LOCAL MATTERS.

NATIONAL HoTEL.-This extensive hotel is un.
dergoing most thorough re6tting and repair
under the personal supervision of Mr. Calvert the
proprietor-Mr Du6ef being the contractor The
interior arrangements will be most materially
changed and improved, and the comfort and conve-
nence of visiters seem to be carefully studied in
all the improvements An entrance has been made
in the wall at the southwest corner, and the
workmen engaged in erecting handsome era-
mite door-front-the room at that corner having
been converted into store. which, we learn, when
completed, will be occupied by Mr.. William Mar
shall a clothing emporium. II is supposed that
the improvements and repairs will be entirely COM
pleted by the LIST Of November when the National
will be reopened a hrst-class hotel by the propri-
etor, Mr.. Calvert, with the services of Mr.. E.. d.
Willard as manager.
Posr OFFICE lmPRovEMENr.-We notice that
since the robbery Of Latham & Co.'s box of his
letters and money, (of the perpctrator of which no
discovery has yet been msde,) handwriting has
been put up in the delivery room Of the city post Of
fee, to prevent persons having too close an intimacy
with the leter-boxcs, as by some it is supposed
that the robbery may have taken place from the
outside-the thief putting his hand through the
opening while the clerk was engaged looking for a
letter, and abstracting the contents Of Latham s
box, which was contiguous to the window Others
aver that it could not have been done in that wny.
the box was beyond ordinary reach and that the
purloining must have taken place on the inside
We sincerely hope that to relieve the innocent from
unjust suspicion, the thief may be speedily de-
tected
