From the [Bait.] American. We are happy to announce the final amicable adjustment of the long pending difficulties between the Canal and Rail Road Companies. It will be seen below that at the adjourned meeting of the Canal Stockholders in Washington, on the 9th instant, the Compromise Law, and the arrangements effected between the two Boards under it, were agreed to by a decided vote. The arrangement has now the sanction of both parties, and its acceptance was doubtless transmitted to the State Executive yesterday in due form.
