Fes,iva1I Festival!I

The holidays have come, and now for sport
anffnaa W.n;er wish his COLI. stunning pow
ser, cann5t chill our love of mirth, nor keep
back the overlooking emotions of youthful
hearts, just ready to burst into sction:
sest Each snowy flake as it falls brings to mind
visions of merry bells, warm rubcs, and jolly
company; hand sleds and bright skates for the
boys. This is all right, just what we like to
see; innocent amusements in which all may
indulge. Boys! tie up your ears, button up
your coats and then for a race on the ice; and
we won't object to the girls going with you.
Don't say. fe! what do we want OF the clumsy
awkward girls?" They will be the life of your
sport; if one should happen to fall, which will
probably occur, run to her assistance, help her
pick mp, and laugh all you please at her ex-
pense. It will soon b, her turn to .augh; let
her only learn and then you may expect to be
beatsn.. But the old folks are done with this
kind of fun, and now we are in for a fes ival.
The roads are in prime order.-so boys in the
country, get up. the horses and sleighs and
bring the girls along, not one but three or four,
and harness the quiet horses for the old folks,
tuck up the robes and send them OH their way
to town rejoicing; and if they don't have their
share of fun, and some of the wrinkles of
time Strengthened upon their countenances, we
we will pay for the oysters. Come one come
all, and let US have a good time.

Correspondence of the Picayune. I

From MEXICO -TAMpIco, May 2l.-The most
important event to us Americans, since my
last, has been a visit from our much esteemed
Minister, the Hon. RobertM McIane, who, although
his business here exclusively confined to the
United States Consulate, nevertheless received
by the authorities of the city and State with all the
honors due to his rank. The moment he arrived
at the house of Mr.. Chase, he was rendered guard
of honor by his Excellency, Governor Trevino,
which he politely declined, but salute of twenty
one guns from the forts welcomed him, as the hon
ored representative of the United States to the chief
port and State of Tamaulipas.
Mr.. McLane was accompanied, besides his private
secretary, Mr.. Elgee, by Capt. Farragut, of the
United States steam sloop-of-war Brooklyn, who
also was the object OF many attentions from citi
The State of Tamaulipas, though there is
strong, active anG confident Reactionary Party
here is essentially LIBERAL and it is to this or as it
is called, the Constitutional Party that the present
Government adheres. Had our Minister'S very ac-
ceptable VISIT therefore, been known beforehand
he would have been the recipient of still further
honors from a community who know how to appre-
ciate his much applauded course at Vera Cruz, in
the recognition of the Juarez Government but as
it was, we have nothing of which to complain
While here he formally visited by all the chief
officers of the State, upon whom he made a favora-
BILE impression by his affable manner; and the night
before he left, he was honored by serenade from
the military band
Miss Hosmer, the gifted young American lady,
is now engaged on a statue of Zenobia which prom

Queen is supposed to be in the triumpha procession
of her conqueror. Miss Hosmer's knowing little

despairing, Hung couch in utter prostration the

POLjCE JNTELLyGENrE

yesterday afternoon party of six or eight
"Plugs," repaired to Rullmans Bellevue Gardens
on west Baltimore street extended, near the city
limits, and behaved in very riotous and disorder
ly manner They entered the bar and demanded
drink, for which, according to custom, they refused
to pay, and about making off, when the bar
keeper attempted to stop them. A fight ensued,
in which the bar keeper received blow in the
face, and the rowdies commenced smashing up
the tumblers, &c. They then drew their
knives and showed fight for little while, but
were forced out of one inclosure towards
the road While Mr.. Rullman, assisted by his
friends and bar keepers engaged in eiecting
the rowdies, the police officer on that beat who
was on the ground during the whole occurrence
ran up and fired his pistol at the bar keeper. The
"Plugs" after being forced ont of the grounds,
amused themselves with tearing down part of the
fence and breaking up the transparency over the
gate. squad of police officers had in the mean
time been sent for to make arrests and officer FL
derkin, one of the reinforcements presenting his
pistol at the rioters threatened to shoot the first
man that refused to desist. By this means they
were driven away from the ground and good order
restored.
Clark Richardson was arrested Yesterday bv of
hcer Higgins on bench warrant from the Balti-
more County Court, charged with assaulting and
beating Carey Mcclellan at the disturbance on
May llth at the tavern of Augustus Houseman,
on the CalvertOn road. He was taken to the Sta
tion house and locked up for examination.
