The NoAINATIoS.-TEe Wing Con-
vention which assembled yesterday at
Ellicotts Mills, for :he nomination OF a
candidate for Congress, 10 fill The va
cancy in this district, have nominated
JoHN P. KENNEDY. Esq, Of this city.
The nomination was made with perfect
unanimity. As will be seen by the pro-
ceedings, no other name was brought
forward by any member oi the conven-
ton, and the nomination Of Mr.. KEN
NEDY received the unanimous approba-
ton Of that body. This evidence Of
undated regard by his fellow citizens,
coupled with the recollection Of the
very heavy vote which Mr.. KENNEDY
received at the last congressional cleo
lion, Will constitute a gratifying augury,
as TO the result Of the approaching
election. The utmost cordiality and
slngleness Of purpose prevailed among
the delegates on this occasion, and in
this, we :rust, as we'll as in the designa-
ton Of candidate. they are true and
faithful representatives OF their cons.iIu.
ents. Let this cordial feeling and en-
ergetic spirit be carried out through the
canvass, and there is every hope of an
suspicious resuli.-BaH Patriot.

and unanimously nominated WILLIAM

RIcnAoHD, April :, lS3s.
When wrote you last, the Houie had Jus:
passed The bill authorizing subscription Of
one million fflJ-eigh, thousand four hundred
and twenty dollars to the stock Of tho Bal,k-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, to be sp-
Pliedto that portion OF tho work between Har-
pers-FerrJ and Wheeling. The bill was pass-
ed In The Senate. on Saturday evening, by the
unexpected but decisive vote Of ISto 10, after
= forcible exposition Of lis merits by Mr.
Faulkner, aud a brief, but truly sensible view
Of the subJsc; by Mr.. Meade OF Brunswiek.
When this subject was first presented, had
entertained very little hope Of hs success. I
think we may now fairly admit that the I.sgis-
lalure has not only been just, but Iibcrsl to-
wards The Northern region Of the State. !
well reeollSet the time when We could scarce

mac region. The change has been brought
about BY The pursuance Of liberal policy on
the part Of the members representing the up-
per country.
You will see, by statement published 10
tho Richmond papers. that notwithstanding
the ioss Of the combined scheme, much has
been done for the cause Of InlernaI Improve
nent this session. The appropriations sIrea-
dy amount 10 about two and a half millions.
Al the next session, tho Southeastern Rail
Road, and its branches, will be urged wuh re-
newtd energy, and will succeed a. matter OF
eour,e. The Western section Of tho James

one day in a contest between ihe two Houses
on the subject Of merchants licenses, has rem

Of Ae!s passed will amount 10 about $50.

We have before Us the eth annual
report OF the Board OF Managers. to tho
contributors to the Pennsylvania Insti-
tuition for the Instruction OF the blind.
"a most interesting document, having
for ITS subject charity that commands
universal sympathy. The present num-
Der Of pupils Is fifty, thir,y-nine Of
whom are from Pennsy lvania, and there
fore supported by the appropriation for
their benefit provided by that great
State. The branches Of education in
which the inmates Of the establishment
are instructed, are reading. writing,
English grammar, the German Ian
guage, arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
natural philosophy and history; in adj
dition TO which they are taught music
and the useful arts. The principal
product OF the industry OF the scholars
consists Of shoes, brushes, baskets, mats
and mattresses, in connection with
which the female portion Of them,
twenty in number, are made to acquire
knowledge Of fancy handicraft and
household employment. Ills proposed
to introduce tailoring so soon as prAeii-
cable, and a printing press has already
been set up for the publication Of text
books for the use Of the blind, and
monthly magazine OF q few pages.
The report is accompanied By letters
from persons suffering under blindness.
and othe- interesting documents. A

DEAR SIR: In reply to yours of the

roneous differences from the rumor
mentioned. The settled policy OF the
Department, and one which makes il
known TO all enquiries, is, to promote
the resumption Of specie Payments by
the banks, so far as its limited powers
may permit.
Consequently it has net, and will not
hereafter, purchase specie beyond what
may be needed for immediate disburse-
neni, and in that way wall neither
hoard IT, nor compete with others fer
its possession.
All We receive in any way will i'm.
mediaiely DO paid out 20 delFay the ap-
preparations.
] make these statements explicitly
and promptly. and have forwarded sim
liar ones to Boston, in order that no in
furious apprehensions need be enter.
