Now ves- esls carrying 6.500 tons, and capable of diseharging over 500 tons of oil per hour, pass through the canal regularly. The impediments placed in the way of it's discharge have been done away with, as experience has shown that there is no real danger. Several ad. vantages are claimed for the use of this body as a fuel to replace coal, tEe chief being the convenience of storage. the reduction of labor in storing and rapidity of discharge.
