The FERRY HOUSES AND BoATs.-We
are glad to be able to announce that the
enterprising proprietor of our Ferry has
taken the initiatory step in repairing the
Ferry houses and boats. The Ferry house
on this side has been thoroughly removal
ted, and that portion oft occupied by the
fairer sex has been handsomely papered
The cabins on the boats now plying be-
tween this and our sister city, have been
greatly improved since the Ferry passed
into the hands of Mr.. White; and many
other much-needed improvements will
soon be made.
The Norfolk, which was laid up some
time ago for repairs, will soon be placed
upon the line again, thus affording much
better opportunity for repairing the other
boats.

JoHNsoNs New HALL ON MAIN ST.
Mr.. JOHNSON has evidently erected this
spacions and magnificent building for the
Norfolk of the future rather than for the
actual and present Norfolk 1t far sur
passes any similar edifce in this section
Of Virginia; and in its symmetry, conve-
niences, adaptability to the various pur-
poses for which it is intended, and its en-
tire and faultless tastefulness is unexcelle3
by any Northern structure of likecharacter.
The building fronts seventy feet, with a
depth of one hundred and sixty feet
The width in the rear is nearly eighty
feet. The lower floor is occupied in three
ample stores. The front Of the second floor
is divided into commodious and we'll
lighted offices, above which, on the third
floor, is handsome room-intended for
suppers, lectures, meetings, social parties
&c.-which is twenty by seventy feet
But the Hall itself is the chef d'pauve of
the skill Of the talented and ingenious
architect, Mr.. PETER G. HULL.
The floor has descent from the en-
trance to the stage Of twenty-five inches,
which, while it would afford an audience,
in dramatic performance. fair view of
the stage which is quite elevated, by no
means units it for assemblies and balls.
A light and gracefully-constructed gal
lery runs around the sides and the rear
end. The windows are Romanesque, We
ry lofty, and beautifully ornamented.-
The fresco work is excellently done, and
the drop-curtain and scenery are excee-
dinghy elegant and appropriate. We
might particularize; but the Hall is open
to inspection and we forbear.
The gas-fxtures are now in place, and so
arranged as to make the distribution of
light very equable. With the exception
of the elegant and comfortable seats, all
of which have not yet arrived, the Hall
may be said to be complete in its ap-
pointments and to be in readiness for the
several uses for which it is designed
We presume Mr.. JOHNSON will ere long
give a grand "housewarming," to the end
of inaugurating this superb room as one
among those local Improvements, now in
progress or contemplation, and made in
an abiding conviction Of the coming COM
mercial greatness Of our city.

Mr.. SAMUEL, whose advertisement ap-
pears in the city papers, is, as we learn,
successfully engaged in instructing pu-
pills, in Bookkeeping by Double Entry,
including Mercantile forms, terms and
calculations, at his rooms over the Post
Office. His long and varied experience
in commercial houses, gives him great
advantage as teacher over the merely
theoretical professors of this science :;
since he has a thorough, and practical I'M
derstanding ofall its details and applica-
tons and of the different systems actual
ly employed in business. We are happy
to recommend Mr.. SAMUEL to clerks and
Others who may desire to accomplish
themselves in this exceedingly useful and
available branch.

OvERBoARD.-About seven o'clock last

tom of the "briny deep" rising mi''us of

the exertions of the Engineer, Mr.. Thomas
HOPE, would have undoubtedly been
crushed into jam. 1t appears that the
boat was near the wharf, and that the
gentleman alluded to, endeavored to leap
ashore, but installing his distance, fell
just between the boat and the wharf
when the alarm was promptly given by
the attendants, when Mr.. H. with his
usual promptness, backed his boat, there

This should be a warning to the ''care-
less;' and we only hope that it may
prove lesson to all such persons.
