Extraordinary exertions are making
in New York, for celebrating, in the
most imposing manner, the meeting of
the Atlantic and Erie seas, through the
Grand State Canal. The 2eth of 0cto-
Der has been assigned for the event,
and il is proposed that splendid cele-
bration shall take place on that day. A
meeting has been held in the city Of
New York, TO concert measures for the
purpose, when it was proposed to sta
ton cannon at short intervals from Buff
falo TO Sandy Hook, so that the entrance
Of the first boat from the Lake into the
Canal may be announced throughout
the State by ONE grand fen de joie.--
When the boat enters the Hudson, at
Albany. it is proposed that she be re-
ceivcd by fleet Of steamboats,, embra-
cling all that ply upon the New York
waters; and that she be escorted in tri-
umph to Sandy Hook, in full view of
the broad ocean. 1t is supposed that
fifty steamboats, will volunteer on the
occasion, all of which are to be superb
ly decorated with flags, emblems, and
devices. On entering the bay OF New
York, opposite Castle Garden, the range
of cannon on the Battery, and all the
forts and armed ships in the harbor, are
to welcome and salute her with their
united thunders, mingled with the glad
voices Of 10000 freemen."

London, with the immense capital of

object is to construct canal through
which ships of the line may rass from

sure to the delays and danger of the
sea navigation around the Forelands,
SC. Another company, with capital
OF GI,75o,oeo, is Incorporated for the
construction of harbors and ship canal,
of Is feet deep, by 80 in width, and A
miles long, from Seaton Bay, in the
English Channel, TO Bridgewater Bay,
in the Bristol Channel; considered as a

ny, for Atlantic and South American
voyages, is also progressing. They
propose to send a boat from the
Thames, TO Halifax and New York,
once, fortnight, to perform the voy-
age with certainty, and within two thirds

By the multiplication of them, and the

On the 9Th of September the steam
vessel called the Enterprise, left the
banks of the Thames for those of the
Ganges. Her burden is 500 tons. She
has two sixty-horse power engines
The boilers, which are made Of copper,
extend across the ship, with seven fur
naces, each seven feet in depth. AL
though the Enterprise will make use of
her sails, when the wind permits, she
will rely principally on her steam, and,
for this purpose, she must, necessarily,
take out three hundred tons of Goals.
The Goals are partly contained in cham
bers, within the sides Of the vessel, co.
vered with sheet iron, and partly in
tanks beneath; which, as they are emp
tied Of Goals, will be filled with water
to keep the vessel properly ballasted
The cabins, of which there are twenty,
are furnished withevery convenience.
On viewing this vessel, the supposed
difficulties of the great undertakes g
vanish, from the able preparations and
.kilful precautions. The cabins, which
are separate, are handsome, and replete
with conveniences, the stores abundant,
and the machinery adequate to the UNI
dertaking, with three able engineers
and ssix assistants, technically called
stockers, who, like the crew, will relieve
each other in the regular Watches
There are at present fourteen passen-
gers with the expectation of more, and
the stock of Goals $40 chaldrons, which,
it is calculated, will be sufficient to last
to the Cape OF Good Hope, where there
is farther supply. The Enterprise,
after clearing out at the Norihfleet buoy
will proceed to Falmouth probably
touch at Teneriffe; and, after the shor
test possible stay at the Cape, make
directly for Bengal, and complete, it is
presumed, the entire voyage within
eleven weeks. Eng. paper
