The Potomac. MANUFACTURING Com
pANY, which for the past three years has
alternately raised and lowered the hopes Of
MANY of the citizens of Alexandria by its
promises to commence the manufacture of
iron, &c, on large scale, but which has
invariably failed to fulfil one of these prom
Uses, it is believed by many, has entirely
collapsed. Mr.. Goss, the president OF the
concern, was in the city Thursday, and dur
ing his short stay removed Mr.. John Had
lev, who for some time has had charge OF
the works. 1t is understood that the other
employees will also be discharged at once,
the company admitting that it will be some
time before anything will be done at the
works. The cause assigned for the remov
ais is for the purpose of curtailing expenses.
1t is probable that at the next meeting Of
the City Council q resolution will be intro
duced and adopted requiring the company
to show its hand and let the city know what
it intends doing, as the agreement which
was entered into between them requires it
20 put into operation its project or forfeit
the rights and privileges granted by the
city. This resolution was TO have been in
troduced at the last meeting of the City
Council tut a postponement was asked ny
the company Till the 25th inst, Tuesday,
when it was said full statement of it's
affairs and intentions would be made. 1t is
repo,ted on he streets that one of the rea-
sons assigned for the collapse was the elec-
ton of Cleveland and Hendricks.!.
THE OYSTER TRoUBLEs.-Captain Il. 4.
RAYMOND. OF the oyster sloop Jeanette,
whose vessel, with Capt Richard Courtney's

before the Governor and Legislature. He
was told that the State rould look into the
matter and project him, end that he need
not go to the expense of employing lawyer
The matter was brought up in the House o.
Delegates Yesterday, when Mr.. Stuart, OF
this city, offered the following:
Resolrcd by the House Of Delegates (the
Senate concurring), That the Governor be
and is hereby requested to take such steps
forthwith "a are necessary to protect cltl-
zens of the Commonwealth dredging in the
Potomac river from arrest and prosecution
hv the State of Maryland.
This was unanimously agreed to.
Mr.. Stuart then argued in favor of bill
to employ counsel to go to st. Mary's
county, Maryland, to defend the Virginia
dredgers there detained. The bill was
placed on the calendar, but was subsequent
ly ordered to its engrossment, paying coun-
sci 5000.
