TIE wELLAxD CANAL-Thc progress of trade which has
mari ed the completion of the weand Canal has become
very interesting tic Canadian papers have devoted
much attention 10 this subject. In the last Montreal Ga
zette is the following:
1--WE must confess that when Informed last year,
Ly the gentleman 20 whom were indebted for the par
ticulrs to which have above alluded that when the
Weand Canal was completed would ruin the Erie Canal
and with that almost the whole financial resources of the
State er Ncw-YoIk, which have been expended on that
work, thous the anticipation rather too extravagant
to b. rashly put upon paper but thing we have since
learned fully confirms IL. The grand object Of the works
on the ST. Lawrence is complete navigation for vessels
of three hundred from al the boundeSS shores of tc
Western Lakes, and their tributary waters, 10 the Cuff OF
the 81. Lawrence, and that on terlns-coDsderng how
LARGE portion of the navigation is natural and how small
one art:nc!al-so out the artificial line
constructed 10 TIE S0utt-Eastward The Weland canal
has put the American A0IS da combat as far down rs
Oswego and so get the lower sectol-com
paratvcly pccd little doubt remain OF
entire in bringing the Western export trade to
Montreal. We Informed, also, 10y 4 member Of the
Board Trade of this cv, that II is not merely the Brit
ish export trade that lave gain, but that in The
present of the navigation, If had railroad lnO
land, the whole Of the Hour for that part o: the
United States might be carried This from the West at
a large profit over the Erie Canal route
