GOAT ISLAND. This liesiitifel 10141111, which divides the Fans of Niagara, steins to have been rent from the Amer'. ern ►ide by some violent convulsion of nature ; the strata of rocks, the soil, •ud tha growth of the timber curreeposiding with those upon the maul land. The difficulties of approach to this island have, iu all probability, increased witl► lime, and as the fall has receded, for we are informed that it Whil once a place of frequent reso►t fur the officers of the French garrisons of Niagara and Schlemmer, soul of the Briti•li who succeed e d them. There are WI. memos inscriptions upon the truhks of the trer4 some of which ale obliterated ; the earliest now legible is of the ear 1769. The only mode of access in those day., waii to drop down the current from Schlosser upon the point of the island, and great ,are and eircuinsprctiou were um roily. by avoiding the draught of the current. to escape being earned over the tremendous precipice. But in later timer, although the vtiriosity of some sur mounted the dread of danger, few were hardy enough to sell/ensure. A bridge was built last fall, by the lion. Judge Putter, sad saiigoine hopes were entertained that it would have withstood the torrent; bat an unusual collection of ice in the spring occasioned it to be carried sway. The perseverance of that enter prisii,g gentleman, however, was not to be dis couraged, and a new bridge has been eton•tructed in a more favourable position, which bide fair to brave the dangers which proved fatal to the drat. By means of ibis stractiire, which few would have designed or executed, Goat Island is become the moot interesting spot that fancy can depict ; u it afford• the best and uw•t varied views of that stupesidons cataract, which " enchants the world." The view from Table Rock, on the British side, has hitherto been much admired ; but that specta cle is infinitely surpatoed by the grandeur of the views from several points of the island, which exhi bit the majeatic (all 1.1141 the sorroundiog scenery ►u unrivalled splendour.
