CITY INTELLIGENCE

WarLEe. A meeting of the officers of the
Volunteers was held on Wednesday evening,
at the Exchange Hotel, for the purpose of
making arrangements for the contemplated
funeral Of Major Ringgold, when his remains
shall have been received in Baltimore. The
meeting, we learn, broke up in admirable con-
fusion, without coming TO any definite results
We are also informed that a number Of our
volunteer corps will refuse to parade on the
occasion under the present circumstances, not
however out of any disrespect to the memory
of the gallant Ringgold, but on account of al
legged charges of "dctalion," ''undue assump-
| ton of authority" &c. We regret that such
breach should have occurred among our vol
unteers, and hope that some person may yet be
enabled to ''throw oil upon the troubled wa
ters." What is the "caSuS belIi?" Cannot
those who were behind the scenes inform the
public?
81 MARK ONLY THE Hours THAT SHINE. -
This, if we rightly remember, is the inscription
upon a sun dial in Italy. 1t inculcates beau
tiful lesson which too many are prone to dsre-
gard 1T would teach US TO remember the bright
days Of life, and not to forget the blessings of
God given to u.s. Life, it is true, is not all
bright and beautiful. But still it has lights as
well as shades, and it is neither wise nor CRATE
lul to dwell too much upon the darker portions
Of the picture. He who looks upon the bright
side Of life, and makes the best of everything,
will, we think, other things being equal, be a
better and happier man than those who, as
FraHklin says, "are always looking at the ug-
ly leg" and find occasion for complaint and
censure in almost every thing they meet with.
Charge Of Bigamy Officer Gladding, yes
terday arrested Joseph Finley, charged with
marrying Caroline Addison, and having anoth-
wife, Hannah Finley,) living in the city. The
parties are all negroes, Most men find one
wife as much as they are able to manage at a
time, but Joseph seems to think that there is
pleasure in variety. Justice Showacre held
him to bail to appear for further examination,
when if the fact be proven, the best punishment
that can be inflicted will be to compel him to
live in the same house with both wives, and
enjoy the double sweets of matrimony.
Launch. A new brig called the "Rheman,o
will be launched from the ship yard of Messrs
Abrahams & Cooper, Phil pot street, Fell's
Point, this morning at IL O'Clock. She is of
about zoo tons burthen, and was built for, and
under the immediate superintendance of Capt
Adam Gray, one of the most skil(ul ship-mas-
tiers in the port ofEBaltmore. She will be
launched with the masts and yards standing i
One Of Nichols Improved Patent Pump Wind
lasses is attached to the brig, which Is said to be
a great and desirable acquisition to all vessels
Heauy Rain We had regular old fashion
ed rain last evening, about fifteen minutes of
s O'Clock. The rain poured down in a perfect
torrent for about ten minutes, flooding the
streets, and all scout O. doors" 1t had the eff
feet of cooling the atmosphere, and making it,
quite agreeable.
Harm. Another change has come over the
spirit Of the weather, and yesterday we had i'll
quite warm again. The thermometer in our
office, in the shade, was up to SO at O'Clock,
p. NJ, and but for the fitting clouds, which
frequently obscured the sun, and fine breeze
which was blowing all day, we should have
had a most oppressive time oft.
Hard Words James Ruhl was arrested yes
terday by officer Snyder, charged with making
threats of violence to Henry Schweitzell; and
rice psrSa, Schweitzell for threatening Ruhl,
was arrested by the same officer. Justice Eyer
ton before whom they were taken, required both
to give security to keep the peace.
Case for Court. John Reilly, charged with
assaulting and beating Patrick Coskery, was ar
rested and taken to the middle district watch
house on Thursday night He was yesterday
morning committed to Jail to appear at court
by Justice Belt.
