BALyMoRE, Jan. 20.
Notwithstanding the discouragements of the
money pressure and the present almost PROSTATE
condition Of many industrial interests, there are
gratifying evidences in this community of hopeful
feeling, pervading the breasts Of our enterprising
citizens which is being demonstrated in the max
ing Of liberal provision Of the prosecution of trade
and manufactures, on a scale hitherto unequaled In
Baltimore.
The iron interest has probably felt, more severely
than any other branch of industry in Baltimore the
effects of the " hard times" and yet am pleased
to report that there has just been completed here
one of the most extensive steam iron FORCES to be
found in the country, put up by Messrs Sutton,
Trego Il Co., on Canton avenue, near Central av-
enue. This establishment covers an entire block.
1t is constructed Of brick, and contains three fur
naces capable of heating six tons Of iron per day.
and double pudding furnace of capacity to pro-
tluce four tons of metal from the ore per day. An
immense steam-power is added to work the ponder
GUS hammers, one Of which weighs six thousand
pounds.
Thus we have substantial evidence that better
times for the working-man are in store, when men
of intelligence and business knowledge willing
to embark their capital in business which has re-
Gently suffered such reverse as the manufacture
| OF iron.
| The board Of officers for the new water depart
ment, was filed up last night by the election of
George Nelson, Esq., the late secretary and treasu,
rer Of the water company to the post Of resident
commissioner, and Wesley Stevenson, Esq, the
late collector, in the employ Of same company.
The department will now be organized at once and
take possession of the property, and management
| of the water-works.
| Last night, Mayor Kinks submitted to the City
Council, in convention, the names Of Brantz Mayer
and William s. Peterkin, Esqrs., for agents Of tho

vote of sixteen to fourteen.
Charles NJ. Gwinn, the States attorney, yester
day gave notice Of his intention to dispose of all
the cases Of violating the Sunday law in the sale
Of liquor next Friday. In every case where the
parties do not appear, the ball. he said should be
forfeited.
There appears to be disposition on the part of
the authorities to enforce this Sunday law with
more strictness; and if they but succeed, will
receive the appreciation of the great mass of our
citizens. 1t is disgusting to see the drunkenness
which staggers through our most public thorough
fares Of Sunday Many spend on that day. in

go to supply, and would, If rightly used, the

HAVING purchased Mr. LEWIS interest
in the Banner. it is perhaps right and
proper for us in noticing the fact, to give
at least some assurance 10 the Public for
its future conduct and management.
During the year past, for which time
we have been connected with the Banner.
1t has been to us labor Of love. not
unattended with cares and disappointments
as well as with pleasures, to do what we
could TO make our paper a pleasant and
Instructive visitor to every family into
whose circleft might find its way. MANY
circumstances, however, conspired to pre-
vent US from bestowing upon it that care
and attention which is so necessary in or
derto accomplish this object. The calls
upon ones time, care and atten,ion hy a
sick family and the unayohh fable absence
from home during the past summer, with
many other like circumstances, in a great,
measure disabled us from doing what we
might have done, and desired to do for the
amusement and instruction of our read
ers. But we fiatter ourselves that with
the assistance of our able co.editor and
with renewed zeal and increased efforts
upon our part, we shall hereafter present
to our readers and the Public Street with
better cIaims TO portion Of their patron
age and favor. With this assurance, to.

of my interest in the Sumter Banner to
Nr. JOHN s. RICHARDSON Jr., who is, by
our arrangement, entitled to all the pro-
ceeds of the Paper from the lst of Janua-
ry 1855. In parting with my portion
desire 10 say that have done so solely
from sense Of right. Having been dis
abIed by an accident which bcfcII me,
early in the past year, from taking any
part in the management Of the concern,
and from assisting to advance the interests
OF the paper, and one which will probably
disable me from doing go for some time
to come, have thought it fair and rgh,
that should take no part from the pro-
ceeds Of the Office, but that they should
belong 10 him whose labor and time has
been expended in acquiring them. l
have therefore sold TO him my whole in
terest i'll tho Paper. and in taking nv
leave Of it, I desire 10 recommend the
BANNER to all whom can at all intlu-
ence to subscribe for and patronze it,
l still feel deep interest in its, success
and the success Of my friend and former
