Extract Of letter from, Lebanon, Ohio, dated
Juiy "a, 1926.
"6overnor CLINTON arrived at this place
few days ago on bis return from Louisville and
Cincinnati. He had been invited by the canal COM
missoners to view the site OF the proposed canal
round the Fails OF the Ohio at tie former place.
His opinion was requested to its importance To
the commerce OF the two places, and OH the pro-
priety OF extending 1t beyond its present location.
As to its importance to the trade of Louisville and
Cincinnati, especially to the latter, which will thea
become the head of steam boat navigation, there
can be no manner of doubt. The dinner given to
Mr. CLINTON was very splendid one, upwards
oi 400 persons attending. MIR. CLAY, who had
been detained by the illness of one of his daughters
attended, and his health being drunk, deli
most beautiful address on the subject of South A
merican Independence. Governor CLlNroN lett
this place yesterday his return, and will proba-
bly, visit Pt,sburg, wher lie has been invited, ac-
cording to the fashion OF the day to welcome emf
| nent men, TO public entetainment.''
A public dinner was given on the 18th ultmo,
by the Citizens of Louisville, Kentucky, to Co
vernon CLINTON, when the following toast was
drunk:
Oar Guest, Governor Clinton: He will need
no monument but his works his marble is in hi,

DOMESTIC,

Chesapeake and Ohio Canai.-The T. States
Engineers, under the command of Capt. M'NEILL,
have finished their surveys the Casseman's river
and Wills creek route, and have proceeded 10 Pitts
burg, to examine the route from that place TO the
lakes From the conversation of the Engineers,
on completing their examinations on the Wills creek
route it would appear that it is practicable 80 I2
miles shorter, and 405 feet lower than the Deep
creek route, and by lengthening the tunnel thereby
lowering the summit of the canal, an abundance
supply of water can be obtained consequently, on an
impartial view OF the matter, no other can csmpete
with the Casseman's river and Wills creek route
The Deep creek route wosld require 100 more
locks-each lock, it is said, would cost in its con-
struction 10000 dollars; thus, in lockage alone,
the difference would be 600 900 dollars; besides
tile loss OF time in passing them, and the constant
employ OF hands for their management. On the
Deep creek route, there will be 80 l-2 miles more
canal to make, estimating each mile at 5000 dol
lars the amount will be BIG 900 dollars; this sum
ADDED TO the 100000 dollars for additional lock-
age, VIII amount TO the enormous sum of 9 rs 600
collars. Somerset JVhip

CANAL COMMISSIONERS.

The exploring parties, under the direction, of the
Canal Commissioners, are now actually engaged.
General Lacock; as we before stated, is superin-
tending one company; DIR. Patterson has charge of
another; and we understand that Judge Scott, as
soon as his court is over will repair to the scene of
action. They certainly have favorable time 10
measure the strength Of the springs and streams on
winch they must rely on for feeders, The commits
slonsi II will be recoected, TO have meeting,
IN the latter part of this month, on the dividing
ridge, between The waters Of the Susquehanna and
Allegheny. They will then be able to communi-
cate some facts, which it is absolutely necessary
10 be in possession of before any definite conclu-
sion can be drawn, on this mighty subject.

The Catholic Relief Bill was taken
up in the House of Lords on the 18th of
May. Among the petitions presented
in favor of it, was one by Lord Grey,
which. he said. contained the signatures
of more than 80 900 persons, among
whom were the Duke of Norfolk. and
and ali the Roman Catholic Peers. Pre-
lates and Clergy of the ancient Roman
Catholic gentry of the kingdom. He
referred the House TO the time when
their Catholic ancestors made he most
powerful and successful appeal against
papal usuipation. He said the House
had refused to do to Ireland what they
had done to America; and he hoped it
might not bring about a similar separa-
ten.
The Bishop of Norwich impIorp
that the system of injury might be made
to cease, which had heen heaped on
FIVE millions of loyal subjects and CON-
scientieps Christi ans. There was no
country IN Europe, more disgraced by
penal laws than Ireland. IF The church
of England could not be maintained
without persecution, he would say let il
fall If worldly advantages could be
secured to him by the suferiogs of so
many fellow beings, they would have
no charms for hin.
The Marquis of Lansdown quoted
the examples of the U. States. Holland,
Prussia, and Denmark in favor of this
bill.
