land harbor Saturday, l21a p. NJ, under steam
from her own engine and in in gale of wind and
reached kerr's wharf foot of Bond street at u p
NJ, with all her colors flying. She had no other
assistance than her own machinery to bring her
into port. By the aid of four schooners she was
raised until her rail was on line with the water
her bow was then put ashore, and canvass placed
over the hole made by the collision. On Wednes-
day by the aid of the steam pump she was cleared
OF the water in the hold, and on Friday steam was
got up in the engine to clean and try it, and was
found to require but little repairing, both the en-
glne and boiler being in very good oder. Her
smoke stack is standing with no other injury save
kink The head of the mizzen mast was sprung, and
was found necessary to break it off near the deck
The pilot house is entirely lost. Her cargo remains
In the same situation as at rst it has not been ex-
amined but must be all damaged if not entirely
washed out The only injury to the steamer from
the collision is in the bow from the water level
down, the stem down to the keel being carried away
the upper part OF the bow is uninjured, although
she looks much better than would be supposed after
being so long under water. Capt Bennett, with
James ii. Perry and John Young. Engineers and
seventeen men, commenced operations on the 18th
OF March, but owing to strong winds and bad
weather, they were unable to work constantly
Several times they had raised the steamer so as to
expose the top of her decks but were compelled to
let her down again. The pump used by Capt Ben

of throwing out so barrels of water per minnie
This morning the Baltimore will be brought to the
Frederick street wharf, aud we understand it is the
intention of the agent of the underwriters to have
her repaired Immediately.

THROUGH TO PETERsBuRG.-Our merchants will
observe by reference to the advertisement that the
steamers of the Powhatan Steamboat Company will
hereafter make regular trips between this city and
Petersburg going directly to the wharf at the lat
ter place. Heretofore this has been impossible
ing to the obstructions in the Appomattox river
That river having been deepened, the necessity for
transferring freight from the boats to the railroad
at City Point is obviated land the cost of transporta-
tion between Baltimore and Petersburg very great
ly lessened. This is matter of much Importance
to the mercantile community, and will doubtless be
duly appreciated.
