The improvement in business generally in our city, consequent upon the resumption of naviga- tion upon the canal, is everywhere visible. The unloading and reloading of flour. yrain, &c.. gives an abundance of employment to the carts, drays, &c., and the unloading and reloading of coal at the docks, gives steady and profitable employ - ment toa large number of industrious laborers, who would otherwise be idle a large portion of their time, and these together with the crews of the multitede of boats constantly arriving, all of whom having more or less of the ready to dispose of, canses some considerable stir among the gro- cery, dry goods, shoe, and other dealers. nd eur flour and grain merchants bave brightened up considerably, and are beginning to make at least two steps where they have for several months been in the habit of making only one. In short, all the southern portion of G wh once more looks like a business city. All our river and ca- nal wharves this morning look as busy as a bee hive.

Mr. Vanderwer- werken, of the Union Line of omnibuscs, con- tributed no little towards the comforts ‘ ures of the occasion by running his coaches up to the college gates. The two tine buildings recently erected on West street, by Mr. B. Hutchings, for Mr H. Offutt, were topped out on Monday. The occasion was rendered the more interesting by the providing of a supply of retreshments, over which thuse present regaled themselves with a good will. These are two of the finest buildings in that sec- tion of the city, aud in no small degree orna- mental to it. We have rarely, if ever, seen the supply of ve zetables in our market so abundant. 2 prices of many of them, nevertheless, continue pretiy biting. “it seems to be the hardest thing in all nature to get dealers to take anything like a re- trograde step.
