ALMOST Fatal ACCrDEyT.-Night before
last young man named Thomas Beach called
to see lacy In the upper portion O. our city.
anu while there's strange noise was heard in the
house, which was thought by them to be made
by some one trying to break i'm. The Young
man slipped out by way Of the front door, and
running to his hemes about q square OFF, got a
gun and returned. The noise had ceased by
this time, but while standing in the room with
the gun in his hand, the hammer came in con-
tact with portion of his clothing and was ac-
cidentally discharged, the load grazing the
young lady's head, aliebtly scorchfng her hair
and lodging in the ceiling above.
A STREET SRRMoN.-Last Wednesday after
noon we had the pleasure Of hearing q sermon
delivered by Sister Pennyroyal at the corner OF
King and Fairfax streets. Her pulpit was an
empty -four barrel; her congregation, the assem-
bled crowd Of boys and l0afers; and her text
"Flee from the wrath to come" As she was
exhorting sinners 10. repent, the head of the
barrel gave way, and the sister was violently
thrown in the gutter. Amid the shouts and wells
of the crowd, the ancient lady gathered her
traps M and departed.
THE FIsHERIEs.-Sinee our last report there
have arrived at Fishtown IS 600 herring, at Ssa
SIC; shad, 2, 800 at SLASH; rock and perch are
very scarce-SeatiNel, last ercning.

A FoRFTGN MINISTER GETS HIS BACK T-P.-
ON the LIT OF January last, foreign minister

recently concluded to build, and with that view
engaged number OF workmea TO eXcavate tor
the foundations. In 80 doing II was necessary
TO run a fence between the minister's residence
and the vacant lot. and this seems to have -
annoyed the minister that lac notified the agent
from whom he had rented the property that he
considered the contract violated, and SHOULD,
vacate the premises on the 1st proximo. when
he would paw four months rent, first deductin.
bill for damages " hieh he proposes 10 make
out on account OF the injuries he has sustained
from the building opera adjoining his resi-
dence. The upshot OF the matter l. that the
agent from whom the minister rented the prop
erty will be forced 10 allow the latter to act a.
Judge and jury in the matter, and accept what
ever he is offered in the way OF rental. a. nc
civil process can issue against the representa-
tive Of a foreign government.
