MUsIcAL.-Mr. Dempster's musical entertain

Jo," "The Barring O. the Door," and "The May

DANGER FROM THE ESCAPE OF GAs.-Owing to
an escape Of gas from the pipes being laid for the
use of Mr.. J. G. McKelden's ba king establishment
on 7th street, during Monday night most serious
consequences were hazarded. A light, used in ascer
tanning the cause Of a strong smel of gas, gnited
it, and produced an explosion No serious per-
sonal harm, however, was done, and fortunately
but little injury to the building. Those engaged
in laying Of pipe, well all others interested,
should be careful in seeing that the escape Of gas
is prevented.

MY DEAR Sin. ! have read and rnaturely con
sdcrcd the various petitions and letters which have
been presented To you in behalf of Antonio Lopez,
and more especially those cmsnating from the
Spanish minister, and consequent thereon from the
President, Secretary Of State, and United States
Attorney General The frank, and, under exist
ing circumstance, the very proper manner in
which these distinguished gentlemen have cS.
pressed their desire for executive clcmcncv cntito
them TO the highest consideration; and while, as a
general principle, cannot recognise the propricty
OF interference the part of foreign functionarics
of Federal officers with matters purely affecting
the police regulations and exclusively within the
control Of the State authorities, ] am free to soy
that the ground upon which the present application
ia based forms a clear and just exception to THE
general rule.
Discarding all those considerations resting upon
The supposion by the highly respectable and char
liable individuals who have addressed you Of the
innocence of the prisOner-most certainly upon the
evidence and upon information received BY me
since the trial an unfoynded supposition-l place
the case upon ground upon which. If at ALL oxecu-
tive interpretation most be placed. That ground is
the recent noble act OF mercy on the part Of the
Queen OF Spain toward the unfortunate citizens of
our own country who had incurred the penalties of
the violated laws OF Spain
Fully approaching this high act of royal elem
ency, rarely exhibited by the crowned heads Of
Europe toward political offenders; recognising in il
those pure md holy feelings of humanity and
Christian boncvolcnco which, as n part of The fe.
male character, in this case adorn the sovereign.
and reciprocating the friendly feelings thus evinccd
towards our common country, cannot but advise
compliance with the wishes so fnirly expressed of
her accomplished representative, as favor per
eons TO himself well. deserved by bis efficient en-
deavors in behalf Of our unfortunate countrymen,
and through him evincinP, on the part OF one Of

that, in 30 doing, he has been actuaed not by any
desire to sever his conneXion with this office, but
by proper consideration of the largely liner
responsibilities and duties he is here called on to
assume, and that, by the adoption of proper means,
he may yet be induced to remain; and whereas we
regard it duty which we owe alike TO him. the
public interest and ourselves, 70 give some suitable

CIseISsATf, February lS.-Orcstes A. Brown
son. of Boston, lcctured here last night before the
Young Mems Library Association, on the subject
Of National Intervention. lie took the ground
that no nation has the right 10 interfere in the
affairs of another. Speaking of traitors, he said
VIC have none in this country, but We had i'm
ported traitors and made heroes Of them. This
allssion TO Kossuth received with storm of
hisses, mingled with applause.
The lecturer then proceeded 10 state that he con-
sidered the monarcbcal ns the beet form Of govern
ment for many nations. He asserted that Austria
was right in her war with Hungary; that Russia
was right in assisting Austria; that the cause OF
Hungary was not right, and deserves no sympa
States as the three great nations Of the earth; and
that England wac mere dependency OF the latter.
hose nrc the principal features Of his lecture,
which was delivered 10 very large audience; but
few of whom seemed to coincide In views with the

BALTIMORE. February l7-5 p. IN.
The excitement with regard to Governor loves
appointments still exists, and il is rumored
that nc finds many ditiicuties in the way Of his
proposed rotation doctrine, that he ialters in the
performance Of the work The removal of Demo
Gratis to make room for Others Of the same party
will sweep away the Democratic hobby Of pro-
scription, which they usually harangue the
multitude when the Wings succeed in election,
and it consequently meets with no favor except
among the expectants and their particular friends.
The kossuth intervention fever has ceased to
rage in this city, and doubt whether dozen of
those who unanimously adopted the intervention
resolutions introduced and read to the great meet
ing hore. would at this day acknowledge the echo
OF their own shouts of approval. Even Judge Lo.
grand, who acted as the mouthpccc of the inter
ventionists, has been silent the subject ever
snce, apparently looking back with surprise at
the bind infatuation which possessed him on that
night However, as his hearers acknowledge that
they did not hear the resolutions that he read, he
can with equal propriety say that he did not know
what he read.

the bill prohibiting the circulation Of bank notes
in Maryland under the denomination of five dol
lars, other than those Of the banks of the Slate, af
ter the LIST of July next, was ordered to be en-
crossed for third reading, and the general i'm

present flooded with small notes from every State
Of the Union. intermixed with abundance Of
countertcts that pass almost current as those
that are genuine.
Washington's birthday occurring on Sunday
next, will be observed on Monday, and doubtless
with more patriotic enthusiasm than on any recur
