BALTIMORE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1859.

Mr.. Talbot came up and engaged in conversation
with them about the assault, when joseph Kremer
approached, and in presence of the officers struck
iaioott severe blow in the face. He was instant
ly arrested and conveyed to the station house.
Mayor Swami said that assaults similar to this
one were OF frequent occurrence and he was deter
mined to put a stop to them. The utmost rigor of
the law would be enforced against those who parti
cipated in them; and in this case, he would reouire
$500 bail for Shaney, Mullay and Kremer The
peace and good order of the CITY should not be dis
turbed by brois, and he would take every opportu-
nifty of Furnishing with the utmost severity, every
man who was guilty of such acts. The parties
named would be sent on for trial.
Ills Honor then turned to 0'Brien johnson and
smith, and said: There is evidence to prove that
you were engaged in this assault. Nor is there any
evidence that you were drunk, or disorderly. If
there was such evidence, YOU would be fined and
punished to the extent of the power of the Mayor
lie then dismissed them, warning them that any act
OF violence they might commit, they could rest as
sured would be followed by merited punishment.
Erasmus Levy offered himself as bail for one of
the party, stating that he was worth more money
in real estate than the bond required and that he
did not owe cent in the world. He also stated
that he paid between Sl4 and Slot Mr.. Pink

NEW CANADJAN CoIN

Most of our readers are familiar with the fact
that decimal currency has been adopted by the
British Government for Canada, and new issue of
silver and copper coin has been authorized to cor
respond with the new system. The assayers of the
United States Mint have been making experiments
to determine the relative value of this and the Uni
ted States Coin. Messrs. Elkfeldt and Dubois the
assayers, in their report to Hon. j. r. Snowden,
director OF the Mint say: In respect to nomenc
they have abandoned shillings and pence and have
adopted a decimal system, in accordance with
which, there are three silver COINS of 90 TO- and
CENTS besides copper cents, which we have not
seen. The amount of coinage is said to be quite
large.
First as to weight they do not hormonize with
us. The average indicates standard of l5-l0O of
an ounce three pennyweights, for the 20 cent
pieces the smaller pieces in proportion. Our half
dollar being 40-l00 of an ounce. would make l6-lOO
for 20 cents. They adhere to the British or ster-
ling standard of 925 thousahdths fine. This is a
departure from the decimal system of nine-tenths,
which being practically the standard in almost ev
cry country of North and South America NAV be
considered American. Thirdly, in respect to the
value; this must be stated in two ways Ifit be
asked what is the intrinsic value as compared with
our coins, then the 20 cent piece falls below two of
our dimes by three fourths of a cent nearly If it
be asked, what will their 90 cent piece full weight.
produce at our mint, at bullion price, then it is
worth 1871 cents nearly. 1t is therefore not inter-
changeable with our currency But by a calcula-
on based upon the intrinsic relations of the Brit
ish coinage to own $50 as to be able to turn
pence INTO cens) find the 20 cent piece is regu-
lated in its weight by the silver shilling and is in
due proportion thereto; so nearly that the ad-
vantage OF having an even number of pennyweiphts
was tak ken into account. What effect it will have
upon the currency of the two countries, especially
along the boundary line, to have two kinds of dimes
! it is not easy to forespe.

THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION

By the arrival of the bark o. J. Hayes at New
York we have advices from Buenos Ayres to Dec
70, anticipating the news expected in detail via
England by the Prince Albert. The Commercial
Times says
"On Sunday last the American frigate Sabine
arrived from New York at Montevideo, where she
was saluted with II guns the bearer of the flag
of Vice-Admiral Shubrick. Commissioner Judge
Bowlin has also arrived out BY her.
"Shortly after leaving New FORK the Sabine ex-
perienced very severe hurricane, and was in
great danger, being on her beam ends from three
to four hours; lost all her starboard boats carried
away tiiler split sails, &c, and was obliged to put
into Bermuda to reiit whence she made the vow
age down in the very short space of thirty ght
days.
'The steamer Harriet Lane has also arrived al
Montevido, and the remainder of the squadron is
daily expected; the vessels which had come up here
have also been ordered down to the rendezvous
Nothing will be done until the entire squadron is
collected, when justice Bowlin will proceed in the
Fulton to ASCENSION, to endeavor to come to some
peaceable arrangement. There seems to be some
doubt whether he will be permitted even to enter the
Paraguayan territory, in which the only alter
native is war. Guns, powder, shot, chain cables,
&c, have been sent forward lately in large quant
ties to Paraguay"
In its resume of events for the month, the same
paper says:
"Accounts from the other provinces have in
formed us that troops raising in all directions
and rumors further added that the San Juan affair
concluded, their destination was Buenos Ayres
at was also stated that, by recent treaty con
cluded at Rio Janeiro, Brazil and the Oriental Re
public had agreed to assist the Confederation il
enforcing the remittance of this State into tn,
Union.
"These reports have had the effect of occasion
| ing some uneasiness, and ounces after falling t.
342 ps rose again last week to 352 ps. and 1855 ps
but they have apparently no solid foundation
Ounces are again on the decline, and confidence il
the stability of our present Government seems t.
be mistaken.
"The internal condition of the State continue
highly satisfactory; it is long since we hav
had to deplore an incursion of the savages of th
Pampas. The frontier forts are in state of or
ganization and completeness much superior u
what has been the case for many years back.
''ln the Plaza the transactions have been almos
confined to Wools, which have come forward i:
very considerable quantities, and in consequence O
the wet season, very clean, and light in grease
The import market has been dull, and the collec
tion of the outstandings is attended with even grea
ter difficulties than before. Money is exceedingly
scarce"

About IL o'clock on Friday night officer Denni-
son discovered the counting room of the Pickling
establishment of Messrs. Shriver and Frck, 30S
West Pratt street, to be on fire. The alarm being
given. and some citizens Immediately repair
ing to the spot, the doors of the building were
burst open and the flames speedily extinguished
before the arrival of the engines. The origin of the
fire was accidental, it is supposed, having been
caused it is thought, by lighted cigar stump
which had been thrown into spittoon containing
combustible material. The damage done by the
fire trifing.
About o'clock last night, an unoccupied brick
dwelling, two stories and half high, on Lafayette
Square, at the head of Fremont street, formerly
owned and occupied by Edward Whitmore, was dis
covered to be on fire. Officer Purden noticed the
house to be on fire some half an hour before the
alarm was given by the bells, but the night being
so windy il was impossible to make his rattle heard
Finding this to be the case, he left his beat
and ran to the Western district station-house in
order to give information and raise the alarm. BY
the time the engines reached the spot the tenement
was nearly consumed. The building had been re-
Gently purchased by the Butchers Association and
we learn was fully insured. Incendarism was un-

William Munroe, a resident Of Baltimore, who
has been on n visit to his relations in this citv,
ior week or two past, committed suicide, by
taking arsenic at the residence of his brother-in-
law, Mr. j. P. NJ Flynn, on Thursday night last
The deceased, it appears, had been drinking rather
freely for several days past and latterly had given
evidence of great depression of spirits as well as
occasional alterations of mind. Late in the after
noon of the day above mentioned, he called at the
residence of Mr.. F., and Immediately repaired to a
chamber up stairs, and locked himself Within Soon
after some of the family attempted to get in the
room, but were refused admittance Not long after
this, Munroe came down stairs, and remarked that
he had taken arsenic in mistake for salts" As he
had made similar remarks BEFORE the fears of the
family were not much aroused until he began to
vomit large quantities of blood, when a physician
was at once sent for but when he arrived it was too
late to effect any good, and in few minutes there

before he expired, he informed DR.. Walker that he
took the arsenic while deirious, and expressed great
regret for the ac..

county, and resided in this city for many wears
