Marine Notes.
A schooner, the name of which could
not be learned went ashore on the south
end Of Prudence Island yesterday. Sue
hoated at high tide. She was Louud out.
The Providence dredge Newport will
be placed in the Seekonk river in
the vicinity OF Gano street. The end OF
this street has been used as dumping
ground, aud the rubbish has pushed the
clay into the channel. IL is thought tnat
the dredging will bo done in about four
weeks, and when completed will be a
great improvement to that portion OF the
harbor.
The steamer Fairfax OF the Merchants
and Miners line, which plea betwe cen
Baltimore and Boston, arrived at her
d. cS in Boston yesterday, when trouble

The stevedores sent from this city

blown into the channel much
faster than the dredge can take u out.
