Twe Nortuern Drawer—Application has been made to the Commissioner of Public Build ings to cause the northern drawer of the Long Bridge to be opened for passing long boats that Tay be unladen, ax well as for those laden, as under the existing regulation. We hear that be has declined acceding to it, insomuch as it gives much less trouble to the boatmens to lower their masts when na& laden, than to the travel over the bridge to halt for from five miautes to half an hour in order to save the former the trouble of lowering their masts wher unladen. ‘Twelve years ago it wax attempted to carry out what the boatmen recently petitioned for, ax explained above, and the attempt resulted even then, with jess than balf the ex vel over the bridge, in interminable em This decision of the Commissioner is therefore a very proper one.

Tue Uxton Prayer Meetines are held with coutinued interest. During last week the daily afternoon gatherings which were held at (Dr. Gurley’s) F street Presbyterian church were well attended, and titable to all concerned. Al- though the daily meetings whieb have been held in this city for the last xeven weeks have not yet been marked by any excitement such as has cbar- acterized similar meetings elsewhere, yet acon- siderable number of conversions of a genuine character have taken place. Atthe meeting held at the F street church on Saturday afternoon last the Rev. Dr Zell and others taking a lead part, in the exercises, it was unanimously ay:eed that the daily prayer meetings should continue to be held, and announcements made for the pres- ent week. ‘The afternoon meetings are to be held at the Methodist Protestant church, Ninth street; the 12 o'clock meetings will continue at the Rev Dr. derland’s Presbyterian church, Four-and- a-half street, as also the discoursive daily exer- cises at the Lutheran chureb, corner of Eleventh and H streets Various arrangements were also made for devotional execcises in the engine houses of the several tire companies.

(Seventh Ward) very interesting union prayer ineetings have been in progress for the past four weeks, they will be continued each evening (at fifteen minutes before s o'clock) of the present week at the Sixth Presbyterian (Rev.

Since our letter of Saturday, the weather has been extremely cool forthe season. Yi morning we were visited by a light fall of snow, and this morning ice formed in many places.

Ourextensive flouring mills are all in operation, except that of Mr. Charles Wilson, which has been stopped for the purpose of making some extensive repairs and improve- ments; among them is a new and improved wa- ter wheel, upon a larger scale than the one here- tofore in use.
