1t is stated. that notification has been received
from the Colonial Office in England by Sir Howard
Douglas and Judge Chapman, requiring them TO
hold themselves in readiness to prepare a state
nent for the arbitrator under the 9th article OF
the treaty Of Client. The sovereign State, which
Is to act as umpire, is said not 10 be yet decided
on. Judge Chapman will probably proceed TO

Last week, the Visitors of the University, agree
ably 10 their adjournment in July, held meeting
which Mr. Madison was prevented from attend
ing, by debility consequent on 4 nlisposi-
ton, under which he has suffered since the pre-
vious session. We have CHANGED to see, lately,
several letters from Mr.. NJ atson, written in the
hand oil his lady a circumstance which, as show
ing the extreme Inconvenience that he is put 10 by
every one OF the nunberess letters daily pouring
in upon him, should be generally known and re.
membcrcd. 40 one who has not had an opportu-
nity OF hearing a representation OF the tax from
their own mouths, can form an idea of the manner
IN which Mr.. Jefferson was, and Mr. Madison con-
inues to be- oppressed by letters from every pon, Of
the compass generally too-tor every writer con-
sidcrS himself sngular-conaiuing congratulations
on the entire leisure enjoyed by them.
So entirely beyond his strength, had Che labor

With regard 10 the latter, we have understood

writing which he now has 10 wade through, Elk
ceeuS what he had IN perform when he was Sec
rotary Of State. And this too, sIipcralded 10 the
fatigue attending the management Of several cx-

The engineers Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road
left this city yesterday for New York. They in
tendto embark in one of the next packets for Liv
erpooi, and their object is TO examine the rail
roads OF Europe, and 10 procure such information
relating thereto, may be useful in the construc-
ton OF these works in this country.
Our brethren OF the south seem to be equally
alive, with our own citizens, TO the advantage OF
THIS lately improved, and, we may almost say
newly invented means of intercourse. A COM
Paily has been for some time organized in South
carolina, whose object is TO make rail road from
charleston to Hamburg, on the Savannah river.
ms VIII afford much more cheap and ready
transportation TO port, than any now existing, for
the large quantity OF cotton. which is the staple Of
the surrounding country. We understand that our
fellow citizen, DIR. Howard, with his brigade OF

States engineer department to make this survey

per cent. by company formed o! J. j. Aston

L. and j. ). Biddle of Philadelphia This is the
last loan required for the completion OF the great
pubilc work, 10 which ii is TO be appropriated and
which will tie finished in JS3O-fiye years from is
commencement. We understand that the expense
OF the canal will fall within the amount OF SIC 900
per mile; and offers have already been made TO
pay the whole OF the debt, incurred by the con-
sruction OF the canal, for the receicts of tolls TO
be realized immediately on its being opened.
The enterprise OF Ohio, we believe, is without
parallel in history. There is no instance within
our knowledge where public work of such
magnitude and utility has been executed bv so
younga republic, whose very brit, is within the
recollection OF many OF its inhabitants
