Notwithstanding the many efforts that
have been made to remove it the big canal
boat, which st lck Oh rock below the dam
few day ago, an account of which was
given in the INTELIIGENCER at the time,
still fingers in the same old resting place,
AMI it now begins to look as il the boat
will remain where it is until the water
falls Oh until big rise carries it Off. We
have not heard that the boat has been i'll
.jurcd as yet, but it probably will be if it
sticks to its present quarters much lon
ger.
We are informed that the large rock
which was sunk in the raft channel at
Turkey Hill has been removed and that
the channel between here and Port Deposit
is entirely free from any obstruction.
River Pilot Warren Brown, OF Washington
borough, brought the news of the re-
moval of the rock, which has caused SO
many forebodings among river men, md
it was through the same source tina. the
presence of the rock in the channel was
first a >certained. One or two RATS passed
down the river yesterday, but no fleets
have yet arrived. The water is yet high
and in good rafting condition, but the
winds are 4 little stronger than the pilots
care to feel them. We understand that
large number Of RATS arc expected here
within the next day or two.
