TIE CREvAssE--l' viii be seen by reference
10 the proceedings Of the Committee meeting yeser
day that operations are 20 be- once more commenced
at the crevasse under the direction OF Messrs Dunbar
and -uri In their report o. the Committee. they
press the opinion that they close the breach or at
least lessen the volume OF water much that outlets
through the ridge will be of sufficient capacity 10 carry
il OF Even in this the city Will in a short ume
be at east partially relieved from inunda,ion. We
trust that Messrs Dunbar and Surgi viii succeed but
we have been disappointed often that We consider
ii exceedingly dangerous 10 express an opinion
y. o. Pcsyune, 2d.
THE OvERFIOw.-We have nothing new u say
this morning concerning the overflow The water yes
trday receded slowly but fear the fall will not be-
continued one. The increased body Of water coming
IN al the creyassc must raise the level of the Hood m
the city The Third Municipality and that part OF the
First living below the Canal CArondeet remain ar yet
intact We cannot expect that they vii long continue
so il the opinion OF the best informed persons mat
the levec which protect the lower portions OF the
city cannot sustain the immense pressure eXerted upon
them by the large body of water above.
