The BrandyUine The statement made in the
Democratic Press, in relation to the leak OF the
Brandywine, seems to have excited some inter-
est and much doubt. We do not speak unad-
visctlly when we assert, that the intelligence fur
nshed by the Press, is strictly correct and true
The reasen why it has not been heard from other
sources, is obvious, and will explain all seeming
mystery. The officers Of the Brandywine, con-
siderng that the circumstance Of the Nations
Guest having been sent out i'll an unscaworthy
vessel, would discredit the Government III no
small degree, determined to keep the matter Sc
cret, as far as possible. For this purpose, when
spoken by different vessels, the answer from the
frigate was 'salbs weA,' and the person who
wrote to his friend in this city, giving an account
of the particulars, did so against the understand
ing Of the officers. This disgraceful business
affords cause for great regret. but the facts must
come out sooner or later and the public have a
right to know them. We repeat with contd-
cnce, that the statement of the Press is true,
and we can well nigh guess that the govern.
mcnt at Washington, at this moment, have fu
information of the truth, by adyices from Capt
Morris.

Our reasons for declining to publish GER
tain "efusons" which we have received,
we will give without the least hesitation
The pieces are very Objectionable ; not on
ly on account Of their immoderate length,
but they do not possess sufficient merit to
cntitle them to place i'll our Miscellany.
. Better poetry than this has appeared in this
paper, and been heoted at; and we conceive
4 it would be more to the credit of the writer
and publisher both, if these "effusions" were
consigned to the "dark oblivion, than appear
before the public, subject for mirth and IL
diculc. The author is welcome to what he
has had for his labor--we are sorry he has
y not been better paid; and we hope the next
time he has any remarks" for our eye,
he will not pin them to the skirts of his COM
J. munications to our neighbours.
To err, we knew, is human-and to forgive, d-
vine;
but to brook an act like this, is not compat-
iblc with the dignity of an Editor.
4 We do not feel seriously offended, nor Go
y we much care for "the cause which doth Of
iend," but we have, of late, been so much
importuned by writer's of effusions and dit
Il ties and love laments, that would puzzle any
u ordinary set of brains to dccypher or trans
n late, that we have come to the conclusion,
v that all that are not tolcrably written, shall
y not appear at least i'll our paper, but share
"a the general fate of all scribbers.

tleman who has called forth these re.

TRADE OF ALBANY.

Ii may be said with perfect truth that
the wholesale business ofthis city has
q~radrupled since the fall of 1928, when
the Erie canal first became navigable
from this point. Many of our mer-
chants have established a direct cor
respondence with the manufactures OF
Europe, and import from thence their
stock of goods; so that they are en-
abled to sell them to the country mer.
chant on as liberal terms as can be al
forded by the importers Of New York.
This fact is becoming generally known,
and we are acquainted with many mer-
chants who have heretofore been in the
habit of going I o New York to make
purchases, that now stop here tor that
purpose, having been convinced from
experience that they can lay in a stock
of goods to quite as good advantage
here as they can there, besides saving
the time and expence of a further jour
ney.

invention Mr.. Brunei has obtained a
patent. AS this large shield, or three.
storied iron scaifolding, is daily moved
to fill up the excavation made by the
~workmen, it is to be followed closely
by the brick layers, who will make all
good; so that the incumbent earth will
always be supported by the iron shield,
or by compact and well selected brick
work. The size Of the tunnel will be
t~hirty-6ve feet wide, by twenty feet in
height; each archway will have about
fourteen feet clear width (including
foot path;) and the whole length OF the
tunnel will be about one thousand three
hundred feet. Should nothing unfore-
seen prevent it, this novel communica-
ton is expected to be opened in less
than three years. 1t will be obvious
to every person acquainted with the
Thames, that no bridge could cross it
where the tunnel is designed to be
made, unless it were Of a height SO
great that ships could sail beneath it.
Such a bridge has been projected, put
the design was soon abandoned. The
tunnel may be regarded as a bridge re-
versed, and as a channel Of intercourse
between the shores, at once commodi-
Gus, and suited to its locality. Such
an intercourse has been for a long time
a desideratum, and must, we conceive,
be much used. 1t will open a free, and
probably an important communication
between the counties Of Middlesex,
Essex, Kent and Surrey, and the seve-
raj national and commercial establish
ments on either shore, and which, i'll
time, will give birth to Improvements
of no small magnitude. There will be
in this tunnel a thickness Of fifteen feet
Of earth between the crown of the tun-
mel and the bed of the river; and the
brick-work will necessarily be of the
best materials and the most solid ma
ture, and closely cemented with the
utmost care"
