LOG AL IT. n i

land Civilian, that during last week, g. boats
left Cum berlsnd for tide-water, carrying s..
440 tons Of coal. The water is still low, aud
boats can only take about two.thirds Of a
load. The rain on Thursday last had little
cffec. in raising tie water. The Washing
ton Star of yesterday afternoon says:--"W e
learn, this morning, a. the Canal uiioe, that
they have q report (unGfEsinlly) from the
break on the nine mile level that the repairs
had been SO far completed as to admit OF the
passage OF boats. None landed with coal or
any klUd of produce have, as yet, come IN
from any pOin, above the break. Tbs tie u
porary difficulty has proved al interruption
30 trade, aud rendered things and matters 10
general about the canal wharves quite gloomy
and lilcless. We hope, however, that the
eir barge has been entirely and thoroughly
raised, aud tha. before the close of the week,
business matter will again begin to wear
their usual encouraging aspect"
