also thought the United States Government ought
to pay for it.
Mr.. CoLToN advocated the passage of the resolu-
tOns, he said that there would be plenty of water
by the next summer. To talk about the waste of
water in this matter was ridiculous. In making a
trial of one steam fire engine, more water was
wasted than would pass through this jet and foun-
tain in whole year. Again, it was not the United
States Government, which asked for the water. the
water was asked for to benefit the citizens of Bali
more.
Mr.. McPhail (Mr. Ellicott in the char) objected
to the passage of the resolutions, and advocated
the amendment. He was not willing to give to
Uncle Sam in perpetuity, the use Of the water of
the city of Baltimore. He spoke of the manner of
the selection of the site of the present Post Office,
and said it was placed where it is against the
will of majority of the people Of Baltimore, and
he was not disposed to vote for any thing to embel
lish Uncle Sans property, at the expense of the
city; he thought Uncle Sam ought to pay for the
water.
The question taken upon the amendment,
and it was adopted by the tolowidg vote:
Yeas Messrs. President, Vannostrand, Cathcart,
Cook, Taylor, Ellicntt, McComas-7.
Nays-Messrs. Cotton and Musselman-2.
The resolution amended was then passed.

Hon. Judge Price. Richard j. Cuttings, Esq,
Attorney for the State.
The case of the State u.s. Henry Brenning, in
dicted for keeping disorderly house in Burgundy
alley, Baltimore, resumed from Friday last
and at adjournment the jury was out with instruc-
tions to return a sealed verdict.
The motion for arrest of Judgment in the case of
Capt. Green alias James Gallagher, was overruled,
and the prisoner brought in for sentence In reply
to the question of the Judge, whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not be pronounced
upon him, he stated that he chad much to say but
as he supposed his Honor's mind was made up, he
did not suppr Sc that it would avail him much He
had lived in Baltimore for nine years. and during
that time had been twice arrested, but nothing
could be proved against him. Arrests upon suspi-
cion, however innocent man might be, would
give him a bad name. He was now ffty-six years
OF age and he hoped his Honor would leave him
some hope of yet becoming a useful citizen, and
that he would deal mercifully with him.
His Honor then sentenced him to eleven years
and eight months confinement in the penitentiary.
Capt Green evinced but little feeling or emotion
during the delivery Of his sentence.

From Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-There is no truth in the
recent statement from Vera Cruz, that Minister
McLane had presented an ultimatum to the Mexi-
can government, and demanded the immediate rat
ication of the treaty for it is known here that the
preliminary points thereof were mutually satsfacto-
ry to both this government and thatOf the Constitu
tionasts. 1t also understood that if the treaty
should be ratified on this basis Mr. McIIane himself
would return with it to Washington. The main
points of the treaty probably are the right of
way across the northern States of Mexico from
the Rio Grande to Mazatlan, and from Arizona to
Guayamas some other outlet on the Gulf of CALI

ANECDoTE OF GEN. JACKsoN.-The North Carolina
Christian Adcocate published at Raleigh in its is
sue OF 2lst ult gives the following anecdote ofGen
Jackson, in illustration of his extraordinary knoWI
edge of human nature:
''He as no Judge of Preachinq Here is a char
acteristic anecdote of Gen. Jackson, not before
published, and conveying useful hint to critics
upon sermons. 1t was given to Gov Ellis by Pres
ident Buchanan during his recent visit to North
Carolina, and we repeat it by memory as it was
told by Gov. Ellis in address to the students of
Trinity College at the late commencement:
When President jackson appointed Mr. Buchan-
Minister to Russia, the friends of certain gen
tleman solicited for him appointment as secreta
ry OF legation Although the qualifications of the
gentleman were unquestionabe, and his friends
numerous and influential, Gen. jackson pertina-
cousy refused to give him the appointment And
he explained this refusal to Mr.. Buchanan by saw
ing, Gle is no Judge of preaching" GLOW is
that2'' asked Mr.. Buchanan. "Why," said Jack
son, 'I attended the Methodist church a Sunday or
two ago, and heard most able and eloquent SER
mon by Dr. Durbin 1t was the logic of the Cos
pei set on fire by the fervid zeal of devotion to
Christ. The effect was very great upon the con-
gregation All were awed into silence and rever-
ence and | felt as though | stood before the awful
majesty of the eternal God. As passed from the
church this gentleman for whom the appointment is
solicited joined me, and broke upon the solemn
feeling the sermon had inspired by saying: ''The
preacher has given us very poor sermon; moth
ing new in it, onl mere defamation" 'Sir'
added the old General, ''that man is not fit for
office, he is not to be trusted, because he is no Judge
of preaching"
And Gen. Jackson did not appoint him to the le-
cation of Russia. How he was to infer disuuaif-
cation for the office from want of just views of a
sermon the President did not explain. But the fu-
ture history of the man proved the instructive
foresight of Jackson into character Upon Mr.
Buchanan's return from Russia, he called upon the
President, whose first words, after the salutation.
were, 81 told you that man was not to be trusted,
because he was no Judge ofpreaching, and sure

in him." And so it was, the gentleman had be-
come guilty of breach the principles which are
dear to a man of honor and integrity.
This incident gives us an interesting glimpse of
quite suggestive to persons who make or hear crit
icisms on sermons.

Cathedral of st. Peter and st. Paul, in Logan
Square, will be placed in position on the afternoon
of Tuesday, the 18th inst, a colossal gilt CROSS
Previous to the raising Of the cross to its place it
will be blessed in the body of the cathedral. with
much ceremony. There will be sacred music on
the occasion, and addresses will be delivered by
several clergymen holding high position in the
Catholic church. As the ceremonies will be open
to the public and such spectaces are not witnessed
every day, the blessing of this cross will probably
attract as many people as the church will contain.
