Hunts Merchants, Magazine,

This magazine, which has now entered its
thirteenth year of publication, maintains a high
character as work devoted to the general ele-
and finance. To make it entirely acceptable
to the public, the editor has adopted the policy
of opening its columns to antagonistic doctrines
and opinions on subjects which divide the pub
lie mind The following is programme lately
put forth by Mr. Hunt:
&C 1t has ever been the constant aim and untiring
effort of the editor and proprietor to make the work
at once journal of the latest commercial intelli-
gence, and a standard library of reference on all
topics of trade, not less indispensable to the states
man, political economist jurist, financier, banker
broker, ship-master, ship builder, mechanic, and
manufacturer, than to the merchant and business
man. and from the necessarily comprehensive
range of its discussions and statistics taking in az
it does, every subject in the wide field of commerce
the pages of the Magazine will always be found tc
embody vast fund of knowledge for the farmer
aso-for the cotton planter OF the South, and the
grain grower of the North.
"The editor and proprietor has endeavored to in
fuse into this Magazine national spirit and char
acter by securing the aid of able correspondence
in all parts OF widespread Republic, and by ex-
hibting the of every State and Territory
of the Union. On mooted points in political econ
omy banking, and the principles of trade, Inc haf
freely admitted articles advocating antagonistic
doctrines and opinions and while it is his great
aim to exhibit facts, and embody the scientific and
practical operations of commerce., the magazine
will be ever open to the free and fair discussion o
every subject legitmately falling within its gene
raj scope and its original design"

FITz GREENE HALLEcK.-We see it stated in the
New York Sunday alias that this gentleman, 30 we'll
known as writer, and who would have been the
first American poet but for the fact that his humor
always ran away with him, is now residing in his
native town OF Guilford, CT, where he intends
passing the declining years of his life. The same
paper hints that Mr.. III. is now engaged upon re-
cord of his life and TINES As a conversationist he
Is not equaied and if to the graces OF his narrative
be unites the beauty of his poetic pen, the work
will be most popular. We trust the report is true,
and that We may soon have the pleasure of reading
the book Detroit Advertiser.

MY DEAR SIR: am extremely obliged to you for
offering me passage in one of the ships of your
line to England, and if should propose such
voyage shall certainly accept your offer
Not only am disposed, 80 far as may be. in my
power, to manifest interest in your line Of
steamers, but am ready to say also, publicly and
privately, that think the encouragement Of your
ine and its success, to be objects of high public
concern. Individual enterprise, in this country,
accomplish all that individual enterprise can
accomplish anywhere; but it cannot carry the
contest on equal terms, with equal success,
against individual enterprise in other countries,
strongly sustained by the patronage of the govern
ment consider your enterprise partaking large
ly of national character, and deem it a cause of
just national pride that you have been able to con-
struct such noble specimens of naval architecture
as have commanded the admiration of the world
and with which you have been able TO accomplish
the voyage across the Atlantic in period of time
without parallel, thus far in the history of steam
navigation. ] am not, my dear sir in the legisla-
tive councils; il were, should deem il my duty
to contribute such support on the part of the Gov
ernment to the Atlantic steam navigation as to
give it fair chance of successful competition with
that of any nation in Europe.
am, my dear sir, very truly yours.

CIR: After consulting many persons interested in the

signed establish agencies in this city and in
New York. for the purpose Of collecting full and anthem
tic Railroad statistics and such other Information will
enable them 20 persons desiring TO invest in Rail-
road securities or to procure information Of matters
connected with the construction and administration Of
Railroads They also propose, especially, to urge upon
Congress modification Of the laws relating to contracts
for carrying the mall 10 authorize the Post Office
Department contract for the perpetual Of Railroads,
and instead Of paying now quarterly contracts for
States, chargeabe upon the revenues Of the Post Once
Department amount the interest upon which at per
cent would equal the payments now made.
The Govern:uent pays $500 per mile for carrying
the mail on frAt-cass Railroads. This Is per cent
$4,000 The undersigned would urge that nstea Of pay
ing $500 mile per anbum The Department should de-
bearing interest of fVe per centum At this rate the
charge upon the Department. would be reduced from $500
20 $3.50 a mile, per annuln, and the $50 mile saved
would n sinking fund, which viii, in few years,
pay of the bonds and give the use OF such roads forever
thereafter free of all charge; thereby efectng vast
saving ON the present annual OF the Post
Office Department, and consequent reduction OF tho
rates of postage.
The effect will be less advantageous Railroad COM
panies than to the Government For instance, such
contract would give to the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad
Company more than 100000, which would enable that
company 10 complete its early day. and greatly
increase its business and profits.
But TO meet objections and impress the public mind
with proper OF the benefits to result from this
measure will require concert Of action and continued
active effort through the press and otherwise The
ing reasonable compensation, partly contingent upon

GEoRaETowE, December 2-l2 m.
Our citizens cannot be too careful to secure
well their houses at night, as our town appears
to be infested by gang Of thieves and bur-
glars. Scarcely night passes without at
tsmpts being made by them to enter stores or
dwellings, and in several instances they have
succeeded and carried off considerable quanti-
ties Of plumber. Several attempts were made
last night and the night before.
The regular session of our town Councils
commenced last night. William III. Edes, the
men, appeared, was qualified, and took his seat.
No measure Of any moment was passed. The
Mayor in his communication recommends the
passage of q number of important measures !;
among them are an increase of the night watch
and their salary; under the present regula-
tions they only receive the pittance of fifty-fve
cents per night. The Mayor recommends one
dollar-lttle enough.
At the election which came off yesterday, to
supply the vacancy in the Board Of Aldermen,
occasioned by the death of John Pickrell, esq,
there were 239 votes cast; of which, Mr.. Will
liam II. Edes received l59, and Captain Levin
Jones 80.

to the citizens of that part of Washington
county lying west Of Rock creek, to attend the

nesday night, and all succeeding ones which

night at Temperance Hall, on Bridge street.
Several speakers from Washington and this
