ToRNyY's OFFIcE.-The United States District Attor-
ney will remove his Office from College Place to
Whitlocks Buildings, opposite The Tins office on
the corner of Beekman and Nassau streets, early next

venient, both to lawyers and business men,
than the old one. II is to BE- regretted That all tue
United States offices could not have been removed to
the sane place; bu; the buildings in College Pace
have been leased to the Government for three years,
at such rent rs TO make underlcase to private
parties impracticable.
