BALTIMORE, March ~, lS47
A real t" Norther'-1rade of Baltimore in Bread
,tufs -Tiae-water Canat-More Rape Cases-
The Markets Stock Board, &c.
We have had during the past night what they
would cal on the Gulf coast regular "norther,"
which still continues 10 rage with undminished
power 1t is accompanied by an atmosphere
some 20 degrees colder than it was yesterday,
rendering gDoves and overcoats among the essen
uals his morning. 1t has doubtless done con-
siderable damage TO the vessels in the bay.
The trade of Baltimore in breadsiuffs still con-
tnues to be very active. During the week end
ing last evening, twelve vessels have cleared for
Europe, with cargoes comprising 81, 1874 barrels
Of -four, l29, 500 bushels of wheat $50 barrels of
corn meal, and other articles. There are also
twenty-five vessels now taking in cargoes for
Europe, entirely OF breadstufs.
The sales of -Four in our market this week for
foreign export are at least 20 GOO barrels and the
inspection returns of the week show an aggre-
gate of receipts OF upwards of 80, 900 barrels
The receipts OF corn, wheat and flour, by way
of the Tide Water Canal from the interior OF
Pennsylvania, is very large
We have now in Jail, waiting trial, no less than
three men, two white, and one black, fully COM
mitted on the charge of rape. They are all, too,
Of the most infamous character A fourth one
/ have not yet learned. We will have some rich
trials at the spring term OF the Court; and III
case, at least, that of Swapping negro, who
seized young and innocent white girl in the
street, knocked her insensibe, and then accom-
plished his purpose, probably another hanging
match. However, the more direct the testimony,
and the higher the grade OF the offence, the less
prospect Of the convection OF prisoner before
u Baltimore city jury. The only convictions that
take place in our Courts of late, in cases
where some poor devil steals loaf of bread, or a
piece of bacon, to keep his soul and body to-
gether.
