On Thursday last, about fifty gentlemen of

blrd at the Forks, and carefully examined the
Engineers aud Commissioners location of
The disputed part Of the canal, with the sppar-
ent advantages and disadvantages of eacil.-
We understand. they have drawo up apaper
expressing their decided, and unanimous opin-
ion Of the superior advantages ofthe Commis.
sloner's location. This paper, which contains
their reasons In full. is to be presented To the
President and Directors If the James River
Company, in the hope that il may promote an
accommodation between the parties, and the
removal Of "a serious difficulty in the prosecu-
ton OF work SO interesting to this quarter OF
the state. Whichever party is right ia ia,c,
we trust the Commissioners line will be
adopted IN fact, AS the Engineers line does
not bring the canal within half a mile of the
North river, and win, il is said, be bar to the
continuance Of it up the James River.
