Weston, met, and, accompanied by a band of music, proceeded to the railroad dspot, on President street, for the purpose of receiving their guests, the Washington Greys, of Philadelphia. That corps, however, as has been stated, was detained at the Susquehanna, and did not arrive till Tuesday night. The Guards were on duty, and escorted their brother soldiers to their armory, on the corner of Baltimore and Gay streets, where they were welcomed, in eloquent terms, by Capt. eston, when all sat down to an admirable supper, furnished by Mr. Alex.

Butcher, the bill of fare comprising the delicacies of the season. The company assembled around the festive board numbered about 200 military men, aiaonjr whom were the field, staff, and commissioned officers of the fifty-third regiment, in full nniform, all of whom seemed to relish the entertainment with infinite gusto. After the refreshing viands had been discussed for an hour, a number of sentiments were offered, complimentary to Captain Weston, his admirable company, to the ladiei of Baltimore, and to the visitors. About half past nine o'clock, the whole company responded to a parting sentiment, formed ranks, and to the melodious strains of "Jullien's Sleigh Polka," proceeded on the sidewalk to the Eutaw House, the quarters of the Greys, where the most excellent accommodations were provided, and which were greatly needed by the travelers, who suffered much by the detention on the route from Philadelphia to Baltimore. Yesterday morning, strengthened by a refreshing sleep and hearty breakfast, the company proceeded to the Camden street depot, and were soon under way for Washington, which place was safely reached, after a ride of two hours.

The Washington Greys are officered by Lieut, commanding Ectendoili, 2d Lieut. Thomas P. Parry, and 3 1 Lieut. Joseph N. Peirsol, number 43 musket), an I are accompanied by uapt.

Beck's band of eighteen men. There is no mistake about the corps; they are perfectly equipped for winter service, well drilled, and of good size, whilst the band, performing on the celebrated silver cornets mide at the North, very forcibly remind the musical ear of tl.e.urequalled,far-famed Dolworth. The" whole party will create the most favorable impression wherever they may po. whilst thev are unami-mous in their praises of that noble the Bit-timore City Guards, and their accompiihe I commander, for the reception and entertainment. Thry will, after visiting Richmond, return here, perhaps on Saturday, and partake of the hospitality of their brother soldiers of the Monumental city, ere they return home.

The Almshouse. The joint committee of the City Council, in the report of their late visit to the Almshouse, referred in terms of commendation to its management, eood order and cleanHness, and speak highly cf the faithful manner in which Basil Root, the overseer, performs the duties appertaining to his position, a3 well as of the kind attentions and motherly care of the matron, Mrs. Eecket, towards all under her charge. The committee also award due praise to the present trustees, for the ability, humanity and strict economy which have characterized their management of the affairs of the institution. The boks of the agent, Capt.

Branson, were examined by the committee and fcund correct, and attested by proper vouchers. The committee state that, under the present system, the City Register does not pay over to the Trustees the amount levied to support the Almshouse until it is actually collected from tne taxpayers. In other words, when the Trustees require funds to make purchases for the institution, the Register, they say, pays over only the amount collected on the levy, no matter how small. This system, the committee sugaest to the council, should be changed on the ground of economy, as the Trustees at present have often either to buy on credit, or borrow the money on interest. The erection cf a House of Correction for vagrant 3, thus separating them from worthy also commended to the favorable action oj the council.

Inhumanity. Yesterday morning, whilst Capt. Worick, of the Eastern police station, was proceeding with his report towards the City HalL he was surprised to find in the street, near the intersection of Baltimore and Eden streets, a colored girl, about twelve years of age, who seemed in great affliction, and fleeing- as if an object of terror was in pursuit. The poor thing was entirely naked i irem neaa to loot, lie grabbed a shawl from a wc man and instantly throwing it around the well- nigh frozen form, hurried it to hi3 own house, where the comforts of life were generously pro- vided. Two weeks since a similar case was en- i countered by the police, and with a similar res'ilt.

Such conduct on the part of the police is hijhly creditable; and whilst the record of inhuman treatment of unoffending and helpless humanity manes uue mm jjuam, is reiresniag ana consoling to witness the prompt and meritorious instrumentality of the ofilcer. Baltimore General Dispensary. The annual re- port ct the managers of the General Disoensarv of Baltimore was made last night to the City Council. It shows that durice the vear there were 1.650 cases received, of which 1.650 were cured, i S9 relieved, 9 died, 79 were vaccinated, 1 discharged, 4 were sent to the almshouse, 13 were sent to the hospital, 4 were irregular, and 15 remained under care.

Inquest. Coroner Benson was called upon for the purpose of holding an inquest over the remains of a colored man named David Lecompte, who for nearly twelve years had faithfully served as a steward for the company running the steamer Mary Washington, and run on that boat. The jury rendered a verdict of death from disease of the heart. The deceased leaves a wife and children. Incendiarism.

