Dslicaciesr or The Sick and Bnu,ded Soldiers.

taIs OF the army in Mexico tor distribution
among the soldiers who have been taken sick,
and have been wounded during the war. We
are gratifed to be able to annouHce that the
proposal has been promptly responded to-and
that many of our citizens have already prov-
ded numerous pots, jars and boxes of pickles,
preserves, swoetmeats and other delicacGs, and
have placed them in the care Of Capt Steiner
of the Chesapeake Riilemen, and Capt. Dusen-
berry Of the Qnartermaster's Department, by
whom they will be packed up so as to prevent
breakage or damage, and will be conveyed to
Matamoras by schooner which will! sail in
few days with government stores. After reach
ing Matamoras they will be aPportioned to the
different hospitals, We rejoice that those who
are enjoying the comforts Of peace, are not UNI
mindful of their Counttymen, who suffer from
disease and wounds in a distant land. We are
authorized TO say that Old Town and East Bal
timore have not yet sent in contributions, and
we express the hope that their generosity will
not suffer them to remain long behind other
sections of the city.
Military. The washington Guards, y" Capt.
kalkman, made their first parade yesterday af-
ternoon. Their ranks were not so full as was
expected, owing we understand to the difficult
ty in getting their uniforms completed in time.
They made quite handsome and soderly APP
pearance. Capt, Elterman's company of Ger
man Ieagers were out with them as an escort
The fine band OF the National Blues, Capt Yo-
landt, headed the parade and discoursed as they
always do eloquent music upon the occasion.
After marching through several of our prnc.
pal streets they proceeded to the "Reservoir
House" where they partook of sumptuous
collation. prepared at the instance of the Off
GERS.
The "Ringgold Infantry" Capt. Chifelle,
were also out, accompanied by the Independent
Blues Band. They turned out in strong num-
bers and by their fine marching and military
evolutions, added much to then already high
reputation.
Wondering Carts and Drdys. The utility Of
placing a number upon every regularly licens-
ed vehicle is admitted by all; but when, as is
often the case, carts and drays have two or
three numbers placed on them by their owners,
great misunderstanding and sometimes dishon-
esty may arise. Suppose, for example, man
orders load of wood to be hauled from the
wharf to his dwelling in u cart that has three
numbcrs,-say %, 50 and S6,-and in conse-
quence Of the ignorance or dishonesty of the
carter the wood is not delivered, how is redress
to be obtained? Perhaps the man has not ia
ken pains 10 remember SO many numbers, or
perhaps he has forgotten them. In either case
he Is subjected to great Inconvenience Such
things frequently occur. This shows the ne
cessity of having upon every vehicle one num-
Der only, and that the right one, thus avo iding
the confusion which often happens under the
present mode.

County Court. The only case tried before
this court yesterday, was that of Barney Nc
Donough, who was found guilty of selling IL
quor without license, and fined $40, with costs.
The court was engaged during the balance of
the morning in deciding law cases, and ad
journed until P. NJ, when it again met, and |
was engaged in deciding law points, until a late |
hour, when it adjourned until this morning.
Duy CiJt- ~ OVU, SC' llc ICCGIlL Change
in the wind and weather, has brought up a
large fleet Of bay craft to our whalves, who had |
been compelled, on account of the storm, to
lay by in harbor. They bring large quantity .
Of wood, which will lower the price OF that ar
tcle, besides grain and produce of all descrip-
lions, "too numerous TO mention,n Oysters, .
luxury which has been rather scarce for a week .
or two, have also arrived in full supply.
Stealing Cloak. A new and valuable blue
cloth cloak, the property of MIR. James Burn
side, was stolen from the passage of a house in
Lombard street, about 8 O'Clock on Wednesday
evening.
The Watch Reports. The reports oftho night
watch for Wednesday, contained nothing but
the names of few loafers who came in for
lodging. This speaks well for the good order
OF the city.
.Nt,0 Lamp. We saw yesterday at the City
Hall, street lamp Of a new style, which has
recently been adopted by the city authorities of
Philadelphia, and which has been sent as
specimen TO his Honor, Mayor Davies. 1t is
considerably larger than the lamp now in gen
eral use here, and the frame oft is constructed
entirely of cast iron, in lieu Of tin as heretofore,
thus giving not only superior strength but
also, by the lightness of the partitions Of the
frame work, presenting fewer distractions to
the diffusion of the light. The sides and top
are of glass, the whole being surmounted by a
cast iron eagle, giving to it neat and tasty
appearance. 1t can easily be adapted to the
burning of either gas or oil, and though proba-
bly, twice as durable as the ordinary unframed
lamp, costs but small advance in price. 1t is
the intention Of the Mayor to have it placed in
some conspicuous position, so that all may
Judge of its capability and efficacy .-.american.

Ing, and We are, as usual, about TO be inundated
with the refuse musical nondescipts Of France, TIA
ly, Germany and, for aught we know, may have
