Written in November, 1825. “TVs Crime that stamps disgrace, and not the Scaffold.” Arraigned, and condemned on the scaffold he polished. As Rebel and Traitor ol no light degree; But Erin, with pride be his memory cherished, v He never was Rebel or Traitor to Thee. His heart w as thy own; yea, its cv’ry pulsation Beat strongly for National glory, and thee. He grieved at thy w rongs, thy unjust degradation, And hoped to behold thee, as once thou wert, free. O, Erin! thou ne’er had’st a son who regarded Thy welfare more warmly, more truly, than he, One who selfish«»deas more freely discarded In wishing thee happy ’ncath Liberty’s tree. Just and virtuous, and living for thee, and thee only; France’s aid he but sought to establish thy fame; Believing the Nation, distracted and lonely, Insufficient to win Independence’ proud name. Emmett’s soul was devoted to Freedom and Honour; His young arm was bared in his Country’s cause; For the hand of Oppression lay heavy upon her; And keenly she smarted ’ncath tyrannous laws. The sweet blooming Emerald Isle of the Ocean, Where Nature her picturesque loveliness spreads, Was ravaged by Spoilers, whose every motion, Call’d loudly for vengeance to fall on their heads. Vain, vain was the effort, the sun which rose beaming, Soon set’midst the dense clouds of darkness & blood; And the Oligarch triumphed as patriots lay streaming In gore, w ho so lately with confidence stood, And they who escaped from the battle-field's slaughter Had better have died with the firelock in hand, ' For the mercy they met with was infamous torture.' At the Custle, by creatures of England’s command. Now, Erin, the Conqueror’s chain is cast round thee, Which, galling, in bitten is long thou may’st gnaw; Yet a Prince of thy own in fetters first bound thee, By calling in Henry, who conquest foresaw. Division and treachery has been thy undoing; False Chiefs—Absentees, w-ho resources withdraw: And a Union of mockery, completing tiiy ruin, Leaves a mere empty song of thy ‘*Enix-c,o-iiRAroH!” Had Leaders, deserving thy kernes' fearless brav’ry, As souls of intelligence, guided the mass, [slav’ry; Oh! never would’st thou have been bowed down in Such a barrier of strength, not a foeman, could pass. Yet, Mind marches on.'—thy bonds, Erin, may sever, Then fondly tliou’lt think of thy Emmett of worth: Whilst Custlereagh’s name shall be buried for ever, Or remember’d with pain that he ever had birth.'.'.' • _ F. Y. J description of the suburbs and environs of Da mascus, from travels in Syria and Palestine. “Our next excursion, alter leaving the mosque of the tier vises, was to a small suburb named Salheyah, lying at the foot of the mountains which bound Damascus on the W. and W. N. W. This suburb, or town, is situated at a.dis tance of about two miles from the limits of the city, to which, however, it may be said to be connected by a public road, with a broad paved way in the centre for horses, and a raised cause way on each side for the accommodation of foot passtngers. This road leads through one continued succession of gaidenson each side, with clear and limpid streams, forming alto gether one of the most interesting walks that could be desired. I his place becomes one ol general resort lor pleasure on the last day of every week, when it is crowded with visitois on their way to and from Salheyah, w here it is usual for persons of every age and condition to repair in holiday trim, whenever their health and circumstances admit Numbers of 1 urk ish females, enveloped in white muslin robes, with large head dresses, covered by the ample folds of their outer garment, sat in parties by the way-side, some smoking, others engaged in loud and merry conversation, with satirical re marks on the old or curious among the passen gers, who crowded by, & others amusing them selves and their Children, who surrounded them in groups, and evidently enjoyed the scene as heartily as their mother*. Among the women, l noticed only two who wore the upper gar ments of yellowish white silk with broad red border, so common in the female dress of Na • blons, at which place it is manufactured. With these exceptions, the dress here was universally an ample robe of snow white muslin, with veils of a dark gause,of striped and flowered patterns, the colours chiefly brown and yellow. Most of the females wore their veils down; some, how ever, had their faces wholly uncovered, and =' others partly so; the chief pleasure of all ap rfared to consist in seeing and being seen.