p 1t is the general wish, so far as we can learn,
that the Capitol should be built of stonean album

celient quality for building. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er the first cost Of the building made Of stone,
would be mere-and the building when compile

last twice as long as a building Of brick.
Ii is understood that the Dr. franklin No. is
to be a regular weekly packc. boat. this season,
between Gaiena and St. Paul. We hope so; but
fcnr that we shall be disappointed in this, as we
were last year. Capt. Lodwick has earned an
enviable reputation The river, for keeping
clean, orderly boat, and an excellent table. The
Capt. is married now however, he has been run
ming down below; and may net like to change his
new quarters yet.
Montfort, Of the DR.. Franklin No, 2, we learn,
has gone 10 n Y. City. His face, refaIgent with
fun, viii be as much missed ON the Mississippi, as
a fall NEON in a total eclipse. Capt. Hauis-both
the Hsrrises, are araiously looked for again, in
this trade; men who seem TO be purt of the
boats they commawd, fitting their stations as ma
tarlily as the head Of the cen,aur fits the body.
Poor old Crpt. John .Alchison, Of the Highland
