first laid sut, was 353 miles, but, owing ! or 305 tons for every square mile in tiie

K.s g i .m a ton is a bout cubic yard which makes 300 cubic yards of cole to every mile. If the whole sub surface Were: coal; it would be exhausted in 10 600 years, that if one yard in thickness only, no reasonable conjecture can be made however. The beds of coal in some places are in number five six and seven so that there is every probability that several thousand years will pass by before any great diminution at the present rate ol consumption can take place.

hi some deviations, it is supposed it will

be 360. As it will be finished to Clarkson, 18 1 2 miles beyond Rochester, this mnnth, all will be complete from that to S.henectady this fall, which will leave unfinished, after this year, 66 miles on the west end from Clarkson to Black Kock, and on the east end 72 miles, be rvveen Schenectady and Albany. Of that on the west end, 9 miles will be over -v holly untouched, till ihe next year. All the resr is in progress, and much of tt. considerably advam ed, and it is believed will be nearly finished in 1 824, as will be 'he Northern Canal in IS23. At ti7e termination of the Canal at the upper end of Albany, they are now constructing an expensive Bason, -which is 140 feer wide at the head and, in the middle, the widest part. 450; the average is ab ut 300, and its whole length about 4 0O0 The surface of the Basin wdl be hnua 30 acre3, and the water in it about 10 feet deep. The height of the pier on be wh dr 4 000 feet is 18 and its width 80 feet- I hi average rlepth of the wa-. !" on the outside of ihe pier is also about 10 teet. The las L-.ck of the Erie aod Cbamplrt't, CapU at the head of the Ba sm is the usud s zc of 90 bv 14 fret. ' ha at ihr southern extremity of ihe Bas.n is to ia?se the water in it 4 ft et.

John H g gnis, in Montgomery cnuntv, whuh states, that a man was executed at Mobile, in Alarch last, who alleged himself have been the murderer, and asserted that Hamilton was innocent. IL followed Sm derson, he said, from N-itchrZ, and would .fuvr kdlr-d him sooner but foriear of Hamilton." The above report has acquired an extensive, circulation in the newspapers, and sreirn to have excited a good deal of interest among the friends of the parties. Who this "Mr. Robert Higgins, in Alabama," is, we do not know, nor his motive for fabricating such a story. It is utterly without foundation there wa3 no one executed in March last, nor does any one, as far as we can learn, recollect hat a man was ever executed in this city making any such confcssina.,
