quently, no proposal to break up the blockade

Mayor, ex oticio, ]. Lee Chapman, sent
| message to the City Council Of Baltimore on
wednesday, regarding certain expenditures Of
| money, out Of an appropriation Of $500, 200,
made April 20, 1851, to meet exisencies and
defray expenses growing cut Of the memora-
BILE 18th Of april mob. Mr. Chapman, in his
brief but pertinent message, significantly
says: "It has been said by some that this
| large amount Of money was appropriated and
spent for the use Of the city of Baltimore, but,
in my opinion, the main object was the cap
ture and destruction Of the Capitol at Wash
ington. The amount expended by our author
tiles then rcigning, out Of the above approp1i-
alton, is short Of ninety thousand dollars, and
seFeIa1 claiHS ELL 10 pay.

Of worship in New York, where the salaries
are s., COO or 6,co0 peryear, anu the aggregate
expenses nearly double this amount, there is
financial distress. Most Of the pew-holders
are men Of reputcd wealth, but the failures
and losses Of the war exert powerful intln-
ence and fearfufly cripple their resources.
"A Paris correspondent Of the New I oTk
| Hor2d says that an American in that city pro
poses to build steam yesscI for the accom-
modation Of eoDsumptlye patients. The wri-
tersays: A portion Of the year will be spent
in Nice, and when this becomes tircsoue aud
motononous, OF the weather begins to prove
chilly, they will steam away foz Madeira, or
even farther South, as far as the Cape of Good
Hope, and thus tho patients will be kept in q
warm and even temperature continually. Five
hundred francs, or about one hundred dollars
4 month from each patient, will, the protector
thinks, be amply sufficient to pay Q handsome
profit to the managres OF the enterprise, and
he is already in communication with one Of
tie largest naval constructors in France in re-
lation to the matter, and he hopes sometime
during tile coming year to sec launched the
health seeking shin.
