Jt is highly probable that the increase of Tolls
for October and November over those of the same
months last year will bring the total Canal income
of 1311 fully up to Two Millions ok Dollars.
Bui tit any rate our $12,000,000 worth of completed
Canal- not only pay all their own charges und the
inten s;, on $1.0,000,000 worth of uncompleted and
therefore unproductive works, but they actually pay

Great West from our one choked avenue down the
St. Lawrence and the. Mississippi .' These are
questions which come home to the rumninn sen-e
anil the interest of every New-Yorker. Let them
be wisely answered ore it is too late.
Thk EpfIsTGHAH Libels.?We cannot but re?
gard the virtual defeat of Mr. J. Fenimore Cooper,
in his effort to convict Cel. Webb of a libel, a- a
theme, of hearty and general congratulation. Wo
uro as lar us any one from wishing to oncourage in?
to have encouraged, licentiousness in the Press,
and especially in its strictures on the persona! mo?
tives and private churueter of individuals: bu>
what are the facts in this case .' Mr. Coop, i .
clearly the uggressor. ^e began the war by severe
harsh attacks upon and gross caricatures of tin
character of our Country and Countrymen, und
especially upon thut of the Public Press. That
Press, both for itself and as the ort;an of the Ame?
rican Public, repulled his harsh imputations, anil
in sumo cases retorted them. Where ' Mr. Effing
ham' (the self-chosen appellation i f Mr. Cooper in
those works of fiction wherein lie is manifestly hi
own hero) hail depicted American manners and
sentiments us vulgar an.l groveling;, the Press of?
fered in rejoinder the manners ami self-exhibited
sentiments of Mr. Effingbam. This may not have
been profitable or laudable; gay. if you please, thai
it was no:?and yet it strike- us thut the uugiessoi
ought not to complain of it. If dissatisfied will
the result ot his first till why not either 'abandon
the field or couch another lance and try again !
Instead of that he has chosen to brings his liars!
critics under the discipline of the law. This he
??an do; but it certainly seems to us that the author
of those harsh-judging, icy, savac** detractions o'
"Waller Scott, after ho had lain for years in hi
peaceful grave?to sav nothing of the bitterness ol
* Homeward Bound'and' Home as Found.'?.nigh'
not to have been the first to appeal to the law foi
protection.
But Mr. Cooper appears to think different]) :
and he has brought some half a dozen actions fin
damages, und procured as many indictments
ngninst sundry Editors who have spoken harsh!}
of himself and his woiks. Some ol" them, who
made DO defence or next lo none, have been cast i
small verdicts, evincing a very sluggish sympathy
in juries for ihe wrongs of the Monikin man; hut
Col. Webb, who lias certainly been the greatcs
sinner in the lot. having followed up the matter with
Iiis indomitable energy ami had the action thorough?
ly defended, has obtained u verdict equivalent to a
triumphant acquittal. The thanks of the Pres- an
due to him for hi* spit ited maintenance and vital:,-j.
tionof ibeir matual rights, und tor establishing thi
principle that the Fiess has some light to canvass
the conduct and motives of those who uppear as it

Mr. Bvp.p.itt's Lecture before the Mercantile
Library Association last evening?the -econd oi
the courie?though professedly a discussion of the
question " Is Romun Patriotism consistent with
the spirit of our Republican Institutions ' '" was in
fact a rapid and vigorcus examination of the es?
sential principles of the Government and policy of
the mo-t eminent nations of all antiquity from the
lirst universal empire, the Assyrian, down to the
overthrow and subjugation of Rome by the fierce
barbarians of the North. The several Asiatic em?
pires, he said, may bo regarded as identical in the
great error of conceding no rights, no immunities
to the individual, ar:d of course none to the rntis?:
while they regarded the glory of the sovereign, the
splendor and power of the Empire, as the object
of all exertion, the supreme good.
The Roman History is that of u trreat principle
which has charncterzed the history of all nations?
the insatiable cupidity of empire?a principle first
developed in tho murder of Abel, and illustrated
;n the conduct of the Jews when they conquered
the Land of Canaan. Nebuchadnezzar gave a
new doveloperaent or position to this principle, in
setting tip his golden image on the plain of Dura,
and compelling all men to fall down and worship it.
rhe axiom of bis rule was, " Is not this great
Babylon which I have built?" Alexander
the Great merely altered the text, as expressed in
bis reply to Darius, " There catinot be two suns
in tho heavens." The glory of the monarch i
-lill every thing, the rights, the happiness of the
People nothing. Such was the spirit of the groat
Empires of antiquity.
The spirit of ihe boasted Republics of Groere.
if closely analyzed, will be found little better.?
Their vaunted Republicanism wus but the democ
tacy of u band of pirates, conceding equality to each
other that they may the more effectually war upon
the rights of uil mankind beside. ' The lust to
shine or rule,' the passion tor conquest and domin?
ion, was as strong in their breasts as in those of
le- greatest despots; and their vaunted expedi?
tions against surrounding or distant nations, from
tliut of Jason ufter the Golden Fleece, were little
better timn a mere formidable piracy. At length,
this l ist of conquest turned them against each
other : one member of ihe confedeiacy assumed to
ie the ' Empire State," seized the revenues und the
aims belonging to all, and endeavored to maintain
her usurped dominion?but in vain. After u ^an
iruinnry and doubtfnl struggle, Athens was hum?
bled by the prowess of Sparta, axd her power for
ever crushed. But distant nations hud now learned
to avert from their own shores the drraded arms oi
Greeco by turning them against each other; to
baffle by gold and intrigue where they could no.
vanquish by force. Thus fell Greece, self-destroyed,
* victim of unhallowed ambition.
Passing to the history of Rome, Mr. Burritt
considered the origin nnd early history of tlia* Re?
public less censurable than that of earlier nations.
Bui Home, too, was a nation of warriors?their
trade was to snbdue und to govern?tu overcome
by force or to de-troy, by disscr sions, nil the na?
tions with which they successively rarue in con"
tact. ' Divide und conquer,' was the firs; Biaxin1
of ihe Slate ; and. unlike the Greek-, conquest
was with them not merely n political aim, but u
religious principle. It was the soul of their pub?
lic policy, and written in blood on thehistorvol
nations. So rose, flourished, declined and fell the
Komati [tower,
There is no pure Republicanism anterior to the
period of our own history. Its first advent was
upon the rock-bound shores of eur country; and
bereis its home. [Mr. B. closed in an elegam
and forcible peroration, calculated to keep alive in
the hearts of bis hearers the flame of true Democ?
racy, as distinguished from tbe delusive and per?
nicious counterfeit?a compound of lust of powei
and impatience of just restinint?which ba? tc
long ntui tsio widely usurped it? name. ]

reached New-Orleans at the date oi* the Herald's
pretended letter, or the day after. Vet now, bo

[CT* Mr. Elim : Burritt, ' the Learned Black?
smith,' is a citizen of Worcester, Massachusetts,
where he bns quietly pursued his trade for many
vears. He was first introduced to public notice
by Gov. Everett, in a Literaiy Address or Lecture,
wherein he mentioned, as an encourorjoment to
young me* in the ordinary walks of life, that there
was in Worcester a blacksmith, who never enjoyed
any hut the must ordinary education, and who sup?
ported himself by daily labor at kis anvil, wbe had
yet made himself master of fifty languages, with
:i>-ar!y the whole circle of useful learning, and was
-till adding daily to his stores of knowledge. The
curiosity naturally excited by this information has
since invaded somewhat the retirement in which
lie hud previously lived, and he has been induced
on a few occasions to address public ussemblages.
Mr. Burritt is some forty-five to fifty years old.
in size and appearance resembles Hon. B. F. But?
ler, and dresses and speaks among us rather like
a country clergyman. His hands, however, have
the dints of the hummer upon them. His elocu?
tion is distinct and clear, but not impressive; nnd
his pronunciation is often faulty, evincing an ac
quaintance with classics! names from reading
merely. In his Lecture last evening, winch evinced
profound and just thought, there were menypassa
of striking force and eloquence. His Lecture
hud been well considered and matured, and was
delivered without hesitation or embarrassment.
