He states, that the danger of the navigation is so great, that before the discovery of'steain, it would have been imprudent to risk a vessel 0 any tonnage in any of the lakes which are connected by the canal. He conceives, however, that steam nayigation has entirely obviated every danger in a nautical paint of' view; and calculates that, by employing steam-tugs on the lakes, and a sufficient number oftowing horses on the canals, that the time spent in passing from Fort George, on the one side, to Corran Ferry on the other, will seldom ex— ceed forty-eight hours in summer, and seventy-two in winter.
