Since receiving the above communication, how
ever, we have called upon the gentleman who
represent, the State Of Virginia in that Compa-
nv, who has furnished US with the following ex-
tract from the report, comprising all that has any
reference to the subject Of the present inquiry.
After detailing the many financial difficulties
with which the Company has had to contend. the
report says:
Pressed by these difficulties, application was
made in January last TO the Legislature Of Ma
ryland for further addition 10 her subscription,
which, in a spirit of liberality, was conceded to
the Company, to the amount Of SI25,000 in
stocks, bearing an interest Of five per cent after
the LIST Of April, 1885 BY this arrangement of
deferred interest for one year, the value Of the
stock directed 10 be subscribed was of course re-
duced 10 1920, 900, which has been disbursed
and disposed Of az follows, to wit: $4,000 Of it
have been placed in tho hands Of Phineas Jan
ney, j. p. Van " S. and William Price, in
trust, for the redemption OF promissory notes,
which have been issged 20 the contractors and
creditors Of the company. For the same pur-
pose, and applicable to the same object, $4,000
of Washington City stocks, and $4,000 of
Georgetown stocks, in all s 10000, have been
assigned TO those gentlemen. Upon this trust
fund the company has issued, and will issue,
g 80 600 of proDissory notes, payable in IL

rived at Goose Creek late that night, and, anx

Most Dist essing Casualtu.

The stage in which Mr.. Clay pro-
ceeded westward, met with a most Sc
rious accident within mile of Bruce
town. In passing down a hill near
that place, the tongue straps, by which
the wheel horses hold back, gave way,
and the stage rushing upon the horses
rendered them entirely manageable.
The vehicle was upset, and Mr.. AL
BERT HUMERIcKHoUsE, jr. (son of the
proprietary who was sitting with the
driver, was thrown from his seat with
great violence, and instantly killed, by
the body ofthe stage falling upon him.
The passengers, consisting of Mr..
Clay, Mrs. Coburn, (near Brucetown. \
AIR. Mccoy, of this place, and Mr..
Clay's servant, were overturned in the
stage, but providentially escaped any
serious injury-Mr. Clay only getting
one of his legs little rubbed. The
driverwas alsothrown, or Jumped. from
his seat, but he was not materially in.
Jured. At the moment of upsetttng
the body separated from the running
gear, and the horses ran with the fore.

PRETTY ANGLES.

On the elevation Of Napoleon to,
the Empire, the nomination OF the dig.
nitaries, both male and female, ap.
pointed to various Offices about the
Court, afforded ample scope for the
exercise of Talleyrand's caustic wit.
The female fashion of the period sane
toned the liberal display of neatly
turned ANGLE, or in more precise terms,
the ladies' pettlcoats were extrava.
gantly short. One day Talleyrand
was in attendance at the Tuilleries, in
the apartment commonly called Ia Sale
du Tronc. Several ladies were pre-
sent, who had just been appointed to
the dignity of Maids of Honor, and
amongst the number, certain Madame
de Marmiea, the daughter of the Duke
de Choiseul. Her beauty, which was
remarkable, and above all, the exqui.
site symmetry Of foot that might

extreme; for be it diyulged to our
readers, the skirt Of her robe was of
unconscionable brevity. A good natur-
ed courier of the new regime remark.

his opinion Of that fair subject. Tai

and then scanned her dress attentively,
his eye taking a downward direction.
