CITY lNTELLlGENCE.


Dedication. We learn that on Sunday af
ternoon last, small but neat chapel, situate in
Poppleton neal Columbia street, and connected
with the Columbia-st Station of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, was dedicated to the service
of the Almighty, with appropriate religious &C.
remonies; after which, moro than 500 were
subscribed to aid in freeing the building from
debt The chapel will hereafter be occupied
for Sunday School and other church purposes
and will no doubt be great accommodation
to the neighborhood. 1t is gratifying to wit
ness the interest that s manifested by the va
rlous religious denominations for those por-
tons of our city which are remote from the
larger churches, by the erection Of houses suit
ed to the wants of the community where they
are located, and no doubt much more pleasure
must be experienced in a small church free Of
dabt, than in larger one encountered by the
dreadful incubus of heGry church debt.
City Tdrss. Tomorrow is the LIST of No
vember, and as a "penny saved is penny
made" we would recommend our readers who
may be assessed for city taxes, TO call immedi-
atey at the "captain's Office" and settle up, as
the worthy Collector, Henry Snyder, Esq, has
gwen notice that he will allow discount of
one per cent to all who think proper to '4ork
over" on or before tomorrow.
accident. Yesterday morning, while ba-
ker's wagon was coming slowly up Baltimore
street, opposite Harrison st., a little girl about
twelve years of age, carrying small child in
her arms and leading another by her side, was
crossing over to the market, and ruaning against
the horse, was knocked down. The wheels of
tho vehicle passed over her and the children in
her charge, neither of whom, fortunately, sus-
tanned any serious injury. Their escape with
out loss Of life or broken limbs is almost mira
culous. No blame whatever can be attached
to the driver of the wagon.
.Narrop Escape. Mr.. James R. Parkinson,
while returning to his residence on Saturday
last in his carryall met with an accident which
came near proving of a fatal character. He
was in the act of crossing the bridge over Har-
rs' creek, at Canton, when tho flooring sud-
denly gave way, and himself, with his horse
and vehicle, were precipitated into the creek
below, receiving, we regret TO learn, serious in
Jury.
Look oui-.4ltersd Note. We were shown
this morning, says the Argus, ten dollar note,
to be- of the "WesteIn Bank of Bal
timore," but which is altered from the Seventh
Ward Bank, New York. 1t is numbered l74e
letter A. Dated Jan. %, lS45. The sigma
lures are bad-the plate entirely different from
the genuine, and altogether it is the most bare
faced deception imaginable. There is no men
lion of it in the "Detector."

liverpool and Southern Packet Line. A meet
ing of the merchants and others favorable TO
the establishing of line of Packets between
this city and Liverpool; and Southern line
between Wilmington, N. C. and Baltimore,
and Mobile, Ala. and Baltimore, was held on
Wednesday evening in the rooms of the Mer-
camille Library Association. The meeting was
organized by appointing MIR. 0. G. Tiffany to
the chair. The subject was canvassed by Sc
veral gentlemen present-especialy the pro-
lect of forming line of packets to Liverpool.
There are already, we understand, about $780,
900 subscribed towards the Liverpool line. Many
of the subscribers were in attendance and took
an active part in the meeting No doubt was
that the amount of money for this
$780, 00) could be obtained. At
the close of the meeting, two committees, con-
sisting each of six gentlemen, were appointed
by the Chair, whose business it should be TO
procure subscriptions towards the establishment
of both lines in contemplation. The prospects
of establishing the Liverpool line, which seems
to be required first, in order to afford 4 more
certain outlet for Southern produce, are very
and leave hardly doubt Of success.
