type, which cheered the Reverend gentleman, and
gave it to his eyes generous look" just as a
portly gentleman, with physiognomy slightly
rubicund, is popularity regarded as a jovial soul,
liberal in his dealings and fond of obliging his

awaited himself Of the offer, and in answer TO the

In another column will be found q correspon-
denco between three members from Hartford county
in the present House of Delegates and the SPEAK
Err. The osensible object Of the gentlemen from
Hartford is to suggest, through Mr.. KILBoURS that
inasmuch as The present Legislature was not elected
with view to the present crisis therefore the
members of the House Of Delegates ought to resign
their "paces and join in request to the Governor
'to order new election and call extra session.,
In addition TO the very conclusive reasons offered
by the SPEAKER against allowing himself TO be made
a catspaw in the manner proposed, we would
simply ask, what portion of the present Govern
eminent Of Maryland is so fresh from the
people rs the House of Delegates? Certain
ly not the Senate, still more certainly
not the Governor. If there were any mode
by which every branch of the State Government
could be renovated by a new election, we should
not have the slightest objection. But Mr. Hicks,
elected three years ago by the Plug Ugies of Bal
tmore, when there was no question before the
honest voters Of this city, except how to avoid
bullets and bludgeons, is 10 hold over, while the
House Of Delegates ought first to resign, and then
to call on the Governor to order a new election;
after which he is 10 deliberate, we presume, upon
the propriety Of calling an extra session. This is
wholly matter for personal action altogether If
these respectable gentlemen from Hartford, feel that
they do not represent their constituents at this
time, as may probably be the case, there is no
earthly reason why they should not resign. 1t
would certainly be setting wholesome example
to certain other gentlemen, in much higher posi-
ton, who are now disappearing the city of
Baltimore and the South, in another body.

FUNERAL OF HENRY WALTER OvENDEN, ESQ, LATE
Consul OF HER BRITANNIA MAJEsTY.-The funeral
of this lamented gentleman took place Yesterday
number of our citizens who participated in the GER
emonies bore witness to the universal respect and
esteem in which the deceased was held in this COM
munity. Few foreigners who have resided so short
time among us have had the good fortune to be
so generally and so deservedy popular as Mr..
Ovenden, and none ever returned with more hearty
cordially the kindness which he everywhere re-
ceiyed. By birth an Irishman, his life had natu-
rally enough been an adventurous one. After serv-
ing as an aid-dc-camp to General BEN, in the Hun
garian war of 184S, he sought another quarter of
the world, and betook himself to peaceful pur-
suits. He became British Consul at Maranham, in
Brazil, and thence transferred, some two
years ago, to this city, where his gentle and
manly character and attractive manners soon
rendered him a favorite with our citizens
In his social intercourse, which was not long in be-
coming general. he developed the most amiable
and engaging qualities, and his relations both per-
sonal and official, of the NEST genial and hon
orable character. We quite sure that he has
left none, in the large circle of his acquaintance,
by whom his loss will not be deeply depored and
his memory long and atIectionately cherished.
1t will be course of consolation to the distant
friends of Mr. Ovenden to know that his last Illness
drew around him all the solicitude and kindness
with which his bedside could have been watched
at home, and that every thing was done which pro-
fessional ability and skill could suggest, to avert
the inevitable doom
