CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Commissioners to visit the armOry at twelve NJ. and
partake of the hospitaities of the corps. The in
vitation was accepted, and at the hour named, the
Commissioners entered the armory. The Battalion
was drawn up on the north side of the building,
with the drum core at the head and as the Com
mission, escorted by Major Warner, Captains Parks
and Woodburn, Surgeon Scott and others officers
entered, ike drums rolled and the men gave a wei
come by the hand cheer. Major Warner then in
trOduced the Commissioners a body to the Batta-
lion, and Capt Parks in few appropriate ramarks,
welcomed them to the hosptaities spread before
them.
Mayor Swami responded to the remarks of Capt.
Parks, in which be returned the thanks of the Com
missioners for the generous hospitality extended to
them. lie also paid a compliment to the battalion
for the promptness and alacrity with which they
had always responded to any calls which were
made upon them by the authority of the city He
extended invitation to the battalion to turn out
and assist in the reception of the Prince of Wales
and remarked that he thought that the honorable
compliments which are being paid to him throughout
the land were not only due to him as the future SOW
ereign of great people, but for the sake of his vr
tuous and noble mother. The Mayor again returned
thanks, and the company were invited to partake
of the collation..
The health of j. II. b. Latrobe, Esq, was pro-
posed and drunk, and that gentleman in response
stated that he had commanded the military com
pany (the old First Light lnfantry) that paid the
first visit from this to neighboring city. 1t was
many years ago, when he was poor young lawyer,
without the means to buy uniform, and when he
was about to go in debt for one, the members of the
corps, without his knowledge, presented him with
a beautiful uniform, sword included. He had
doubt if any of the officers of the Guard were in as
poor a condition he had been, the same noble
generosity weuld be found among the members of
the corps.
Columbus O'Donnell, Esq, also responded to
sentiment, in which he adverted to the fact that
thirty years ago he had commanded the Guard,
and if necessity required would do so again.
DR.. II. c. Scott offered a sentiment" "Mayor
Swann-may he live long and die happy"
The toast was received by three times three
cheers, when his Honor stepped to the head of the
table and responded. He thanked the corps for the
kindness in which he had been received He had
come to the armOry at the invitation of the COM
manding officer, but had no expectation of being
received with such cCrdiality. AT times when he
read the morning prints he was almost forced to
the conclusion that he was frendless-alone in the
world but when, on such occasions as the present
in this city, and indeed throughout the State of
Maryland, he had an opportunity of meeting with
his fellow-citizens, the kindness extended to him.
and the cordiality with which he was received,
created different impression and he was happy
in the belief that he still had friends He said that
he had taken up his abode in this city some twenty
years ago, and fifteen years of his residence had
been devoted to the development of the material
interests and the prosperity of Baltimore. In a
long public career he had endeavored to discharge
faithfully the duties which fell to his lot But a
few days remained to him to fill the position which
he now occupied. and to carry still further on the
measures which he had inaugura ted mot the least
of which was the opening of the Grand Park) dur
ing his administration; and the man who may be
selected to follow after him would find that they
were of no mean Importance. To fill public station
and faithfully discharge the duties thereof would
eventually create opposition if not enmity He had
not escaped this was it to be expected that he
should. lie could, however, confidently leave his
administration to the future, with the assurance
that it would receive its sanction. The Mayor
again returned his thanks for the compliment, and
closed by hoping that the members of the Guard
would live long, and prosper as an organization.
He several times cheered.
In a few minutes the Guard was called to ranks
and the Commissioners bid them good day and re-
tired.
The BELL AND EVERETT Mass MEErING.-Last
evening the friends of Bell and Everett and Samuel
Hindes, met in mass meeting on Bank street, at
the intersection of Broadway. A stand was erect
ed on the pavement on Cough street, next to the
Public School building. 1t was decked with flags,
and over the head of the speaker were the words
"The Union of the States, the Constitution and the
Enforcement of the Laws" At an early hour the
crowd commenced gathering, and at eight O'Clock
between one and two thousand people had assem-
bIed. At that hour the meeting was called to order

These nominations were unanimously confirmed.
The Blues Band was in attendance and played an
air, when the President made few general re-
marks, and then introduced Hon, J. Morrison
Harris.
Mr.. Harris made a speech of over one hours du-
ration. He advocated the election of Mr.. Hindes in
labOred manner, and appeared at loss to give
reasons in favor of his nominee, and was still fur
ther at sea when he attempted to show cause why
Mr. Brown should not be supported. He entered
upon gloritcation of Baltimore as it is, and claim
ed for the American party the honor of placing this
city foremost among the cities of the country The
rest of Mr.. Harris speech was on national affairs,
and it was like ''twice-told tale" 1t was the
same old story which he has repeated from the
hustings every campaign for the last four years,
and which he will doubt continue to repeat until
favorable change in political affairs shelves the
honorable Representative from the Third Con-
gressiOnal district.
At the close of his remarks the Blues Ban
struck up the ''Star Spangled Banner" and all the
little boys joined in humming the air.
Mr.. Herring then introduced H. c. Dashields, of
the State of Virginia. Mr.. DashieIds was notwell
acquainted with local politics and confined himself
to the national issues. When he had spoken few
minutes the "Minute Men" procession appeared on
Bond street, at the intersection of Bank street. and
most of Mr.. Dashieds' hearers ran down Bank
street to meet them. He was compelled to cease
speaking until they passed.
The procession made beautiful appearance, and
acted in the most orderly manner. They passed
through the meeting, only one little bell deignng
to stop. They proceeded along Broadway to a
point above Cough street, where they came to
halt for few minutes, and then continued on their
course.
At the heels Of the Minute Men were the mem
bers of the Rough Skin Club, bearing Transparent
cies in all of which with the exception of one, the
'tallow Dips had burnt out, and the boxes looked
every dreary" This club stopped with the meeting
and laid their boxes against the walls of the school
house On one ofthese was the figure ef ''Rough,"
with a cigar in his mouth and glass of lager in
his hand, and the words "Rough Skins still bobbin'
around" encircled the figure. On another was
pig stye with several pigs in it, and it the
word "Reorm." On another there were the words
ain time of war count on the Rough Skins as al
ways in"
As soon as the Minute Men bad passed, Mr.. Da-
shields resumed his remarks and continued for some
time, but ADLER men had worn his subject thread
bare, and he advanced no new features.
The meeting kept up until near IL o'clock
when it adjourned.
