CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Street and .Narket House Preaching. A meeting
of Protestant ministers, favorable to preaching
the gospel in the streets and market houses,
during the summer season, was held Yesterday
afternoon in the Baptist church, corner OF
Sharp and Lombard streets. The meeting re-
solved to recommends this class of exercises;
and with view to perfect their arrangements,
appointed the following ministers to prepare a
plan for immediate operations: Rev. G.. G. NJ.
Roberts, II. V. D. Johns, J. G.. Morris, IL.
Slicer, S. p. Hill, +. ileiner, J. G. Hammer,
and w. II. Bordey. These exercises have
heretofore met with general favor in our city,
and as there can exist no doubt of the purity
Of the motives of the ministers who engage in
them, and who, from their well known charac-
ter, give importance to THESE outdoor cXer-
cises, it is to be hoped they may be successful
in checking the course of those who may not
regard the obligations Of the Sabbath and es-
pecially of good and wholesome morals.
Signs If Prosperity. A walk through the
city affords the most gratifying aspect of the
increasing wealth and prosperity among all
classes of our citizens. Merchants are active
in business and mechanics generally are en-
ployed. There never was, perhaps, at any pre-
vious period so many buildings in the course of
erection as at the present time. Store houses
and private dwellings are going up in every d.
recton; and we learn that so great is the call
for bricks, that our brick-makers are unable
to meet the demand Lots are being improv-
ed with fine houses, which rent eadily and on
good terms. Thus the city is daily undergoing
great improvement, and employment afforded
our skiltul and industrious mechanics.
Death Of an old and esteemed citizen. We re-
greet to record the death of Richard Cation, esq.
who departed this life Yesterday morning after
a short illness, in the SD year of his age. Mr.
G. was a native of Lancashire, England, and
has been a resident of Baltimore for the last CO
years. He married the eldest daughter Of the
late Charles Carroll, of Carrolton, and is the
father of the Aarchioness of WELLESLEY. Mr.. C..
has long had the management of large landed
estates; possessed a highly enterprising spirit,
and was distinguished as an accomplished gen
tleman of the old school.
Departure Of The Rer Dr.. Breckenridge. This
distinguished divine left this city Yesterday NOR
ming in the Western train of cars, for Lexing-
ton, Ky, where he will remain for a short time,
and thence proceed to Cannonsburg, Pa, to as
sumo his duties as President of Jefferson Col
lege. The friends of DR.. B. will be gratfed by
calling at Cariss & Shultz and seeing there a
portrait of him, which has been taken for
friend by Mr.. A. J. Miller, artist. The gen.
tleman for whom it was taken has kindly con
scented to allow an engraving of it to be made;
the portrait will therefore remain at Messrs.
Cariss & Shultzs only for few days, during
which time it will be open to the public.
Sudden Death. Mr.. James Hudgins who re-
sided in Charles st. near Baltimore street, died
suddenly on Saturday night of disease of the
heart An inquest was held over the body by
James Hooper, Esq. Coroner, and the jury re-
turned a verdict in accordance with the facts.
Breoking things. Owen Seward, charged

him, and committed TO Jail by n. Tracey, Esq.
Drowned A white girl, whose name we
could not learn, accidentally fell into the dock,
near the State Tobacco warehouses, Yesterday,
and was not recovered until life was extinct.
Strike the Alarm. We noticed yesterday that
workmen work engaged in the erection, on the
East side of Hartford Bridge, of structure to
give notice Of the proper hours to the mechan-
les of that portion Of the city, such measure
having become absolutely necessary, owing to
the breaking of the same sort of warning bea-
con at the foot of Broadway on the Point.
Killed. A young colored boy, OF some u or
10 years of age, was killed yesterday morning
about IL O'Clock, by jumping from the second
story of the dwelling of MI. Meyer, No. 10
President street, in attempting to escape, he
having absconded from his owner, and having
been pursued.
