POETRY.
Mr. Belioni, the celebrated traveller in Egypt,
has aade more discoveries in the remains of an
tiquity in that extraordinary region, than any,
and perhaps all other modern adventurers.—
Many curiosities of great value hare been re
moved by him to England, and exhibited there’
for the gratification of the British publick.—
Among other things in the collection is a very
ancient Mummy,* which has excited the atten- 1
tion of at least one poetical genius, who has
published the following little poem on the sub-’
ject, which, for merit in its own peculiar way,
We have rarely seen equalled.
JV. Y. Daily Adr.
■Address to the Mummy at Belzoni's Exhibition.
And thou hast walk’d about, (how strange a story)
In Thebes'’ street three thousand years sgo,
When the Memnonium was in all its glory ;
And time had not begun to overthrow
Those temples, palaces and piles stupendous,
Os which the very nisi are tremendous.
Speak ! for thou long enough hast acted Dummy;
Thou hast a tongue—come—let us hear its tone;
Thou’rt standing on thy legsabove ground, Mum
my!
Revisiting the glimpsea of the moon,
Not like thin ghosts or disembodied creatures,
But with tby bones and flesh and limbs and fea
tures.
Tell us—for doubtless thou can’st recollect,
To whom should we assign the Sphinx’s fame;
Was Cheops or Cephrenes architect
Os either pyramid that bears his name ?
la Pompey’s Pillar really a misnomer ?
Had Thebes a hundred gates, as’ sung by Homer!
Perhaps thou werta Mason,and forbidden
By oath to tell the mysteries of thy trade;
Then say what secret melody was bidden
In Memnon’s statue- which at sunrise play’d ?
Perhaps thou wert a priest; if so my struggles,
Were rain, for priestcraft uever owns its joggles.
Perchance thet very hand, now pinioneif flat,
Has hob-a-nob’d with Pharaoh, glass to glass ;
Or dropp’d a halfpenny in Homer’s hat;
Or doff'd thine own to let Queen Di<}o pass,
Or held, by Solomon's own invitation,
A torch at the great Temple’s dedication.
I need not ask thee if that hand when armed
Has any Roman soldier maul’d and knuckled,
For thou wert dead, and buried, and embalm’d,
Ere Romulus and Remus had been suckled :
Antiquity appears to have begun.
Long after thy primeval race was run.
Thou could’st develope, if that wither’d tongue
Might tell us what those sightless orbs have
seen,
Hew the world look’d when it was fresh and young
And the great Deluge still had left it green ;
Or was it then scold that history’s pages
Contain’d no record of its early ages ?
Still silent, incommunicative elf?
Art sworn to secrecy ? then keep thylvows ;
But, prythee, tell os something of thyself,
Reveal the secrets of thy prison-house ;
Since iu the world of spirits thou hast slumber’d
Wbat hast thou seen—what strange adventures
number’d ?
Since first thy form was in this box extended,
We have, above ground, seen some strange mu
tations ;
The Roman empire has begun and ended,
New worlds have risen,we have lost old nations; i
And countless kings have into dust been humbled
While not a fragment of thy flesh has crumbled.
Did=t thou not hear the pother-oW’thy head
When the great Persian conqueror Cambyses
March’d armies o’er thy tomb with thundering
tread,
O’ertkrew Osiris, Orns, Apis, Isis,
And shook the Pyramids with fear and wonder,
When the gigantick Mernnon fell asunder?
If the tomb’s secrets may not be confess’d,
The nature of thy private life unfold :
A heart hasthrohh’d beneath that leathern breast,
And tars udown that dusty cheek have roll’d ;
Have children climb’d those knees, and kiss’d
that face ?
What was thy name and station, age and race ?
Statue of flesh—lmmortal of the dead
Imperishable type of evanescence !
Posthumous man, who quit’st thy narrow bed,
And standeit uudecay’d wi linn our presence,
Thou wi -,ii nothing till the judgment morn
ing.
When the zreat trump shall thrill thee with its
warning.
Why should this worthless tegument endure,
If its undying guest be lost forever ?
O let us keep the soul embalm'd and pure
In living virtue, that when both must sever,
Although ecrrnption may our frame consume,
Th’ immortal spirit in the skies may bloom.

SPLENDID PROSPECTS.
* From the N. Y. Cora. Advertiser.
