Western Canal.
It is a well ascertained fact, that the niim
fcer of inhabitants west of the Abegnany
Mountains, is now prefer than was the whole
population of the United States at the tune
of the declaration of our independence.
Notwithstanding this, tnat vast country
has (comparatively speaking) but just com
menced its settlement, and may s'ill be con
sidered in its infancy. Cultivation of the
Jmiul it, and for a longtime must be, the
principal business of our citizt-n* in that
quarter; of course, little attention has been
paid as yet to Manufacturei.
Theie facta show the importance of that
Section of the union, and that the inhabi
tants and settlers must, to a very great ex
tent, depend on American manufactures fur
their consumption ; all articles, therefore,
with which they are to he supplied by the
insnufacturea in the New-England states,
must pass through the great Western Canal.
Os these, it 9hould be rt+ueinbered, that do
mestic cotton and woollen goals, together
withal) the variety of cutlery and hardware,
are the principal.
Connected wuh the above facts, it ought
to be stated that the transportation from Al
bany to Buffalo has lately stood at about $4
per 100 cwt. making gBO per ton ; while
the expense of Canal transportation will not
exceed g 4 per ton, with the toll inclusive ;
thereby saving about $76 on the transpor
tation of each tun, which is ascertained to
be three tunes the amount of freight of one
ton from tue city of New-York to the city
of Canton.
Again, when it is considered with how
much ease families can remove to the lands
Which they own in the west, and with what
facility and delight emigrants thither can oc
casionally revisit their friends and the spot
of their nativity, the mind is at once im
pressed with the magnitude and importance
of this great inland communication.
It is in truth a subject of gralulation and
joy to every friend of the country to learn,
that the full accomplishment of this noble
enterprise is no longer doubtful. We,
therefore, hail the state of New-York, (proud,
as she ought to he,) fur her perseverance
towards the completion of the Grand Canal,
a work, which was declared by u late Presi
dent of the United States, to be beyond the
ability of the Union to accomplish.
If it be so, that tue Uenera! Government,
Which is considered the common parent of
the Slates, lias neither the power nor ability
to make improvements such as this canal,
W e ought m >st assuredly to rejoice that the
Hate of Aeio- fork, in hertelf alone, poetesses
both.
By means offt'scommunication, landow
ners who a l»nd>. ..re situated on the Atlan
tic enssi can • e turn.shed with a full sup
ply of exir' 1 nit Plainer of Paris, of which
there is an inexhaustible quantity near the
Canal, and that, without being dependent on
Nova Scotia lor a ha-dlul. It is asserted of
this plaister, that it will answer a valuable
purpose on our lands, where Nova Scotia
plaister has no effect.
An immense quantity of excellent Salt is
now made at the salt works near this canal,
and is so low as to be afforded at 62 1-2 cents
per barrel, with the barrel included, each
containing five bushels. There is, however,
at this time, a state duty on the article ap
propriated towards building ihe canal ; so
that the cost is now 10- 6d N. York curren
cy per barrel ; but even with this heavy
Cuty, the salt, by means of canal convey
ance, can be sold in Boston much lower
than any other of equilly good quality,
Yte shall never, therefore, be dependent on
any foreign market for that art.cle.
Add to this, great abundance of Water
Lime lor constructing cisterns, locks, and
other works connected with water, can be
furnished through this canal for all the At
lantic coast ; which will wholly exclude
from the U. States the Duke of Bridgewa
tn’s lime, and all other similar lime from
the continent of Europe.
The surplus Sugar and .Molasses of the
Western countn, provided the establish
ments tor the. manufacture of these articles
continue to increase as they have tor the
last 2 years, wdi by means of ibis canal, sup
ply any d.fic ency w hich can happen in the
Nrw-Etig and State-, by reason ol anv re
strictive measures that may be imposed on
our commerce bv foreign powers. Good
sugar it now told in the State of Ohio, at
per IJO w t.
f i short, this Canal will be the greet liga
ture winch ia forever to bind the people of
thr feast to those ol the West. It will keep
up between a ceasehss intercourse of plea
sure and of business.
