UNION CANAL.
.A project is now in agitation which in coarse
of time may create a little town at the other end of this Canal,
Thhe Company, from the difficulty of getting a part of Glen-
?l
fair grounds, which lie at the 'unction ot the Union Canal with
the Forth and Clyde, were obd • to purchase the small estate
altogether. That part which they have not occasion for being
divided by the Canal and cut by several roads, lessens the in-
ducement to any person to purchase it in a single lot. It is
therefore proposed, after setting aside the necessary portion for,
wharfs, keys, officer' lodges, and inns for the accommodation ot
passengers, to sell or feu the rest in lots for building. M'°lll
erected here would be in the immediate neighbourhood of irl'i
exhaustible mines of coal, lime, and iron stone, while thetielt
district of the Carse would afford them corn with very little It
pence of carriage. Placed at the junction of three greatlines ei
water communication, they could conini and the markets of GUl-
gow, Greenock, Edinburgh, Stirling, with all the towns on the
Forth and the Clyde, and procure on the easiest terms all the
products of the Baltic, America, and the -West Indies.—A trill
impulse seems to have been given lately in building, ow,
dwelling-houses and warehouses, in the vicinity of the Canal
Basin. A tine large building for the luggage boat companies
is now getting up at the bash), upon the projecting square used
as a landing place tbr passengers ; and several offices for the
coal companies have just been completed. The greatest activity
is employed in raising houses of the usual height of five stories
in the adjoining streets and roads, the stone for which is
brought from Redhall quarry, three miles to the wirtstwara,
on the banks of the Canal. It may not be uninterest-
ing to learn that- several boats from this quarry au' ell:.
stantly employed—each carrying between linty and h'il
tons, and making generally three trips in a day. The stone
is conveyed from the extremity of the quarry in low carts on 3
rail-way along a scaffold erected close to the side of a perPenl
dicular rock, and brought by machinery up a considerable ae''
clivity to the wharf, where a boy or lad transfers the load into
a boat. The cart being then allowed to go hack, passes to one
side, when it reaches the bottom of the descent, and thus !pact'
way for another loaded cart, which is discharged in like man';
ner. A steam engine, of about four horse power, is emploYe';
in these admirable contrivances to supersede the use of animal
' labour.—(Edinburgh Courant.)

EDINBURGH ACADEMY'.
We are glad to observe that the building of the Edinburgh'
Academy is proceeding very rapidly, and although the contra'
tor has been very much impeded from the difficulty of getting
the stones from the CoHallo and Denny quarries in sufficlei2!
quantities to carry on the front part of the building 'vial ;
same rapidity as the rest of it, we are told there is no dou",
that, in terms of his contract, the building will be ready nes'
season, so that the classes may be opened on Ist October
next. We understand that the general outline of the 1,131
of education to be followed at the academy has been seal'd
by the directors, and that the details of the arrangements foiri
carrying it into effect are now under consideration, and, v'the
soon be brought under the notice of the contributors an
pUblic. According to this general plan, there are. to
four Masters and a Rector, as in the fligh School, who
are each to teach Latin, Greek, and geography in their Teepee'
five classes. English reading is to be an object of attention
during the whole period of attendance, and a separate teacher,
who is to be a native of England, is to be employed, where
duties shall be confined to tile department of English retina'
elocution, and modern history.—There is to be a head wrifint
master, who is to provide such number of assistants sothe
directors may think requisite, according-to the number of 'XI:
who attend. There is also to be ahead master, with WWI
in proportion to the number of boys„ for teaching. aritione„ ;
who will be required to get testimonials of their being Tien

The number of boys is to be limited to 110 in the IT',
