We have letter from Mr.. X. F.
May, from which we make The follow
ing extract.-Ed. WMg.
The present mail carries tidings of a
more agreeable nature to your side OF
the continent. The everlasting elements
have relented somewhat, and the pros.
pect of a deluge, and starvation has pas
sed away.
IT, you could visit our City Just now, a
new feature in the system of labor and
industry would attract your attention.
Sodeep has the mud become and SO i'm
passable the streets, that ordinary work
animals, horses, mules and oxen, are of
no avail, and 'pack" men have taken
their place. From 100 to 15) tons of
merchandise daily arrive and depart,
and human beings have to do all the
work of carrying from the levee to the
stores, and from the stores to Wagons
on the outer edge Of town. 1t makes
good times for the lahorer, wages for
such work varying from Sc to $40 per
day.
Business is good, first rate, and the
prospect tor the present year throughout
is still better K. T, VI.

ty Girls and Nice Young Men, &c.
DEAR RIcKETTs:-For the week mast there
is no visible change to note, either OF the trade
upon the canal or its attendant business in The
"Dvided ci.y;' oolh continue moderate and
steady.
Winter has nearly passed away, and its mild
ness will have tendency to open the trade of
spring AT an early date.
The workinen Of the Canal company have
discontinued the improvements and repairs OF
the Lock Gates until further orders. There
seems to be trouble again al ''Dover," and some
of our citizens have become suddenly seized
with alarming symptoms Of Delaware & Mary
land Ship Canal fever. Some look sad and
meditative and have little to say, others express
their fears frankly and their eplhels freely-lhe
former proper but the latter not very polite.
The following subjects also claim The attcn-
ton Of the "Divided city"-ans, viz the Bridge
Question:; n tax on dogs; a law to prevent swine
from running al large; memorial PRAYING the
Legislature 10 prevent the sale Of arden, spirits;
who is Achatcs and whom he intends S. @.
K. Pollywog 10 represent?
The last question has been productive OF
much speculation and there appears TO be de.
termination on the part of three very worthy
persons to claim under the title. Well. gen.
tlcmen, if your discrimination leads TO such a
conclusion, ego ahead;' but who "Achates'' is
or who he is NOT, all youf soarnes into the re-
cioas Of conjecture will never unravel; there

time to something more profitable and less ex.

TAE Snail NOTE LAw.-We print
below the small note law, at length.
The last section went into effect on Tues
day last. 1t will be observed that it
does not forbid the receiring of small
notes of the Mary land banks, so that the
receiver could in no case be fined. 1t
is believed to be the intention of the
law, only to prevent the Paying ont OF
such notes, by the parties who issue
them. On this subject the Baltimore
American remarks:
''ln regard 10 The notes in the posses
sion of individuals, the opinion is very
generally held that they may be legally
passed from hand to hand, as heretofore;
and in the meantime, as heretofore,
those who wish to convert them into
coin can do so at their pleasure"

We understand, that the Washington
