| The Brig Phoenix. We learn from the tx
! change Reading Room Books, that this vessel
commanded by Capt. Watts, and which we sta.
| ted Yesterday to be ashore on the First Bar, now
! lies in two feet water, within one bundled feet
of the stone wharf at Fort McIlenry. Her
owner has examined her, and says that she is
not lying in dangerous position, and that after
! her ballast is all out, it is expected she will be
got off, without any injary. The Patriot says
it learns from Capt, Layman, of the steamer K.
F. Stockton, that he saw three schooners cap
sized in the Patapsco, and brigantine ashore
below the Fort in coming in the harhor yester-
day morning. The brgantine, was the brig
Phoenix, and the supposed schooners, the lost
canal boats, it is probable. The Exchange
Reading Rooms knows ofbut one schooner cap
sized, and that was off the "White Rocks, " as
we stated yesterday.
Lives Lost. We stated yesterday that sever
al canal boats in tow ofthe steamer Gov. VOL
colt, had broken their fastenings and drfted
ashore near North Point, on the morning of
Tuesday. We since learn that one boat W hich
broke loose from the Wolcott was laden with
iron, and that four men belonging to her were
drowned. The boats of the steamer Cambridge
took five men from sunken barge, and picked
up four trunks at1oat from barge which had
sunk. No lives but the four named, are sup
posed to be lost.
The Markets. The favorable winds have
brought large quantity Of grain, especially
corn, into our market, but as dealers are await
ing later advces from Europe, transactions
continue rather limited. There were sales yes
terday of fair to prime red wheat at 95alO5c.;
ordinary to good at S5a95c., and white wheat
for family flour at l20al25c. of old white corn
at 65a67c,, and yellow do at 6la62c; new

intercourse with Mr. Myers wife, were brought
to this city yesterday morning in the steamboat
from Norfolk They were sent on Immediate
ly by the steamboat line to New York, where
Mr.. Hoyt belonged, and where it is purposed
to inter them.
Justice. We mentioned short time since,
the arrest of two young men from Philadelphia,
named Benjamin Hemmings and Stephen De-
couders, on supposed connection with two
young apprentices who had sloped from that city
and came on in the same train with them. We
are Informed that they came to Baltimore for
the purpose of getting employment, being sad
dlers, by trade, and had no connection what
ever with the runaway apprentices. On their
examination before Justice Showacre, they
were honoraby discharged, as we stated at the
time. r.

named George WOLF who resides in Mercer,
between Calvert and Grant streets, in drum
ken spree yesterday morn, about 10 O'Clock, at
tempted TO cut his own throat with pen knife,
but did not succeed, females who were present
interfering in time. He then made an attack
upon his grandmother and sisters, with the
knife, but their screams for help attracted the
notice of gentleman who was passing, who
rushed in, when the young scoundret dropt the
knife and fled the back way He had been at
a drunken Irish ball, the night before, and
drinking excessively, caused him to act in this
desperate manner. Fortunately no one sus-
tanned any injury.
