The canal has already been of considera ble advantage to the citizens on the line, and above Middlctown, owing to the almost im passable state of the roads in the vicinity of Cincinnati, and is cvenpow a source of considerable revenue. The contracts for the completion of the whole line, if we recollect lightly, will expire in July next. When it is completed, there will be a saving to the far mcrs of this section of the country of near CO miles of waggon transportation, and they will in a few years, be that much nearer a market as substantial and permanent as that of Cincinnati.
