BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE

BALTIMORE, April ll-l2P.N.
The kunkle troupe of serenaders is doing a
fine business. They give their concerts in the
Hall of the Maryland Institute This is the
best and the most popular band of its kind that
has ever visited Baltimore. Last night there
were not less than three thousand persons
present, of whom, in the galleries, were five
hundred or more of the colered gentry 1t is
worth quarter to see the effect these per-
formances have upon the SNOWFALL auditory.
They are completely carried away, heel, toe,
head and all, by the elOquence of music, and
actioH suited thereto.
There Is rumor oozing out, of duel being
on the tapis between a round, jolly, fat Fall,
staffian Wing office holder in the Custom
House, and an outside parsonage, not quite his
equal in physical proportions. They are to
fight at twenty PAGES with broad swords and
meat axes. Precise time not yet fixed, but it
will probably be some day before breakfast.
l now learn that there is a strong probability
Of one of the six steam frigstes, ordered by
Government, being built in Baltimore. Our
ship architects are the best in the world. Bal
tlmore clippers never have, and never can be
beaten Some amongst the very best steamers
that now float have emanated from our ship
yards. The Government can have no appre-
hension in giving the contract to any one of
our well known ship builders.

Later from MEXICO.

New ORLEANS, April ll.-Advicesh have
been received from Mexico, which state
that Santa Anna, in his progress against
Alvarez, the insurrectionary leader, was
everywhere received with the greatest en-
thusiasm by the people. He had several
encounters with the troops of Alvarez in
in which the latter was generally worsted.
A number of prisoners had been taken on
both sides, some Of whom had been shot.
Reinforcements of Government troops
were constantly advancing towards the
scene of revolt, and the papers report that
the soldiers of Alvarez were deserving.
The instruction was more formidable
than at first represented.
