Co,cGrdly ro,Ddyts;a. On Sunday evening
last about O'Clock, party of young rowdies,
taking advantage of the police, who were en-
gagged in suppressing riot among the hremen
in Baltimore near Hanover street, proceeded to
a uouse in north Liberty near Saratoga street,
kept by Mr.. George Resenbark, and created a
most disgraceful riot. 1t appears that the par
ly went into this house, and called for some
beer or ale, and which was furnished them;
they then asked for more, refusing to pay for
what they had already received. Rosenbark
informed them that they could not have any
more, when they became enraged and common
ced an indscrimnate attack upon the house,
furniture and inmates. Nearly all the win
doWs, together with the sash and shutters, were
broken up, and the bulldog otherwise abused
The police having obtained knowledge of the
parties, yesterday officers Pamphlllon and
Gross arrested Thomas Wingate, John Will
lams and Francis Holley, charged with being
engaged in the affair. They were examined
befor JUSTICE Wright, who committed Wingate
to Jail, and held Williams and Holley to bail to
appear and answer at the City Court.

Convention was held on last Friday evening,

make another attempt to obtain the passage of
a law by the Legislature of Maryland, having
returned from Annapolis, reported that there
was no prospect Of the attainment of their OBJ
iect at this session. They had, however, the
consolation to know that there was a probabiH-
ty, ifnot possibility Of the passage Off Militia
Law at the nert session Of the State Legisla-
ture. The Convention then appointed a COM
mittec consisting of nine members, for the pur-
pose of preparing an Address to the citizens of
Baltimore on the Militia Laws; and also in

Found dead Several boys Yesterday morn
ing found the body of q woman lying near the
fence Of the Seamen's Bethel Buvying Ground,
Canton. She appears to be Of German birth,
about % years OF age, and was genteely dress
ed. The body from the decayed state in which
it was found, had lain exposed some time, pro-
badly before the fall of the late snow and it is
supposed that she had gone out in that direc-
ton about that time for the purpose of gather
ing wood, as many OF the Germans are in the
habit of doing, and persisted from the cold and
exposure. Coroner Hooper held an inquest,
and the jury returned verdict in accordance
-"death from exposure"

terday for a member of the First Branch of the

ity of eight votes, and will we presume, appear
