mo CONTRACTOR. AND OTHERS.

Proposals IRE invited until April 18th, inst.
for the leasing for 8 termof; years Of the Alex
andria Canal, including all of its real and other
property, This canal extends from the city Of
Alexandria, Va, to the city Of Georgetown, d.
c., on the north bank-of the Potomac, where it
connects with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The water is from thence conveyed across the
Potomac in a wooden trough and superstruc,,
ture, which Is built, ON; granite rock piers, and
and then by land into.the Potomac at Alexan..
drs. The following descript ton of the piers OF
Ewing, esq., Civil Engineer IAN abutmentis
built against the Chesapeake: and Ohio Canal at
Georgetown. The Alexandria Canal commenc-
ing at this; point is carried across the Potomac
on an aqueduct 1890 feet long. This aqueduct
was located by surveys made in 1881. Of the
eight piers as now built 4 are in water from s.
to 40 feet deep and founded Is to IS feel below
the surface. The abutments and piers were all
built in Golfer dams pumped out and dredged by
steam machinery to the solid rock on which
they are erected in cement and trowel work
from foundation. This laborious construction
was the work of several years. with large
force engaged night and day except during part
of the winter months. The piers are carried up
30 feet above the river surface, and are there
about 10 feet long at base, and II to q feet thick
at the water surface. They are of granite rock
laid in GENE t, and having stood the floods and
drifts for several years, l946la believed to be
of imperishablc material and workmanship u
The cost of the aqueduct, $575, 39l. 43, including
about $50, OoO for the wooden trough and super
structure. The other portion Of the canal, en-
bankmcnts culverts, locks wharyes, ferry at
Georgetown, Sc, cost over $500, 600. The
Alexandra Canal may be properly called the
terminus Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
There was transported of coal alone, over the
Alexandria Canal in 1860, about 300 900 tons,
and the coal trade has largely increased since,
but owing to the war no coal has come over the
Alexandria Canal, for the reason that the aque-
duct has been used by the Government as a
wagon road from Georgetown to Arlington
Parties contracting will be required to place and
keep the canal and aqueduct in order and repair,
and to use the canal and aqueduct for the ,pur;;
poses for whichitwas originally constructed and
no other unless by consent of all the contract
ing parties For further information, such SIS
obligations to be assumed, and conditions to be
complied with, address, or apply in person to

POLICE REPoRT-MAYOR S OFFICE. Geo.
Cross was arrested on yesterday, charged By Fl.
Jacobs with robbing his money drawer The
circumstances pointed strongly towards the ac-
cused as the guilty party, but the evidence not
being conclusive, his Honor was compelled to
''let him slide Cross promised to leave inl-
mediately if his Honor would let him of, which
was readily agreed to, and the last seen Of him
was on the Washington Road, making strides
for the long bridge.
Last night the private Waterman on King
street, near Royal, discovered a man of huge
proportions on the top of the Jewelry store OF
A. Fuchsel. He called to him to stand, and at
the same time fred his destroying weapon at
him, but did mt kill-just grazed him. The
regular watchmeu were on the spot Immediate
ly, but the diigent search of the premises By
the latter failed to ''diskiver' the man
or any traces of him. He had gone in his
hole The impression was that the thief esca-
from the one story house Of Fuchscl, over the
four story dwelling Of Mr.. Ballenger, next door
Two negro men we're arrested yesterday and
sent to Jail for trial at Court for stealing a
car belonging to the Washington and Alexan-
dria R. r. They actually stole the car from the
track, removed the trucks, and broke the wheels
up for sale as old iron. A search was made,
and some iron levers used on the canal locks,
were also found in their possession. We are
coming to pretty state Of affairs by these
depredators.
4. Drlfus, an iron lnonger in the upper part
of the city, wns arrested by the Police, charged
with unlawfuly buying iron, rags, NC, from
minors, which is prohibited in the bonds given
by such dealers. From some circumstances
brought TO the notice of the Mayor, it appear
ed that Drifus was informed OF the THEFT, and
requested to buy the iron if offered for sale,
in order to catch the thief The thief, in this
case, is boy already in Jail, as reported in the
Gazette on Friday last. . .s..s
David Taylor negro, arrested last night on
complaint Of the persons in charge of the gov
eminent wood yard, for disordery conduct, was
discharged.

'HThe junior editor of this paper recognizes
in Major Hambrick an old acquaintance who,
when the war broke out, was clerk in whole
sale hardware house in New York. We now
have pair Of printer shears, eighteen inches
long, which he sent us from New York as q
present, many years ago. He is, it We mistake
not, native of Halifax county, Va. AT least
he resided in thatcounty, when we first formed
his acquaintance. He subsequently located in
Leesburg, N. G. He was at that time, tail
or by tlade-quit the business and studied
medicine while, then abandoned the study
and turned clerk
About the time the war broke out we were
in correspondence with Paul the Apostle
of Radicaism, las we fear, and at that time
he sided with the South. and expressed his de-
termination to return South if Virginia sece-
ded. The war came, but PAUL didn't. The
blockade probably trapped him. From that
time to this we heard nothing definite from
him. During the war vague rumor reached
US that he was surgeon in the Federal army,
but we could not believe that Paul would
willfully prosecute his kith and kin. He had
brother (Lieutenant Colonel j. T.. Hambriek,
now of Davidson county, N. o. in the Con

his bravery and ralantry"

Considerable amusement was afforded to
quite large crowd collected yesterday evening
on King, between Alfred and Patrick streets,
by personal alteration between two men
named respectively Dulany and J4odeski The
latter made a charge with store stooiupon the
former, who repealed the attack vigorously,
driving his assailant rapidly across the street,
striking him in the back with stone, and dis
arming him of his offensive weapon, which he
incontinently smashed against the pavement.
