Excursion TO kennard'S Landing. The steam
er Maryland, Capt. Taylor, left the wharf on
Thursday morning with about three hundred
and fifty passengers on board for an excursion
to Kennard's Landing. situated on Worten
Creek, Kent county. After pleasant passage
of about three hours the company were safely
landed on the wharf, and proceeded at once ia
MIR. kennard's house, where several tents had
been erected aud seats provided for the occa-
sion. The exercises were Oft varied character
and consisted in part, of addresses from Rev
! Messrs. Jno A. Collins and VIM. Hamilton
| and also by VIM. Underwood, native of Hin.
dos;an, Christian convert The address O
Mr. Underwood was highly interesting He
gave a graphic account Of his country, the
! ldolatry of its inhabitants and of his own con-
version to the Christian faith. At the close of
the address the company partook of an excel
lent dinner, to which they did ample Justice
! At o'clock the bell of the steamer announced
the time for departure, and in few minutes
the boat was under way, when general wish
was expressed for an additional address from
the Rev. Jno. A. Collins, and as an incentive,
collection was promised in behalf of the Ger
man Mission; to promote the interests of which
the excursion had been proposed. Mr. Collins
accordingly arose and spoke for about thirty
minutes, after which collection was taken up
which reached tho snug sum Of $50. The de-
voted Missionary, Rev. Adam Miller, seemed
anxious to lay an extra tax upon his usual good
nature and kindness of heart, to CRAFTY those
who were patronizing his feeble but deserving
Society. The trip yielded profit of about
$3.50 in all, and more agreeable party was ne
yer on the Chesapeake, while the gentemanly
and obliglng department of Capt. Taylor dur
ing the whole excursion was matter of pleasure

Recovery Of W'atch. A gold watch, valued
at $50, which was traudulently gotten posses
sion Of on Wednesday last, by person who
timore street, near Charles, by lodging a cor
ner and evading MIR. BIS son, who had been
sent with the swindler to receive payment for
it, was found yesterday, by Messrs. Hays and
Zell, of the Mercer street firm, in the possess
sion of Levi Benjamin, Pawn Broker, corner
of Harrison and Gay sts., where it had been
pawned for S2s on the same day which it was
lost, by an unknown person. The watch was
recovered under writ issued by Walton Gray,
Esq. and delivered TO the rghtfu owner. The
thief, no doubt, left town soon after commit
ting the fraud. The practice Of buying jewell
ry, SC. without regard to persons or property,
lays pawn brokers liable to be imposed upon
by dishonest persons, and at the same time
gives great facilities to thieves. They can
not be too careful how they buy.
