a total paid or due for the six months end. ing Jan. 1st, of $1,555,076.53. The expenditures of the present year, including the above sum of $341,249,40 are estimated at #2,100,000. The entire cost of the work, when comp!e:ed, it is now calculated, will reach the modest sum of 80.000,000, being double the original estimates ; and i: will bo fortunate if it is not found at last, that a stil further sum is neresssury. A committee of the Legislature, we perceive, estimate the entire cost of the work at a out 812,000,000. So mu<-h fir **pure an I wholesome water," for lite city of NewYork. So enormously fallacious are mod of the calculations made* in advance, of the cost of such wo ks, that the public hive lost all confidence in them. The Erie Canal wi. dening is another example. It was estima ted at the outset, that the entire cos' of die widening would not exceed $12,0 )0,000. It is not now admitted that double this amount would be reouircd, and by the time # * 1 # it should be finished, most likely another $12,000,000 would have to he ud led. Fifty-four secioos of die Aqueduct, out of97, are already finished, and several others nearly so. The whole length of Aqueduct arcaed comph te, is aliout 26 tn About six and a half miles of \que luct remains to be completed in Westchester County, and seven and a half of Aqueduct and pipe-work on the Island of N<'w York. Whole k'lig h of die Aqueduct to tli? dis. tributing rcservo:rat Murray H II (42nd Street) will be about 40 miles. Tise whole work is tinder contract lobe finished in 1814, except that embracing the crossing at II rlaeni River, which ill not be completed till August 1843. Should tlie entire Aqu-'duc', wiih this exoep ion, he finished by the close of the year 1841, the Commissioners have determined to erect a temporary conduit pipe, of proper dimensions, for conveying the water across said river, by which means our citizens will have the ben fit of die Aqueduct oneor two years sooner ihan they would by waiting for the high bridge to b>? completed. The height of .his bridge, from its base at the bottom of the river, to the top of the parapets, will he aboui 138 feet. lis length, about 1420 f-et. There will be 16 piers as supporters to the brdge, viz. G in tho river,(which is 620 feet wide at this poio',) and 10 on the land. Those in the river are to be 20 feet by 40 at tho base, an I about 84 in height, to he spring of the nrch, dimensions as they rise. The estimated cost of the bridge n $443 432.

But this is by no means the deepest plunge wh ch the majority of :hr Ohio L"gisla:ure have made in o tlie wliirlpool of jacobinism. There is, or was recently, a vacancy upon the bench of ill" Sup em" Court of that state. The appointing powr is vested in the Legislature ; & before the majotity would proceed to the appointment, they address n series of questions to the * several candidates for the sta'ion, demand. ing to know, in the event ofthc appointment of either, how they would decide certain pending causes. The applicants know full well, that unless they returned repli ? coincident with the views of "the party," they would have no chance ol success. To their everlasting disgrace, therefore, be it reco ded, that every candidate but one gave the required pledge.? That man should be honored. "Anion:! the faithless faithful only he."

The subscriber has for sale a large number of very superior Morus Multicaulis cuttings, warranted genuine. Owing to the culture, soil and distance allowed in planting, the proportion of large cuttings is believed to be greater than in any other lot offered jfor sale in the country. The following facts will shew the great superiority of large cuttings over small. A little more than an acre of the field in which the trees stand was | manured in the hill last spring, ) at the lime of planting, with rough stable manure. The j manure was covered but not mixed with the soil, and the cutting planted near it; the smaller separate from the larger. When the drought of spring came on, the manure absorbed the moisture from the earth around the cuttings, and although ^ they sprouted, Very few * '- > came up?in some rows * not one. The stand Was in proportion to the size of the cuttings. Of twenty-five about and over an inch in diamej tcr, planted together, twenty- * three grew and made fine trees, now standing in their places ; whilst within a few feet ol them are rows entirely vacant, though planted at the same time, in the same way, and with cuttings from the same stock, only smaller. The buds on a few of the large cuttings were injured in sawing; the two which failed were, doubltess . of this number. Here is con-* elusive proof that large cuttings such as a (great proportion of those now offered for sale) will succeed to perfection, in a bad season, and with treatment that destroys most or all of small and common size. The Price is two and a half cents per foot or half a ? i cent per Dud, A credit till January 1841 will be allowed on sums over $1G0, and till January 1842 on sums over $400; thus allowing ample time to make the money with a handsome profit out of the cuttings. Satisfactory security will be required before the der livery of the cuttings. . * V Anyone may constitute Kim- * ' self an agent for the sale lings; and will be allowed 5per % cent on sales amounting in alt * to StefiO nv ten ner e.rnf on VV w ? ? I sales amounting to $,1000.? The commission to be paid | when the money is paid for the cuttings ; or it the agent pre, fers, he may lake it in cuttings r when payment is satisfactorily secured. In this way active young men may procure i themselves a good supply of J Multicaulis,without any other ! cost than a little trouble. The cuttings may be removed and planted at any 11 time before the 20th Feb. or ! later if the spring is late.
