Mr. Holt of Richmond, moved for ap- few persons have more attentively considered, or better understood tho poL-ical and commer cial interests of nations, than the late Dr. Ad am Smith, and no one could ho a more zealous advocate for the extension of Inland Navigation as an effectual means of improving the country in wh en it is encouraged; to this purpose lie ebseivus, in his Wealth of Nations, That good roads, canals, aud navigable rivers, by diminishing the expense of carriage, put the re- pointnient of a committee to prepare, and re- ! mote pans of a country more nearly upon a lev- port a bill to amend tiie 1st section, of the 3d cl with those in the neighborhood of large article, of the Constitution.

They ato advantageous to towns, by breaking down die monopoly of tho coun.ry in their neighborhood, and they are advantageous to all pans of die country; for though they introduco some rival commodities into the old m irke.s, they open many new mar kets n) their produce. Dr. Sniidi likewise states in 1776—It is no moie than filly years, that some of the counties in die neighbot hop! of London petitioned the Parliament a- gainst the extension of the Turnpike Roads in to the remoter parts of the coun.ry. The re- rroter counties they pretended, from the cheap- less of labour, would be able to r.cil their grass tnd corn cheaper in the London markets than themselves, and would thereby reduce their rents aud rum their cultivation: their rents however have risen, and tite r cultivation has been improved ever since th.it time.

On motion of Mr. Myers, tho lionso took up tho report, in relation to tho contested election from Wayne county, and spent the day in de bating thereon. Saturday, November IS. On motion—the Speaker having leave of ab sence—the house proceeded to elect a Speaker All Canals may be considered ns so m.ttty roads of a certain kind, on which one horse will draw us much sis 30 horses on ordinary turnpike roads, or on which ouc man alone will transport as many goods as 3 men aud 18 horses usually do on common roads. The public would bo groat gainers, were ihcv to lay out upon the making of every mile of Canal, twenty times us much as they expend upon a mile of Turnpike Knud ; but a mile of Canal is often made at less expense than a mile of Turnpike: consequently, there is a great in ducement to multiply the number of Canals. The advantages resulting from Cantus, as they open an easy and cheap communication be tween distant parts of a country, will bo ulti mately experienced by persons of various des criptions, and more especially by the manufac turer, the occupier or owner Of land, aud the me chant. Tho manufacturer will be thus enabled to col lect hiymateriuls, bis fuel, his means of subsist ence, from remote districts with loss labour and expense, and to convey his goods to a profitable market. / As Canals multiply, old manufactures revive and flourish, new ones are established, and the adjoining country is rendered populous and productive. To the occupier of land, Canals are useful in a variety of ways: in some cases they serve the purposes of draining and irrigation; in oth ers iney furnish manure at a cheap rate j and they facilitate tho conveyance of produce ttf places, where it may he disposed of to the great- Canal 14 yards wide takes up little more than five acres of land. In all ages, and in all countries, very great atienfion has been paid to Inland Navigation; —We read of considerable works having been completed in the Babylonish prosperity; the Egyptians likewise completed very extensive works—amongst many others, they opened a communication through the Isthmus of Suez, from tlte Red Sea io the Mediterranean; the Romans executed very considerable works in the i’omptiiio Marshes of Italy; they like wise in dieir victorious career, were not inat tentive to such improvements in other coun tries ; in England they made many roads, rem nants of which arc to ho - found to this day: they finished an extensive Inland Navigation from the Nen to the William, having been em ployed to survey a Canal in the same direction, I met with several vestiges of it, which shew plainly it had been on a very, magnificent scale. It is I believe, from llf.s navigation alone that, that part of the country has to boast of the finest churches and cathedrals which tire to he found in England. It is supposed to have been near Milan, in Italy, where the first Ca nal lock was constructed. Innumerable Canals havo been mado in France, Spain, Russia, Holland, Denmark and Sweden. In China it is supposed Inland Nav igation commenced at a much earlier period th tn any where else. It is said to have begun 200 yerrs before the Christian era. Although tho jealousy of those people has prevented strangers from exploring their country, yet Lord Macartney and Sir George Staunton, on their embassy, had an opportunity of seeing some of their Inland Navigations, which arc spoken of as being most extensive. The rais ing of vewsels from one level to another by lockage, remains still unknown in that country. In China no pleasure grounds or gardens - , not even those of the Empeior, ato allowed to in terfere with the course of a Canal; when a nav : - gation enters the pleasure ground or garden of tho Emperor, he performs ihc ceremony of digging the first spade of earth pronouncing in an audible voice, “This is to let those in infe rior stat ions know that no private pleasure shall obstruct the public good.” It has been reckoned by some that the Ca nals arc so numerous,in China, that nearly one half of its inhabitants live upon them. There, some of tho canals are upon a prodigious scale, tin; largest is said to be 1000 feet wide. It is supposed tho Inland Navigation of the country of Bengal gives employment to 30,000 boat men, who ate employed in conveying by wa ter, through tiic Ivngdom of Bengal and its de pendencies, all die salt and food consumed by ten millions of people. In Russia, the tiViti- ral and artificial communications are very ex tensive. It i*. said to bo possible to convey goods from the frontiers of China by writer io St. Pe tersburg for a distance of 4472 miles, with an interruption only of about (iO miles, and from Astracan through a tract of 1434 miles.

