.NcSns EditorS,-The ancient Metropolis OF
Maryland, as usual, at this season of the year,
| is quite alive with strangers, brought here in
consequence of the session of the Legislatures
the meeting of the Court of Appeals, sc.


There has, so far, nothing of very general in
terest been transacted by the Legislature; the
important matters remaining to be reported
from committees; and the members are, there
fore, engaged in attending 10 the local affairs OF
their respective constituencies. There is really
an unusual dearth of business of even that de-
sciptIon. This latter consideration might seem
to argue in favor of biennial sessions Of the Lee
glslature, but there are omnlpoent reasons n
ganat such a conclusion, which need not now
refer to- There is u most admirable good feel

GslaLurc: fact which | mcntion from nv
knowledge OF a different state of things in tor
mer days. The Speaker of the House is

a courteous, amlable, modest man. He hasi
the confidence and respect Of all parties on the
floor. The members of the House are ''Wolk-

age, at the time he was canvassiug for eloct0n
and it is said he did not attain to the ace of
twenty-one until within few days Of his ap-
pcaripg at the Seat Of Government. The Sc
nators, with their worthy President, acting as
the grand supervisors Of the action oftho other
branch, arc equally attentive to business, and
move on in their velvet hall Gas calm as sum
mGf'S evening The clerks Of the two branoA-
cs arc efficient, industrious and courteous, rs
officers and gentlemen.


There was u grand entertainment at the
Governors mansion last evening. The gucsls
