The Baltimore Gazette says that property on
the principal streets in Baltimore has doubled
in value within the last few years-lndeed, 10
all parts Of the city, lots and houses have in
creased largely in value. Mr.. Winans paid re-
Gently $4,000 for small lot 33l by IS on the
corner of Baltimore and Charles streets. We
have no such advance in real estate and no
such prices to record, in Alexandria, But VIC
have this to say: that valuable real estate, i'm
proved and unimproved, can be purchased here
at comparatively low prices; that these prices
invite capatal and population and that invest
ments could be turned to a most profitable ac-
count, under the fostering hands Of enterprise
directed towards manufacturing and CONNER
cial persuits particularly, and trade generally.

ANEcDorE OF LORD BRoUGHAM.-ln the
new Parliament, Broughmam delivered his
great speech in defence Of 1.-THE Reform bill
which by many was considered his chef "
oelurc It certainly was a wonderful perior-
nance to witness He showed a most stupen,
dous memory and extraordinary dexterity in
handling the weapons both of ridicule and rea-
son. Without note to refer to, he went
through all the speeches Of his opponents de-
livercd during the five nights debate, analy::
zing them summarily, and with little aid
from perverson, giving them all seemingly
triumphant answer.
The peroraton was partly inspired by
draughts of mulled port, imbibed very copious-
" toward the conclusion Of the four hours dur
ing which he was on his legs on in his knees.
He concluded
by all you hold most dear, by all the ties
that bind every one OF us to our common order
and our common country, solemnly adjure
you, | warn you, | implore you-yes, on my
Bonded knees Che kneels) | supplicatc you, re-
ject not this bill.
He continued for some Time as il 10 prayer;
but his friends, alarmed for him lest he should
be suffering from the effects of the mulled
port, picked him up and placed him safely on
the woodstock. Life Of Brougham.

THE RESULT or SAVING LADY's LIFE. -
During the past few weeks a man named
Samuel Temple, residing at Yardley, Bucks
county, Penn, has been shot at on three diff
terent occasions, but in each case miraculously
escaped injury. The cause of these unpleasant
proceedings has just transpired. A few morn
ings since, says the Philadelphia Star, MIR.
John Biting, of Newton, found letter under
his door addressed to Temple. 1t was dated
New York, March 20, and signed "Viola, in
neat hand. The writer stated that two years
ago she was riding near Fairmount Park,
Philadelphia, when she was thrown from the
saddle, and Temple came to her rescue. She
fell in love with him at once, and aftcrward
wrote him two letters telling him so. AS he
paid no attention to them, she resolved that
no other woman should wed him, and en-
ployed four Spanish assasslns at 81 900 apiece
to kill him. She afterward concluded to make
no more attempts at his life, but she had not
an opportunity to get word to her hired accom-
plices before the last attempt was made She says
she is wealthy and highly educated that she
is now going to Europe, and that he is in no
more danger, as she has lost her love for him,
and would not marry him. Temple says he
remembers the circumstance Of reseuing the
lady; that he asked her il she was hurt she
answered in the negative, and they parted.
An extraordinary document was presented in
the New York Assembly at Albany few days
since. The bill of expenses of two committees
which had rowing commission to visit New
York we're laid before the Assembly. They
amounted to about $4,000 in all. The items of
the account of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections have been published The first
is for public parlors, $2,640. Almost the
whole Of the other two thousand dollars is d.
vided between charges for whiskey, theatre
tickets, cigars, livery, port wine and brandy,
with few odd charges for medical attend
ance."
