IMPROVEMENT AT ELLICoTT's Mills. An
other large building is now being erected in the
above village, by the Granite Manufacturing
Company, to be used as foundry for iron cas-
tings. 1t is SIS to 25 feet. We observe, says
the Free Press, that workmen are also engaged
upon the extensive cotton factory commenced
last Fall. From the activity displayed in the
erection of the buildings of this company, it is
evidently their intention to have their entire
works in operation at the earliest day practical

The "RIGHT OF WAY" On Saturday the
Pennsylvania Senate took up the amendments
of the House to the fright of wayn'bll, and
concurTed in them all with the exception of the
one requiring the Baltimore and Ohio road,
within Penns ylvania, TO conform its track to
that of the Columbia rail road, which was dis
agreed to, and the amendment of Mr.. Kunkel,
to the lst section, which was stricken out and
a clause inserted so as to require the three mil
lions of stock in the Pennsylvania Railroad to
be subscribed, and one million thereof to be
paid into the Treasury of the Company on or
before the LIST day of January, Is47, and Is
miles at each terminus (Pittsburg and Harris
burg) to be put under contract before the SOth
of July, lS47, in order to render null and void
the fright of way" granted in the bill; it beng
provided that failure to perform either condi-
ton within the time specified is to render abb
solute the privileges granted to the Baltimore
and Ohio Company. The bill was kept in the
Senate for fear of its being indefinitely postpon-
ed if sent back to the house on Saturday. 1t
is thought that the Senate will reconsider its
action and concur in the amendments Of the
house.

SANTA ANNA. 1t is now almost certain that
this General will be recalled and again placed
at the head Of the Mexican Government; but
how long to remain in power is uncertain, SO
frequent and sudden are the revolutions in
that country. What effect his elevation to
the presidency of Mexico will have upon the
relations between that Government and tho
United States, it is impossible to say; but we
incline to the opinion that it will be favorable
to the preservation Of peace. He is man of
ability and of experience, and of great ambi-
ton-and will therefore be more likely to en-
ploy his time and resources in endeavoring to
secure himself in power, than in hopeless
contest with the United States

ARREST OF A BALTIMORE "BUREER" AT
RICHMOND. We learn from the Richmond
Republican, that a man named Thomas H.
Jones, hailing from Baltimore, was arrested in
that city on Friday, charged with obtaining $50
from JohnC G. Taylor, under false pretences.-
Jones says he has been residing in Baltimore
Tor six months, where he has two hacks and
horses employed on the street. 1t appears that
he met Taylor in the street, and with tears in
his eyes represented that he had lost all his
money at faro, and in order to reach home Of
fered to sell "a very fine gold lever" for which
his father paid $3.50, at half price. Taylor, how
ever, told him he did not want it, when con-
tederate of Jones walked up, and stated that he
would buy it as he knew the watch was worth
the money. Jones, however, refused to sell it
to him, and walked off. The confederate final.
ly prevailed on Taylor to purchase for him,
which he did, paying down $50 out of his
pocket to oblige the gentleman, when, 10! and
behold, they both vanished, leaving Taylor
with a watch not worth So, for which he
paid $50
