II We now examine the trade on the New York
canals We find the came results. The quantity Of
wheat, Of flour, and OF some other commodities has,
increased because have become the carriers Of
Canadian produce to a vast amount. Thus, indc-
pendently of the consumption at home Of Canadian
wheat and flour, the export OF foreign flour from
New York, in the last year, was 10000 barrels,
and that of wheat lSl l07 bushels; but these guam
ttics represent but small portion Of the foreign
products Of agriculture carried on those works.
BY taking the trade from Buffalo east, we to a
considerable extent exclude this cause of error,
and doing so we find great and almost universal
decrease.

cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
Industrious the service OF the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the careful aen-
tion and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great men OF he Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the Accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countcnance.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and in some respects superior TO those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will he exc
cutcd carefully and in as superb STYLE as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, lG by % inches, rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il

names of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments OF life will have its representatives Art

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover. OF Art, and
friend of our glorious Mon, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commcndablc
undertaking, that It's publication may make
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious of the union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following

erection Of separate and distinct building, within

The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise Of

prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete

mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans

be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted. according to the relative

merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
