passes, and that Of the Great Falls sd :
iacent, independently Of the grsti6ca.
lion Of curiosity in seeing the Canal.
Gill afford them ample compensation
br the time which they will spend IN
the journey.
Along the whole line Of the Canal
we observed not a single defect, nor
any evidence Of there having been any.
The hand. Of some of the locks are not
rs drxtrous in the management ut them,
perhaps, as longer practice will make
them. The passenger Who is not on
his guard, may chance thus to get jolt
or two; but as this involves no danger,
he will not regard il. The bridges
over the Canal are few and . mode
rate inclination Of the body enables
those who stand on the roof Tor deck)
Of the boat to pass under them whilst
those who remain in the cabin are n
much At ease and NJ comfortable as IL
they were in their parlors or drawing
rooms at home. The pscket-boat is
drawn by three horses, At the rate Of
six miles an hour whilst in motion. -
The passage Of the locks of course
causes some detention. but We made
the whole passage to the Falls, with
about seventy persons on board, IN les.
than four hours. The number Of locks
from Georgetown TO Crommelin is
twenty, Of which sixteen are now H.
use. The distance ascendcd by the
Canal to o,erreach the Great Falls, Is
hundred and sixty-one feet above
Underwater. being the most expensive
and difficult work upon the line. Four
locks more are passed to arrive st the
squeduct which crosses the Seneca
Greek, and only seven more to reach
Harpers-Ferry.
The ascent from Underwater 20 Cum
ber!and is esiimated at $50 feet. So
that the lockage from tide water Ia
Crommelin is more than fourth Of
what will be required for the whole
distance to Cumberland.

that it is ascertained by the survey just
