The Police Affair in Baltimore. Tho difficulty whiph has been "trowing for some w-iek* pastifl Baltimore, betwein the Radicals nod Conservatives, sectus, to bc coming tn a head. ?ince thc ood of the ffar, tho Jl'i.dicals of Mary land, who bavo long Ead tbb povcr, and used it u:.scrupulously, to keep that State in anarchy-and con fusion, adopted through their Legislature a Police Bill, by ono clause of which nny Polico Commissioners guilty of official misconduct, may l>e removed by a concurrent vote of the two .11 -uses uf the General Assembly, or by the Gov ernor during ihe recess of tho Goneral Assembly. This Bill was adopted when Sw.mn, the present Governor, was a Radical, and was aimed ut all Commissioners who. should not hi sufficiently ser vil? to the Radical party. Since that time, Guv. Swann bas evincd considerable symptoms of greet uud decency by veering round and beoom iiig a mpporter of the President's policy. And meanwhile the Radicals have fallen into their owQ snare. v At late elections, by the unprincipled machina tions of thc Baltimore Police Commissioners, Demoorats were not allowed ti voto or if their votes were suppressed. Indeed the proceed ings of tha Commissioners were so openly nefari ous, that they were accused by the Conservatives^ and duly arraigned before Gov. Swann, who, the General Assembly not being in session, has the power to remove them if ho shnild see fit. The m itter bu? boon investigated by bim at Annapolis, and bo hus doclded to displace tho guilty Commissioners. Buring tho investigation, the feeling between Radicals aad Conservatives has been intensely fierce aod bitter. The former have evinced the unmistakable purpose, of resist ing, by force of arms, the rem J val of tho Com missioners. The Governor hos been equally res olute, and is said to have ealled in troops of the regular army to put down any resist ai.co to his orders. This matter has caused great excitement throughout the country, and may yet end in civil strife aud bloodshed. The tuttis of thc affair, according t - the )ut<-fct tolojjruu; v, may bo found on another column. -? . I hr Ai t for the Eblublisliment of Dis trict Courts Declared.to Le Unconstitu tional.

A kind and devoted son, an affectionate brother, a sincoro and relinble friend, ho sustained '.he do mestic relations of lifo in an exemplary way ; and tho tenor of bis whole life was well calculated to embalm his memory in the hearts of thc many who knew him nnd loved him. Ho U in Heaven, where there aro no tumults, no wars, no sorrow-neither is there any mour ning there, nor tears, nor heavy hearts, nor trou ble wiinin or without, uur ?ny sadness. He has knelt before the greit white throne, and tho Son, with mild potlllyu In bl<j eyos, hath looked uuto thc Father, and laid Bis hand in blessing on his head. And now, though his dear prcsenco has gone from us-though his voice, like some palsied harp, is hushed and tuneless-though bis eyes, once so full of affection and truth, aro closed and dim though l?is gentle hands are folded meekly and forever across his still bosom-and we ar? left so dosolato nnd distant in humanity-we would not call bim hack to tread with blooding feet tho rocky path?f life beside us. We would npt woo him from InRhigh home to share again this life of clouds and shadows.

A FRIKXD or His FATHER. Dr. WM. HILL, of this District, diodat Glonn Springs, 26th ult., aged thirty-eijtbt years. Dr.'.HILL bad for yours been effected with Con stipation of Livor, and his mcdicol friends had often adrisod him to travel, or try tho virtue of mineral ftaUrs; but the state pf tho country, to gether with the dillies of hie profession, prevented bis doing so until it WMF probably too late to ro ceive any permanent benefit Bland and genial in his nature, firm and confi ding as a friend, the subject or this notice was much boloved and estonned throughout the circle uf his acquaintance. With a heart always in sympathy with the poor, tho suffering, and the afflicted, ho was peculiarly adapted to minister to the sick, and to aid his prescriptions by moral ?apport. Few men havo ever succeeded unless they loved their profession. While medical skill is not de nied the deceasod, much of* his success may doubt less be attributed tu his singular devotiou to his c tiling. Love of the healing art was with bim a ruling passion. On this his mind was concentra ted ; bo studied little else. Ia watching, nursing, and trying to rejiero tho sufferer he sacrificed his lire, and it is humbly hoped that Heaven aooeptod tho saori flee. Though Dr. H., previous to the decline of his health, mado uo public profession of religion, yet it is known that the wolfaro of his soul had boen with bim the subject pf much solicitude and prayer. On roaching the Springs, in July last, he was fortunate in making tho acquiintanco of Rev. Mr. Jonxsox, of N. C. They wero drawn togethor by mutual suffering, and were intimate as com panions in affliction. From this pious gentleman Dr. H. received much religious instruction and encouragement. Ile now looked to tho Saviour, and dependod on Him alone. After Mr. J. left, he often spoko of him with most grateful remem brance Ho deeply regretted, iu a letter to his mother, that he bad not attached himself to tbe Church, but expressed toher his confident trust that God hid pardoned and accepted him in tho Redeemer.

" J AoitHutions Passed by tho Amelian Society, of the Due West Female College, on the death of Miss MARY MERIWETHER: WHKRKAS, An AIL-Wiso Providence has re moved from our circle, a beloved member, one whom wo bad all loamed to love and admire for ber many fine social qualities, as well as intellec tual vigor; who was permitted to enjoy the ad vantages of our Institution for only six months, during which time she improved rapidly, in va rious female accomplishments ; and then returned homo with tho glowing anticipation*, which lilied every happy heart that morniug, to bu stiatchod away from the beloved homo-circle, iu three brief woeks, in tho bloom of youth. And now the College hell,-the bell that sho hus so often beard with pleasure, will be hoard no more by her.. A few months ago, MARY MERIWETHER was among us, and one amongst the gayest of our circle ; now, no moro her sweet voUe is heard, mingling with othors, and she answers not to call of roll ; but the blossom of her Spring, the pride .of her Summer, has*faded into decay,, and the pulse that once beat high with virtuous desires, has ceased its throbbiag forever. But thors is a voice from tfce?tomb sweeter than song. There is a remembrance of the dead, to which we turn even from the living. Weep not for her, whom the voil of the tomb,. In life's happy morning hath bid from our eyes, Ki-; ?-in strew a blight o'er the spirits young bloom, Or earth had profaned what was born for tho skies. Death chilled tho fuir fountain, ero sorrow had chilled it ; 'Twas frozen in all the puro light of its course; And but sleeps till tho sunshino of Heaven has enchained it, To water that Edon where first waa its source. AND, WHEREAS, it'is our duty to bow in hum ble submission to the will of the Great Controller of all events, and who dooth nil things well, and for tho good of those that love Him. Therefore, Remited, That we deeply mourn the loss of nur departed sister, and in token thereof, will wear tho usual badge for thirty days. Remited, Thut the sympathies of this Society are tendered to the bereaved family, und especially to tho sister, who has participated in every joy and shared every sorrow for tho lamented. May she bc induced to remember her Creator in thc days oi her youth. Resulted, That a :opy ni theso Resolutions bc sent to the family, and also to the A'deerHtcr. SUSIE A. SHARPTON, ) AREBELAH A.
