THE GRAND PAGEANT OF RICHARD THE SD
The note of preparation has been sounding at
the Front street Theatre for some weeks past,
in connection with the performance of the ira.
gedy OF Richard the Third, as produced by Mr.
B1RToN at his Theatre in Philadelphia. The
press o! that city speaks in the highest terms o.
praise OF the pageantry belonging to the histo.
real events detailed by Shakspere. Mr.. Bur.
TON has been to an enormous expense in the
formation of knightIy armours of gold, silver
steele and bronze. Armies of soldiers accou-
tired in the exact habiliments of period. gls.
tenng with steel breast plates and back pieces
iron halbeTds, bows and qulvers of arrows
shields with rich devices, billmen, spearmen
flags OF the various parties, bannerets and ha II
armours for the squires or pursuivants at arms,
armorlal bearings in gold and silver-beautiful
views of the actual places where the historical
events occurred, painted by the celebrated
HIELGE-are some of the attractions presented
in the course Of the Tragedy. The acting will
be every way worthy of the show-a better
company could not be got together. Mr..
WALLACE, Jr., as Richard has received the
highest praises for his excellent and original
acting Mrs Walack, Mrs. Burke, Mossrs
Henkins, Arnold, D. Bowers, Marsh, and 9TH
ers, grace the dramatic list The historical
spectacle can be played but very few nights
as the manager has other attractions in store.
We bespeak the attention Of the intelligent
portion of the community to this announce
nent. A more intellectual, as well as beauti-
ul, entertainment cannot be presented to their
notice.

WRITING AGAINST TIME.-It is stated
that Mr. James, the novelist, has undertaken
for considerable sum of money, to write
three noveis-one fashionable, one histori-
cal, and one sentimental; to finish the life,
in two volumes, of any celebrated charac-
ter; to write pamphlet against the Corn
Laws; and to commence four different tales
in four different magazines: all within the
space cf a calendar month. 1t is supposed
that he will perform the task with ease, and
have two or three days to spare.

SERIOUS RENcoNTRE.-We are panied tC
learn that serious if not fatal rencontre
took place, few days ago, at the village Of
Charlotte Hall, about twenty miles from
here, between Mr. GEORGE G. AsCHoM and
Mr.. JOHN THOMAS, son of Doctr. William
Thomas, of St. Mary's county. 1t appears
that Mr.. Thomas visited Charlotte Hall on
business relating TO his profession, that OF
the law, with some two or three friends
among them his uncle, Mr.. George Thomas
and that whilst there met with Mr.. Aschom
at the hotel, with whom, we learn, Mr.. Tho
mas had not been on good terms for some
time past; in consequence OF a previous mis-
understanding between Mr. A. and Mr.. T.
father. Mr.. Aschom, from what we learn
of the origin Of the rencontre, asked Mr..
Thomas if his father had sent certain mes
sage received by a sister of his from SER
want who was sent to his fathers house on
an errand, remarking at the same time, if
he did send such message ne was id
scoundrel, whereupon Mr.. T. struck him,
and scuffle ensued There were several
persons present in the room, and they i'm
mediately inter(ered by seizing Mr. T., but
not until after he had drawn pistol from
his pocket. At this, those persons having
hold of Mr.. t., fearful Of being shot, released
him, whereupon he fired, the ball entering
the head of Mr.. Aschom, and he staggered
forward and fell upon his face Mr. A.,
when we last heard from him, was still
alive, though but slight hopes were enter
tanned Of his recovery. The ball is lodged
in his head, and several attempts to extract
it have proved unavailings Mr.. Thomas
the same evening returned to his home.

MARYLAND STATE CoLoNIzATIoN SocIE-
rY,-From the fourteenth annual report Of
the Board of Managers, we learn that the
colony Of Maryland in Liberia continues
without interruption to increase in prospe-
rity; and the Board express their grateful
sense Of that Divine protection which has
been accorded to it during the past year.
The Treasnrer's statement shows the re-
ceipts of the past year, ending December
lst, including $96464 cash on hand at the
commencement, and $4,000 received from
the State, to have been $14;263.3O; the
expenditures for the same time fell short of
this by the sum of $992.l2, the balance on
hand at the end of the year.

