depot by military escort composed OF the Ea-
gle Artillery, Col. Kane, and the Junior Ar
iiery, Capt Mcdowell, and escorted to the
| rotunda of the Exchange, where the body will
remain until the day of final intermont, which
| has been fixed for Tuesday next, as will be seen
! by notice in another column. This will af-
ford sufficient time for visiting troops to arrive
here from any distance they may DO disposed
to come. Papers throughout the State are re-
qucsted to publish the notice of Maj. Law
Besides the twelve companies we published
yesterday as having intmated to the command

The Hartford Light Dragons, Capt. jarrett; a
troop from Baltimore county, Capt. PhilPot;
and several corps of Foot and Horse belonging
to Gen. Tilghman's brigade, from Talbot and
| Dorchester counties, Eastern Shore Of Mary
land. A number of others will also no doubt
be pre- ent, and signify their intention during
| the present week.
We understand that Messrs, Welch, Mann
& Delavan, of the Front street Theatre, with
their known liberality, have offered the use of
all their splendid horses for the funeral, which
offer has been accepted. Baltimoreans will
know how to appreciate this act.
! The cenotaph at the Exchange, and the
Ehroudng of the ROtunda in suitable mourn
ing, will be completed to-day, in a manner
highly creditabe to all concerned.
The Coffin We were shown yesterday aE
teInoon at Mr.. James Hooper's, North GAY
street, nearly opposite the Bel Air Market, the
coffin which Mr.. Hooper has just finished at
his establishment, to receive the remains of
Major RinggSld. 1t is sufficiently large to ad-
nit of the zinc coffin, in which they are brought
on, and which was sent on ia a box by Mr..
Hooper some time since, TO Point lisa BEL
! The coffin is made of the best mahogany,
and is lined throughout the inside with fine
! black cambria. The Sides ends and lid, are
handsomely covered with black cloth, and on
| the edge Of the lid, a unique and appropriate
gold mourning bead is placed, at the same time
plain and Chaste. Four silver handles are fix
ed to the sides to carry it with, and on the top
Of the lid, which is fiat, is large silver shield,
the borders handsomely chased, on which is en-
graved the following pton:-"The body
of Brevet Majo- Samuel Ringgold, of the U.
States Army, who was MORALLY wounded in
the battle Of Palo Alto, on the Sth May, IS48."
The handles, shield and beading, were manu-
featured by Mr. Jacob Seeger, German street;
the other work on the coffin was all executed
by Mr.. Hooper, in most wOrkmanlike and
excellent manner, and in a style which we
venture TO assert, cannot be exCeled in the
city. The coffin will remain at MIR. Hoopers
until the arrival of the Committee this even
ing, and where persons so disposed can have
an opportunity of inspecting it.
Crying for a Ftp. A gentleman states, that,
whilst passing through the market few days
since, he found small boy crying most pite-
ouSly. On enquring the cause Of his grief he
was informed, that the mother Of the hey sent
him regularly to the market with orders to OBJ
tain ga ftp" by begging, or OH lis return home
to be whipped. Some bystanders furnished the
boy with his ftp, to save his back. Now this
incident may appear to be Of little importance;
but let us look at the consequences of the
practice. The boy is sent to beg, with a threat
of chastisement should he fail. If unsuccess-
full he is tempted to steal-and thus is laid the
foundation upon which he builds the future
suPerstructure Of crime. He is forced into an
evil course by the parent who should guide his
youthful steps in the path Of virtue-he be-
comes callous and prepared tor holder deeds as
he increases i'll years-and may finally termi-
nate his career under the gallows We have
no doubt that many criminals can trace their
ruin to causes as trivial as that just mentioned.
To prevent such unnatural parents from thus
tHCl dulLOllly W uGou uCLlOu VI
their offspring, eetbegging should be totally
prohibited, under severe penalties. 1t is now
followed as a regular business, and by persons,
too, who are well able to support themselves
by labor. Deserving objects of charity will
always receive sympathy and relief, by making
their situations known to some charitable in
stituton or individuals.
