BLACKSTONE CANAL.

Our readers may find, among the advertise
ments, the official notice of the tendency of
the petition, to the Legislature of Rhode
Island, for the Incorporation of the Canal
Company in that State. We take this occa-
sion TO remove an impression, which seems TO
have been made upon the minds of some. that
the reference of the petition to the next ses-
sion is owing to opposition to the Canal. The
order OF notice is in the usual course of bust
ness, and is the same disposition of the petit
ton that was made in the Legislature of this
State. There can be no doubt of its being
granted.
Nor is there, as we think, much room to
doubt that the Canal will actually be made.
The benefits ii promises, both to Providence
and to this part of the country, are so great
as to insure Jealous effort for its accomplish
ment; while at the same time it is almost
demonstrate that the capital it would require
would Immediately afford handsome profit.
and that the value of the Stock would con-
stantly increase.
In England, the system of Canals, when first
projected, was ridiculed as visionary and
yet Canal stock, in that country, has proved
to be immensely valuable, as may be seen by
the following table =
