FROM THE BOSTON PALLADIUM, SEPT. 28.
IMPORTANT- SHIP TIDIBER:
The supply in market of this article is very limi-
ted, in proportion to the demand, and the probable
increase of the requisition that will be made of that
article next year. The commercial convention with
England expires with 1819. This' circumstance,
combined with-the extension cf the coasting trade,
have already predicated contracts to a considerabl,
extent, for building ships and other vessels, the

suing season.
W'e are happy to learn that the completion of ,
Northern Canal, which may reasonably he expects
in twenty months from this time, will enable the pro
prictors of lands in some of our northern counties,
and in the State of Vermont, to find for all their '
ber a market in New York, which, heretofore,
have sought in Montre;:l and Cliambly Basin. In
own intinediate vicinity, independent df the extensive
mountainous forests in Rockland and Putnam coun-
ties, and New Jersey,' in r. !licit are growing as fine
ship-timber as in any part of the world—in the neigh-
bourhood of the city, on Long and Stat.n Islands,
and even on this island there is annually a quantity
of wood indiscriminately cut down for fuel, thehewer
being totally ignorant of the more valuable uses to
whiCh it might be applied. We think it would 'ell
reeompeace competent per:orts to traverse the farms
and woods, and select trees, or parts of trees, that
would be useful in the fabrication of ships and other
mechanical purposes, and at proper seasons fell them.
