The Shipping Interest. The number Of YES
sells lying in the Port of Baltimore, is at pre-
sent very few, fact that would argue, accord
ing to all the known rules of commerce, that
our city was in ii most tlourishng condition.
We state names and localities of all, and be-
heve it to be nearly accurate.

lie, - and though many 'argosieS Of portly sal''
do cut great Neptune's food, yet not even the

The Weather. The weather underwent vari-
Gus changes, in these parts, yesterday. The
morning, broke bright; then slight occasional
sprinkle of rain till about midday, when it fell
fast with a chilling air. The evening, early,
was clear and mild late, the weather assumed
a more lowering aspect. At night, a heavy,
drenching, cold rain continued to fall for about
an hour then clear, but disagrecaby COOL ma
king fire very necessary.
an for Lore. Ayoung lady, living in Spring
street, near Orleans, attempted to destroy her
self, on Monday evening, by swallowing a
large dose Of laudanum. Dr. Boggs, young
physician from Fell's Point, was called in, and
BY his skill and timely arrival, succeeded in re-
storing her, although she still lies in a very
critical condition. A disappointment in love
is said to have been the cause of the rash act.

.lsnirerSa,y Meeting. The "Wesylean Home
Missionary Society,"" celebrated its annversa-
~, at the Methodist Church, High street, on
Monday evening last Addresses We're deliver
ed by Rev J, Sewel and II. Scer, and col
ectons and subscriptions for the support Of the
Missionary, were received to the amount of
$40. The exercises were Of an interesting
character, and well calculated to encourage
the Missionary, Rev. f. f. Allen, in his pious
labors, and also to strengthen the excellent So
ciety which employs him. Foreign missions
among the heather are highly important to the
church and to the world, but hone missions
have peculiar claims upon the philanthropy of
all sects and parties, for what is calculated to
better the condition of our kinsmen and neigh
bors, becomes our own personal interest
IN Upset. Yesterday about one o'clock, as
Mrs. Elizabeth Langley, was returning from
the Lexington market in a light wagon, her
horse took fright and ran at the top of his
speed, from the corner of Paca and Favette SITS
to the Maypole tavern, when he came in con-
tact with another horse and cart, with such
force that both vehicles were completely over
turned. Mrs. Langley was thrown out upon
the pavement, but fortunately received no Sc
rious injury.
Nice Young Men. For some days past we
have received reports of various pugilistic
sports which are in course of exhibition in the
neighborhood of the Spring Garden; but not
having leisure (even had we the incnation)
to visit that region to witness these perV inter-
esting sports, we are unable to state definitely
their precise character, the result of the con-
tests, or the parties concerned. On Monday
evening, the occasion of contest, we saw
some OF the amiable youths, returning from the
scene Of action, and should judge-lf appear
ances indicated any thing-that the exercises
they had been INDUCING in were not altogether
of pacific character, Young men, there is
much room for change in your hablts-so see
to it.
