Every exertion to get supply of Coals along Canal but will require little time before business regular owing to vessels being frozen in various situations & the consequent necessity of sending forward those usually employed to this place only. And present week is neap tides so none can arrive from Bullo Pill.
May satisfy Committee to know T&S Canal was opened many days before most other canals, and in some instances before they had commenced breaking the ice.
