THE CANAL-Water was let into the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal about eight o'clock on
Monday night, and in a short time the boats
began to arrive at Georgetown. It's expected
that the business upon the canal, the remainder
of the season will be unusually brisk. Iester-
day morning, when full supply of water was
in the Georgetown Division, the feeder gate to
the Alexandria Canal was overhowed, and the
water rushed in and partially filled the bed Of
the Aqueduct, because, in order to give geater
depth of water on the Georgetown level Su
perintendcnt Cameron raised the bank of the
feeder at the Little Falls, and placed strips
upon the tumbling race so as to increase the
depth on the Georgetown, level four inches
more than ever before The feeder gate at
the aqueduct was constructed to conform to the
former depth, and when the increased water
was let on, it was, of course, overflowed, but
the purely accidental test thus applied was in
tirey satisfactory to the lessees, and the water
will be permanently let in the Canal, and navi
CATION opened on that important artery of our
citys trade on or about the fifth of November.

Regulars at Suspension Bridge.

BUFFALO, June 2 A. M.-Have just received

tant news in reference to the Fenian movement
Now asceTtalned that Fenian invading force relIn-
gushing by reason OF a blockade put during night.

interior by stealth doing what damage they can to

city of raiders instead OF a fighting army
The routes to be pursued of course kept secret,
II the regular British troops new on the move be
evaded, euniOn of the Fenan forces at some stra.
geuc point will be strVen for If not, and If ad
peoted from this side is not speedily rendered. the
only course left open must be general scattering
and retreat, without supplies forced to exist the
country they traverse, and unable to oppose the

INFORMATION FROM HEADQUA RTERs IN NEW YORK.
1t stated at the FenIan headquarters (Roberts),
that the commander OF the expedition against
Canada, just undertaken, is Colonel ONeL of ash
vile, tennessee HIS command appears to have
crossed the line in detachments, part IN one place
and part in part in another principally, however,
from Black Rock. They are well supplied with am
munlIon and war material for the first operations;
and expect to make a series of military demonstra
tons in very short time. The next point of attack
Is tor obvious reasons withheld from the public.
The Fenian "clrcIes" ramlty through all the pro.
vinces, and understood TO be acting in concert
with their brethren from the American side. FMS,
it sup osed, will tend to overthrow the confidence
vaders by the aid of the militia As for regular
troops there are but thousand of them, of whom
q large proportion in full sympathy and fellow
ship with the Fenans. There is, therefore, reason
according to the Official authorities here, to antici
pate early upnsing of the Canadian population,
and fTaernZIng the British soldiers with the
people, as in the DAYS of the barricades IN Paris
1t is also Claimed that not only the IRISH lnnab-
tants of the provinces but the French Canadians,
are connected with this conspiracy ana w1l at the
proper time, add their cooperation. 1t Is possible,
therefore that this patton OF Fort Erie is but
an attempt TO direct attention while blow more
decisive will be struck at q more vital point of
British empire IN North America In that event
we may expect to see the lower St Lawrence re.
spending at early day the call the Fenians.
TheIpopulatOn OF the provinces but little ex.
ceeds that OF the United States at the time OF the
REVOLUTION; and the party that desire the overthrow
OF the British ru is about the same as the number
OF Wigs and "Sons OIL Liberty" in 1775. The
ORGANIZATION is more perfect, the means of supply
are abundant and there are military officers to take
command who have Ilearned war practically on the
field of battle IN the Southern States.
The headquarters IN this city are in close cOmmu-
ncation with the seat OF war; but there few per-
sons TO be seen. Hardly military man is visible,
and there is good reason TO believe that the official
persons OF the brotherhood" who are directing ope-
ratons at some other point But it Is understood
that further movements will be made speedily, and
confidence is expressed that many of our recently
disbanded soldiers will unite with tue invading
1orce. II these expectations prove to be well
founded, the movement is form .dable one.-N.

seen making their way across Main street, siDglv
and in of tvo or three but all seemed to be
without any definite aim, though 1t was noticed that
they asked ques as to localities and appeared
TO know as much about the city as the natives.
AT THE DEPOT.
During Tuesday night various dispatches were
received IN the CITY, warning the authorities OF the
approach of the party. The Mayor of Cleveland
&c egraphed TO Mayor Wells, and the Pollce Com
misHoners and United States Marshal also resolved
information of the departure OF the army. The
note OF preparation was immediately heard at head
quarters, and ears beng entertained that disturb
aDces might arise from the presence of so large a
body of men IN our midst without restraint, the
Commissioners and the chief of Police remained
on duty all night and present at the depot on
the arrival Of the train, but no Fenians were to be
seen.
PRECAUTIONS
"Telegrams were immediately sent by Mayor
Wells ana the Police Commissioners to the Mayors
OF oronto and Hamilton, giving all the information
that could be obtained.
Major Dunn, now stationed at Fort Porter, was
also informed of the facts. lac force at the fort

forthwith. At1'30 Z. M an alarm occurred, andtne
Fenlan troops sprang into line in expectation of an
engagement The cavalry piczets riding in from
the front DrOught reports more aud more exciting.
Shouts were heard in the distance and a wounded
man, shot, as II was afterwards ascertained, for a
horse thIet furnished the sight OF blood to teed the
warike enthusiasm. From either flank the Feman
c lumns, by platoon, started at the doublequick
" . direction of the supposed redcoats. The road
Waterloo, was thronged with stray Fenans moving
to the front; Fenians mounted two deep upon
horses; FenlaDs in lumber-wagons carrying boxes
OF ammunition; Fen'ans on foot, whiskiug baYO-
nets about their heads, franticay leaping mud
puddles, and shouting "COme on" ran the mscel-
laneous race. The river, meanwhile, was crowded
with tugs and small boats carrying lookers-on; the
building, along the American shore Uttered with
spectators. Crowds in buggies, carriages and cars
strained eyes TO see and to hear; Canadians in
Waterloo and in the little houses along the road and
knees at their doors and gates, uncertain what
might come Of 1t. A fight was still expected. Dur
ing the entire day no effort was made to prevent
communication between the two shores. Tugs and
tkifs constantly piled to and fro carrying Fenians
and spectators and in some instances supplies.
Thr United States steamer Mchigdnlsteamed down
TO Black Rock early in the forenoon and lay In full
view of all these proceedings The Canadians,
meanwhile, were helpless and passive. and crowds
OF spectators have lined the American shore through
Ou the day, and the excitement in the city was on

way. Three Fenian soldiers have been shot by their
officers for bad conduct and disooedience of orders
