DIVISION BAMIMOKK. INTO TIVIMT

\\ ii.ps. Uur readers tile appi .-oil that tin"

1 .e-rislature of Maryland at its last session, pass-

?od an act to divide the city of Baltimore into

liventv wards, and that live commissioners have

Loon appointed hy 11, ? Governor tor that pur-

pose. Iho act of the Legislature is now before

a and wo propose to give a synops.sol itspro-

v - on- t'.r public informalion.Section 1, provides for tlio appointment id

tive commissioners, three t.) reside west and

two east of Jones' Falls; and requires that theyshall divide the city into twenty wards, "a?

nearly equal in population as may be, and the

boundaries of which shall be us nearly as prac-

ticable in moot lines.'Section requires that twelve of said wards

shall be located west and eight east of Jones'

Kalis?provides for proper returns of inetcs andbounds, publication, &.c.

?Section 3. By this section members of both

branches of the City Council aie required to be

elected in Oetobor next?one member lor the

lir.-t branch from each ward, and one member ,

for the second branch fiom every two contigu-ous wards?the commissioners to classify tiie |

wards which are to elect members of the second

branch.Section 1 constitutes the first fifteen wards i

idle fourth Congressional district, and the re-

maining five wards are to form a portion of the

third Congressional district.Section 5 gives to the commissioners a com-

pensation of two dollars per day for the time they

may lie engaged in the discharge ot their du-

ties, and requires the Mayor and City Council

of Baltimore to make provision for these and

for all other necessary expenses which may be

incurred in the execution ol the art.

Section 0. In case tiie President of either

branch of the City Council shall become acting.Mayor, ho shall within five days after he shall sosucceed to the Muvoralty, give fifteen days no-

tice (instead of twenty as heretofore,) for the

election ot a new Mayor.Section ", provides that the term of the May- j

or shall be understood to commence on thesecond Monday of .November succeeding his 1election.

Section S?All laws and ordinances relatingto elections in the city of Baltimore, whether

as to tiie appointment of judges or otherwise, \u25a0applicable to the present division of wards, to jbe continued in force.

Section 'J, requires that hereafter, electionsibr .Mayor and City Council, shall be held oil

the second Wednesday instead of the thirdMonday of October, as heretofore.

Section 10, repeals acts of assembly and or-

dinances inconsistent with the provisions ofthis act.

Hereafter then, in accordance with this law,.he first branch of the City Council will con-

sist of twenty members, instead of twenty-eightas at present; and the second branch will haveten instead of fourteen members. These num-

bers will, we think, bo amply sufficient fur alluseful purposes; and the reduction in numberwill probably facilitate business, ilut there is Ione point in this law the legality of whichwe doubt; we allude to the dismissal of themembers of the second branch before the timefor which they were elected has expired. If

?.heir term of service can be thus curtailed,?could not the Mayor's term be also shortened

y the same process? and, in fact, could not theLegislature dismiss the whole Council whilstin session?

BALTMORE ATHLN.LAS. The propositionsubmitted to the citizens of Baltimore by theMaryland Historical Society, to erect a build-ing, by subscription, sufficiently commodiousto accommodate the society?the BaltimoreLibrary?the Mercantile Library Association?to supply a Gallery Ibr the Exhibition ofthe Fine Arts, tic., appears to have receiveddecided approbation if we judge lioni the veryliberal subscriptions which have been made.?One gentleman, proverbial for bis liberality,has subscribed one thousand dollars, on condi-tion that twenty others subscribe the sum offive hundred dollars each: fourteen of thisnumber have already set down their names,iirid there can be no doubt that the balance willbe readily procured. Besides these subscrip-tions, theie are numbers of otners varying

from two hundred and fifty to one hundreddollars so that there is the most flatteringprospect that the amount which will be re-

quired to erect the building, (supposed to befrom twenty-five to thirty-five thousand dollars,)

\u25a0vill bj speedily raised. Every one acknow-ledges the utility and necessity of such a build-. ng, and we presume that the citizens general-ly will cheerfully contribute something to-

wards obtaining an institution which will be socreditable to the city ofBaltimore. It is knownthat the building in which the Baltimore Libra-ry is located has been purchased by the city forthe use of the Public High School; and as thecollection of books is most valuable, it is of,puhlie interest to provide a proper place forLneir deposit and preservation, as it is probable

that many of thorn could not he replaced if lost.