Publick Documents, relating to the. JYew York
Canals, with an introduction.
The State of New-York will afford to
posterity one of the most splendid exam
ples ofenterprfte anil perseverance which
it will ever fall within the province of his
tory to record. The project of forming an
artificial outlet for the vast inland seas
which roll their magnificent waters in the
interiour of our continent, would, half a
century ago, have been viewed with aston
ishment, and considered as stupendous and
impracticable. No one could then have
foretold the utility of such a measure; not)
even in the visions of fancy could one have !
foreseen that the trackless forests of the
west, the abode only of the wild beast, and
of the more untameable savage, were des
tined to become, at a period of time far
from remote, the residence of civilization
and wealth, the seat of agriculture, manu
factures and commerce—the land of free
men. Yet within the last fifty years such
a change has been effected. The frail ca
noe of the Indian, in which he timidly pad
died along the shores of the lakes, has been,
ia ur own day, succeeded by the majestick,
Steam-boat; and a short time only will ’
elapse, ere boats from the extremity of
Lake Superiour* may pass, without inter
ruption, through the chain of Lake, canal ;
anil river navigation, an*) deposit their i
! lading lit safety on the wharves of New-
York.
We are probably yet unable to anticipate
all the advantage* which will ultimately
flow from the formation of the canals.
We have not sufficient data upon which to
calculate. We cannot tell what cities and
, villages are to ariae upon the ahorea of the
lakes; —nor how many millions of agricul
turalists, manufacturers and merchants, are
‘to call those region* their home, and to
, make them the abode of enterprise and op
ulence. Bdt this we do know; that if even
at the preaeot day, the hand of Providence
were to arrest the progress of improve
ment, if not another forest were to be fell
'ed, nor another acre of all our western
wilds be subjected to cultivation, still the
benefits resulting from the canal would sur
pass the most sanguine calculations of its
warmest supporters and would create for
the city and state of New-York a source of
revenue and affluence unknown, & nnattain
! able, by every other community on earth.
! It is obvious to the most superficial ob
server, that the city of New-York owes
her prosperity, her commercial impor
tance, and even, her existence to the navi
gable waters which float to her bosom, the
productions of the iuteriour. Had the
Hudson been but a small unnavigable
; stream, the spot which now is occupied by
more than a hundred thousand freemen,
the habitation of intelligence, the etnpori
, um of commerce, must have remained a
petty, inconsiderable village. We may
conceive the importance of this river to the
city and to the state, if we suppose that
“by some awful physical calamity, some
overwhelming convulsion of nature, this
mighty river were exhausted of its waters.
Where (hen would be the abundance of our
markets, the prosperity of our farmers, the
• wealth of our merchants? Our villages
would become deserted; our flourishing
cities would be converted into masses of
mouldering ruins ; and this state would be
precipitated into poverty and insignif
icance.”*
Such being the consequence to the city
of an inland navigation of 170 miles, what
may be expected from its extension by the
canal to 470 miles; and where can we set
bounds to our anticipations, when we con
sider the immense extent of lakes beyond ?
an extent of more than 1500 miles in a di
rect line from the termination of the canal
—and a of more than 4000 miles,
equal to four times the whole sea coast of
the United States.
We are lost in considering a subject so
unbounded, —the mind cannot grasp results
so immense as must inevitably flow from
sources so unlimited. Posterity advancing
step by step in the path of improvement,
will alone be able to comprehend the full
magnitude ■and importance of the under- 1
taking.
We have been led to these reflections
by the perusal of a volume recently pub
i lished in this city, the title of which stands
at the head of this article: it contains every
publick document which has yet appeared
on the subject of our grand canals, prefa
ced by an able and interesting introduction
from the pen of C. G. Haines, Esq. The
object of the publication is to afford to the
p*ople of other states and countries an op
portunity of becoming familiarly acquainted
with the history of the canals; and also to
diffuse information on the subject, and
thereby to facilitate and stimulate the ef
forts which are making in favour of similar
enterprises in different parts of the coun
try. The introduction combines a mass of
information and speculation which cannot
fail to be acceptable to every friend to in
ternal improvement.
