caused by the sinking of two boats near the
Point of Rocks, aud a break ip the nine mile
level, having been removed, boats from Cum
berland, loaded with coal, commenced to arrive
here last night, and to-day the arrivals have
been numerous. A large fleet of boats had
collected above the point Of the late obstruction,
the advance guard Of which have only as yet
reported-the rest are on their way here, and for
a day or two the lock keepers will be kept unusu-
ally busy. Operations at the different coal depots

again interrupted until its suspension on &C.

master OF vessel is not required to take a
Virginia pilot when the tug boat towing him
has license under the laws Of the United
States-Congress having legislated on the sub
ject, State laws are void and of no effect. In
the discussion Of this case, Messrs Stuart and
Smoot appeared for the Commonwealth, and
Messrs. Brent and Wattles and Chapman for
the defence, .+a..

THAT PIPE AaAIN.-The drain-pipe leading
from the turn table of the W., A. & 6. L. r.,
mention of the choking of which was made
some time ago, was dug up last week, and g
new one put down, much to the regret Of the
residents on Queen street, who are opposed to
the pipe anyway, and who are particularly an
noyed at the condition in which the street is
left, as all that part of it on the south side next
the gutter is simply mud-hole.

LEAD PpEs.-As if it were their especial duty

LEAD PIPES. AS if it were their especial duty
omong others to keep the public mind heath
fn1lv uneasy, English savants have Of late re-
ootated the lead pipe question, and discussed its
,nosonous bearings. They demolish the theory
which has quietly obtained for long time,
tbot hard or impure waters do not act on lead
hines. They state they are in possession of no
satisfactory information about the causes Of
tbe various action, under different circumstan-
oos Of waters on lead information, that is,
svIioh is of any practical use in assisting either
in predioating or preventing lead erosion or lead
contamination. They also conclude that contain
nation Of water. both hard and soft, impure and
nure, by lead, is the cause or source OF various
obscure diseases Of man (and also doubtless, or
the lower animals of the nature especially of
dyspepsia and colo, land that so uncertain is the
action of water on lead, 80 impossible is it to
predicate the nature or extent of that action un-
der the varying mechanical and chemical con-
ditions Of water supply of houses and towns
so difficult is it to prevent the possible dangers
50 numerous and excellent are the substitutes
that may be provided for lead in the construc-
tions of cisterns and pipes, that it is desirable
bcnceforth to abolish the use of lead as a ma
terial for the conveyance orstorage OF water
While all this, however, may be true OF such
things oyer the ocean, it lacks demonstration
to proye it 50 with u.s.. On the contrary, as
much dyspepsia exists among people of seden
tary habits in villages where the water is not
exposed to such Influences, and even among
the idle classes OF the country people, as among
those of cities, It is much more probable that
other habits of inhibition are fertile sources Of
disease rather than water-drinking, whichis, in
truth, perhaps, not extensively enough used
to be detrimental, even if it contained really
injurious impurities. Hoy Vol. .o.asai
