Died, on Friday last, of Pneumonia, at his late
residence, Milton Hill, DIR. P. H. HAMILTON, in
the Add year of his age. In recording this obituary
cannot but give expression to the high estimation
in which the deceased was held by all acquainted
with him, and the poignant regret they feel at his
death-especially is such the case with his neigh
bors. They valued him by no fictitious standard,
but by that unerring touchstone applied during
their intimate and varied social and business rcla-
tions-not for months only-but for many years
not in hours at times when conventional rule and
etiquette often reflect goodly outside show and
they estimated his character after it had been
tried in the crucbe-subjected to stern and rigid
tests. At hours, time after time when with his
wonted hospitality he RECALLED his friends, his hap
Ply and cheerful countenance truly reflected his
liberal and generous heart. Looking upon him in
requirements, his love and devotion to wife and
children being as deep and exhaustless as the sea-
He kind and considerable master His hand
open to assist the needy and distressed
His religious and political sentiments were catholic
always ready and willing to accord honesty to
his fellow man, however he might differ from him.
Prompt and frank in the expression of his views
he was ever wary not to inure by tone or manner
those who joined issue with him. His heart sym-
pathsed deeply with all whom affiiction befel and
he disposed to deal leniently with the frsiltes
of others-cver mindful, it seems, of that memoir
able and Impressive commentary made upon erin
man-9'That he who is without sin let him cast the
first stone'' His sickness, though painful and pro-
racted was borne with christian fortitude and re-
signation. His last words upon earth were Good
have mercy upon me- He died in communion
with his church and left believe not an enemy be-
hind What consolation to his wife and children
how tempering and asswaging to their heart
rending bereavement! They may rest assured of
the deep and abiding sympathy their neiehbors
feel for them. C****

p0The steamship Arabia, from Liverpool
On the Goth ult., brings Intelligence, the tenor Of
which is on the whole, warlike. Lord Cowley
the English Minister at Paris, had gone to Wen
ma, to be sure, on special mission of concilia-
ton, the precise nature ofwich was not known.
Ministers had announced IN Parliament that
there was reason to believe that the Austrian
and French troops would soon at the instance of
the Papal States, cvacuate Rome These facts,
and the assurances with which tile announce
mont was coupled, created strong hopes of
peace in England, and produced favorable
effect for day or two on the Continent. But,
on the other hand, Paris letters stated that the
Government was actually framing plans, assign
Ing troops, and preparing ammunition and stores
tor campaign in Italy, and that the represent
tatives of Foreign Courts had abandoned all
hopes Of peaceful solution of existing difficult
ties. Vienna letters affirmed, that while Count
Buol still believed in peace, the Emperor was
preparing for war. Orders looking in that di-
rection had been published. Louis Napoleon
was shortly expected in Turin on visit to the
King of Sardinia The agitation in Milan was
increasing. Contracts fx the immediate con-
struction of three new forts in Venice had been
entered into. Turkey was arming frigates for
the Adriatic, dispatching troops to the Danube.
Russia was negotiating with the Rothschilds for
a lone of five millions
The Atlantic Telegraph Company had held a
general meeting at which it was announced
that the Government had offered guaranty of
eight per cent. on the new capital of 100000
for twenty-five years, on certain conditions,
which did not transpire, but which were not
thought insurmountable. The British Govern
ment had offered subsidy of $4,000 per voy-
age to the Galway line. Lord Lyons, the new
British ambassador to the United States sailed
for New York on the 22d, in the steam-frigate
Curacao. Cotton had declined. Breadstuffs
were dull. Consols, on the morning of the Goth,
were 95sa95ac.

THE QUADRUPLE EXECUTION AT BALTIMORE,
The four condemned murders, Gambrill, Crops,

THE MARYLAND Fisheries fishing
it is thought, will commence earlier this spring
than usual, if the weather continues favorable.
The busy note Of preparation already is heard
all along the shore. correspondent of the
Cecil Democrat says: t-ss II e
Shad flies and fishermen are swarming in the
streets of Havre-de-Grace, the latter vending
their way from the cities to the different shores
in the vicinity. Myriads of these shad flies gilt
ter in the sunbeams, crawl over your clothes and
into your hair, keeping one constantly employ
cd in brushing them off. They are said to come
out of the river, and like the mosquitoe, breed
in the water. = .a1ea
A shad was taken at Swan Creek on the 9TH
inst, a few miles below Havre de Grace
The Cecil Wing says the first shad caught
IN that county this spring, was caught at Green
Bank Fishery on the 10th inst :
The Denton Journal says, in reference to Car
oline county; quite number of herring, and a
few shad, have been taken at the various fshe-
ries in this vicinity during the past week. The
former sell for two cents piece and the latter
Is to 33 cents each.
Winter fish everywhere along shore, are plen-
ty, chiefly ring perch and moccasins. Mr..
VIM. Pennell, Of Garden Point, caught one night
last week, SO many that he was unable to land
his seine but they proved to be when landed,
mostly of the smaller fry, scarcely worth carly
ing away. -
