The weather has become more moderate within
the last three days, the highest point reached by
the mercury being 50. Although we have had
nothing more than drlzzlc in this city, learn
that there have been several fine showers of rain
since Friday last in the country around.

Isaac NJ benson, Esq, the Warden Of the Ma
ryland Penltentiary, yesterday sent his resIgna-
ten TO the Governor, on account of some difficulty
between himself and the directors with regard to
the appointment OF clerk and physician tor the
institution. MIR. benson was an excellent ofleers
but he has undoubtedly acted very foolishy IN ths
matter, as lie has done the very thing that his
enemies in the board have exerted themselves to
accomplish.
The case of John Price charged with the MUIR
der of George Campbell, was yesterday called up
in the City Court, and affidavit taken by his
father, TO the effect that several important witness

be procured, the case was postponed TILL the Sep
TENDER term of the court 1t was stated that these
witnesses would prove that Price, when sober.

drunk he Is deraDgcd, and the powers OF his mind
for the time being destroyed.
Another OF those very numerous accidents Co-
CURED yesterday On the Baltimore and OHIO Rail

coming up from Locust Point, and the other
passenger train, from Harper's Ferry. One was
on the main stem, and the other on the Locust
Point switch, and 1t would almort seem that they
were racing, one to pass ahead Of the switch be-
fore the other reached it; and the other to get
ahead on the main stem. The result, consequent
ly, was, that they came IN contact ut the switch,
breaking one locomotive and shdtterlng several
cars
