At the ship ward of Messrs John w. Brown & |
Co is fine brig, large schooner, canal
boat, and vessel intended for a Light Boat at
Craney Island, near Norfolk, Va. They are a II

he completed as rapidly as possible. The iue,
large barque, intended to ply between Balti-
more aud Liberia, as regular packet, is Just
commenced at the Messrs. Culey's yard, and
we learn that an extra number OF hands will
be put to work, ia order to complete her within
the time contracted for. No other vessels are
IN progress on this side Of the Basin, but II APP
pear busy in repairing and overhaulng old
vessels. The south side of the Basin, not only
in ship building but in every other kind OF me-
chanical employment is rapidly becoming one
of the busiest and most thriving sections of
the city.
William street, Federal Hill This fine street,
which has only been graded and paved, within
a short PERIOD is being rapidly improved and
built up. On the west side, south of Warren
street, is block of six beautiful two-story and
attic dwellings, Just erected, several OF which
ire already finished and occupied Near by
are also two more dwellings Of the same size,
nearly completed, and between Warren and
Cross streets, are several blocks finished within
a short period EAST. In fact the whole of this
thriving section of Baltimore is fast building
up, and Warren, Hamburg, Cross, Henrietta,
Montgomery, and Light Streets all give evil
dence of the spirit Of improvement which is
abroad in the numerous beautiful dwellings
lately erected, ar now in progress of construc-
ton. In few years, building lots in this
section Of the city, will command near double
the price, they can now be purchased for.
Fultu Committed. James B. Brown, alias
Martin Brown, the young man charged with
the theft of some 5000 from boarder at the
Whealfeld Inn, and who was arrested by that
young 'un, "Oid Hays" was fully committed
for trial yesterday by Justice Manning. Off
Ger Hays has received information since his ar
rest, which proves his proper name to be
Bloomer, one of the most expert and accom-
pshed Hotel thieves in the country. He will
probably do the State some service, before he
! tries the 'Etricks of his traden again.
Officer and Justice. Yesterday, two negro
BOYS, named Nathan Smith and Geo. Hughes,
took it into their heads to have small knock
down, opposite Justice E5erton's office in Cal
vert street, and there being no officer about,
the Squire walked out, caught both, brought
them into his Office, and held them to bail to
keep the peace. That is the proper way to

State Of Pennsylvania, in lace, in which the
towns, counties, rivers and mountains are all

.Ns,c Sewer. We perceive that workmen are
engaged in building new stone Sewer at the
north west corner Of Conway and Light streets
1t runs from short distance up Conway, across
Light street, into the Dock and is being built of
heavy granite, in a most substantial manner,
under the superintendance of the City Commits.

days. A Sewer vas much needed at this
place, in consequence of the large quantity of
water which comes Down Conway street, after
a heavy rain.
