anothetypowerfully assisted too, by the apparent determination of the United States bank to cat up all the state banks immediately. The prospect before us is—that we shall have, in and near Baltimore only — [if they ca« live here] at lenst 2000 men, ^000 women and 2000 children, idle for the ensuing six months, who have hither¬ to been accustomed to labor, and are still willing to work, if they could get it to do. The men, mostly mechanics aud hardy laborers, might earn one dollar, the women forty cents, and the children 20ceuts9 per day, each, if pr#per employ¬ ment were furnished to them. 2000 men, or 2000 dollars for 150 days 2000 women, or 800 " 2000 children, or 400 » Doll's. 300,000 160.000 80,000 first loss 540,000 Add, for the cost of supporting those people in one way or another, levied upon the rest, not less than 5 O.GtO • Aggregate in six months D390,000 Who, that is acquainted with the pre¬ sent state of Baltimore, will say that this calculation is extravagant ? We believe it is very moderate ; and here we see that, in a mere pecuniary point of view, we shall lose more in six months by <hc uant ofemploy, than this city has made in any year, by its boasted commerce* for several years past. Further—how much shall we suffer by the depreciation of moral character ?— how much by depopulation, caused by poveity and wretchedness ?—how mueh by the dispersion of classes of people, the most useful of all to increase the na¬ tional wealth, and ^ive life to business by circulating money* which, it may be said, they can create ? Eve ry thing flags and must flag, when the laboring capacity of a country is unproductive. We are seriously of opinion, that the general loss to the United States for the present year, by reason of the uant of employment, is of greater amount, as a simple matter of money, than the aggre¬ gate of our exports. Still, we have sta¬ tute upon statute to protect and encour¬ age commerce, as though it were tlm main-spring of the nation's wealth !—and congtess, which evrry session spends week after week in regulating foreign trad**, %vill hardly devote an hour to considei and promote home industry ! u Let com¬ merce regulate itself," and a large part of our coasting trade would now be car- Tied on by the British. per Canada, and forthwith undciiook to illumine that region with his pure and pa¬ triotic principles.

Mr. G. however, by frequent stump orations, and numerous inflnmmatory publications, fpeedily and happily convinced a portion of the people, that no mortals but them¬ felves were ever before fo much abnfed and opprefled. This fortunate difcovery occafioned fomething of a "stir;" meet¬ ings were held, conventions were called, refolutions were pafTed, and all the ma¬ chinery put in motion for a revolution. But unluckily, juft at this anfpicious peri¬ od, the more fober, reflecting and resec¬ table people took the bufinefs in hand ; Gourlay's meetings were broken up ; his followers for the moft part avowed them¬ felves quite loyal 5 and he foon found him- felf fnugly in jail.

But ferioufly, although Mr. Gourlay continues to make confiderable noife in the upper province, we believe that little need be apprehended f:om his exertions or tal¬ ents.

