NEGLECT SoMRwHKRR.-The water in the
Georgetown division was very low this morn
ing the mills are stopped the boats
standing about idle, with plenty Of work to do.
The result was that there was more hard
swearing near the Collectors office this morn
ing than has been heard in that vicinity for
years past.
. The Borden 60. has sent force of hands to
the feeders above town to try to increase the
supply. This lowness OF water is very dis
advantageous to the mills and docks.
THE FAIRBANKS ALL RIGHT.-The steamer
Fairbanks, about the safety OF which some
uneasiness was manifested, arrived safely at
her wharf yesterday. She was due last Thurs
day, and the reason OF her delay was the fact
that she met with very heavy weather, and
went into the breakwater, mouth OF Delaware
weather being thick, fears were entertained
that her coal would not last to the Oapes, and
she went into the breakwater again, for coal.
A number Of large vessels also went into the
breakwater for safety at the same time. No
fears for her safety have been entertained by
the agents at any time. The only uneasiness
felt was by those who had goods aboard, and
did not understand the reason of her being
behind time. .-
