racing with the Armeni1, aud had on board
about 300 passengers 100 of whom it is

GJThe business men in New Orleans
are in great trouble about bar at the mouth
of the Mississippi, which hns been steadily
increasing until it now prevents the passage
of large vessels when the river is low. A
distinguished engineer of the United States
army, resident at New Orleans, offers to
make channel twenty feet deep and wide
enough to allow tow-boat with ship on
each side of her to pass at all times, and
to maintain it in this condition for the sum
of 800, 900 per annum, to be paid either by
the city, the State or the general govern.

struct dams across some Of the smaller out.

of water through the main streams.
