A Shooting Array at Annapolis.


About 4 O'clock on Saturday afternoon,
while the House was in session, two rapid
shots from pistol were heard in the ro-
tunda, which caused a general rush Of
the members and spectators from the hall
to ascertain the cause Of the shooting.
On reaching the rotunda, Mr.. John w.
Mccoy was just rising from the floor,
near the Senate side of the stairway lead
ing to the Library, with his head and
face bloody, and dress disordered, and
the excitement of those crowding around
was very intense.
The Sheriff Immediately came up and
arrested him on the charge of shooting
Thomas Gardner, Clerk of the Criminal
Court of Baltimore city, between whom
and Mr.. Mccoy, considerable i'll. feeling
had been known to exist. This i'll feel
ing grew out of speech which Mr.. Nc
Coy, as one of the Committee of the
anG-Brock meeting, had made before the
Committee on Corporations of the House
of Delegates, about ten days previous, in
which he denounced Mr.. Gardner in
very strong language. impoaching tue re-
liability of his testimony and using Lam
guage dsrogatory to his personal charac-
ter, concluding by saying that he held
himself personally responsible for the
language he had used. A collision had
been expected between them for some
days.
An examination of Mr.. Mccoy was
subsequently held at the courthouse, the
States Attorney appearing for the State
and J. y. Hambleton for the defence. =
Upon The conclusion Of the testimony i
was thought By the magistrate that ever
though fEcre Was no testimony agains
Mr.. Mccoy Of serious nature. vet Tx
evidence Of Mr.. Gardner would be maidly
relied upon in case the matter was taken
into court. The case was evidently q
bailable one, and he could not consent to
let the accused go without demanding it.
Mr.. Mccoy was then held to bail in the
sum of 81 200 for his appearance at tue
April term OF the court, Mr.. " III. 7 I
Walters becoming his security.

NO RATIFICATION OF THE MEXICAN
TREATY "A War on the Rio Grande. -
A despatch from Washington says: Mr..
McLane, our minister to the Juarez gov
eminent in Mexico, will return to Vera
Cruz in the steam frigate Brooklyn,
which will receive him and Mr.. Pickett
at Hampton Roads. As all prospect Of
the ratification Of the Juarez treaty seems
to be abandoned, Mr.. McLane's prospec-
tive return confirms the belief that war
upon Mexico will result from the state
of things existing upon the Rio Grande,
and, indeed, upon all the Mexican Dor
der. There is little prospect of the en-
ployment of Texan rangers, upon Con-
gressional authority, in time to prevent
the inroad upon Mexico, which Governor
Houston's letter foreshadows.

A GTTANO CARD.

vertisement over the signatures Of certain deal
ers in Guano in the District, would respectfuls
" state to nil Farmers, who trade in Washing
ton, that since his accession TO business, he
has uniformly and steadily resisted all efforts
either at combinations or high prices, as all his
friends, and the dealers themselves, must bear
witness.
On the contrary, he has every season sought
to keep the price Of Peruvian Guano as near
cost as possible, as his advertisements to that
effect, and the less price at which the article
has been purchased from his establishment,
viii testify.
He is aware land tenders to the public his
Acknowledgment for the samel that notwith-
standing certain inuendoes to the contrary, kis
Guano stands in the highest repute among far
mers Of the surrounding sections Of Maryland
and Virginia, as always the purest and best
article 10 be had.
AS the Undersigned has thus far, in his busl-
ness career, been able to make LIVING pro-
fit on what he has sold, and as he believes eve
cry one has the right to regulate his own pric-
cs, he now has the pleasure to say, that, for

A NEW PoEr IN cAsApA.-An exchange says:

A wood carver in Montreal, named Chas. Heavy
sege, is attracting considerable attention by the
superior quality of his poetical productions. The
North British Review speaks of one of his works
as s.indubitably one of the most remarkable Eng
lsh poems ever written out of Great Britain. and
one Of his characters is said to be depicted with
an Imaginative veracty which has not been equaled
in our language by any but the creator OF Callban
and Arien
Imaginative yeracity" is good, and if the new
rhymester can get off anything as forcible and
original we should be glad to see it. The British
Review ought to know that great many ere
markabe" poems have been written outside o.
Great Britain, and that even Byron himself pennet
very few of his productions in that country.
