At Magdeburg the qesatity of wool offered was
unimportant, and comprised about 3,000 cwt., which
had realised an advisee of 1 to 2 dais. for superior
washing, and 3 to 4 dole. for extra quality over last
year's prices; whilst sommoa washing and inferior
qualities scarcely obtained the rives of 1849.

In a document recently ordered by the United States
senate to be printed, it is stated that the nett value of
the commerce of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and
their tributaries, for the year 1849, 1. estimated at
268,233,820 dollar., and the value of vessels employed
therein is estimated at 18,861,500 dollars.
The Railroad Journal states that at least tea I
thousand miles of road will be built in the United
Sta.'s within the next trio years,. Besides the iron
required for the new structures, a considerable amount
will be needed for re-laying worn-out tracks and re-
pairs. Over 100,000 tons will be purchased annually,
which at the present prices Wili cast five million
dollars per annum. The St. Louis Republican men-
tions the comment:emelt' of the survey of the roue
of the great Pacific railroad. The total amount of the
city debt of St. Louis in May last year was 1,080,389
dollars, and the receipts at the city treasury for the
year ending 9th of April 1849, were 380,598 dollars.
The St. Lawrence and Champlain Railroad Com-
pany have contracted for the extension of their line
from St. John's to Rouse's Point, a distance of 22
mile.. The route is said to be as favourable as could
be desired, and the contract engages that the work
shall be done within the current year. This is the
last link is the great northern chain of railroads, and
when the whole is completed, will bring Montreal
within three-and-a-half boors of Burlington, and
within twenty-two hours of New Yak.
Another ameiioration of the arrangements for loco-
motion in this region i. found in the late improve-
ments in the Welland Canal, which have greatly
shortened the distance of canal navigation between
Lake Erie and Lake Ootaria. The canal is now 94
feet deep, and is navigable for vessels of 300 tons,
carrying 5,000 barrels of Hour. By the old route it
required 24 hours to pass from lake to lake; it is
thought that it will now be done in 12 hours.
