GARDENS IN SHIPS.

To sow in the temperate zone, and reap between the tropics, is a some what singular thing. Yet, says th»Weekly Review, it is constantly done. For the great East India ships, in immitation of the Dutch who fnvt introduced the practice have lit tie sallad gardens in fht( wooden boxes on their poops, where the seed, acted upon by a heat increasing daily, shoutfr "p

For se.veral years, the distance between these places has been computed at lcs$ than 150 miles, and the postage on letters lias been charged accordingly.

From thp Western ({uarlerly Ileview

PROGRESS OF THE WEST.

At the next census our numbers will probably exceed four millions Uliio is estimated to contain at present. between eight and nine hundred thousand inhabitants, and then will contain a million. The lady, in •.hose house we write thosn remarks, •s a young and fresh looking woman, and she remembers, when there were lint six framed houses in Cincinnati It contained last winter. »s ascertained b) actual numeration, sixteen 'housand two hundred inhabitants it has a great many neat houses, and few gardens, which will bear oroud comparison with any, that we ave seen. Nearly two hundred .muses were built the last season, and et, as wc know to our cost, not a house is to be rented. W have a ,reat collection of enterprising mehitnies, spreading the products of their industry up and down our almost interminable streams. Turn a hungry army loose amongst lis, and if they have money in their po,ckets it will be their own fault, if they have not plenty of pork and Hour Nearly one hundred and fifty steam boats ply on our waters. An Atlantic cit, who talks of us under the name of backwoodsmen, would not believe, -hat such fairy structures of oriental georgiousness and splendor, as the Washington, the Florida, the Walk in the Water, the Lady of the Lake. &c. &c. had ever ex«sted in the imaginary brain of the romancer, much less, that they were actually in existence, rushing down the Missis sippi, as on the wings of the wind, or ploughing up between (he forests, and walking against the mighty current'as tilings of life,' bearing speculators, merchants, dandies, line ladies, eyery thing real, and every thing affected, in the form of humanity, with pianos and stocks of novels, and cards, and dice, and flirting, and love-making and drinking, arid ehampaigne, and on the deck, perhaps, three hundred fellows, who neither fear whiskey nor gun-powder. A steam boat, coming from Nevv-Or leans, brings to the remotest villages of our streams, and the very doors of the cabins, a little Paris, a section of Broadway, oy a slice oi Philadelphia, to ferment in the minds of our young people, the innate propensity for fashions and finery. Within a day's journey of us three distinct canals are in respectable progress to wards comp'etibn.

Two

bly be completed this yurnmer. The very thought of

either

would have

iwolllkitttfaMltti

been rejected as moon shine specut itions at the close of the revolutiona ry war, when contemplated, as the work of the whole nation. The E rie canal, taking the freshness of the country, through which it is located, into view, is a project absolutely stupendous But twenty years ago, and nine tenths of the route was an unbroken wilderness Scarcely have log cabbins sprung up among the trees, when a survey is made for a canal three hundred and twenty miles in length, and with 118.) feet of lockage It will stretch

along from hill to hill, through forests as old as the world. Uniting the limped waters of the lake with those of the gulph of Mexico on the one hand as they are already united with the Atlantic on the other One hundred and sixteen miles are contracted to be fiui lied this year. The prospect is, that the whole will be finished in 1830, at an expense of between three and fouf million dollars. The iami canal terminating at this town, is GT miles in length will cost between and 700.0QU dollars, has 300 feet lockage, and will open the greater part of its extent to boats, this summer, and is expected to connect the waters of Mad river with the Ohio, next season Cincinnati will soon be the centre of the 'celestial empire.' as the Chinese sayj md instead of encountering the storms, the sea sickness, and dangers of a passage from the gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic, whenever the Erie canal shall be completed, the opulent southern planters will take their families, their dogs, and parrots, thro' a world of forests, from N»w-Orleans to New-York, giving us a call b) the way When they are more acquainted with us, their voyage will often terminate here.

The whole country above, below, and on all sides, is on a march of improvement, of which this is a fair sam pie We have twice travelled thro' the State of Ohio from Wheeling to Cincinnati, an extent of between two and three hundred miies We have travelled in no part of the United States with more pleasure. The us pect of the country is charming, with the pleasant alternations of lertile valiies, £f cultivated hills, dotted with a number of considerable towns dy pleasant villages, «!y sprinkled with a succession of miny stone and brick houses,.not' of the most beautiful architecture to be sure, but evidencing abundance and comfort We could hardly bring ourselves to realize, that the country through which we pa-sed in a linn of mail stages was icarcelv twenty years old The nobio national road is connected in many places, and oil see hosts of the laborers at their work upon it. The taverns are every where excellent.

The abundance of the table would dine a file of soldiers after the guests had risen The load ot eatables with which the table groans, is universally surmounted with fowles killed after your arrival,
