthim in doubt which most to admire, Lis ommanding person, his ele ‘of manners, of his parkling and at the same time massive intellect.’ He re- uired ail these combiued to restore him to bis position at the bar, after having repeatedly abandoned it for high political station; and’ yet he achieved the difficult task, and although surrounded by strong and powerful athieta, he maintained his footing’ firmly, and enjoyed a large share in the remained in fer of the General Court. jae theatre for forensic labor, and the le ollts of the profession.

To receive bi cs Was regarded as equivalent to securing the result of the case, About that time John Wickham, quite a young man, appeared at the bar, and soon became a man of mark. It was in my twenty-first year that I came to Richmond as counsel in a case which had been sent from a county below, and which [had conducted in the court of that county, I consented, after much urgency, to come here, upon th. understanding with my client that Ishould not be exvected to do more Unan furnish Mr. Wickham, who bad been employed by my client, with a statement of the case. Mr Wirt had been employed by the defendant. I stated to Mr. Wickham the simple pur- pose with which I had followed the case. He drew me without the court room to expostulate with me, Upon my declaring to him my utter confusion at the idea of speak- wg in acase wherein Mr. Wirt and himself were em ployed, be said:— That is amere bugbear, When I went to the bar I became engaged in a case in which my fee, dependent on success, was a large one, The liou in my way was Charles Copeland. ‘When tbe day arrived for the of the case, the terror increased Upon me, and so continued until I fell in with your father, who was one of the Judges of the court, w! juired as tomy suc: cess at the bar.” I replied that I bad on that day « case comin, on which would yield me @ good fee, but that T was terri im baving to encounter Mr. Copeland. “Pooh, pooh,’’ said the Judge, “all nonsense. If the law is with you, the court will tke care of the balance.” Thus encouraged T entered on gained the cauae. So much for high sound ing names at the bar; you must open the case. T did so in trembling, however, and soon after lost myself in the ingenious sallies made during te rest of the day between the two eminent counsel. The success in the case which he had mentioned to me was followed shoruy aMer by the removal of Mr. Wick ham to Richmond. Here he found “foemen worthy of his steel.’ At the time to which my narrative chiefly re- lates, the Richmond bar was equal to any other in the v . It consisted, without a metaphor, of a constella. tion of taleat—Mr. Randolph, Mr. Wickham, Mr. Wirt, Mr, Hay, Mr. Call, Mr. Warden, along with others searceiy inferior in abilities. Chief Justice Marshall had years be. fore put on the robes of the Chief Justice. How he wore them is too well known to,require metosay. Mr. Wickham occupied the foremost rank in the profession. The accom piishments of his mind, great as they were, were fully equalled by the accomplishments of his person. His form was light, airy and elastic; his mauners highly cultivated; his address admirabie, his conversational powers rarely surpassed; his wit racy and sparkling; while his large, lustrous eye, accompanied by the smile that played on his lips, seemed to light up all around, I never knew a man who was better suited to ail the purposes of exalted station. I mean not merely those accomplishments 80 ne cessary to be cultivated by all inorder to make the social cirele of one's neighborhood ecable, but something more. As a diplomat he would have been admirable; as a Secretary of State unsurpassable. I have no reference to party politics—vone whatever. I speak only of men and their capacity for usefulness. William Wirt was at the time in the height of has fa He had rendered him- self conspicuous, as well by bis writings as by his dis- plays at the bar. His speech, some years before, at the trial of Aaron Borr, will long be cited as one of the choiwest gems of American eloquence. He was the an- tagonist counsel of Mr. Wickham in that celebrated trial as well as in other iinportant cases from time to time oc- curring tn the courts, and it was difficult to decide which most to admire, the splendid imagery of the one or the keep and cuthn, ire of the other. ‘The idea almost uni versajiy prevarls that high and brilliant eloquence is rare ly associated with great reasoning powers. I think there is much error in this. The garden of the mind is render. ed more attract.ve and beautiful by the maoy flowers that adorn it grow without being artifl cially forced y give lustre to the reasoning faculty, but whole pathway,and make that faculty more ele ,ollen & metaphor con. denses into a single sentence the argument. [might Dustrate this in the most forcible manner by quoting the words of Patrick Henry, in the Convention of 1788, upon the sulject of adopting the Constitution without previous. ly amending defects which all admitted to exist:—“What, sir |" said he, ‘‘will you go into a dungeon?