VA ~ BALTIMORE, July 20, 1853.
The appointment Of the Hon. William Fell
Giles to the vacant udgeship Of the United States
district court Of Maryland il the only real popular
appointment yet made by President Pierce in this
State and it is believed that nothing but the dis
carding Of his former advisers could have effected
this appointment.
The news by the Europa, being Of more pa
cihc character, has checked the excitement in the
northern markets, though many Of our shrewdest
merchants consider wnr inevitable. The religious
fanaticism Of tho Turks has been fully aroused,
and it is thought that they will not wait for Rus
STA to strike the first blow. The further tele-
graphic intelligence send you to-day by the Eu-
ropa will, however, explain the position of matters
more fully and satisfactorily
The impression is gaining ground that Colonel
George w. Hughes will be the Democratic can
didate for Governor, despite the wrangling over
the city delegates by the friends of Southeron
Key and Walter Mitchell This very wranpling
has operated in favor of Hughes, causing the
Democracy of the counties to unite in opposing
both, and thus put down the corruptions prac-
tised by political aspirants in Baltimore.
The continued warm weather causes general
movement towards the springs and watering places
by our citizens, or at least such of them as are
blessed with sufficient means to permit such an
escape.
Our merchants are making extensive arrange
ments for early fall business, and one of
more extensive character than Baltimore has ever
known before. This results from the full COM
pletion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will
be felt for the first time, and the result can
not be doubted.

The Newspaper.

No reader Of the papers of the day can truly
assert that there is nothing in them. There
may be no news, no political controversies, no
Congressional proceedings, no Mexican war,
no great epidemic, no church divisions, with
their attendant quarrsls--no subject OF prevail
ing interest Of any sort; yet the papers are
filled with items by mail, and telegraphic news
reporters are industrious, correspondents are in
vsnlive, and editors who do not despise the
day Of small things well know the advantage Of
magnifying events.
We indeed doubt that the most rapid sue
cession OF important incidents could impart to
the greater number Of the papers we receive a
higher degree Of interest than they possess.
Intelligence, talent, and diligent labor are
evinced in their every column; trite topics are
presented in new light; the affairs of social
life seem TO prove as important and interesting
to the human family as the more abstruse to-
pics Of national legislation; and sketches of the
campaigns at the summer resorts are almost
as vivid as the descriptions of great military
movements and their dangers by flood and
field.
We have before US daily paper, and have ex-
amined for the purpose Of analysing the ingredi-
ents Of entertainment which it affords the public,
yetit contains scarcely single item of the legiti
mate elements Of newspaper in the glorious
days Of political or commercial excitement
Its interest is occasioned solely by the tact and
assiduity Of its writers and compilers, the
Improvements in whose professional skill have
kept full, even pace with those made in the
printing press itself
The Americans, who enjoy at so small .
cost such unfailing sources Of entertainment
and instruction, are under great obligations tt
the industry and skill which prepares thu
newspaper.

SALT LAKE MAm.-Thc Salt Lake mail ar.
rived here on Saturday evening last, under charge
of MIR. Alison, twenty-five days out from the val
ley. From all we can gather, the number of ami
mails going across far exceeds that of any Other
year, and, as there was an abundance of snow on
the plains and on the mountains the past winter
we are not the least apprehensive there will be a
scarcity of grass water. There has been no
sickness yet on the route, and all things promise
prosperous and successful trip to all on the road

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-We learn that Aaron
Allison, conductor on a wood train on the or

Monday Of this week, by being run over by the
the end of the train, engaged in arranging the
cars. AS he gave the signal to s'brake up, the
brakes wero applied so suddenly as to pitch him
off the car upon the track and six or eight cars,
which had just been detached, passed over him in
such manner to sever his arms and legs from
his body, and he died almost instantly. He was a
brother Of Mr.. William Allison, conductor on the

CRYSTAL PALAcE.-The number of visitors on

sixty days, and to extend to the ten dollar the
right of admitting a lady with the gentleman own

THE DISASTER OF THE EMPIRE The verdict
of the jury Of investigation into the cause of the
collision and explosion of the steamboat En-
pire of Troy, has just been rendered at Pough-

sibly want of due vigilance on the part of the
pilot of the steamboat; but relieves both the
officers of the sloop and steamboat from the inn
putation of ill-will or design.

CoLoRED STAruEs.-Mr. Bryant, editor of the
Evening Post, gives an account Of tho new
experiment by an artist Of Italy in colorng a
statue: 49,
''The ancients, you know, colored or painted
their statues, and this is supposed to have been
done by persons who made it their particular pro-
LESSONS. Gibson has statue ofVcnus, a very
pleasing figure, the hair of which has been
colorcd of a very light warm brown, binding it
with flet of the most delicate blue, stained the
eye with dim azure, with tint of a crimson
vein or two at the corners, laid the fantest posi-
BILE bloom on the checks, touched tho lips slightly
with scarlet, and suused the skin, over the whole
form, with carnation Just perceptible, through
which the blue stains of the marble appear like
wandering veins. The drapery of the figure is
left in the original color of the MARBLE except the
border, along which runs double stripe Of pale
blue, with another of pale crimson next to the
edge. The effect is agreeable far beyond what
should have expected. The marble is deprived
of all its appearance of hardness, and the statue
has the look Of a human figure seen through soft
mist; the outlines seem to blend with the at
mospherc -
