The trial Of Robert Swami for the murder
of young Sprigg, came up before the Wash
ingion County Circuit Court on Monday
last. We learn from the peoples Own that
the counsel for The prisoner would not con-
sent to the appointment Of a judge, contend
ing that the case was moved from Allegany
county illegally. The trial, therefore, has
been postponed until the March term Of
court. The prisoner and the witnesses en-
tered into bond for their appearance.

SHAMEFUL UTRAGE.-On Monday night
at about nine O'Clock, as MIR. Alexander
Franklin, from West river, Anne Arundel
county. was going to friends house
in Lexington street, and when near Eu-
.aw street, he was attacked by set of
rowdies, and most cruelty beaten. The OBJ
jec,, no doubt, was plumber, but Mr. F. had
not taken his money with him, and thus es-
capped being robbed"
The above is but one Of great many
outrages, Of similar character, that have
been committed in Baltimore city lately
Not only are outrsges committed in tie
more retired sections Of The city, but upon
The mos, public thoroughfares. A few nights
since, we observed in looking over one of
the city papers, gentleman was attacked
by party Of rowdies in Baltimore street
he shot one Of them, however, and was then
allowed TO pass on. Since lawlessness is
permitted 10 this extent, we feel it our duty
to caution our citizens visiting that place,
to go prepared to defend themselves. 1t is ia
duty to do so, as it is apparent. the city-au-
Ihorities do not use suitable means 10 pro-
tect orderly citizens.

view to test the validity of Judge Paine's
decision, whenever requested to do SO by
three of the subscribers to the indemnify.
viz: Judge Paine, Walter R. Jones, and
James Boorman. 1t is understood that if
the manumission were to be carried into ef-
feet now, it would put an end 10 the appeal
which has been taken TO the Supreme Court
of New York, and prevent an appeal TO any
higher tribunal. Itappears tia. $500 more
than required was subscribed, and the Jour-
nal of Commerce says it was agreed ,ha,
the 500 SO literally subscribed by Judge
Paine, and the $50 subscribed by Mr.. Le-
paugh, Lemmon's counsel, (who rendered
his professional ces,gra,uitously,) ought
to be returned to those gentlemen respec-
lively, which has been done accordingly.

DRowNED.-A likely young Negro man,
belonging to Mr.. JOSEPH LLOYD, of this
county, while crossing Maltawoman creek
in small boat, on last Sunday week, fell
over board and was drowned. Our inform
ant states that the negro was drunk /; other

but few feet from the shore. How many
more deaths by im.emperance shall it be
our painful duty to record! From the
"signs" it is evident that the curse is fear
fully on the increase in our county, and if
something is not done to arrest it, there is
no telling the amount of misery it may oc-
casion even in circles as yet free from its
poisonous and destructive influence.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 90, Is


GRAIN Uheat-The price of Wheat has lit
tie further declined. Sales were made to-day of
good to prime reds at 100 1915 cts, and of whites
at 1913 10 cts.
Corn-Sales Of Corn to-day at 63 6i cts, for
new yellow White is dull, and would bring on
ly Sc 60 cts.
Oats.-4l 43 cents per bushel.
ToBAcco.-The market since our last has as
sumed the quiet state which ususualIy prevails at
this season, and We consequently enabled to
report but few transactions. There are no ships
loading Tobacco for Europe at present, and there
is but little disposition to ship at this time,
sells will net reach their destination much sooner
than if dispatched two months hence and both
freights and insurance are higher than they
toward, the Spring. The latest aseounts from
Germany and Holland are less favorable than they
have been, and shippers inclined to be more
cautious in their movements. These several facts,
operating the market, tend materially to check
operations. The attention Of purchasers is most
ly directed to parcels Of Maryland Ground Leaf,
which sell at 81 81. The receipts, as will be
seen by the Inspections, are quite small. We
quote as before, viz:
Maryland Ground leaf S3.50a7 ; Frosted 1926
a4 inferior 81 So good common S4.75a5 25;
brown S. 50a7 so, and fine brown IS 9.
