Fsstaral of st. Patrick-A Clear Day." Jesse

The Campbells, &c.
The annual festival of the Hibernla Society of
Baltimore, will take place this evening, at Thurs
toms Fountain Hotel, and will be grand affair.
BY the way, the sun is shining out brightly this
morning, and there Is every prospect Of beautiful
day, which will be the first fair day on record for
st. Patrick's festival.
The Mayor of Baltimore is one of those good,
honest old souls, that makes himself frequently
ridiculous, without actually knowing that he is
doing SO. He Is perfect "Jesse Rural" IN
every phase of his character, and falls into as
many blunders as that worthy divine. did, all
having their origin in the goodness Of his heart
and an accommodating disposition. Yesterday
he sent a message to the Council, recommending
an increase of the salaries of the City Commits
sioners, which contained the substance of a con-
versatlOn and the arguments OF the lncumbens In
behalf of the proposed advance. They doubtless
intended that the old gentleman should make the
application as II at his own suggestion, without
any alluson to their solicitation; but the old fell
low knows nothing about chlcanery and cunning,
and told the Council the whole story as it had
been told to him.

The Hixehmax Conspiracy Case-Miss,c, &c.
The defence in the Hlnchman conspiracy cases
was commenced last evening by J. Williams Bid
die, Esq, one Of the counsel ON that SIDE He
stated that the proceedings were commenced at
the desire Of Morgan Hnchman's mother and wife,
who believed that his mental health required con-
hnement and proper treatment, to avert a more
confirmed attack of his ailment-that Morgan
Hinchman shocked his mother and wife, shortly
after his marriage by relating that he had taken
considerable sum Of money from the bank OF which
he was teller and he felt that If he did not rise up
in meeting and tell il, that God would strike his
Oldest child dead This they found to be true, but
believed il must have been done while insane.
The defence also aver that they can prove insane
acts for the past nine years. The court adjourned
over till Monday morning, when the witnesses to
prove insanity will be brought forward. The num-
Der of persons implicated IN the charge, will hln-
der them from appearing as witnesses. An effort
has been made to overcome this difficulty, by the
counsel for the defence moving that verdicts of
acquta be entered for several of them, In order
that they can appear and testify to facts within
their knowledge.