It may also bo added, that an inland commu nication between parts of a country at a great distance from one another, contribute to the security, as well as the extension of commerce, in the boisterous months of winter, and in times of war, when the navigation of the seas would be dangerous.'' < ' If a comparison is made of two States, the one having all its cities and towns upon navi gable rivers, and Canals that have easy com munication with each other, the other possess ing tho common conveyance of land carriage; and supposing them at the same time to be e- qual as to soil, climate and industry ; commodi ties and manufactures in the former Siute, might be exported thirty per cent, cheaper than in the latter: or in othor words, the first State would be one third richer than the other. Should it ho objected to, that Canals waste or occupy too great a proportion of land in the countries through which they pass, tho objection may be obviated by the fuct that one mile of akes in that country have been in part united by Canals, and form very extensive Inland Navigations. In the year 1810, I was cm ployed to survey and lay out the route of a Canal in that cotintiy fiom the INortti the Baltic, for sea-going vessels; this Canal us been completed for some years, and is now n full operation: some superb lockage has been executed; those built to overcome tbc Fails of the Trollhatta are tho finest works of the kind I have witnessed. A considerable length of the Canal, and the whole of the lock -its have been cut out of solid granite rock.— The fall at this place is 100 feet, and it was not until after several unsuccessful attempts that they succeeded: the quantity of water and the rugged ness of the precipice make those fills tremendous, so much so, that the people of the country call them “ihc gulph of Hell.” In Denmark n Canal has been made from the German Ocean to the Baltic, its length upwards of 20 miles, and calculated to transport vessels of 120 tons burthen In Holland and Flanders, Canals arc al most innumerable, and they serve the purpose of public roads in conveying goods and passen gers; the revenue derived from'these C-n -ls almost \xceeds belief. It is said $ 1,000,000 Iwvo been levied for 40 miles of Navigation: they are generally on a large scale, 60 feet wide by 6 feet deep. tn Spain, several Canals have been begun and some completed, but like every thing else in that ill-fated country, they have for the great est part, been allowed to go to destruction. In France, a great number of Canals have been made; they are still in a good condition, and found to be very useful for commercial purposes. The most magnificent of these, is the Cana] of Lauguedoc, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with tho Mediterranean, its length is about 180 miles, its breadth -including towing paths is 140 feet, and 6 fort deep; it cost about two millions and a half of dollars; the trade upon it has never been so great as to afford a sufficient revenue for the expenditure. It is probable, it was seeing what had been done on this superb work, that first gave the impulse to Canal making in Great Britain. Although a few attempts were t rude at Ca nal work in England, at rather an e; i lier period, yet it was not until tho year 17 9 when tho Duke of Bridgewater .contmcnrijl his opera tions, that any thing was done tin a magnifi cent scale; so many difficulties/occurred on has been very lately complotcd-Its Lockage ha* been built and its channel excavated of cicnt capacity to admit a 32 gun frigate with all her appointmentson board. It extends through a chain of Lakes from the Eastern to the West ern shores of Scotland, and avoids the circuitous and very dangerous passage of the Pent and Firth. This herculean undertaking was begun and completed under the direction of my ts- teemed friend tint! patron, Thomas Telford. Tho commercial Canals of Great Britain arc uniformly made for boats of seven feet beam, or those of fourteen feet beam; the rea son they are thus arranged is that, the one contains a cargo for the draught of one: horse, and tho other for two horses; the common load they carry is from ‘20 to 25 tons for one horse, and from 40 to 50 tons of goods for two horses, exclusively of the boat. It lias been found that the small size is generally more profitable for tho proprietors than the large. Tunncllimr, which is one of the most ex pensive operations in canal making, litis been executed to a great extent; numbers of tunnels are to be found, of from 1-2 mile to 4 miles in length, and it is supposed that the tunnels in the Duke of Bridgewater's Coal Mines, extend to upwards of 18 miles in length. The Huddersfield Tunnel is 3 miles iq length; there are many ethers upwards of two miles. Aqueducts have been built of great magni tude over ravines and rivers; the principal of these is, one over tho Kelvin River on the Clyde and Forth Ship Canal in Scotland; this is 400 feet in length, and 70 feel from the sur face of the riser below, to the top level of the Cao - il. This aqueduct was considered for some time as the greatest work of the kind in Britain. Another over the Lovnc on the Lan- ! caster Canal, consisting of five arches of 70 foot span each, and 5l feet high. A third at Chak on the Ell-mere ^Janal of 600 feet in length, and 65 feci high'} on the same naviga tion there is another over the river Dee at P on:cy Sylly in the vale of Llangollen—this is constructed partly of stone and partly of I iron; the trough in wh.ch -he water for navi gation is contained, is composed of plates of iron suppoi ted on ribs of cast iron: it is 20 feet wide, G feet deep, and 320 feet long; the trough is supported on 19 stone pillars 52 feet I asunder, the middle piers arc 125 feet high— ibis last is pet baps the lightest and most heauti-1 ful thing of tlte kind in the world ; these aque- | ducts were built under the direction of Smea- ton, Ki'tut'e, and Telford. It is no uncommon, but a very pleasing sight I to see two boats navigating, in traifverse direc-J tinns on two CanaL, .lie one over the other. | So many woiks of difficulty have been com pleted m Great Britain, that hardly any tb.ng I ■ considered to be too arduous iov undertaking. There has lately been completed by Mr. Tel ford, a Chain Bridge over the Straits of Me- which separates the Island of Anglcscal fiom the main Jand; it is 560 feet from abut-1 mont to abutiSent, without any intermediate! support, and 120 feet High from the at rfi.ee of I die tideway, so hat a ship can pass under Withj all her masts and ripgins standing.
