NATIONAL TURNPIKE.
YORK, penn September 3.-On the 5tb III
slant, line OF mail stages arrived for the first
time at Brownsville in Fayette county, Pa.
from the city of Washing ton, OH their way 10
Wheeling in Virginia. The lire will now run
regularly three times week, from the cities
OF Baltimore and Washington. The Washing
ton and Baltimore lines of stages will meet al
HagerstOwB. There is soothing wanting now,
but good road from the borough of York
through Gettysburg to Hagerstown, to con.
meet Il line OF stages with the Philadelphia
line. Hagerstown would in that event, be-
come the great point of cOncentr alton where
stage lines would converge from the four cities
of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Washington. The distance from Baltimore To
Wheeling is about 270 miles.-The stages run
" IN hve days. There IL now established from

lucky. These facts will, we presume, suggest
some inducements TO the managers of the Get
tySburgh Turnpike to commence and prose
cute the making Of the road. as speedily rs
possible. When the road to Gettysburg is once
completed, the chasm to be filled, from hence
to the great point of concentration, will be so
incons'derable, only Is or 20 miles, that we
may confidently calculate on its being filed

The Tinny Fish-no Sea !Ss,pent.
On Thursday last, the party who have
been cruizing for some weeks past, in
search Of ilie great Sea Serpent, which is
well ascerlaincd to have again visited The
waters in the neighborhood OF Cape Ann,
succeeded IN capturing large, and in
our seas rare animal, which on ex-
animation is founi TO be the Tunny fish,
of the Mackerel genus, measurngin length
about and in circumference about 8
feet. On the first news of this capture,
the public mind was considerably inflat-
ed, and as is usual on such occurrences,
the report of his size, character and spe-
cles were as numerous as the finny tribe,
and as eXtravagant as imagination could
formthem but the delusion soon passed
away and we have yet to look forward,
with pretty confident expectation, that
the Sea Serpent, which has been so often
deserted, and his length and protuberan-
ccs SO distinctly traced, will yet be caught

petition will he sent in chase of him, and
that he was again seen OH Friday after
noon, by some pleasure boats between
Fawn bar and NaIiant, exhibiting similar
marks, al first Of an undulaiory motion,
and then darling through the water with
