And thy act which unfettered and babe him be free

Poles. Among the last acts of the City
Council at its late session, was the passage of IL
resolution, requesting the Mayor to have the
various poles, which were erected in this city
during the last political contest, to be taken
down and sold by the police officers, by the Goth
of next month, if they be not sooner removed
by those who caused them to be erected, or by
the owners of property where they are placed
This is perfectly right, for they are not only a
nuisance, but may become exceedingly danger
Gus if permitted to remain. We trust that
they are the last that will ever be permitted to
be erected, as it is an expensive folly which
should not be INDUCED.

SPORTING. The spring meeting over the

attracting much attention among sporting men.
The latter grows in favor as she gets better

Fashion; but when Poytonia was seen the Gods

TRANsiY OF MERCURY. The transit of Nler-
sury over the suns disc, tomorrow, the Sth
instant, will be an interesting phenomenon to
the lovers of astronomy. As the beginning
will also be visible in Europe, at the Cape Of
Good Hope, and in the Eastern part of Asia
it will afford valuable opportunity of deter
mining and testing the longitudcs of places
upon the two Continents. The most essential OBJ
sorvations to be made are, an accurate obscrva-
ton Of the correct ,nean time of the first, Sc
cond, third and last contact, that is, when
Mercury's limb first impinges upon the SUMS
disc, and when the second limb of the planet
is in contact with the suns, or the instant OF
total immersion, and the corresponding Pheno-
mena for the EMERSON. These, should the
weather prove favorable, may readily be noted
by those who possess telescopes of tolerabe
power and the means Of determining their
time accurately.

for Baltimore is from MIR. Downcs' United
