The Lsdy's Hat made by MISS. Martin, Of New
York, from American Straw, which was sold by
Messrs. Jennings & Thomas, was purchased by MIR
]. James, for thirty five dollars We are free TO say,
that this specimen ofAmerican skill and American
growth, is equal to any Leghorn have ever seen,
and does great credit TO the ingenuity ofthe young
lady who made it. We think that similar exer-
tons on the part ofthe female community, would
soon rid US of the necessity Of sending abroad Tor
this elegant article of dress--Poulson.

LEGISLATURE OF PENNSYLVANIA,
HOUSE OF DELEC.4TES-DEC. 9.

MIR. Lehman adverted to the advantages that
would be derived by the counties of Dauphin, Leb.
anon and Berks, and some counties west of the
ousquehanna, from the Union Caual; but said that
other parts OF the state, from their local position,
would be prevented from participating in the benefit
OF that work.-And, besides, the increase of popu-
la'ion, and of I'll. products of the country, would
cause greater quantity of business than could find
ITS way through one channel For these reasons il
was important to enquire, whether it was most adj
visable to make an artificial navigation from Coum-
lbia SO as to connect the Sus9uehanna with the pro-
posed canal, from the Chesapeake to the Delaware,
or to Improve the navigation Of that river below Co.

Mr.. Lehman then submitted the following:
Whereas the best interest OF the commonwealth
require the speedy completion OF canal to connect
the waters OF the Chesapeake and the Delaware
and also, an uninterrupted water communications
between Columbia, upon the Susquehanna and the
city OF Philadelphia, either by means Of an artiG

FIRE! An alarm took place about O'Clock
yesterday morning. which proved to be the snuff &
drug mill lately established by A. II. Cohen & Co.
on Market street extended--such was the rapidity
Of the flames that the buildings which were Of
wood, ogether with the printing and chemical Ink
establishment, stock on hand, machinery, &c. were
entirely destroyed before assistance could reach the
spot-nor was it possible to rescue of the hor-
SEES, which fell prey TO the devouring element. A
brick stable adjoining, the property of MIR Grimes,
together with the adjacent buildings were prevented
being entirely destroyed by the timely assistance OF
our active fremen.-From the circumstance of the
fire originating in the upper part Of the building,
where no person belonging TO the establishment
had been during that day evening" there is every
reason to suppose it the work of some vile incen-
diary.
