Coffin, of the brig Columbia, had occasion to go on board his vessel, lying at the Point, and on en. tering his cabin he found a customer whom ho did not know, in the person of a boy, whose name we could not learn. The boy had entered by ay of the sky-lights, and his object evidently was" to steal. The captain allowed him to depart, after giving him a remembrancer, in the shape of a most essential cow-hiding.

LOCAL MATTERS. .1 Murder most Foul Last night about 11 o'clock, Coroner Greenfield held an inquest on the body of a man found dead in the house of Francis Nolan, in Charles street, opposite the depot. It appeared in evidence that the deceased came to the house of Mr. Nolan on Sunday night, by the 11 o'clock train that he roomed lor the mgni Willi a person wno Had been in the house lor some five weeks, and ho gave his name as Henry MeCurry.

Alter he retired nothing more was heard of or known of him, until about half past o'cluck last night, when the door of the room was forced and he was found entirely dead, lying in the bed. His throat was cut sufficient to cause death; and his skull on the right side, was beaten in by an axe, hich was found tinder his bed. The murderer is supposed to be the man MeCurry, who left last night in the Philadelphia train at eight o'clock. The murdered man is nan.cd Paul Roux, and from his letters and his certificate of membership, in the Odd Fellows, belonged to Macon, Georgia, or somewhere in the South. 1 fe belonged to icmuljree Encampment, No.

Clingman and Yancey, of the House of Representatives, took place yesterday afternoon, all the ciTirts of friends up to the last moment being ineffectual to produce a reconciliation, or any adjustment of the difficulty. The several parties, principals, seconds and the personal friends of each, assembled by preconcerted arrangement in the vicinity of Belrsville yesterday morning, and in the afternoon the meeting took place in a field on the right of the old Washington road, something less than 12 miles this side of that city. The eapons selected by the challenged party, were pistols, and the distance at which they' fought was ten paces.

A single shot was exchanged, after hich the hostility of the combatants yielded before the urgent intervention of friends, a reconciliation took place, they shook hands, put up the hair triggers, took the afternoon train for Washington, and returned to their more appropriate duties once more. A detailed statement of particulars may be expected, we presume, in a day or two through the Washington prets1, from the parties engaged in the affair. The Third German Reformed Church, corner of Paca and Saratoga streets, is fast advancing towards completion, and in a tew weeks will lie opened lor divine service in the English lan guage exclusively. las cdiuce has been erect ed by members of the Rev. Mr.

Heiner's church, who reside in the western part of the city, and there are few of our excellent churches that can compare with it in regard to eligibility of situa tion, convenience, comlort and taste. It is ol by 4 tee-t, huilt ol brick, ot Grecian architecture. with basement above ground under the whole church, and with front and side galleries above the main floor The pallasters and pannel work of the walls fronting to the streets, are painted white, and the recesses a tea color, which looks exceedingly well and are much admired. The inside of the church is being finished in a most beautiful style; the ceiling and walls are ornamented witli the finest fresco paintings; the pews are of the late tasteful circular form, and are be ing lined and cushioned with damask of a light and beautiful shade; the pulpit is built on the most modem and improved plan; the galleries are finished with convenient and comfortable pews, and taken altogether this is one of the most neat, handsome, and best built churches in Bal timore. It will accommodate about 1000 persons, and was erected at a cost of 10,000.

It does great credit to all the workmen, and especially to those who projected and carried forward tins enterprise with so much good management, energy, and success. The building committee are the Rev. Mr. Heiner, Messrs. S.

Stonebra- kcr, I Buckley and John Rodenmayer; carpenters, 1 lolim ik Sellers, two young en'erprising mechanics, and of great promise in their profession; architect, Harris-, bricklayers, Meakin tiCurvell; plasterer, U. Wilson; upholsterer G. S. Griffith; the fresco paintings were done by Ernst Dreyer, and the oil paintings by J. Uodenmayer.

we understand that the church will be opened for Divine servhie oh the first Sabbath in February next, when the Rev. Dr. Wolff', the pastor elect, will preach the dedica tory sermon. Spurious We again caution the pub lic against the counterfeit small notes on the Bank of Mankind, at Annapolis, which are in circulation in all parts of the State, but more especially in this city. The genuine notes are such miserable, ragged, bad looking affairs, that in point personal appearance the counterfeits have the advantage, though there is a small red fibre to be found in the genuine note, which tbc counterfeiters have not noticed, and which may readily lead to a detection by a close cxamina-tion of the paper.

