All sorts of cabinet speculations ere afloat, consequent
upon Soaetor llnntor's visit to Concord. Before leaving
hsre he dtclered he would not soeept the Treasury Do
pertinent, sad his friends ssy he will not take eny seat In
the oablnet. The Impression is, howerer, that hs will
take the State Department. As to his ha ring six years
to serve in the Senate, that amounts te nothing, as Vir
ginia would give him bis term whenever he might require
It. Mr. Hunter is not only an able but a well read man,
sad tbs growing importance of our foreign relations may
iaduos htm to forego what was. doubtless, his first inten
tion of not accepting a cabinet appointment. It is stated
that Qeaeral Pi area's letter to Mr. Hunter simply asked
hiss to oome and spend the Christmas holidays, and that
he had requested two or three other friends to be there
else. I lsern that ne intimations were given as to the
cabinet.

The cause ot the more rapid increase in the upper
than the lower province, is to be attributed to the
greater inducements held out to emigrants in the
fotmsr seotion of the country, and the existence of
the seigniories in Lower Canada, and the intluenoe
of the priesihood, oointunod with the prejudice that
exists egainst foreigners, particularly those of a dif
feren. religious oreed, turning the tide of immigra
tion in other directions.
The numbers of parecn* occupying lands in both
provinces is about equal, forming au aggrogato of
194 309, with farms of from ten acres and under to
two hundred and upwards, and embracing 17.9.17,148
sees ol ehich there under cultivation, and in orop,
pasture. garden and orchards, 14,606,482 acres, and
10.632,907 of wild lands or under wood, exclusive cf
large tiaots whioh are still ungranted Tae quan
tity of wheat raised during the present year, exclu
sive of barley, rye, buckwheat, maize or luiian
ooru, and ev. ry variety of vegetables, &i , was, in
Lower Canada. 3 075 868 bushels, aad in Upper
Canada 12 692 852, making a total of 15,768,720
buebe's? a yeld in the latter province of eighteen
and or o third bushels for each inhabitant; and tak
ing tbe consumption of each individual at ten
bush-is p r annuo, leading rather more than three
millions ot busceU? eq> ?L to six thousand barrels of
dour? for exportation In Lower Canada, the yield
ibis year wssonly three and half bushels for each
inhabitant; but as tbe French Canadians con mine
a large proportion of psaee, which, with vegetables,
form a substitute for b'ead, this quantity may be
considered u? mflio ent for che supply of the popula
tion l'baio is, however a largo influx of snipping
at Queb.e, durn g tbe Miuun.-r season, and o ?n?e
quonrly wivat inun be imporied to meet this partial
bat not vi-ry extensive demand
Tbe reduced quantity of wheat that is raise 1 in
Lower Canada is not owing to any adverse lntlu
ei ee of soil or olimi'e as large quantities were for
merly produced there, but to toe ravages of the
Rassiun fly. duii- g sev-ral successive years, whioh
1.0 to the tempnary abandonment of its eulture.
Bivil has now passed away, and consequently
mtlr .turn of wb?at is on the increase
#ct th? aelgniu.Vy tenure. the tedani or small
??mr r? cot p-rm ft tea to orect mills, which
are provided by the seignior, to whioh he must
o?rry his grain to be grouad; consequently, were it
not for the high du'y which is impanel on all Ca
nadian pn duco that is imported into the United
8<ates, a large quanti y ol wheat onnld be ground
in that part of th? Union bordtring on the Fastora
townships and on the shores of Lakes Ontario and
Erie
In tbe early settlement of Canada, the Frenoh
govertmcnt made ample provisiin for education,
bat it is tbe eounatioo that is afforded by priests
and nuns, and which does not enlarge the mind;
oons'qiHDtij tbe French Canadians are an inert
people, contented with their lot and unacquainted
witb tbe improvements of modern times; and as
tbe Roman Catholic ritual requires that a number
of days in each year?ofien at most inconvenient
seasons for agriculture and tbe demands of business
?shall be devoted to religious obi>er>ancos, a cor
responding ii jurious influence is experienced by the
cuuimumty at. large, with i s conco nitant poverty
The immense lumbering business that is carried
on in Lower Canada, must also, in a groat dogroe,
retard agriculture and tend to impoverish while it
demoralizes those who engage in tint pursuit- You
might us well attempt to incite a farmer of a sailor
an a lumbtior And noi ou'y in this tray is a largo
amount of labor withdrawn from the legitimate oc
oupa ion of a rural population, but extensive trao's
that are Ifasrd exprissly for the purpose of outtiog
timber are thereby rendered unfit for settlement.
