Murder Trials-Co@ of John Price-Disagres-

Observation-Disclosures, &c.
The present week will be one of strong excite
ment in Baltimore, as the trial OF John Price, for
the murder Of George Campbell, commences this
morning. He protests that he was crazy, from the
effects of liquor, when he committed the deed, and
had nei,hermaice enmlty against the deceased.
His life has been such continual series of out
RACES, on all who came in contact with him, that
he seems to receive not the slightest commlsera-
ton from any one, and, unless the jury should DO
packed, he will probably be hung, AS there are
witnesses who will prove that he made threats
against Campbell on the day preceding the murder:
The jury, in the case OF John Dunn, returned
INTO court yesterday morning, aud being un ibc
to agree. wer. discharged. His counsel then made
an application for bail, which was resisted by the
Attorney General, on the ground that ne now hdd
a witness TO prove previous threats on the part oil
the prisoner against his vctm This put new
feature on the case, and he was remanded 10 prison.
North street, or what is called the Meadow"
the houses OF which have, Tor many years, been at
most exclusively occupied by harlots, has, within
the two last years, beensalmost regenerated ; and
even those who owned the property in which they
lived, have been driven from their headquarters.
This has been effected by a combination OF the
property holders beyond the infected district, who
employed "a man to watch every young man who
treoueuted these houses, and on the next day he
would receive an anonymous letter, informing him
that his movements were watched, and that u no
was found in that locality again, the fact would be
reported TO his parents employers. The conso-
quence Is, that even the grand temple erected by
Mrs Price has been wholly unoccupled tor "A year
past and that, instead of at least enc hundred
fourishing houses of this character, there Is now
scarcely a half dozen left, in lingering condition.