— rom the prevailing practice throughout al most every part of Turkey and Arabia, and particularly in large towns, of the respectable females going veiled and none but women of , loose character showing their faces to the world, 1 had conceived that those who sat unveiled by the way side were of the latter description; but we were informed that such was the severity of the govei nment against this class, that spies and informers were paid by the state for their de tection; and that when any were found, they were generally put to death without a hearing or a trial. “The men of the city were mounted, some on horses richly caparisoned, others on fine mules and asses that trotted with a vigour and activity which these animals never exhibited in the West; some were sauntering on foot, as if to prolong the distance of their way, and o thers reposing on the banks that skirted the road, either smoking, playing at chess, touch ing the Armoui guitar to their songs or em ployed in some diversion that proved how gen erally and effectually all parties had abandoned themselves to the sense of luxury and pleasure, in all the various modes in which they had then the means of enjoying it. Nothing was wanting to render this one of the happiest scenes that human beings could witness, ex cept the removal of that sense of insecurity which must necessarily be felt by all who live under a confirmed despotism, where no man can lx assured that his wile, his children, his possessions, or even his existence, shall he ex empt from violation for even an hour beyond the present. “It was about noon when we reached the town of Salheyah, and ascending the hill above it towards the Sheikh’s tomb, or some similar monument, called Kubl-el-Nasr we enjoyed from thence a prospect that was truly en chanting. From this point of view the city of Damascus appeared to extend its greatest length from north to south, being broader at the northern, and tapering, gradually away to wards the southern end Its extreme length appeared to be about three miles, and its ex treme breadth about two. It stands on the western edge of a fine plain, and a level site, having a chain of hills pressing close upon it on the north west, and the plain extending away beyond the range of vision to the east, i The buildings of the city being constructed chiefly of some below and light yellow bricks above, while the principal public edifices are painted in the gayest colours, the aspect of the whole is light and airy in the extreme.-*. 1 he castle, with its outer court and massive walls, and the great mosque already described, both of which are nearly in the centre of the city, look imposing by their magnitude, as seen from hence; and the light and tapering minar ets that rise in every quarter of the town, give a peculiar character of elegance to the whole The gardens that surround the city on the north; the fine olive grounds and long avenues of trees to the south; the numerous villages pressing the skirts of the town on the east, and the great suburb of Salheyah, with the throng ed public way tha* leads to it on the west, ad ded to the sombre but rich and thickly-planted cypresses, the slender poplars, the corn grounds and the rivers and streams, which so abundant ly water the whole, give to this charming spot a character becoming a scene in fairy land, and render it a fit object for the descriptive powers of an Arabian tale—Not far from the spot at which ww halted to enjoy this enchanting view, was an extensile cemetery, at which we no ticed the custom so prevalent among easiern ■nations, of visiting the tombs of their deceased friends These were formed with great care, and finished with extraordinary neatness; and at the foot of each grave was enclosed a small earthen vessel, in which was planted a sprig of myrtle, rtgularly watered every day by the mourning friend who visited it. Throughout the whole of this extensive place of burial, we did not observe a single grave to wh ich this to ken of respect and sorrow was not attached, Sc scattered among the tombs in different quar ters of the cemetery, we saw from twenty to thirty parties of females, silting near the re mains of some recently-lost and deeply-regret ted relative or friend; and either watering their myrtle plants, or strewing flowers over the green turf that closed upon their heads.” From the Hartford Courant. The ancients were weather-wise, and their poets were painters To fill up a column in these dull times, we will state some of their no tions. February was represented by the figure of a man in dark sky color, carrying the sign of the fishes. The month was so called from Februa, the deity of purifications. Aquarious, the wa ter bearer, would have been more appropriate; but that is none of our job. March was painted a tawny and fierce man, with a helmet on his head, leaning on a spade with the sign ol the ram in his right band, blossoms in bis left, and a basket of seeds on his arm. April is drawn a beautiful young man, dressed in green with myrtle and hawthorn round his brow, wings on his shoulders, and prim-roses and violets in his hand. Mayt too, is a youth with a lovely coun tenance in a robe of white and green, embroi dered with blue bottles and dalTadilies—roses round his head, a lute in one hand, and a night ingale perched on the other. June is tricked off with devices appropriate to the month. July is a robust man in a yellow jacket, with a swar thy face, a scythe orr his shoulder, a bottle at his girdle, and a lion by his side. July is re presented as eating cherries. August was pic tured out by the ancients, as a fierce looking youth, with a sickle at his belt, and a victim in his clutch; his head crowned with a garland of wheal, and his arm bearing a basket of fruit.