But it is to be hoped that the bank ill recall its notes of this denomination in circulation, and obtain permission from the legislature to issue them on a new plate, otherwise it will become necessary for our citizens to refuse receiving them altogether. Fire. There was an alarm of fire yesterday evening about a o'clock, the cause ol which we could not learn. About half past another alarm was given, owing to the discovery of fire in the building in Exchange place, occupied by the office of Nilcs' Register. It was speedily extinguished with but little damage.

It originated by accident. little before eight o'clock ano ther alarm was given, which was caused by the discovery that the lumber yard ol Messrs. Allison I -owe, on West Fall's avenue, below Pratt street, was on lire. The fire continued burning up to 12 o'clock, but was under the control ol the firemen. The loss will be in the neighborhood of $3300 a portion of which is insured in the Firemen's office.

It was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. The fire broke out in about the middle of the yard.

The Mutual Safety lusurovs. Company of York, BALTIMORE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1S45. Retrenchment and Economy For some years past it has been the fashion of a certain de-wription of writers and speakers', both in and out of the legislature of our State, to set forth propositions for legislative adoption, through which to restore the credit and character of Maryland; that is to get her out of debt, or put her in a fair and reliable way to reach the point of pecuniary independence. Among the various and sometimes conflicting devices, professing to look to this desirable consummation, the imposition of a tax upon the salaries of office-holders has been sometimes recommended. This does not seem wrong, provided their compensation be found on examination to be too high in proportion to the service rendered, as compared with that of persons rendering like service cither in kind or amount to corporations, companies, or private individuals engaged in business; but if the State does not pay too much, hy take away any of it? and if she does, why' tirst pay it for the use of the incumbent, and then be at the expense of paying a collector to take a part of it back for her own twe? This mode of proceeding with office-holders may be called retrenchment, and advocated as a measure of economy; but then does it not look like an absurdity, to pay a State's officer more than the State thinks he ought to receive, and then pay another State officer for taking back a portion of it, and who is also to be required to pay back a portion of his own compensation for rendering that absurd and unnecessary service.

''Absurd and unnecessary?" enquires some one; "'how so:" Why the absurdity of the proposition is self-evident, and to reduce it to practice is of course unnecessary, and not only so, but it would be unprofitable, as well as troublesome and inconvenient to all concerned. But, persons employed by private individuals, companies, are taxed now on their incomes, and why not tax office-holders? Why for this reason, viz: the State can neither fix the salary of the jierssn in private employ, nor reach him with a tax bill except through the agency of a collector, whereas in the case of public otlicers she needs the service of no such intermediate agency. Let her, by her legislature, institute a commission of inquiry, clothed with plenary power of examination, of research, of scrutiny, and upon their finding let a permanent and beneficial measure of retrenchment be based. Let uch fees and salaries of public officers as the State can reach, when ascertained to be inordi nate, be reduced. Be they found oppressive to the people? reduce them.

Be they found large, out of proportion to the services rendered? reduce them. Be they found such, in connection with the duties required, as to constitute a temptation to political corruption for their obtain-ment, then do not fail to reduce them to a degree on the scale of recompense, below the point of temptation; but should inquiry result in the discovery of cases of honest, necessary and useful services insufficiently compensated, then by all means increase the remuneration to the point of justice; and if there be found in existence any offices clearly unnecessary to the public, let them be dispensed with. We do not often make legislative suggestions, and when in this case, we do so in a spirit of modesty, and with all due deference to the congregated wisdom and intelligence of the State; and we therefore trust that we shall not be considered as interfering with "the privilege of parliament." Our proposition, while it looks to the avoidance of absurdity in legislative action, has in view retrenchment and economy, not alone as a temporary expedient for the purpose of relief, in the day of difficulty "and embarrassment caused by former improvidence, but it seeks to establish a permanent measure of reform, based upon justice and the principles of a sound republican policy; and it will be for "the proper authorities" to entertain the suggestion or sot, just as they may happen to see fit. The City Council will meet in annual session on Monday next. That the expenses of the session may be light, is desirable on the score of economy; to this end it is necessary that it fce short; and that it may be short, it is necessary in the first place, that all ho intend to bring business before it, should make preparation to do ko at as early a period as possible.