Thus we see the State of New York
arresting h -r commercial emerpnze to cov
er tlie produce o! the North and the Wcsi •
opening her great marts to receive the
wealth of a newly, acquired empire ; an run

New-Orleans. Then the people ot those
States would be sure of a good northern
market, and New-York would acquire addi

FR»M IHE MEW YORK SPECTATOR,
Chinese Character.
W’e some weeks ago published an abstract
of the Report of a Committee- of the House
of Lords, on the Foreign t rade of Great
‘Britain. The evidence taken by the Com
mittee was voluminous, and some of it high
ly interesting. We extract the following
passages, winch exhibit striking traits of tiie
Chinese character, and shew the difficulties
that attend commtnercial transactions with
China. They are from the evidence of
Wd is.a Simons, Esq. Clerk to the Commit
tee of Ware-hoir-C', winch Com mittee has
the general management of the East I ,du
Company’s commerce :
“ The uncontrolled introduction of Bri
tish ships and seamen into China, would
lead to difficulties which, pcrlup-, might
bring ruin upon the woole British trade.
I fear it would be so from my reading ; I
have no personal knowledge upon the sub
ject, not having been in China.— The Cln
nrse laws for the governme.it of the con
duct of a l persons frequenting Canton, .ire
extremely strict : and, in cases of homicide,
however accidental, lh< laws are cruel in
the highest degree, and altogether unsuita
ble to European maxims and principles. I
have heard, that in the case of ihe ship, La
dy II ighcs, the gunner was firing a -alute
upon some public occasion, the Chinese
boats wi-re lying about, and by accident the
wadding struck a mm, and killed -him, and
also hurl another, who eventually died from
the hurt ; it was perfectly accidental ; the
Chinese author tics, however, stopped the
trade, and threatened to seize all the for
eigners m the port, and particularly the
Chief of the Bogush Factory. After a
good deal to do, they were constrained to
give up the unhappy gunner to the Chi
nese authorises, d ing all that men could
do to save his ide; the local authorities
gave tnem reason to suppose that his lifa
would be spared ; but they said they must
reier it to the Emperor. Ihe late Empe
ror, feicn Long, was considered to be a very
humane mail, bat the Emperor’s edict was
that as the foreigners had killed two of his
subjects, he would manifest bis unbounded
goodness and mercy, by requiring tlie life
ol only one of the strangers, and therefore
he ordered that the gunner should be put
to death, and he was strangled accordingly,
although it was admitted on ail hands that
the cause of offence was a perfect accident.
“ IJow l°"P ago jvas tiffs instance ?
“ About t nrty vears ago. About eight or
nine years ago there was a ship lying in the
China River, moored with two hawsers ; a
Chinaman came in a boat with an axe to cut
one away ; the man on deck told him to
xeep off, but lie would not, upon which the
man on deck took up fire-arms and fired, not
at the man, nor meam gto do it, nor did he
oo him, but the man m his fear fell over
>oat\t and was drowned; Ins friends set up
iue appeal of blood, as they call it, and it
cost about 29,000/ in bribes to get the mat
er suppressed, which was paid by the Hong
Merchants. A third case occurs to me, ofa
seaman, who was intoxicated, beating a Clii
«ese porter with a stick ; the Chinese por
er was not s >ber himself. From bruizes
■nd intoxication the Chinaman died, and Ins
untr)men brought his body and put it a
; oust the Enghsli factory, and insisted on
avmg sonic Englishman (they did not care
“0 R***n up ; it u as to keep up their own
■itacirr wilt, the Emperor. ! hat was re
rred to the Emperor, but the author,ties
. of Canton bad been bribed with a very large
sum of money—it was said eighty thousand
dollars : and the result was, that the report
to the Emperor alleged the man’s death to
have been caused by the fall of a piece of
wood which had been incautiously placed 10
prop open an upper window ot the English
Factory. A fine was inflicted upon some
body of twelve ta;es, amounting so 4/; so
that any homicide may be got over for mo
ney, provided an appeal is prevented being
made by the family. The inference I would
take the liberty of suggesting from this is,
that the East India Company having a per
manent establishment of houses and ware- j
houses, and tangible property, in China, to I
a large amount, in case of any dispute with
other British subjects, the Infra Company
would be sure to stand in the gap—to make
up all public grievance® - *' 1 "! therefore the
danger to the Company ol uneducated Bri
tish subjects going out as ma ters ot ships,
possibly hot-headed and unthinking men,
who might get into those difficulties.”
