PERsosAL.-We had the pleasure OF
meeting on Saturday Mr. II. Niles, the only
original proprietor of the American Trans
portation Company on the Erie Canal, who
is located west of the lakes. He has for
years been the able supporter of cheap canal
transportation, and is more feared by the
corrupt ring that has tried to increase canal
tolls, for his statistical knowledge and sound
practical views. than any other mau IN the
country. Whenever the subject has been up
for legislation his are the arguments upon
which the committees have reported. His
iabors have been directed 10 secure pro rata
