EAST FORK CANAL. Office of the tilu'te Water Canal,) Harrison, Dec. 2d, 1837. ) Sir: Agreeably to (he instructions of General E. Long. Acting Commissioner on the White Water Canal, asurvcy and an estimate has been made during the past season for a canal down the valley of the East Fork of the Wh'te Water River, beginning at Richmond in Wayne county, and terminating at Brook -ville, in Franklin county. The whole length, of 'the line from Richmond to Brookville is 331 miles; 34 miles of which are slack water, 3 miles bluff, requiring rip rap or loose slone protection to preserve the banks from injury bv the action of the water, The principal mechanical structures on the line are as follows, viz: 31 Lift Locks whole lockage 2T3d feet. Locks No. 1, S, and 29 have each, 4 feet additional height over the regular lift so as to operate as Guard Locks. 2 Guard Locks each 12 feet high. 3 Aqueducts whole span 126 feet. 7 Culverts vv hole chord G4 feet. 2 Waste Wiers with ga'.es. 16 Road Bridge?. 2 Tow path bridges over the East Fork each 220 feet long. 5 Dams the length, height, and location as follows:

For 114 miles the line follows down the right bank of the river to dam No. 3, below Abington, when it crosses to the left bank in slack water, it follows down thai side for 124 miles passing inlo slack water below Hannah's Creek, and again crossing to the right bank at dam No. 1 it then continues on that side to Brookville, where it makes a very advantageous termination in the pool of the White Water Canal dam, across the East Fork. By crossing the river at the different points, a large portion of the bluffs are avoided, and the line materially cheapened. The limited time allotted to the Engineer corps, did not admit of sufficient time fcr making au examination or, both sides of the river in the vtcity of Fairfield, but before a fif.al location it would be advisable to examine as to the practicability of continuing the line on the left bank of the river as far down as that place. With the exception of the bluffs, and Loiknge, the valley of the East Fork is of the most favorable character for the construction of a canal the excavation and embankment is generally of the easiest kind; and the line in many instances, follows at the base of continuous and succeeding benches requiring only single banks, and passing through the adjacent farms to the very best advantage. The estimates arc made for a canal of the same dimensions as the Indiana canal 26 feet wide on bottom, water 1 feet deep, surface ol water 40 feet. The locks are to be in every respect similar to those on the White Water Canal, dimensions in the chamber 90 by 15 feet the walls are to be laid dry,, sod faced with plank. The aqueducts and culv erts arc to be built of rubble ma?onrv, laid in mortar and grout. The dams are to be of timber cribs, filled with stone, the lower slope is to have 14 feet base, to 1 foot perpendicular rise; and the upper slope to have a base twice as long; both the upper and lower slopes are to be covered with plank 6 inches thick, firmly pinned and spiked to the cribs. The river bottom where the dams are lo cated, is composed of gravel and detached rock. The plan proposed is, to place the base at least 3 feet below the lowest water. and cover the whole with a compact layer of urusn, upo which wi!l he placed three layers of trees, from CO to 40 feet in length, running YPl!ct with the course of the stream, to be -iewn square so as to lay perfectly close to etier; upon this the cribs will be erected in sucil manner as to have an apron of at least 30 feet below the lower slope of the dam, so as to protect the foundation from the action of tie water. The upper slope will be secured by a course of sheet piling, and the v.hole cohered with line gravel, in such manner as to i-render it impervious to the water; the abut rfneftu are to be of masonry similar to the aque -"ducts. By reference to the accompanying tabular swiereem, u win ne seen that the estimated cost of the line is 183,778, to which add I percent, for contingencies, including eni neermg, superintending, &c. and the w hole cost will he $507,966, or 15,277 per mile The estimates are predicated upon thesuppoHuen mai. common laoor win command S18 per month ana lounc, which is about the aver Jge wages paid upon the White Water Canal unng the past season. When the cost ofboarding. furnishing tools, vo are included, the expense of each man will be obout one dollar for every working At anytime during a period of five vests previous Ic.thc year 1831, the same amount of work could Have been performed for at least one-third iesj than at the present time. During the lowed stages of the river, a neasurement was made f the waters- at Richmond, the discharge was 1700 cubic feet