—And for what? To cet out again? Beware lest the bolts and bars of fede. the argument, and ra! authority shall shut You ia when you are once in.” In that brief gente ce he surrounds ernment—its with all the pow rts at the mouths of all prinerpal rivers, its army, ite its power to levy and collect duties, taxos and imposts. " You see, you feel, you touch the power you are parting with, and the hazard you run in conceding it, before surrounding yourself with ivarantees and securities. While Mr. Wirt’s style was classe, figurative and flowing, hie reasoning was power- ful, and often overwhelming. At an day he changed bis residence to Baltimore, where he measured swords with William Pinkney, of Mary- land; and it is praise enough to say that he lost nothing by the conflict. George Hay and Daniel Call lean speak but pee Mr. my manner of speaking was like himself, stately and stadied. His style in writing gives a just idea of bis style in speaking. His letters, pub- lished in the Bnquirer about the time to which I refer, um- der the signature of Hortensius, were universally read and much admired. As the United States District Attorney, he prosecuted Aaron Burr with marked ability, Mr. Call pretended to 0 display—to no triek of oratory. He ac complished everything by his extensive and well digested legal learning, which constituted him, on all occasions, an versary Of great power. John Worden cannot be 80 hurriedly parted with. Nature, so generally beautiful in all her productions, sometimes apparently distorts and disfigures as if for the sole purpose of rendering more to be admired her more perfect handiwork. So had she acted in the case of John Worden—Old Jock, as he was familiarly calied at the bar. His structure was seemingly reversed, and everything out of place. His mouth was enormously large, and yet hit tonzue was too large for his mouth, which rendered bis articulation muddy and indis- tinet. ‘Any one could sketch his likeness. It was on all the walls of the Capitol. I remember one sketch in parti- cular, which was exceedingly striking, and had written over t what pa to be his epi The last lines I only retain in my memory — Reader, tread lightly o'er his aod, For if be gapes you are gone, by —. He often facetiously ieclared that his parents had twelve children, and that be was the handsomest of the set; and ret if nature bad in a freak so ‘lly made up his person, she ‘ully compensated for it in the formation of his mind. That was a gem of much val and caused one to forget the defects of the setting. Unquestionably the best con- veyancer im the State, ing much wit, profoundly versed in the jaw, and adding to all these oyopid and good humor, every one liked him, and he was accord- ingly surrounded With clients. These brilliant lights of the bar have ail away. They have been sueceeded by others, and others bave had their successors; and yet it may well be questioned whether any of the more modern Knights of the forum could poise a lance with more skill, or strike an adversary a heavier blow. I might, gentlemen, continue to draw the portraits of others pot less eminent in the various departmente of life than those I have so burriedly sketched. Of the judges, eminent and learned, who sat daily as impartial ampires: between these great coutesters—of St. George Tucker, Who has illustrated the science of the law by his able commen- tarics on Blackstone, as well as by numerous law deci sions—of Wm. Fleming, whose integrity in public and pri- vate life po man ever questioned; and of Spencer Roane, whose opinions were alike oracular on politics or law—t might speak of the learned faculty of physicians who presided at that day like good Genii over the health of the city—of Dra. McClury, Lyons, McCaw, Fourhee, Green how and others, thet compeers—of many of your mer je, and left betind them honorable 3 n8 mechanics, whose merit bas been in building up your city, and giving it its present shape and character, ha the foremost of whom m that day was Col. Tompkins, the strokes of whose ham- mer are seen in all your streets avenues.

