AFFAIRS IN ALLEGANY COUNTY.-The CuntberiaHd
Ctcdion reports an Improvement in mining business
but the demand for coal is still limited. The same
paper has the following:
RESUMPTION OF WOEK At MOUNT SAvAGE.-lt was
the intention OF the company to resume operations
at the Mt. Savage Iron Works on yesterday or to-
day. Work has been suspended there for full three
months, and several hundred hands thus thrown
out Of employment will again be employed by the
company in the rolling mill and other departments.
CANAL BREAE.-On Tuesday, the gate at the
waste-wer at the Narrows, on the Canal, about ten
miles below the city, forced out By the water.
The accident will interrupt navigation for four or
five days. The Superintendent is engaged in re-
pairing damages, and expects to have the work
completed by the last of the week.

THE SUNKEN SHIPS AT SEBASTOpOL.

Rauages ofhe Timber Worm-The America. Wreck

The COnstantinople correspondent of the London

No external change is visible beyond Il few small
holes, where the greedy miners sunk their shafts.
The most approved cOntrivances were tried bv the
two rival companies. The vessels were caulked
and made seemingly water-tight but when it came
to pumping out, it found that the timber was
so rotten that the water percolated everywhere
through the galleries made by the teredO. To this
in itself invincibe difficulty must be added the
fact that most of the vessels had sunk from four to
six fathoms into the mud. Even if the ships had
been raised, they would have been of no use As
they could not be raised, it tried to blow them
up, order to clear the harbor which at this mo-
ment is so blocked up that only narrow channel
marked out by buOys is left, through which small
vessels can with difficulty wind their way. The
damage done to the timber is, however, so great,
that not even the attempt to blow the vessels up
succeeded. As much 5000 pounds Of powder

that the weakest point gave way, and the ex-

harbor must thus remain blocked up until by de-
grees the work of the teredo is done and the ship
falls to pieces. According to the account brought
down, eighty vessels were found sunk, which is
much more than ever was known or supposed. The
