CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Mcendiaries and Thieves. During the tenn
porary absence of Mrs. Lindsey, from her re-
sidence, in Mulberry, near Eutaw St early on
Thursday evening, her house was attempted to
be fired in several places. Fortunately she re-
turned in time to prevent any serious conse-
quences-having discovered the fires before be-
coming well kindled. While the neighbors
were buSily engaged, aiding in the extinguish-
mcnt of the fire, several articles (silver candle
sticks, &C., were stolen from Mrs. Osborn'S, in
an adjoining house. There can be little doubt
but that these several acts-the fire and rob-
bcry-were the result Of preconcerted action
1t is pity the daring perpetrators of such
hcinous offences should 60 UNPUBLISHED.
| The Poor-7he Mayors Recommendation 1t
will be seen by reference to another column
of this paper, that Mayor Davies, has recon-
mended the holding of ward meetings for the
| purpose of adopting some means for the relief
! of the poor Of this city The suggestion cannot
otherwise than meet with public appreciation,
and we hope the Mayor will be sustained in his
! truly benevolent recommendation, by hearty
response on the part of his fellow-citzens.-
Those friendly to the object will assemble, at
the usual places of holding ward meetings, on
tuesday evening next.
, Christ Church Bells. We are pleased to
learn, that we shall hear once more the chime
OF these bells, on or before Christmas day
we well remember their first "dng, dong,
dell, nd considered 1t little less than sacri-
iege to unhouse them from their old resting
place. Their peal will be welcomed by the
| citizens OF Baltimore. The steeple in which
they will be hung in Christ Church, will not,
we presume, be completed during the present
season, temporary roof of plank having been
erected to secure the work done from the eff
tects OF the weather When finished it will be
great ornament to the church.
