ITO CONTRACTORS AND OTHERS.

Proposals are invited until April 18th, inst,
for the leasing for atermof years Of the Alex
andrs Canal, including all OF ITS real and other
alexandria, Va, to the city Of Georgetown, d.
Co. on the north bank of the Potomac where it
connects with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The water is from thence conveyed across the
Potomac in q wooden trough and superstruc,,
and then by land into the Potomac at Aiexan-
drs. The following descript ion of the piers OF
the aqueduct is from report by the late NJ. q.
Ewing, esq, Civil Engineer fan abutmentis
built against the Chesapeake: and Ohio Canal at
Georgetown. The Alexandria Canal commenc-
on an aqueduct l69Ofeet long. This aqueduct
was located by surveys made in 1881. Of the
eight piers as now built 4 are in water from 80
to 90 feet deep. and founded Is to 35feel below
the surface. The abutments and piers were all
built in Golfer dams pumped out and dredged by
steam machinery to the solid rock on which
they are erected in cement and trowel work
from foundation. This aborious construction
was the work Of several years, with d large
force engaged night and day except during part
of the winter months The piers are carried 9 up
80 feet above the river surface, and are IRE there
fore in height from IS to 70 feet. They, are
about 70 feet long at base and II to q feet thick
at the water surface They are of granite rock
laid in GENE t: and having stood the floods and
drifts for several years, (l846l are believed to be

The cost of the aqueduct, S575, 3Sl 43, including
about $50, one for the wooden trough and super
structure The other portion of the canal en-
bankments, culverts, locks, wharves, ferry at
Georgetown, &c, cost over $500, 900. The
Alex ndria Canal may be properly, called the
terminus Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
There was transported of coal alone, over the
Alexandria Canal in 1860, about 100000 TONS
and the coal trade has largely increased since,
but owing to the war no coal has come over the
Alexandria Canal, for the reason that the aQue-
duct has been used by the Government as
wagon road from Georgetown to Arlington
Parties contracting viii be required to place and
keep the canal and aqueduct in order and repair,
and to use the canal and aqueduct for the ,pur;;
poses for which it was originally constructed and
no other unless by consent of all the contract
ing parties. For further information, such as
obligations to be assumed, and conditions to be
complied with, address, or apply in person to

MARTINS ALE.-Philadelphi Ale, Baltl-
more Ale, and Scotch Ale, are all very good,
but we contend that Martins Alexandria Ale
is equal, if not superior, to any and all. Mr..
Martin has established an enviable reputation
for his malt liquors, and We are glad to know
that his business is rapidly increasing -and his
brewery, at the upper end Of King street, is
now one of ''the institutions" His Cream
Ale is certainly most delicious beverage,
equal to any, though they may have higher
reputation.

THE ALEXANDRIA CANAL-By the action
of the City Council, last night, it will be seen
that the proposition Of Messrs Quigley, Wells
and DUNCAN to lease the Alexandria Canal for
ninety-nine years at $1,000 per annum has been
accepted,so far as the Corporation is concerned,
and deed prepared, which will doubtless be
satisfactory, for the transfer Of the Canal prop
erty to the above named parties. By the
terms of the deed, the Canal is to be thorough
ly repaired throughout its entire length, and
kept in proper navigable condition, and to be
used for Canal purposes only. Whenever
the tolls, wharfage and dockage, received in
one year shall exceed fifteen per ct. Of the sum
of $500, 1000, in that event, after deducting the
current expenses of the year, the surplus shall
be paid to the Alexandria Canal Company
1t is further agreed that the Canal Company
may at any time during the time of the lease,
repossess the Canal, with all the improvements
&C., by paying to the lessees the sum of $780,
900, and in default of the payment Of rent for
twenty days, or for the breach on the part OF
the lessees, of all or any Of the covenants, then
the company reserve the right to repossess
themselves of the work with all or any i'm
provemcnts that may have been made.
The whole subject will be brought before the
at the meeting Of the Canal Com
pany, on the 18th instant, but it is generally
that the parties named above will
lease the work on the conditions named in the
deed as cited

The JOHNSON MEErING.-T City Coun
Gil, last night, revoked the call for mas:
meeting to endorse the course of President
johnson, on the ground Of inexpediency-and
that it would be calculated to fonent, instead
of allay, political animosities. The men berS
voting for the revocation expressed themselves
warmly in favor of the President and his
course, but contended that the Council, as /;
local legislative body, should not interfere III
political affairs.