per minute, and a gradual increase was found .at each of the proposed dams; at No. 5 the .quantity was 2000 cubic feet per minute. Thcrii no doubt a sufficient supply of water for all the purposes of navigation, especially upon the plan proposed thz water be-

ing introduced at five different points, which makes the whole stream available. The quantity of water required to supply the leakage and evaporation of a canal, depends mainly upon the character of the soil through which it passe?. The valley of the east fork is generally quite favorable in this

particular. Duringthe dry season of the year in an experiment was made on the De laware Canal in Pennsylvania, to ascertain the quantify of water necessary to supply the leakage and evaporation on 14 miles of that canal. Much care was taken to arrive at the truth, and the requisite supply was found to be 50 cubic, feet per minute per mile. The canal had been in operation about two years, j 41 ur " s ieci, anu wuunoi fr';e -10 feet ; about half the distance was a,ong a hig.i embankment, and in manv places the depth of water w as 5 feet, and width of uitie was quite a irec percolation. it is therefore reasonable to infer that similar circumstances will produce like results. The Delaware and East Fork Canal are both situated in nearly the same range of latitude. Particular attention was paid in locating the line, to have it so placed as not to interfere injuriously with the mills and manufac tories already established. Jn the vicinity of both Kuhmond and Brookville, and many other places, a supply of watencau be furnished from the canal, for propelling machinery new in operation, with but little alteration in the present improvements. The whole fall of the river will, also, be made available, which can be used for various manufacturing purposes, as the wants of the country may icquire. The act authorizing the survey, requires a tioiomntnriUii., X 11 j , . . prooaoie aavantages arising from the canal. 1- rom the best the best information mat could oe ontainea irom various sources,: . til is it is believed, that if it should be constructed Wlmm 1 h rpr nr Innr vmi frnnn .tlio nrncnnf , r J? time, that the nav gal on wou d onen vv th trade equal lo 50.000 tons annually. This at an average of two cents per ton, per mile, would yield a revenue of 33,250 per annum. There would be many advantages growing out of its construction, the benefit of which can scarcely be anticipated. It would be the channel through which all the trade ofone of the most populous, fertile, and wealthy regions of the western country would pass. Richmond, situated at the head of nav igation, w ith its vast water power, extensive capital, and enterprising inhabitants, miabl hcrtrf t lio PiTTsntmr: f? !:nri'4' in .. short the whole country within its reach would be invigorated: new sources of trade, which arc now unknown or lying dormant for the want of an outlet, would be developed, among which may be enumerated Jine and mineral coal from the Ohio River; the former for building and the latter for fuel; as a natural conse quence, large tracts of fertile lands, now an unproductive forest, would soon be brought into profitable cultivation, and thereby contribute towards the general wealth and prosperity. The instrumental part of the survey was conducted by Nathan Smith, Esqr. as Senior Assistant Engineer, and Edmund Johnson, Esqr. as Junior Assistant, both of these gen tlemen are entitled to much praise for the faithful and correct manner in which they have discharged their respective duties.

Exemplary Damages. An action for damages was recently tried at Saratoga, New York, in which Mr. M. S. Lincoln, of Boston, was plaintiff, and the Saratoga and Schenectady Rail Road Company, defendants. It appeared in evidence that in August of 1836, Mr. L. and his lady left Saratoga Springs for Schenectady in the raid road cars drawn by horses, and when about a quarter of a mile from the village, at a very sharp curve, a tri.in drawn by a locomotive was seen approaching, and the two came in collision. Mr. Lincoln leaped from his seat in the foremost car and broke his thigh, in consequence of w hich he was confined at Ballston Spa for seven or eight weeks, and incurred an rxpense ot $aU. It was also shown that his commercial losses, in consequence of his absence, were about 5000. The agent of the company had omitted lo send a person to the short curve lo see if any train was approaching, as is usually done, and it was also known that the locomotive was expected at Saratoga about the time the accident took place. After retiring for an hour and a half, the jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for lignt ltionsanu uonais. 1 he defendants, it is stated, will move for a new trial , Ball. American.

