The report Of the Engineers on this subject, laid
before Congress on Monday last, by the Postmaster
General comprises the examination Of eight differ
en' routes, which are all denes'ed on map, ac-
companying the report, and passing respectively, BY
the following places
| First Route-Baltimore, Abingdon, Bush, Hall Cross
Road Havre de ferry, North East Elkon Newark
Stanton Newport. Wilmington, Practical Farmer Marcus
Hook, Chester. Darby, Hamionville, Philadelphia.
Second Observation-Disclosures, Abingdon, Bush, Rock Ran,

Chester, Darby, Hamilonville, Phisdslphia.

Eighth Route-Baltimore. Great Gunpowder upper
bridge, Copper Factory. Belle Air, Dublin, Conewingo
Bridge, New London Cross Roads, Chad's Ford Hamilton
vile. Philadelphia.
From comparison OF the several routes, il has
been determined that the first would be the short.
est and would admit OF the easiest graduation; but
that the second, TO expense, has the advantage
and that in combining together distances graduation
and expense, the second route has claims to prefer
ence. In this opinion OF the Engineers the Post-
master General has expressed his concurrence.--
The length Of the second route is found TO be nine
iyseven miles and sixty six yards; and the expense
Of constructing il is estimated at one hundred and
twenty six thousand eight hundred and thirty nine
dollars.
1t i, not expected, we believe, that the subject
will be acted upon by the present Congress- Intel.

Physicians. There is no class or profession Of
men who appear 10 the world to have so little res
pee, or courtesy towards each other as physicians.
They seem often to regard each other as rivals to
be vanqushed, rather than associates in high and
liberal art. We think it therefore to the credit of
the physicians of Boston, that they have agreed to
have "medicai conversazione," regularly once a
month, the object of which is to cultivate feelings Of
friendship among the profession, TO communicate q.
ny important facts which may have come to the
knowledge OF any one Of them, and generally to pro-
mote the extension of medical knowledge.
