Mr. LEROY resumed the floor and contlnss

the position. This law proposed to take Es'

and TO appropriate 1t TO the uses and purposefH

The editor of the Baltimore Patriot has seen a
file OF the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Ad-
vertiser," published in Baltimore in 1882. He
says:
The paper is about the size of large cap sheet
was printed weekly, on Tuesday, by Miss Nj X
Goddard, at the Postoffice, Market street, next
door below the Fountain Inn. This is the ninth
volume of the paper, so it must have been com
menced to be printed in 1774.
" In the number for January l, is published ac.
counts from London to October Is, which was
then considered late news. The latest from New
York appear to be of December Is, so that sixteen
days from New York to Baltimore was not then
considered slow.
SIN extra, issued on the Sth of JNnuary, is
published some thoughts which I naturally arose
to the writer's mind, on hearing'o Of the capture o
Corvallis In the same extra is published no.
tice that mail between Baltimore town and
Montgomery county, has been established.
:" There was theatre even in those days in Bal
timore. On the 18th of January the manager,

musicians, (the only obstacle to their opening tn.
thsatre) will give generous employment to thos,
who will immediately apply The advertisement
is dated 'Lindsay's Coffeehouse, Fell's Point.
On the 25th of January, 1852, there was performed

CONVICTION FOR MURpER.-The Mobile Reg
lister of Monday, says Ezekiel Morgan indicted for
the murder Of Michael Curtain, was convicted o.
murder in the first degree, and our statute gives
the jury discretionary power either to hang ol
confne the cuprit in the pententary for life, the
latter punishment was chosen. The prisoner was
tried and convicted Of the homicide of Stanton il
Monroe county, Miss, some years ago, and con
fined in the pententiary at Jackson, and was par
doned and released by Governor Tucker. The
circumstances under which this homicide tool
place furnished great room for the exercise of Ex-
ecutive clemency. Stanton had grossly outraged
the feelings and honor of defendent by tauntins
him falsely with the inidelity of his wife wher
they met, whether in public or in pr, ate. Morgan
in order to satisfy himself of her innocence mar
rowy watched her conduct, and when again he
saw Stanton, the slanderer told him that he ha,
| dishonored his bed, and being requested to nam
the place and time, did so. The p ace named wa
| Morgan's house, and on the night stated, Morgan
was at home, confined with chill and fever, and hi
wife attending him. Instantly Stanton fell
corpse at his feet.

the tension of the thread is adjusted in moment

Mr.. CAss, AMERICAN CHARGE AT RoME-
In the Roman dungeons of D'Anzo and Saint An.
gelo are confined thirteen prisoners, whose mex
piable crime consists in having participated in the
late revolutionary struggle, which had for its object
to secure to the inhabitants of the Pontf' domin-
ions the inestimable ghts of representation, to-
gether with other constitutional reforms. They are
not OF the class OF fanatics factious demagogues
who have defled noble cause not less in Italy
than in France, but OF high character and 10 ty
principles, who, in the good fight for the benefit Of
their children and their childrens chidren-of those
who are to come after them-hazarded ALL and lost
all. Among them are five counts and one marquis,
OF ancient blood, whose lineal descent goes back
without break or interruption to the middle ages.
They have been declared for incapable of ho d.
ing property of whatsoever description. For seven
long months they have languished in loathsome
dungeons. There they lie, herding with bandits
and felons and brigands and day after day, the
prospect OF their liberation, so far from becoming
brighter, grows only darker and more hopeless
There they lie-those noble, noble gentlemen
weary of life, and sick OF this most base world,
with no spot, stain, or blemsh on their reputa-
ton, save the sin OF having struck for liberty. The
government will not release them, for the dissent
nation OF republican sentiments is fatal to its very
existence. Neither can it exile them, for no coun-
try in Europe will harbor such propagandists
Nov, what has been done for them? Why, Mr..
Cass your minister, has proposed to the Papal au-
hortes to send them to California himself engag-
ing to pay three thousand dollars for their expenses
in French ship, which will leave Bordeaux for
that destination in the month of February.
The Cardinals have accepted this proposal, agree
ing to liberate these gentlemen nine days prior t.
| the departure of the vessel in question, which af
fords them just sufficient time to reach that seaport
Honor to your minister, and to the glorious Ian,
from which he comes. His conduct has elicte.
deep admiration; and well it may. To me- and t.
men like myself, bounded from country to country
whose dream for long years has been of liberty
| whose sole aspiration is pursue the example o
| your Incompatible republic it stands out like
beacon OF light to the despairng mariner, wher
| night and tempests have closed around him. |
| you have more of this breed, send them, | pra,
| you to Naples and Vienna, and Milan, in the dun
| geons OF which the desoate champions of liberty
abandoned, in manacles, and bowed down to earth
are praying for death for release.
