OVERLOOKING OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

Under the head of New Orleans Market, next
page, it will be seen that notice is taken Of the
"Sauvc Crevasse.' The papers since have gone
into frightfu Details extracts from which we sub
join:
From the Ne,c Orleans Picayime of May II.
The SGuUe CrepdSSe.-Since we first saw crew
assc, we must confess that we have not been alto
gcther sanguine some in the hope OF soon clos
ing it..
1t is not design TO alarm any indiv idual but we
think it our duty TO say what we believe. from OBJ
serv alton is the truth.
1.-THE work already done at this crcvassc should
stand il is our opinion that the flood through the
breach cannot BE- materially arrested at shortest
der two days. If it should give way however, of
course all will have TO be done again and in the
meantime the city must become thoroughly nnndat-
ed. Water was in some places thirteen feet in
depth three days before it was but two.
IL appears that OF the planters above the ere
vase have become discouraged, and withdrawn their
forces from working, This informed was
the case with MIR. Minor Kenner aud Mr. Butler
Kcnner. Their negroes who had been several days
working at the crevasse, have been taken away
Mr.. Trudeau is the only planter above who contin-
use his force at the break. He has thirty acres OF
cane under water, which is Of course ruined. Be-
sides this, he has lost Of his negroes from cholc-
| ra. who were exposed to labor 10 the water Be-

sides these of his have died Of disease
during the whole season.
The water in the fields Of Mr.. Trulcau and Mr..
Sauvc, the crcvassc, is beginning 10 rccrdc
sIighlly-owing, presume, to the rapidly with
which il now off through the numerous outlets
and channels in and near the city which is much
greater than it was for some days after the Icvce
broken.
We had view of the Forticr crevassc short
distance below, on the opposite side Of the river.
1t has been abandoned, and the turbulent waters
rushing IN destructive torrents without bound TO
their wIdncss, over tens Of thousands of acres OF de-
voted lands.
The CrevasSe at the English 1Iun.--Thc whole
country around presents scene OF devastation pam
fu to contemplate. The breach is about one
hundred and twenty feet in width and through 1t IS
flowing a volume of water about five feet IN dcplh,
with fall Of four or five feet, giving IT great force,
and forming miniature cataract. The lcvcc Is grad
ualv giving way each end Of the crcvassc, and the
volume Of water will be much larger before the new
levec can be completed Iii now estimated by those
who have charge Of the operations that the new
work will be completed in five days, if accident
occurs but in the opinion of Others week at least
will elapsc before this desirable result can be attain
ed.
The force Of the current is great, even as far
out as the new lcvee extends, that man can with
much difficulty stand in it, and the work progress
ses this difficulty will be severely felt. The
principal part of the levcc is being built in the
bed OF the road where the ground solid than
ON either side and the piles being driven 10 such
depth mat they VIII probably Withstand the iorcc
OF the food otherwise, upon bringing the works
together in the centre, they would undoubtedly be
carried away.
The cleared fields upon Mr.. Moriers plantation,
opposite the crevasse, presents the appearance of
lake, and we informed that the crops nearly
all destroyed The flood is rapidly extending across
the swamp and and on TO the plantations below, do
ing an immense amount of damage 1t is the opinion
of planters in til" vicinity that unless the crevassc
should Immediately be closed, nearly all the crops
between there and the BaZe will be partially, if
not totally, destroyed. The water from the
is quite deep fourteen miles below; and this being
the case, we have reason TO doubt the realization
OF the worst anticipaons that are entertained
Gj-The latest accounts show no abatement Of the
overflow.

important Nautical Improvements S. Watts, jr.,
master of the ship Emma Watts, of Hallowell, Me-.
has invented an improved method of bending, reef
ing and furling the sails of vessels. Four men on
the deck of vessel can furl reef the main top
sail, or any other SAIL with the utmost ease aud
pidity no matter how furious the gale may be. No
men are required TO go alo; by this mode also, all
the topsails of vessel be rccfed and the remain
in reefng a single topsail. When il is considered
that the ships crew are frequently obliged to spend
hour more on the yard aloft, in rceing single
sail, risk of life and limb, that sails and masts
are often lost. and vessels too, for want of some
method whereby the sails be quickly disposed
of, we form idea of the value of this inven-
ton. A model of Capt. Watts invention
Gently examined in Boston by a number Of indvidu-
ais experienced in nautical things, among whom
R. B. Forbes, Esq. They all expressed their admi-
ration of its ingenuity, its entire efficacy and great
value.
Nautical 7elegraphs Mr. f. A. Dayton, of Mad
rid St. Lawrence Co, n. ", has invented
combination Of the Chemical Telegraph, with the
compass of ship, TO indicate the variation of
sci from her course. A small fiet of the chemical
paper is combined with the compass, and it is drawn
forward slowly by clockwork. The fet is marked
with parallel lines and a small steel point in conncc.
ton with the wire of the battery rests it. This
will make straight line always if the vessel does
not divcrgc from her track, but divergence OF
the vessel from her direct route will be indicated by
the point marking either angular or curved lines on
the fet The invention is a beautiful one, and the
author of it intends TO secure it by patent.-Scien-
