G. & O. CANAL.-A dispatch from Wea-
vertou, Nd, dated yesterday says:-"Q1lte
q serious break in the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal took place at Shepherdstown, W. Virginia,
this morning, which will impede travel thereon
for several days. The break near this point,
which occurred several days since has just
been repaired. A large force of workmen
have been sent TO Shepherdstown. and the
break will be repaired with all possible speed. "
A telegram dated Sandy Hook, Md, received
in Georgetown, states that smother break has
occurred in the canal on Five Mile Level, about
four miles below the late break at Mercersville.
Ike cause of the last break was the giving
away of stone wall. The division superinten-
dent says the break is a bad one, and as there
arc no materials at hand and it is difficult to
get at it, he thinks it will be some time, week
at least before it can be- repaired sufficiently
for boats to pass These breaks seriously In
terrupt the business OF coal and grain mer-
chants. But eight loaded boats arrived at the
Collectors office in Georgetown yesterday. The
Cumberland News of yesterday says that the
business is improving and boats are arriving and
departing freely. The departures on Saturday
we're thirty-nipe boats, carrying total of
4,27l.O3 tons. The break near Dam No. is
SO far repaired that boats passed that point on
Saturday The break, above referred to, will
interfere for some days with the regular bust
ness Of the canal.
