The - Lawrence and Champlain Ship Canal
scheme IS attracting much attention az present,
consequent on the publication Of report Of the
Transactions Of the Convention at Saratoga OF
those interested in the matter. There is differ
o. opinion as to the proper route to be chosen
whether the terminus at the st. Lawrence
should be Caughnawaga. nine miles above Mon
tres or Longueuil, two miles below the terminus
on Lake Champlaiu beng IN both cases at ST.
Johns. The former route from Caughnawagsl
10 the longest 3ii miles against 24i miles, the dit
ference 10 cost being over s450,00O. Against this
Is the fact that all freight from the Upper Lakes
would be compelled 20 come throug IN the Lachins
Canal, or down the Rapids st considerable ex-
pense, 70 reach L0ogueuH terminus, which they
would avoid II Ca0ghnawaga We're chosen. The re-

the Eastern States ia 100000 supericisl feet
considerable part Of this IS sent from the 81.

tedious and dithcult route, however, and the pro.

thought. The totsl amount OF sawed timber pro-

400, 900 600 feet, Al enormous amount, and %
which is TO be added all the lumber brought out OF

annual meeting. Al Upper Canada paper, the
Guelph Afrerf,sey, says that Sir Allan MacNab
must be laid on the shelf at the next election, as

small sum OF sJ have been issued against him,
and have been returned nukia bona. think that
this fact accounts IN great measure, for the des-
