lurRovEMESTs.--Notw that this
is the dull season Of the year. the evidences
oi improvement, in the way OF buildings, is
most gratifying. In all sections of the city
we meet with new buildings, either receiy-
ing the finishing touch at the hands of our
skiful artiticers, or in the process Of erection.
Some Of these buildings are most elegant,
rivalng the models Of architecture in other
cities, whilst the others are small but comtor-
table tenements, intended for the residences
Of "the bone and sinew of the city" whose
labor in great part builds up every city, and
furnishes the great element Of our nation
al greatness. Indeed an observant jaunt
through the streets of our city would show
an amount of progress" which would sur
prise those who have not paid attention to
the subject.
WA<uiSGroS IrEws.---W orkmeu have com
menced the removal of the naval monument
from the tish-pond on the western side .; the
capitol Ii is to be transferred to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, i'll pursuance Of the
recent order of Congress.
The "Georgetown Academy o! the Vista