F. H. Toone, Esq. win him been a siiper
. cargo at Canton for fifteen years, gives the
following statement also of a circumstance,
which, be observes, occasioned 41 a very em
barrassing negociation with the Chinese.”
“ flume seamen, I believe belonging to
the ship Cumberland, were in Canton, be
tween whom and a Chinese a dispute was
said to have arisen, which terminated in .he
murder of the latter. This occasioned a
demand being made to the Company’s ser
vant on the part of the Government, that
the murderer should be g ven up for trial ;
every endeavor was made to discover the
offender, but we couid not attach sufficient
guilt to any person, or obtain sufficient evi
dence to justify the Company’s servants in
stating the name of any particular person
to the Chinese, as the one they thought the
offender.—l believe the trade was suspend
ed for six weeks or two months by the Chi
nese, and the discussion was ultimately set-
I tied, if my recollection serves me right, by
the man whom the Chinese believed to be
the culprit being sent to England, with a
promise on the part of the supercargoes,
that the Government of England would
cause him to be tried, and, if found guilty,
to be punished. The Canton Government
would not listen, to those or to any other
terms of accuniipodatioii for upwards of six
weeks, during which the trade was entirely
suspended.”
A circumstance, similar to those above
related, occurred very recently at Canton,
where the fllih mate of the Company’s ship
London, accidentally shot a Chinese ; but
the matter was arranged without sacrificing
a British life as an atonement.
Jt>\u\ Adams.
As every thing which comes from the
44 sage of Quincy” excites merited interest
with the community, we have soliciitd for
publication a copy of the following letter :
Montickllo, July 16, 1821.
Gerry Fairbanks, Esq.
Sin—l thank you tor an ingenious and
pleasing oration, pronounced by you on the
4th ol July. The spirit of moderation and
impartiality, which runs through it, is very
amiable ; and keeps pace with the spirit of
liberty and patriotism which adorns it. It
is not in my power to point out particularly,
the beauties or faults in this composition ;
but I beg leave to suggest a query, whether
it is worth while for us to take much notice
of the British claims of superiority over us.
We must candidly acknowledge, that they
greatly exceed us in many respects : First,
in antiquity. \Te are but two hundred years
old. They are two thousand, and if the
bards and ballads of*(he Welsh, and the
monuments of literature and science of the
Druids, had not been unfortunately lost,
they might, but for wliat we know, have
boasted of two thousand more, nearly as
respectable as any. Secondly, their gen
tlemen’s seats in tue country are much more
elegant than ours. Our Lyntau’s aud Quin
cy’s ; our Perkin’s and Derbys; our Wells’
and Parsons’ ; our Gores and Preblcs, can
exhibit nothing comparable to Hagley,
Mount Edgcomb or Stowe. We have no
pleasure grounds nor gravel walks, winding
round a cuinnass of a naif a dozen miles, in
Hogarth’s waving line of beauty, ornament
ed w ith flowers and roses, with forest trees
and shrubberies collected from all parts of
the world, to be compared with theirs. Wts
have no country houses presenting a front
of thirteen hundred and fifty teet, Willi porti
coes, supported by pillars of ma ble and
composition, of splendour and magnificence,
tu be compared to theirs. We have no
temples to Bacchus, or to Venus, or to Vic
tory. We have not a Corinthian gate, which
would cost the pnee of a country with us,
through which you enter, to behold with
surprise the astonishing front of a palace.