The whole length of canal line when i
lake Erie and lake Champlain are united
with the Hudson, will be 414 miles, the
western canfli making 353 miles, and the
northern 61. Their width at the surface
is 40 feet, and at the bottom 28 feet ; with
4 feet in depth of water. Each lock is 90
feet long and 14 feet wide. Boats of 100
tons burthen may navigate upon their wa
ters. The expenses of both canals are es
timated at §5,371,814—the sum of §4,571,
814 being appropriated to the western, and
§BOO,OOO to the northern.? It is however
understood that the actual expenditures
have hitherto fallen short of the original es
timates.
Some years ago it was calculated thet
1,000,000 of tons were annually transport
ed between New-York and Albany, inclu
ding the passage each way. Let ns sup
pose a portion only of this amount, say 450,
000 tons, to be transported by the Canal
between Albany and Buffalo. Estimating
the toll at §5 per ton, the revenue to the
state from the Western Canal would be
§2,250,000 annually. If from this sum we
deduct the very great allowance of §I,OOO,
000 for the interests of loans, repairs of the
canals, and all contingent expenses, there
will still remain the annual revenue of
§1,250,000; a sum sufficient to refund the
capital of all the loans, and cover all fee
expenses of the canals, in less than fiv#
years. These calculations cannot be con
sidered extravagant; indeed the assump
tion of 450,000 tons Was fixed'4hus low to
I avoid all cavil. 44 But when the destinies
i of the Western Country are duly consider
ed, and the internal fertility and riches of
our own State are duly appreciated, it is
no visionary calculation to say, that 1,000,-
OOOoftons will annually pass through the
Western Canal in the course of a few
years.”?
Another source of advantage from the
canals, although unimposing in its opera
tion, is perhaps still more important than
the actual revenue, which has been pointed
out; we allude to the saving of expense
,* a transportation. The cost of transporting
’ a ton between Albany and Buffalo was for
merly on an average between §BS and §IOO.

i t Introduction.
1 % Introduction.
■ I Ninety dollars is probably a fair general es
, timate. By the canal a ton may be trans
i ported between these points for §8 63 ; of
■ which §5 is for toll, and §3 53 for the ac
tual expense. If we take it at the round
i number of §lO per ton, the saving of ex-
I pense, and therefore the clear gain on each
i ton will be §BO. On our foregoing esti
mate of 450,000 tons, the gain would
: amount to §36,000,000; & should the trans
portation reach to one million of tons, the
saving to the country would extend to the
enormous sura of eighty millions of dollars
per annum I!
Besides the transportation of the ordina
ry articles of traffick, the western canal
will afford an easy access to several pro
ductions of the interiour, which are un
known in the other states, and enable us to
offer them iu market at a lower rate than
they can be obtained from foreign countries.
The Salt-Works of this state will be ren
dered a source of immense wealth. The
whole of our western regions are supplied
with salt of domestick manufacture. The
salt from the works to the westward of the
state of New York is of inferiour quality,
and cannot be afforded at the works for less
than §4 per barrel. At none of their
springs yet discovered, is there a full sup
ply of salt water. But the waters of our
own state are inexhaustible. No water in
the United States is equal to that at Salma,
either in quality or quantity; and probably
none in the world if we except certain
springs in Poland. A single gallon will
sometimes afford 26 ounces of salt. The
quality of the salt may be carried to any
degree of perfection. We have seen some
specimens of it made by Professor Noyes,
of Hamilton College, than which nothing
could be purer or more beautiful. The
New Yoric salt has been vended at Salina
during- the past season at §1 25 per barrel,
including the duty ;* and when the canal
shall open to Lake Erie, it can be sold at
Pittsburgh for §1 56 per barrel, and for
§4 75 at Louisville. We could furnish salt
for the whole valley of the Mississippi, at a
much cheaper rate than it is now obtained,
and of a superiour quality. The duty at
present is 12 1-2 cents per bushel and yield
ed to the state during the year 1820, a rev
enue of §86,000, exclusive of all expenses.
To produce this sum there could not have
been less than 750,000 bushels. We might
easily manufacture 2,000,000 of bushels,
which, with the present duty, would yield
a revenue of §300,000.
Besides our salt, the lake fisheries, the
recently discovered hydraulick cement; and
more than all, our gypsum, are articles of
prime importance, cf which the canal will
afford the means of extensively diffusing
the benefits. The beds of the latter along
the canal line are inexhaustible ; that dis
covered in Onondaga county, by the exca
vation of the canal is 40 feet in depth.—
We can afford it to all the states south of
New England for a less price than it is im
ported. In purity it is equal to any in the
world.
