That interesting event, so long and anxiously
looked for by the citizens of HaYrede-Crace, has
at last arrived. The tide water canal is opened,
and with it is opened the certain prospect Of this
! town growing into commercial greatness, with a
celebrity hitherto unknown
| About thirty-five canal boats have come thro'
the canal, and are now securely reposing in its
spacious basin, freighted with the rich produc-
items of the valleys of the Susquehanna-the
Ohio-the Mississippi-and the shores Of the
great lakes. Hereafter, the arrivals of boats
win be numerous and constant

scnting scene novel and ezciting-f oreshadow-
ing in faint degree, our future prosperity.
That the amount of descending trade that will
seek this, the nearest and most advantageous port
for the vast countries connected with it, Will be
immense, is not doubted by any one What will
be its destination after arriving here, is not yet
equally well settled in the public mind, though
it cannot be controverted by any show of reason,
that this port will be the great mart Of purchase
and sale as well Of the products Of the interior,
! as for such commodities as will be required in
exchange for the products OF Its industry. Elk
istins doubts about this matter will soon disap-
pear like dew before the sun; and are even now
entertained for no betterreason than the local in
terest of those who indulge them.
II was foreseen by the projectors of that great
work, the tide water canal, that the Transports
ton on it would be very great; blu. it seems they
did not forsec the change it would make in the

Philadelphia cannot 9npete with Baltimore
for this trade ON equal TINS. The distance is
considerably greater, besies the obstruction and
expense of the Chesapeak and Delaware canal.
Hence, this great trade is cvitably lost to Phla-
delpbia. This being thesct, and what sensible
man will deny it, what vi be done? Will her
citizens be content to abadon all participation
