CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The Lancaster Fucmen. The Union Fire
Company Of Lancaster, Pa. arrived in this city
last evening, about O'Clock, by the way Of
York. They are fine looking body of men
and number about forty. They bring with
then one oftheir Hose Carriagcs--a very pretty
piece of apparatus Ga their arrival at the
Depot they were received Ivy the Lafayette
Hose and Mechanical Fire Company, together
WIN Il large tcIt 1dlOli nun tllS various
MES in the city, and escorted to their qnarleIs.
After dvcstlng themselves of their baggage, sc.
they proceeded to Logan Hall, Fell s Point,
where they partook Of u sdmptuous cntcrtan-
ment on invitation Of the Lafayette Hose
Company. The vsitcrs are under command
of John ]. Dutchman, Esq. The escort was I'M
usually large, and, with the excellent music Of
the Gieys band, formed quite an imposing as
prct as the line marched with gliltering appara-
tus and lighted torches, over thin layer of
snoW--it having ceased falling. The vlsters

sudden DEATH Mr.. Lydo Goodwin, a gen.
tleman spcctahIy'known in this city, died
suddenly on Tuesday evening, while visiting
friend in Rlddie street Medical aid was imme-
dia,ely called, but the vital spark had fled
This sudden calamity was produced by an af-
lection Of the heart. His corpse was removed
to his residence in Green st.
4 Proiecito Erect a ,Nec ,Mukd House. We
are informed that the citizens of the eastern
section OF the city have 1t in contemplation to
petition the City Councils, at their next session,
for the purchase OF the square of ground bound :
ed by Bond ST. on the cast, strawberry alley on
the west, McElderry s.. Oh the north, and Or
leans st. on the south, for the purpose of erect
ing thereon new aud C1mmodIous market
house 1t is believed that the great improve.
mcnt and the rapid increase Of the population
Of this region require something of this kind.
The principal reason for thus selecting thus site
as the most chgibIe location Isl that it is near
ly cquidstant iiom the Belle Air market on
the one side, and the FclI's Point Market on
the other; and another, and perhaps equally
weightp reason, is found in the fact that as vet
there is but one house erected on the lot. if,
therefore, tho Councils think proper to comply
with the request of the petitioners, it would
be cYpGdlCnt TO commence as soon as practical
bic the accomplishment OF this project; because
if ii be delayed any length Of time, SO great a
number of houses will have been erected and
the value of the lot consequently so enhanced,
that the city would not pay the sum demand
ed, even if they could then obtains it at any
price AS perhaps no portion of our city has
more rapidly increased IN population than that
of which we now speak, we think there is no
measure which more urgently demands the
action Of the Councils than the erection of the
proposed market-house. In giving publicity
therefore to this project, we cannot forbear to
express the hope, that our municipal aulhori-
ties, after due deliboration, may make sulii-
cient appropriation TO carry it into effect.

Yesterday morning was caused by the burning
of the shed of a brick-kiln in Warmers lane,
near Columbia st. 1t was entirely consumed,
Loss about 500. 1t was the property of Mr.,
Michael Warner
the house at the corner Of Aceanna street and
Happy Alley, accidentally took fire yesterday
about noon. The neighbors seeing a large vo-
nfS unk n from the ~ ad
up stairs and with few buckets OF water soon
succeeded in extingushing it.
Baltimore County Court, The cases of
Cockey vs.. Gooding, and Cockey VS.. Talbot,
to recover certain promssory notes, were taken
up yesterday, and in consequence of some in
fornality, the court ordered nOVe-p roseques to
be entered. In the case of Stewart vs. Rider,
to recover for professional services, verdict
for 500 was rendered in favor of the plaintiff;
and Dainer VS.. Kemp, verdict OF Si3 so, in
favor of the plaintiff; but, in both cases, the
plea Of Jurisdiction was set up, and will be
hereafter argued. The case of Doremus VS.. Nc
Cormicl, growing out of an adjustment of
debts previously entered INTO by the firm of
Lightner & Mccormick, while carrying on bu-
sinoss IN Alabama, varIously contracted with
Messrs. Dorcmus, S rydam s Nixon, was taken
up. The original debt was 5000. Mr.. l..
having repaired to this city, some time after
wards, whore he died, the surviving partner,
Mr.. Mccormick, came into the District of CO.
lumbia, and effected compromise with Mr.
Doremus, by paying h'm $1,000, thereby re-
leasing MIN from all obligation Of Indebtedness.
The present uit is Insulated to set aside that
discharge, upon the assumption that it was re-
celvcd under false representations as to the SOL
vency of the party. Lee, Wallis and Fernan-
dis, for the plaintiff and Nelson and Schlcy,
for the defence.
Shall il be abandoned? We learn that the
"Western Home Missionary Society,"" which
employs the Rev. ID. McJiIton to visit and re-
lievc the poor and afflicted of our city, finds it
difficult to sustain that devoted man in his
humane and truly christian caiiinu and now