Under federalism all the parts obey the whole, and the whole is bound to protect ail the Each State has its own local Legislature wi its own boundary, and is a member of the Congress which binds the whole confederation. When an outh: territory advances in population, it is not Pi hee asa cheney within the pale of the federation. Thus a rpaliae fraternity is re- cognized, which prevents unw motives to cupidity or ambition. This is one of the causes of the rapid growth of the United States. Had the constitution of the original thirteen States been exclusive, new populations would never have massed themselves around their borders, fearing to be enslaved or annexed when they became wealthy; but no such fears were entertained, in- dustry being certain of its reward, and the small capitalist and laborer assured that the land which they had reclaimed would in due time be erected into an independent State, and form a co-ordinate and coequal part of the common republiz. In some such condition now is the North American territory, which contains one-ninth of the whole area of the globe, computed at 37,000,000 square miles. Of this total, Canada measures 400,000 square miles; New Bruns- wick, 28,000; Nova Scotia, 19,009; Prince Edward's Island, 2,000; and Newfoundland, 37,000—in the whole, 486,000 square miles. From the Atlantic to the Pacific are 4,000,000 square miles of territory. Europe only contains 3,708,000, or 292,000 miles less. ‘The great province of Canada alone is equal in size to Great Britain, France and Prussia; and the mari- time provinces of British North America cover 86,000 square miles of territory. For the future settlement of this immense country statesmanship is now called upon to provide, and Sir Bulwer Lyt- ton has commenced the gigantic task by founding British Columbia, either to remain a separate king- dom or form an integral part of a mighty confede- ration. Several attempts have been made to explore the territory, and much scattered information has been collected. Sir John Colborne sent a party to pene- trate into the Nipissing country, but the arrange- ments were defective. The travellers started from Lake Simcoe, and reached the southeast banks of Nipissing Lake, but they suffered so severely from fatigue and privation that their narrative was colored by the painful recollection of their misfor- tunes. Mr. Thomas Simpson journeyed from Fort Garry to Athabasca, and reporte: Brora of many districts he traversed, and many others havi borne testimony to the fertility of the soil, the abundance of the minerals, and the value of the timber. The latest intelligence is contained in a blue book published by order of the Canadian govern- ment, entitled ‘‘ A Report on the Exploration of the Country between Lake Superior and the Red River settlement,” and it is the first statistical contribution of the Government Surveying Expedition, under the charge of Messrs. Gladman and Dawson and Professor Hind. Under the auspices of these highly competent gentlemen, copious and accurate infor- mation will be obtained respecting the Northwest Territory, which offers unrivalled facilities for settle- ment. Mr. Dawson, speaking of the Saskatchewan country, says—*There is not, perhaps, on the globe so great an extent of territory so little broken by barren tracts; there is not in the universe a finer field of colonization; so mild is the climate in the south branch of this great river, that the In- dians hunt the buffalo on horseback all winter; and so little snow is said to fall that snow- shoes are seldom used.” The Assiniboine river enters Red river at Fort Garry, and flows over a hundered miles of the richest prairie soil. The val- ley of the Red river is described as a boundless level plain, elevated about thirty feet above Lake Winnipeg, and for a distance of about one hundred miles, in a due south direction, “ rising so imper- ceptibly that, except by instrumental measurement, its inclination was not apparent.” Both the rivers, the Red and the Assiniboine, are heavily timbered on both their banks for a quarter of a mile deep. On the Assiniboine Professor Hind says that sugar is made from the maple; that a species of grape grows in profusion, while melons and tomatoes ripen in the open air. These facts ought to dis- abuse the English mind of the prejudice entertained against the climate of Canada. Half way between Lake Superior and Red river s Rainy river, where the soil is described as a rich black foam, and the vegetation was so abundant that the progress of the surveyors was impeded by the dense growth of grasses. The whole valley marked by fertility and beauty. The poplar mea- sures sixteen and a half feet in