The PoToMAc.-On Monday last tie Pot.
mac and Conocochcague were about fifteen lt,
above low water mark, the great rise having BEE
produced by a rain which caused a rapid mcdr
of the snow in the Mountains above. Ibes
streams rose considerably above their banks, Il
undating fields. and drifting before their rapi
currents every thing movable within their read,
A great quantity of produce has passed b.
place from the upper country, on It's way to Mar
ket. Among the boats to which public attenta
was here directed, was a new keel, of a beauti-
model, and of greater dimensions thaa any eys
used on the river before, having on board tM
hundred and seventy three barrels Of flour al.
whiskey. 1t is owned by Mr.. John Hoffman, 4
Allegheny county, and SO constructed for h.
more easy navigation of the Canal. A large EE
Der ofboats having taken in loads at this place,
have also left for Georgetown during the pH
week.
The coal that has been delivered, principI!
at the commencement of the week, exceeds .
quantity any ever before deposited here d
the same time. There cannot be less than iiter-
thousand bushels now upon the bank, much DIT
being in the hands of retail dealers.
