 are by the St Lawrence and New York, through the western 

 lakes to Chicago on lake Michigan, or by New York and 

 the canal communicating with the river Ohio and lake Erie. 

 Illinois may also be reached by way of New York, Philadel 

 phia, and from thence to Wheeling on the Ohio, or by way 

 of Baltimore and Wheeling. But the most economical way 

 for a family and luggage to proceed is by way of New Or

 two or three days for the town of St Louis and the Ohio. 



The expense of the best cabin passage from Liverpool to 

 New Orleans, including bedding and wine, is from L.30 to 

 L.35 sterling, and the passage from New Orleans to St 

 Louis, L.5, 6s. A steerage passage from Liverpool to New 

 Orleans is from L.4 to L.5, exclusive of bedding and provi 

 sions, and from New Orleans to St Louis, L.I, 14s.

 the forest settler ; and as a general rule, the implements of 

 the country are suitable for what is required of them. Cotton 

 goods are nearly as cheap in the United States as in Britain, 

 but woollens are higher. 



The household furniture of Britain is unsuitable for ao-ri- 



o 



cultural emigrants. Cooking apparatus adapted for the coun 

 try can be had every where. Crockery, glass, and hardware 

 may be taken, and bedding materials, with exception of fea 

 thers.