Members in tending to introduce original measures, or re-introduce old ones, ought to come to their posts in a state of preparation; persons having claims against the city ought to make them ready for investigation; petitions to be presented should be got up as soon as possible; in short, all the business that can be facilitated in its progress through the necessary forms of municipal legislative action, ought to be put into a state of preparation as early as possible. The people of Baltimore are taxed heavily enough now, without the addition of the expenses of a long session; and they would not have that which is appruachiiig, unnecessarily protracted. In this they are right; lor it is manifestly wrong, that the whole people of the city should be made to bear the added liui-then of expense incurred in consequence of the dilatory action of a few, whether in the council chamber or out of it. A few energetic members could, by concert among themselves, communicate a spirit of promptitude to the Council, and Mime rule of limitation upon the introduction of Jiew business, would impart alike spirit to those out of doors, who would otherwise wait negligently till "the eleventh hour" of the session. We would have prompt action on all necessary matters of business, but no waste of time, and consequent expense, by reason of either in-door i out-door negligence.

The three men ran away with the launch and anchored in Mansanilla, (island of Cuba,) where they were immediately imprisoned, and the boat secured. One had escaped from prison, but the other two were taken on board the Somers in a wretched condition. The launch being too large to be taken on board was 1-ft in safe keeping until disposed of by our consul at Havana, or called for by a vessel of war. The yellow fever was very fatal board several vessels, and among strangers on shore, at St. Jago.

Tm: Lehigh Coal Trade. The Carbon county Gazette gives a gratifying account of the preparations made by the Lehigh Company for the coal trade this year, on the new system of allotiug the work to several distinct companies or sets of contractors, instead of giving the whole to a single company as heretofore. A novel contrivance for returning the cars from the landings to the mines by means of gravity, ill not only reduce the expense of transportation, but the business of the present descending track may be augmented three or four fold. The other com-panies have also placed their works under contract. The Gazette, anticipates an increase in the coal trade of the region this year over that of last, of at least 100,000 tons; hich will bring the shipments of IS 15 up to nearly half a million.

Fire At New York about 3 o'clock on Saturday morning fire was discovered in the second story of the chair manufactory of Mr. Thomas H. Bcal, No. lOO Fulton street, west of, and near Broadway. There was a large quantity of combustible materials on the premises, which caused the fire to rage fiercely for some time, but it was extinguished by the energetic action of the fire department, without much damage having been done to the building, although considerable loss occurred in stock and materials.

Mr. H. was insured, we understand, sufficiently to recover his loss. The tin and hardware stock of Mr. Lamb, adjoining, was injured by water.

The fire is supposed to have been caused by an incendiary. Pavinc. Mayor Harper, of New York, has recommended to the Councils of that city, a plan of paving, which has been very scccesslully tried in London, and hich is thus briefly de scribed: "An excavation is made Irom gutter to gutter, to the depth of twenty-four inches; this is filled with granite clippings, and cemented with lime, so that it become- a hard solid mass. Upon this slips of granite, ten inches long, ten deep, and live wide, arc laid diagonally, and the interstices tilled in with liquid mortar, which lonns the whole into a solid mass twenty-four inches thick." Captain Kidd. The coffer-dam which has ben built around the hulk at the loot of the Dunderberg mountains, is arly completed, and it is expected the water will be pumped out about the 1st of February.

A steam entrine will he cinploytd for the purpose, throwing out 30 barrels per minute. We shall then know what the vessel contains, if nothing more. From the structure of a gun recovered from her, it is certain that she is very old. About 43 men are now employed in the work. Indiana Lkuisi.ati re.