— September is a cheerful man with a coronet of grapes, a cornu-copia, and a balance in one hand, and oats in the other. October has a gar ment of decaying leaves—the acorns are jewels of his coronet, and his hands are filled, one with chcsnuts and the other with Scorpio Novem ber is clothed with a changeable coat, and has turnips and parsnips to sell. Of Decembery the representation was a rough, grim old man, wrapped in furs, with a red nose, and his beard hanging with icicles with a bundle of ever greens on his back, and dragging capricornus into January by the horns What would they say to our climate, and what Proteus of a representative would they elect to represent it? Within even the last three weeks no two days have beeaalike. It rains one day, is many degrees below zero the next—then comes a violent southeaster—answered by a positive northwester—a fall ofsr.ow covers, and but just covers the ruts that were made in the mud a day before—the ice bridge is carried up stream against all precedent—the mails get in on one morning much later, and (thanks to Mr. M’Lean) another morning much earlier than usual, for the gentlemen in that department do their best; and here we have had, on Friday; a day as mild a3 June, and opposite my chamber I heard that morning a bird twittering among the branches, and wondering, perhaps, that there were no leaves among them Such has been the strange variety of our weather. WITTY REPLY. In the first division of Poland, in 1775, the bishopric of Ermland fell to Prussia. 1 lie prince bishop Kraisky, a man of great learning ami wit, soon saw himself honored with tile kings' highest esteem, and was almost every day with his majesty. The king one day said pleasantly to the prince bishop, “Be pleased, when you go to heaven, to take me under your mantle.” Upon which the prince bishop re plied, “Your majesty was pleased to curtail so much of my revenues, and in consequence so much of the lerifrili of my cloak, I much fear that I should not be able to cover you" majes ty’s feet, and should be delected in the act of smuggling contraband goods.” VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. FEBRUARY, 26, Yesterday on motion of Mr. White, a bill “au thorising a loan for the purposes of Internal Improvement” was taken up, discussed, amend ed by the House, and ordered to be engrossed. Mr Blackburn laid the following on the ta ble, which, of course lies one day: Whereas, it appears that a gentleman from Charles City, Robert Douthai , Esq at the last spring election, was elected and returned to this House as one of the representatives from said county, in violation as it is believed of both the spirit and letter of the law, in that case made and provided, passed the — day of— 1810— entitled “an act to suppress duelling.” And whereas it also appears to this House by a reso lution passed on the 17th day of December, dur ing the present session, it became the duty of • lie Committee of Privileges and Elections to examine as well the oaths taken by each mem ber, as the ceruncaies oi election lurmsnea oy Hie sheriff, in order to ascertain whether each member has taken the oaths pfescribed by law, and the time and manner in which they were taken, and make report thereon to the House— And, whereas, it also appears that if the oaths required by law have been administered in this case, ’hey have not been administered in the usual manner, but with some limitations, expla nations or mental reservations, not sanctioned by any thing in the spirit or letter of the oaths themselves, or in the law prescribing them. Resolved, therefore, That this House cannot re cognise the power of any man or set of men in this commonwealth, to limit, dispense with, mo dify or otherwise explain away the oaths by them or any of them severally administered ac cording to law. Resolved, also, That the oath taken by Robert Doutlial as explained and qualified by him, is not the oath of office prescribed by the 3d sec tion of the act to suppress duelling, and after wards transmitted and incorporated into the 3d section of an act, reducing into one the several acts prescribing the oath of fidelity and the oaths of public officers, passed the 7th of Janu ary, 1818, whatever may have been his honest convictions as to the repeal of that law. Resolved, a/so, That the act to suppress duel ling has never been repealed by the General As sembly of Virginia; neither have any of iis clauses, provisions or penalties, been repealed, suspended, abolished or amended by the Gene ral Assembly of Virginia, who alone have power so to do. Richmond* February 28.