Tbe government, however, are turning their atten
tion to the settlement of the waste lands of the Pro
vii ce. at d are disposing of them at redacod prices,
or making free g nuts; and they also intend to ox
per.d a targe sum annually in opening roads to
im w townships that hare been or are about to be
inid out.
Then again, a very inferior description of hus
bandry prevails among 'he Preach Canadians, the
injurious efTeotsof which the priests are beginning
to perceivr, and which they are desirous of reme
dy leg To aoooiupltsb which, tbe seminary at (Que
bec bare brought out from Scotland a superior
farmer, who has charge of one of their large estates,*
wh>ch be is naltivaiing upon the most improved
principles ; and the example once set, with the sano
tion if the priests, the most bonefloial results mus
follow.
Tbe present railway mania that prevails in Cana
da will also, by introducing a numerous body of
settlers from the old country, be productive
of beneficial ?fleets;and provided their example dcea
not interfere with tbe religious sentiments of toe
French population, will not moot with oppositiontiu
tbe part of tbe priests, who at present exeroise un
limited control. Indeed, such a result I think was
to be deprecated and deplored, as the man who
worships bis creator ia sincerity ani with singleness
ot heart, whatever may be his form of adoration,
renders the most acceptable offering to the Deity
whom he eerves The French Canadians are at
present a contented, amiable, and happy people,
conforming strictly to the ordinances of their
obnrch, whioh they believe have the sanotion >f
divine su hority; and were this oonviotlon to be
destroyed, it is much to be donbted whether they
would adopt, generally speaking, any other religious
oreed or mode of worship, and implicit ebedienoe
might be suocreded by doubt and Infidelity
Annexation to the United States, it is thought,
would substitute for the universal apathy and
inertness that prevails in tbe provlnoea, the energy
and activity which oharaoterise the people of that
country; but of this I have my doubts The marked
distinction between the inhabitants of the two ooun
tries arises mainly from a cause to which I believe
allusion has not been made, and is to be found in
the aversion of men of weslth in the o'domes, to
embark nay portion of their capital in tks
promotion of objeots of general utility, or In
improving the natural resouroes of the provinoes;
while ih the United States a oontrary policy has
perhaps ooatributed, more than any other oause, to
their rapid improvement and prosperity. I am ex
teasivelv acquainted with the British colonies and
everywhere have found the same avaricious feeling
to predominate, and the same reluotanoe to invest
any portion of aunefluons funds in undertakings
whioh do not afford tbe most undoubted evidence of
ample it not extravagant returns, hut whioh they
ferret in British or American funds. WbtJs such a
feeling prevails among the mooted men of n oom
muaity, it Is impossible for it to advance ; nor can
persons ef limited means sagag# sncoessfhlly in
bnsinem, or the resouross of n country be de
veloped
Tbe question of " annexation" is of too im
portant n character, and involves results of too
fravs n nature to bo hers discussed ineidsntally
bs cry wss rtsrted by tbe colonial tones, when
they found tbe power maieh they had so long ex
o naively exercised departed from tbem; It was
m? ant for annoy anse rather tbaa in sober earnest,
and thee would be the iret to opooee euoh a move
ment. It was subsequent! r rendered popular for a
time, hp the adoption of > he principles of free trade
by the mother country, whioh were not properly
understood, and el whioh Canada is already Indt
reotly enjoying the advantage. But the feeling Mi
lever extended to the Frenoh population, as a body,
who think that were Upper Canada annexed to tbe
United HtaUs, they would remain a* they are at
present, a oontented oolonv #f (treat Rritain.
But, even were Great Britain to abandon thil
valuable portion of the empire, it would only be an
act of juitioe to permit ita inhabitant* to aelect the
oountry with which they ahonld be annexed, if they
were not declared independent altogether; and were
the people of Upper Canada to agree that it should
become a State of the American Union, the Frenoh
Canadians, whore sympathies and attachments have
not become obliterated by time, would oifrose to re*
vert to the nation to which the colony formerly he
longed, whoee language they speak, and with whose
literature and hi tory the educated olasses among
them are familiar; and the government of that oonn
try, under whatever dynasty. weuld gladly again
receive them. This the government at Washington
would justly view with alarm, as re establishing a
French ascendancy on this continent; and as substi
tuting for a magnanimous and kindred neighbor a
subtle and restless power
I must be permitted, in conclusion, to say a few
words with reference to reciprocity with the United
8'ates, upon whioh the public mind in Canada seems
doggedly bent. To this -uhjnct. sinoo it was first
mooted. I havs given much attention; and oao per
ceive none of those advantages whioh they promise
themselves, from thr adoption of that measure ?
