precisely alike that we question if they know them
selves from each other. If they do, nobody else
does Whether they go into each others houses,
eat each others dinners, and pay each others debts
we do not know. Whether if one of them should
take glass of brandy-not that either of them
would do such a thing-the other might be tipsy,
we cannot say and whether if one of them should
be very SICK the other might not die By mistake is
question which we hope will not be solved in q

OPENING or THE CANALs.-Yestcrday was the
day appointed for the opening of the canals in this
State. The Albany Evca,ng Journal says;-From
an authentic source, learn that che eastern
tion of the Erie canal, embracing the entire line
from this city west TO point few miles beyond
Utica, i in good nayigable order. Mr.. j. L. Good
SELL the Resident Engineer has been over the entire
section. III says that the new work on this division
is firm, and win stand but that boats may be de-
layed by ice. The Oneida lake is still blockaded
with ice, and boats bound for Oswego win be obliged
TO 90 by way of Syracuse. II is reported that tho
Weland canal i open, both at the north and south
entrance Telegraph dispatches were received by
shippers at Oswego, on Friday, announcing tho
opening of the Weland canal into Lake Erie, by
way of Grand river and Port Maitland where the
Ice has broken up. Oswego vessels passing
through by Grand river and il presumed the navi-
CATION by this route is open to Cleveland san
dusky, Toledo, &c. Only few boats here are laden,
or in readiness to 60 vests the high water prevented
operations Friday and saturday; and previous to
that, forwarders doubted, in their own minds, tho
ability of the Canal Commissioners to have the
canals in readiness tomorrow. At West Troy there
were only 70 boats this morning, awaiting tho OPEN
ing, against some 250 to 300 last year. From tho
middle and western sections, we have no inferna-
ton as to the condition of the work, but presume
that every thing is in readiness
