GEORGETOWN and Its Affairs.

GEORGETOWN, Feb. 6-l2 m.
Mayor Addison convened the town Councils on
Tuesday night, and transmitted to them message
q lengthy communication, comprising
some seventeen or more pages, from Messrs. Sell
den, Washington, and Solomon, upon the subject
of supplying the District Of Columbia with pure
water. The communication thoroughly discusses
all the various plans that have been heretofore
proposed, and discards them all as wholly i'm
practicable or inadequate, and then proposes to
accomplish the arduous undertaking by damming
the Potomac at some point between Georgetown
and the Falls, and from thence forcing the water
to large reservoirs situated upon the most ele-
vated point upon the Heights above our town,
cient supply for household and manufacturing
purposes, and for all the government Offices.
Mr.. Ridgely, of the Board of Common Coun-
Gil, offered resolution concurring in the plan,
and recommending it to the favorable consider
alton Of Congress. The resolution was discussed
until 10 o'clock, when both Boards adjourned
until Friday night next.
Our citizens generally are pleased to see among
us again two of our townsmen, Messrs. John
anu Wliilhm ming, VINO nave Deeu absent some
two years in California.
Our produce merchants are now looking ahead
to the opening Of the spring trade on the canal
the amount Of which, for the coming year, will,
without doubt, largely overgo that of any pre-
vious year. But that your city should receive its
proportion of benefit therefrom, il is an absolute
lesideratum that the Canal Company, or some

at least four of their bridges in this town. viz:
those Of Congress, Jefferson, and Green streets,
and that over Market street, all of which form
impossible distractions to the passage Of first
class boats and few others, it is now manifest,
will hereafter be built for canal navigation be-
tween Cumberland and its terminus.
During the last year there was committed to
our aims and work-house nearly one hundred
persons and Of that number only about thirteen
or fourteen for other causes than intemperance.
This is an alarming state Of affairs, and certainly
deserves the immediate and serious consideration
Of the guardians Of our town. We think we are
safe in saying that the amount paid into the town
treasury for tavern licenses for the same period
will not amount to more than 81 500, and that
the actual expenses Of the aims and work-bouse
amount to about So, 500, thus showing loss OF
at least 81 900 to the treasury by the license
system. Certainly we have need for the services
