/ The new steamers that have been put on.
from time to time, have kept pace with

inland waters. In Dickens American
Notes we have the following description
by the great novelist of the Steamer Bur

through the lake was taken in the sum

the boats have 10 hc warped around. is the

we travelled from the latter place 10 KINGS

other i'll the world. This steamboat. which
Is called the Burlington, is a perfectly ex-
quisite achievement of ncatneSs, elegance
and order. The decks are drawing-rooms
the cabins are boudoirs. choicely furnished
and adorned with prints, pictures and
musical instruments every nook and
corner in the vessel is perfect curiosity
of graceful comfort and beautiful con-
trlvance. Captain Sherman. her COM

taste these results arc solely attributable. |
has bravely and worthily distinguished |
himself on more than one trying occasion /
not least among them, in having the |
moral courage to carry British troops, at .
a tima during the Canadian rebellion /
when no other conveyance was open to
them. He and his vessel are held in uni
versal respect, both by his own country
men and ours, and no man ever enioved
the popular esteem who, in his sphere of
action, won and wore it better than this
gentleman.
BY means of this floating palace we
were soon i'll the United States again. and
called that evening at Burlington, a pref
ty town, where we lay an hour or so. We
reached Whitehall. where we were 10 dis
embark at six next morning, and might /,
have done so earlier, but that these steam
boats lie by for some hours in the night
in consequence of the lake becoming very
narrow at that part Of the journey, and
difficult of navigation in the dark. Its 5
width is so contracted at one point. in j
Iced, they are obliged to warp round by
means of rope
After breakfast at Whitehall, we took ,

busy town, where we arrived between five
md six o'clock that afternoon, after very c
lot days journey, for we were now in the G
Height Of summer again.
