Those CANAL BoATs.-In the Alexandria Ga
zette of yesterday we find the following in rela-
ticn to the Canal boats lately purchased in New
York for use on the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal -
"ALEXANDRIA, June 30-At the request of the
party in charge of twenty Canal Boats being part
of forty seven lately brought from New York, ]
certify that, having measured the width of the
only canal boat in port, and which belongs to the
Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, and one
which was rebuilt late last fall, and has made one
trip to Cumberland since, find the following re-
suit Ten Of the New York boats are of a less
width; three correspond in width four are one
fourth Of an inch wider; and the remaining three
selected without regard to width, have proceeded
up the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, as far as nav
igation will permit. The statement that they are
three inches too wide is, therefore, erroneous.but
not more so than that respecting their owner
ship as understand the Cumberland Coal Com
pany have no interest in them.
