REORGANIZED.—The work of reorgap! and consolidating the divisions the Seere- tary’s office, Trersury Department, was com- pleted to-day, and the fourteen divisiuns hereto- fore in existence have been consotidated into une. as follows: 1, Appointments, H. . Revenue Marine, and Marine Hospitals, S. Warrants and Warehouses, G. F. chief. 4. Collection of Customs, II. B. James, chief. Custom Appeals, Remission of Fines, Pen- alties. &e., D. Lyman, chief. 6.

Stur- tevant, chief. ‘The divisions consolidated with others are the law branch, W. !". Clark, chief; warelous: Mr. Goddard, chief; tiles, J. A. Lovejoy. chiei and printing, J. F. Meyers, chief. All of these gentlemen, however, retain positions in the de- partment, and will be assigned to duties in con- nection with their former divisions. ‘Tue IMPROVEMENT OF THE PoToMAc.—The river and harbor appropriation bill of the last session contains @ clause appropriating $50,000 for the improvement of the Potomac river be- tween the Long Bridge and Georgetown, and Gen’l Miehler, engineer in charge of public buildings and grounds, has deen instructed by Gen'l Humphreys, Chief of the Engineer Corps, to prepare plans, estimates, &c., forthe work. Gen'l Michler is now engaged in their prepara. tion, and will submit them to Gen’l Humphreys for approval. About two years since a survey of the Potomac river was made, with « view to its improvement, and Geni Michler, who had charge of the work then, recommended that the causeway of the Long Bridge should be removed on account of its injurious ettects to the Washington channel, and be replaced by a roadway upon piles; that the bar in the Virginia channel should be dredged to a depth of twelve feet and a widtu of two hundred feet, and the Weshington chan- nel be deepened to the same depth wherever needed betwi he bridge and the mouth of the Eastern Branch; also, that a new ent should be made between Hasby’s wharf and the Mary- d draw of the Long Bridge to restore the for- mer navigable conditicn of the river, and that ihe obsiructions in the vicinity of Easby’s Point should be removed. The estimated cost of these improvements Was $15,000, but of course it will be impossible to carry out this plan under the appropriation of $50,000. General Michier will report his views, as to the best manner of expending the appropriation, to General Humphreys, and as soon as determined upon the work of improving the channel will be commenced. . Vanderbilt chief. ConcGREssioxnaL Mosxuments.—The Clerk o the House of Representatives has awarded the contract for erecting 20 obelisks in the Con gressional Cemetery to the memory of deceased members and Senators to Mr. Richard Rothwell of this city at S115 each. These monuments are to be of Virginia free stone and similar t> those already erected in the cemetery. Befure the war the cext of them was Tax Wak ix Cvna—Two members of the Cuban Junta, who have recently visited this city, say the war in the island is not over, but will be renewed as soon 4s the hot season is ended.
