INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.

In whatever direction we turn our eyes,we
see an active spirit OF Improvement al work
which bids fair 10 convert every stream in the
Union where il is practicable, or where there
are sufficient inducements, INTO Canals, and
TO make all onrroads Iurnpikes. The general
government has appropriated large sums OF
money in tnrtherance OF several extensive aud
important works-and the Sta,es, lihe large
ones more especially,) have turned their at-
tention to the subject, and now there is scarce
~ a state la the Union which is not prosecu-
ting some extensive scheme of improvement.
This spirit so happily diitused throughout the
country, it is not too much 10 say, owes, if
not its birth, at least its extent, To the exer-
tons OF single individual Had not Dewitt

A ROGUE CAUGHT

In January last we published an &C
count of the detection Of an imposition
practised by an Irishman named Thorn
as Herman, who had for some time
carried on a distillery at New Bruins
wick, from which place he eloped, al
ter defrauding the inhabitants of about
$4,000. 1t will be recollected that he
sailed from this port in the Cortes for
Liverpool, under the assumed name Of
Whalen, and in order to divert public
attention from the route he had taken,
he forged letter signed John Malla-
gan, and sent it to this paper, and we
published it; in which he stated that
Thomas Herman, (himself,) had been
drowned few nights preceding, in
crossing in boat from this city TO
Brooklyn.
We now learn, by letter received
here from Leitrim county, Ireland, that
Herman had arrived there, and that in
consequence of what we stated respect
ing him, he had been apprehended and
committed to prison, where he would
remain until affidavits were received
from this country by which he could be
incenti6ed, and the fraudulent transac-
tons in which he had been engaged, es.
tablished against him.

Bied, at his residence in London, on the
18th April last, in the 18th year of his age,
Mr.. WILLIAM MURDOCH, distinguished
American merchant of that city. Mr.. MUIR
doch was native of Prince Georges County,
Maryland, and was regularly bred to merchan-
die by Mr. Stephenson, of Bladensburg; then
place of considerable trade. At an early
period of life, he embarked in business with
no othe; capital than personal worth and the
patronage of an elder brother, and by spirit
of enterprise, regulated by prudence and a
high sense ofhonor, acquired the esteem, and
attracted the confidence of the American PLAN
tiers and merchants. Mr.. Murdoch arrived at
manhood during the revolutionary scenes
which severed our country from the dominion
of England, and testified his attachment to the
land Of his nativity, by the service of cam.
paign in Pennsylvania. At the close of the
war he established himself in London in the
tobacco business, which, under his manage
ment, conduced eminently to the advantage
and accommodation of his fellow citizens in
Maryland. Although the prime and decline
of his days have been in foreign country, he
always cherished the warmest affection for A.
merica, as his home, and held his citizenship
here boon too dear to surrender for the pri-
vileges of subject of the crown A letter
from London thus announces his death-'it
has pleased God to remove from US a dear
friend, whose house wasever open to receive
his countrymen & other acquaintances; whose
kindness of heart and generous disposition
will long be remembered by numerous cir
Gle of friends, who will never cease to lament
the deep loss they have sustained.