On Sunday mornicz last, a gans of baleful desperadoes repaired to the premises of Mr. Henry Cilne, adjoining the burial grounds on Light street extended, and setting fire to his dust mill, it was soon reduced to a pile of smouldering rums. Mr. Cline, however, had previously re moved from the building all the valuable appurtenances, thus reducing his loss to $500, on which there was no insurance. Arpointments.

The tides in the North River were unusually high in the East River inconveniently so for the ferry boat3 the water in some cases overflowing the bridges. At one time during the night some of the boats were obliged to suspend their trips. The ice up the North River has been pretty thoroughly broken up. The British ship Three Bells, Captain Crighton, was towed dawn the Bay by the steam tug Jacob Bell, on Monday afternoon, and anchored in the Bay. An immense concourse assembled on the Battery to witness her departure, and cheer upon cheer rent the air.

As the ship passed Governor's and Bedloe's Inlands, salutes were fired by order of the commanding officers, and soldiers assembled upon the ramparts and gave Captain C. and his men loud cheers. A farewell address was also delivered, to which Capt. C. feelingly responded.

Unusual interest attached to the proceediags of the Gates court-martial, in New York, on Tuesday, on account of the presence cf Capt.

Watkins, of the steamer San Francisco. The captain was a long while on the witness stard, and, as expected, his evidence is strongly in favor of Col. G. He said he had all the assistance from Col. Gates that he ever desired.

The colonel was at work during the storm, doing all he could to aid the hand3 in keeping the ship clear. The rest of his testimony ia the same connection was equally emphatic. In regard to the steamer herself, Capt. W. sud he considered her perfectly seaworthy, and did not believe she would have foundered had not her engine given out.

The storm was the worst ha was ever in on the Atlantis. At thi3 stage of the proceedings, certain charges were presented in writing by Col. Gates against Capt. Gardiner. These charges, the Colonel remarked, he did not know whether they were true or false, but he nevertheless felt it his duty to offer them.

General Scott rejoined, with marked emphasis "Sir, no officer should ever bring such charee3 against a brother officer without being responsible for them." Captain it will be remembered, some days since, testified strongly against Colonel G. The charges against the latter were probably intended as an offset. The charges relate to the bribing of witnesses. jLOCAL matters. Washington's Birthdau.

Its Observance. The re currence of this anniversary, which must always prove interesting to the true American and lov'er Freedom, was not celebrated to that extent and with that enthusiasm which has characterized former observances, doubtless in consequence of the truly awful and impassable condition of the streets. But for the extraordinary fall of snow, a very impressive and attractive display of citizen soldiery would have enlivened the principal thoroughfares. In the afternoon, however, a squadron of cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col.

Geo. J. Zimmerman, with acting adjutant Snyder, made a handsome appearance, headed by music from Fort McHenry. In line were the Independent Light Dragoons, Capt Thos. Montgomery, and Mounted Carbiniers, under the command of their new and accomplished captain, John Stewart, Esq.

The Dragoons during the parade, presented Corporal D. Nicholson with a valuable gold medal, in testimony of the deep interest which he has manifested for the prosperity of the corps. The Independent German Yeagers, Lafayette Troop, Law Greys, and Washington. Guards designed participating; indeed some of the men appeared in uniform, but it was deemed advisable to postpone the parade. ne independent ureys, major itipiey, in ac cordance with time honored custom, designed a ball on an extensive scale, at the HoUidav street theatre, but were disappointed in not obtaining that building.

They measure 4 by 43a feet; the first, intended for the Shinier Hose Company, having a painting on the front ground representing the death scene of young Shifller, after whom the company i3 named; the reverse side has a beautiful painting, being the insignia of the New Market Company an Indian scene the Indian Chief New Market being the prominent feature, beneath which i3 the following: "Presented by the New Market Fire Co.

of Baltimore to the Shiftier Hose Co. of Philadelphia." The second banner is of the same dimensions, with an Indian scene representing the Indian Chief New Market, whilst the front ground bears a painting representing the Fairmount Water Works at Philadelphia, which is most admirably executed; below is the following lettering: "Presented to the Fairmount Engine Co. of Philadelphia by the New Market Fire Co. of Baltimore." Both banners are heavily trimmed with silver bullion fringe and tassels, ornamented with "a rich bordering and silk drapery work, and will be in charge of a delegation of the New Market boys, who are making the necessary arrangements for the presentation. Accident.

