PASSED TERoUGH SAPRLY.-A two o.hun-
dred ton vessel passed through the-northern
draws OF the railroad and long bridges this
morning, for Georgetown. taking the old chan
mel ecTosS the fats, and thence direct TO that
place The experiment was q successful one,
very much 10 the Crprise OF a great many per.
sons. who believed the attempt utterly i'm.
practicable, rs communication through this
passage had been suspended over twenty
years since. The impression has prevailed for
nurnDsr of years past that the water near
the northern shore and west of the long bridge
mas become more shallow every year. and
therefore this route has been abandoned, and
tie solpplng has made the circuit around the
southern shore. Now, however, il has been
ascertained that the reverse is the fact, and
In stead OF there being decrease OF water it
mas increased in depth-or, rather, a more
perfect channel has formed. This is an i'm.
portant discovery for our commerce, inasmuch
as vessels discharging cargoes at the w ash
lngton Wharves can cut off between four aud
hve miles TO Georgetown by avoiding the ne.
eessitv OF taking the southern channel Steps
VIII be soon taken TO resurvey the water
grounds.
