GTFrom the published "call " tor the
Town Meeting which was held in Baltimore,
on last Thursday, one would have supposed
that much good would have been accom-
plished, but like those who went up the
hill and down again." the people who went
up to the meeting went down again, and we
suppose it will end here. Called, and encour-
aged principally by those who once ruled i,
and by others who are disappointed office
seekers, who would now totally do what they
have thus far endeavored to do-ruln the
prosperity Of the city Of Baltimore: thus
allowing their feelings of revenge to overcome
their judgement. But we apprehend the
American Party, against whom their abuse
is directed, will suffer nothing, if they but
nominate good men which they have thus
far. Baltimore, indeed, seems singled out
for particular persecution, and tho Locofoco
Party in this State are determined to
injure her, if abuse and Misrepresentation of
facts will do it.

the nvigorating exercise that waits upon

the United States and Canada are in a great
state Of excitement relative to their anticipa-
ted match with the "al England eleven, "
who are expected to arrive in this country on
or about the Goth Of the present. mouth. 1t
is their intention to play three matches: the
first in Canada, tho second in New York, and
the third in Philadelphia. AS the cricketers
Of this couEtry.d not claim to he their 60 uals,
they have consented to play their eleven
against twenty-five, at each place.
These are the players selected by our Eng
fish brethren to contend with us for supre-
macy upon the cricket field, and well may
they rest their laurels with them, for it is the
best eleven that ever played together in this
or any other country. it beirg the strength OF
the All England and the United All England
combined, the two strongest eevens in Eng.
land, they never having played together. =
The first match will be played in Canada, or
the grounds of the Montreal Club at Montreal
The Second will be played on the grounds of
the St. George Club. of New York, on or
about the 90 or Dist of the present month
1t is expected to be very spirited affair, and
to be the strongest twenty-five which the
eleven will have here to play. When the
arrangements are completed we shall take
great pleasure in reporting progress.

SALT LAKE Mr. Greeley in one of his let
tors, TO the Tribune, from Utah, gives the
following concerning this remarkable body Of
water:
That this Lake should be salt, is no anom-
ally. All large bodies of water into which
stret ms discharge themselves, while they have
sevcrally no outlet. are or should he salt If
one such is fresh, that is an anomaly indeed.
Lake Utah PROBABLY receives as much saline
matter as Salt Lake: but she discharges it
through the Jorda" and remains herself fresh:
while Salt Lake, having no Issue save by
evaporati n, is probably the safest body Of
water on earth. The ocean is comparatively
fresh: even the Mediterranean at Leghorn is
not half so salt.
am told that three barrels of this water
yields barrel of salt: that seems rather strong
yet its intense sadness, no one who has not
had it in his eyes. his mouth. his nostrils, can
realize. You can no more sink in it than in Il
clay bank. but very little oft in your lungs
| would suffice to stranglc you You make
your way in from a hot, rocky beach over a
| chaos of volcanic basalt that is trying to the
feet; but at u depth Of a yard or more you
have fine sandy bottom, and here the ba tn
ing is delightful.
The water is of a light green color for ten
or twenty rods; then deeply, darkly, beau
tiiuly blue" No fish can live in it; no frog
abdes it; few birds are ever seen dipping into
it. The rugged mountains in and about it
just such scraped and scanned and quilted
precipices as have been describing ever since
| reached Denver-have little Fir and cotton
wood, or quaking asp, in their deeper ravnes
or behind their taller cliffs but look bare and
dcsolate to the casual observer: and these cut
the Lake into sections and hide most of it
from view. Probably less than third of it
is visible from any single point. But this
suflices.