Mr. Malcolm, whilst driving towards Govanstown, on Tuesday night, was thrown from his sleigh and seriously injured on the road, about two miles from Baltimore. The runners passed over bis body, injuring him internally, it is feared, in a dangerous manner. A few moments after the accident, a sleighing patty, returning to the city, fortunately came alon, and pliciug Mr. M.

in their vehicle, brought him to his residence in stieet, heie his injuries received surgical attendance. tains an extract of a letter from the American Consul at Rio, dated Jan. 10, which, after stating that 17 American vessels were then in port, says: Freights have gone up to $1 50 per bag for coffee, and they talk of asking $1 75. When I first came here, freights were as low as 45 and 50 cents per bag. A ship sailed the other day for New Orleans, which carried 7,85 bags at $1 50 each.

Flour (Gallego) has sold for $13 50, and they are now asking 14 a barrel. The city consumes on an average 500 barrels" a day, and on the 1st before the arrival of the Maria with about 3,000 barrels, and the Lap Wing, from Baltimore, with 3,500 more, there were in all hands but 25,000 bbls. Now, on this day, the stock is about 27,000 and but little more known to be coming. In three weeks I shall expect to see Gallego selling for $18 and probably $20 per barrel. There are now in Rio 150,000 bags or coffee for sale.

Our country takes about one-half of all they sell. Twenty-five vessels are therefore necessary, at 3,000 bags each, which is about the average they cairy, to take it away. But for the want of vessels, the price of coffee would certainly go up. The average here is now about 9 cents per pound, on board ship. The crop of last year was a short one.

That for the present year will be immensely large. The berry is now nearly perfected in many places, and in the low lands will be ripening early in February. If there be labor enough to be had to pick it, I am assured that 3,000,000 bags might be exported in this year. The largest crop ever heretofore made, did cot exceed 2,200,000 bags, and the last year's, even aided by the old colic lying over, did not exceed We have taken at least one-half of all the coffse sent to Brazil, and we send her of all her bread. Indeed, I think this year we shall send her nineteen-twentieths of this nece3ary.

A3 yet, Europe has not sent a single cargo of the new crop. The last that came was a cargo from Trieste in Stptcmtter, and, of course, wa3 of the old crop. The American Legation Plain Dress. Some ftir has been caused in diplomatic circles by the absence of the American Ambassador from the opening of Parliament on Tuesday. The Time3 blundered in its account of the ceremony thus "Only one exception to official uniform wa3 observable, and the gentleman in question, who appeared in evening dress, and seemed unpleasantly conscious cf his singularity, was at once set down, as the American Minister." The mistake on the part of the leading morning paper was too good a thing to be passed over, and the Globe accordingly lost no time in supplying the real facts.

"Neither the Minister nor any member of the Legation," says the Evening Ministeral Organ, 'was present, information having been sent by the master of ceremonies, that members of the diplomatic corps must appear in court dress, which can- not be worn by the American Legation, without disregarding instructions." The Daily New3 is highly indignant at this alleged insult put upon the American people and Government, and our democratic cotemporary speaks out in this style: "There can be very little doubt that a deliberate insult has been offered to the great nation with which, of aU others, it becomes us to entertain the test relations. We will leave out of consideration the magnitude of our trade with America, the community of language, the common stock we will only point to the possible position in which England may be placed in the course of the war into which it seems we are entering. We hope, however, that a cause for ill-feeling will not arise between the two great Anglo-Saxon nations on a subject which is fatted to be debated only between a couple cf Chamberlains of defunct Principalities of the ancient Germanic Confederation." The most circumstantial account of this silly business appears in the columns of the Morning Advertiser: "Mr. Buchanan, we understand, wrote two letters for cards of admission to his suite and others. No answer was vouchsafed to these, save a printed form, stating that court dress could not be dispensed with, and two tickets, one for a lady, whodoe3 not even exist.

"In this manner Governor Seymour, C. S. Am-basssdor to the court of Russia, who is now on hi3 way to St. Petersburg, wa3 prevented from being present, although he applied to his minister to get him a ticket of admission. He will probably be very differently entertained by the Emperor of the FreLch and the Czar of Russia, both of whom will "condescend" to dispense with court livery.

"General Webb, also, was disappointed in the same manner. This gentleman is ex-minister from the United States to Austria, and was at one time of the engineering department in the American army. The embassy is said to feel the affront deeply." We really hope, for the credit of our country, that another mistake of this kind will not again occur. In the middle of the nineteenth century such a dispute is worse than a mistake it is a blunder. Liverpool Times.

The States of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, and Missouri, are aU named from their principal rivers, and the names are of Indian origin, excepting, perhaps, Kentucky and their meanings involved in some obscurity. Tennessee is said to signify a curved spoon; Illinois, the Riverof Men; Mississippi, the Whole River, or a river formed by the union of many. Michigan was named from the Lake on its borders. Iowa is an Indian name; also, Texas signifying beautiful.

California was thus named by the Spaniards at a very early day. Supreme Cotjrt of the United States. Monday, Feb. 20, 1S54. No.
