.lIors about the Rape Case. We are pleased
in beinr able to state that The unfortunate Mar
garetta Syer, has been provided for IN man
ner that will no doubt prove agreeable to her
and satisfactory to all those who desire the ends
of Justice shall BIO obtained by the prosecution
of the five Young men charged with the brutal
violation of her person. During the session OF
the City Court, on Saturday last, she volunta-
rily surrendered herself to the custody of toe
Court, and was ordered to be placed in the Gus
tody of the Warden of the Jail, Mr.. Thos. o.
Sellers, who, we understand, will afford her
every privilege that the safety of her person
will allow, and spare no pains to render her
comfortable. The German Benevolent Society,
we also learn, will do all in their power to aid
llcr till the period OF her trial, and having en-
ployed able counsel to conduct her cause will
see that she is protected in her rights, let the
consequences be what they may. The young
men charged with the outrage, are still in CON
fnemcnt, being unable to procure even the
small amount Of bail $4,000 each) fixed by
the Court.
Ro5bing Passages We would caution our
citizens against leaving their passage doors
open of an evening, when none OF the family
are within hearing, as several families in the
upper part of the city have suffered III the last
week, in the loss of coats, umbrellas, hats, nc
DIR. Hawkins, while sitting in back room OF
his residence in Green-st., near the Medical
College, on Friday night, thought he heard a
I slight uose in the passage, and IN going out to
ascertain the cause, saw man going rapidly
down the street The Doctor Immediately
missed his umbrella aud made chase after the
supposed rogue, whom he overlook near the
Three Tuns Tavern, and sure cnough he found
him in possession of his lost property. The
benevolent Doctor, instead of having the thief
brought to Justice, gave him long lecture on
his improper mode oIgaining subsistence, and
suffered him to depart.
Iico Wires. During the sitting of the City
Court, on Saturday last, all issue was made, IN
reference to the right to hold German sailor
now in prison, when it was stated that the
sailor (Uchlaub) had Il wife and family in Og
densburg, Germany, and that soon after his ar
rival in this port, and Il few days before his ar
rest, he had become united in matrimony to a
woman in this city He was arrested as de-
serter, and the Court ordered him to be held
/ for the action of the Consul, who will, we
hope, compel him to ship, and return to his
true and lawful wife, We pity the young
bride.
Teaching the young idea. We understand that
Il company of young men, to be designated the
, ''JuIior Guards, - is about to organized IN this
city-they already number forty-tliree mem
bcts. There is 10 need of the interference OF
Government to make men soldiers, or to keep
standing armies, in this country, where every
man, by his own voluntary will qualities himself
for duty, in the field as well as in the civil de-
partments of government. Properly train the
youths, and there need be no fear from foreign
or domestic foes.
The Military Contention. At a meeting OF
the Baltimore lnyincibles," held at their ar
mory on Friday evening last, the following
named gentleman were elected delegates to the
proposed convention: James Nj. Anderson,
Lloyd B. Parks, David Grieves, Jr., Thomas
B. Hambeton and J, Martin Peregoy.
Served him right. A colored man named
! Francis, for exposing dead dog on the COM
mons, near the intersection of Aliceanna and
| Caroline streets, was on Saturday fined 81 and
costs, by Justice McAster. He was arrested
by officer StoCkett.
Heary Shipment Of Tobacco. We learn from
! the American that Messrs. Schaer s Kuster,
merchants Of this city, shipped few days ago,
by the ship Henry Shelton, which sailed for st.
Petersburgh, seven hundred hogsheads of To-
bacco, valued at 100000. This is is the tifst
entire cargo of tobacco ever shipped from the
United States to Russia
Sudden DEATH A German, named Frederick
! Buherns, who had been unwell since Thursday,
received hurt upon the head from fall on
| Saturday night, while passing about the house,
which was considered Of slight character, and
during the early part of the night he died lie
was attended by medical gentlemen. The de-
ceased was industrious and honest though I'M
fortunately addicted to habits of intemperance.
He leaves wife and two children. His re-
mains were followed to the grave, yesterday at
