DEAR BErNETT-It was possible for me to have
arrived here in an almost inconceivabe short time
after leaving New York, had not wandered some
what frem the direct route in search sf novelty.
TRAvELLING,-The greater part of fashionable
travelling VIII, this year, pass westward by Oswego
and the Great Lakes. Families leaving New York
should give preference to these boats for Albany,
having deck state rooms, where, for one dollar ex-
ira, they secure privacy well much comfort
Night travelling is cooler and will enable them to
proceed with the cars to Utica, with less delay
than day boats.
The cars allow time to snatch a hasty dinner at
Bagg's Hotel, Utica. They arrive at Syracuse at
six, where comfortable lode ngs NAV be obtained at
Syracuse House. The following morning packet
boat goes down the beautiful Oswego and through
delightful scenery, until the traveller, about FIVE
o'clock, is safely deposited at the ffourishing vii
iage OF Oswego. One of three noble steam boats
Will be ready 10 start, every day. on the arrival of
the packet boat for the Falls. Travellers get in
time for breakfast to Lewiston, and arrive at the
Falls by railcars, IN an hour more after-in all
two days and three nights on the read
lAPosITIoNs ON THE RoAD.--Make a rule to
pay all hackney drivers and porters half price of
their demand, more particularly in Albany. The
contemplate railroad company between Albany and
Schenectady VIII make an extra charge for any SUI
perfluous baggage with which ladies may find il ne
eessary to travel. The public must resist 1.-THE
other companies to Utica and Syracuse are lIbe
raj 10 practise such meanness
BRocKs MoNUMENT.--I crossed the ferry at
Queenstown to examine Brooks monument, and
witness the destruction oecasioncd by the foul
wretch who could thus disturb the ashes of the
brave warrior and the upright man. The Canadians
greatly indignant this atrocious act and there
is too much reason fear that the unprinci pled
scoundrel Is even, at this moment, sheltered
side OF the Niagara. Several yards Of slow match
were formed in field close to the monument-pow-
der was purchased in Lewiston a day or two before
by Lett, who murdered Captain USHER, and was
traced to and into boat which taken across
to the canada shore the nj Sht preceding the eXplo
sion.
The Lockport paper, in endeavoring to charge
the crime upoa the magis and others in Canada
has been roughly handled by the provincial press
real author of the vile act than il is willing to admit
The editor evnced great want of tact in attacking,
by name, one who deservedy and highly respected
on both sides of the lines. allude to a libel upon
gentleman of the name of Creighton.
TRADE.-The Canadians from Montreal, King ston
Brookville, Toronto, st. Catharine's are actually
coming money with our produce. Wheat to the
amount OF half million of dollars has been pur ed
IN Ohio and Michigan, and paid for by exchange
New forh-the wheat is ground in Canada, and
shipped at Montreal Canadian flour lit is in this
shape admitted to the English market, by paving a
trfing duty. Pork and other products of The west
TO the amount of many hundreds OF thousands dol.
lars are, in like manner, carried through the Wei
land Canal, and deposited in Canadian warehouses,
for the use of the enormous British military csta-
blishment stil kept foot in the provinces. This
Welland Canal' which was, few years since, in
very bad odour bids fair TO give return for its out
lay.
The receipts for the present year, / heard esti-
mated at 100000 No less than fifty-two lake
schooncrs said to be passing through it at one
period this Spring. When will wise rulers
learn wisdom Not until thew find all our western
trade diverted through other channels.
BUFFALo.-In spite Of al! its drawbacks this is
stiil n surprising place, and wants nothing but
turn to confidence in monetary affairs, and healthy
establishment Of credit to make il again what Il
was III its most palmy days.
gu shall hear again soon from me, when farther
west.-Yours OMIcRoS
