A letter reeeived in London from 
New York says, “ This city is healthy, 
and the province is teeming with plenty. 
Canals are constructing, and new ones 
projecting, through various sections of 
the country; and soon our ships will 
no longer fetch return-cargoes of coal 
from Newcastle and Liverpool, having: 
our supply from the inexhaustible 
coal-mines, which the canals will place 
within our reach, at half the price of 
the Liverpool coal.”

AN ab} written #okume has appeared 
comparative sketches of both, in a sup- 
posed gorrespondence between the Mar- 
quis dé Vermont and Sir Charles Darnley. 
The manners, foibles, and opinions, of the 
AWS cities, are displayed with acumen and 
_semiserimination; and the knowledge con- 
__weyed is heightened, in effect, by the con- 
. trasts exhibited in the alternate letters. 
Of course, there is some caricatare and _ 
exaggeration in a work which generalizes 
from particular instances,and evenindulges 
in some display of imagination in the in- 
vention of those instances; nevertheless, 
we have not seen a more interesting work 
on its subject, nor one ‘better calculated 
to afford more information.

The plan of Naval Recurds, or Chroni- 
cles of Line-of-Butile Ships, given in alpha- 
betical order, is as. excellent as the sub- 
stance is amusing and instructive. ‘The 
History of the Name is followed by thatof 
the Ship, its atchievements, adventures, 
&e. The first portion is too long, and 
often digressive aud impertinent ; but the 
derails of the ship’s liistory are highly gra- 
tifying, and carry the reader througia 
scenes, with whieli is combined as much 
honour and glory as ever can appertain to 
war and professional murder.
