The remains Of Lieut.. C0Chrans. A commit
tee of five gentlemen, one OF them brother Of
the gallant deceased, arrived in this city yes
terday morning, for the purpose of conveying
the remains Of Lieut.. Cochrane to Columbia
Pa, his native place. They will leave this
morning at O'Clock in the cars by the way of
York, and will be escorted to the depot by the
Junior Artllcrsts, Capt, Mcdowell, the Eagle
ATtilIerists, Lieut.. Col. Kane, and Populations
from other companies. We understand that
the military of York, will receive the remains
with all due honCrs, on the arrival Of the cars.
As there has been no minute account of the
manner in which Lieut.. Cochrane received his
death published, and ii will probably be inter-
estng at this time, we make the following ex-
tract from letter written by G.. Y. Halter, at
Matamoras, to Thomas Cochrane, Esq, of
York, Pa, in which full details are given

entered the open space, in which was deposited
all the subsistence, stores and baggage of the
Mexican army. The enemy hastily disappear
ed and the American band rushed out on the
road, when they were repeatedly charged by
the Lamcors. They were enabled to cope with
the superior numbers of the enomy's Lancers,
by rushing into the chapperal at their charge,
and firing upon them as they passed. The
horses generally recoed from the FIRE, and
rushed through the opposite thickets. la one

fortunately concealed himself in the Chapporal

the Americans, the Mexcans dashed through

of their practsed Lancers, cut short his glori-
Gus career. He was stabbed with the lance,
in number of places, and also shot, either Of

Splendid Building We perceive that the
large and splendid building, erected by Mr..
Lee, on the southeast corner of Bait
more and Calvert streets, is rapidly advancing
towards completion. The unsghtly scaffoId-
ing has been removed and the side pavemen,s
are being put down, a vast improvement to its
outward appearance. When finally finished,
it will be one Of the most beautiful and sub
stantial buildings of the kind in Baltimore.

A Smash. A four horse wagon was run III
to yesterday morning BY b1rthen car, in
Pratt street, near Cheapside, and broken to
pieces. One of the horses was knocked down,
and quito seriously hurt. The accident is
wholly attributable to the culpable carelessness
OF the driver Of the car, who could have avoid
ed the collision if he had endeavored to do So
Improving. We are pleased to learn, that
Mr. Hiram Cranston, OF the Eutaw House, was
considered yesterday to be slightly mending
and that the hopes of his recovery are better,
A gradual improvement appears to be taking
place, which we sincerely hope will restore
him to his friends and family again.
