The continuance of this very pleasant
weather promises we'll for the gaiety Of
our city. Last night all the pleasure
seekers in the community were on the

Our firemen of the Sun, Friendship,

was received in our city, and in forty-five
minutes portion of our apparatus were
at the scene of confagration, and in less
than one hour the progress of the flames
materially checked.
On Monday morning last, a lad named
Courtney, accused of attempting to set
fire to the carpenters shop of John T.

committed to answer at the next term OF

At the same time, white man, named
Hardaman, who had been arrested for

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE,
BALTIMORE, MAY 9-lOP. N

The money market still continues
tight. Some failures are rumored, and
others reported in prospective. My i'm
preston is, however, that the pressure
will soon Subside without serious conse-
quences. The sudden decline in railroad
stock has caused close financiering; but
thus far the burden has been pretty gen.
orally divided and while money has
been lost in the aggregate, none have sui.
fered seriously. Our dry good merchants,
grocers, -four dealers, shippers, &C., have,
as a general thing, been doing healthful
trade. Occasionally, when a man " goes
by the board" it turns out that he has
stepped out from the legitimate channel
of his business, and ventured on strange
waters. Strange it is that men will not
learn wisdom from the past, and govern
their affairs for the future accordingly.
Let we'll enough Alone" is the most
wholesome maxim ever taught. The
person who observes this, and learns to
say "No, at the proper time and place,
will generally be found clear of debt and
with something laid up for "rainy day"
Such an individual is likely to have money
either IN the Savings Bank, or some other
substantial investment. The man of
business, therefore, should study the art
of using this brief negative, whilst the
ladies are privileged to say eyes," and
retract at leisure, dd li6itum.
One of our fair and charming bellies,
Miss A. Ward, was lead to the hymenial
altar tonight. The scene was gay, bril-.
liant and inpO,inp
The Episcopal Convention is soon to
assemble in our city. Its sessions here
tofore have been held in st. Paul's church.
q convenience which cannot be enioyed
this season. The Methodist Conference
will also assemble in the course of a few
weeks, besides other conventions and An.
nual meetings.
The Rev. Mr.. Miller, Pastor of Mount
Calvary Episcopal Church, is now in the
South, travelling for his health, which
has become very much impaired. His
congregation have called new minister,
and he is now here on trial. He is said
to be very able and eloquent divine.
The "Know Nothings," learn, are
rapidly organizing, and preparing for a
grand demonstration on the 4th of july
next. They seem to feel confident of
their power-a thing which is not now
disputed.
Col. Davies, our worthy and most ex-
cellent postmaster, has gone SOUTH be-
iieve as TAR as Cuba-for his health,
which has been somewhat impaired.
No definite steps have yet been taken
towards giving ex.President Fillmore
public reception on his arrival here.
Something will, probably, be done to-
wards that end. RopERICx
