LORD BYRON.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron, is
the Grandson of the celebrated Conmo-
dore Byron, whose onset in a disastrous
life has interested US all SO much in our
reading of voyages and shipwrecks. He
was born In Scotland in 1871. His faith
er, the brother of the late Lord, was an
officer in the guards, his mother a Cor
don. of Park, related to the Esrls of Fife.
The poetry that finally took its due AS
pect in his person, had given various init
nations of itself in his family. in the
shape of verse, writing ladies and roman
tic adventures. The race, who were
great country proprietors in Yorkshire,
were enobled in the person of Sir John
Byron for his loyal efforts in the cause OF
Charles J.; but the greatest Byron Of old

ships and verses with equal ardour. His
regard for another living wri,er was first
awakened by a youthful Publication, in

THE GRAND CANALS.

Our readers, especially those who re-
side at distance, will doubtless be sur
prised 10 learn, that upwards Of nine
thousand men have been employed the
greater part of the. season, and are now
stretching along the lines Of the western
and northern canals, viz about 500 be-
tween Utica and Schenectady; $500 be-
yond the Seneca river, and 1900 ON the
northern canal. This body Of workmcn
would make formidable army, nearly
equal TO thai with which Washington, in
a great measure, achieved our independ-
ence.
We are informed that the line Of the
western canal is principally cxcayated
from twenty miles west of the Genessce
river to the city Of Schenectady; besides
working parties on the line towards this
city, by the route of the Cohoes falls;
and that the whole routes of both the
western and northern canals, are laid out
and under contract. That about 70 miles
of nayigable canal will be added the
present year to- the middle section from
Montezuma to Utica, distance of 90
miles. A flight of FIVE locks, at the Little
Falls, is represented superior to any
similar work in America, and in point of
neat execution and durability, may chal-
lcnge the world. fad..
The northern canalwas completed the
season past, from Lake Champlain TO the
Hudson river; the, present season the ex-
cavation will be completed to its junction
with the western canal neal the Cohoes
Falls. We are also informed, that opera
lions viii commence on the very borders
of this city at the point of termination, in
few days.
