SCARCITY OF VEssELs-We have again to
call the attention of owners and masters. In
other places, to the great scarcity Of vessels
to ship coal from this port which has pre-
vailed for sometime past A great quantity
! of coal has accumulated on the wharves and
in boat, here ready for shipment, and the
canal being in good order, enough coal Is
now and will be here, this season, to supply
/ the greatest demand. In another column OF
the Gazette will be found the current rates of
freight from this port, which it will be seen
will pay well.
| Geurgetown is also almost overrun with
! coal, and coal boats which are unable to dis
charge their cargoes, the coal wharves being
piled with the article, there being but few
vessels 10 take it away.

Seventh street, south side The buildings
were wholly destroyed, the fire being suppo-
sed to have arisen from accidental cOmbus
