BALTIMORE, June 10.
The gross receipts of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad for the month of May are but S237, :
PCS 67 against Sl74S74 Is for the correspond.
ing month Of last ycar-an increase only of
S62,394 SO, and not at all a favorable showing
when it is recollected that in the interim the
length of the road has been doubled, and the
capital invested and expenses incurred in its
working proportionably increased. The Board
of Directors yesterday took the initiative in the
new system Of cheap fares and low freights,
which is to be adopted on the road, by reducing
the fare between Baltimorc--now 81 SOTO
II %, after the first of July. A committee
have also the subject of frcights under consider
alton, and on their report it is expected that the
transportation charges on flour, cotton, pro-
visions and other important products will be
reduced
The skeleton Geographic reports that have so
| far come to hand of the first three days pro-
ccedings Of the Memphis Convention indicate
what have before predicted, that with sparse
and inefficient delegation there Baltimore would
not be likely to occupy prominent place in the
| Convention or receive any favorable consider
alton from it, The resolutions adopted, as re-
ported by the telegraph, seem not to have come
so far North as Baltimore. The Mississippi,
| Charleston harbor, and the harbor of Nor folk,
| all have been remembered, but the committee
seem to have been unable to come up the Chesa-
peaie Bay far enough to bring Baltimore with
| in view. The fuller and more ineligible re-
| ports of the dongs of the Convention will be
lOol al born with Int e,
| no expectation that Baltimore will be specially
| advantaged sy any of the schemes that may re-
ceive the sanction of that body
The books of subscription to the Baltimore
| and Liverpool Steamship Company have been
| open for three days past, but the progress made
so far does not present very hattering prospect
for the ultimate success of the project Only
about $4,000 were subscribed up to the close
OF bank hours this morning Next week, it is
understood, an energetic attempt is to be made
to press the subject ON the attention of the
merchants and business men, in order to test
the question whether the necessary capital can
be raised
The failure of Love, Martin 4 Co., an extern
Size produce firm of this city, was announced on
Change yesterday The amount of their liabil-
tiles is not stated, but they are generally sup
posed TO be large. They have, however, valua-
bic assets, and it is thought their creditors will
not suffer greatly
The NcwYork Worlds Fair threatens to be q
perfect oiia poGrhia Of monstrosities and Curl
ositles, if every thing on the way to it is admit.
ted Already two parties Of Indians have
passed through here labelled for the Crystal
Palace, and today they have been succeeded by
four thousand pound ox and a five legged COW,
mailing from Illinois, and ostenshly seeking the
same destination
The moneyod elite of our city are preparing for
the summer migration, and the dullness of our
streets and business places grows apace Al

friends and acquaintance, and the afternoon
promenade on Baltimore street is robbed of half
Of its attraction by the slim attendance of the
bellies, The corner loungers wide Camp street
loungers,) are decimatcd, and those who remain
look rs Shame-taoed as if they had been listens
ing to the discussion with which Violet and
Daisy recently Ierfuned the columns of the
Crescent. By and by, all who can so will he
gone, and the - stny-at-home club and cant

own hands and have n general Jolly time Of it,