SCENES IX CONGRESS. Washington, Dec. 26. Your readers will remember that some days ago Mr. Adams presented a memorial from the Peace Society of New York, praying Congress to look with favor upon an overture which the Mexican Congress had authorized the Executive of that country to make, to set

tle the question in dispute between that Government and the United States, by arbitration. When he offered it, Mr. Adams moved to refer it to a Select Committee with instructions to Read, Consider, and Report on the subject. This memorial was the first thing in order to-day. Mr. Adams said he would so far modify his proposition as to strike out the word "read," and thus let the resolution instruct; the committee to consider and report on the subject of the memorial. His reason for in-i traducing the word "read." first, was that the Committee of Ways and Means, a committee ' quite as important as that on Foreign Relations, have never read the petitions referred to them on a subject cf the greatest importance to the. country a National Bank and the majority of that committee, in a recent publication, openly justified this course as the proper. Mr. Adams commented with great severity on tins conduct. He declared If he had so acted, he should have thought he had betrayed the duty he owed to the House and the country! He wouid, no doubt, be called a Bank ruffian for saying this; but such was his opinion of what the committee ouht to have done. Mr. Adarns then besran To cut away at the famous manifestoof Cambreleng "uju,ui J "g""1" mi. i' leicner, in a Svle so effective, that ihe SneaLpl r,,tl, Tlltn IlK Prt 'wllillnrs trrine( M.

Cambreleng, finding the way pretty safe, hoped the House would permit Mr. Adams to go 0:1: but felt assured, at the same time, that the House would do no such thing. Mr. Adams exclaimed "They are six to one, Mr. Sneaker, nnn- n thnv were in the case of my colleague and there"fore I hope I may go on." "ORDER," vociferated Mr. Speaker in reply, "rap! rap! rap!" went his ivory apology for a hammar. uO!i!" said Mr. Adams, "if all allusion lo the glorious six against one "Order!"' shouted the Speaker again, at the top of his voice, "The gentleman from Massachusetts w iil lake his sea!.:' Mr. Adams demanded with vehemence I' For what, sir, am I to take my scat now?" The Chair instantly recovered its composure, and replied that Mr. A. could not be permitted to allude to the controversy between Mr. Fletcher and his colleagues at that time. Mr. Adams dropped this point: and entered upon an elaborate and most powerful argument against referring the memorial to the committee on Foreign Relations. He declared it (0 be his firm belief that this country is norD on the verge of a War xrilh .Mexico a War, recommended by the Executive and from which nothing but the wisdom and firmness, and justice of the representatives of the people could save us. He dwelt upon this point for some time, with all the illustrations which he is accustomed to throw around every subject he handles. He then boldly attacked that passage in the Message, w herein Mr. Van Buren having reminded Congress that ilmy predecessor'' had "recommended a final demand of redress with a contingent authority to the Executive to make reprisals, if that demand should be made in vain," goes on to say, that "from the proceedings of Congress on lhat recommendation it appeared that the opinion of both branches of the Legislature coincided ivith that of the Executive 'that any. mode of redress known to the law of nations might justifiably be used," &c. &c. Mr. Adams said he did not wish tooueslion the personal veracity of the President but he defied any man to point to the act of this House that warranted the President in making such an averment. Thc.Chair interposed here; andtdecided these remarks irrelevant. Mr. Adams replied, that he only w ished to know whether the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, or any other member, could point to any single act justifying this extraordinary remark of the Executive. There was a pause. Not a man could reply. The Speaker finding that no plausible answer could be given, said it was out of or der to put the question and therefore, out of order to reply to if. What a convenient rule, w hen the question is such a poser, Mr. Adams nrouehl the mnitpr fr .i Iip.-wI lorlhwith. lie declared, that whether his question was answered or no!, he would give his word there was not one act of the House justify ing, in any degree, the avermenlof the 1'resident. 1 here was a Report, though, from the Committee on Foreign Relations at the last regular session, which" concurred with the recommendation oflhe Executive." Here Mr. Adams was again most unjustifiably and provokingly interrupted by the speaker, on the ground of irrelevancy. He add resscd Ihe Speaker sharnlv. "I nronosp sir, to show that the Committee on Foreign Affairs made a report last winter, exactlv onpusuc u luc- prayer oi me memorialists and is not that exactly revelant to a motion to take the subject out of the hands of the Committee Or is it because I am snrnkincr -mn urrn i t -. t .... i. O " . . I V7 the point, lhat I am thus incessantly iateruDledP V The venerable Ex-President hit the nail exactly on the head. He w as by far loo pointed for the tender nerves of "the partv" and the party's Speaker. He was therefore formally declared to be outoforder by the Chair, and, of course, if any member objected to his going on, he could not proceed, but by the

