plete examination of the different routes contem-
plated for the canal, between the Chesapeake and
Delaware, in a manner highly satisfactory 10 the

HAVANA, May IL, 1928.
"The Sea Gull, Com. Porter, is now at the
Island.
"The Wild Cat and Beagle are employed giving
convoy on each and every Sunday, from Havana ;
after Leaving the fleet they cruIze along the coast
from Matanzas to this place. We arrived ihIs
morning after examing every creek and Haibor be-
tween Matanzasj and this port without discovering
any sign OF Pirates or their vessels. The Coast OF
Cuba is at present entirely clear. The Barges and
Schooners recently captured ielucca, and burnt
several pratical establishments about the Colorados,
which believe has gwen them death blow Yes
sells arrive and sail daily, without experiencing any
interruption. The fear Of piracy has nearly subsl-

since from this port for Africa they were manned
by upwards of Two hundred men, mos OF whom had
recently been engaged in piratica acts, but hndng
it rather hazardous they have embarked In the pre-
sent less dangerous enterprises they are desperat

honest one they will find on the coast warm op-

and has kept his force continually in motion he ha
secured great part of the coast and bays with the
Sea Gull, running her into sin feet water, and some

Right Rev. Bishop Cheverus, of Boston, Of the
Roman Catholic persuasion, visited this city last
week. and preached twice on Sunday, (once in the
Church and once nthe Presbyterian meeting house,
to numerous audiences. His sermons were extern
porary, and heard with great pleasure. His dis
course in the church, was logical aud profound. In
the Presbyterian meeting house his text was, For
II determined not to know any thing among you save
Jesus Christ and him crucihed" In this discourse
he explained with great clearness, some of the pc
cularities of his church but his chief object was
to support the doctrine contained in his text" to
know nothing save Jesus Christ and him cruc6ed''
-" God manifest in the 1esh." His paraphrase Of
the Lords prayer at the close Of the service, was
eloquent and deeply affected the minds Of his hear
lers. 1t is believed that these dscourses OF he Bish
lnp will have great tendency to destroy many oiths
prejudices against the Catholics. For ourselves
wherever we see pure and undecided religion, it ex
cites cur respectful attention. ADVOCATE.

Maiden Lane.-The long row Of buildings in
Maiden Lane, which stood in the way of the pro
iected improvement OF that street, are with single
exception now RACED to the ground, and within two
months we shall probably see in their places a new
and beautiful line of three story brick buildings, cal
cuated for stores and dwelling houses. The excep.
tion spoken of above is the large three story brick
building, belonging TO Messrs G * De Wolfe, &
lately occupied in part as Druggist Store The
building has attracted much attention Tor two days
past, in consequence of the operation OF moving and
aising it entire, at The time, and without In
Jury. This novel undertaking has been so nearly
accomplished, that the house Is now all but liked
upon lis new Foundation, 90 feet IN the rear of its
Original site, and Is or 90 inches higher than it
stood before. The mode of performing this impor
,ant work, was by placing ways under the house
like those used tor the launching OF ships, and ex
tending back, to the proper distance, with suitable
elevation. The building was then forced back BY
screws and " so smooth and gradual was the mo
ton that not the slightest injury was visible, though
we observed glass vessels standing one OF the
mante-pieces and the full adequacy of the force

Die number OF people were in the house, and were

by Mr. Brown, an ingenious mechanic from Mas
sachusetts. Mr. b. is the same person who lower
ed the large building which formerly stood upor

left the house and chimneys standing unlnlured 81
fleet below its former elevation. The building nov
removed, was estimated TO weigh $50 tons, snt
