lake of Leon by the river Titipapa, which is 20 miles in
length, and it is said that it would require three locks,
and to be canaliz'd throughout to render it practicable
for ships. The Lake of Leon is 35 miles in length, and
is separated from the Picific by 29 miles. Eleven
miles, however, from the lake runs the river Torta, and
it is by opening a communication with this that the
entry to the Pacific would be effected at the port of
Rialejo. The Nicaragua route would have the advan-
tage of passing through a country of undoubted salu-
brity. It may not generally be known that the journey
between the two great oceans has already been effected
by boat, although the route taken would for practical
purposes be out of the question. In 1783 a monk per-
suaded the Indians to cut a short and shallow canal
which connects the river Atrato, which throws itself
into the Gulf of Darien, with the river San Juan, which
- runs into the Pacific at about the fourth degree of south
latitude. In the wet season boats still pass by this route
from one ocean to another, but the fact we rather men-
tion as a curious one than as supposing it to have any
importance. The connexion between the two oceans
must be on a grander scale than this, and will no doubt
be shortly effected by one or other of the three great
routes we have described.

A NECDOTES of the ARISTOCRACY,
AND
EPISODES IN ANCESTRAL STORY.
By J. B. BURKE, 'Esq.
Aethor of " The Peerage," " The Landed Gentry," &e.
" Mr. Burke has here given as the most curious incidents, the most
stirring tales, and the most remarkable circumstances connected
with the histories, public and private, of our noble houses and aris-
tocratic families. These stories, with all tie reality of established
fact, read with as much spirit as the tales of Boccacio, and are as
Hill of strange matter for reflection and amazement."—Britannia.
