POSTSCRIPT. 



Since the foregoing notes have come from the press,, the Editor Is informed 

 that the Dundas Street has been considerably improved between the head of 

 Lake Ontario and York, and that the Government has contracted for the open- 

 ing of it from that city to the head of the Bay of Quinte, a distance of 120 miles, 

 aq well as for causewaying of the swamps and erecting the necessary bridges ; 

 so that it is hoped in a short time there will be a tolerable road from Quebec to 

 the capital of the Upper Province. 



Lands have been appropriated in the rear of York as a refuge for some French 

 royalists, and their settlement has commenced. 



In consequence of the increase of population, and for other reasons, an Act of 

 the Provincial Parliament has lately passed for the further division of the Pro-' 

 vince, by which the districts are divided into twice their late number. Nineteen 

 covered waggons with families came in to settle in the vicinity of the County of 

 Lincoln about the month of June last, and the facility with which some of these 

 people travel, particularly in crossing the small rivers, deserves to be noticed. 

 The body ot their waggons is made of close boards, and the most clever have 

 the ingenuity to caulk the seams, and so by shifting off the body from the car- 

 riage, it serves to transport the wheels and the family. 



The salt springs in the vicinity of the Trent have not p'"Oved so productive^as, 

 from the first report of them, it was hoped they would.
