F[RES.

About eight o'clock last night, a fire broke out
in an outbuilding adjoining the chemical works of
Mr. P. S. Chapel Federal Hill. The brigade
were soon the spot, and succeeded in ccnfning
the flames to the frame building in which the
fire broke out. The shed at the time contained A
considerable amount of chemicals, which, owing to
their intlammabe nature, were speedily DESTROYED,
involving loss of about $1,000, which is fully
covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
About half am hour afterwards another alarm was
raised caused by the burning of partition in the
office OF Dr. ID. ii. Robbins, corner OF Lombard and
Hanover streets The fire originated, it is supposed
from pipe which runs throdgh the Doctors office
from the adjoining shoe store of Mr.. TAYLOR. Dr.
Robbins was absent at the time of the occurrence,
but the door was broken in and the burning parti-
ton removed without causing any more damage
DR.. Robbins has insurance on his furniture and
will probably sustain a loss of $50.

To the Honorable Henrv lTHmD,

Judge Of the Criminal Court of Baltimore Cih:
The Grand Jury respectfully present that
in the discharge of the duty assigned to them
by law, the members visited the Jail on
Tuesday, the 22d instant, and accompanied
by the Warden, Thomas c. James, and his Off
GERS, proceeded to examine the several wards and
their inmates. During the examination every fa-
cility was granted by the officers and such infor-
nation freely impaired in reference to the antece-
dents of the prisoners and the crimes with which
they stand charged, as pertinent for the Grand
Jury to know. The condition of the wards and the
prisoners therein confined presented as good an ap-
pearance, as regards safety, cleanliness and com
fort, as could have been reasonably aSticipated
from the dilapidated condition of the building.
There are under confinement at this time 40
prisoners which is less by l60 than was under CON
fnement at the same time last year.
The Grand Jury also visited and examined the
New Jail, and were much gratifed to find it so
near completion, as to give assurance of the re-
moval at an early day Of the prisoners from the
old to the new building, with ample provisions
for the safe keeping of such others as NAV here
after offend against the peace and good order OF
society.
We deem 1t unnecessary to give a description
of the new building and its adoption to the pur-
pose for which it has been erected: this has beer
done by others; but we will say that, in our iudg
ment. the building is not only creditable to the
architect and to those engaged in CARRYING ou
its conception, but that it also stands as a muuif
cent monument of the benevolence of our city fol-
the benefit of the lawless, the vagrant and the un
fortunate
All Of which is respectfully submitted,

The Hon. John J. Pettus was last week inau-
gurated Governor of the State of Mississippi The
inaugural address sets forth the general policy of
Gov. Pettus, as the chief executive officer of the
State, both in her Independent and federal charac-
ter. The cause of education and the great agrcul-
tural interests of the State promised his liberal
support but above all he will exert his official au-
thority to enforce obedience to the laws and the
Constitution. As member of the National Con
feGeracy he believes the State will best consult her
interests in cutivating the ''mOral influence of an
united South, and should this not prove sufficient
for the protection of her constitutional rights he
viii regard the institution of slavery so seriously
threatened to justify Mississippi calling a Con
vention Of all the States interested in its
perpetuation." At the conclusion of the address
the customary oath of Office was administered by
Chief Justice Smith.
