BALTIMORE, Jan. 10, 1854.
Our music-loving citizens had quite rare
treat last evening in the grand concert given at
the Assembly Rooms, by Madame Grisi, Signor
Mario, and the other distinguished operate vo-
calists, composing Mr.. Hackett's troupe The
brilliant saloon was thronged with beauty and
fashion, and the performances we're received with
the highest degree of enthusiasm.
The trial of Martin Coughlan before the Balti-
more county circuit court, for the murder Of his
daughter Mary, is progressing and attracting con.
siderable attention. The murder Of tho child Is
said TO have been committed with heavy stick by
the wretched father, while intoxicated The pris.
oner is rather a mild looking man, and from his
general appearance, one could hardly suppose II
possible for him TO have committed such revolt
ing crime. Intoxicating drink, however, is capa-
BILE Of producing ferocity in the most gentle.
The members Of the First Baltimore Hose Com
pany, one Of the most active, prompt, and gentle
manly Of our fire organizations, celebrated their
annual festival last night by an elegant entertain
ment at shambergs hotel large number of in,
vited guests participated in the feast and the
sion was one Of much enjoyment
The jury in the case of Reigner, trial for bas

their number replying not guilty" when polled
on Monday, yesterday returned a second verdict
Of guilt, when the counsel for the accused mme-
diately made motion for new trial.

Cushing then decided TO take up Buchanan, and

his reasons for preferring Buchanan. The letter
was handed by the judge 10 friend, and found
its way to the President himself Mr.. Pierce
handed Il back TO the writer, and asked him what
he thought oft Caleb only laughed In his face,
and svowed that those we're his sentiments. Poor
Mr.. Pierce had nothing TO reply. Every member
Of the cabinet bulics him and treats him like o

The Washington correspondent Of the New

private secretary Of the President corresponds
with the only Pierce journal out Of this city.
lie says: ~
"on looking over several of "Tekeps" letters,
cannot avoid the conviction that the correspondent
Of the Boston Post Is Mr.. Sidney Webster, the
Presidents private secretary. The letters bear in
ternal evidence of being either written by him, or
At bis prompting They contain occasional fore
shadowings Of documents intrusted TO the secre-
tarys hands TO esent to Congress- by direction Of
the President One thing alone casts shadow Of
doubt In my mind relative to the authorship land
that Is the fact that the cosrseness of expression
used by the Post writer In his reference to gontle-
men who see administrative matters from another
point Of view than himself is inconsistent with the
ordinarily geutlemanly department of Mr.. Webster.
