the supply will be drawn, though the introduc
tion Of the waters ofthat river into our city can
not be achieved at an expenditure Of less than

! Much interest is felt in our business circles in
the result Of the annual election of the Directors
! Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on Monday
next Several or the old directors have de-
clined n reelection, and an effort will be
made to Gust others Of the " old fogy" school,
| whose timid and effete management have re-
duced the road to its present unfortunate con-
dition. Two years ago it was confidently pre-
dicte1, and almost universally believed, that in
1853 the road would be dividend paying one !;
but prediction now that il would pay o cash
dividend in 1856 would meet with but few be-
levers. ] would not, myself, like to take an
even bet that 1860 will be marked by any such
desirable event. Mismanagement is believed to
be the great If not the only cause, and our citi-
zens now place their hopes in new board, and
new policy.
DR. 6. C. NJ. Roberts, the famous obstetrician,
has recently erected college in this city de-
signed extensively for the instruction Of medical
graduates in the obstetrical science The build
ing is handsome and complete one and ifs
lecture-hall furnished with models reprsseutipr
the process Of CESSATION in all its stages and,
also with two anatomical figures Of iife-size,
made of papier mache, and so iDgenlJ asy col
ored, and capable Of such minute dissection, as
human body. These are the product Of the Gel
ebrated Aeuxoux, Of Paris, and, as something
new here, are attracting the attention Of the
medicos DIR. Roberts is celebrated accouch-
eur, and has probably assisted at the introduc-
ton Of as many human beings into the world as
any man in this country.
The marine commerce Of our city this after
noon received the addition of spendid clipper
ship Of 1900 tons burden; launched from the

From her extreme sharpness she has been face
tiously named the = Toothpick.s The deepen
ing Of our harboF, and the increasing trade Of
die city is occasoning demand for vessels Of
this large class, and several contracts have been
made for the construction of similar aida to COM
merce
The business of our city continues brisk, and
our merchants generally estimate the present
Fall trade as fully one third larger than Balti-
more has ever heretofore enjoyed. The foreign
exports for the present week exceed 100000 in
value and include among the principal articles
s3O4 barrels Of -four, l0,197 bushels of wheat,
and 1894 hogsheads of tobacco.
The sensitive state of the money market in
| New York reacts here, and keeps the things os-
| eillating between the comparative and superla-

no fear entertained Of any failures Of impor-

| REVOLUTION IN JorRSALIsM. The New York
i Tribune under the head of - a revolution in
| journalism notices two new inventions. First,
the manufacture Of fine paper from stra,c in
stead of rags, by Mr.. Mellier, a French chemist;
and second, an improvement in presses by citi-
zen of New York. 1t says.
1t is a printing press, which, at moderate
rate of speed, will deliver thirty thousand"
sheets printed on both sides in single hour!
Its movement combines the original principles
| OF Napier, which are applied by Hoe in his
| great press, with some new and beautifully
simple arrangements and devices of the inventor.

Outrage BT THE FIGHTING Men The gang
Of fighting men and rowdies who attended the
prize-f fight between Sallivan and Morrissey COM
| mitted Il grozs outrage at Boston Corners. 1t
| appears the express train does not stop there,
| and because the conductor refused to land them
| a number attacked a brakeman, threw him
| down and held him, while others detached the
| locomotive and tender from the train. The
| train was under great headway at the time, and
| the engineer did not discover the loss until away
| from the train. The greatest excitement exist
ed among the traveller passengers, who were
| fearful that the fighters might do them some
| personal injury. They all got off, however, and
went to the spot selected for the sickening exhi-
| btion but the passengers going West failed to
| make the necessary connections, and were de-
tanned a whole day.

The MAMA FOR TRAVELLING AT ITS HrIGHT
The New York Journal of Commerce thus re-
fers to some Of its manifestations in that city
" The pressure Of travel on principal
thoroughfares is prodigious Steamboats, and
railroad cars are crowded to excess. 1t seems
rs if every body was on the move. Between
New Haven and this city, which is not oul
greatest thoroughfare, there are six trains pei
day, each way, and one steamboat each way
and they are insufficient for the convenient &C
commodati9n Of the public
