bushels of water cement, has been quar-
ried, and kilns are building for burning
and a mill for grinding it. This quar-
ry Of water limestone is directly on the
canal line, about midway of the great
est flight Of locks on the line between
the Portage Summit and valley of the
Cuyahoga. A durable stream, with
sufficient water and fall to drive a mill
for grinding the lime, passes immedi-
aiely over the quarry; audit seems as if
nature had prepared the whole for the
express purpose to which it is now ap-
p%ropriated.
All who have viewed the route from
the Portage summit northwardly, and
who are experienced in canalling, con-
cur in stating that they have never
known a canal line so conveniently and
abundantly supplied with all the mate
rails necessary for the works required
Ito be erected on the Canal. One or two
Of the locks, and several Of ,he sections
will probably be finished this fall.
Although the contracts were gene
rally taken at prices below the esti-
mates of the Engineers, experience
proves that the work can be performed
at the contract prices, at 4 reasonable
profit to the contractors. Almost eve
~ kind Of work has already been sub
jected to the test Of experiment.
In attempt 10 ROB and detection ofthe There's.
On Tuesday evening a few minutes
before 10 O'Clock, Mr.. Jacob Hayes,
High Constable, communicated it to
Mr.. Danl. Hawkshurst, (of the firm Of
Ogden * Hawkshurst, brokers, l68
Chatham, corner Of Pearl street, that
their Office was TO be entered that night
by three men, whose names he men
toned and described their dress and
stature, whose object was to break open
and rifle the iron chest. Upon this in
formation, MIR. II. called in a friend for
aid and placed themselves in an Alley
in the ear of the office, where they wal
ted the coming OF the thievcs--and a
bout 90 minutes after one o'clock, they
entered the Office, through n of the
front windows, having first wrenched
off the window shutters. They then
proceeded TO the Iron Chest, which was
well secured with the usual lock, and a
pad lock, the latter of which they broke,
when Mr.. Hawkshurst seized the viii
lain and his comrades at the same mo-
ment, secured one of the others, who
was watching Without the Office, and de-
livered them to the watchmen. Yester-
day morning they underwent an Kan
nation before The Police Magistrates,
aud were fully committed 10 Bridwell,
TO await their trial. The names of the
culprits, are Joseph Cass, and John
Clarke, one Of whom we understand is
an old offender. The third man iii
there were three has escaped.
Mr.. Hawkshurst desires US to state
the great obligation he feels himself
under to our very vigilant High Con-
stable, MIR. Hays, for his promptness in
giving the information he possessed, rel
alive to the contemplated robbers,
thereby saving to Mr.. ii. a very con
siderable sum OF money, which hap
pened to be left in his Iron Chest.

And the Oath OF her Sons, as they severd their yoke
Methinks they yet break on the ear.

And aided that patriot vow;

Till virtue herself shall be marked with stain,
And the breath OF corruption shall seattle her pure fame