circumference, the elms are three feet in diameter, the oak flourishes, and in some districts the yield of wheat averages thirty bushels per acre. The settlements already formed on the river run for about fifty miles on its immediate banks, the houses being generally built quite close to the stream; the farms, of from fifty to two hundred acres, stretching backwards in long strips into the prairie, to what is called “the boundary line of the lots.” The members of the government expedition observe that “many hundred thousands of acres, which cgnnot be sur- passed for fertility—rich prairie Snould from eighteen inches to two feet deep—lie free and unocenpied on the banks of the Red river and its tributaries, inviting settlement.” To the facts con- tained in the blue book of the Canadian Legisla- ture we may add the remarks of a private traveller, published in the Hamilton Spectator, the result of a tour of six to seven hundred miles th the Swan river region. After describing the general features of the c as rich 4 rspersed with belts of heavy oak and elm, he says, “Tam afraid that in describing the rich valleys of Swan river and the Assiniboine oye en oe romance, when the fact is that I have, in ity, fallen short of the truth. All the banks and braes that have been written of could not excel those of Swan river, and all the groves, lawns, and planta- tions ever laid out ~ genius and art would find somethingwven more beautiful in the winding slopes of the Assiniboine.” The more enterprising of the Canadian merchants are now earnestly considering how they may best utilize the Northwest Territory, and as a com- fencement the Northwest Transportation Compa- ny has been formed. The first improvement to be ehtocted is the general communication between Red river and Lake Superior, by facilitating the transit over the es. If the company slam- ber over its duties, their claims are forfeited by the terms of the charter, so that no obstructive mo- nopoly has been created, and others will be allow- ed to supersede those who have failed. This pre- caution gh the ey om gly are = intent on_ open the passage, a its completion can ot a york of time. The benefit to be derived its, execution is now fully appreciated. The Canadians are asking themselves, “Can we not have a West as valuable to us as Illinois has proved to have been to New York?” This question they answer in the affirmative, insi that the Red river, the Swan, the Assiniboine, and the Saskatchewan have prairies on their banks as fertile as any on the Mississippi and Missouri. Moreover, their energies have been uickened by the spirited move of Sir Bulwer t tton in founding the colony of New Colam- bia, the terminus on the Pacific of the grand railway which ought to commence at eg a run to Quebec, thence crossing over the whole British territory to Vancouver. This enterprise, at least that portion of it connecting Halifax and Quebec, was mooted in Parliament by the present Duke of Newcastle in 1848, and he pointed out the advantage of avoiding the cirenitous route from England to Quebec by the St. Lawrence and the dangerous coast of Cape Bretow. Lord Grey also praised the plan, and Lord Durham remarked, that “if for great political ob- jecta it should ever become necessary or advisable to unite all the British provinces ander one legisla- tive government, then there will be found on this side of the Atlantic one powerfal British State which, supported by the imperial power of the mother country, may bd defiance to all the United States of amet Various plans are now afloat for reaching the Bast, as by the Isthmus of Suez, the Panama Canal and the Red Sea route to Kurra- chee. On their merits or demerits we have not now space to enter; but for speed a line from Hali- fax to Vancouver aj the most desirable, and should be rapid contact with China ood India, Cores and Japen. In this view the value of Canada ia incalonlable. Tak Season tx Wasntxotox.—Pennaylvania avenue was crowded with promenaders yesterday after noon.

Boa houre keepere have already commenc- ert the work of rejuvenation, for the purpose of attract: ing the winter visiters, and the amount of ining be. tween the landiadies and those in search of winter quar. ters is unprecedented. In some instances almost fabalous pricee are charged for back rooms and inferior accommo. dations, and when the leas victims wale tore. monstrate, they are told that they will be glad and willing to take up with something worse even before the com. menorrent of Congress. In short, everything betokens a rush in December next, and it becomes our beng Ny and boarding house keepers to make due preparations for it. Washington Union, Nov. 5.
