We have received two maps, Asia and Canada, from Messrs.

W. and A. K. Johnston. The scale of the first is 144-5 miles to the inch, of the second 44. It will give some idea of the vastness of the Dominion if we state that with this scale the map measures from east to west about seven feet. This means about three thousand seven hundred miles. If this were represented on the largest scale used by the Ordnance Survey, the map would be a mile and a half long. Both are executed in the style which we expect from Messrs. Johnston. The Canada map has been engraved, &c., for the "George M. Hendry Company of Toronto." In this the metals, &c., which are known to exist in the various localities are indicated.
