ALEXANDRIA CANAL &c. The Georgetown
letter Of the Washington Star says - The les
sees of the Alexandria Canal, P. Quigley & Co.,
have begun the work of digging, out the Garth
which has accumulated in the bed of the canal
since it was closed about five years ago, prepar
atory to. an early resumption of trade with Al
exandria. The lessees, Quigley, Wells rand
DUNCAN, have obtained from the company a
lease of SO years at the rate Of $1,000 per an
mum, and they expect it to be remuneratiye
Investment The Aqueduct remains nsthe
possession Of the Government and the company
cannot obtain it until the Long Bridge has been
completed, and it is not certain that they will
obtain possession even then There is conside-
rable opposition here to the use of the Aque-
duct for any purpose other than common
highway; and this with the Governments own
necessity for such a connection with the south
side Qualifications, may operate against the sur
render OF the Aqueduct to the company. -
. Georgetown is doing her best to prevent the
use of the Canal, which will so benefit Aexan-
dcio, and every obstacle to- the re-possession Of
the Aqueduct will be thrown:in the way Of the
lessees, but, we hope, without effect. The
Aqueduct is not government necessity. r..
THE A. L. & II. r. R.-We are pleased to
be able to announce thatathe bridge structure
for Broad Run, on the line of the Alexandria,
Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad, is nearly
completed, and that the road will be in running
order to Farmwell in three or four weeks As
soon as this point is reached, the Company will
use every exertion to push forward the work to
Goose Greek and then on to Leesburg, which
point it is earnestly hoped will soon be again in
direct railroad communication with Alexandria.
The officers of the road deserve great credit for
their untiring cxertions in rebuilding this i'm
