Fwemen's Celebration of the Sabbath Commerce

mOre-Mr Johnson--&ock M1rkct, &c.
As has been customary for some time past, Sa-
,urday night and Sunday was observed by the fire.
men of Baltimore, by several grand rows, result
Ing in some twenty or more Of them being lodged
IN the watch house, two or three being shot and
stabbed, and some of the police receiving consider
able damage. However, it Is not far to st,gmatise
the whole fire department as rowdies. the parties
participating in these riots being the New Market,
1udepe ndent, Waichman, and Vlgiant, with the
United sometimes to take hand.
The number OF vessels IN port on Saturday, ex-
elusive Of bay craft, was 10 ships, barks, 81
bnes, and % sch eOners-1 Otal 50.
There are but two ships up here now for Callfor
mia, the Manchester and the Andalusla. T1e
Manchester will sail next week, and will take
out the Rev. Mr.. Taylor and lady. with two other
female relatives. and large and respectable par
tysf passengers. Mr.. Taylor Is cen, out by the
Methodist Episcopal Church. as a missionary,
and takes with HIM the frame work tor church,
and a parsonage, and Is well supplied with all the
articles necessary for settlement in ne W coun-
try He is young man, most enthusiastically
devoted to his calling; and as he stood In the
market house yesterday afternoon, preaching to
the multitude, with his hair streaming In the
wind, looked like ST. John preaching IN the wall
derness.
Isaac M. benson, ESQ., the warden of the p.nl-
".
Governor Of Maryland, but has since sent a mes
senger to withdraw it. The cause is said to be
the removal of all the old officers Of the establish
ment, and the appointment OF men incompetent
and inefficient, by the Board OF Commissioners.
They removed men who are as necessary to the
establishment az the walls and machinery, be-
cause they happened to be wings, and appointed
those to fill their places who will probably never
be competent because they are democrats.
SIgnorna Tedesco gives second concert to-
morrow evening at Carroll Hall, which will doubt
less be a great affair. The receipts at her first
concert were 1915, and the expenses less than $75
The postmaslership Of Baltimore Is now said to
be settled on Mr. Maddox, at pre- sent, aud for ma
ny years past, chief clerk In the Offices The other
applicants, Col. Monroe, of the Baltimore Patriot,
and L. Collins Lee, are as wrathy as feas IN tar
bucket, and have gwen up all hopes. As have
said frequently before, the altimore appointments
get in the palm of the hand Of the Hon Reverdy
johnson; and those who stood quietly by and saw
HIM booted and Kissed in the rotunda of the Ex-
change, need expect no mercy. The Patraot was
silent the subject, not having uttered word oil
condemn ation and Mr.. Johnson has doubtless an
wallrne and gnashpg OF teeth yet from this cause.
The Patriot also tndeavored to turn the tide
against HIM Tor his speech on the Mexican war,
and every body else members that, if Mr.. John-
son does not and, II my memory stands good,
took ground against him when a candidate for
United States Senator, some years since.
