IN MARINE CIRCLES.

The barge Winnipeg of the M.T. company, which was aground at Baystate shoal, in the St. Lawrence near Alexandria Bay, was released by the steamer Cornwall on Wednesday, and passed on down to Montreal. The Cornwall brought the lightage of wheat here, which she took from the Winnipeg. The grain is undamaged.

Whether the depth of the St. Lawrence River channel can be safely increased without incurring the danger of lessening the water volume, will be investigated by a commission appointed for the purpose by the dominion parliament at its last session, and a report made on the situation in the fall.

Montreal Witness: The Dollard, the new government light ship, arrived in port Tuesday on her maiden trip down the river from the yards of the builders at Kingston. The vessel is intended to replace the C.G.S. Shamrock on the light service between Montreal and Quebec. She is a fine addition to the river service. Her length is 192 feet, and she is filled with every modern device that such a vessel can employ.
