The day after Christmas is known in London
as "Boxng-Day." 1t is a holiday which has
grown up within few years The London

the year would oVerstock the market. AT that
date the coal tonnage OF the Company was

the capacity Of the rolling stock to be equal TO

100000 tons OF other freight.
The three large and commodious wharVes

been made to the rolling stock, real estate, new
branches to mines, sidings, etc, the details of
which are elsewhere given.

Vious reports, the railroad of the Union Canal

tion of the Lorberry and Good Spring Railroads,
already owned by this Company, together with
the right of way over the line OF the old canal
and reservoir, distance of twelve miles south
wardly from Pine Grove towards Lebanon.
The large quantities of railroad iron required
tOT repairs and extensions, together with the
great importance of having the best quality of
rails, have led to the decision to erect rolling
mill of sufficient capacity TO supply our own
wants, and arranged conveniently for the
manufacture of steel rails from time to time, as
required.
The liability to interruption of the traffic,
and to accident, arising from the constant
taking up of the track to replace defective rails,
and the consequent expense, is very great which
il is believed can be materially diminished by
the means now proposed.

There will be twenty-nine vacancies in the
House ON the 4th OF March, from the States of
California, Connecticut, Kentucky, New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. New Hamp-
shire has her election on the second Tuesday OF
March, and will send three Republicans. Con
nectlcut elects four members (probably all Re-
publcans) on the first Monday in April. On the
1irst Wednesday in April Rhode Island chooses
two Republicans. Kentucky has ordered
special election on the 4th of May, and of her
nine members not more than two are likely to
be Republicans. The Tennessee election regu-
larly occurs on the first Thursday of August,
and owing to the unsettled policy of the State
regarding suffrage, an earlier day is not likely
TO be appointed. Her members are now equally
divided as Republicans and johnson men. On
the first Wednesday in September, California
chooses three members, all Republicans. There
Is also a vacancy in the New York delegation
occasioned by the elevation of Roscoe Conkline
to the Senatorship. No special election has YET
been ordered but there is no doubt of the cleo
ton of a staunch Republican to Mr.. Conkling's
seat in the House. Members now chosen stand

NORFOLK, March 2.-The feeling of indigna-
ton among many of the citizens OF Norfolk,
which was suddenly aroused by the arrest of
the five magistrates of the Corporation Court,
who had held highly creditable position in
the community, has quietly subslded, and an
entire acquiesceECe in the decision OF Commis-
sioner Foster is manifest throughout the city,
The journals of the city, somewhat uneXpect-
edly, haveA abstained from that bitter spirit
which usually characterlzas the Southern press
when questions have arisen respecting the rights
of certain acts of the present Congress, aud have
seemed content with descanting upon the
character OF the almost unknown complainant
in the case, j. E. Jones, who made the deposit
tion before the United States Commissioner.
The opinion of Commissioner b. b. Foster,
which was read yesterday morning at the dual
hearing of the case, is spoken OF very favor
ably by even the most bitter enemies OF the
bill; and the local papers award to him an i'm
partlality which they hardly expected under the
grave nature of the ohense.
The Commissioner in his opinion said:-

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

Arrest of Horse Thief-The Negroes OF
Yorktown to he Removed for the Pur-
poses of Employment.
FORTRESS MONROE, March 2.-The keeper of a
livery stable, named Brown, was arrested in
Portsmouth yesterday by Marshal Croft, on a
charge of stealing four valuable Government
horses, and substituting q similar number of
worthless animals in their place. A number of
horses, on their way to North Carolina were
placed in his stable over night, and the next
morning, when the transaction was discovered,
Brown was arrested and held to bail to appear
before the United States Commissioner.
The Freedmen's Bureau at Washington, has
become impressed with the necessity for the
adoption of measures to relieve the surplus
colored population of Yorktown, by removing
them to more distant points, where they will be
compelled to obtain work in farming lands,
where their labor may be wanted. This has
created excitement, and it was rumored that
they would resist. The military authorities des-
patched patrols, to be on hand in case Of any
disturbance, and no trouble is expected.
