BALTIMoREsJu June IA.
Our well known, and much respected towns
man, Lewis Levery, Esq, was stricken with apo
plexy at 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and at 2
O'Clock this morning yielded up his spirit 10 him
who gave it. He had just partaken of hearty
dnnr and going 10 his Office, "a Clerkship in the
Office of the Clerk OF the Court of Comm. Pleas)
fell SEN eleSs and helpless from his chair, never
afterwards being conscious or able 10 speak. The
deceased was Chief Clerk to the Clerk OF Baltl-
more City Court for twenty years He has lett
wife and large family. No one stood b CHER in
our commu nifty TO. all those qualities which ndorn
human nature. Some CT the most eminent Ply
! icians, Drs. Buckler, Mackenzie and Shottard,
who attended him, were of the opinion that the
soft crabs which he eat ut dinner superinduced
the apoplectic attack. With reference 10 this
particular case cannot but exclaim, how uncer-
tain is human life and upon what slender cord
does it hang. Only two minutes before he was
in the enjoyment of perfect health, laughing and
Joking with his companions, and almost in the
next breath he was dead forever to the things of
time.
The mechanics paper which was started in this
city some weeks ago, called the Daily Press, is
still in existence. and appears 10 be doing well. 1t
has quite large circulation and good advertising
patronage. Only few nights ago some of the
Mechanical Associations presented The editor with
a fine cylinder press. 1t is fact which speaks
volumes for The mechanics of Baltimore, that they
know no such word as fail when their shoulders
are put 10 the wheels of any greatenterrrse. May
they grow in grace and in strength equal to the
full measure of theil we'll earned merits. Some
of the delegates have returned from The CONNER
mercial Convention al Memphis, nd speak highly,
not only of their brother delegates i'll that body,
but of the courteous and sumptuous manner they
were received and treated by the citizens of Men,
phs.
The political war. in anticipation of the coming
State election, continues to wage warmer and
warmer. The whole trouble appears to be in the
Democratic ranks. Faction arrayed against fac
ton, and would seem that irreconciable differ
ences exist. The principal trouble imagine, is,
the aspirations of the different leaders for power.
Those too, who Lave been Ills appointed il get ting
Office are ungovernab e. They will neither be
lead driven, and have issued their declaration Of
independence. The Wings are taking matters cody
and exhibit but little anxiety as to tie final
suit. When the proper time comes they will
doubtless shoulder arms and prepare for action.
1t is now reduced 10 certainty that the line Of
Baltimore and Liverpool steamers will be built
Quite large amount OF the capital stock has al
ready been subscribed. The next en- terprise will
be the establishment ola line OF steamers 10 Cali
forEia. 1t would no doubt meet with ample en-
couragenIent. Since the opening the Ba fillmore
ami Ohio RsilIoad to Wheeling, several shipments
OF cotton have been made from this port to Eu-
rope. This is only the beginning of more extern
Sive end. Most of the factories in the county of
Baltimore are now in operation and doing good
business. These Establishments consume about
$4,000 bales of the material annually, and give
employ to several thousands of hands. The bu-
siness oil our railroad 10 the Ohio is daily increas-
ing and strangers who pass over il speak in the
highest terms of the road, its management and of
the wild, romantic, beautiful scenery which meets
their eye rvute.
Several new buildings are about being built of
the stone from Cheat river, recently brought into
use by means of the railroad.