We have thus slightly touched on some
cf the views contained in the introduction.
Our limits forbid us to extend our remarks
any further. We, therefore, forbear to
speak of the probable extension of the
chain of canals through the States, which
lie west of New York. The impulse has
been given and the facilities afforded by the
western waters will not long be neglected.
The time will probably ere long arrive,
when a person may start from this city, pass
up the Hudson, and through canals and
lakes to the Mississippi—thence descend
ibat river, and return by the Atlantick,
without ever setting foot on land !
To those who take an interest in these
great works, we would warmly recommend
this collection ot publick documents.
*Mr. Haines states the price at the works, to be
$2 per bbl. but we are personally knowing to the
fact as stated above. The regular price at Utica,
50 miles from the works, baa been $1 37 1-2 du
ring the season.

EGYPTIAN EMBALMING.
Some have supposed that the Egyptians
embalmed their dead for the sake of main
taining the connexion between the soul
and the body, Si preventing the former from
transmigrating. Servius observes 44 that the
wise Egyptians took care to embalm their
bodies, and deposit them in catacombs, in
order that the soul might be preserved for
a long time in connexion with the body,
and might not soon be alienated; while
the Romans, with an opposite design, com
mitted the remains of their dead to the fu
neral pile, intending that the vital spark
might be immediately restored to the gen
eral element, or return to its pristine na
ture.” The description in the twelfth
chapter of the book of Ecelesiastes, of the
signs of decay and sickness, terminating in
death, are supposed by Harmer to refer to
the mouldering away of the mummy and
the destruction of the catacomb; and, if so,
seems to substantiate the representation of
Servius; but the exposition in question is
considered dubious, and the passage has
been variously interpreted. A late travel
ler (W. Hamilton, Esq.) conjectures that
the Egyptians caused their todies to be em
balmed, and placed in magnificent, and ap
parently indestructible tombs, in the hope of
slumbering out, undisturbed, the fated peri
od of three thousand years; after which
they perhaps, believed that the soul would
return to animate the same body. This
explains their solicitude for the protection
of their mortal remains against decay, and
the expenses their monarchs incurred in
the erection of pyramids and the decora
tion of catacombs. But this conjecture is
; rendered improbable by the consideration,’
j that it supposes their belief in the resurrec
’ tion of thedsody, whereas no hint whatever
i remains of their ever having conceived of
so remarkable a doctrine. Dr. Prichard
thinks it on the whole much more likely
that the views of the Egyptians, in embalm-’
Ing theft bodies, were similar to those of
the Greeks and Romans with regard to de
parted heroes ; namely, an idea that these
solemnities expedited the journey of the
soul to the appointed region, where it was
to receive judgment for its former deeds,
and to have its future doom fixed accord
ingly.
We should feel more inclined to the sug
gestion, that the Egyptian idea was to pre
vent the separation of the soul and body, by
attaching the former to (he mummy so long
as it remained entire, as well as to do espe
cial honour to men. Hence originated their
precautions to preserve it from injury, by
depositing it in a place of inaccessible se
curity. It is obviously more natural to be
lieve that the pyramydal mausoleums were
connected, rather with the ideas of preser
vation and of splendid distinction, than with
any notion of a passage to another condi
tion. Honour while living, and posthu
mous fame when departed, seem to be in
digenous ideas of the human mind ; they
are associated with its earliest efforts, and
take a deep and lasting root in all nations,
so as to enter into the very elements of
thinking, and to hover about the dying bed,
and hang their gorgeous tapestry of hopes
and anticipations around the departing chil
dren of dust, so that ambitious feelings have
been the first to kindle, and the last to ex
pire, of any of which the human bosom is
susceptible, from the erection of the tower
of Babel, when mankind proposed to make
to themselves a name , to the present hour.
Self-love also, another original principle of
our nature, enters into the notion we are
supporting; smee nothing can be more
gratifying than the idea of the soul contin
uing attached to the body after its depar
ture, so as perhaps to revisit it, and pre
serve a secret link of connexion. It is the
object of chief solicitude now, and might
he pleasingly supposed to be so hereafter.
Perhaps, however, after all, these several
conceptions might have been intermingled
and confused iu the philosophy of the an
cients.
