sentiment, which gradually but surely ex-
pands into love as securely founded as the
rock Of Gibraltar. A woman with a hazel
eye nerer stopes from her husband! never
chats scandal, never sacrifices her husbands
comfort to her own, never finds fault, never
talks too much nor too little, always is an
entertaining, intellectual, agreeable and love-
ly creature" eve never knew" says a
brother editor, Chat one uninteresting and
unamiable woman with hazel eye, and she
has nose which looked, as the Yankee
says, like the little end of nothing whitfield
down to point" The grey is the sign of
shrewdness and talent, Great thinkers and
captains have it. In women, it indicates a
better head than heart The dark hazel is
noble in insignifcance, as in its beauty
The blue eye is amiable, but may be feeble.

venerable clergyman of this city who detailed to us
the particulars of most remarkable cure effected
by this medicine upon woman who had for years
been sorely afflicted with scrofuIous affection.

We learn that on Friday last, the Dist

tlble shock of an earthquake was felt in the
counties Of Nelson, Amherst, and the south
part of Albermarle, in Virginia. A gentle
man who was at Amherst Court House OBJ
served the phenomenon. The motion of
the earth it was supposed lasted from ten
seconds to half minute, and was accompa-

PLEAD GU1LTY..-Joseph H. Russell,
who recently made an outrageous assault
upon Mr.. Edward Tubman, in St. Mary's
county, and robbed him of considerable
sum Of money while he was lying insensible,
has plead guilty of an sssault with intent to
and also for robbery. The court
sentenced him to the Penitentiary for 10
years and months. The Beacon says the
stolen money was restored to Mr.. Tubman
by Rev. Mr.. Getting, through the instru-
of the confessional, as it is pre-
sumed, several days previous to Russells
confessing to the plea of guilty.

BALTIMORE, March 81, 1856.

BALTIMORE, March 81, 1856
FLouR.-There were sales reported on Change
Of 500 bbls City Mills Flour al 81. and of 300 bbls
Howard Street do 81 u. The market for both
descriptions closed at the above quotations. We
quote Patapsco Family, 50 IS; and Extra do So IS
per bbl by the quantity.
GRAIN.-There was a fair receipt Of Grain TO-
day at the Corn Exchange but TIE market exhib-
tied but little animation. For Wheat the mar
ket is without change, but for Corn prices were
lower than on Saturday.
Corn-The offerings Of Corn were about l6, 900
bushels but not more than one half the parcels
offered were sold. White Corn sold at SO, 54a57
cents by measure, and SO cents by weight; and
yellow do, brought sc cents by measure, and So
cents by weight
Uheat-The receipts of Wheat were about
$500 bushels. There were sales on 'change Of
400 bushels good red at 81 57as1 60, 600 bushels
family flour white at 81 75asl 80. We quote
Wheat at 81 50asl 60 for fair to good red, ST GO
aSl 10 for fair to good white, ans.S1 75aS1 80
for prime lots of do, suitable for Famly flour.
Rye.-We quote Maryland and Virginia at eOa
IS cts.
Oats-Sales at 80 to 81 cents.
From the American of Saturday last.
ToBAcco.-A few hogsheads of the new crop
of Maryland reached the market this week, and a
little of it sold at s7aS9 The price is considered
about so cts. lower than the same quality brought
last year. There is good demand for Maryland,
and shippers are ready to enter the market as
soon as receipts appear. Usually, the crop comes
in freely IN the beginning Of May, but owing to
the condition of the weather during the winter
the planters have not been able to prepare 1t for
market, and now the lateness of the season CON-
pels them to make active efforts for their spring
crops, and many vii! not be able to send their
Tobacco to market until July Or August. Owing
to the existing demand prices will rule pretty high,
at least until the bulk of the crop is received. 1t
is probable that the sales of the coming week will
enable us to give quotations. The stock Of Ohio
Tobacco now here is about 500 hhds to which ac-
cessicns are daily expected Shippers have taken
some few hogsheads at Sc for reds, which is a
bout 81 less than the same quality brought last
year. Shippers hold off for the present. and hol-
ders are not anxious to press sales. We have
consequently no transactions to notice this week,
though it is quite probable the market will soon
open with activity. The inspections of the week
are 135 hhds. Maryland and hid. Ohio.

Several persons, also, were badly wounded.
Captain Hazlet was certainly killed. A.
n. Roberts, Mr.. Bryant, son of Rev. Mr..
Bryant, and Mr.. Metz, all of Allegany CT
ty were SO badly scalded that they died
shortly after.
