TONS to be built on account OF firm in New

somewhat neg lccted OF late, we think it due TO
them to make some notice Of matters aud things
going on in that region. At somC future tune
we Will give more minute, and more interest
ing account Of this busy and prosperous portoA
of our city.
The l.. S. Shamer Engineer. We are le-
q1estcd, by persons who visited this vessel yes
terday previous to her departure for Norfolk,
to notice her condition, which is said 10 be dir
ty and filthy in the extreme. The bulwarks,
deck, machinery and cabin appear as 1t they
had not beeu clcansed Tor month. She has,
we believe, the number of men usually allow
ed to vessels Of her class, implements of clean
sing are abundant, and water can be obtained
rratis-thcn why is she not kept in such con-
dtion as to be a credit instead of disgrace to
our navy. We cannot say TO whom the blame
attaches, but that somebody is to blame we do
not doubt The grease aud dirt every where
observable was the subject Of remark by all
who saw it.

Society Of Friends, known as the "HiAitcS, "

portion Of the members.

his city against High Constable Clifford and |
,flicer Myers, for having arrested and confined
n the watch house, a youth, (the son OF the
plaintiff, who was engaged in burning tar bar
els in Calvert street on the night of the State
Election. We agree with the Argus in the
opinion that this is certainly novel suit, for
ne believe it to be the first time such suit has
,yer been Instituted in our courts Its decision
will be of considerable interest to the police and
he public generally.