Indeed we have not an ornamented farm to
be compared with that at Woburn, Payne’s
hill, or even flhentone’s Leasowes. Third
ly, they excel us in a national debt, that in
exhaustible source of natio ,al and individu
al wealth, by a sagacious speculation in which
a man may make a hundred thousand pounds
sterling in a night.—Such a debt is a fertil
izing source of literature and science. It
enables thousands and tens of thousands to
purchase books and libraries, to the great
encouragement of authors ; to employ their
leisure and exert then genius in illuminat
ing the world. Fourthly, ww have not as
jet been blessed with generals and admirals,
whose bravery and patriotism have conquer
ed sixty or a hundred millions of people,
absu'idbig in all the richest productions of
the earth, or who have swept from the ocean
all the commerce of the world. There are
many other articles in winch they outstrip 1
us in the race of competition, but f have not :
time to enumerate more, and must conclude !
abruptly by subscribing myseifyour obliged
friend and humble servant.

CURIOSITIES OF LITERATURE.
We hardly know any subject better ealeu- I
lated to amuse the man of literary taste and
research, than the style and manner of ser
monizing in England, at different periods
since the Reformation. Among all the curi
osities of literature, we have never met with
any thing more worthy of that title, than
the discourses of the celebrated Latimer, i
Bishop of Worcester, one of the Martyrs in
the -a iguinaiy reign of Mary. The follow
ing passage from a sermon of his, in the time
of Edward VI. in which, among other evils
of the times he mtroducedtlie subject ofju
dicial br.bery and corruption, may serve as a
specimen of Ins plain, bold, and pungent man
ner. when preaching before tile court.
44 Now a-days, the judges are aliaid to
hear a poor man against the rich : they will
'her pronounce against him, or drive off
t te su t, mat he shau not be able to go thro’
wit:. i T . lint Use :,re.iU*>t man iu the rea.m
cannot so hurt a juuge as a poor widow: »ucu I
a alirewd turn can she do him. The cries
of the poor ascend to heaven, and call down
vengeance from God. Cambises was a great
Emperor, such another as our master is : he
had many lord presidents, lord deputies, and
lieutenants under him :—lt chanced he had
under him, in one of Ins dominions, a briber,
a gift-taker, a gratifier of rich men. The
cry of a poor widow came to the emperor’s
ears; upon which be flayed the judge quick
and laid his skin in the chair of judgment;
that all judges that should give judgmeni
afterwards should sit in the same skin. Sure-
I ly it was a goodly sign, the sign of the
| judge’s skin. I pray God we may once
see the sign of the skin in England.”
Speaking of the progress of the reforma
tion, he says—“lt was yet but a mingle
mangle, and a hotch-potch : I cannot tell
whai, partly popery, and partly true religion
mixed together. They say in my country,
when they call their hogs to the swine
trough.—Come to thy mingle-mangle, come
poor, come. Even so do they make min
gle-mangle of the gospel. I lity clatterand
prate ol it, but when all cometh to all, they
joined popery so with it’ that they married
all together.
[,V. T. Daily Adv.
Moderate Wishes the true source of
Happiness.
There would be a lar greater proportion
of happiness in this world, if mankind, (ob
serves the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser,J in
stead of continually grasping for more than
they can obtain, would set reasonable bounds
to their desires. There must necessarily
be misfortune and distress in the world;
but the comforts and pleasures of file, can
always be made greatly to counterbalance
those calamities, and their attendant evils.
Contentmeni renders a mess of pottage more
savory to the. palate of the cottage, than the
richest viands are to those who are rolling
iu wealth; out whose insatiable thirst for j
gain will not allow them to think they have !
enough. Our countrymen are constantly ]
murmuring. Turn which way we will, we ;
are sure to have our ears saluted with the
cry of Hurd Times. And many paragraphs 1
in our country newspapers, particularly j
those from the western States, are of such
a desponding and gloomy nature, that if
they should chance to find their way to Eu
rope, they Would believe us to be little if
any better off, than the peasantry of the
Emerald Isle, of the halt-starved manulac
tures ol Manchester. And what cause have
we thus lo murmur andcnmplain ?—lt is our
happy I.it to iive under an excellent gov
ernment, administered by men ol our own
choice. We have a fruitifu! country', with
a varied, yet healthful climate, that enables
us to produce of the necessaries, and many j
of the luxuries of life. True, our country j
has suffered for two or three years past,
from a change in the commercial world, a.id !
in consequence of our own extravagance.
But have we not enough to eat, to drink i
and to wear? Our fieids wave with the
golden corn, our meadows with luxuriant ;
burdens, and our orchards yield a rich va
riety of delicious f ruits. And if for want of
a market for our surplus produce, we are
not able, as formerly, to amass fortunes in a
day, we have still abundant cause for grati- ;
tude to that Almighty Being who causes so
many blessings to 44 cluster around our
dwellings.’’ \Ve have only to curtail our ex
penses, to affix reasonable bounds to out d: -
sres to be industrious, economical anu r 0..
tented—to be hapjiy. Nor riches, nor fame,
nor what the world calls pleasures, will give
us happiness; and if we search the w. H
round, we shall findai last, that moth 'ate wishes
are the source of what generation alter 6
iteration have labored in vain to find. The
following story is a beautiful illustration of
what we have here advanced;—The youth
ful shepherd, Meualcus, being in search of
a stray lamb from Ais flock, discovered in
the recesses of the forest of a hunter, stretch
ed at the foot ol a tree, exhausted with fa
tigue and hunger. Alas ! shepherd, lie ex
claimed, 1 came here yesterday in pursuit
of game ; and have been unable to retrace
the path by which 1 entered this frightful
solitude, or discover a vestige of a human
footstep—l faint with hunger—give me re
lief, or l die ! Meualcus, supporting the
stranger in his arms, fed him with brea.l
from liia scrip, and afterwards conducted
him through the intricate mazes of the for
est in saiety. Meualcus about to take leave
of the Hunter Eschinus, was detained by
him. Thou hast preserved my life, shep
herd. he said, 1 will make thine happy.
Follow me to the city. Thou shalt no long
er dwell in a miserable cottage, but inhabit
a superb palace, surrounded with lofty co
lumns of marble. Thou shalt drink high
flavored wine out of golden goblers, and
eat the most costly viands from plates of
silver.—Meualcus replied, why should I go
to the city ? My little cottage shelters me
from the rain and the wind. It is not sur
rounded by marble columns, but with deli
cious fruit trees, from which I gather my
repast; and nothing can be more pure than
the water which I draw in my earthen pitch
er from the stream that runs by my do r.
Then on holidays I gather roses ami lilies
to ornament my little table, and those
roses and lilies are more beautiful, and
smell sweeter, than vases of gold and sil

COURT OF SESSIONS—August 9th.
The People, vs. W'm. Baldwin U M'm. Brown.
Monday evening of last week, Baldwin
and Brown went into the store id the in
formant, Howe, where Baldwin called lor a
glass of liquor tor each, and paid for it with
a five dollar bill, which Howe in ten minutes*
as he said, after he had changed it, was dis
covered to be counterfeit; out they were
both off. —He saw no more of them till Thurs
day, when Brown came ini© die store to
purchase something else, and Howe recol
lecting his countenance, inquired lor the
other man (Baldwin) who was in the store
with him the Monuay before, and passed a
g 5 note to him.—Brown denied knowing
much about him, but however said he could
tell where he lived, and in fact started with
Howe to go to the place when the} g-ot
into the street, he suddenly changed 111 s
mind, halted, and told H. “he would be
d dis he would go.’* They stood al
tercating a tew minutes, when Baldwin hap
pened to come along on the opposite side of
the street, and Brown very honestly pointed
him out to Howe, and said “ there he goes
nor.i>.” He had just bt-iui e passed another
counterfeit to a Mrs. Hardin, at.U one Hy
field, a witness on the triai, was at the very
instant coming up with h.m in pursuit. Hy
field seized him at once—charged mm with
the crime, and demanded to know it lit had
any more bad money about bun: which he
denied —but just as they were going- to
search him, he adroitly slipped something
