The Spring Trade has opened; already many of our hotels are filling up with strangers The fine weather induces to hope that the river will shortly break up and the navigation commence. Congress has nearly closed it's session, and the public will be quite willing them dis perse-N Y. Express ef Saturday last.
 Baltimore American that the importation of wheat at that place. since the last harvest upwards of three hundred and sixty one thousand bushels. is stated that personal friend of General Jack son has espoused his quarrel with MT. Calhoun, and called upon the latter for that satisfaction which one gentleman is expected to render to another" We trust MT. Calhoun will have too much good sense to notice any such call
