BUNKER HILL MoNuMENr.-Wo learn
from the Boston Mercantile Journal that eight
layers Of stone have been added to the Bunk
or Hill Monument this season-each layer
being two feet eight inches in thickness, max
ing an additional height of wenty-onc feet
four inches. The monument is now, con-
sequently, upwards of one hundred feet in
height, and it israpidy increasing in altitude
We once feared that none Of the present ge-
neratlon would live to see this monument
completed. We no longer entertain such
fears. Indeed, it is not risking much to pre-
dict, that the stop stone" will be laid, on OF
before the seventeenth Of June. 1872

On Tuesday of last week there was quite
stir in our vicinity relative to the Morris Canal
Bank Many foreigners came into town in not
very pleasant humour, ''blowing up" the Ca
nal and all who had any thing to do with it at
such rate that our citizens became SO fright
ened they would not take the bills of that ins,i-
tuition for few days. After proper deliberasion
and enquiry, The following facts, which gave
rise to the alarm, were elected: To enable the
Company to have The Canals. Locks, and In
clined Planes enlarged at early day for spring
navigation, several huadred hands were EN-
ployed at several points the whole length of
the line, although they laboured al great disad
vantage. the frost being from 1--WE to three feet
deep. Al the commencement of the present
month an agent was directed TO proceed along
the line to what progress was made, and on
his arrival al Easion he there learned that the
Lehigh Canal would not probably be navisable
to the Coal region until some time in June. On
learning this fac, the Morris Canal Company al
once determiI. ed upon ceasing operations until
the opening Of spring, as they gould then finish
their enlargement by the time the Lehigh was
navigable, and were then paying men rs cents
per day when in fact they could not earn 25.
Under these circumstances the labourers were
ali discharged for .he present except those en-
gagged on the Inclined Planes, which will be
nearly completed by the time they again COM
mence widening the canal. These circum-
stances, in addition to The well known fact that
that Company had extensive dealings with the
U. S. Bank, caused sudden panic with the
people, but which has pretty much subsidized,
and the bills again taken at par as they are as
good as any of the Jersey bills in the city.
y Any person having bills on tha, Bank, and
indebted to the Editor of this paper, can salts
fy themselves as to our belief in The solvency of
that Institution by making tender of them in
liquidation of their debts-JerSeymGn

of being able to inform our readers that in all
probability, the Cabinet of the new President,
so far as depends upon him, will be thus COM
posed:
