II. THE PROVINCES. ONTARIO AND QUEBEC (Old Canada). Canada is said to have been discovered by Sebastian Cabot in 1497; but this is not certain. In 1525, the French took possession of the country in the name of the King of France, and ten years later Cartier explored the St. Lawrence, so naming that splendid river from having entered it on St. Lawrence's day.

In 1608 Quebec, the first settlement, was founded. During their early days, and for a considerable time after, the French settlers were few in number, suffered great hardships, and were much engaged in conflicts with the Indian tribes, the aboriginal inhabitants. The principal incentives to their colonization were the profits of the fur trade and missionary zeal.

tory of Canada was ceded to Great Britain by t Treaty of Paris. It may be mentioned that three years, from 1629 to 1632, Quebec had been English possession, having been captured by o Kirk, but was retro-ceded to France by the pea of St. Germain-en-laye.

From 1763 to 1774, Canada was governed military authority, until in the latter year a nomin council was established by Act of the Parliame of Great Britain. By the same Act the Roma Catholics were allowed the free exercise of the religion: the Catholic Clergy were declared entitle to receive their accustomed dues and rights, b with respect only to those professing the Cathol religion; and in civil cases it was declared th resort should be had to the Laws of Canada for th decision of the same. The effect of this liberalit was made manifest upon the occasion of the Am rican Civil War, when the newly acquired, an then mainly Catholic province of Canada, remaine loyal to England in spite of seductive overture from the revolted Colonies.

In 1791 an Act of Parliament was passed (3 Geo. III., cap. 31), dividing Canada into tw Provinces, upper Canada (now Ontario) and lowe Canada (now Quebec), and establishing a constitu tion for each. As the form of government wa similar in each Province, a description of that o the Lower Province will suffice. By the Act of Parliament in question, the Legislative authority was vested in a Legislative Council appointed by the Crown, and in a House of Assembly elected by the inhabitants; the Lower Province was under a Governor, whilst the Upper was under a LieutenantGovernor. Both the Houses of Assembly thus created, and especially that of Lower Canada, were in constant conflict with the Executive Government from the end of the American War in 1814, until the Canadian Rebellion of 1838. The most fruitful causes of dissension were the right of the Assembly to control public expenditure, and the question of the "Clergy Reserves," lands appropriated by the Imperial Act of 1791 for the exclusive benefit of the Anglican Clergy. The immediate exciting cause of the Rebellion was the establishing, by Governor Sir John Colborne, of 37 rectories in Upper Canada.

After the reductionof the insurgents, the constitution of Lower Canada was suspended, and Lord Durham was sent out from England as Governor-General, with special powers and instructions to report on the affairs of the country. He recommended a Union of the Provinces, and indeed foreshadowed the larger confederation, which has since been adopted. In accordance with Lord Durham's recommenda tion, the two Provinces were re-united by an Act, 3rd and 4th Vic., cap. 35, and the Legislative Bodies of the united Provinces were consolidated: the new Legislative Council was to consist of not less than 20 members (it used in fact to exceed double that number); the members were appointed for life. The new House of Assembly consisted of 84 members, there being an equal proportion returned by either Province. In the same year (1840) also, Municipal Institutions were established in Canada.

The Provincial Legislature was empowered by Act 17 & 18 Vic., cap. 118 (1854), to constitute the Legislative Council an elective body.
