To the results of this calculation, are to be added die population and extent of the country opened by the Morris canal, which will, at the smallest possible estimate, be equal to one half of the population and surface of the state of New-Jersey, and we shall obtain the sum of 1,583,072 inhabitants, and 159,480 square miles of country rendered dependent by canal navigation upon the commercial transac- tions of a single city.
