CITY INTELLIGENCE.

u S. Circuit Court. This Court, after brief
session yesterday, adjourned over till Thursday
morning next, 10 o'clock,
Baltimore City Court. In this Court, yester-
day, James White, charged with assaultng and
beating John Mitchell, was found guilty and
ordered to pay fine of $40 and costs James
Mcdonald, for assaultng Mary Ann Cruise, was
fined 81 and costs. VIM. II. Watson, charged
with assaultng J. F. Simmonds, was declared
not guilty.
In the case Of Charles Bowen, indicted for as
saultng David Fl. White, with intent to kill,
tried the day previous, the Court delivered
written opinion. This case grew out of an in
jury done the prosecutor, while in the discharge
of his duty as Bailiff under the Court, some
months back. In serving a writ upon the ira
verser, he refused to accompany the officer;
who attempted to compel him, when scutfle
ensued, and the prosecutor received severe
stab in the side. The Court, expressing tho
op;n;on that the traverser did not intend to
take the life of the prosecutor, acquitted him
upon the charge Of intent to kill, but found
him guilty of a second count in the indictment,
charging him with an assault, and ordered him
to pay fine of $40 and costs.
The Court adjourned till ten o'clock this
morning.

unfounded, Mcssrs R. & G. not having bet sin

CoNrLIcr WITH A MAD Doc. The Charles
ton Mercury relates an instance of a narrow
escape from being bitten by mad dog. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Happoldt, of that city, while Of
agunnlng excursion, observing that his dog eX-
hibited strange symptoms, tied it with hand
kcrchief to a saplng, leaned his gun against a
tree, and ate his luncheon few yards off. On
returning towards his gun, he found the dog,
evidently mad, in the act of tearing itself loose
and making at him. Without being able to
reach his gun, Mr.. II. ran into some water
near, and stood on log until the dog having
gone out of sight, he was returning for his gun,
when suddenly dog rushed upon him over
hllock, and he only escaped being bitten, by
Selling the rabd animal by the throat. A
struggle ensued between them for more than
half an hour, requiring the exertion of all the
muscular power of the assailed, while the dog
mangled its own tongue droadfully and cover
ed ii. with foam and blood. He at last sue
ceeded in getting off his belt, putting it around
the dogs neck, and huckling it to the stem of
a small bush, reganed his gun and shot the
dog. Mr. H., though he escaped fortunately
without scratch, was much exhausted, and
the muscles of his arms were swollen from the
exertion for two days after.

DEAD. Mr.. A. S. Wolcott, who was the

lNSOLENCE. An unnalulallZeu foreigner
publishes paper in Boston called the Pilot,
which contains the most abusive and insolent
articles against the native citizens of the Uni
ted States In late number he uses the fol-
lowing language:
"Native courage is a commodity that needs
vet to be proven to exist. The flag of Amer-
ca is not yet seventy years old, and thrice the
NATIVE sons of America have deserted it
Therefore, we advise these copa,dS and sous Of
cowards to boast moderately. As shopkeepers
they are excellent; as merchants, enterprising
and perseverng; as usurers they have no equals
in the world; but as soldiers, EVERY NATIVE
ought to belong to the Peace Society"
1t is thus that this vile slanderer repays the
citizens of this country for their libcrality in
permitting him TO take up his abode amongst
them. He has not been two years in the coun-
try, and yet has the presumption not only to
intermeddle in political matters, but to de-
nounce every native born citizen as Il coward.
Can it be supposed that this man will ever be-
como American in feeling And yet he will
be permitted to become citizen, and to exer-
else all the rights of citizen, in little more
than three years from the present time, or per-
haps, may not even wait so long. Suppose
that an American citizen were to go to Eng
land, publish paper, and charge the natives
of that country with being cowards-would his
press stand an hour after the publication? No.
He would be summarily punished for the out
rage. And it is, perhaps, because the editor of
the Pilot is not thus treated in the United
States, that he thinks the American people de-
fcient in courage. We would not have his
press destroyed, nor his person injured, because
we are convinced that his vile calumnies will
contribute to the results we so much desire, the
extension of the naturalization laws, and the
annihiation of foreign influence in our coun-
try. On these subjects the American spirit is
becoming ehectually reused; and the eAertions
of the American Republicans will never cease
until they have purged the country of an evil
which threatens its destruction. We shall see
whether there does not exist sufficient courage
among our citizens to prevent Europe from
flooding this country with her felons and pau
pers, to be manufactured into American citi-
Zens.

Tur TARIFF. The New York Herald speaks

THE TARIFF. The New York Herald speaks
Of having received private information from
Washington, relative to the policy of tho adj
ministraton which will come into power on
the fourth of March next The opinion is ex-
pressed that the policy will be shaped by MIR.
Calhoun and Mr.. Tyler but we presume that
the new president will choose to think and act
for himself without submitting to the dctation
Of any one. In respect to the tariff, the Herald
expresses the following opinion:
"We have every reason to believe that a
new plan for the modification of the tariff will
be proposed on somewhat similar principle, to
those of Mr.. Clay's famous compromise Bill.
1t may perhaps be proposed that a uniform
duty Of / - or 20 per cent. may be laid on
all foreign commodities, to come into operation
in six months or year, in the place of the
present tariff, and il is supposed that u tariff of
this description would be sufficient to meet all
the expenditures of the government, pay the
present public debt, and be sufficiently protcc-
tive to American manufactures. The present
debt is about twenty-five millions. The surplus
revenue now in the banks, growing out of the
present tariff, is about eleven or twelve mil
lions-nearly one half of the debt The whole
OF tne QeOt is not que LOT fourteen years. II,
therefore, a surplus revenue amounting to only
two millions year to meet these payments ac-
crued, from reduced tariff, it would be quite
sufficient to meet all the purposes of the debt,
and meet also the expenditures Of the govern
mcnt."
We must have better authority than the He
raid furnishes, before we can be induced to be-
leve, that a reduction of duties will be made
as above stated-and it is very certain, that
such reduction would etiectually destroy the
manufacturers and mechanics of this country
We cannot take the authority Of the Herald
on this subject, bat shall prefer to await the
action of the new president and the national
legislature. 1t would be unfair to infer that
the recommendations which may be contained
i'll Mr.. 1yler's next message will express the
sentiments Of the president elect. He will in
due time speak for himself; and, until the ar
rival of that period it will be idle to speculate
upon his probable course of policy.
