ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGIsLATURE.-The
Legislature of Maryland finished its session on
Saturday last. Through the obstihacy OF the
Senate, in persisling In their rejection OF the
Assembly Bill, the State is left another year
without any provision being made for an ade-
quate revenue to defray its expenses.
ESCAPE FROM PRrsoN.-Eight of the prison
ers confined in the Baltimore county Jail, escap
ed from confinement last night. Their names
John Stewart, w. G. Washington, John Ham
iton, William Ward. Samuel Thompson alias
Charles Lamotte, William Hessington, Burr
Bladen, and one whose name we have not learn
ed.
We are informed that they effected their es-
cape BY saving assunder the bars of window
by means of saws and other implements for the
purpose, which were concealed in the lining Of
the Coat uf one of them, and that there is eve
ry indication that the instruments were placed
there when the csat was originally made. AZ
ter escaping from the Jail they assembled the
yard wall by means of blankets, and descended
from it near the gate.
Yesterdays American says: We learn that
Thomas Ward, the mail robber, and Samuel
Thompson, two OF the criminals who escaped
from the Jail on Friday morning, were arrested
on Saturday, on the Washington turnpike,
near Elk Ridge, by those vigilant officers Tho

thousand dollars. II consists chiefly Of domes-
tic cotton goods, much the larger portion Of
which has been made at The manufacturing es-
adjustments in the vicinity Of Baltimore, Mr..
John M. Finley has the charge Of this valuable
concern.-.Anerican.
We have seen letter from Annapolis, ex-
planatory of the motives Of the Senate in re-
iec,ing the supplement 10 the charter OF the
company authorized to make rail road to
Washington, which states that The views Of that
body, in making the amendment to the law in
the first instance, as also in its rejection of
the supplement, arose frum belief that the
great travel Of the road would render i, neees-
sary for the company to reduce the tolls so low
that the rates would be, ultimately, not more
than miRper mile Chronicle.
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH IA.
The appointment OF Mr.. James N. Barker TO
the office Of Collector Of the Port, was quite
unexpected here but it has, so far as we can
learn, given general satisfaction to the mer.
chants and the public, without distinction Of
party.-GazeKe
Winter has returned, but clear and bracing
so salutary and beautiful, with the vernal sun,
that we must almost regret to part with it
again.-Nai. Gazette.
New YoRK, MARCH IA.
DISSERTATION OF TEMpLr.-It would seem
that, SO far as il regards this city, the time spo
ken Of in the Apocalypse has arrived, and that
Satan has, in good earnest, been loosed for a
little season. In other words, we understand
that small Baptist Church, in the upper
part of the city has been purchased by Miss
Fanny Wright and her followers, and is to be
dedicated by them 10 the worship Of the God,
Gess Of Reason-in other words desecrated and
set apart for the service of Beelzebub Miss
Fanny is the priestess, and may, be likened to
the "Scarlet Lady," mentioned in the same
book to which we have referred.
"see round her lips the ready devils fly,
Nix with her words, and bask beneath her eyeW
What rites are to be observed on the occasion,
we have not been informed, but shall endea-
vor to procure copy Of the programme, for
the edi6cation Of our readers