But thero are other important considerations

vrliich should induce the erection of the pro-posed building. At pre.- n nt we havo no fittingplace for the exhibition of paintings, statuary,

and hence the fine arts havejnot proper en-

couragement in our city. With a gallery forthis purpose, it is highly probable, that gentle-

men who have fine collections of paintings,&tc. might feel disposed to deposit them for

public inspection; and thus our young artists

would be afforded the opportunity of studying

the productions of the best masters. It is de-

signed to procure the current literature of the

day; embracing English, French and German

productions, and Vo throw open the whole in-

stitution to the gratuitous examination of

strangers who may visit our city. This is very

desirable, as persons coming to Baltimore on

business or for pleasure, would be gratified to ;

lave tins source of rational enjoyment openedto them.

There is another inducement fur our citizensto promote tins undertaking?it will encouragea litriarv spirit among the rising generation,,ii d thus benefit society at large. In short, inevery aspect in which this matter call be con-

sidered, it is calculated to be most useful andinstructive. Tin committee appointed to pro-'cars subscriptions are now engaged in their 1labors, and we have every reason to believe 1tint tlu v will be entirely successful. In Bos-ton and other cities the amount required v. ould ,be subsetibed in a day or two, and wo believe,that, with proper diligence, it will he raised in jin lialtiinoro a very short time, it is intended |to obtain the whole amount before commencingthe building ?so that no subscrition will becalled for unless a sum sufficient to acomplish |the object he previously subscribed. i

PKS.SIIVTKIUAN GI.NF.IUI. ASSFMBI Y. We ,

learn from the Cincinnati Gazette, that on Fri-day the discussion before this body, on the mo- jlion to overture the Presbyteries on the mar-

riage question, was continued by Messrs. Pros- jton, Lord, Imbrie, and others. Mr Jernnganhaving obtained the floor, stated, that if the ;discussion would close, lie would move the pre-vious question; but if not he would claim thetloor. The previous question was tiieu moved jand sustained, and the ayes and noes called for, Iwhereupon the proposition to overture to tho iPresbyteries tho following question, shall the Jlast sentence in the 4th section of tho 24th jchapter of the Confession of faith, to wit?"A jman may not marry any of his wife's kindred jnearer in blood than he may of his own, nor ;the woman of her husband's kindred nearer in i

| blood than of her own, be stricken out," was jdecided ill the negative, ayes "9, noes 98.Messrs. Edgar, Lord, McMaster, Jones andLeavitt, were appointed a committed to litingin a minute, expressive of the views of the As- isembly in regard to this subject.

VIRGINIAHHSCOI-AL CONVENTION. This bo-dy adjourned their session at Fredericksburgon Saturday night, after transacting nothingmore than the usual business. The Recorder isays, about 30 clergymen and nearly as manyLay Delegates wore in attendance. On Sun- 1day the communion was administered to ab i t

400 persons. The religious services w;e

brought to an effective termination on Sunday inight, by a very powerful and eloquent dis-course from Bishop Johns, and an admirable ivaledictory address to the clergy and laity by iBishop Meade, whose feeble health, we regret

to learn, prevented him liom speaking.

INDUCEMENTS TO VISIT ANNAPOLIS. TheDemocratic Star makes a strong appeal to ourcitizens to pay the "ancient city" an occasionalvisit, by the steamboat which leaves here at 7

o'clock in the morning, arrivos there at. ten, anddeparts again at half past one. The Star en-

forces its appeal in this wise: "Besides everydainty that can please the taste is to be had at

the City Hotel (whore every thing is v6ry gen-teel and quiet) in the shortest, time afler notice.Soft Crabs caught not more than an half hourbefore they are cooked. Green Peas takenfrom the vine, hulled and put into the pot.?

Strawberries, very large and sweet, just fromthe vine, with the lichest sort of cream?aresome of the things upon which we luxuriatehere."

PORTRAIT OK THE LATE REV. MR. GILDEA.Mr. John Murphy, 178 Baltimore street, has inpreparation, and will shortly publish, a splen-did Portrait of the late Rev. Mr. Gildea. Weunderstand that Mr. M. has undertaken this atthe solicitation of the friends of the lamenteddeceased, who have every reason to look for a

very superior production, as an eminent artistis engaged.

WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY. TheSecretaiy of War has appointed the followingofficers as inspectors of this institution for thepresent year; Major General Scott, BrigadiersGen. Brooks, Gibson and Towson; Colonel G.Bom ford, and .Major Levi Whiting. Tlicy are

i carry passengers over the Bloomingdale road toManhattanville, nearly seven miles, for a shil-ling, and anybody at any hour, can ride fromthe Battery to tnc Dry Dock or Chelsea, about

' five miles, for a sixpence.

