the parade OF the $50 Regiment on MOnday
last, we were in error in stating that the "Ma-
ryand Cadets were out under command Of
Lieut., levi Fahnestock. VIM. A. Poor, ESQ.
Is the Lieut.. Commanding the corps. The first
named gentleman is the second lieutenant, and
was out in that capacity.
A Crash. In the march of improvement
the old buildings on the corner of Charles and
Pratt streets have been torn down, to give place
to others; hut ncighboring house, on Charles
street, its age perhaps running back beyond the
memory Of of most of our inhabitants, being
deprived of its Anticipated companion and stay,
and rendered unable to support itself, the south
crn end came down yesterday with quite
crash Various household articles were tuna-
bled into the street; but, fortunately, no person
was hurt.
MAY Ball. AS was anticipated, the annual
ball and exhibition of Mr.. Spies, on Monday
night, was numerously attended. The exhibit
ton Oh the part of the scholars was alike cred
table to themselves and teacher. Youth and
age, mixing and mingling in the joyous festiv-
tiles. the hall presented delightful scene of
beauty and fashion, and all seemed ray and
happy. Retiring at an early hour, we left
them in the full enjoyment of the dance; and
hope returning festivities may find the attend
equally successful and prosperous.
GreenROOm Reports. For some DAYS past
the Canton Race Course has been quite thea
tire of sports, the exact nature and character of
which is not booked We learn, however, that
crowds ofpcrsons have been drawn thithcr to wit
ness various scrub raccs-the merit of which is
reported as at least very questionable. Aside
from the racing, various little displays of pupil
I iSttn ulyil lnu hnnp &c
very agreeable TO certain parties, for we learn
that in at least one contest, young man, who,
doubtless from his profession, would have done
better battle in defence of his country, even
against such odds as he had to contend with,
shared rather hard fate. But, after all, gen
tlomen who seek sport, should not grumbe if
they get more kicks than favors; for there is
no accounting for tastes: verdant youths, who
minglc with old coursers, may expect to be
beat in the end.
Incendiny Act. The alarm of fire on Tues
day night about ten o'clock, was caused by the
burning of pile of shingles in the lumber
yard of Messrs, Allison & Co., on West Falls
Avenue. 1t was the work of an incendiary.

BALTIMORE, May 5th, ls45.
To the Editors Of The Baltimore Patriot:
SIR-It is not my wish to write puff, or
dotract from the merits of any one, but simply
to make plain statement of facts. Being in
want of Silver-ware, short time SINCE made
enquiries at the various establishments where
such articles are generally kept for sale. | at
last called on Mr.. Cooper, No. | Holliday-st.,
between Baltimore and Fayette, manufactur-
or of silver-ware. Upon furnishing him with
the silver, had my work completed at the ap-
pointed time, equal, think, to any manufac-
turer in the United States, and upon compar-
ing estimates had received from other estab-
lishments, found that had made saving of
some twenty-five per cent. MIR. Cooper has
had much experience in the manufacture of
| slver-ware. He appears to combine good
workmanship with good taste, more than any
other manufacturer | am acquainted with. He
is native of Baltimore, and hope will meet
with encouragement. JUSTICE.
Miss JOSEPHINE BRAMsoN. The lovers Of music
will be pleased by the advertisement in another
column. that his little "queen of the piano foren viii
give concert this evening at the Saloon of the Law
Buildings. She will be assisted by her infant sister
and several amateurs. The Misses Bramson have Just
returned from a southern tour, where they met with
the most distinguished success. We trust that full
house will greet them to night.
The ETHIOPIAN OPERA. The Manager of the Ho-
iday-st. Theatre offers very attractive bill TO- night
