ST. AIMS CHURCH, ANNAPOLIS
The burning of this parish church. at the Capitol
OF Maryland, has been generally noticed through tel
egraphlc announcement and it is of the current
events which comes home to every citizen of the
state. There is mistake in dating this edifce
back century. st. AIMS Church, accidentally
burnt down, on the night of Sunday, the I4th inst
from some defect in the ues of the furnace under il
occupied the same site with the original one in St
AIMS Parish, whose foundation was laid in 1899
This original one was finished in 1701 had its bel
fry and bell in 1704 the latter present from Queen
Ann; enlarged after many years of delay in 1885,
further enlarged in l74l, and supplied with an
organ in 175l. 1t was in the form of the
letter T. and in III it became so ruinous as TO war
rant the whip and spur of a satircal poet in sham
ing the inhabitants to supply its place. By an act of
the General Assembly, in IVA, John Ridout. Len
mock Chase, VIM. Paca, Upton Scott and Thomas
Hyde were named Trustees for building an elegant
Church, IN Annapolis, to be adorned with steeple
and it was the building thus projected in 1774 and
whose bricks, lime and lumber then ready at hand
were taken and used for defences during the early
movements of the revolutionary war; that was con-
secrated after long delay on Sunday, Nov. "a
1872, and burnt down within the past ten davs.
The historical notices of st. AIMS Parish, from
the press of j. P. Des Forges Baltimore. 1857, are
within reach and it may be added that in quiet ap-
proach to any place supposed to hold MSS. connect
ed with Maryland history and in indefatigable con-
Duct afterwards, the Rev. Ethan Allen is not a whit
pehnd his soldler-namesake of Tconderoga. He is
DONG Tor the Episcopal Church what, in ampler
fields of scholarlike research has fallen into the
able hands of Mr.. J. l.. L. Davis.
The loss of public building, in such locality.
is in itself an epoch and its struggles at
ment and completion, its days of jubilee and very
ash-days, are so many noteworthy points in the po-
htcai and social progress of Maryland. From just
such confagration, on the 4th of October, l7O4,
the old State House, in Annapolis was lost and with
it many of the most reliable State papers, not long
before collated with on their removal from the
city of ST. Mary's to the new capital Nor is the
word otadt-House foreign to Maryland, where Dutch
thrift had an early foothod. There was no one of
all the colonies that required to an equal extent

ROGERS MARINE STGNATC

At meeting of the New York Chamber of Com
merce, held on the 10Th inst the following resoIp
tlons were passed, cOndemning the bill now mend
ing before Congress, to render compulsory upon
merchants the use of Rogers marine signals
W hereas, 1t is understood that efforts are beino
maze 10 procure the passage by Congress of A bin
provide for the general and compulsory use bv ship
owners of the United States of tbn r,o,;no o;a{P P
projected devised by Henry j. Rogers, and Known
as "Rogers' Marine Signals, together with books
necessary Tor their explanation and use nnder heavy
penalties for emitting to adopt them, benr tbe SANE
oll IN substance which has been before Congress at
two former sessions; and whereas the adoption or
TINS or any other private invention as national code
OF signals, in such manner to be compulsory unon
shpowners Is not required by anv existing necessity
ana would SUBJECT shlpoWners and others engaged in
commerce to great and useless Inconvenience for tha
benefit OF private persons, and not for tbe nubI;c
good, and Whereas at the last session of CONGRESS
mOnstrances were addressed to the House of RcDre
sentatives by shpowners of this CITY and also f b
cities OF Boston, Portland Philadelphia Charleston
and New Orleans, in opposition to the PASSAGE of b
SAID bill, and to the scheme of private apGrandi1a
ment which it was designed to further and nra vino
tat so much Oh the bill as made the proposed code
fore, ' ~
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Chamber, it
Is Mnohy unnecessary to provide by law for the
aoPtlon OF any code or system of marine signals in
the manner proposed by the bill in question: and that
the passage of this anv other similar hin ,onId
impose needless tax and burden on our commerce
Resolved, That however ingenious and practicable
the system OF signals invented by Professor Rogers
may be 1t would be unjust and inexpedient for Con
gress to grant him. in addition to the patent right
winch he has obtained therefor such monopoly and
privilege as would be conferred by law requiring
the shipping of the country to use and and pay for
his books and signals.
Resolved, That in the resolution of approval
and recommendation of the Rogers signals, passed
by the Chamber the fourth day of January lS55
it was the intention of this Chamber to express
favorable opinion of the merits OF the invention and
to recommend it to the shipowners and masters ieav
ing it to be tested by experiment, in the same man
ner as any other invention, but not to aid or conn
tenanee any attempt to compel its use by act of Con
gress, or to impose penalties upon those who miobt
not desire to use it. S
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions. tooetb
er with copy OF the "Remonstrance of the Shin
owners ana Masters of this Port" presented to Con
gress at the last session, be forwarded to the Hon
John Cochrane, chairman of the Committee of Com.
merce of the House of Representatives certified m

OF the House of Representatives has called for

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

lhe following specuations upon the prospects of

Notwithstanding the approach of the 4tb of the

the corresponding period of last year For tba
present, and Tor some time to come, however, there
Will be certain degree of consolation in knowing
that transactions, although so much circumscribnd
are OF legitimate character. based on sure foun,
datlon, and mixed with speculative enterprise. AZ
ter such degrading exposure, the accommodation
system Will be stunned least some years. for the
lesson has been instructive that comparativaI,
few would be bold enough to attempt a career such
as that which has led to the failure of numerous
establishments during the last three
months. Even if they inclined to do So it NAV
be questioned whether the opposition which the
banks and discount firms would manifest would not
wholly frustrate their cndeavors In this way trade
Will be kept healthy, and when the chief markets Of

come more active, general improvement in busi

now eXerts comparatively little influence 1inon the
current value of the funds but as the terms decIn
prices will probably advance, unless political events
occur TO impose check. Some anxiety is felt re
specting the earlier proceedings in Parliament in
with India and the expected loan, and
this prevents increased buoyancy At the same
