139 is magnificent, particularly that in the neiplihourhood of Bytown. The country on the banks of the (Ottawa is not generally veil adapted for farming; much of tjie land being of poor quality, and the winter of rather too great length. The principal importance of the Ottawa arises from the immense qnantityôf fine timber cut on its banks, and the banks of its tributaries. The prinei])al jwrtiou '. \^d. per cwt. ; and in this charge of l.s'. Gd. per cwt. is included an allowance for a month's storage at the Calumet, when required. The difference in transport is therefore 4.s-. lîl. per cwt.; and, as the quantity of pork, flour, goods, &c., for- V arded during the past season amounted to nearly 364 tons, the saving to the hnuber trade at this point, in the matter of forwarding alone, amounts to £1,501 lOs.