permission of ihe Ilou-c. There are always?

plent y of fellows ready to object to free speaking, when the Executive is concerned and so objection was made; and the vote was absolutely taken on allowing John Quincy Adams to speak on a question, not of peace and war only; but a question involving the justice and hummanity of this country. The objectors were confounded by the tlccision of the House one hundred and eighteen for his proceeding in his speech and thiily against, Mr. Adams did not intrude on the patience of the House however. He speedily drew his remarks to a conclusion, and asked the vote on the instructions he proposed to the Committee. Colonel Howard, who you know, is Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee made a reply to the Ex-President thai struck me as altogether unsatisfactory to say the least. He was indifferent as to the instructions to consider what he objected to was being cal led upon to report cn the memorial. Viy? Because, in Mr. Howard's opinion, it had been got up; (Ihe old story about all obnoxious petitions!) and did not em.mafe from the signers. Because some of the signers had written their names with a pencil, instead of a pen .' (This you will perhaps think a joke but I assure you it was seriously urged.) Because some of the signers, again, were zvomcn. (The age of chivalry is gone!) So much for the argument of Baltimore's Representative. He descanted on some other topics, however. He told us that the intimation conveyed in the petition was the first he had receiv ed, that the decree referred to had been pas Unrl !m Ka If 1 .

Colonel Howard went further. He gallantly unuertook the rescue of ft: r. Van Buren from the difficulty in which Mr. Adams had placed him in regard lo his averment that "the opinion of both branches of the Legislature coincided with that of the Executive" that reprisals might be resorted to. What was his plea thir.k ye! Mr. Van Burerrs assertion was true, in facl, because Congress made an appropriation for a Minister, to be sent lo Mexico, whenever our diplomatic relations could be honorably renewed with that Government. The answer to this will be obvious to every one. JVlr Adams thanked the Colonel for his authority. There was then a short episode between Mr. Adams and that dapper little fellow who once represented a portion of the New York I,eco Focos but who now stands for his own nothing Cambreleng. Never was there a finer specimen of ihe farcical heroic that Cam's manner, w hen he finds himself warmly pressed. How he strutted and swelled to-day! Oh, it was rare ! "Mr. Speaker respect for myself for House for venerable gentlemen exalted station take no notice of his attacks," &c. Cam. had the bad taste to refer lo the case of Mr. Fletcher, in a very insolent manner. Mr. Adams met him there; and effectually rebuked the spirit he had got up. Mr. Adams expressed his regret at having so much discomposed the nerves of Com. He acknowledged he feit with deep sensibility the publication of the six against one followed up, as it had been, by a violent at'ack of three against one, i the House he felt it the more because it was a manifest and flagrant parly movement. He thought there was liitle chivalry in it! The Ex-President was evidently preparing to pour a hot fire into the immortal signers of ll. . ... ! . . r .

Mr. Adams paused. "Let me sec," said he, "if I can get into order again." Another pause. "I give it up!" he exclaimed at last, "and the member fiom New York may congratulate himself on his victory -I mean on not being compelled to take his seat!" ' Ihe ii.x-1'resident then replied in detail to me onjecuons oi Col. Howard.