—It becomes our du ty to notice a horrible catastrophe, which took place in this City yesterday. We shall touch it as briefly as we can; for the case is now in the hands of Justice. James McNaught, Gun smith of this city, (and an admirable one he was,) has been committed to jai! on the charge of shooting Daniel Denoon, his foreman —It io said, that they dined together yesterday, in the upper room of McNaught’s house; the appren tices in the shop then dined; and McN. who had retired alone into another room, contigu ous to the dining room, sent for Daniel Denoon (his foreman,) and as soon as he had entered the room, it is said that McN. shot hint in the abdomen with a pistol; and it is also said that McN. discharged anothei pistol, which gra zed his own cheek, and drew blood. When the persons, alarmed by the discharge of the pistols, enured tne room; they were both found lying on the floor; the unfortunate Dmoon mortally wounded, and McN. not seriously hurt. Denoon lingered for several hours, and died, last evening about 4 o’clock: before his dissolution, he was in the most excruciating agony, hut gave, as it is said, a statement like the above We understand, McNaught de scribes it to h'ave been a duel between them, in which he was wounded and D fell.—Young Denoon wa3 raised as an apprentice by McN ; he was an accomplished workman, and was a bout toset up in business for himself. Differ ent motives are assigned for the act; this a mong others; that McN. was averse to having so skilful a competitor in the same line of bu siness with himself. The impulse is as extra ordinary, as the act attributed to McN. is de plorable. We state all these lumours with the greatest reserve. A court of Justice is the best place fo*- sifting the circumstances.—McN is entitled to a fair examination aud a fair trial. \Ve wish him to have it. We most deeply regret the death of Daniel Denoon, a very promising young man, the hope and the stay of a disconsolate mother. A Coroners’ inquest has been held over the body of the deceased; the jury w* re unani mously of opinion that his death was caused by the firing of a gun or pistol, loaded with bullets or buck shot by the hands of James McNaught. LIBERALITY. It will be recollected that Mr. Jacob Wolf gang, of Fa. was the fortunate owner ofa fourth of the ticket which recently drew one hundred thousand dollars, in the Maryland State Lotte ry. We learn from the York Recorder, that Mr. W. generously gave one thousand dollars to the wagoner who purchased the ticket lor him. Boundary of the United States on the Pacific 0 cean.—On the 31st of January last, the Presi lent of the United States Communicated to Congress, in compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives, of the 18th of that month', a Report from the Secretary of State, with the correspondence with the Bri tish government, relating to the boundary of the United States on the Pacific Ocean. The re port consists of a letter of instructions from Mr Adams, when Secretary of State, to Mr. Rush, whilst the latter was Minister in London; of an extract from a despatch from Mr. Rush, containing an account of his discussions with the British Plenipotentiaries on the subject; protocols of conferences; and of a paper speci fying the conditions, as to the boundary to which the United States would accede, and a paper declaratory of those ip which Great Bri tain would acquiesce. The settlement of our boundary on the ‘Paci fic Ocean is daily becoming more and more im portant. Independently of the expediency of preventing future conflicts, by an early adjust ment of the line of coast over which our go vernment is hereafter to exercise sovereign ju risdiction in that quarter, the claims of those who are engaged in the fur trade, the fisheries, in the traffic with the Indians of that coast, and in the intercourse with the Islands in the Southern Pacific, and with China, demand the earnest attention of our constituted authorities. In a word, the interests of navigation and com merce are deeply involved in the question of national right and jurisdiction in that region. ’rite parties that have had territorial claims on the extreme western part of this continent,• are Spain, Russia, Great Britain and the U nited States. The facts upon which they re spectively rest, are distinctly adverted to in the instructions of Mr. Adams, and the letter of Mr. Rush. This correspondence, however, is no-later than the 12th of August, 1824, and is antecedent to the treaty with Russia, which, although formed at St. Petersburgh on the 17th of April, 1824, was not consummated, by an exchange of ratifications at Washington, until the 11th of January, 1825. By the third arti cle of that treaty, it was stipulated that, here after there should not be formed, by the citi zens of the United States, any establishment upon the North West Coast of America, nor in any of the Islands adjacent, to the north of 54 degrees and 40 minutes of north latitude; and, on her part, Russia engaged that none should he formed by her subjects, or under her authority, south of the same parallel of lati tude. The claim of Russian sovereignty, con sequently, may be regarded as having been vir tually quieted, and fixed at the latitude of 54 degrees 40 minutes north. By the third article of the treaty with Spain, of the 22d of February, 1819, the boundary line between her former possessions and those of the United States, is described by the Sabine, the Red River, the Arkansas, and latitude 42 degrees north, to the South Sea, or Pacific ocean To this arrangement it is understood the new government of Mexico has made no objection, and is willing to conform. All.the territorial rights of Spain, nor'h ot