The Collector of Customs of Chicago has asked the Treas* ury Department by what right Supervising Steamboat l'u» spector Cook ordered the removal of the tug I) L Babcock from Chicago to Milwaukee, a port nearly one hundred miles distant by lake, after she had been condemned by the local inspector as unsa-re in the hull and boilers.

The steamboat interest have urged Messrs. Warren and Moore, local inspectors, to bring the case before the Steamboat Board at Washington for full investigation.

The following is a sample from this evening's Buffalo "News":—"Our Canadian neighbours' not. content with expending twenty millions of dollars to enlarge their canals, now contemplate the removal of tolls, so as to divert some of the trade which belongs to this State, and the only way we can checkmate them is by making our canals free."
