An interesting discovery has recently been
made in the neighborhood of Civita Vecchia,
where mosaic pavement has been brought to
light representing Orpheus surrounded by lions,
tigers, and hippopotamuses. From the style and
colour of the work, the subject being developed
merely in black and white it is evidently of great
antiquity.

The Distractions at the Mouth Of the M1ssis

have memoralized Congress on the importance Of
removing the existing distractions to Commerce
at the mouth of the Mississippi and state that
some idea may be formed of the immensely of
the outward current of trade through it from the
average annual quantity and value of the follow
ing articles, which are the chief but by no means
the whole Of the productions of the South and
West, which seek their market through this OBJ
structed channel:

Mary Brandon, free woman of colour, yester-
day appeared before the Mayor to answer the
charge Of participating in fight near the Dock
Bridge, a day or two since. It appears that seve-
sal free negroes took part in the row,:but the DO
lice have only succeeded in arresting one of the
parties yet.
The case was continued until to-day, when all
the worthless creatures who participated in the
fight will probably receive their just dues.

whist the procession moving from the Church
towards the Grove rain began fall and during the re-

a pountul supply OF cool water from The clouds This
untoward event however, appeared to damper their
ardour; the procession moved steadily and the
bands played as oyousy though the sun smiled dpon

this outward current of trade
They state also that within the last few weeks
nearly forty ships have been aground on the bar,
for various periods, from two days to eight weeks,
some of which We're compelled to throw portions
of their cargo overheard, and others to discharge
cargo into lighters, before they could be got
through the channel, occasioning heavy expense
to the goods, and great straining, injury, and loss
of rigging, anchors and cables to the vessels; and
say tina they cannot estimate the fixed and GER
tain loss from these detentions at less than $780,
900, independent of the contingent loss arising
from fluctuations and loss of markets, consequent
upon the delay of merchandise shipped to meet
a certain condition of things abroad, which may
be entirely changed by the undue detention oil
the property in New Orleans.
They further state that the duties on impor-
tations on foreign productions brought into the
country throug h this chanel within last year.
and collected in the city of New Orleans was
$2,260,790 which added to 100000 calculated
there, but collected in the ports of Cincinnati
Louisville and St Lo uis, makes total of near SIS,
100000 of revenue which goes into the Golfers
Of the Federal Government. They do not recon-
mend the undertaking of any gigantic and costly
work with view of permanently deepening the
channel over the bar, but the opinion of almost
allscientic men, who have given the subject their
consideration authorizes the belief that an annu-
appropriation offrom 800, 900 to $780, 900 will!
be sufficient to induce parties owning steamboats,
to contract to keep the channel open by constant
ly raking up the mud, SO that the current of the
river diffuse and carry it forward into deep
er water; and they believe that such parties
would be willing to make this compensation con-
tingent upon the successful result of their work
In conclusion they state, that relying upon the
liberality which Congress has always displayed
in matters concerning national interests, much less
important than those referred to in their memori-
al, they respectfully request that such appropria-
lions as the case require may be forthwith made,
and that authority be vested in the Collector and
Navy Officer of the port of New Orleans to make
all needful contracts in the premises.
