OBSTACLES TO NEW BUILDINGS.

delay and extra cost In consequence had been pro-
the two ucksands the site of the Mills Building
is considerable, and many hundreds of piles have
been already driven and many more will yet have
to be sunk. A small spring of running water has
been discovered each site and these will require
parts of the basement wall, but will not, as was
feared compel the abandonment of sub-celar in
the plans Of the buildings.
The excavation for the Produce Exchange has

COLLECTOR MERRITT's ACTION IN REFERENCE TO THE
CITY OF WASHINGTON APPROVED BY THE DIS
TRICT-ATToRNEY.
Collector Merritt yesterday complied with Dis
ton to enable him to act intelligcntly upon Mr..
AlcXandres complaint. General Merritt in his letter
says:
The complaints evidently based upon my refusal Of
clearance to the steamship City Of Washington OF the
Alexandra Line NAV IL last pending the legal term
or ep un
tory stipulation should be entered into.
The letter then mentions several instances of
cigars and cigarettes having been found concealed
on the City Of Washington and says that the mas
ter was informed of the facts. He appeared at the
Of the Treasury for relief subsequently Alexandra
IL Sons were Informed that clearance of the vessel
would not be permitted except upon payment of the
fines, or upon the deposit of the amount pending ap
plcaticn to the Department for reef. May II the
master and Alexandra IL Sons neglected to pay the
fines, declined to execute stipulation and de-
mandcd clearance of the vessel. Acting under
instructions from the Secretary of the Treasury:
under date Of February n, 1851, which provided
for just such cases. the Alexandrcs were Informed
that the City of Washington would not be granted
clearance. They were also told that the Secretary
had tele2raphcd "AllOw steamer City of Washing
ton, Alexandre, Line to clear on payment Of fine
and clearance was refused. On the following day
the amount Of the fines was paid under protest and
q clearance was granted. The letter concludes
lawn the o oo s Of the m na the Ya e
lions OF the Secretary of tie Treasury.
Upon this explanation District-Attorney Wood

Commissioner he says:
Collector Merritt in this case has not wifuy neglected
to 40 or perform any act ind, careful examination,
that he has acted under Interpretation
