 WESTERN TRAVEL AND TRADE-We are highly gratifed to learn from the Pittsburg papers, says the Baltimore American, that the important work of rendering the Monon- ganela river naYigable for steamboats of the inst class, at all seasons of the year except a few weeks in winter, when closed by ice. has just been completed. This desirable object has been effected by the erection of four substantial dams at suitable points in the river, with spacious locks for the pass age of steamboats The distance from Pitts burg to Brownsville by this route is fiftv-fve miles, and the head of navigation is thus transferred to point just so much nearer to the sea board The land carriage from the present Western terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Cumberland, to Browns vile, is only seventy-three miles-and the two points are connected by the great Ma tional Turnpike, one of the finest roads in the Union.

The commerce of these inland seas is already four times as large as the whole foreign colonial trade of the thir- teen revolting Provinces in l775. And vet this internal trade isno only i'll its infancy. IL is less than 1.-the of what 1t will be in few years, provided the Erie Canal shall be enlarged, lake harbors shall be constructed, and the works of internal improvement i'll the new States shall be completed.

 The statistics of the Commerce of Alba ny show gratifying increase. On Saturday there were ninety-iive sail of sloops and sehooners at the whafves, besides the usual number of steamboats and toWboats. The arrivals and clearauces of canal boats were last year, an average of eighty per day, and will this year considerably increase.
