CITY INTELLIGENCE.
ed quite holiday yesterday afternoon nearly
all the principal thorougfares in the central sec
ton of the city being lined with crowds of ladies
and gentlemen to witness a parade OF our volun-
teer soIdiery. About four O'Clock the companies
attached to the SD and 5th Regiments OF Infantry,
the LIST Rife Reg ment and the Eagle and Junior
Artillery, assembled at their various armories, in
response to an order from headquarters, and in
short time appeared on parade on Gay street,
where the line formed to await the action OF
General Charles c. Egerton and staff before
whom they were ordered to pass in review. The
line being formed, they proceeded to march
through the following streets: To Char es
street thence to Madison, thence to Dolphin, thence
70 McCullouph thence to Biddle, thence to Madi-
son thence to Eutaw, thence to Baltimore and
thence to Calvert street, where they passed IN re-
view before neral G. c. Egerton. The display
was the most brilliant which has ever taken place
in the city, and gave assurance that when tne tme
of trial comes, if come it must the city OF Baltl-
more will not be without defence. Fine as this
display was it was not equal to the iorce now
under military orders, much less Is 1t an INDEX OF
the resources of the city, should honor or existence
ba threatened Il was sufficient, however, to indi-
cate the determination OF our people to preserve
the CITY from outrage and violence.
U.RRoR NEws.-We learn from Can't. Lew, Of
the Harbor Police, that United States vessel
came up from Annapolis as far as Bodkin Greek,
when tug boat was met and secured, by which
means dispatches from the General Government
were sent to the Collector Of the Port. The craft
which conveyed the Blood Tubs from this city to
Annapolis, returned yesterday evening, minus hi
teen Of the thirty roughs who lett in her. 1t is
supposed that they joined the army.
The surveying schooner that was in port has
gone down to the fort under jib and mansail.
The stcamtug Ajax, Capt. Shaw, was chased and
fired at on Saturday evening last, OF which the
captain gives the following account:
GOA Saturday last at o'clock p. NJ. made
three steamers out, one of which bore down me,
without pennant fvng. When within half mile
of me, fired at Inc a blank cartridge. Notknowing
her to be a man of war, and being of the New
York propellers, | was fearful that she some
pratica excursion, and did not care to have any
thing to do with her. The captain then opened on
and fired about forty-two shot at me-one oil
them came over the smoke-stack and grazed the
pilot house. He confined the chase about three
quarters of an hour, when | ran my boat into the
BOdKir Creek, the mouth of the Patapsco

erence and devotion:
