Union Canal Company of Pennsylvania-Incor - porated in 1817. [The object of this Company is the opening of a communication by water, for the transportation of the produce of the country, and of goods, wares, and merchan. dise, between the city of Philadelphia and the western and north-western counties of Pennsylvania, by means of a complete canal and lock navigation: it is now rapidly pro- gressing. It must be a matter of gratulation to every Penn- sylvanian to find public attention so much awakened to the lasting benefit of the state, in the improvement of the numerous and noble streams that traverse almost every county. When the Delaware shall have formed a junction
with the Chesapeake and Rariton, should the present spirit of improving the Schuylkill, Susquehanna, &c. &c. continue --- then, and not till then, will " Philadelphia be the Mistress of the American Continent." Let our Legislature do their duty: we ought to lead. Maryland and New Jersey mainly depend, as it were, on our commencement of the work, which canno: but be beneficial to all concerned, especially to Philadelphia, from her central situation: with the Delaware and Schuylkill in front and rear, and the Lehigh Mines at a trifling distance, she must naturally be the emporium of the vast trade arising from this inland and canal navigation. The estimated ex- pense of this desirable result, would, it is said, be consider- ably less than that of the Herculean Canal of New York. A perusal of two pamphlets, published some time since-the first by Wm. J. Duane, Esq., and the last by Samuel Breck, Esq. would furnish more real information relative to the to- pography of the state, its water courses, and the practicabi- lity of their conjunction, or of their being diverted into the Susquehanna, Schuylkill, &c. than is to be found in some fifty legislative speeches on the subject.]
In the State House Buildings,
Which occupy the south side of Chesnut, from Fifth to Sixth streets, are all the offices of the Corporation, and of the First Congressional District of the State. The different Courts are held in the same place. All the offices are fire-proof.

PATENTS.
'The general law concerning the issuing of patents will be found in the second volume of the laws of the United States, page 348, new edit. This law provides for citizens only, but a subsequent law (vol. iii. page 342) provides also for applicants who have resided two years or upwards in the United States, and who are not citizens.
In applying for a patent, it is necessary to attend to every legal form, for in consequence of inattention to forms only, some of the patents issued formerly, have in the courts of law been declared to be null and void.
MODE OF APPLICATION.
* " Every inventor, before he presents his petition to the secretary of state, signifying his desire of obtaining a patent, shall pay into the treasury of the United States thirty dol- fars,f for which he will be furnished with duplicate receipts, one of which he shall deliver to the secretary of state, when he presents his petition; and the money thus paid shall be in full for sundry services to be performed in the office of the secretary of state, consequent to such petition. This petition must be addressed to the secretary of state, and may be in the following or in a similar style:
'l'o the Hon. secretary of state of the
United States.
The petition of A. B. of , in the county of
", and state of , respectfully represents:
That your petitioner has invented a news and useful improve- ment [" ort art, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement in any art, machine, manu- facture, or composition of matter"] in not known or used before his application, the advantages of which he is de- sirous of' securing to himself and his legal representatives; he therefore prays that letters patent of the United States may be issued, granting unto your petitioner, his heirs, administrators or assigns, the full and exclusive right of making, constructing, using, and vending to others to be used, his said improvement, (art, invention, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, &c.) agreeably to the acts of congress in such case made and provided; your petitioner having paid thirty dollars into the treasury of the United States, and complied with the other pre- visions of the said acts. (Signature.)
The specification or description of the machine, art, dis- covery, or invention, must be given in clear and specific terms, designating it from all other inventions, and describ-

ing the whole in such a manner as to comprehend not only the form and construction, of a machine, but also the mode of using the same; and if it be only an improvement on a certain machine already invented by the applicant or any other, it ought to be so mentioned or described; and as this specification, description or schedule, enters into, and forms part of the patent, it must be without any references to a model or drawing, and must be signed by the applicant or applicants before two witnesses. It is material that this be in good language, and correctly written, as it is transcribed into the patent, and the original papers will be deposited in an office, that will hand them down to posterity; by which the honour of the country is concerned in this attention. The modest inventor will, no doubt, exclude those panegyrics on the excellence of his invention or discovery, which abounds sometimes in the productions of the inferior genius, but which ought not to enter into the patent.
