placed but the exposure having htid it tkmor0 open to spoliation and au actual robbery of a part of the stone having taken place it was removed from the gar den within the walls of the convent where it now rests it is large enough to contain a man six feet high the cemetery in which it was heretofore placed is beneath an appletree and is now filled with water aud used only as a garden well after

shortly to be able to lay before the public a statement of what has been done during the past season towards the settlement of the province by the emigrat ing population from the mother country this statement should we have it io our power to complete it will we are inclined to helieve prove highly satisfactory the number of emigrants who have landed at this port during the summer has been unusually great and may be fairly estimated at 17000 or 18000 including children not always returned among ibe passengers of thoe there were i0qw0 and upwards from ireland 3500 from eng land and 2500 from scotland includimg children oftbese persons the total set tled in this province is 3500 in upper can ada 8000 the remainder are supposed to be scattered through the united states and many as experience has shown may be expected back again to become hereaf ter profitable settlers in the canadas it may be remarked in this place that the greater number of those who have passed through the provinces to settle in the unit ed states are englishmen and wo should deeply regret the truth of this fact were it not easy to account for it by the success with which the efforts of american specu lators have been seconded by their agents in the country parts of england and by the little information as yet disseminated there respecting the advantages and capabilities of these provinces it appears certain that the canadas stand at present in much higher estimation with our scottish and irish brethren tban with englishmen who however emigrate in fewer numbers than either of the former with respect to actual settlement near quebec we are happy to state that in va rious situations in the vicinity of craigs road and in other parts of this district therehave been located to use a word gen erally adopted 350 families of whom 75 have settled in the township of inverness the capital possessed by these settlers is fairly estimated at 25000 notwithstanding the unusual influx of strangers during the summer it is worthy of remark that the number of unemployed poor is by no means proportionably in creased on the contrary we have good reason ic believe that quebec its neigh bourhood were never more tcee from this burthen than t the present moment the facility with whffh locations ire now ob tained is one cause and amply sufficient alone to account for it there has been a pretty general error id imagining that the settlers who arrive from europe are almost universally paupers hence has arisen the coldness with which the mere influx of numbers without capi tal has been viewed by persons who other wise had tho welfare of those provinces much at heart during the late season oor inquiries have led us to a perfectly dif ferent conclusion it is a bold thing to say but strong ground exists for believing that the amount of capital brought into the prov ince by the settlers of the season will not fall far short of 150000 various instan ces have come to our kuowledge

a law requiring all steam vessels to be provided with good stagings to communicate between the ves sels and the wharfes with substantial rail ings on each side to guard against those unhapy casualties which we read from time to time in the newspapers another provision which a due regard to the safe ty of individuals requires is that every steamboat lying at a wharf in any part of this province should during the night have a lantern or other sufficient light placed at the gangway opposite or over the staging any infraction of the law on these heads by the master should be visited with a

tbem both to be as they acknowledge profoundly ignorant of rtiose insufufjons aiiej aodf appeal- to know that the capital consists of a number of small deposits gradually made by labourers mechanics c it is in fact an accumulation of small deposits not employed as the capital of other banks in discounting notes and in the usual operations of banking but vested in some sort of undoubted security which yields a certain interest and is the sole source of profit the accumulated de posits of savings banks in england find a ready investment under the authority of law in the bank of england into whose coffers they are paid on account of the commissioners for the reduction of the national debt who hsue deben tures for sums not less than 50 in fa vour of the savings banks bearing inter est this is an undoubted security convertible without delay into money whenever the depositers deire to with draw their funds now sir the difficulty with respect to the successful and beneficial manage ment of a savings bank in this place appears to roe chiefly to consist in devis ing the means of a safe and profitable investment of the accumulated deposits we have no such means as exist in en gland of effecting this object no bank can allow the rate of interest for such deposits that would be necessary in deed i should feel greatly inclined to doubt the stability or at least the dis creet management of any banking in stitution that would allow the least in terest to its depositors and if such a lsafljtft spoken of should ever be established and should be induced to follow this course i would venture to prophecy a catastrophe similar to that which befel its hapless predecessor which be it remarked en passant once did allow in terest in the deposits of a savings bank thai was for a short time in operation at this place the only means of investment which offer appear to be bank stock or steam boat stock the latter is not a safe in vestment because steamboats are pe rishable property and liable to casualties bank stock might answer better though even that is not sure as the history of canadian banks fully demonstrates landed security is safer perhaps than any other in this country but then oc curs the difficulty which is i fear insu perable it is not convertible into mo ney at pleasure the amount of each mans deposit with interest should be always forthcoming when demanded and how could this be the case when the accumulated savings were chiefly vested in landed securities i advert in a hasty manner to these difficulties merely to show your coirespondcnts that
