CIRCULAR,

WASHINGTON, AU0fa l, 1851
CIR. After consulting many persons interested in the
prinopa Railroads In the United States, the under
signed propose to establish agencies in this city and in
New York for t ma sucb other isrmston ~ %
enable them to persons desiring TO invest In Rail-
road securities to procure information Of any 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 mail, 10 authorize the Post Office
Department contract for the perpetual of Railroads
and instead of paying quarterly contracts for
four years. advance In five cent bonds of the United
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 Government now pays $500 per mile for carrying
the mail on frstcass Railroads. This is per cent
$4,000 The undersigned would that instead Of pay
ing $500 mile per annum, the Department should de-
liver contract in perpetuity, five $1,000 bonds,
bearing interest Of FIVE per centum At this rate the
charge upon the Department would be reduced from $500
TO $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 mile saved
would create sinking fund.- which will, in few years,
pay the bonds and give the of such roads forever
thereafter free Of all charge; thereby efecng vast
saving present annual expenditures of the Post
Office Department, and consequent reduction OF the
rates of postage
The effect will be no less advantageous to Railroad com
panies than TO the Government For instance, such
contract would give to the Baltimore aud ONO Railroad
Company more than 81 0O0 which would enable that
company complete its road at carly day. and greatly
increase its business and prohts.
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 M
dersigned tender their
ing reasonable compensation partly contingent upon
the success the MEASURE and respectfully suggest the
propriety of your sending more delegates 10 TINS
CITY, on the first Wednesday in December next 70 confer
with delegates from other Railroad companies as 70 tne
details Of the proposed arrangement and the best mode OF
bringing the subject before Congress.
Should n no vour pleasure to accept Of services in
this matter we will promptly attend to all other business
which YOU. or your Company may have with the Post
Office Department other branch OF the Governments
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience

petition is being circulated through our town
for signatures, praying Congress to straighten
Pennsylvania avenue near Georgetown, to con-
struct bridge over Rock creek and to extend
the gas lights along through the First Ward of
Washington into Georgetown.
Now, as it regards the extension Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue to Bridge street, in this town, our
people would have no objection to the measure
whatever. 1t should be remembered, however,
that this is city improvement, and cannot and
will not, under any circumstances, be regarded
as an act for the benefit of Georgetown. We
have fair and just claims upon Congress for seri-
Gus injuries inflicted upon us for the benefit of
our neighboring cities. These injuries cannot be
repaired by making improvements for the accom-
mediation of the people of Washington. These
facts must be remembered and that our citizens
cannot accept city improvements in lieu of claims
which cannot be disputed, and which should be
met in way that shall rebound to our imme-
date and exclusive advantage.
Our river and canal are both closed with ice,
SO that navigation is entirely suspended.
So great is the demand for our Corporation one
and two-dollar notes, and SO strong is the conf
dence in its safety, that it frequently occurs that
enough of them cannot be had by the clerk to
change ffty-dollar note.
The Messrs. Joseph and VIM. H. Semmes have
leased of the Corporation the Washington street
wharf, where they intend to construct an extern

Mary Elizabeth, lying at the First Municipality
wharves. The deceased was British nobleman,
and was only twenty-three years of age. He
had taken passage at Havana for this city in the

coming up the river. The evidence before the
jury proved that he had been drinking very freely
for some days past, and that his nervous system
was Frustrated from that cause; the immediate
cause of his death being congestion of the brain.
A gentleman and q servant accompanied him on
the voyage, and gave him every attention during
his illness. The British Consul yesterday took
