The Enquirer wants single horse to

Enlargement efthe Erie Canal.
The Albany Argus of last week states,
that the New York Canal Board having
caused surveys and estimates to be made
for the Improvement of the Erie Canal,
and the engineers having submitted their
reports. the Board on Friday last procee-
ded to final decision on the extent of
the enlargement. BY their resolutions
it appears that the enlarged canal is to
be seven feet deep, and seventy feet wide
at the surface: and the locks are to be
40 feet long between the quoin-posts,
and 16 feet wide in the clear. The PRES
ent canal is four feet deep, and forty feet
wide at the surface, and the present locks
are 30 feet long and Is feet wide.
"Thus continues the Argus) this great
question has been defnitiyely settled, after
mature de]iberation and full expression
Of the public sentiment in relation to it.
As the work will be prosecuted chiefly
during the winter months and while the
navigation is suspended, its completion
cannot be expected in less period than
ten or twelve years. Then, with its in
creased width and deptb,its walled sides,
its extent, and its vast commerce, it may
rank among the wonders Of the age. The
improvement. we understand, is estima-
ted to cost about Sl2 600 900. The Ca
nal Board will proceed with the doubling
ofthe locks, with all practicable rapidity,
during the next winter"
The cost of the present work, which
is thus proposed to be enlarged. was a.
bout 80 100000.
Garrison, we understand, is in bad
way. Since Wednesday evening he has
been quite deranged. and his friends in
all parts of the city are concerned for his
satety.-Boston Commercial Gazette.
The opinion of Mr.. Garrisons state Of
mind, expressed in the preceding quota
ton, is by no means new. We have
long entertained the same idea, and a.
vowed it more than once in the columns
of the Commercial Advertiser. 1t is the
only way in which we could account for
his conduct, without believing more evil
OF him than we should like to believe of
any man.-N. Y. Com. Adv.
