THE LATE EMBEzzLEMxST AFFAIR IN New On
LEANs-It has been fully ascertained that Caas.
BlsD chard, the young clerk who robbed his en-
poyer Mr. Bleasey, OF $ll 900, left for Havana last
Thursds on the sch oner Montegut, carrying the
mt ney with him. The particulars Of this embezzle
msnf 20 far as we have been able to gather are as
iollows:- Bsnc hsrd had been in the employ Of Mt.
Blessey about eighteen months. He came to this
city at that tine frc N the North. He won the con-
fdeDce Of his employer by bis industry and at
teDtion to business and wa, promoted to the rank
Of confidential clerk. few days since Mr.. Bes
sey had business in Mobile, and left Blanchard in
charge Of the concern; and also leaving him che.ks
signed In bank In order that he might draw at
will on the Citizer s. and State banks. Blanchard
commenced at once collecting all the outstanding
accounts Of toe orcern, ard IL Is said sold CON
siderable quantity Of goods. He then filled one Of
the blank checks on the Citizens Bank for 81 800,
which balanced the account. He then drew on the
State Bank for 81 400, got drafts on Havana, pro-
cured bic passport, and is now in saefty. The
balance Of the money he has in gold. Mr.. Blessey
Is afraid that his loss may prove still heavier, a.
no money had been received for some time from
any of their country customers and heretofore they
bad been in regular receipt Of large sumo. 1t is
thought Blanchard may have taken the letters and
drafts from the Post Office aud appropriated item.
Blanchard was born in Washington, we believe, Is
very young man, very respectable ia personal
appearance, and went often to the lake with fast
horse.-Nec Orleans Delta, Juiy23.

The Saul Ste. Marie Journal, of she sd, b.ings
us some items OF intelligence.
The ship canal is in excellent condition.
months Trial proves 1t to be fully equal to the SER
vice required OF it. " rhe mbankments,n says the
Journal, "present no indications of weakness.
They are as firm as it ia possible for them to BE-
made" The caisson gate answers the purpose
very we'll, and the Journal thinks will turn out to
be the most efsctual means OF closing the canal,
in Gaze Of break OF any that could be devised, not
even excepting the guard lock. II can be worked
with all the facility OF lock gate, at the seme Ii ne
possessing the advantage of being in one section,
and requiring but one movement to open and shut it,
There was singular rise and fall Of water In the
car al on the l8sh, probably 0ccasioned by winds
above. 1t Is described by the Journal a. follows-
About nlue o'clock A. M, Wednesday the water
in the canal was observed to rise quite fast This
continued until ten o'clock, when the water reached
Tire height Of Ia feet inches as determined by the
gauge at the upper lock gate. There was slight
breeze from N. w. at the time.) This was ab out
inches above its usual level. The water remained
at this point fer the space of about ten minutes
then fell to height Of abou. ID eet, al which poiu
il sgain commenced rising and reached IL feet G
inctes. At III O'Clock the water began to fall era
dually until at IL O'Clock II had fallen to the heigh
Of 10 feet inches, from which point il and tel
alternately until 4 o'clock, when Il assumed IT,,
Usual level. When the water was ii feet inches
the wind changed from the north west to the south
cash, which, though hardly pefceptibe here, Was
plainly shown by the direction in which the clouds
were moving. The water did not vary In depth
above the rapids during this time.
