The heavy wagons of Eldridge’s Menagerie and Circus passed over the Long-bridge this morning; so the boys of Washington can begin & save up their twenty-five-cent pieces for the show. Arrived at Galt & Young’s wharf—schr John R. Trice, Capt. Ale, from Philadelphia, with 100 tons of coal for F L. Moore; schr Northumber- land, Capt.

Derry. from Cum- berland, with 119 tons of coal for the gas com- ny. Pave are happy to state that there is no founda- tion for the rumor that the Fifth-dam had been again carried away; a portion of the tow-path on Georgetown level, of about two hundred and fifty yards in extent, however, was washed away; which will, it is thought, put a stop to the busi- ness of the canal for about six days. There is a rumor that 2 Veoh of the tow-path on the Five- mile level at Harper’s Ferry was carried away. The Kate Bruce has been loaded ever since the 15th of last June—this being her first trip down this Summer. Captain Derry reports the crops, along the line of the canal, as looking better than he has known for many years previous. ‘The corn prospect was never better; the wheat fields were not generally damaged by the late hail ae eee some fields were entirely destroyed. ‘The repairs on the Mount Vernon are nearly completed ; Maj. Riley, chief engineer of the line, contemplates having her ready for service on or before the 2ist inst. She is to take the place of the Powhatan on the river.

Alexandria snight be made one of the largest grain markets iu this part of the country, with proper enterprise on the part of the merchants of that town ; the fa- cilities for transporting the crops from the various farming districts of Virginia to that place are as great now as those of any other city in the South Centre Market.—The demand for provisions this morning was not sutlicient to occasion a ma- terial change of prices. ‘The supply was ample, and the quality of the articles offered excellent. ‘The lower market is improving, and purchasers begin toadd it to their market routes. as follows : Prices are c eee al . 4 “gus, per . 1 Roll phter + 2% Phil’a print . 37 Honey, per ‘ 25 5|Cymlings, perdoz Gald Green corn - bk Egg plants Onions, bunch.

The square is situated between Four-and a-half and Sixth, and H and I streets. It is proposed, we understand, by Government, re pes upon the square anarmory for the Flying Artillery, and to use it likewise asa de ground” It is proposed also to take those old buildings, for- merly occupied by Com. Rodgers, fronting on the new Arsenal Ground-purchase as barracks for the Flying Artillery. ‘hould the city build the sea-wall from O street to P street, as proposed by the bill which the lower Board on Monday night, the Govern- ment will, it is supposed, extend the sea-wall along the newly- urchased ground to meet it. The Seventh Warders are now taking measures to have a pavement \sid on the north side of N street south, from Sixth street to New Jersey avenue. On Saturpay next the steamer Maryland, Cay g tain Wm. Mitchell, will start upon a pleasure excursion to Old Point, Portsmouth and Norfolk. We feel a particular pleasure in noticing any en- terprise in which Captain Mitchell is concerned, knowing him to be an excellent officer and a thor- ough gentleman; but aside from this we feel it a duty to commend this pleasure trip to our read- ers as just the thipy to afford them a pleasant and health-promoting relaxation from wearing busi- ness pursuits. ‘The Maryland leaves here at 9 o'clock a. m. on Saturday, and returning, leaves Norfolk ut 4 Pp. m.of Monday.
