The weather for the past week, in this vicinity,
has been more like March than the fruit-ripenins
month of June, summer apparel being still dis
carded for the mere substantial texture Of early
spring and winter.
The trial of John Drum for killing John Brown,
will re-sommence this morning. The first jury, it
is understood, could not agree as to the grade of
manslaughter. Two hundred and seventy tales
men were called yesterday ,Iand but nine jurymen
obtained out of this number.
The steamer Chesapeake, Captain Mix, from
Baltimore for New York, when In the Chesapeake
Bay on Wednesday night last, came in contact
with steamer, supposed to be the Washington, OF
Baltimore, and had her bowsprt and eutwater car
ried away, besides being otherwise damaged.
arrived here yesterday from Bremen, bringing a
large number Of emigrants The Gustav had l70,
and the Martha l44. The German emigrants that
at hose pSSseng of
ports, and en- landing, move off in body for the
west. They are generally well clad, ceanly and
ubstantial looking people.
There is quite scramble going on here for tho
political nominations this fall John kcttewei,
Mendez j. Cohen, and Pnkney White, want to-
represent the democrats in Congress; whilst Major
~. For United States Senator, in place OF Re
verdy johnson, there are wing candidates from all
parts OF the State; but IN this city George II. Rich
ardson, Esq, and the Hon. John. p; Kennedy are
badly receive it. II Mr.; Richardson will accept,
he will be the man. John J. Speed, Esq, is also
prominent candidate.
Major Henley one of the Mexican fighters, is
mentioned as the whg candidate for Congress; but
there is chance for the election of wing,
there are but few desirous of obtaining the nomna
tion. The democratic candidates for the Legisa-
ture are, however, very numerous, and daily IN
creaslng 1t is the primary school for aspiring poll
ticIans, and Is regarded az the entering wedge to
Congress. Two of the members of the last Legls-
laiure, Messrs. Cohen and White, are now out for
Congress; but imagine that the one who will re-
celve the nomination is not yet mentioned, and he
is - Cox, who was decidedly the most able
of the Baltimore delegatlon if not the ablest man
in the House of Delegates.
Our Collector has not vet made his appointment
Of subordinates, or rather should say the Depart
ment has not yet acted on his nomnatons. II is
understood, however, that not more than half OF
those nominated will be confirmed, and others sub
sttnted by the Department. Col. Kane has cOnse-
quently given no promises, and allowed no one to
know who he has or has not sent IN tor coniirma-
tlon.
