From comparison OF the several routes, il has
been determined that the first would be the short.
est and would admit OF the easiest graduation; but
that the second, TO expense, has the advantage
and that in combining together distances graduation
and expense, the second route has claims to prefer
ence. In this opinion OF the Engineers the Post-
master General has expressed his concurrence.--
The length Of the second route is found TO be nine
iyseven miles and sixty six yards; and the expense
Of constructing il is estimated at one hundred and
twenty six thousand eight hundred and thirty nine
dollars.


1t i, not expected, we believe, that the subject
will be acted upon by the present Congress- Intel.
Washington, February Is The SENATE yesterday pas
sed the bills granting to the States OF Illinois and ln


ana donations Of land Give sections deep on each slde
every alternate section, through the whole q
each cana to aid those States in the construction Of


canal in each State This liberal grant certainly 10 in
terna improvements but by reserying every alternate see
ton the proposed canals it supposed that the United
States will derive great benefit from the consequent
augmented value of those lands. I.tsl.
