can? Roads. New-York, the first in canals, is about lo be the first in rail roads, anion the states oFlhc Union. Stephen Van Rensselaer and G. V. FeathersKjnhaugh, Esqrs. have petitioned the Legislature of New-York, for the charter ot

company, to erect a rail road between thejjj iMohawk and liuJson rivers, oetween -which, the great Eric canal now extends, to obviate the difficulty and loss of time in passing the canal trom Schenectady to Albany, in consequence of the great number of locks and circuitous route. The time taken in passing on the canal between the two places, is stated to be frequently two days, while on the rail roads, passengers and goods may b ; carried in a few hours. The distance, wr believe, is only 6 or 18 miles by the turnpike, the route, probably, of the contemplate d rail road and the expense will not be great er than that on the car.-l Bait. Pat.

They are descended from ancestor, who, like the father ot the faithful, for thc sake of truth, wenro a land which tin y knew not ; and like the children of Abraham, as they have tlve truth in their keeping, we may trust that they will carry it wide, even to the end of thc eatth. They have no r.cd of a dispersion to send them abroad anions the nations ; for even now, in the infancy of their origin, their vessels touch upon every foast, their inhabitants i sojourn in every country, and even without their intcvui'jiul efforts, religion arrows with their errovvih, and strengthers with their strength ; they carry their altars with them into the wilderness, and ihn.ugh them civilization and Christian!t will flow on, with an ever-enlarging j stream, till they reach thc. shores oi the PaLifi':. Even then, thc ocean will not tcrr.iirate their progress, but rather open out a oassap'O to the shores of eastern A sia, till both thc old and new world ire I united and llourrsh beiv.ath the satne arts ; and the same religion."
