BALTIMORE, April 3-10P.M
|, The telegraph brings returns from Connect
cut, which very strongly indicate that the CO.
alitionists have carried large majority rob.
ably twO-thirds of the legislature. The Dem.
ocratic State ticket is supposed to be elected.
There is but little news here to-day Of a
character which will not be in the morning
papers
Some strong minded lady is lecturing to-
night in the Temperance Hall, upon the subject
of Woman's Rights. 1 am told she has quite
large audience. The best lecturer upon this
. )surdity would be Col Woods whiskere d
'dy Dr. Snodgrass is the right hand ma q of
this pettlcoat lecturer. He is always I'D for
Observation-Disclosures Phrenology, Psycolo-
gy, Abolitionism, Freesoilism, PhylOlogy, Pol.
mology, and such other dogmas
The Lovegrove complimentary benefit com 2
OF to- morrow night at the Mechanics Ins,i-
tute. l am told that about 5000 tickets have
been disposed of, which makes the handsome
sum of $4 900. II Is will be material aid to
the old man in his declining years He de-
serves 1t all. There is considerable curiosity
to hear his speech on the occasion. 1t will
doubtless be laconic and to the point.
The Argus of this evening narrates the fol-
loving singular alleged charge of abduction
"1here arrived in our city, late on Saturday
afternoon, from the city OF New York, Mr..
Henry Batshelder, who Immediately availed
himself OF the services Of the celebrat ed indie
pendent police frm-Potee, Graham, and Nc
hlniey-ln the view of recovering, if possible,
MS wife, four children, and the furniture of his
dwelling, all OF which had been seized in New
Lork, during his temporary absence, and
hurried by the wholesale abductor on 70 tn: 9
city. The bereaved husband succeeded in
hndIng hickman who had conveyed his wife
anu children from the abandoned residence to
Jersey City ferry, where he ascertained that
their baggage had been checked to Baltimore
man named William Hutton was supnosed
to be the abductor; and officer Graham, of the
firm having made his usual sagacious inoui
RES. crowned his arrangements with the arrest
OF Hutton the same evening at Il late hour.
He was taken before Justice Cook, by whom
he was committed for further examination
Inc energetic officer also succeeded in recov-
erlng all the missing goods; but 80 far the
children have not been recovered. Some ink
ling OF their whereabouts may. however. trans
pire upon the further examination of the
accused which will take place this afternoon. -
dropped into the Charles street theatre a
few minutes tonight. Mr.. Goodall was play
ing in piecs called tho Broken Sword. -
His part was admirably delineated. He is an
actor of high merit, but on this occasion wanted
better support. The audience was very slim.
Since Miss keene,s departure from that es-
Enlistment, there has been the want of a
leading actress, and hence, a want Of full
houses. The pieces selected have been too
heavy. too tragic. The class of society who
attend this theatre, want light unique pieces.
LIS support depends upon the elite, and MI.
Hlsley mu learn that they are like a flock OF
sheep; if one runs off all the rest follow. Ii
his artists saw the air to please groupdIines,
they will find Charles street not the place to
fetch them up. 1t belongs exclusively to the
fashionable, and TO that last must be cater.
Let him get first rate leading actress, and all
will be right. RopERIcx
