The distinguished lion of literature, Charles
Dickens, accompanied by his beautiful LADY, arrived
in city yesterday afternoon from Philadelphia.
They put up at the United States HOTEL Pratt street,
and tarried only until four o'clock, we ~
again took the cars for Washington city. During
the iatsrim, Bsz" paid visit to Barnsm's ho-
tel. looked at the battle monument, cast his eyes
around for a brief space upon some Of our noble
edifces, beautiful girls fashionable sti eets, &c.,
when he repaired TO the depot. had the enviable
satisfaction Of seeing his beautiful phiz. He is by
no means unlike Charles H. Pitts, Esq, a distin
guished and talented young member of the Balti-
more bar, with the exception that he is not hand
and a remarkably intelligent countenance So
brief was their stay, that very few persons had An
opportunity Of seeing them.
Samuel Brady, Mayor Of our city, resigned his
is the second resignation rendered by Mr.. Brady
within the past two months. He did not assign
his reasons but they are pretty well understood to
be the want OF harmony between his opinions and
Esq, President Of the first branch Of the Council,
is at present Mayor ex officio, and will continue
to preside until the special election, which takes
place on the Slst inst.
Finally, and At last, the long agitated and vexed
qussrio. Of the reaamPtion Of specie payments by
the baAks Of Maryland has been settled. 1t has
passed both branches ofths Legislature, and is now
law, there being no veto power with the Cover

vides for resumption on the first Of May next allow
ing the banks to issue small notes until Decembs +
lS42, redeemable on dsmand in specie This move
seems to give satisfaction to all parties, and will
have the banks prompt aequiescence. The bill
for imposing tax on salaries has been rejected by
the Senate.
A bill was also passed one branch of the CITY
Coaecil, laying tax Of one dollar on every hun

Another large meeting was held last nixht in
Monument square. The spokesman had become
hoarse in the service. He took upon himself the
resPonsibilit, Of dominating a candidate for the
Mayoralty, which was responded to by one from
the crowd. stating that the proposed candidate was
"whsle hog, all but the tail and bristles."
Yankee Hill is dispensing his eccentricities at
the Hciliday HE wit may do foi some, but it is,
in my humble opinion, very trashy.
Tne court martial at Damam's is likely to be in

others. --''s