Their true polioy is that which hasreoently been in
dioated by the government?to divert the trade of
the country down tbe St Lawrence to the ooean,
which is a shorter route to England, than that to
New York; and whioh. wore an adequate number of
light houses established below Quebec, might be
rendered as free from danger, during the season of
navigation, as is the approach to the American
coast.
But the people of Upper Canada have got it into
their beads, that they pay the duty exacted by the
American government on their produce when oou
eunied in tbe United States; and I was astonishod
to find so clever and clear-sighted a man as Mr
Hincks lending himself to the promotion of this
popular delusion It is an established and admitted
principle ia political economy, that the consumer
pays tfro duty on tbe articles which he consumes ;
m d although the Caoadlan producer may have to
advance it in tbe first iostanoe, wben he exports bis
Ereduce to the United States, yet he will not. if In
is tenses, dispose of it there unless the market prios
will cover the duty and yield him a profit.
The only beneficial result tbat would ensue, were
the duty on Canadian produco withdrawn to
morrow. would be experienced by the inhabitants of
the United Bt.at.es residing on tbe sea board, whe
are paying in New York and elsewhere, at the pre
sent mouent, one-fifth more for the agricultural
produce than tbey ought to pay, and this withou'.
aty corresponding oonefit, aririug from the imposi
tion of tbe heavy duty alluded to, as it is wi'.hdra vn
on exportation But tbe consequence of this nomi
nal duty istoincreuret.be priieof the neocRsarics
of life to that, extcur.. as it reuders it impossible for
the Canadian farmer to oooipote with the A m-trioan.
Ik move this obstacle, anil agricultural produce
would be Teduoed in prie ? not only to tbe extent
ot ibe duty, but beyond it, owing to tbe competition
tbat would follow ; and instead of rhuir paying, as
at preo nt is tbe case, six dollars per barrel for flour,
thirty cents for butt* r. and other articles in propor
tion, tbe price to ilie haul working citizens of New
York would not average more than two-thirds of
wbat it is now A great relief would thus bo efTected
generally to the inhabitants on the sea board, who
teel severely the effects of this protective tariff,
without being benefited to the smallest extent, by
a consequent reduction of taxation, as no revenue
can be derived from the imposition of duties that
arc novi r exacted W.

This little town, from which I write, ii one of
the many settlements that have sprang into exis

end of the Mexioan war. Fort Duncan is the name
of the military post that Unole Sam has established
here, wbile upon the Mexican side of tbe river there
is also a new town and a garrison of Mexioan sol
diers. WildCat, the famous Seminole Chief, has
also made his camp on the Mexioan tide, where a
part of bis band has lived for the last two years,
about half a mile from the town. Wild Cat and a
number of his warriors returned three days age
fiom the oity of Mexico, where he has been to re
oelve payment for services rendered by him and his
warriors in opposition to Carravejal and his forces
Wo number upon the American side, in population,
about one hundred and fifty souls, counting citixens
and soldiers. On the Mexioan side of the river
there is double this number; yet although this is a
unail community we have considerable excitement.
For tbe last week the Mexicans have been holding
a succession of feast days in celebration of the
completion of ne w quarters for the soldiers Four
or five bull fights were held every evening, and a
number of moute and chuck a lack tables were in
lull blast, and tbe fandangos continue 1 " until

States Boundary Survey are now here, anl are [ire
paring to go to Larado in a lew days There is
seme excitement here arising from an affray on the
Mexican side. One of the men of the commission,
who bad just beeu discharged from the Survey, got
into a difficulty at a faniUngo with Gopher John,
the captain of Wild Oat's n>gg<rs. Tin Mexican
guard attempted to arrest Gopher John, but wsre
oppoied by him Stephens, the mail uontraotor be
tween Eugie Pars and San Antonio, stepped up to
aaent the guard, and fired a ball from bis six shooter
over Gopher John's head to scare him. Gopher
Jobs cut at Stephens with a knife and dared
htm to shoot, baring bis breast and saying.
