break in the canal occurred on Sunday night at
about ten O'Clock at place known by boatmen
as kilensburgh, about half mile below Sharps-
burg landing. The extent of the breach is es-

washed some seven feet below the bed. About
ninety-five boats passed from the blockade and
succeeded in getting over the level upon which
the break occurred. A letter from Mercersyille
Md, states thatit will probably require ten DAYS
active work TO repair the damage, so as to pass
ladened boats. Forty-seveu boats, most of them
loaded with coal, which were below Four mile
Level when the break occurred at that point,
have arrived here since yesterday. Vim. r. Hut
ton, Esq, engineer of the canal, left last night
for the scene Of the break to superintend its re-
pair.
