TO THE PUBLIC.
The subscribers, citizens of Pittsburgh, Brownsville
and the intermediate country, having long felt a strong
conviction ot. the importance of the immurement. et
the Monongahela river. by locks and dams, gladly
availed themselves cf the very polite invitation exte nd .
ed to them and many other persons, by the President
sad Managers of that Company, to proceed on le Ned

rills and back, to view that work. They embarked
at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, the I3th inst. et 2
o'clock, A. M. passed through the four leeks, delaying
long enough at each to examine the workmanship and
machinery, and at the fourth luck long enough to wh.
ness the laying thelast 'wee in its place, and to heat a
neat and appropriate address, by T .1 Bighorn, Esq.
and arrived at Brownsville at 7 o'clock in the ems.
lag. It was understood that tie boat would depart
for Pittsburgh the next morning at 9 o'clock, but dm
ring the night the steamboat Oelle , iimegular, packet,
arrived from Pittsburgh, with considerablefreight
passengers for Morgantown, imyirghtlic as arrasige.,
meant. made by the Captains of the two boate,tha t
the Oella should proceed on her way to Morgantown,
and the Consul should take her place, defer her do.
parture c from Brownsville until after the arrival of the
stages frum Cumberland,and convey any passengers to
Pittsburgh who might desire to leave the stages...-.
The subscribers entirely approved this arestimatzwnt,
and were compensated for the delay, until eleven
o'clock, by the addition of fifteen wearied traveler,
male and female, who eagerly exchanged the confine.
meat and fatigue of the stages for the comfort and
ease of a steamboat. Soon after eleven o'clock eq
Thursday morning the Consul left Brownsville, and
arrived t Pittsburgh between six and seven that even
ing. The subscribers had great reason to be gratified
with their trip, and will long recollect with pleasure
the two days spent in passing and repenting over the
valuable improvement of the Monongahela river.
Although the season is one which nature amunnee
her least interesting garb, yet the thriving villages, the
fertile and well tilled farms, and the almost .intiume.
rattle cool mines end railways, all combine to interest
the observing traveler. The subscribers. too. were
especially pleased with the opportunity afforded them
of examening the substantial workmanship of the locks
and the admirable machinery by which the gates are
worked. They were both surprised and gratified to
find that the very large locks could be filled, and the
steamboats passed through each of them, with &de
tention not exceeding six minutes. They were thus all
fully convinced that a durable Improvement has been
made which secures a safe and rapid commeniceakta
between Pittsburgh and Brownsville. at all leSllOOll of
the year, except when closed by lee.
In reflecting upon the importance of this improve.
meet. wo very naturally looked upon it In a twofold
light. First, as a source of profit to the enterpriring
stockholders; ■nd secondly, as a most important /ink
in the chain of communication between the great wee.
tern valley and the seaboard. On the first point, we
design to say but little; the stockholders and manegers
are shrewd, intelligent men, and need no prophet to
tell them that an improvement passing through a fee.

either eastward or westward, between the seaboird and
the Mississippi Valley, that a new avenue hes just
been opened which presents great advantages on the
score of economy, comfort and speed.
The excellent railway extending from Baltimore to
Cumberland, brings passengers by that very speedy
and pleasant mode of locomotion within seventy-five
miles of Brownsville. and one hundred and thirty-one
miles of Wheeling. The new improvement has opened
a steamboat navigation, which will continue throughout