THE PUBLIC DEPosITEs.-The Speaker
of the House of Representatives has laid
before the House a letter from the Secretary
of the Treasury, stating that the Bank OF
Baltimore and the Bank of Louisiana, two
of the Government repositories, have been
discontinued since the last session of Con
gress; also, that the deposites have been
Withdrawn from Francis Dodge, of George
town, District of Columbia; also, from the
Bank of Wooster in Ohio. The letter is
also accompanied by the last weekly report
Of the Treasurer of the United States, show
ing the amount on deposie in the several
repositories Of the public money; also, with
a statement showing tie stocks, and thei,
amount, now deposited with the Treasure,
as collateral security for the public funds II
the custody of the various repositories.
The reasons for Withdrawing the depo
sites from the Bank of Baltimore and thf
Bank Of Louisiana, the Secretary states were
that those banks declined to furnish collat-
eral security, as requested by the Depart
ment.
With respect to the withdrawal of the
deposites from Francis Dodge and the
Wooster Bank, the Secretary says there
were no reasons for longer continuance
Of these deposites, and they were therefore
and the securities which had
been furnished were returned.
The amount of security deposited by the
Chesapeake Bank of Baltimore, as collate-
raj security for the public funds on depo-
site, is $l3O,75O-the amount deposited by
Messrs. Corcoran s. Riggs, at Washington,
is 408,50O.

THE CRoPs IN WASHINGTON County,
The Hagerstown Herald Of Freedom says
the Wheat in the neighborhood of Hagers-
town looks remarkably well, and we are
informed by persons attending court that it
looks equally as promising throughout the
county. 1t presents healthy, fourishing
appearance, and is as far advanced in growth,
this, the lst of April, as it has been in other
years on the 1st Of May. The season bids
fair to be most fruitful one

ALL, FooL's DAY IN PHILADELPHIA

ALL FooL's DAY IN PHILADELPHIA
Some wags in Philadelph on the 1st day
of last April had what they no doubt deem
ed rare sport, by giving notice in the papers
that great sights were to be seen and asto-
nishing feats to be performed during the day
i'll distant parts of the city. The most sue
cesslul hoax was the announcement that the
steamer Mount Vernon was to be launched
at Kensington. This drew together about
1000 persons, including some of the lead
ing merchants and business men of all kinds,
who after waiting until after their patience
was exhausted, found out that all the 'Gools
were not dead yet" The Chronicle SAYS
hundreds Of individuals, with the bump of
Imarvellousness largely developed, went to
the fish market to see shad that measured
only three feet three inches and half in
circumference, and had scales the size of
half dollar. In the afternoon, just after
the arrival of the foreign news, large piece
of paper was posted on tree box, in South
Third street, below Walnut, with the fol-
lowing words written on it "War!-Eng-
land has declared War against the United
States-prepare to defend yourself as .AprH
Foot" We saw number of persons stop
and read it, and 60 away looking rather
foolish. However, it cannot be elped, as
people will have their fun, and as the first
of April is the Saturnalia of mischief and
trickery, no one should get angry at such
''quips and quirks and wanton wiles.'

THE PoToMAc FlsHERIEs.-We learn
that the Fisheries on the Potomac are doing
well, considering the earliness Of the season.
They are catching from 80 to 40 thousand
herrings at dip; and also are doing we'll
in the shad line. Herrings are selling at
from 3 to 4 dollars a thousand; and shad
at from Sc Is to Sc so hundred.

CUMBERLAND BANK OF ALLEGANY-The
Patriot has seen one of the spurious notes
on this Bank. They are badly executed in
the engraving and filling up, and the paper
is withal so Indifferent, that it is scarcely
possible they could be imposed upon any
one. There is in fact no attempt at any
imitation Of the genuine note, except in the
signatures Of the President and Cashier. In
the lettering, arrangement and embellish-
ments, there is no effort to follow the origi-
nal, in any single particular-even the Bank
in the counterfeit, is entitled the "Cum5er-
land Bank" whereas the name, ''Cumber-
land Bank Of .AZIegany,' occurs conspicu-
ously in one line, in capital letters, upon the
genuine nole.

