kind interest in, and Favorable wishes for, our
Alexandria Canal!!-
Aqueduct across the Potomac Rircr.-By d;
rection Of an act Of Congress, million Of do,
lars have been subscribed TO the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, and about three-fourths OF tha,
sum expended in making the Canal from the
Little Falls Of the Potomac down to the mouth
of Rock Greek, distance of about three miles
alongside Of the Potomac, there fine, placid
stream, down which canal boats may generally
float with perfect security, or might have been
drawn by means Of tow-path along its bank
But it was thought wise by Congress to prolong
the canal from Georgetown to Alexandria, be-
tween which the river is navigable for ships
For that purpose il was necessary to build an
aqueduct to take the canal across the river al.
Georgetown. The Executive did not ask an
appropriation; but in 1882 Congress appropria
ed 100, 900 dollars.
We have copied the above to let our towns
men see what jealous friends they have in
Washington!

French Claims.-The following extract OF a
letter, from highly respectable gentleman in
Paris, to his friend in Baltimore, dated 9th
June, holds out the prospect Of payment ofthe
indemnity stipulated in the late French treaty:
at is to be hoped that hostile measures viii
not be adopted (by the United States) with toe
much precipitation, for believe that If this Go
vernment be really disposed to pay, they will
have no difficulty in obtaining the funds from
the ensuing legislature, as the elections which
have lately taken place have given them an i'm.
mense majority which will be disposed to give
them Whatever they ask for"

Mysterious.-We understand that great ex-

consequence of the mysterious disappearance
of young lady from the nunnery in that place.
The circumstances, as far as we can learn are
as follows: The young lady was sent to the
place in question to complete her education, and
became SO pleased with the place and its IN
mates, that she was induced to seclude herself
from the world and take the black veil. After
some time spent in the nunnery, she became dis
satisfied, and made her escape from the institu-
ton; but was afterwards persuaded to return,
being told that, if she would continue but three
weeks longer, she would be dismissed with ho-
nor At the end Of that tme few days since,
her friends called for her, but she was not to be
found, and much alarm is excited in conse-
quence.-Boston Mercantile Journal.

night by a carter, with no covering save blan.

Danger of registering Conversations. to
the register of conversations, it is often amusing,
and sometimes instructive, but very dangerous.
In the impulse of the moment, people inconside-
rately say much for which they are very sorry,
and which is not their sober opinion; and bitter
censures of others are thus perpetuated, which
the censurer does not retain in his own heart
longer than the words take in the delivery.
Among much which is excellent that Boswell
has recorded of Johnson, there is much also OF
this kind which ought to have been expunged.
1t is the same of others, especially of Lord By
which ought to be forgotten They who are so
cautious as to say nothing Objectionable, seldom
say any thing good.

There is now confined in Newgate
where he awaits his trial, child only 8
years of age, named John Walsby, who

prisoner for trial, for stealing the sum oil

roll before the same magistrate, who, i IS
believed, committed him to prison in the
benevolent hope that the compassion
which the unprotected condition OF the
poor infant might excite amongst those
who superinteLded the prison OF Newgate
would lead to some arrangement likely to
save him from utter rum. Whatever
might have induced the magistrate to send
the child to the Jail Of Newgate, where it
is SO difficult TO prevent the rapid spread
of moral contamination, il is certain thai
the warrant of commitment was received
with start of astonishment even by those
who are in the habit ofwl,nessiDg accusa-

GREAT BRITAIN.

The politics, literature, and general
course Of Great Britain, are more interest
ing to American readers than those of
any foreign kingdom or nation. As we
speak the language Shakespeare spoke, ("
we are enabled the more readily TO graft
fy reasonable and natural desire to know
the ways OF what is even now called the
" mother country" for however estran-
ged by time, distance and circumstance,
we can never forget that we sprung from
her loins, and drew our nurture in infancy
from her bosom. II must be gratifying TO
those across the Atlahtic to see the gene
raj interest taken in, and knowledge Of,
Great Britain, by the people of this coun-
try. An important measure, such as
change of administration, or any other
event which excites the public mind in
England, Scotland. or Ireland, is sure to
have its effect and influence upon the pub
lie sentiment here. Men talk Of British
affairs famliarly and earnestly, and next
to the doings Of their own government
think and speak Of the acts Of the British
Government. And this Happens without
any community of interest, or real nation
al concern in what occurs there. 1t arises
from the kindred ties Of blood, and the
consciousness that there, as well as here,
there is sacred depository Of Liberty,
from which the nations Of the earth are to
be supplied, and for the safety and pres,
ervation Of which we cannot but be con-
cerned. How powerful this state of feel
ing must be in strengthening the cords Of
peace and harmony which now unite the
two nations, is evident. II would seem
that, situated as we are, there could hard
ly arise state ofthings which could in
duce an alteration in our present amicable
relations. Mutually benefi,ing each other,
mutually interested 10 each others welfare
mutually lighting the world in its onward
march, to freedom, and mutually laying
the broad am deep foundation Of Civil
Liberty for posterity to build on who
would wish TO see SO much peace marred
so much harmony destroyed?
