BALTIMORE, February 26-5p. m
The announcement in the Republic this morning
of decided improvement in the health of the ven-
cradle patriot. Henry Clay has been received with
universal pleasure by citizens, and the prayer
of the Kentucky Convention that he may yet be
long spared to receive and enjoy the outpouring
gratitude of grateful people is heartily respond
ed to.
The rotation doctrines OF Governor Lowe have
been fully carried out, and the Sun this morning
contains IL list Of about three thousand appoint
ments and removals, covering all the office holders
in every county Of the State. The new appoint
ments, so far those Of this city are concerned,
of a much better character than was expected,
and give pretty general satisfaction to those who
have no personal interest involved in their salaries.
In the criminal court yesterday Joshua Morgan
was convicted of murder in the first degree, for
killing Waterman McGovern in November last by
stabbng him with dirk. The accused, with two
others, were fighting, when McGovern attempted
to separate them, when he received fatal stab in
the breast.
I.olo Montez was received last night by a
crowded audience on her first appearance in Bal.
timore. Her style of dancing, and her dress, are
much more modest and becoming than those OF
her profession generally.
A town meeting held ut the Exchange to-
day and resolutions adopted in favor of the repeal
of the stamp tax which has been in operation in
Maryland for several years past, having been
enacted to aid in relieving the State from pecu-
mary embarr assment. The cause for il now being
deemed as past, effort is to be made for its
repeal.
In the Baltimore market this morning there

"a 81 before the receipt of the Atlantic's news,
wheo it declined, with sales Of 500 barrels at
50 25. Sales also of $500 barrels City Mills. be-
fore the news, at 81 81, and 500 barrels after
wards at So 25. No change in grain.

four grooves in the rifle cannon about half an
inch deep by half inch broad each, and the shot
and shell intended to be fired from IL made OF
the cylindro conica sugar loaf shape, with four
projecting parts on each to enter and fill the
grooves Both shot and shell are galvanized, and
so smooth and not liable TO rust by that process That
they may be rammcd home with the CREATES, easo--
the simple pressure Of the hand being Sufficient to
place them nm arms length into the mouth of the
cannon, although they are made TO fit more full
than the spherical shot docs. and consequently they
will have lees windagc and require less charge OF
powder. The sugar loaf shape OF the new galvan-
lied iron shot renders il Of far greater weight

pie which IL will proceed after being fired from
