The officer was again sent for and ordered
him away, but he returned every day until

with him, and l have not seen him since.
He told the officer he had been in an insane

Hon. Geo. II. Babbett, Mayor of Taunton,
Mass, has written the Supt. of the Insane
Hospital, "that one Melen Cross applied to
the city marshal for lodging at the police sta
ton on the night of June 10Th, stating that
he belonged in Boston, and was in search Of
work. He left next morning" This man, in
all probability, is the Mellen Cross who es-
capped from the Hospital nearly year ago,
and probably is the one to whom our CORES
pendent refers above.

While the wit of negro mnstrelsy becomes
nsipid and stale, after these many years of
public trial, Irish wit ever remains fresh and
green as the emblem of that nationality. So
thought the attentive and appreciative au-
dience at Granite Hall last evening, while
witnessing the rollicking, easy, and at the same
artistic and finished performances of Mr..
John NJ. Burke, the only and original Dub
Dan" Whoever attempts that character af
ter seeing Burke, must have considerable
courage. The performances Of this actor grow
better on each returning season. He was we'll
sustained, and the pictures of the old, down.
trodden country were as charming as ever.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
ANNAPOLIS, July 25.-The argument in the
case of the Mayor and City Coucil of Annap-
oils VS.. Police Commissioners of Annapolis,
was concluded yesterday and the opinion of the
court rendered, Judge Miller delivering it and
Judges Hayden and Hammond agreeing. The
court decided that the act in question, the law
creating police commissioners for Annapolis,
did not embrace two subjects; that 1t was
signed by the Governor on the proper day, and
that although the commissioners, under the
law, were not appointed on the first Monday
in May, vet their appointments were made In
4 proper time; but the fact that the bill which
passed the House of Delegates and was on its
second reading was stolen, and that the one
that passed the Senate and was signed by the
Governor, q copy Of which, certified to by the
clerk of the Court of Appeals, and published
as the law Of the State, was fled in the case,
never passed the House OF Delegates as re-
uuired by the Constitution, Judgment would
be rendered for the plaintiff in the case-the
city authorities. The first three points were
favorable to commissioner counsePs view of
the case; the latter was as the city's attorney
contended.
1t is understood that the effect Of this de-
cision Is that, in this State, although law may
have ali the regular endorsements upon II, Oe
signed by the Governor, deposited in the office
of the clerk of the court of appeals, and en-
braced in the published laws Of the State, it
may be impeached in q court and extensive
evidence be introduced, and it is commended, in
mandamus cases, a jury can be empanneled to
try whether q law did pass the Legislature
with all the forms required by the constitu-
ton. An appeal will be taken by the police
commissioners counsel, and the case carried to
the court of appeals.

KNIGHTS TEEPLdR.

TIE PILGRIMAGE OF COLUMBIA COM
MANDE0Y No. 2.
The pilgrimage of Columbia Commandery
No. ?, Knights Temp!ar,to Cape May, promises
to be one filed with pleasure Eminent Com
mander Sir J. R. Thompson has completed all
the necessary arran yemprts requisite for the
trip, and the total expense kaE been brought TO
the low figure Of SlG.2j, Which includes the
four days hotel bill at the Cape. Notwith-
standing it was the oririnsI intention to confine
this excursion exclusively 20 the members of
No. 2 COmmandeTy, yet on further considera-
ton of the subject that decision has been
changed and now the trip is open to all Tenn
plars DESTROYS OF Cvai!ing themselves Of It..
The route selected is by Iii, via the Baltimore
and Ohio road, TO Wilmington, thence to New
Castle, Del Here the Templars will be met
by about 200 fraters from Philadelphia, &C
compauied by Beck's band, who come from
their city in a steamer, which will also carry
the Washington Sir KNIGHTS TO their destiDa-
ton. The party will be further augmented by
the addition Of fully 100 TemNlars from Balti-
more, who there meet the fraters from this
city.
After q beautiful ride over Delaware bay,
which being new to a majority Of the pilgrims,
will be an appreciativc ride, the eZcursonists
will reach the wharf aEoTe Tic light house, and
connecting with the CSpe SOOUtfOur O'Clock p.
m. Of the same day they started. This point
is about three miles distant from the city, and
of course further transportation will be re-
Uuired. To meet this demand, Allison Nailor,
IT., Of this city, and a Templar himself, and
controlling the livery at the stockton house,
has rendered the sir KNIGHTS all of his turn
outs, and promises to secure . sufficient num-
Der TO bring all to their hotel. On arrival, it
is presumed that a majority will quarter at
Congress Hall, but as it is expected that Mr..
Cake will be unable to provide for the entire
party, Colonel Charles Duffy, the affable and
energetic proprietor of the Stockton, has very
generously promised to lend helping hand in
supplying Accommodations. The four days
they intend spending at this coast city and pop
ular bathing resort are all mapped out for
pleasure and enjoyment. On the first night
the reception hop at the STOCKTON promises to
be a grand affair, while the Tcnp!ar leyee at
Congress Hall on the following night is ex-
pected to surpass in sPlendor anything of its
nature heretofore given in that place. The
bands Of music from the Stockton and Colum-
bia have been kindly prOfered for the occasion
by the proprietors of these respective houses,
and combined with that ct Congress Hall will
make an orchestra Of sixty picces-surely suffi-
Cient for all dancing purposes. The Templars
leave here on the morning Of the 18th Of Au-
gust, and 1t is contemplated that ere they ar
rive at Cape May Tie party will number 500
fraters.

4 LAST VIEW OF THE COMET.

The tail Of Coggia's comet It still unfolding.
A person with acute eyesight can see It readily
soon after dark, spreading its nebulous tran
over the Ursa Major, and at times flashing
dimly quite to the zenith. To see It under
favorable circumstances, take . clear evening;
get out on the front balcony; take but one chair
and generously let her occupy part Of It
never mind what part. If thers be any danger
OF her falling of hold her on. 1t wouldn't be
bad to hold her on any way, and thus avoid the
danger. II It happens TO take both hands,
(Which Of course It will, } so that you are IN
able to point out the unfolding tan Of the bright
stranger, tell her where to look for It, but ct
the same time keep one eye on the old folks
yourself. They were young once, but they may
have forgotten all about It, you know, and
raise Q breeze, perhaps Q hurricane. Follow
these instructions out faithfully until twelve
O'Clock, and If you don't see the comet, you
may rest assured that you will "see stars"
and the old gentleman VIII furnish leather
apparatus freely.
