IMPORTANT NoTIcE.-7he License Lme.-
We call the particular attention of merchants
and traders generally, to the notice of the
Clerk of Baltimore City Court, in relation to
the License Law. 1t appears that wrong
construction has heretofore been put upon it,
by which large and small dealers had to pay
the same amount. A discrimination will here
after be made between the man who deals on
small scale and the one who deals in thou
sands, and we cannot but think it a most ex-
cellcnt and Just construction of the law.
RocKLANp LAKE Ice. We desire to call at
tention to the advertisement of MIR. Jones, the
agent for the sale of the celebrated ice from

perior to any ever before offered for sale in this
city, and it is said one bushel, on account of
its solidity and transparency, is equal to two of
the kind usually consumed here. 1t will be
delivered from the ice house No. 100 Spears
wharf, to any part of the city, at New York
prices
