selves beyond the reach OF the Baltimore sha-

Cbesapeake and Ohio Cdndl-We were gra-
tilted to see the kind feeling evinced in the
House of Representatives on Saturday, toward
this work, by adopting, unanimously, Mr.. Stew
arts motion to print 5000 extra copies Of the
Report of Gen. Mercer, from the Committee on
Roads and Canals, in favor of a further sub
scription on the part of the Government to the
Stock of the Canal. We are also pleased to

New Custom HouSe.-The work has been
checked from the fact that the Government have
not fulfilled the arrangement made with the Y.
States Bank. 1t will be recollected by many,
that the Bank gave up their right to an alley run

ST., and from which the Government agreed to
keep open the alley from Wall to Pine st. be-

tempt would be made to release him from pri-
son-thus setting at defiance the law of the land
