CONVENTION OF TOBACCO PLANTERS

Investigating Committee against the Remo-
val Of the Tobacco Warehouses---Najorit
anl Minority Reports of the Committee on
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Confusion
---NotlliAg DOne---Another Convention
Called.
We find in the Marlboro papers full report
Of the proceedings of the Convention of the To-
bacco-Growing counties of Maryland, which as
sembed at that place the 10Th ult., for the pur-
pose Of considering the expediency of an act
passed at the late session of the Legislature,
appointing Commissioners to effect the removal
of the State Tobacco Warehouses from their pre-
sent location in Baltimore, to point near the
city upon deep water. Several gentlemen, re-
presenting various interests in Baltimore city,
connected with the question before the Conven-
ton, were present, but did not participate in it's
proceedings The attendance was large, regular
or volunteer delegates being present from seven
counties, and great interest and excitement were
exhibited throughout the proceedings-the cir
cuinstance Of some counties being represented
en- masse and others by delegates creating,
throughout, considerable difficulty in the trans
action of business The Convention was organ
lied by elccting the following officers:
For President-Col John +. Dent, of St.
Marys. Vice Presdents-Col Wm. d. Bowie
Of Prince Georges and Thomas j. Grahame, OF
Calvert. observation-disclosures w. Wilson and
r. B. B. Chew, of Prince Georges
William B. Hill, Esq, Chairman of the In
vestigating Committee appointed by the Prince
Georges meeting, held on the 1st of June, stat
ed that the committee had visited the city of
Baltimore, in accordance with their instructions,
and after a careful and laborious investigation,
had agreed upon report, which he submitted
and read to the Convention. This report argues
at length against the proposed removal of the
warehouses. The committee, referring to their
visit to Baltimore, say:
We found a decided opinion against the law
among all classes in the Tobacco Trade the car
rlcrs, commission merchants, and the buvers or
shippers. We have collected from them much
interesting information, but in more full detail
than we think it useful to set out in this report
in which we give only general summary of the
facts, and the conclusions they lead to-
l.. The carriers must go to Baltimore to dis
charge or load in other cargo. If they have to
deliver their Tobacco elsewhere, it will be an adj
dItlonal charge on them and ultimately on the
freight Of the Tobacco. The point of delivery.
on deep water, may be on their way; but it NAV
still cause delay and expense. The steamboat
may have to put out fires or the sail vessel to
lose wind or tide; or either may have to lay by
during night; OF to so Oh to the city and return.

SICILY AND ITS TUNNY-FIsHERY.

At the extremity of Europe, far away to
the south. as most people know, and sur
rounded by the blue waters of the Mediter-
ranean, lies the island of Sicily, the Trina
cria Of the ancients. Seen from the sea it
appears mass of rocks, broken into every
fantastic shape, and shooting their pointed
pinnacles high up into the sunny sky
1t is difficult to imagine that those Jagged
sterile mountains inclose fertile valleys and
plains bringing forth ''corn, and oil, and
wine in abundance" yet so it is ; the soil is
still rich and fertile, as in the days of the
~Romans ;. but it is another kind Of fertility
from that to which we are accustomed: there
