In order that we may be able to form some sort of comparison of Canada with Nova Scotia we may state that her House of As- sembly numbers 130 members, and her Legis- lative Council G1. Canada pays her Gover- nor £7000 a year, and her Cabinet Ministers £1000 sterling. In education, she expends $506.000—in the administration of justice $670,000. To hospitals and charities she gives $272,000, and to Toronto University about $180,000.—What will the opponents of Dalhousie say to this? Her millitia in 1861 was only $84.000, but the grant for this has since been made more liberal. For the promotion of agriculture she expends more than $100,000, and for emigration se lays out nearly $50,000 — Nova Seovia can afford only $800. She has ocean steamers of her own, to which she gives a subsidy of $200,000. Such are a few of the items of public expenditure and they are upon a scale wf liberality and public spirit, becoming a great and rapidly advancing people. In 1X61 the Imports of Canada amounted to $48 .000,000. her Exports to $36 000 000.— ler revenue during the same year was $97 - (00,000, and her expenditure $119,000 000. Measures have since that time been adooted to bring her outlay within the limits of her income. ‘The public debt of Canada is $65,- 000,000, for which she has to pay interest amounting to #3.400,000. This seems a large sun, and is, no doubt, much felt by the Colony, but there cannot be «doubt that the Government Works it represents have don* much to place the Colony in the posi. tion it now occu piea,

We trust that nothing has happened, or will happen, to mar the good feeling which had 30 happily been inangurated, and its effec will be the drawing of all of us more closely, not only as regards personal amity, but also as regards our great and ever-growing Luter- Colonial interests

Canada, as everybody knows, is divided. both geographically and ethnologically, into two great divisions. Canada East contains 60 counties and two great cities— Montreal! and Quebec—-the one with a population o! 100,000, tve other between 50,000 and 60, 0u0. The total population of this portion of | Canada in 1861 was 1,111,556, showing an | increase of 220,000 within the last ten years —a rate of progress which sets at rest the idle calumny that the people of this portion of the colony are non-progressive.