The Washington correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent Of the
Sun, under date of the Sd instant, says:
The Democratic members of both Houses
have agreed upon one masure-the Sub
Treasury-however conflicting may be their
views upon the Tariff, Oregon, and internal
improvement questions. There are now no
conservatives in regard to the policy of Sc
parating the Government from the banks
and Of demanding the payment Of Govern
ment dues in specie. The bill will undoubt-
edly pass the Senate, and will 90 into ope-
ration on the 30th of June next. 1t is GER
tain that it will continue in operation dur
ing the present Administration and unless
there should be a political revolution in
1913, or some other remarkable circum-
stances should demand the re-esablishment
of a national bank, it will probably continue
forever.
1t is the very general impression, even
among the Wings, that Executive discretion
in regard to the collection and deposite of
the public revenue, ought to be limited by
law, ond the -Sub-Treasury cannot, in this
view, be more Objectionable to any party
than the present system.
The surplus funds on hand can never
exceed seven or eight millions, (Mr Drom-
goole says five, and will, hereafter, proba-
bly, be much less; SO that the amount in
Ispecie thus distracted from the banks will
be too small to be sensibly felt. The amt
of specie now in the country is estimated
at hundred millions, while the whole
amount in the world according to Sir Ro-
bert PeeI) is four hundred and fifty millions

mocratic members of the House TO proceed.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. - Gilbert
Curtis, deaf and dumb free negro, was
shot by young man named Johnson Spal-
ding, few miles from this place on Tues
day last. Spalding according to his own
statemenD was leaving his house for the
purpose of shooting some birds for his mo-
ther when he fell in with the negro, and
wishing to Brighten him placed a cap on his
gun, which he supposed to be unloaded,
and, pointing it at him, pulled the trigger.
The gun most unfortunately proved to be
loaded, and the whole charge was lodged in
and about the hips of the negro He was
Immediately taken to the house, where he
fingered in much pain until the following
morning, when he was released by death
from his suferings. Spalding at first denied
having shot the negro, and took an oath to
that effect On being afterwards closely
Intercepted, however, by one of the gem
tIemen who served on the jury of inquest,
he acknowledged that he committed the act,
bat at the same time averred that it was en-
tirely accidental. He disappeared on Sat-
urday morning and has not since been heard
from. The officers we understand are in
pursuit of him.-Leonardtovn Beacon of

line of stockade ports; the establishment
Of an Indian agency; the prospective grant
OF lands to settlers, sc.
The Senate bill for raising one regiment
of mounted men will also probably pass, as
they will be necessary for the protection of
settlers and emigrants.
What will be done in regard 10 the war
estimates, and those preparations which "a
wise precaution demands,'' is not decided.
But, according to Mr.. Benton, who is chair
man Of the committee on Military Affairs,
and can speak er cathedra, there is no ne
cesslty for the extra appropriation of twen-
ty-one millions.
Every one is on the qui vive for the news
by the "Unicorn." But few are so sanguine
as to expect that she will bring any pacific
overture. So.
The "ffty-four party'' is becoming daily
diminished by desertion, and is reduced to
mere corporal's guard. But should the
adjustment Of the question be deferred till
after this session, it will recruit its strength
and numbers very rapidly. Hence the ne
cessity that the question, if settled peace
ably, be settled speedily.

The following Resolutions were adopted
by the Baltimore annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, recently held
in that city. The first and second resolu-
tons were adopted unanimously, and the
third with one dissenting voice:
l. ResozUed by the Baltimore annual
Conference, in Conference assembled, That
we still continue to regard ourselves con-
s'ituent part of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the United States.
2. ResozUed, That this Conference dis
claims having any fellowship with aboli-
tonism. On the contrary, while it is de-
termined to maintain its well-known and
long-es:ablished position, by keeping the
travelling preachers composing its own body
free from slavery, it is also determined not
to hold connection with any ecclesiastical
body that shall not make non-slavehold
a condition of membership in the Church;
but to stand by and maintain the Discipline
Jas it is.
4. ResozUed, That the decision of this
Conference at its last session, non-concur-
ring in the proposed alteration of the 9th
restriction, was not based upon opposition
in the Conference to fair and equitable d.
vision and distribution of the property and
funds Of the Church, as provided fer in the
