THE LEvEE.-Many complaints have lately been
made by our citizens of the Levee, in the Second
Municipality, from Canal street to st. Mary's mar
ket Along the whole of that front of the Levee
there is but one place, at POydras street, where foot
passengers can pass to the river without getting in
the mud. The ballast road on the Levee has been
delayed for want of material; had this been pro-
cured at the proper time it would have been con-
tinued and completed long since, the whole of that
part of the Levee been graded, and the water ae-
cumulating from the rains drained of-thus avoid
ing the difficulty now so loudly and so justly COM
planned Of Whether this has occurred through
neglect or parsimony, we know not; but we do
know that the work on the Levee is delayed to too
late period in the season. We alluded to this sub
jet on the Goth September last, and we now see
that it not only affects most seriously the reception
and discharge of freighs, but also the comfort and
convenience of every person having business Oh
the Levee.
