LOCAL MATTERS.

CRIMINAL CouRr.-After the opening of this
court on yesterday morning, the District Attorney,
Mr.. Key, announced in appropriate terms the death
of the late President of the United States Mr. Polk
whereupon, mark of respect the court adj
journed until Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock
PUBLIC MEETnG.-The Independent Order of
Rechabtes will hold meeting this evening in the
z street Baptist Church, where addresses will be
delivered by the Rev. c. A. Davis and the Rev.
Mr.. Slicer, with appropriate odes from the choir,
and a prayer from the pastor, the Rev. g. W.
Samson. The public are invited.
PREY PoNr.-The warm weather, which is now
upon us, has already driven a number Of our citi-
zens to enjoy the refreshing and invgornting air
and luxurious bathing at this popular Pavilion, and
we learn that Baltimore and the adjoining counties
Of Maryland and Virginia also supply a goody
number. The energetic proprietors, Messrs. Kirk
wood & Keller, have made number Of improve
ments at the Point since the past season, and their
attention and courtesy TO vsiters is a subject Of
general remark. We would advise those Of our
city readers, who have the opportunity, to recupe
rate themselves by trip to the Point, where we
promise them hearty reception, and an abundance
Of the good things of life.
DosE FoR.-one Of the gentry ofthis city known
/" ringers-in" was most effectively taken in and
done for" on Wednesday evening at one Of our ho-
tells. He had most pcrseverngly annoyed gem
e.. G
prevailed in obtaining the needful and thereupon
Of the proprietors offered to sell him a ticket
which he said had been left with him for sale The
ticket was bought, the victim departed, and the mo-
ney returned to the gentleman, the ticket which
was sold was one Of the Assembly tickets Of ast
winter, and "no go" at the circus. In about half
an hour our hero returned, and complained Of the
trick, which the proprietor explained as a mistake
in giving him the wrong ticket, and Immediately
furnished him with another, with which he again
departed. Whether he succeeded any better with
the second, (Which was one for Nichols benefit last
winter at the Adelphi,) we have not learned but,
we have no doubt, the ticket failing, he managed by
some means to ring in upon the circus"
THr C,SaL.-At an adjourned meeting Of citi-
zens Of the Second ward, held last evening at the
Public school house, corner Of @ and l4th Streets
resolutions were adopted requesting the city au-
thorities to suspend the further prosecution Of the
cleaning Of the canal until the LIST Of November, and
recommending the citizens Of the other wards to
take prompt action on the subject. Petitions are
also in circulation throughout the city, advising the
corporation to the like effect

EXHIBITION or GERMAN PRODUCTS.

A general exhibition in this city of the produce
and manufactures Of the Zoll-veren is in contempla
ton. The manufacture of silks and half-silks, as
you are aware, is most extensive in Germany. The
culture Of silk in that country began in the time of
Frederick the Great and is now carried on with the
greatest success and on the largest scale. The chief
manufactures in the Zo-verein are in the Russian
Rhine provinces; and the exports to this country
amount to about one million of dollars No doubt
the proposed exhibition will be very attractive and
interesting.

The following Despatch of Foreign News
was received n, this office al Half pas,
Twelve o'clock, yesterday morning.
BALTIMORE MAY 4, 1910.
The Steamer America arrived at Hail.
fax yesterday, having sailed from Liver.
pool on the 2lsl Of April.
During the week that has elapsed since
the sailing Of the Cambria, the Political
affairs Of the Continent have become much
more complicated, and the prospect Of a
general War more threatening.
In addition to the existing troubles on
the Continent, which sl,ll continue TO 60
on, France now shows disposition 10 take
a part, by interfering ia the Papal quarrel.
The French Government have dciermin.
ed to reins,ate Pope Plus, and have already
taken active measures to carry out their
determination.
A force fully adequate for the cmergen.
cy has recently been despatched for Civi,
Ia Vecchia, aud the result is inevitable
tina, tho other powers too must now be
drawn into the quarrel.
10 the meantime the War on the Con.
iiuent continues with undated fury, and
with the mos, disastrous consequences TO
all parties. Sangunary conflicts, invol
wing loss Of life. aud immense destruction
of property still 60 on, without any pros.
pect Of o speedy termination.
England alone continues quiet, The only
item from there is in relation to the me.
ditaied return Of the visit made by the
French National Guards TO London, for
which arrangements are now being made.
The Danish War still goes on, and lhr
Danes are enforcing stric, blockade Of all
tho German ports--so strict indeed tina.
