deVelOpment OF the resources Of Wash
lngton, that we find devotion to the manu-
featuring interests Of our city has become
one of the fixtures of the paper. 1t is our
privilege to call attention to the various
manufacturing establishments that are
sprnglng up around US, and that are fill
ing various parts of the metropolis with
the busy hum Of industry.
Want of time to day will not admit of
our abiding to all these public improve
ments, but we cannot deny ourselves the
pleasure of speaking of hree of them-the
establishment of Mr.. Ellis's foundry, for
merlv occupied by Mr. McKinStry, DR..
Boylc's new mandatory of lime. near
Virginia Avenue. on the Canal. and tie
planning mill Of the Messrs Covle.
These various concerns all merit the
attention OF the public. They are all
managed in way that does credit to the
enterprise and ingenuity of the gentlemen
who conduct them. and it is to be hoped
that they will meet with proper cncour-
agement at home.
The Nelr Councils. improvement ap-
pears to be the motto of some of the
members of the Councils, a motto that is
calculated to inspire our property owners
with zeal to push ahead the improvement
OF private property. We hope there will
be no objection to improvement: there is
room for it throughout the CITY. The
streets could be improved; the City Hall
could he improved: the Canal, the mar
kets, the asylum, and truly the police
department. could be greatly improved by
saving portion of the Corporation funds.
Two moves in the Board of Aldermen
meet with favor from all who have vet
spoken of the subject; one is the erection
of an iron bridge over the Canal, at a
noint below Maryland Avenue: the other
is an act to prevent the use Of the Canal
as sewer for gas-tar, &c. Every one
will admit that the health and convenience
OF our fellow citizens of the Southern and
Eastern portions of the city ought to be
considered occasionally. The commit
tees having charge of these subjects will
be looked to with some anxiety: and we
have re ason to believe that they will con-
slider their business impartially, and value
the appeals of all men alike.
MISUNDERSTANDING morning, as we
learn from the Republic, while the priyat,
carriage of N. Bodisco was passing along
Pennsylvania avenue, one of the wheels
came OH, The horse continuing at rapid
speed. When near the corner Of Seventh

off, and the pane! of another was crushed.
The driver of the latter, colored lad, was

Fourth Of JMy.-Two weeks ago our
Municipal Councils were boiling over with
patriotism and adopted resolution ap-
pointing committee to make the neces-
Sarv arrangements for the celebration of
our nations birth day. At their meet

charge, did not think i worth the trouble
Of reporting on the subject. To make
amends, however, for a general celebra
