GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.

GEORGETOWN, April %, 1857.
The new boat James l.. Cathcart built by the
Messrs. Espey for the purpose Of testing the prac
teal applicability of Capt Cathcart's newly in
vented method of propelling vessels to canal nav
isation, was brought up yesterday, and is now
lying at the foundry wharf of Mr. w. Il. Duvall
awaiting her machinery She is by far the most
perfect and beautiful model of a boat we have
ever seen afoat upon our canal. The Captain ex-
poets to have everything in readiness for a trial
trip about the 10th of Nav.
Who can explain to us how ii is done? We
are credibly informed that beautiful marble for
tagging, steps, &c. has been purchased Of per-
sons in the employ of the Managers of the Wash
ington Monument Association by individuals re-
siding in our city at prices as low if not lower
than the most ordinary stone used for such pur-
our citizens get good bargains, but really think
that, unless the marble to which we refer had
been condemned unfit to be used about any
part OF the monument or grounds (Which from
its appearance, we hardly think likey,) it ought
to have been reserved until another effort shall be
made towards the completion Of that noble struc-
ture.
The fine barque Sylph Capt Jones' from Bos-
ton, with cargo of plaster for Hartley & Bro,
reached our city yesterday, and Is now discharg
ing. We understand that she is to take in at our
city cargo for Halifax, n. :.
The supply of fish at our wharves continues
quite limited and prices high. Shad are selling
this morning at SLASH per hundred, and her
rings at $SaS9 per thousand.
The supply Of wood arriving is unusually small
for the season, and prices have considerably ad
vanced. Good seasoned oak would readily COM
mand 81, and pine (seasoned) SO to 80 IS. 5.

srAIN.-The New Orleans Picayune, says:
.'After the revolutionary plots Of the clergy and
adherents OF Santa Anna, the great subject Of ex
citement in Mexico was the threatened collision
with Spain. The minister of War, General Soto
had been ten days at Vera Cruz, inspecting, per-
sonally, the fortress of San Juan de tloa and the
naval and military establishments of the civ
Ten. Corona, and other restless chieflains now
exlies from the republic, have offered their serv.
ces TO the President, which We're formally accept
ed Gen. Ghilardi has also declared himself
with the exciting topic, and comments are yolum-
nous and various. The Trait d L. MON, referring
to the rumored support of France and England
expresses the opinion that the real object Of ther
expedition Is the surveillance Of the United States
and their movements in the Gulf.
The military force, detailed for the protection
OF the Vera Cruz road, had arrived on the spot
and Orizaba is now patrolled by cavalry The
travelling public, however, have to pay the ex-
penses Of their protection A tax of half dollar
is levied on each passenger.
In case OF an actual conflict between the two
countries, the Trait Tnion counts upon material
aid from the braces, who will cross the Rio
urande or make their landing good at Acapulco,
and other ports of the Pacific.
Destructive swarms Of lOcusts have made the ir
appearance ia various parts Of the republic and
done gseat injury to the growing crops
In all probability the Mexican government will
at the end OF the nine DAYS accede also TO the de-
ands of the British legation in the matter of the
indemnity of Mr.. Barron, and there the difficulty
will end.
Col. Butterfeld, bearer of the RESPONSE of our
government to the Forsyth treaties had not
reached the city on the 4th. having been detained
by sickness at Pueblo. His dispatches however
had been forwarded.