"SLoot, damn you! snoot !" Stephens flrel and
.'hot hixn tbiough the left shoulder, and Gopher
Jobn fell. Tbe guard then attempted to arrest
Stephens. He, however, turned to make fight, but
ons of his friends advised mm to make for tbe
river. Tbe two walked together until t hay turned
a corner, wben they broke lor the river, tbe guard,
consisting of ten or twelve men, pursutng. The
two Amerioane jumped into a sk ff, and tried to push
it off, but it was ohatned to a rock, and it was no
go. The guard came up before they could take to
the water, snd arrested both, but only oonfined
Stephens. His examination will take place to day,
and, if be is committed for trial, the boys bore say
ifcat they will cross and rescue him <Juitn >abt!
Gopher John is severely, but not mtrtall

From an ahly written and interacting sketsk. with
tba above title, la the new City Directory warn ta ba
irsued, wa compile tka following artioie. Tka sketoh
is written by Dr J. 8. Newberry, mueh of It from
tba notaa of John Barr, Beq the writer cays:?
Ba who should now, for tho Aral time visit tba
aborei of the groat Lakaa, beholding on every aide
the triumphs of enlightened industry; the landscape,
' w. mat
with ita wide expanses of orchard,
waving grain, hardened with the plenteoas fruits
of soientifis tillage; thiokly studded with oity,
village, and fa*in bouse; adorned by temples of
soience, and shrines of religion, tho happy koma of ?
large and intelligent population; the wstere
ploughed by the keels of fleets of floating pslseee,
whitened by the sails of argosies, freighted with the
produots of all lands and olimes, everywhere sur
rounded by evidenoes of plans matured, of labour
done, victories achieved, and hopes in all fruitiest
such a one, unconscious that he beheld the scene of
the most splendid instance of progress aad pros
perity the world has ever seen, would be slow (a
believe that all man has here done aad beoome, wad
the woik"of but a short half century
And those of us who bavs, for a longer or shorter
period, witnessed the adv&noss of the fairest portion
of this favored jejJiou? to us, even, the history ef
the suooesuve changes which have oonverted, within
little more than fltty years, the silent, foreet-elad
solitnde, where the Cuyahoga mingled its current
with a wild waste of watere, into the mart of ooia
meioe, the theatre of busy, bustl'.pg industry, the
seat of soienee, the abode of fashionable wealth; a
city of thirty thousand souls graced with all the
embellifebiuentsuf art, nod rich 10 all the reflntoseatd
of good and evil which characterize modern civilian,
tion? all this partakes of the marvellous We gather
around the gray haired pioneer, us he relate# the
hittory of tho post, with much the feeling of chil
urtn listening to sums fairy tale, as though the
scenes of sorrow and privation, and the deeds of
daring r arrntel, belonged to other ages and tther
lands than ours The artificial so greatly preponder
ates over the natural, in everything that strikes our
ejeor ears ; the fabric of human society it so com
plete in all its parts ; the material works of art to
elaborate and numerous ; we find it difficult to con
vince ourselves tbat the educated aad enlightened
human mind baa not been working here far oeetu
ries ; that ail its splendid achievements have been
accomplished within the brief spsoe of a life time
The first landing upon >he shores of Cleveland, for
the purposes of settl-ment. was in 1796. In July of
that year, the surveying party of the Connecticut
Land Company?in ail. fitly two persoai - under tne
direction of General Moses Cleavsland, from whom
the city was named, arrived hore Job P. Stiles
and his family, and Capt Paine, since of Paiaeivilla,
constituted tne whole white population of (Jlevsltnd
during the winter of 1796-7 Five families win ered
here during the winter of 1797-8 Three persons
died of dysentery in 1797, and the same disease,
together with tho ague, prostrated nearly ail tba
survivors
Up to 1799, tbe oitixois subsisted on such bread*
stuffs as tboir ingenuity devised; but during that
year a small grist mill was built at the falls of MiH
Creek, some six miles southeast of the sity During
the ensuing winter, the colony enjoyed the luxury of
breid, tbe grain for which was grouad by them
selves, end converted into flour at their own mill

In 1810, Cleveland was made tbe county seat ef
tbe county of Cuyahoga; the oourt house was
erected, and the first Court of Common Pleat held
tbe same year Id 1814, the place was incorpira
ted with a villago'eharter, and its government ad
ministered by a president, a board of trustees aad
a recorder, (Alfred Kelly being the first president J
In 1816, the first church was organised; in 1818,
tbe first steamboat entered the river; in 1825. tba
first appropriation for tne improvement of the hun
bor was made by govern men'; in 1834, the prinei
pal itrtsn v?n |nt?S; in ttjM, a large portion ef
the businers part of the city was burned; in 1905,
Cleveland was raised to tho rank of a city.
