This is pretty little fortune TO make by
poetry, and a very great Indictment to
scribbling. The estimated value of the
poems appears to have been determined
without any reference to their respective
merits. If Majeppa be worth 50, 800, Man
fred is surely worth $4,000. 1t would be a
curious task to calculate how much his
Lordship received for each word in Maiep-
pa. The time occupied in its composition
was perhaps "a hours, mot all at once sit
ting.) An industrious poet, paid at this
rate, would soon have six Pegasuses to his
barouche.-N J. Morn. Courier.

We have, at considerable expense Of time and
labor, formed the following list, pointing out the
localities of Canals and Railroads in the Unit
ed States, principally for the use of the general
reader, who frequently hears mention made of
Canals by their names only, without any refer
ence to their localities or capacity. The an
nexed synopsis is designed to supply this def
cheney, and we have no doubt will be found
valuable as well as convenient We have re-
sorted to every source of information within
our reach, to make the details as accurate as
possible.
