TUE Coal CARRYING QUESTION. The
Cumberland News, 10 referring to statement
made ia regard to the difference Of the cost OF
transporting coal by canal and by railroad,
says:
''If the boatmen have agreed, as stated, to
carry this year for 81 rs per ton, the fact has
net traDspired The truth is, the Boatmeu' 8
Union recently made a demand for the old or
opening rates of last year. This question is,
therefore, one to be settled when the trade
opens We have heard of no reduction at the
wharves,here other thac at the one lately ac-
CURED by the canal, company nor have the
boatmen or The middle men reduced although
we did hear of one of the latter Offering, 10
view of the bard times, to take ten dollars less
on trippage, but getting the same price for his
boat by more trippages
1.-The committee appointed at the meeting
90 Friday last is, We understand, preparing
some figures to be submitted to the canal
board, proposing to demonstrate that further
reduction is necessary and practicable Mr..
Hoffman, the chairman of the committee, has
communicated with the canal board, and re-
quested an interview on or before Tuesday. In
the meantime shipments have not commenced,
although the trade should be fairly on.
1--WE trust the committee will be able to do
something with the canal board, although We
have but faint hope"

RICHMOND, March 29-There are now 600

employed outside Of the institution. OF those
inside at least 800 are idlers. At this rate it

1000. 1t will therefore become serious ques-

on other public improvements are resumed.
