On my arrival in Kingston was disappointed
in the appearance of the place and of the society
there. Nature has done her part, but Art is very
backward to perform her duty. There are few
good buildings, and several Churches, Sabbath
Schools, &c. as well as many excellent persons
but Society IN general is very poor The lower
class appear to have neither the means nor the
disposition TO make either their houses or persons
appear comfortable.


Along the Bay Of Quintce the country on both
sides appears delightful The crops are fine, the
houses and improvements generally good, and the
people appear to live well. The different denonl-
nations have their places of worship, and the
Episcopal Alelhodists are increasing fast in that
quarter. The Rev. John Reynolds is their
Bishop. Hc IS Il plous and good man, OF liberal

Mr.. Bailey has been cmincntly useful since his
residence in the Province.

introduced TO the Rev. Or. Ryerson who is the
President of the College, and by him conducted
through the principal part of the same. He is &
very polite gentleman and good scholar. Bu
owing to the absence Of the Treasurer, Rev. Johr
Beatty, | had not the pleasure of seeing the Lii
brary and other apparatus of the College.

opposite side, IN the States, and the people live
more comfortable and happy.
