emit IRON nearly all the principal institutions Of the
Union and their proceedings are of the most in
tercsung character. The members have visited
the Maryland Insane Asylum, the Mount Hope
institution and the Aims house, by invitation, and
also the site of the proposed Maryland Lunatic
Asylum, the first appropriation for which was OBJ
tanned from the Legislature during its last session
by the Phianthropc efforts of Miss D. A. Dix. of

more and Ohio Railroad Yesterday, by a vote of 6
70 y, condemned the course Of the workmen at the
Mount C'arc Depot, in their recent strike for
wages, and resolved that no more new work be
underta ken in the shops OF the company; that the
construction of engines and cars by the company
De abandoned, and that the hands in the employ of
the company be reduced to the number necessa ry
for the repair of cars and engines, bridge work,

The difficulty among the printers has not yet
been settled. The book offices have commenced
to discharge their Society hands, and then offer
them work at Societys prices, but not at Society
regulations. which are the principal bone of con-
tention. Two of Sherwood's old hands have gone
to work, having resigned members of the Socie-
ty, and quite number of hands from the North
are Hooking in, and many of them have gone to
work, renouncing all allegiance to the Society.
The argus, Sherwood's, and other offices have now
eufhciency of hands, and having brought them
TO the city, are boundin honor to retain them,
should the matter be settled by compromise. Thus
the result Of the inconsiderate and hasy action OF
the Society must be the permanent establishment
OF four or five offices whose hands will be antago-
MYSTICAL to the Society, even if it does not fall
altogether in the conflict. ti sr

RAILWAY SlaNALs.-Mr. Moses s. Beach, of this
city, has invented an ingenious coutrivancc for
announcing the condition of drawbridgcs on rail-
roads, which, If adopted, would doubtless prevent
such accidents as that on the New Haven road He
calls this the seif acting signal. BE proposes to
erect series OF signal posts at intervals along the
track OF a railroad, in the vicinity Of all draw
bridges, and to connect them by means Of chains
and pulleys in such manner that the act Of open
ing the draw necessarily occasions change in the
petition OF the signals. To the last OF the signal
posts, which 10 to be removed 10 sufficient distance
from the bridge to insure the safety Of the train is
attached a small gate, so arranged as to project
over the track while the bridge remains open The
return of the bridge to its place restores the sig
nails to the position indicating safety. Lanterns
displaying red green lights attached 10 each
OF the posts, that due notice may be given in the
nj light. -Ner York Erening Post.

The CHINESE MIssTos-The New York Erpress
says that statements have reached there, through
the medium Of private letters from Hong Kong
which, If they be true, wouI seem TO indicate the
partial miscarriage of the Chinese mission:
Sion. Humphrey Marshall, the new Minister, il
seems, in the latter part of January proceeded to
w hampoa in the Saratoga, and thence to Canton
where be opened comm unication with the Chinese
Commissioner, Sue, preparatory to his delivering
the autograph letter from the President of the Uni
ted States to the Emperor of China. Some days
after, however. and before answer had been re-
ceived from the Chiuaman, Commodore Aulick
returned from Manila, and upon finding the Sara.
toga absent from Hong Kong, Immediately order
ed her 10 join him; and at the same time severely
took her commanderto task for having, unaut hor
lied, carried the Minister to Canton. The Sarato.
ga then so runs the story, returned to Hons Kong
where court martial was held upon the captain
for disobedlence Of orders; but il resulted m his
honorable acquittal Mean while il is for Their said
that the authorities at Canton hearing OF the With
drawal Of the Saratoga, and seeing the unpleasant
position In which II WIS placing MIR. Marshall, sent
word to that gentleman that be could not be re-
ceived at Canton on sundry pretexts, which show ed
that the American Envoy was far from welcome.
One OF these pretexts was that Sue absent in
the int rior, and that officer OF the Kuan 2
Tuang provinces was of grade high enough TO
receive him. MIR. Marshall then desired to leave
Canton, but could not; the Saratoga having gone,
and there being vessel to convey him thence.
At last dates February 26) he was at Macao wait
ing for a conveyance to take him north when one
would come along. The whole trouble seems 10
to have grown out of the extra ofiiciousness OF Com
moGore AuliCk in calling Oft the Saratoga eavin z
Mr.. Marshall to get on as we'll as be could with
the Chinese, which turns out to have been just no
way at all. We are also informed that the corn.
modore intended to return to the United States by
the next overland mail. He has probably the
'othcr side of the story to tell"
