The Navy Yard of the city j of Washington wa organized and established under an aet of Congress, approved 27th March, ll04, during the 'Admints- tration of Thomas JerTerson, with whom It was a fa vorite5 object of patron a go. It jcontains within iti limijts about 28 acres, and 13 enjdoedon Uireo aides by a high and trong brick Wall the other side fronts on, the Eastern Branch, or Anacostia river. Its entrance i by an arched ga;ewsy on the north, dpsign4 by .the fate Ioj H. jlatrobe. Insnfo of the yard are contained ait .ifco jnocessary. buildings, machinery, and other apparatus for conitrucling ves sels of every description, erected agreeably to the most approved principle! and modem improvements, witbsuitahLo buildings for accom mode ting the offi cers."

In many respects it surpasses almost every . other Yard in the Union. WHy, then, is "tJnVYard' . .: uir'red to fall into decay for want of .national' cn- couragement, anu sutler so many nonest, ipgentous, and industrious mechanics to bo reduced to beggary and want because the Government has filled to ful fil the jur-t expectations of those wko have vested their little all in houses add lots' to meet the wanta of those employed on tho public works ?

He j further de clared (alluding to this attempt) that he had a num ber of agents at his command, seme of whom would be ready to commit mucder, at his diroctios, and for a very small corapeniationj I think; he said fif teen dollars was tho price of a ihao'o (life. It is eworir that he laid oot his plan; wbtch wu; 'to go to Vashington, to take a house ajid wife, and to live iko a gentleman, as he alleged that many persons - were in tho practice of going! to Washiogtoa, and setting up for gentltmen, and being introduced in to genteel society, without kny questions being ask ed. Tho witness (Hicks)0wears to soother convei salieo after the buroing had jbeen perpetrated, in which White admits that be bad accomplished the act, but had made nothing beyond bis expenses I y it ; that be hid ontered by means of false keys, and set fire to the papers. Other witoowos, although,. thoy do not,- bo far aa I beard,! confirm that petitivo estimony as to the admission jof the act, teotily to circumstances which shew that White ia a vary des perate character end leagued with a dangerous set of men, and that nothing but the lack of sufficient inducement of a pecuniary natoro would be a seen, rity against their committing the' most audacious enmes. 1. j. orar.
