The month Of March, contrary to custom, Is
leaving US to-day IN holiday SUIT, instead Of it's
usual clustering and obstreperous manner.
The number Of foreign arrivals at this port, dur
ing the past fortnight, is greater than was ever
known before In the sameperiod Of time. The com.
merce CT Baltimore Is undoubtedly rapidly lncreas
ing, as shipping merchants are Of the right sort
and are not afraid other own shadows. Our whole.
sale merchants, however, or at least most of them.
should have served an apprehension New York
or Philadelphia before starting on their own hook.
There is no other commercial city IN the Union
that would allow nInety-nine out of every hundred
country merchants to pass throughlt imison their
way to another market. Such, however, has been
the case with Baltimore this spring not less than
two hundred having passed through here every
and SO few of them detained here, that busne IS Is
almost at a stand-sti These are stubborn facts
and Its remedy should be applied at once, or there
10 NO use OF our expanding millions of money to
build railroads for the exclusive benefit Of other
cities.
There is young man, a teacher of music,
named David Hoover, now lying IN jail here on
the charge OF attempting to shoot man named
that Hoover has sister about fifteen years Of age,
whose father and mother are both dead, and that
he was appointed by the court her guardian.
About year since he left her at board with lady
in Reading, Pa, whilst he travelled through the
country, following his pfofessi0n ION returning to
visit her, he found that during his absence John
G. Morgan, as he alleges, although married
man, had engaged the affections OF his sister un-
n ch he yuIu In a fa
bordering onl distraction, he procured pistol and
shot her seducer at heading, the ball entering his
side, and slightly woundlng him. On recovering.
Hoover followed him to this city, and was in the
act OF taking another shot at HIM when arrested
His case is sad one, the recital of which has
raised him many friends In this city, who are
determined to aid him as tar as lies in their
power.
The Susqushanna canalrade is pouring into
Baltimore pretty extensively this season No less
than sixteen boats heavily laden with the products
OF interior Pennsylvania, arrived at our wharves
yesterday.
The city Collectors office was yesterday crowd
ed to Overflow the day BY our tax
cent deduction would be made fer cash payments
before the LIST OF April. The amount received was
as much as dozen clerks could count and receipt
for. The city and State taxes this year amount to
11S cents on the 800 worth of property, belng7
cents on the 800 less than 1t was last year
Slgnora Tedesco's concert last night excelled
anything of the kind ever gwen In Baltimore. The
tickets were one dollar each, land there at least
800 persons present, comprising the supper ten
OF the city in full force. Her voice Is decidedly
grand, beyond all parallel, and the windows being
raised, could be heard in its rich melody square
from the concert room.
Nothing has transpred yet with regard 10 the
Custom House and Post Office of Baltimore. Col.
Monroe, OF the Baltimore PATRIOT stands the best
chance.