BISHOP UNDERDONE. The New York True! .Sun says it is rumored that a meeting of thePusoyite Clergy in that city has been held, atwhich it was resolved to raise $2500 per annumfor the support of Dr. Ouderdonk until theGeneral Convention of the Episcopal Churchmeets. A circular was also prepared to thorural clergy, requesting them to ho non-com-mittal on the subject of the Doctor's positionfor the present.

IMPORTANT ARREST. A fellow calling him-self Win. Russell, alias George Myers, who

County Court. The case of James M. Ilai-isen vs. the Western Bank, was in argument Ibefuio the jury yesterday, and will probably beconcluded to-day.

"There's Blood upon It." The credulity olthe human mind is most wonderful indeed; andoften, "trifles light as air" bring to it "confir-

-1 mutions strong as Holy Writ." The ease withwhich the Hard of Avon causes one of the suli-

j jeets of his master pen to see a "small cloud"suddenly assume the gigantic figure of an "ele-

! pliant," and then as quickly imagine it a tiney"weasel," by a timely play upon his credulity,or the assurance given by another, offoul mur-der, by perceiving "blood" upon a poignard, arenot more positive and lucid evidences of the

1 credulity of frail human nature than a simplo| circumstance which recently came under our| own observation. A large piece of cotton,

j well besmeared with blood, was found lvingj near some lumber, in a retired part of the city,

I which attracted but little attention at first, butJ soon afterward a quantity ofblood was seen, near

I by, as though some most foul deed had been per-petrated; and the whisper ran to that effect,

i Who was n issing? Had any body heard a noiseduring the night? And questions of similarimport were bandied about, until by intimation,insinuation, surmises, circumstances, £te., the

j horrible impression seized the minds of many1 generous aim confiding souls, tiiat a most foul

1 murder had been perpetrated. Happily, how--1 ever, for those who, having thus been put up--1 on the rack of torture, from such trifling"cir-i cumstantial evidence," the mystery was soon| solved, to their great relief and the honor ofhumanity. No one was murdered. A veterin-ary doctor, had, during tho previous day, per-formed an extraordinary operation upon a horse,and from him, on his journey home, had fiownthe blood mentioned. Thus happily ended,what had been wonderfully magnified into amost wicked and wilful murder.

Tar. I'UONT-ST THEATRE on Monday evening lastpresented quite a numerous array of ladies; it is, ofcourse, unnecessary to observe that the gentlemenalso attended uigreat numbers. Without referring to

the performance s, we shall only state that we were

much gratified by observing the marked favor with

which the beneficiare, Mrs. Iturke, was received; it

was a merited compliment to a clever actress, tending

in some degree to apprise her of the estimation inwhich she is held bv the theatrical community of ourcity. We will remark, en passant,that we regret thatshe did not present the play of "Evadne" in lieu of]the tragedy performed?the former would have beeninfinitely preferable. To night, Mr. J. It. Scott willappear as "Richard H|c Third" in Sbaltspeare'scele-brated Tragedy of that name. There will doubtless

be a full house.

MOVED AND ISICROVED. Stars are said to be the

poetry of heaven, and e believe it; it is a beautifulmetaphor at all events. What is the poetry of eating

and drinking. If you would know pay the "Star Sa-

loon" in Wine allay, a few doors from Charles St., a

v. it: there, you will find HARRY HOUCK snugly en-

sconced, now putliug forth for inspection a "Curd,"where yon may perceive that a perfect "wilderness"of potations are at your bidding, the like whereof none

but the "Star" sheds its enlivening beams upon: andshould you, perchance, wend thitherward at the."witching hour" of eleven in the morning, the display

of the little niceties that others negleet, and the pro-

fusion of delicacies exhibited, (pone not excepted,)

would cause one to exclaim with honest Bancho,"blessings on the man who first invented eating."?

Who was the Columbus of the Bacchanalian world

we are. not apprized of: but the "Star House," like

himof the lesser Bear, though it may not shine forth

with the blazoning power exhibited by some of its

compeers, yet, true as the needle is u, him, steadily

gives forth to all the cheering rays; a guiding Star to

the Epicure, a beacon to those whs are choice in their

libations. Need more be said? Every tiling is pleas-

ant and comfortable. "Star House," remember. *

I THE MAT FESTIVAL or THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.

This entertainment, which promises to surpass all af-

fairs of a similar kind, takes place to-morrow at

Houck's Pavillion; and as the steamboat will leave

the wharf at Be'clock, it is necrssary that all who in-;1 tend to participate in the enjoyments on the occasion

should secure their tickets to-day. They can be hud
