CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The Spring Trade. Our merchants appear
to be unusually active at the present time, and
the spectacle presented on Baltimore street is
of the most gratifying character as showing
that the trade of our city is daily becoming
more and more extensive and profitable to all
concerned, while it exhibits the fact that our
market holds out inducements to Southern and
| Western merchants and traders, to be found
nowhere else. Indeed we were surprised our
selves, yesterday, in leisure walk through
Baltimore-st., az we'll as others, TO see such
large, beautiful and varied stocks of goods, Of
every description of manufacture, Offered on
such accommodating and low terms, as TO bid
defiance to any Northern or Eastern rival mar
ket. Never before, we are certain, was there
such large and elegant stock of goods in the
Baltimore MARKET and we are glad to perceive
that the energy and enterprise of our mer-
chants are likely to be rewarded by country
purchasers who have formerly been dealing in
Philadelphia and New York, but who now find
that they can purchase here Just as cheap, and
thereby save travelling expenses and loss of
time. The busy hum of industry heard now
throughout cur growing city, shows that al
though the energies of her citizens may for
awhile he cramped by injudicious legislation
and unfounded prejudice, yet her career of
her manufactures multiplying, while the fame
and skill of her mechanics and artizans are
known and appreciated far and wide.
! Committed for Contemplation in a Magis-
trate's Oace. Yesterday afternoon during the
, ttt,1n bat Ill III 1
ceiving the security for Slicer, the individual
charged with assaulting and beating Isabella
Reeder, young man named David William
son alias Hawk, who had come in with Reeder,
used some very indecent and profane language,
for which he was rebuked by the magistrate;
instead of behaving himself however, he abus-
ed the Justice and told him to 90 10 HI. The
Justice Immediately committed him for twenty
four hours for contempt. AS officer McKIn-
ley was taking him to Jail, and had got but Il
short distance from the office, he resisted and
made a desperate assault upon him, and such
was the force and severity of the blow that he
would have been overpowered, but for the
timely arrival of Officers Graham, Moore and
others, by whose united strength he was carried
back to the office. After getting him in the
room he carried on in such a manner, that he
was forced to be thrown upon the floor and the
handouts put on him, in which condition he
was carried to prison. He was also committed
on the charge of the assault upon the officer.
