A SINGULAR DIscovERY On Tuesday morn

received into 81. Matthew'S Infant Asylum which
was found under the following remarkable cir
cumstances: Two laboring men, just returning
from their work, on Monday evening. when cross
Ing common near the gas works, in the First
ward, saw party Of boys throwing stones at
what appeared to be bundle OF old clothes
which the boys said contained a cat. Passing
near II, one Of the men rave the bundle light
Kick with his foot, wheN his ear detected In II
something akin to human voice. Itwas opened
when 10! instead Of a cat there lay wrapped up
In that bundle Of old clothes a new born babe
IL had escaped uninjured from the pelting stones
OF the boys and the heavy foot of the laborer
whose friendly kick had disclosed its existence
las also from the jaws Of a large hog which the
boys said bad been nosing around the bundle;)
out the question arose, whose charitable hand
was thereafter to feed IT. The Good Shepherd
who had preserved il amid the perils to which
its unnatural parent had exposed 1t had also pro.
vlded for its future care, and few hours after ts
singular discovery the hospitable doors of st.

Mr. Russell of the London Times began
to yet an idea of southern matters III 'ne
last days Of his stay among the rebels ia
his last letter from New Orleans, May 20
he said -" Englishmen will be surprised
TO hear that within few days British sub
iects living in New Orleans have been
seized, knocked down, carried oil from 'heir
Labor Mt the What and the workshop, and
forced by violence to serve in the "Nolun-
teer ranksl These cases are not Isolated
They are not in twos and lhrees. hut IN tens
and twenlies they have not occurred steal
thily or in by-ways. they have taken place
in the open day and in the streets OF New
Orleans. These men have been dragged
along like felons, protesting in VAN IN"
they were British subjects. Fortunately,
their friends bethought them that there was
still British consul in the city who would
protect his countrymen-English, Irish, or
Scotch. Mr.. Mure, when he heard OF the
reports and Of the evidence, made enereet-
IL representations to the authorities, who,
after some evasion, gave orders that the
immersed volunteers should be discharged,
and the Tiger Rifles and other compa-
mics we're deprived of the thirty-iive Brit
ish subjects whom they had taken from
their usual avocations. The mayor prom
ises il shall not occur again. 1t Is high
time that such acts should be put a stop to,
and that the mob of New Orleans should
be taught TO pay some regard TO the usases
of civilized nations. There are some
strange laws here and elsewhere in refer
ence to compulsory service on the part of
foreigners which it would be well to inquire
into, and Lord John Russell may be able
10 deal with them at favorable opportuni-
tv. As to auy liberty of opinion or real
freedom here the boldest southerner would
NOT dare to say shadow of either exists.
The most cruel and atrocious acts are per-
petrated by the rabble who style them
selves citizens. Every stranger Is watched
every word is noted, espionage commands
every keyhole and every leiter-box love
of country takes to eavesdroppng, and free
dom shayes mems heads and packs men
up in boxes for the utterance of abolition
sentiments In this city there is terrible
substratum of crime and vice, violence
misery and murder, over which the wheel;
of the cotton kings chariot rumble grating
ly, and on which rest in dangerous security
the feet of his throne. There are numbers
of negroes who are sent out on the streets
every day with orders not to return will
less thun rs cents-anything more they
can keep. But if they do not gain that
about IS Cd a day-they are liable to pun
ishment; they may be put into Jail OF
charges of laziness, and may be logged az
Hbitum and are sure TO be half starved"

to preserve the Government. The truth Is
the men who framed the Constitution never
anticipate day Ike this.
The Nominees of the Convention are all
unexctplionablc, They are MI true Union
mea and true Republicans. 1t is well that
il should be so. Certainly no Republican
has cause to compalin nj that. Nor can our
Democratic friends, who act with US, COM
plain. II could not be expected that the
three gentlemen who have been re-nomnat :
ed,would be superseded, inasmuch as this Is
their first year--nor could II be expected
that the first Office in the State would ut
once be givento party largely in the minor
ity. Had that been done, there would have
gone forth the cry of bargain and SALE
while the present nomination gives the lie
to all such croaking.
We do not expect an entire acqui, scence
in the action Of the Convention. We be-
lieve that nearly or quite every Republican
will acquiesce. IL there are any who do
not, it will be because they are tinctured
with aboitionism. But it would be expect.
ing too much to expect that every Demo-
crat will acquiesce. Every Democrat who
loves the Union more than party, who hates
treason aud rebellion more than Repub-
hcanism, will readily acquiesce. But We
cannot expect such as are in sympathy with
traiiors--such as rejoice at the reverse OF
our arms and the success of rebels, TO ac-
auiesce. They will scott at the "pretend-
ed Union Contention" and return like dogs
to their vomil, and like the sow to their
walowing 10 the mire. And herein can be
seen the wisdom Of the action of the Con-
vention. 1t will tend to separate the goats
from the sheep. 1t will crush out treason
in our midst, or compel those who are in
secret sympathy with the enemy, to unmask
their reasonable sympathies and exhibit
themselves in all their horrid deformity
Let them reject the overtures of the Unior
men if they desire. We want them TO Dc
it. we want 10 see and KNOW who the,
are. Let them be traitors in disguise M
longer. Let them show the serpents heat
and the cloven foot. And let them be hel,
up to the scorn and contempt of ever,
patriot in the land. G.

