MERCHANTS ExCHANGR.-Very dull TODAY
and no offerings. 1t is thought that the Ex-
change will be a dull quarter until the mills
resume operations, now stopped by the search
ty Of water in the canal.
POTOMAC DIVISION, SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
This Division held a meeting last evening, aud
after the transaction of business, the doors were
thrown open to the public, who were enter
tanned with music and songs by the members
of the Division.
THE ToURNAMENT.-The tournament and
PIC mic yesterday at the Georgetown COLLEGE
Villa for the benefit of St. AIMS Church in
Tennallytown was great success The riding
could not be surpassed, and everything passed
on agreeably TO all the participants. Over 500
was received al the gate alone.
THE CANAL.-Within the past day or two
the appearance OF the canal has altogether
changed. Boats are arriving more rapidly
than ever, and the canal for two miles upIs a
perfect jam with boats waiting TO discharge
cargo. The late rains somewhat damaged the
surface Of the dam four miles above George
tow n. and consequently there is great scarcity
OF water in the canal, on account of which all
the mills along the hne have necessarily ceased
operations. The arrivals from the LIST instant
to date number 353.
