The discovery of this grotto, added to tbe extensive petrefaction along the river in this vicinity, es pecially on Cowan’s Island, of the ooce inhabitants of the deep, can not fail to render Watert*wo, (to the curious at least) a lasting place of resort. It nay be proper to mention here that the Cavern has been but partially explored, and that no one who has been into it, although •ome suppose they have travelled more than 100 rods, pretend to have found the extent of it, or to know the number of rooms, balls and chambers which it contains.

Yestetday was taken in Middletown Point Cove, an extraordinary fish, which to us, id the vicinity, is a peifect non-de- scupt. It is, as far ai we «ee, neither whale, porpoise, Sturgeon or shark, or pertaining to any of their respective spe cies; anu yet, strange as it may seem , resembling all uf them. It m easures, from the extremity ot the snoat to the termination of the tail, 32 feet 10ft i.ich- es. W here the head joins the neck, it is about four feet 10 inches across ; the diameter of the body, from the ridge of the back to the lowest part of the belly where thickest, is precisely 6 feot one inch. Its tail, contrary to that o f the day is la->t approaching, when, in point ot business, wealth and reiipeclability, it will have but few rivals in (he state.— It is surrounded by a highly cultivated, Ier1 1 1e a n d healthy countn , w hose inhab itants are enlightened, industnous and wealthy. Its geoj^raphical situation is 13 .mles north Irmn Canandaigua,2 1 east Irom K o c h o ter, 1 j west from Lyons, and l4 s o u th f u m i'ullcney v 1 1 le. Mud creek runs fi oin west to cast about 40 rods north tioni, and nearly parallel with, Mam-st ihe whole length of the village, which is one mile On this stream aie situated two excellent Gust-M ilU, one ot which ih about one mile west, and the other, a bout half that distance east of the centre of the village —and in its immediate vi cimtv, are to be found several other Grist-M ills, Carding Machines, Uc. on the same Btream, and also a number ol ?aw M ills, erected on smaller stream®, which a re tributary thereto. Between Mud creek and Maio-street s the Krie Canal, which runs nearly par allel with both, the whole extent of the village. 13y an elegant curve, however, the Canal is made to cross Main Street at the ra»tein, and to approach witnin a- bout two rods of it, at the western ex tremities ol the village :—at the former iif winch, there is a large and commodius basin, with two new sto e houses on its margin. One of these buildings is 90 teet long, 40 feet w nle, and three stories high, [■ait of which, is occupied as a dry goods store,— the other one, is large and con venient. Nearly opposite the centre of the village, another basin is now nearly completed, on which two more store houses will soon be erected. At the west end uf the village is a third basin, directly opposite to which, tl e re is an elegant dry dock,— it is now nearly finished. In addition to the advantages, which have already resulted lo this village, to gether with those that may hereafter be anticipated, i d consequence ot the Canal pasting through it, the Montezuma T u rn pike, which, it is thought, will be com pleted this season, must, in connexion with the Canal, bring most of the travel from the east and west through thia place. A line of P ackets hai already been es tablished between this village and Utica, by which conveyance passengers are tak en from the U tter place to Rochester, (with a short d istance of land carriage) in about two and a half day*.
