"An interview took place yesterday be-
tween Lord Clarendon and certain eminent

vances, amounting sometimes to The entire

The reply Of Lord Clarendon was TO
the effect that whilst her Majes,y's govern
ment are using their utmost exerllons to
avert war, caution in relation to those trans
actions in nevertheless advisable; and, in
fact, hint was iven that it would be as
well for the Russian merchants 10 avoid

HIRING NEGROES.

Mr.. WELLs-Dear Sir: Allow me thro'

residents of Charles county, and more espe-
cially those who are so situated as to be
compelled to hire negroes for laborers on
their farms, TO the present mode Of hiring.
gentleman wishing TO obtain o hand or
hands for year calls upon the owner, he
is answered, that he can have the hand if
the negro is willing to live with him, and
left to the humilia'ing alternative of propi-
tialing the favor of the negro, by bribes and
promises which to a great extent iniure the
value of his services to him for if he cor
reefs him either by word or deed for fault,
he has it thrown in his tec,h-s'I will not
live with you another year"-snd for fear
Of not being able to obtain hands he is COM
PEELED TO overlook great deal that is uiu-
rious TO himself and the negro. At The
present time how does this m4t,er stand !:
1t is, that person wishing TO hire is moi,
only compelled to pay the hire of the ne
gro to his master, but also TO hire the negro
from himself. And he presumes upon this
liberty and is therefore more difficult, to
manage.
This is great evil and one that is a, pre-
sent felt by the hirer bu, in short time will
be felt by the owner. lis tendency is to
make the negro totally worthless to his
owner. They are as incapable, by want Of
education and their situation in life, of be-
ing able to judge for themselves as children,
and look only where they can enjoy the
greatest freedom from restraint and crafty
their sensual passions. Thus, by injuring
their physical strength, become dead ex-
pense IN few years to their owners or be-
come SO utterly unmanageable as to compel
their owners to sell them. ! am myself an
owner and hirer Of slaves and experience
firg y give an extra 1prrce 70 TIE owner 1or
a negro rather than bargain (yes, that's the
word) with the negro. We complain of
the Northern Abol'ionist, but if negroes are
INDUCED and allowed the liberty and privi-
leges OF freemen we will second them with
all our power, for we will make them so
impudent and worthless as TO compel US to
get clear of them as q nuisance.

Owls IN THE CArlTol..-We beg the as
sembled i>dom Of the State to believe that
we intend no offence bu, we nevertheless
mean literally what we say. A week since
while passing near the Capitol, ours aiten-
ton was arrested by Strange and discordant
sounds, which seemed to issue from the
caves of the building. Pausing a moment
for the purpose of satisfying perhaps lau-
dable curiosity, our ears were saIuted by
hootings and screeching which excelled in
sonorous cadences, the Pow-wows in the
African Church, during heated political can
vases. We looked up at the windows Of
the Hsll Of the House of Delegates ; but
they reflected no cheerful lights within.
Not ray Of light was to be seen. Even
the Senate Chamber, ,ha. focal point from
which such luminous rays are shed over
this good old Commonwealth, was dark as
Erebus. An inky Egyptian darkness, en-
veloped the massive building. But still the
hooting and screechng continued. The
per,urbed spirits seemed to revel in the
darkness which covered them as with a
pail. While listening, the thought occur
red to us, ,ha, possibly the discordant nois-
es which we then and there heard, and
which "made night hideous," proceeded
from the ghosts Of departed ora,oEs. who
ing heard on the floor Of the House, had
returned in disembodied form, for the pur-
pose Of enjoying the unmixed felicity Of
hearing themselves speak. The dream how
ever, was sadly marred by the evidence af-
forded our senses. While pursuing this
train Of thought, an old owl, more venture
some than his fellows, approached the caves
of the Capitol, above our head, and gave
out an unmis,skable screech! We speed
ily Withdrew, and as we closed one Of the
northern gates Of the Square, the question
suggested itself, whether these were the on
ly owls which had ever found their way to

extended from Pearl to Cliff street, and oc-

The origin of the fire was the subject of
an unusual number Of rumors. ]! seems
that plumber who was a. work in the

water pipes, lighted piece OF paper for the
purpose Of lighting his cigar or pipe, which
having done, he carelessly threw the burn
