This Section embraces all that tract of country, from the head of lake Ontario; bounded by lake Erie on the south, lakes St Clair and Huron on the west, the indian territory on the north, and the Home district on the east: its extreme length, from north to south, exceeds 200 miles, and is in breadth, from east to west, in its widest part, nearly as much. Its surface is generally level, having few eminences-the principai of which is that ridge which forms the Falls of Niagara, as has been already mentioned.

The soil is, without exception, better then in any other part of the Canadas; the whole tract is alluvial in its formation, and the surface is a deep and rich vegetable mould, sometimes intermixed with a rich sandy loam, highly fertile in its properties--extensive quarries of limestone are to be found in various parts of this province; freestone is occasionally found on the shores of the lakes.

This section is divided into four districts -namely, the Gore, Niagara, London and Western; the whole is well watered by the following rivers, and their numerous branches, viz. the Thames, Ouse, Welland or Chippewa, Big Bear, and Maitland.

The Gore District is bounded on the north and east by the Home district; on the south, by lake Ontario, and the Niagara district; and on the west, by the London district and Indian territory. A considerable portion of this tract belongs to the Canada Company, who have built nearly in its centre, the town of Guelph, upon the river Speed, a branch of the Ouse(Grand).

This rapidly rising town was commenced by Mr. Galt, for the Canada Company, in 1827, and is now of considerable extent and importance, containing several places of worship, grist and saw mills, distileries, market-house, schools, printing office, hotels, and taverns, &c.; many new houses are erected every year, and the population is very considerable.

About eighteen miles from Guelph, in the township of Dumfries, the Hon. Mr. Dixon founded the town of Galt: its situation is excellent, and will, no doubt, attract settlers of respectability and capital. There are several villages rising into importance in the district, particularly on the main road from York to the Niagara district; the principal of which are, Ancaster, and Dundas.

This district is divided into eighteen townships, viz,. Trafalgar, Nelson, and Flamboro east, on the head of lake Ontario, called Burlington bay; Ancaster, at the extreme point of the bay, Beverley and, Dumfries, Esquising, Nassagiweya, Flamboro West, Puslinch, Waterloo, and Wilmot, Erin, Eramosa, Guelph, Garafraxa, Nichol, Woolwich, and the reserve for the six nations, or Aborigines of North America.

In many of the townships the farms have attained a well cultivated appearance, comfort and cheerful industry are very apparent, where the settlers are occupied in the clearing of land, or conducting the business of more advanced husbandry. The humble shanty, the original nest of the family, is frequently observed- beside the new and more extended mansion, and is calculated to form a useful memorial of the days when they entered the great Forest, but which a few short years have transformed into luxuriant fields of corn; and Mr. Fergusson states, that cleanliness and comfort seemed to prevail in the interior of each habitation, and that the women and children were particularly tidy and neat; he also speaks highly of Summer's tavern, in Nelson township, about thirty-five miles from York.

The surface of the country from Nelson to Guelph, is finely undulated, with copious springs, numerous rivulets, and romantic dells; the road in some is in a bad state, particularly when passing over swamps: it may not be amiss here to state, that the roads across swamps are formed of logs or trees, laid side by side, in consequence of which they have obtained the name of Corduroy's. The Canadian horses, with infinite caution, contrive to scramble over them; but a stranger feels rather uncomfortable at the occasional flounders of his horse in a mud hole, or the giving way of a rotten log. However, these little annoyances will soon be corrected; and even at present they only affect the settler in the summer months, at a time when he is least disposed to leave home, or make use of the roads;-a new bridge has been just erected across the river Speed, at Guelph, and round which the river flows.

The land in the township of Waterloo is very good, and the farms greatly improved; the stock large, and in excellent condition; the inhabitants, are mostly Dutch-their dwelling-houses, offices, and gardens, are kept with a degree of neatness not to be surpassed in Canada, occasionally the traveller meets the residence of a negro family, whose house and farm speak the steady labour that has been bestowed on them, and clearly proves, that the negro will not prove too indolent for labour in a state of freedom: numbers of these poor creatures escape from that land of liberty, the United States, and settle in various parts of the Canadas.

Galt is on the bank of the Ouse (Grand), and the proprietor of the township resides here; and by his judicious and liberal conduct, have produced a great influx of emigrants, from whom he receives payment of the purchase money of land by instalments, in money or produce, at such times as they can afford to pay; and even in some instances, he has supplied the means of purchasing oxen, implements, and seed. Flour and saw mills, cooperage, &c., have been established here; and it has been lately ascertained that the Ouse is navigable to the Welland canal, a distance, by water, of 100 miles, and which is a discovery of incalculable value to this district, as farming produce can now be conveyed by this line to lake Ontario, at one third the cost which had been theretofore incurred.

Many very superior lots of land are to be met with in this district, in convenient situations, and at moderate prices; the emigrant must not forget that in the Canadas a very few years produces more change in the appearance of the country, and in the value of land, than he can almost imagine; and that these changes are for the better, so much so, that it would almost require an annual publication to give a true picture of the Canadas.