Arrest of Marshal Kane OF Baiti-
more.


AT o'clock Thursday morning, of last
week, General Banks caused the arrest of
George 2. Kane, marshal of police al
Baltimore, at his house, and sent him TO
Fort McHenry, where he is now prisoner.
Gen. Banks also superseded the police COM
missioners, naming Col. John +. Henley, of
the LIST regiment of Maryland volunteers,
as provost marshal. Considerable excite
ment was occasioned by the arrest. The
Union men were pleased the Secessionists
and plug uslies were INDECENT. Col. Henley,
provost marshal waited on the mayor and
police commissioners. The latter asked
time to consider, but Henley replied that
bis orders were immediate, and he procee1-
ed TO the marshal's office, taking possession.
At 2 p. NJ, Thursday, the police COM
missioners of Baltimore, after consultation,
issued orders to all the police officers to take
off their insignia and uniforms, thus virtually
disbanding them. Col. Henley, not TO be
thwarted, Immediately commenced swearing
in new police force, and appointed cap
tains in all the districts. The failhless
commissioners issued protest, which was
signed by thetmayor and board.
The vigorous search has followed the
arrest and resulted in the discovery of a
large quantity of arms and ammunition in
such places, and found to have been concealed
under such circumstances, as to leave not
the slightest doubt as to the reasonable in
tenions ofthe municipal officer whose career
has been thus approximately interrupted
The Baltimore american, states that in an
old back building, formerly occupied as the
City Collectors office, arms and munitions
of war were found to be concealed in great
quantities, some of which were covered up
under piles of coal, some under the floor,
and others in localities where they were
hidden from public inspection. The best
of these arms, and some of the ammunition.
have been recognized as part Of those taken
from the baggage car of the Massachusetts
regiment that was assaulted on Pratt street
on the 18th of April.
The Patriot says that train of powder.
about 4 inches wide and deep, was discoy-
cred leading under the different parts of the
old City Hall on Thursday evening. Fear
ing that some evil design was intended. a
guard of forty men was detailed, whose
business was TO watch around the Hall
during the night and allow no ore to an
proach it except those who had special bust
ness. While the guard were investigating
the different parts of the old City Hall. a
bag containing letters was found concealed
under coal pile. The letters were com.
posed chiefly of the correspondence of
Marshal Kane with residents of differen,
sections of the country 1t is said that soms
valuable secrets were found among the let
tiers, which will go far TO criminate a num-
Der of persons.
The Sun and the Exchange, both Balti-
more Secession Journals are loud in their
denunciaiions of Gen. Banks but give a
hearty approval to the course which Marshal
Name has pursued. The 1iasriean thus

speaks respecting The action OF the reuer"'
officers and the character Of Provost Mar
shall Henley.
So far, in what has been done, the Cen
eral Government appears to have "e'eu
with wise forbearanee, only keeping pace
with the events forced upon il by the over
,ycited men in our midst. From the hrst
demonstrations toward il of a violent char
,c,er il has in all things sought TO avoid the
necessity of direct collision with any por-
lion of the public sentiment OF Maryland
4 nlainer proof of This could not have been
owen Than was manifested at most critical
neriod in regard TO the fate OF Washington
when the troops destined thlher were sent
around rather than allowed to force their
way through the City. No European Cow
ernment having such overwhelming power
At its command would have yielded to such
A condition Of things for a single day.
Col. John Il. Henley, who has been APP
pointed Provost Marshal, is well and favor
ally known to our citizens as a devoted
lover of order and good government. lie
was Major of the Baltimore regiment IN the
Mexican war, and distinguished himself IN
the battle of Monterey. A native OF our
CITY, and gentleman of Intelligence and
lrgal capacity, as well as a strict military
discipliuarian, his appointment is, prehaps'
the most acceptable that could have been
made, and Notwithstanding the impeachment
thrown in his way by the Police Commits
sioners, we have no doubt that he will or
ganize a competent and efficient force"

rumors as to the cause of this sudden move
meni, it is said that plot was discovered
of an intended outbreak.
