Mr. Saopden:-The readers of Junius will not
easily concur in the opinion of DR.. Parr, that
"a Mr.. LLOYD, secretary to Lord Grenville,"
could have been the author of that work. The
composition of those celebrated Letters bears
internal evidence of dignity of rank and cha
racter, and of lofty spirit of independence,
totally incompatible with the subordinate sta
ton of private secretary to any Nobleman. In
support of this assertion numerous instances
might be adduced from the work, but perhaps
one quotation may suffice. In his sarcastic re-
py to that contemplate Orange sycophant,, Sir
William Draper,-Junius remarks, 81 might
have hoped that even my name would carry
some weight, &c. &C."
By the way, what fine example OF the be-
nign influence of learning is exhibited in the
correspondence between those two bright scho-
lars DR.. Parr and Charles Butler.
The one, Divine of the Church of England,
deep in Greek and Theology;-a pillar of Or
thodoxy, and duly imbued with holy horror
of Popery: the other an Alumnus of a Jesuit
College, splendid Mathematician, profound
Jurist and the oracle of Lincon's Inn.
Charles Butler rose daily at 5; attended Mass
at the Sandman Ambassadors Chapel, at Z;
took coffee in his law chambers Lincoln's Inn,
at 9; and devoted the remainder of the day, till
8, to the weighty and lucrative duties of his
profession He INDUCED in few antipathies, but
appeared never quite reconciled to the three
graces of DIR. Parr-tobacco, large wigs, and
English orthodoxy. Q.

TO THE PUBLIC.
BANK OF MARYLAND, oath March, 1884.

BANK OF MARYLAND, Oath March, 1884
The Board of Directors of this Institution
have ascertained, with surprise and deep regret,
equal to any that the community will feel, that
the Institution is unable to proceed with its busi-
ness, and they have resolved to transfer all its
effects to trustee, for the equal benefit of the
creditors of the Bank.
The Board of Directors hope and trust that
the assets will be sufficient to discharge the debts
of the Institution; and their determination to
stop it's business at once, is from conviction,
that to continue it longer would be attended with
loss to the community. Their advice to the Gre
ditors, founded upon the best judgment they are
now able to FORM is not to sacrifice their claims.
The debtors Of the Institution will have the pri-
vilege of paying their debts with the notes and
certificates of deposits, and open accounts due
by the Bank; and that alone, they hope, will en-
able the note-holders and depostors speedily to
realize nearly ALL if not the entire amount of
their credits BY order:
r. WILSON, Cashier.

THE WANDERING MINSTREL.

Who. that has perambulated the streets of
London, has not heard Bill Raven advertising
his 'three yards of new and poplar songs for d
hap-ny; and who that has once heard, can ever
forget him-and his voice-for as with Braham,
the man and his voice must ever be associated
Thoughts of Braham naturally inspire recolleC-
tions of voice wild and soft as an Hoan harp
on a summers eve; and, in like manner remi-
niscences of Bill Raven Immediately bring to
mind voice shril and hoarse as penny trum-
pet with sore throat. Through the streets he
goes, struggling TO raise shout, but unable to
give vent 10 any sound above wheeze, with
what may be called his nightmare voice. His
throatSeems to be lined with a wOrSted stocking
There is evidently something out of order In his
vocal organ, or rather his vocal hurdy gurdy.
his wndpipe appears as if it wanted oiling.-
Even now we fancy We can hear him in the
tones of knife grinding machine, granting forth
MS well known cry-"'Ere you as 'em 'ere one
hundred and fifty new and poplar hairs for
hap.ny
But Bill Raven not only deals in the ballads of
me young Bailey, but also in those OF the Old.
Never does the law take its course on misera-
Ole individual, bat the sympathetic Bill is to be
seen crying about the melancholy occurrence
LOT weeks afterwards.
Ere you as it, 'ere the full, true and partl-
Ciar account of the unfortunate individual wot
was hexecrated this morning at the Old Billy,
ior the small charge of one hap'ny." /.
An announcement which doubtlessly startles
some ofthe bystanders, who, as they themselves
say, always thinked as how MIR. Pills Act
made it impossible TO hang body for less nor
ofY shillings." But the best of these-in the
Souole meaning of the word Ketchpennies, is

COMMERCIAL.

Inquiry By the Winchester Virginian-" We
do not understand why Flour should be S. Is
in Alexandria, when it is S. so in Fredericks-
burg We take the prices from the Warrenton
paper"
Answer-Four was quoted in Alexandria at
So rs for the simple reason that So IS was the
actual wagon price at the time; and the quota
ton of SIS so for the Fredericksburg price was,
we presume, caused by inattention on the part
of the Editor of the Warrenton paper, as we
have frequently noticed the quotations in that
paper, both of this and the Fredericksburg mar
ket, continued for weeks without alteration,
when the market had undergone considerable
change-and recently it has required no little
attention to keep pace with the falling markets.
