reprInand. The Court not considering
the annnlIing the proceedings as dissov-
ing them, came back in reply to the
Commander in Chief, doubling his au-
thority to reprimand them,, &c. all in a
style that gave the Commodore great Of
fence, so much so, that he has suspended
the whole Court and, understand, IN
tends sending them home under arrest.
The Court consisted OF Capt. Macdon-
ough. as President Captains Ballard,
Nicholson, Gallagher, and Page, men,
bers."
"a frigate has been standing into Bal
timore which may be one OF our squad
ron from the Mediterranean, with the d.
bove officers.
ALondon paper OF the Sd June, speak
ing ofthe rumor OF the cession of Cuba
to England, says--"lt might be desira-
bic, indeed, on the one hand, TO com
mand the entrance Of the Gulf Of Mexico,
but it is to be apprehended that the island
would prove a burden, instead oi source
of profit, and that the property in our
West India Islands would be deprecated
by it, in which case there will doubtless
be strong opposition to it in this coun-
try"
With regard to the affairs Of Spain,
the same paper Says" The colonies,
which arc fast slipping out of her hands,
she uses every effort to retain, and is
worn out with the struggle the PRAYER
Of her well wishes ought to be, that she
NAV get rid Of them as soon as possible,
in order to turn her attention toydomes-
TIC affairs, which were never surely in any
kingdom in a worse condition. The
Cadiz expedition is almost as near the
time of sailing now as it was eighteen
months ago."
Pway.--Joml jenny was arrested On
Saturday last, and carried before Mr..
Parker, who, in the absence ofthe Attor-
ney OF the L. States, committed him for
examination, and yesterday caused him
to be carried before the Hon. John Davis,
District Judge. 1t appeared On The tri-
al that Jenny had confessed IN the hear.
ing of several witnesses, at different
times, that hc was one of the crew of the
Bueios Ayrean pyiyatcer Louisa, who
rose upon the officers, put theIo out OF
the Louisa, and afterwards landed at the
Isle of May, committed robbery there,
and sundry acts OF piracy on the high
seas Afterwards the louisa mrived off
Charleston, and Jenny and some others
left the louisa aud got on board coast
cr, and arrived at Savannah, where one
Of them turned States evidence, and Jen-
ny, among others, was committed to
prison. After some confinement they
broke gaol, and Jenny went by land to
Georgetown, where, having some quar-
rel with the Captain with whom he -irst
shipped, he jumped overheard, swan a
miIe or two, got on board the sloop
Friendship, and arrived in Boston last
"Wednesday. These facts were disclosed
by him in sundry conversations with diff.
fcrent individuals, particularly to Captain
Isaac a. Adams, to whom the public is
indebted for his arrest and also TO DR..
Welsh, at quarantine ground. Judge
Davis committed Jenny as for capital
offence. Dos. Paper.

TIME board Of trustees Tor Charlotte Hall
school deem it their duty to announce
to the yubllc, the present Furnishing con
dition of this institution. Since the intro
duction of the present professors, the sch"oi
has rapi lily progressed in the public esu-
nation.
When Philip Briscoe, esq. was called 10
assume the office of Principal, there were
but 81 pupils. The liberality of the State
Legislature of 1877, enabled the trustees to
retain his services and those OF Mr.. MIN
more for the classical depsrtment-the he
verend MIR. Neale III. Shaw has also been
retained as professor Of mathematics, ana
he is aided in that department by Fir.
Sueetsee, gentleman in high estimation
as professor. Under The management OF
these gentlemen the school has now 20
boys; aud very many applications have al
ready been made for entrance and board.
Heretofore portion of the boys have been
compelled to board at the neigbborlng hou
ses at too great distance from the school;
the trustees are now making arrangements
which will enable fifty boys more to be ac-
commoda,ed immediately al the school; So
that at all times the Principal will be ena'
bIed TO exercise general suprrntendance
over their moral department to the corruP-
ton of which, the boys in this retired VII
Iage have but few temptations). The
board will remark to those who are unac-
quainted with this place, hat no part OF
MARYLAND is more distinguished Tor its ge-
neral healthiness. The price of board is
only loo dollars year. The tuition is
now hut pa dollars year! 1t will be rails
ed after Augustto 80 ''ollars--a price much
lower, however, than any of the public
schools of our state.
1t is intended then by the trustees to Sc
lect four boys (of poor and INDECENT pa
rents) of promise, and 10 board, ciothe,
and educate them entirely at the expense
of the institution, and afterwards 10 labor
to procure them that station to which Their
talents and conduct may entitle them.
