SERIOUS AFFRAY.-About $50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon an alteration took place between
two boetmen up the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
which will likely result in the death of enc of the
parties. 1t appears that at the time there was a
great Jam Of boats, the owners Of which were all
anxious to be started upon return trip north
ward. During one ofthe customary alterations
which ordinarily accompany canal enterprises,
eolOred man named Sandy Sorrell, II is said, was
seriously injured by receiving blow on the head
by brickbat thrown by young lrishman named
promptly conveyed to the station house, and Du-
gan was arrested. The wounded man was speedily
attended to through the care Of Lieutenant
Hurley and Sergeant Bull, and doctor was i'm
mediately summoned and restOratiVes admins
tered. The investigation was postponed until to-
day. 1t seems, however, that at the time the &C.
cuTTence took place Dugan, who was la bOrer upon
one OF the Three Sisters, was endeaVoring TO pass
the boat upon which Sorrell was employed. A
the man in the manner described. No anterior
motive is given for the act and it is very probable
that 1t originated from the effects Of liquor.
GRAIN TRADE-Arrived, boat CaledOnian, from
Seneca, Nd, to Thomas Q. Wheeler, with 2,lOO
bushels wheat, so bushels corn, 60 bushels oats,
and 100 barrels flour. Also, 43O bushels corn for
II. NJ. Talbot. We note sales ranging from tl3254
to l.371% and in favor Of the latter, with slight
increase.
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.-The water in
the Alexandria aqueduct was yesterday reduced
considerably in volume, in order to relieve that
structure from the immense pressure that it has
stood so we'll for the last season. If there is any
revival of business before the close Of the season,
it Will be rehlled in short time.
SHIPPING NEws.-Arrived, steamer Z. q.
knight, from New York, with merchandise for
the District. Sailed, steamer Columbia, for Bal
timOre. The near approach of cold weather and
the fear Of being caught in an ice embargo here
has deferred many vessels from entering our har-
Dor, and we may consider that our harbOr will
retain its present appearance until the return of
warm weather.

To the Editor Of the National Republican,:
SIR: The newspaperre reports oEmy remarks at the
stockholders meeting of the Market company
were so much condensed that they do not convey
a correct impression Of what said.
stated distinctly that there were some excel
lent butchers in the Centre market, out that the
average quality of the meat exposed for sale all
over the city was not as good as 1t should be-
think the hucksters, butter dealers, hsh and
game dealers in the Centre market make an I'M
usually fine display, both as to quality and
quantity, and l called attention TO the lnsum-
cheney Of trst-quality meats in order that the
deficiency might be supplied by enterprising
butchers here, instead Of having some Of our
large hotels supplied with beef from Baltimore,
as is now the case.
There has recently been nearly million Of
dollars invested in new market in this city, and
Washington ought TO be supplied with the very
best quality of cOrn-led beef, direct from the
South and West, quite as cheaply as Baltimore,
Philadelphia or New York.
Will the butchers take this matter In hand, anu
thus concentrate the entire trade in the new and
SPACIOUS markets?
AS the Government has appointed an Inspector
of gas think 1t would be well 70 have Gov
CrHm cnt inspector Of market products, whose
duty il should be to compel persons Offering such
products for sale TO display cards designating
frst second and third qualities, as regulated by
the Government inspector, thus preventing i'm
position upon children and servants who often DO
the marketing.
A similar inspection is now required OF -four,
grain and sailed meats and lish in many Of the
States.
Why would it not work we'll here?

THE LECTURE OF PROF. EDWARD :
MORSE.

THE LECTURE OF PROF. EDWARD 5.
MORSE.
There was a good audience at Lincoln Hall last
night to hear Prof Edward S. Morse on the gen.
eral subject of natural history, particularly in
this lecture, embracing important fundamental
truths in the life of the lowest forms Of animal
existence to the highest. Prof. Morse is young
man, but one who has attained to high eminence
as a naturalist, and who has gift Of marvellous
skill and beauty in imparting knowledge. All
who heard his lecture Of last night will widely
advertise the one OF Thursday evening, and II is
cutie safe to predict that the hall will be crowded.
It is quite Impossible to make ANYTHING ike
competent report Of the lecture, for the reason
principally that it is so profoundly illustrated by
blackboard drawings. Whatever the Professor
draws or sketches, from chair to a devilhsh,
the resemblance is perfect, and the drawings are
made so quick and the strength Of his lecture is
so dependent upon them, that 1t is very hard to
separate one from the other. He makes his sub
jCct exceedingly interesting by the constant in
PRODUCTION Of fresh matter, by well-cOnceiyed hu-
nor, and by apt historical reference. For in
stance, in describing the real nature Of the cutie
or GeViI-fsh, he pointed out the fact that Victor
