CORPORATION FINANCEs-EON PAYMENT
OF THE JANUARY INTEREST
The declination of the financial officer Of the
Corporation, to pay the January interest due
On the Corporation stock, is matter OF much
comment, and has caused some excitement
among the bondholdors. We learn that the
suspension is temporary and the deficit in the
finances, which leads to it, Is caused by the
non receipt Of large amount Of taxes due on
property which has been for some time and is
at present used and occupied BY the u. s.
military also on account Of the absence of a
number of large property holders, from whom
no taxes have been collected for some three Or
four years, and further from the fact that most
of the taxes that have been paid in were i'll
Corporation due bills, that were out, and which
We understand, it is mot the intention of the
Finance Committee to put in circulation aga1h.
The amount of these due bills out is being
rapidly absorbed ia this way, and will therefore
soon cease to be a cause OF embarrassment 10
the corporation. The interest due parties
holding the stock is credited upon their taxes,
and 10 this way considerable amount OF the
Interest will be paid as much larger part OF
the Corpor alton debt is due our own citizens.

The LATE FAIR AT ST. IARY's HAIL.
The following is an extract from the Alexan-
dria Correspondence Of the Baltimore CuAto-
lie Mirror of Saturday last:
"A Fair was opened by some Of our energetic
ladies, on the 9Th instant, and though the
weather was, during much Of the two week ks
they kept it open, very cold or otherwise un-
seasonable, the hall, having an area Of over
1900 square feet was so crowded from night
to night that it Was very difficult to pass from
one table to another, and hundreds had 10 60
away without even getting into it.
The returns are about as follows:
Table No |, Miss MGrath 81, 500

Door receipts Exclusive Of season tickets
which were sold by the tables Capt.
Joseph G.. Moore, for first seven nights, 357
Door receipts, Mr.. Isaac B. Lovejoy, for
last FIVE nights, with reduced price sc
Total ~ Jag
From this amount the expenses are to be de-
Quoted, but | think it will be admitted chat
the ladies have been uncommonly successful.
Father Kroes, the pastor of St. Mary S, III
mentioning the result to the congregation on
the 18th, took occasion, after returning his
thanks to the ladies and others who had as
sisted in getting up, and conducting the affair,
to include, especially, the soldiers, who were
exceedingly liberal on the occasion, expressing
the qualification he felt, that the attention
cheerfully bestowed upon their spiritual wants
bv himself and the other clergy Of St. Mary's,
since the beginning Of the war, and their graf
uitous labors in the hospitals, &c., had been
gratefully remembered by the recipients Of
those attentions and their comrades He also
took occasion, in the same connection, public
" TO return his thanks and those Of the con-
gregatioa to the Military Governor, Gen. John
?. Slough, for the many favors received from
him during his entire administration and, in
particular, for his appointment of guards tor
the Fair, through whose exertions the best
order was maintained during the entire time.
He alluded incidentally to the state Of affairs
existing when the General took command Of