Mr. Robert Gourlay, who came out from England about two years since, with a view, as it would feem from his writings, of revolutionizing the Britifh pofll-flions in America, continues to fow the feeds of diffatisfaction and contention in Upper Canada. Mr. Gourlay is a politician of the genuine Cobbett ftamp, and was ac¬ tively concerned in the famous Spa-Fields aflemblages, got up by Cobbett and Tan- de.n Hunt, in February, March and A- pril, 1817.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT. Dktiuct or Quebec. The weather fn»m the 2#d June till the middle of this month, was rainy, princi¬ pally heavy showers and thunder : the temperature of the air, frequently very warm. The la-t ten days have been dry and warm, the Thermometer frequently at 90- l/jj ia the middle of the month, vege¬ tation was very rapid and luxuriant, and the barley, wheat and rye shooting out into full ear. Some wheat and late sown oats in low rich grounds, however suf¬ fered by the wet, and although they have revived during the last ten days, they will not probably produce a crop equal to the same grain* on high aud li^ht soils. Spring wheat* generally throughout the District, is in blossom ; the early :<ort3 beginning to change colour, and the whole promises a most abundant crop. They will, however, be late in all the parishes below St. Roch. The extent s»own is greater than usual. Winter Wheat only begins to be In¬ troduced ; the small patches sown last year, have, however, resisted the last most unfavourable winter, and the ears are much larger than those of Spring Wheat. It is now nearly ripe. Barley promises to be an abundant crop, and some fields will be ready to cut by the end of this month. Oats* excepting in low grounds, look well, and are generally shot, the exteut alio greater than usual. Rye.—Sinre the misfortune by frost in August 18IM, great quantities of this grain have been sown in the lower par¬ ishes. It begins to change colour, and promises an abundant crop. Pease are unusually luxuriant ; the early sorts, many of which hate been dis¬ seminated by the Agricultural Society, are now fit lor the table. Potatoes.—This root, which was only itiiiuOuttu 11110 Canada alter the con¬ quest in 1760, is now extensively culti¬ vated on every farm. Since 1816, the quantity planted yearly has quadrupled, it having proved nearly the sole resource in that unfortunate year. The horse hoe begins now to be very generally used in this culture, but the drills are not suffi¬ ciently apart, being frequently only eigh¬ teen inches, whereas they ought at least to be twenty eight or thirty, and the po¬ tatoes are set in the drills, at three or four inches instead of eight or twelve. "Buck Wheat, is also more extensively cultivated than usual, and has been found very useful for fattening poultry and hogs. The strength of its stalks, would permit its being advantageously cultivated as a drill or fallow crop. Horse Beans* have been lately intro¬ duced, but have not had a fair trial.— Their excellence' given in small quanti¬ ties as food for work horses, is well known in Britain, and as they thrive on low rich lands and answer best in drills, their cultivation in such lands serves instead of a summer fallow. Turnips, cultivated in drills as a fal¬ low crop arc hardly yet known in this district. Some patches of them are how¬ ever occasionally met wifli and they look well, being of the second sowing, the first having generally been destroyed by the fly. In time we have 110 doubt their great value as a food for cattle, aud .1 drill crop will be fully appreciated ; sufficient experiments have now been made to shew that they thrive well and can be preserv¬ ed in this climate. Hay* will be but a middling crop, it having suffered by the drought after the melting of the snow and the frost trf the preceding winter. Till the lands are cleared of weeds by summer fallow or fallow crops with manure, and sown with grass seeds, Hay will be alvt as scarce and Agriculture languish. Flax.—Great quantities of this article is now cultivated in this district aud the produce is wrought up into coarse linen, for home wear. The farmer now finds himself compelled both to increase his stock of sheep and tirfs Article, in order to clothe himself during the present lowl prices of Agricultural produce in Great Britain. The crop this ycaris excellent. Garden stuffs hav^ recovered during the late rains, and still premise to fur¬ nish an ordinary supply* Fruit, in this dUfrict will fee abun¬ dant, considering the miserable state of the orchards, the treed of which are set too close-, unpruned and suffered to be overran with moss and devoured by cat- erpilhrs and lice. Upon the whole the present year pro¬ mises to be one of the most abundant in this district ; but the Reason of accidents is not yet parsed.—<28th July, I819. From the Western Star. LA CHINE CANAL.

From Quebec to York there ought to ex¬ ist a chain of Societies, having the same laws and regulations, or rather all belonging to the same general society. At Quebec iheie »ugtit to be established an Emigrant office, under the couirol of a Board or Couiuniiee of Gentlemen, who should also be members of the Committee of the general Society. An Agent or Secretary, with a moderate salan, should be appointed to attend and transact the business of this Office—and be ought to be officially supplied with information respecting even the remotest corners of the pro¬ vinces. The Board or Committee might sit monthly, or oftener, according to the exigepey of the times; and at each meeting two of their members ought to be appointed to act in conjunc¬ tion with the Agent or Secretary, aud to furnish to th»- sick aud the needy, me&ns of relief from the fund? of the Society, At Kingston another such office, with a Committee and Secretary, ought to be established to act tor the I'pper Pro¬ vince. The expense to the Government in an establishment Of this kind would be merely the salary of the Secretary and the office rent. It would be unnecessary to have more than two such establishments, and Quebec and Kingston appear to be the places where they would be the most useful and efficient. Of course it *ia desira¬ ble that Branch Societies should be generally es¬ tablished in everj town or village. If seme sys¬ tem of the above kind were to be adopted the Americans would no longr have it in their power to twit US, bytelling lisof41 the partiality of Bri- \ tish Emigrants for the Vidted Sfates** Give the Emigrant rooderaJeencouragement, and he will remain wiihtn: neglect him and he tvill fly to those who e aims ;4re open to receive |j|.n, even though he mav have been taught tu suspect the motive of their apparent kindness.
