THB OaNAL —Mr. Sey monr, the Government engiprer of the aqueduct, ta his reply to the Teselution of ‘he City Oouncils asking hisopin- jon as tothe most feasible plan for cleaniog and improving the Washington canal, says: In my opinion there are tro indispensable elements Leceesary to the successfal work: ¢ of any plan tor cleansing the canal that may be adopted, First. That the water should never be allowed to flow in but one direction through the canal, or any portien of ir, that may be ret apart exclusively for sewerage par- poses. Second. Thatasnfficient body of water, with an adequate head, chonid at all times be atccmmsénd jor the purpose of flushing or swachipg ont the sewer during periods of low tides in the Potomac. From the month of the canal near the foot ot 15th street west tothe bend between 6th and 7th streets west, the canal is straight, and is about 150 feet in width. From that poitto the intersection with 3d street west. and also with Tibercr ek, itis noteo wide, and there are two changes in direction of ninety degrees eacb, as shown on the map. The original bortom of the canal through ite entire Jeng'h is supposed to be below the level of the lowest water in the Potomac river. The rise and fall of tides in the Potomac are assumed to be about four feet. . By walling in such width of the canal, say twenty-five or thirty feet, as may be necessary for the discharge of the sewerage and drainage cf the city tributary to this pertion ot the canal, including the waters of Tiber creek; and con- structing @ tight dam at the upper or easterly end; and one or more flood-gates, opening out- wardly at the westerly end, near the entrance into the river, we would certainly prevent the influx of the Potomac during high water, and consequently the flow of any water through the sewer in an easterly direction, while at the same time it would be allowed ty flow freely in the opposite direction, wh-never the interval exceeded the external pressure upon the fiood-gates at the lower or westerly end, thus complying with the first essential Tequisition above referred to. By eonsiructing a lift-lock and dam across the lower or westerly end of the remaining Portion of the canal, and inserting therein flood-gates opening inwardly from the Poto- mac, thie portion will :ecome filled with Po- tomac water to the level ot high tide, which will be held there when the tide recedes, by means of the self-regulating process of the flocd-gates, by which they open and close in Tespouee to the preponderance of pressure on cither side By this means we obtain a large supply of water jor flushing purposes, to which will be adced the natural tlow trom Tiber creek, and, if becesssry. any amonni that may be required jrom the Washington Agueduct. 1tis proposed to discharge this water into the upper or easterly end of the sewer, at times of low water in the Potomac, by means of valve ga‘es ineerted either in the drawer or dividing-wall, or bo'h, and thus ander a head cf four feet to cleanse the sewer whenever cir- cumstances may render itnecessary, thus com- Ppiying with the second essential requisition al ove referred to. 1 have no eoubt that the same theory can be successfully applied tothe entire canalin a much moresimple form, in case itis deemed cesirable to preserve 1's present dimensions for commercial or other purposes. Assumirg that the bottom is such asto allow the water to flow freely at ail stages through the entire canal, between the main aud eastern branches of the Potomac river, as originally designed, there should be constructed a lock, - with a lift equal to the rise and fall ot the tide, at each end of the canal, so as to allow the in- grees and egress of vessels. In or near one of theze locks should be in- serted flood-gates, opening inwardiy from the Poromac, so as to fill tue canal to the level of high water; and at the other end of the canal either flood-gates or valve-gates should be so a: ranged in the locks as to discharge the water frcm the canal into the river at low tides, as often as necessary, for the purpose of purifi- cation. In this way the currentof the water passing through the canal would always be in the same direction: and, if necessary, the entire ca: al could be flushed out at every low tide. Whenever this was not neceseary, it could be krpt full of pure Potomac wat r to the level of bigh tide, which would add greatly to its healthtulness as well 2s usefulness. Referring again to tue proposed plan of im- proving that portion of the canal between 3d and 14th streets west, which is by far the most desirable reShit to be accomplished at tie present time, I would say that there appears to be no objection to reducing the width in the maprer proposed by the bill introduced in Common Council February 1, -861, provided the proposed reduced width will afford sutfi- cien! room for commercin! purposes, and storage capacity for the purpose of lushing out the sewer whep necessary. In that event, the por- tion set apart for a sewer should be so located tbat the southern wall of the sewer wonld form the northern boundary of thé canal when re- duced in width. The sewer should also be arched over, and the present northern boundary filled in with the material excavated trom the bottom of the canal. ‘The city woutd thus reclaim a width ot from seventy-five to one bandred feet along the entire length of this portion of the canal, which being located as it ie, im the hear: of the city, could certainly be rented for an amount sufficient to make the im provement, and also to create a sinking fand tbat would in a short time repay the principal. The other corsiderations that should urge forward this improvement in the shortest pos- sible time are too apparent to every one to re- juire a reference here. The came considerations should, in my opin- ion, apply with equal force in favor of arching over the channel of Tiber creek, from its junc- jon with the canal, at least as high up as New Jersey avenue, and if this matter should be undertaken in good faith by the city, there can benodoubt that the general Government would immediately arch over that portion of the creek which runs through the public grounds between the canal and Pennsylvania avenues. Before any portion of these improvements 1s commenced, however, I would advise that caretul and comp ehensive surveys, plans, and estimates be made of the whole question of sewerage and drainage of the city, upon the re- sults of which would depend, not only the probable cost of the works embraced in this particular lsproverseait, but the requisite di- wensions and capacity of the main artery to be tormed by a portion of the canal, and the sizes of the different lateral sewers and veins that would intersect and be tibutary to it; and for which it will be to provide aper- turea.and flood-gates in the nerthern wall of the main sewer. It is very manifest that the present'system of drainage and sewerage for the city is much too limited in its capacity to supply the present de- Mands upon 15 and that it should be greatly enlarged in view of the fact that from twenty-five to fifty mfllions Potomac water will be. into it daily from the Washington aquedtct. : These considerations should induce theadop- tion ofa general plan of proper Bippertions wo commence with, and the adherence to it in any Of portion of the work that trom time to time be undertaken and completed.

