I'VE see statement by 4 cores
pondent of she Baltimore San, that Mr..
Potter, our consul at Valparaiso has been
summarily recalled. No reason is sta
ted. We regret that anything should
have occurreh to render his recall neces-
sary.
IuE FlsHERIEs.-Our fishermen are
getting their seines and boats in order
for the fishing season, which will now
soon commence. We learn that more
shores will be fshed in the county this
spring, than for several years past.
u The Washington Hotel in this
town was offered for sale on Saturday
last, but there were no bidders. A new
building put up on that lot, with Offices
and stores in the basement, and a hotel
above, would be fine Improvement to
the town and could not fail to be good
investment.

attend the ceremonies of the presentation
of a bible by the ladies of Chesapeake
City, to Bohemia Lodge |. 0. 0. +.

Bank. The front, we understand, is to
be of hewn granite; it is to be built by
Mcssrs Reynolds s Rawlings contrac-
tors.
AnvERTIslNG.-The Cecil Wing has a
large circulation in this county, and is
sent also, to some extent to Kent Co., to
Delaware, and Chester Co., Pa, and

sing medium to merchants and others
in the neighborng villages and cities
There are to-day several new ADVERTISE
ments from Wilmington and Philadcl-
phia, to which attention is called.
Deputy STATES ArToR NEy.-Richard
Grason, Esq, has been appointed deputy
States attorney for Cecil county.
Offenders against the State will nomore
trcmble beneath the fervid and forcible
eloquence of our young friend Wickes,
but he may be their defender now, so
that their fears may well give place to
hope. In civil cases we shall undoubt- I
eddy, still hear him often here.
