Mai itY —under the4ignature of Barry Bluff—published in the Union of Thursday,l a proposition Cur uniting the waters of our principal Lakes by &Ship Canal. The project is a very desira ble one for the safety of the country in case of a war at any time with Great Btitain, and when we consider the efferts that that, country is making to strengthen herself by the construction of Ship Canals in her provinces bordering on the States, it appears to be a very necessary improvement for our safety. But the manner in which Mr Maury proposes to carry out this proposition, will appear startling to those whose weak nerves have been so terribly shock ed Cur some -months past, by what they consider en. croachments on the rights of England, and dishonest efforts 00 tie part of our own country to gi asp the territo 7 of ourneighbors In the opeiiitig part of his communicntion, the ad vantages of improi ing the Lakes, are thus given. "Fur cart ying on naval preftaratians, fur collecting together your forces and making ready, you want some place Lira is convenient fur supplies, and out of the en emy's reach, and yet near enough to overlook him.— Just such a place is Lake Michigan. Look at him the map; there pendant from the great northern chain, this important and valuable fresh-water basin, like a mi ser's hag. close drawn into your very midst. Twice the size of Erie and Ontario together, this beautiful sheet of water is pet fectly a snare clasunt. The straits of Nliackina,w are narrow, and may lie rendered impregnable. Fortify them—they are your Gitirultar. Tap this lake with a ship canal—ii is your Meditetranean. Erect your magazines at Chicago— this is your Toulon. Do these, and Lake Michigan become "emphatically out own sea, " where no flag can enter except the "slat sand stripes." There• then, is the key of the lakes; your pathway to the British prorinces---the place at which, in war, our forces one to be collected, and from which onr eiped it ions againill Canada are to be fitted out and to set sail. Bata great impediment to bringing the waters ofthe Lakes together, is presented in a long neck of tipper Canada, that separates lake Huron ft urn lake Ontario. By a route which Lieut. Maury cols the "Natural Boundary;" be would annex this to the U. States and sitna then construct a canal of 20 or 3t) miles across ,it, which would unite those two lakes.

'The peninsula of Upper Canada depurates Michigan from New York, takes from us the sole command of the rivers St. Clair and Detroit, and puts it in the power of Great Britain to stop our merchantmen whenever she pleases, on the great highway between the upper and lower lakes. France, nor England,nor any other nation of the Old World, would permit such dangerous proximity, such thrusting of foreign territory beyond the safe and natural limits of national boundaries. Nor should we, the greatest of the New, permit sucb a thing longer than it can be honorably avoided. "Should ever war again arise between the two coun tries, no exertion on our part should be spared fur the conquest of this part of Upper Canada; and, if the sac• cent; of arms should place it in our power to dictate terms, the dismemberment of the Btitish provinces of 1 at least that territory that is south of aline from the 1 head waters of Lake Simcoe to Ontario, should be the sine qua non of peace.

ET" The Boston Journal has the following capital hit at the Lord Bishops of England, which it finds in an old newspaper, published in Boston some seventy five years ago. It was evidently from the pen of one who inherited from his puritanic ancestors unpleasant feelings towards the Established Church: "When Sir Robert Walpole began to manifest symp toms of declining power, the first of his old friends Assignees Salo of Dry Goods. who shrunk from him were the Bishops.

THE Bisttor ELztv.—The Philadelphia Gazette has the following notice of the newly elected Bishop of the Episcopal Church. "Dr Potter is at present the Professor of Belles Let ters and Moral Philosophy in Union College, Schnec tady, New York, and was formerly the Rector of St. Paul's Church in Boston. While he had the charge of that parish, he was elected to the Episcopate of Massachusetts, but was compelled to decline the ap pointment, as the rigid climate and strong easterly winds of that region were found unfavorable to the health of his family. The same cause induced him to resign his parochial charge in Boston and return once more to his Professor's Charge at Union. Dr Putter is the son-in-law of the much respected Dr Nott, of New York; his views on Church policy agree with al most uniform coincidence, withibose of our late ven erated and apostolic Diocesan Bishop White; sod the whole tenor of his life, as a gentleman, a scholar, and a °Marian, is an assurance that under his guidance the Church will command the respect of the world.' Border Troubles.—A dispute has arisen between the State of Miss= i and the neighboring territory on the north, which is the source of much annoyance to all living alonk the line. The St. Louis Republican says, "the sheriff of one of the counties of Missout i, when attempting to execute a writ for &breach of the peace, was assailed by anumber of persons of Daviess county lowa. The prisoners whom the Sheriff had arrested were rescued, and the Sheriff himself taken into cove dy. The trial came before Judge Morgan. of the District Court, and resulted in the conviction of the Missouri Sheriff. The Judge sentenced him to ten days cotitinement, bet before the sentence could be ear ried Into execution Gov. Chambers granted his par don." 11TP A f..110w said tc a Jew— "Do yon know they hang Jews and Jackasses to gether in England?"

War Movements is Canada.—The Kingston Whig says: "Two iron steam frigates we learn are soon to be commenced at Chippewa, for service on this and the upper lakes. The British Government seems determined to make use of cogent arguments in conducting its negotiations. The mission to Canada of Mr Tucker. the Admi rnity Builder, who arrived out by the lust, steamer, is of a private nature, probably that of inspection. This gentlemin visited Kingston last Tuesday bet left the same evening for Toronto and Niagara. It is said that he will press rapidly along both shores of Lakes Eric and Ontario. and return to England with all con venient speed. While all present idea of laying down the keels of - the iron steam frigates at Kingston Dock Yard must be abandoned, we cannot help feeling that the prompt attention of the Board of Admit ally to the defenceless state of Canada, in sending out their Build er, to inspect the actual condition of things on both side., proves that abandoning the Canadas to the ag gressions of our Yankee neighbors, is the last thing to he apprehended."

Stockholders have thus a chance to save one-half of the premium, and are besides entitled to a full share of dividend. Charter perpetual. The mutual risk lessens in proportion to the amount of insurances. If ten mon insure any given sum, each one incurs a risk of 10 per cent.; but 500 men would only incur the title of o fifth of one per cent. The Company has been in operation since 1840. Capital subscribed, $lOO,OOO, on ehich 20 per cent. have been paid in„ which amount, with about 20 per cent. more, is safely invested in mortgages and other securities. There is a considerable amount of bonds on hands, to be resorted to in case of losses, before any capital subscribed can be used. This is the great security, and this principle of mutual insurances has given great satisfaction. Marilee and Inland Transportation Risks taken nn usual terms, as by ether offices, and 10 per cent. of the premium raw m d if thy risk end ‘i idiom. loss. C N. BUCK, President. Jogiah Lammot, John A.
