NEW YORK CANAL.

We mentioned on the 10Th ult. that the
Commissioners appointed by the Governor
and Council of this state, to survey route of
a Canal from the Susquehanna to Baltimore,
had left here on their tour of duty, and that
they Intended visiting the New York Canal
for the purpose of gaining information, sc.
The following is an extract of letter from
one OF the gentlemen, dated
Utica, ". y May 5Oth.
We reached this place yesterday in good
health and spirits, and shall set out again for
the westward Immediately after breakfast
AT Albany we commenced our observations
on the Canal, and have never for any great
distance, been out of sight oft from that to
this. 1t is certainly one of the greatest works
ever bcheld, whether it be regarded with an
eye TO the difficulties that have been remov-
ed or to the evident and vast utility and bene-
lit to all the country at each end, and through
all the districts over which it passes. The
first obstruction above Albany is the Cohoes
falls in the Mohawk river. The entire river
tumbies almost perpendicuIarly over n solid
mass of slate rock of about sixty feet in
height, and produces one great sheet of foam
from margin Ia margin of the river. On pass
ing The bridge Just below, we stopt some min
utes tn contemplate this wild and grand scene.
The canal passes along one side of this great
Nitnin a lew Icet OF Its margin,
where the laburers were then al work, max
ing an excavation, for the canal and towing
path, which when complete, would he more
than half a quarter of mile twenty feet deep
through solid rock. The grandeur and rug
gedness of the scenery at the Little Falls,
where the Mohawk passes through the noun
tains, is inferior only TO the passage of the
Potomac at Harper's Ferry. The canal
mounts up through this rugged pass, having
the most tremendous precipices of rock on
the one hand, anda foaming torrent on the
other, with an ease and safety tina, is altogeih-
er wonderful. There is nj the upper end of the
falls, IA lateral canal or feeder, which passes
the collected torrent of the whole river, on a
stone aqueduct of three arches. The passage
boats pass along this aqneduct to the little wi
lage called the Little Falls. About twenty
miles below the Little Falls, we embarked ON
the canal in a small passage boat, hut at that
place we got into one ofthe regular line be
tween that place and this, drawn by two
horses nj about four miles an hour As we
thus gided along. the valley of the Mohawk
presented one of the most fertile and beautiful
countries ever bched. We shall stop again
at Syracuse about forty miles from this TO see
Mr.. Geddes, the engineer {; thence to the Ca
yuga Lake, thence tn Owego, on the SuSque-
hanna; thence down and home as soon as
possible, which we suppose may be done in
