Judge of Probate-Judge White, of Essex
We trust no measures will be taken by the
Legislature, in relation to the subject, unless
there be clear and rrefragable evidence, eth
er of a wanton violation of the Probate laws,
or of gross misconduct. The power of i'm
parchment is an important privilege of the
people but it is a privilege which will lose
much of its value, if often exercised, or in
deed if erer resorted to, without urgent rea-
sons,
Of tile Justice OF The complaints against
Judge White, we, of course, can form no
opinion. If the violated majesty of the laws
requires it, let him be punished. We only
hope that the people may have no cause to
believe, that the high and important po,cer Of
impeachment, which they have delegated to
their Representatives., is abused or trifed
with.

Nezv. York Canal.

A gentleman who resides on the Dor
ders of this canal, states that the ca
nal is literally alive with boats, both day
and night" The boats are 12 feet
wide. and So feet long, and carry 400
barrels of flour, with / 2 inches of water,
and travel sc miles m "a hours, or at
the rate of 4 miles an hour during the
whole period. Their roofs are about
eight feet high, so that passengers are
as well accommodated as they need de-
sire. Bridges are thrown across every
two miles, but raised so high as not to
interfere with the passage of boats
1t is supposed that New-York can be
supplied with salt, through the medium
of the canal, from the extensive beds
in the northern part of the State, cheap
er than it can be imported from abroad.

Mr.. KE.4N.-Many of our readers have
probably heard of this celebrated English ac-
tor, who stole the wits of SO many of the Bos-
tonians, during the late winter. Never was
stage-player so lauded, never was one more
followed, or better paid, than was Mr.. Kean
by the "play-going' people in Boston. If
we opened paper for news, we found little
else but KEAN. Tongues innumerable were
employed in proclaiming to the world the ex-
cellencies of his acting. Scarce word of
sympathy for the Neapolitans was utter
ed, and the utmost Indifference was manifest
ed towards the potent triumvirate who thun-
dered forth their anathemas from Troppau.-
Kean was then the only sovereign whose mo-
tiOns excited any interest.
Happily the madness soon. subsidized. Mr..
Kean's engagement closed and, after making
ridiculous speech to his audience, he de-
parted amidst the shouts of his admirers.
+ SO rich harvest, as he gathered, of APP
plause and Of money, induced him to renew
his engagement at Boston, where he returned
the week before last. But the delusion was
over. Curiosity had been gratifed. The
|; power of fashion had ceased 10 be exerted.-
Mr.. Kean was therefore mortified and vexed to
find that there were some unoccupied seats
in the theatre and on the third evening, after
the audience. had assembled, he refused to
go upon the stage to play to 6 bare walls, -
and took himself of. The next day he de-
parted for New York, leaving the astonished
Bostonians to rail at him and laugh at each
other.
Since bis arrival at New-York, he appears
to have been made aware of the gross insult
he has offered the American publick by his
conduct at Boston and he now speaks of
re-appearing, hereafter, on the Boston boards,
to vindicate himself. But we trust his folly
has cured some of our countrymen of por-
ton of theirs; and that he will not be suffer-
ed again to engross SO large share of pub
lick attention.
