Another bill, also, of much importance,
was retained by the President, and does not
become law. We refer to the bill for the
improvement of certain Harbors and Rivers
This bill proposed appropriations for these
highly interesting objects in number of
the States, TO The amount OF something more
than half million of dollars. We will pro-
cure and publish copy of the bill. The j.
TENS of it which we happen to remember,
are the following:
For improving the navigation of the Hud-
son River, Seventy Thousand Dollars.
For the improvement of Back Greek,
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
For the improvement of the Harbor of
Baltimore, Twenty five Thousand Dollars
For removing a Bar in James River, be-
low Richmond, Twenty one Thousand Dol
lars.
This is another case Of assumption by the
Executive OF authority properly belonging

tween objects of appropriation. If there he

and the Internal improvement Bill which
