Kingston News (Kingston, ON), Oct. 16, 1845

p.2 The Beauharnois Canal - We understand that the water was let into this canal on Friday last, and a small steamer, the Albion, went through it on Saturday with a select party, consisting of some of the Executive Councillors, the President of the Board of Works and a few friends. The steamer was passed through the canal and ascended into Lake St. Francis without the slightest difficulty, and returned down the rapids from Coteau du Lac to Lachine. [Montreal Courier]

p.3 A New Enterprize - Our attention was drawn this morning to a neat schooner-rigged craft lying at Greer's Wharf, which we were informed had come through direct from the City of New York without breaking bulk. On making inquiry of the Captain, R.B. Chapman, we found that our informant was correct - and further that the Magnet, for such is her attractive name, was built at Morristown, St. Lawrence Co., N.Y., by her enterprising Skipper, will carry 115 Tons, and passed through the Erie Canal with 62 Tons in 3 1/2 feet depth of water. Captain Chapman left New York on the return trip, a week ago last Monday, and found no difficulty on the passage - his vessel working admirably. The Magnet had a freight of some 250 Bbls Pork for this port.

We hope the Magnet will always attract full freights and fair weather, and richly reward the enterprise of her young and enterprizing owner. [Chronicle]