Ton¢eous}y state is Out East Capiel strees (it teing on New Jersey avenue south,) as being smuccled through the House, &c. And you say & £0 that the “Society consists of a singie ts. ~cividval by the name of Northrap.” «The Guardian Society” of which you speak, is a socie'y incorporated by ano act of Coilgress, The members of it whom I can now cail to mind, tcr I haye no record torefer te, are Amos Kendal!, John M. Brodhead, Z. C. Robbins, 8. B French, J. B. Northrup, Deacon Hea:h, Judge Carter, and Judge Olin. A regular meeting held under the ohar- tr, and officers of the society elected; but it havirg a very limited amount of fands, bus little bas been done. Congress was petitioned three or four yeare ; ago for a grant of land, and a bill passed the Senate during the last Congress making {t, aud was only lost in the House for want of time. The petition was again presented to the Honse early in this session. It was referred to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, and a number of the members of the society, among them Judge Cariter, Mr. French, Nea- ecn Heath and Mr. Northrop, went before that ‘ committee and urged the passage of a bill. ‘The ccmimittee took the trouble to go and ex- amine the land asked for, and they formed the bill as they thought would he best for all con- . cerned, making it imperative upon the society to expend a large sum of money within three ® years from the passage of the bill in erecting buildings, &c., otherwise the grant was to be void. The commi'tee had the bill a long ttme under consideration, and matured it after much consultation. It was reported to the Housecn the 1th of February by Hon. Mr. Rice, of Me., the most respectable and worthy chairman of the committee, and was ordered tobe printed. It was printed and was eight F weeks before the House without a single ob- jection being made toit. On the 20th of April it was considered and passed. Jt was no more smuggled through the house than any other bill regularly passed, bat had all possible noto- riety given to it. The object of the bill is an excellent one, and of much importance to our city; and shonid i become a law, and its provisions carried into effect. great good will result to a class of per- sons now running loose upon the community with no means of support, Respectfully yours, B.

All the precincts were represented. The reeeting was called to order by Roundsman Eckloff, of the Fourth ward. Officer Lipscomb reported that the committee appointed at a previous meeung had had an ry interview with the House Committee on Dis- r trict of Columbia affairs, and tat the interview was & very ‘aistactory one. as Mr. Steele favored the request of the police and thougnt they should bave an increase. Mr Steele gnd the majority ef the committee expressei them- slves pleased with the manner in which the p. lice bad gone to workin the matt r, and with tae resolutions adopted by them. and stated . that 875 (‘he amount asked) was little enaneh, aod the police deserved it.. All of the com. m tte were in favor of increasipg the pay, aid gave every assurance that they woula work t0 thst end, It was stated that the Capitol police received $1,300 per apnum and wereon duty . scarcely more than three days«utof -ix, and the ccmmittee could not see why the Oor pora- ton police shotiid not also rcéeive ade uate : compensation. Uther cflicers expressed themselves satisfied with the interview, and Mr. Pendle said he bad no doubt the increased pay asked would be granted. He had heard that the Diirict » Committee favored a fifty per cent. increase, » and he believed the Committee of Ways ana 4 Means of the Council was in favor of the Gor- poration doing the same thing. After remarks by other gentlemen, the com. mirtee, consisting of Mesers. Grant, Lipseamt Noonan, Cronin, Pierce, Uiark, Hepbarn, Sei. bold, and Sergt. Barker, (who was added jae: night.) were, on motion of Sergt. Uronin, di- “ rected to confer with the Board of Metropolitan e Police with regard to this matter. .

Davy & Harmon, on » vhe corner of Prince and Royal streets, last night, but did not succeed in making a very valuable haul. The burglar entered the fead room through the second story window on Prince street, and gained access to the store by removing the upper partot the brick wallover the door leading into the same. Something must have alarmed him exceedingly. as be ieit so hurriedly as to forget bis coat and hat and a fine pipe. be Some one also gained access to Mr. Audrew 2 Jamieson’s steam bakery last night, but did not succeed yi making a very profitable invest- ° ment. A few crackers were taken anda few destroyed and scattered around the room. t An attempt was also made to gain access to Mr. Janney’s SroCeNy, store, On the northeast corner of Prince and Royal streets, but the at- tempt proved unsuccessful. We should think that afew or policemen were badly needed in the city. An order has recently been issued, taking effect from the Ist_instant, requiring all civil- ians traveling on Military Railroads to pay fare at the rate of five cents per mile. If pas- senger cars are furnished, instead of the untidy uncomfortable box cars, the result wont i doubtless be a. snug revenue to the Govern. - ment.
