The McDonogh Agency.-The vexed ques-
ton OF the appointment of agents TO represent the
interests Of the city Of Baltimore in the McDo-
nogh bequcsi, is now in all probability settled.
The ordinance, with the amendments proposed
by the second branch OF the city council was con-
Cured in by the first branch last evening, and now
only requires the appreciation Of the mayor to be-
come law. II is thought this bill will be accept
able TO the chief officer Of the city as il gives him
the nominating power. The ordinance provides
that two Of the agents shah be chosen from the
citizens Of New Orleans and one from the city Of
Baltimore. A large number Of communications
were last nigh, received by the first branch OF the
council from the mayor, relative TO certain suits
against the estate. Most Of them, however, re-
ferred without reading. The work Of the ap-
Polntment Of agents will probably be brought up
before the final adIournment--Bah. Patriot.
