CANADIAN CANAL TOLLS.

The competition destined to exist between the Canadian Canals and those of New-York, will render the following tariff of tolls interesting and useful.

There will be a great reduction from the total amount of the above rates on the class of barges and small steamboats which now pass through the rapids of the St. Lawrence, as they will be subject to the tolls on the Lachine canal only on the downwards trip, as follows:

The reduced rate of insurance on the larger class of vessels and their cargoes, which will necessarily pass through the Cornwall and Beauhar. nois as well as the Lachine Canal, downwards, and thereby avoid all risk from the rapids, will no doubt very nearly counterbalance the advantages possessed by the smaller craft.

RAIL-ROAD FREIGHT.

By act chap. 335 of the laws of 1844, the Utica and Schenectady Rail-road was authorized, on the payment of canal tolls, to carry freight during the suspension of canal navigation. The weight of articles received by said road from the Utica and Syracuse road, the tons shipped on said road between Utica and Schenectady, and the tons delivered at Albany, taken from the returns made by the Utica and Schenectady road to the Canal Department, from the close of navigation to the 15th April, a period of 139 days, are as follows:

The results of the foregoing statement are as follows:

Received at Utica by the Utica and Schenectady road, from the
Syracuse and Utica road (equal to 35 boat loads of 50 tons
each,)
Shipped between Utica and Albany, (equal to 68 boat loads,).
