ever, are very trilling.

The passage boats arc drawn by

three horses tandem risrged; the oth

er boats by one or two horses, according to the size of the boat a

boy rides the rear horse, and travels

from three to four miles per hour.

Passengers leaving Utica at 8 o clock reach Weed's Basin, C7 miles, the

next morning at 7 o'clock, travelling

all nifrht. The charge is only 4 cents

per mile, wnicn inciuucs uoaru anu

not better, than the taverns on the

road. This is as rapid as the stages

parts of the stafe of New-York. Numerous emigrants from the hardy

arid industrious northern and eastern

hive arc to be seen transporting

themselves and their families, at utile or no expense, to settle on the

lands bordering on the Canal. Merchants residing in Pittsburch-

Cincinnati, Lexington, and Louis

ville, and in Michigan and Indiana, will soon get their goods transported

for 1-4 the price they now pay, and

save as much or more in the break

age and damage now unavoidable in

wagons, besides the saving of half or two-thirds in time; which, in fact, is extending the credit on their goods.

J; Y. Daily Adver. 0:0 FIRE.Last Sunday afternoon there happened the greatest fire ever known in this city. It commenced in a board-yard in the rear of McElderry's wharf, and soon communica

ted to two adjacent yards. The three yards, occuping a small space

of ground, arc computed to have bad

not less thanrro millions feet of lumber in them, much of which was pitchpine hoard nv.d scnntling. AH this

-lock of combustible material was soon in a blaze, and with it from 25 to 30 buildings, most of them large u.d valuable ware-houses on the wharf, filled with goods seventeen were destroyed in one range. The contents of some of these were also nearly consumed, and many thousand

dollars worth of roods were thrown

into the dock, as if for the desperate purpose of lessening the amount of

combustible matter, for otherwise they must inevitably have fallen a prey to the flames. The vast body

of fire defeated the most powerful ef

forts to check it for about four hours; when, Jthe materials being partly con

sumed, the fire companies began t6

operate with effect, and to prevent a

lurther extension of the calamity;

though the flood of water poured

on the flame must have had some effect

to lessen the violence of its progress. It is hard to imagine the quantity of

heat thown out but the curb stones

ofa narrow street, that sepc rated the

board-yards from the ware-house were dissolved by it. and blocks of

marble and freestone, in a stone cutters yard (round two sides of which the boards were piled,) to the value

of 3000 dollars, were destroyed converted into lime or cracked to

pieces.

Several of our worthy and men to

rious citizens, whose situations were

easy, have nearly lost their all. The

value ofthc whole property destroy

ed is variously estimated; but we

think that it must have amounted to

about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. IjYUcS W. Register.
