Sale of State Lands.

The sale of these lands, commenced on
Monday. As yet, the sales do not
amount to more than some four or FIVE
thousand acres. generally ranging from
SO to Sc per acre +; and the prospect is
that but few more of them will be sold at
this time. It's believed by many per-
sons. that il may be fortunate that so few
Of them sell.
We are informed, that Mr. Ryan re-
ports, tina, the internal improvement bond
helders in Europe, were last summer, We
ry anxious to be let into some work of
internal improvement in this state, upon
such terms as are proposed TO the canal
bond holders. As to ourselves, we have
had but little time to reflect upon this
subject, since it has beeh suggested TO us !;
but, certainly. il cannot be improper to
lay the subject before the people, to be
thought of bythem previous TO the next,
session of the General Assembly. And
with this view, we lay before our readers,
a very important extract of letter of in
strucllons from Gov. Ford, to MIR. Ryan
on this subject.