latitude 42 degrees north, have, therefore, been transferred to the United States. The Spanish and Russian claims having been thus amicably settled, there only remains the conflicting claims of the United States and Great Britain. The right of the United Slates to territory on the north-west coast rests upon that of Spain, which, as far as actual discovery could give it, was prior to the right of every other nation; upon the entrance of the Colombia river, and the name given to it, by Captain Gray, an A merican citizen; upon the exploration of the same river, over land, by Captains Lewis and Clarke; upon the settlement of Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia river; under the pro tection of the United States; and upon the re storation of that establishment, as an American possession, in 1818, by Great Britain. According to the letter of Mr. Rush to Mr. Adams, the British Plenipotentiaries opposed the claim of the United States upon grounds extremely vague, and entirely unsatisfactory. They adverted to the navigation of Drake and Cook in that direction, to trading posts said to have been formed in several places with the consent of the Indians, and insisted that the un occupied parts of the North West Coast were as open as they had ever been for the formation of new settlements The leading object of each party has been to gain the sovereignty of the country through which the Columbia river and its tributary streams pass. The pretensions of Great Bri tain, from the feeble manner in which her ne gotiators were enabled to support them, amount in reality, to nothing more than the occasion at excursions oi ner iraurrs among me mm ans, and such transient fixtures as were neces sary to their comfort for the moment. These cannot he ultimately sustained against the right of the United States, founded, as it is, upon the surveys of the shore, up to a very high north ern latitude, by the first European discoverers of America: upon the examination of the mouth of the Colombia by Captain Gray, and the na tional expedition of Lewis and Clarke, from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. If Great Britain had not considered AstoriH, on the Columbia, which had been taken by her a gent during the late war, as a part of the terri tory of the United States, she would hardly have restored it in 1818, in fulfilmentof the stip ulation in the first article of the treaty of Ghent. To comprehend the subject more fully, the reader will understand, that, by the third arti cle of the convention between the U. States and Great Britain, of the 30th of October, 1818, the country and waters in dispute were, for the space of ten years, to be free and open to the vessels, citizens, and subjects, of the two pow ers. Mr. Adams, in his instructions to Mr. Rush, laid it down as a basis of negotiation, that the application of colonial principles of exclusion could not be admitted by the United States as lawful, upon any part of the North west Coast of America, or as belonging to any European nation. This basis is assumed upon ihe fact of the independence of the American nations, the rights of territory surviving to them, and the necessity there will be for room (or the accommodation of their future popula tion. Mr. Adams viewed it as a necessary con sequence of the existing state of things, that, henceforth, the American continents would no longer be subject to colonization. He instruct ed Mr. Rush to propose to the British govern ment an article similar to the third article of the convention of the 20th of October, isig and, with a view to draw a definite line of dc markation for the future, to stipulate that no settlement should hereafter he made on the Northwest Coast, or on any of the islands there to adjoining, by citizens of the United Stmcs north of latitude 51, nor by British subjects either south of 51, or north of 55. Lati tude 51 is the degree at which the United States arc willing to limit their future settle ment, it being understood that the Columbia river branches that far north As, however Mr. Adams observed, the boundary line already ran in latitude 49 to the Stony Mountains, Mr. Rush was authorised, should it be earnestly in sisted on bv Great Britain, to consent to car ry it, in continuance, on the same parallel, to the sea. Mr. Rush, eventually, submitted to the British plenipotentiaries a paper proposing the continuance of the third article of the con vention of the 20tb of October, 1813, for a fur ther term of ten years, and limiting British set tlements within the latitudes dfsi and 55 north. The British plenipotentiaries also submitted a paper, proposing to annul the stipulation of the third article of the convention in question, and to substitute, as a boundary line, from the Rocky Mountains, the 49th degree of latitude, to the point where that parallel strikes the great north-easternmost branch of the Oregon or Columbia river; thence, down along the mid dle of the Oregon or Columbia, to its junction with the Pacific ocean; the navigation of the whole channel to be perpetually free to the ci tizens aticl subjects of both parties; no settle ments to