The meeting at the Museum last evening" turned
Out pretty much as was anticipated, only that the
Mayor was not present, and of course did not pre-
side. ]. Fisher Leaning, Esq, occupied the chair.
Mr.. Haynes said but little, his tongue being tied on
the subject of which he and the sailors of our Navy
have most cause to complain Judge Kelly took
up the cudgel on the subject of hoggng, and read
some resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting on that and the grog ratons. A resolution
was then adopted for another meeting when Mr.
Haynes will have an opportunity of giving his ex-
perlence OF the benefits which this relic OF barba-
rous ages has had upon the character OF the Ameri
can seaman.
On Thursday the whole fashionable circles of
Baltimore were thrown INTO an uproar by whls-
red announcement that one of their most distin-
guished bellies, Miss Stevens, with her cousin, a
no less fashionable lady, had eoped from the State
of Maryland and entered the state of matrimony.
A despatch was transmitted from this city, and on
the arrival OF the Baltimore train, the young ladies
stepped out, accompanied by their husbands Mr..
John f.. Owens, the celebrated comedian, and Mr..
Gallagher. member of the theatrical company
under his management. The knots had been tied
so tight that nothing less than the Alexandran
sword can sever them, and the happy couples spent
their evening very pleasantly at Hartwes, from
whence they departed yesterday morning for New
York. Mr.. Owens is well known to our citizens
as the original personator of Jaley in the "Glance
in Philadelphia"
compimental benefit is to be given shortly to
Peter Richings, at the Walnut Street Theatre
