MARYLAND SMALL NoTEs.- Petitions
ere in circulation in various parts Of the
State, urging upon the Legislature q, its sp.
proaching session to repeal SO much of the
law passed at its late session, as prohibits
the Banks Of Maryland from issuing notes
Of a less denomination than five dollars

convenience Of The people Of all portions

How IT WoRKs-Thc Howard Gazette
Of last Saturday, notices the recent decision

In connection with this case, we NAV
state that Mr.. Timanus, named in enrther
par, of this paper as going to California. had
intended taking with him servant who has
five years to serve. and the man was verv
anxious to 60, but after taking him to Bal
limore, he was advised no, TO risk the trouble
and expense Of New York Interference, and
the man came back very reluctantly to this
place on Thursday morning. Cannot we
get steamers in our southern ports, and thus
obvIae such vexatious meddIng with our
interests.

FOUND DEAD.-Two men were found
dead in different parts Of our county on
Thursday morning last. One of them was
white man named VIM. Howard, and the
other a negro belonging TO Mr.. Henry A.
Neae. We understand that both Of these
persons were attending the races, and had
become intoxicated before they left the
ground. Mr.. Howard was subject to fits,
and it may be sha! he was attacked by one,
and receiving no assistance, died in the
road, where he fell, from the effects Of it,
The negro undoubtedly died from exposure,
having laid down near the foot Of Mount
Hill, just outside our village, in state OF
intoxica,ion. sad and melancholy lesson

FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE LuBos
QuEsrloN.-The recently published -=.ase-
ment, that settlement Of the Lobos difficult
ty had been made between the Department,
Of State and the Peruvian Minister, is con-
frmed by The Washington papers. The In
te7igencer publishes the following au.hen-
tic information as TO the NATURE of the ar
rangement:
1t will be recoIlected that Mr.. Webster,
in his letter 81 the 2lst of August, which
was laid before Congress and has been ex-
tensively published, informed the Peruvian
Charge d'Affairs tina! the United States would
| still consider the question Of the Lobos Is
lands as an open one, and give full consider
alton 10 any arguments or facts which might
be adduced to show the position and occu-
pancy Of those islands by Peru; that Mr.
Clay, our Charge at Lima, should be writ
ten to for information and that in The mean
time the order Of the 5,h Of June, by which
Commodore McCauley was directed to pro-
tect American vessels in taking guano from
the Lobos Islands, should be suspended,
which was done on The Oath of August
Communications were received from Mr.
Clay in advance of the dispatches sent him
for that purpose and on arrival of the Pc
ruvian Envoy, Mr.. J. J. de Osma, an able
note was addressed by him TO Mr.. Webster
in support of the claims Of his G overnmen,
Further communications Of the greatest i'm
porlance have from time to time been re-
ceived from Mr.. Clay, and through him from
the Peruvian Government al Lima.
The subjec, having been fully reconsid-
cred, and the arguments and facts derived
from the sources just mentioned, and from
various other quarters, having been duly
weighed, the President came TO the conclu-
! sion; which was unanimously concurred in
by the Cabinet, that it was just and proper
10 Withdraw the objections taken by the
late Secretary of State to the rights Of Peru
and TO acknowledge unreservedly her SOW
ereignty over the Guano Islands on heI
coast and in her possession. 1t would have
been in the Presidents power to stipulate
as the condition Of this acknowledgment
tina, Peru should make liberal provision fol
the American vessels chartered under TIT
order Of the 9Th Of June but, having made
UD MS lDIuu tudt VIC tlIC vi eIu WAS CledI
and that it had been hastily questioned by
I the United States, it seemed to him right I,
, make the acknowledgment voluntarily an,
wi,hou. condition.
1t is but just to Peru TO say that the con
fidence reposed in her Government has no
5 been disappointed. 1t was already known
s from a communication Of the Minister O
Foreign Affairs to Mr.. Clay, that the Gov
eminent Of Peru was willing to freight OF
her account the American vessels char,ere.
for guano, and that notification to this eff
feet. addressed TO American vessels in til
: Pacific, had been published by Mr.. Clay

FINANCES OF MARYLAND.-lt is said the
payments into The treasury Of Mary land, for
the present year, have been larger than in
any former one. The Argus learns that
over fve hundred thousand dollars of The
State debt has been paid off scithin The pre-
sent fiscal gear. As the debt thus dimin-
ishes, the surplus revenue will Increase, ard
next year it is said that, with the same ratio
of taxation, nearly 100000 can be paid
upon the State debt, thus demonstrating tina,
the present rate Of taxation will in some
FIVE or six years pay off the entire taxable
portion Of the debt, end perm. the repeal

INTERESTING DISCOVERIES IN PERSIA.
A mixed commission which embraces Eng
land, Russia and Persia, is now engaged in
establishing the boundary line between Per
STA and Turkey, about which there has long
been difficulties Col Williams, we'll kno wn
to many Americans, and man Of character
on the authority Of a scientific American writ
ting from Persia, the Boston Chronicle re-
la,es the following:
In the prosecution of this work the COM
missioners have come upon the remains OF
the ancien. palace Shushan, mentioned in
the sacred books of Esther and Daniel, to-
eelher with the tomb of Daniel, the Prophet
The locality answers 10 the received lradi-
ton of its position, and the internal evidence
arising from its correspondence with the
description Of the palace recorded in the sa-
cred history, amount almost to demonstra-
ton. The reader can turn to Esther, chap.
l., v. 6, there he will read Of "pavemenl
ofred, and blue, and white, and black marble
in that palace" Tha, pavement still exists,
and, as described by Gel. Williams, cores
ponds to the description given thus in the
sacred history. And in the marble columns,
dilapidaled ruins, the sculpture and the re-
naming marks Of greatness and glory that
are scattered around, the commissioners
read the exact truth of the record made by
the sacred peEman.
Not far from the palace stands tomb
on it is sculptured the figure Of a man bound
hand and foot, with huge lion in the ac'
Of springing upon him to devour him. Nc
history could speak more graphically the
story of Daniel in the Lions Den. The
Commissioners have with them an able
corps Of engineers and scientific men, and
most interesting discoveries may be expect
ed. The Persian arrow-heads are founl
upon the palace and the tomb. Glass bot.
ties, elegan! as those placed upon The toile
tables Of the ladies Of our day, have beer
discovered which bear out The statements
of the Bible. Thus, twenty-five hundre,
wears after the historians of Ester and DAME
| made their records, their histories are veri
fed by the peaceful movements of the ma
tons Of our day.

APPEAL FROM JUDGE PAINE's DECISION
The case Of the Lennon slaves has been
appealed TO the Supreme Cour, Of n Y ork
which is to meet in New York city on the
| 18Th of December next. If Judge Paine's
decision should be reversed, ii is not at all
probable that the slaves will be within reach:
nor would Mr.. Lennon, says the Journal
tot Commerce, have any objection to relin-
quish all claim TO them, after receiving the
indemnifying money which is in process OF
collection, were it not that such formal re-
| linquishment, al this time, would render j,
impossible TO les. The important legal ques-
lion involved, by prosecuting the case in
the higher courts. Should it be brought BY
appeal to the United States Supreme Court
The decision of Judge Paine will certainly
be reversed, and on the grounds taken by
The counsel Of Mr.. Lennon, to wit: that,
by reason Of the comfy existing between
the several States of the Union, the citizens
of slave State have right to take their
slaves through a free State, in transitu, to
another slave State and that the New Y ork
statute is merely prohibition of the intro
duclion Of slaves into the State for the pur-
pose Of removing or residing there either
permanently or temporarily.
