The Encyclopedia Britanuica says this canal is 825 miles in length, and that it was construct ed upwards of eight centuries ago. A catch penny Hook, which has been extensively difl'u ed over this state by the Philadelphia booksel lers (who except in the case of Nicholson's En cyclopedia have given us little occasion to va lue theiracquaintance with us) called the ' Won ders of Nature ami Art,' says the canal is six hundred leagues in length, and extends from Pe kiti to Canton. This bounce is quite in the Munchausen sty?!;. The same Book says the water of Connecticut river is so hard pressed between the hills at Middlefown that an iron bar can no more penetrate it than it can a rock of adamant. These are ' wonders' whose rela tion is an unpardonable imposition on the pub lic. Mi-e than twenty years ago Lord Macart ney, the British Ambassador to the. court of P kin, travelled the whole length of the Imperial ('anal, and the published account ought to have been kuown even to a Philadelphia editor, tho' not considered among the very wisest men in the world. In the book of travels of that Em bassy by Sir George Staunton, the qanat h stat- prevent the effect of the vessels striking imme diately against the stone in their quick passage uirougn trie gates. Light bridges of timber are thrown ccross those piara which are withdrawn when vessels are about to pass. The flood-gates are only o pened at certain stated hours, when all the vessels collected near them in the intervals pass 1 through on payiag a small toll, appropriated toj the purpose of keeping the flood-gates and banks ot the canal in repair. The I039 cf water occa sioned by the opening of the flood-gates is not very cousidc rahle, the fall at each seldom being many inches and nhich is soon supplied by streams conducted into the canal from the adja cent country on both sides. The fall is howe ver sometimes above a foot or two when the dis tance between tlie flood-gates is considerable ;r the current rapid. The canal was traced often in the beds of ancient rivers, which it resembled in the irregularity ot? its depth, the sinuosity of its course, and the breadth of" its surface, when not narrowed by a flood-gate. Whenever tlie circumstances of the adjacent country admitted the water i;i the canal to be maintained in a proper quantity without material deficiency or excess, by means of sluices managed in itsides, for the purpose of influx or discharge, few flood gates were necessary. The highest part of the canaT is at about two filths of its length. Here the river Luen, the largest stream by which the canal is fed, enters it in a rapid current in a line perpendicular to the course of the canal. A strong bulwark of stone supports the opposite bank, and the wa ters striking against it diverge tywards each ex tremity otlie canal. From this elevated spot it was doubtless that the projector of this canal saw with the comprehensive eye gf genius the possibility of forming a communication between distant parta of the Empire. Near this spot is the elegant gilt temple, called Luen-whahg-miaw. A little to th south of this place the land be came low and the canal which hitherto was em banked only one on side now was on both, the water was forced into a narrow channel much a hove its former bed, until it found a correspond ing level. The earthen embankments iu this part of the canal were supported by retaining walls of coarse grey marble, cut into large blocks and cemented with a kind of mortar. Those wall were about 12 feet in thickness and were bound -toge'her at the top with clamps of iron. The canal is here in lact an aqueduct much shove the adjoining country, which, when dry, is crowded with villages. , The country though to the eye continuing level, becomes so elevated that the canal is cut twenty feet deep. Here the canal runs along the shore of Wie-chaung-hoo, and is supplied with water from it. It here sembles the great canal of Russia, which runs parallel to the lake Ladogo, from which it is seperated by vast embankments. When the canal approaches the Yellow river, it becomes throe quarters of a mile wide, and af fords an excellent harbour for shipping, and on each side of the river are very extensive and populous towns. The canal fells into the river in "some places the canal is wider, having one bridge of 90 arches over it. The country be tween" these two cities is. one of the most rich and populous in the world. Tho population oC the last named city is not greatly inferior to Pekin, and has A brisk trade iu silk and English, broad cloths. The ordinary depfh of water in the canal isv about 8 feet, often much greater, and in places where not raised by ftcod-gatM, it is less. Thfr number of boats employed on it are immense, from those of a small size up io those of two hun dred tons 'jurthen.' Sir George Staunton describes the method of descending from' a higher to a lower canal in t!r& route from Han-cho-foo to Chusan by which a, part of the gentlemen travelled to join Ad.oiraL Gowcr's squadron. Sir George did not accom pany them and of course did not himself sees the canal he describes, and his description if evidently incorrect as will appear obvious to any one who will attentively consider it. I shaft therefore adopt the description given by a Por tuguese missionary which Compared with Sir1 George's account will shew where the latter is defective, not absolutely false. When two canals approximate and the water of the one ii 8 or 10 feet higher than that of the other, double glacis of stone wort or rather two in clined planes uniting at the upper extremity ex tend on each side into the water of each ca nal. The boat is drawn up to the ridge by se veral capstans when its own weight precipitate it over into the other Canal, 'lo prevent the boat from plnrging a high defence 13 raisedl round the bow. s v European locks arc greatly preferable toChi- r?ese gates and gUci,but by witnessing all the; varieties of successful enterprise, we may learn bow to adapt particular modes to novel circumstances. From the wVafioni Intelligencer; SHAKESPEARE'S HAMLET. When we look at tlie learning and talent that has been exercised and displayed in comment- -ing on Shakespeare's works, we must Wonder that so gross an error, of the nature below no ted, should have escaped the Argus 6yes of all. But in this instance, we see the fallability and infirmities of human nature. When Johnson and Pope,-aud Warburton, and Stevens, and a host of others should have passed over this er rorsuch a glaring one, too, who will arrogate to himself clear perception ? It is stated that the celebrated Garrick, as yell as Kemble, and all the more recent dramatfe men of note, have " mouthed" out this line, with alt the stupiditjr attached to it. The part alluded to, may be found in the play of Hamlet, near the end of the third act, in that admirable scene, where Hamlet is displaying to his Mother's view the character of hia uncle aud his father. It readsthus ; Hamlet. A murderer anu a villian !