In 1846, the inhabitants of Cleveland voted to
loan the credit of tbe oity, to the amount of 9300,
('00, for the oonatructldh of a railroad, whieh oon
nects Cleveland with Columbus and CinoUaaii.
This road was in due time built, and the oars
ran over the entire track, and oaino into this oity
with flying banners, on the 221 of February,
1861. The oity also voted to loan 0100,000 to to*
Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, and forty miles
of this important work were opened for travel the
same day Previous to this time, howerer, the
secret leaked out that Cleveland was to be a great
place, and the influx of men of talent and wealth
ftou all parts of tho country, as well as the Im
portant additions to the aggregate population,
shown by the annual oensus, indicated tne faith
bad in the report.
Binoe the completion of the C> C. fit C. road,
tho passion of our people for railroads hesgrewu
with its indulgence; the C fit P Railroas has
been finished, the Lake Shore-to whioh the city
loaned also 0100 000?has been oonstmsted, giving
us unbroken railroad conneotion with Buffalo, Bjctom
andNewYoik; the Toledo, Norsralk and Olevw
land road -which will form the last link in a con
tinuous chain, stretching from Cleveland to Chicago
?has been brought to such a stage of progress that
a few days more will suffice for its completion.
After speaking of the public improvements of
Cleveland and her schools, the writer makes esti
mates as to fho city's future:?
By referring to tho table of population, we fied
(bat tbe Dumber of inhabitants in 1850 was 17,600 ;
in 1851,21,140; in 1852,25,670; an increase of mora
than twenty per cent per annum Should the sain#
rate of increase continue, our city would contain in
1860, more than 100,000 inhabitants. This estimate
is. doubtless, too high, but it is difficult to say what
causes cin operate in any degree to check our oa
ward progress
Tbe amount of produce received by the Ohio sanel
during the years 1850, '51 and '52, exhibit an la
crease of fully 20 per cent per stmurn. For In
stance. the amount of wheat received by canal In 1950
was 1,192.559 bushels; in 1851,2 529.699 and the
amount ruoeived in 1852 will be over 3,000 000. Bus
the receipts cf wheat vary greatly with the harvest
of different years, so we will take that other groat
item of canal business?mineral jooal?an item sub
ject to no such variation. The number of tons of
coal brought to Cleveland by canal, m 1950, was
82,379; in 1851, 103,233; in 1852, the number will
exceed 140.000 tons. The nnmber of arrivals ia.
and departures from our port, and tbe reoord of our
harbor business, exhibits still greater advances em
the amount of former years. We hava than abun
dant evidence, derived from different sources, that
the business of the eltj is in a most healthy aad
flourishing state, and has, in its increase, more them
equalled the increments of population.
There is another soaroe or wealth and numbers,
of rfhieh Cleveland has but just begun to avail hem
self, and yet one whieh is perhaps destined to UMt
as great an influence on her prosperity ,as her U
e nailed commercial facilities, and that is manufao
'ures We have, it is true, on the two side# of tho
Cuyahoga,some industrial establishments whieh are
quite creditable to ns, but tho capital employed in
manufactures is small, whan compared with the
wants of the population (33,000) surrounding tho
place of ita investment, and entirely disproportion
ate to the capabilities of this location for sustaining
manufactures.
Cleveland has special qualification for becoming
a great manufacturing city; with her geographical
position, her facilities for the transport or the raw
material or the manufactured article; her proximity
to hods of exoellsnt ooal; her relations to tho mine
ral region cf Lake Superior; she ostn hardly foil to
become celebrated for her manufactures, aad dor
wealth and population are gresttly to bo U or eased
by them.
What, then, is to limit tho progress of the Focost
City ? Her beautiful situation, her healthful air, hor
wide and handsome streets, her oounUoni trees, aad
tasteful architecture can never be taken from her.
Her great commercial facilities, will only ehaage to
become greater. Tbe agrioultural resources of thn
country ef which she Is the market, are not yet half
developed Manufactures must lead their mighty
aid for her advancement. What, than, shall retasd
ar limit her pi or parity.