be made by either party within the limits assigned to the other; settlements alrea dy formed to continue to he occupied, at the pleasure of the proprietors, for *en >ears; and, for the same period, citizens and subjects to pass and repass, as heretofore, by land and wa ter, to trade aa formerly, without duty or im post,subject only to the local regulations which, in other respects, the parties may find it neces sary to enforce within their respective jurisdic tions. From this exposition of the American claim and the British pretension, it will be seen that the main point of difference between the Uni ted States and (ireat Britain, cn this subject, is, that the former are willing to continue the boundary line along the 49t!i degree of northern latitude to the Pacific Ocean, while the latter wishes to pursue that parallel no further than where it will strike the great north-eastermost branch of the Oregon or Columbia, and then to follow that l iver to the sea, retaining for British subjects, in common with American citizens, the free navigation of the whole channel of the stream. At this stage of the negotiation the further prosecution of it appears to have been suspended. In the correspondence between Mr. Adams and Mr. Rush, it is gratifying to perceive that the territorial rights of the country were main tained with a full knowledge of particulars, and with great ability in argument.

AI.KXASllKR. To Way, Public* It is not for me to boast the that the New Line Citi Coacli, at a fare of $2, has vith encouragement over the One Dollar Accommodation Lines, equal to the ex pectation I had formed of a liberal and considerate pub lie; and I would be wanting in respect to myself and to those who have given me their so decided countenance did I not express to them my warm thanks for tiic en couragement they have afforded. A long address from the proprietors of the would b s ** Monopoly," published in the Ualtimore Gazette of the 24th inst. will have been read by such of mv fellow townsmen, and others as may have had .sufficient spare time t<r give it a perusal, to which in all probability, a short matter of fact notice to the public, signed Jnol H. Barney, may have drawn their attention. Feeling niv selfalso attacked by tlie gentlemen in question, I think it incumbent on me to make the following statement, bv way of answer, and crave the indulgence of my friends and the public, for the trespass upon their time and patience; viz: under date of the 10th Feb. Messrs. Itanium, Davis, Smith, St Co. gave notice that the fare in their Accommodation Lines of Stages to Washing ton and Georgetown (except the mail) would, on the next day, be reduced to one dollar. In order that the public may be fully able to appre ciaic uie generous motives, nocrai disposition, ami disnt tercstedness that impels the conduct of the lirni above mentioned, I feel myself justifiable in communicating some facts, which, however it may not please those gen tlemen, it may be well to shew the comparative preten sions of the adverse Lines, that they should be known, viz: on the first and second days of the present month, Mr. David Barnum, President of the Old Washington Stage Company, called at my office, and after some prefatory remarks, complained of the reduced price at which they were then carrying passengers to and from Washington and Georgetown, and asked me what I thought of raising the fare to the old price—the next evening he made another call, when he proposed a con solidation of our respective Lines, with an advance in the fare to $3 50—To this consolidation f objected; lie then stated that if no arrangement was made by us, that they (the Old Company) would reduce tlieir price to 1 dol lar—now the inference is plain; you must join us, and nearly double the fare, or we, Barnum, llavirf, Smith & Co’, will so reduce the price as to run you off the road, and wc will rcsitwie our usual monopoly. Such arc the men, and such the disposition of those I am in collision with, and it remains for me to make a remark that cannot be contradicted by those gentlemeh. It is well known, and unfortunately too true, that unless a stage is filled to and from Washington and Georgetown every day, the fare not exceeding f2 each passenger, proves a losing business; notwithstanding which, I am willing to continue the Citizens’Coach at that rate, an J take my chance for a full load; and I ain flattered in the. belief, that a vast proportion of the travelling comnin nity would .rather, us has already been evinced, flccctic to my charge than tolerate a mammoth monopoly, and subject themselves, by the extirpation of the New Fane Citizens’ Coach, to a future, and very probably, a great- ' er imposition than has heretofore been practised. _ F’he Citizens’ Coach-runs as usual, leaving the Foun tain Inn, Light street, at 9 o’clock, A. M. and arrives at Washington to dine—returning, leaves Mr. Joseph Semmes’ Hotel, Georgetown, at 8 o’clock, and the of fice between Messrs. Williamson and Tennison’s Ho tels, Washington, at 9 o’clock, A. M. and arrives at Baltimore to dine. Fare $2 S. J. THOMPSON, Agent for March 2,—4t J. v. THOMPSON
