dies, about 30 in number, made an attack yes
terday afternoon upon Captain jeremiah Rob-
inson, of the schooner Enterprise, lying at
Commerce-st. wharf. They struck him upon
the head, directly over the eye, causing q
large wound which bled prOfusely. They also
struck him with piece Of pine wood, which
they threw down the COMPLIMENTARY, where
he had ran, to take shelter from the quantity of
bricks which were flying about his head. He
| is seriously hurt and required two mems aid to
convey him to the police office. Twoof the ring

were arrested by officer Pamphillon and citi-
zen Peregoy, aud committed to Jail in default
| of $500 security, to appear at the June term Of
the Criminal Court
City Cosrt. There was quite an unusual at
| tendance in the Courtroom on Saturday last
drawn there, no doubt, from an interest felt in
the fate of sundry young men, arrested during
the week, charged with rioting at fires. We
have so repeatedly spoken in reference to such
characters, that we only deem it necessary
now to give the action of the Court in the cases
now submitted for adjudication. Robert Smith
and Andrew Bachelor, for rloting at q fire,
were ordered to be imprisoned one month
VIM. Knight, John Hughes, Ed. LIE Roy, John
Franhs, anu Edward Darling, Tor similar Of
fence, were ordered to pay fine of 81 each,
and to be imprisoned one month. Peter Logue,
| charged as above, was acquitted, it appearing
in evidence that hs was only cndeavoring to
save piece of apparatus from getting into the
possession of an attacking party. Adam Big
john, charged with assaultng Nicholas Rhine
hart was declared not gity. VIM. Nicol, for
assaultng Philip Dawson, was fined ST. and
costs. David Williamson alias Hawk, for as
saulting officer VIM. Mckinley, while in the
discharge of his duty, was ordered to be impri-
soned one month, and to pay fine of $40 and
costs Geo. Mclaughlin, charged with as
saultng Jane Campbell, was acquitted. Hen
rietta Price, for assaulting AraneLta Bradford,
Cloth colored) was ordered to be imprisoned

next.
Terrible Explosion, Loss Of Lines. We learn
that during tho past week two premature ex-
plosions took place at the stone quarry of Mr..
Allen, on the Falls Road, q short distance from
this city, which produced the most disastrous
effects. The first explosion we learn, occurred
on Friday last, by which Mr.. Allen, the pro-
prletor, was killed; and the second on Satur-
day, by which one colored man was killed. be-
ing literally torn to pieces, and another so Sc
rlous!y injured, that it is feared he cannot reco-
yer. These melancholy results, as is frequent
ly the case, resulted from want of manage
ment on the part of the workmen employed in
the blasting.
Democratic Banner. a large and beautiful
banner, intended as a present from the Demo-
eracy of Baltimore to the Democracy of New
York, was exhibited at the saloon of the As
sepbly Rooms on Saturday, and was visited by
large number of ladies and gentlemen, who
were loud in their praise of the skill and tai
ent OF the artist. On the right Of the front
side is likeness of the President, on the left
is seen Genl jackson, and below is a we'll ex-
ocuted portrait of the Hon. Silas Wright, Gov
ernor OF New York. On the reverse side is an
eagle, holding in his beak scroll, having on
it the words, in gold letters, "To the democra-
cy of New York, from the democracy of Balt-
more" The whole was designed and painted
by Mr.. S. S. Donaldson, aud reflects great credit
upon him as an artist. The cost of the banner,
we are informed, will reach eight hundred
dollars

at meeting of the board of trustees of the
Aims House, on Friday afternoon, A. l. w.
Jackson, Esq, was elected overseer of the in
stitution, vice George Hoffman, Esq.
Handsome improvement. We take pleasure
always in giving encouragement to the spirit of
Improvement, and for this purpose cannot re-
fran from noticing the new and elegantly fit
ted up store of Mr.. J. e. Bird, No. 200 Bati-
more-st, between Light and Charles sts., to
which he has recently removed his stock Of
goods The entrance presents a bold and at
tractive appearance, being ornamented with
novel construction Of show windows and glass
door. The shelving also and counters are ola
new style, excellently suited for convenience.
The paperng, by Hessrs. Howell s. Brother,
represents panel work, and does much credit to
their good taste and skill as workmen. Mr.. Ira
Brown has the credit ofthe carpenter work, aud
Mr' John NJ Gardner the painting. The store
is large and of corresponding proportions, hav-
ing the addition ola sky-light which is found of
great advantage to show off goods ANY one
taking but birds eye view of this very neat
arrangement, cannot but approve of the good
