CANALS.


sioners appointed by the state of New
York, to visit the HiddIesex Canal in
Massachusetts, we find the following
information
The lands within six miles Of the ca
nal on each side, have increased one
third ia price while land in the coun-
try generally retains its former value.
lin the state of New Hampshire, through
which the Merrimack flows, timber is
now worth from one TO three dollars
per ton standing before the canal was
made 1t was worth nothing, SO that in
the article of timber alone, that the state
is supposed to have been benefited to
the amount of at least five millions of
dollars. The wood land there has risen
in price, since the opening Of the canal,
from S. per acre to So, 8, and $40 per
acre.
A gentleman who visited the new
York Canals during the past summer,
was informed that since the Canal was
opened, proprietors of land, adjacent
thereto, had, from small portion OF
their land, sold timber to an amount
more than sufficient to pay the cost of
the whole tract. !.
If for six miles on each side of James
River, the average value of the lands, is
now six dollars per acre, according to
the information given above, we may
expect that the completion of the james
and Jackson's river Canal, will increase
the average value to 50 per acre; thus
adding s. per acre to the value 81 the
land. This would for each mile of ca
nal amount Of SIS, 800, which is more
than the canal will cost.-Rich Eng.
