IVaehington' a Birth Day in Baltimore?It* CeUhratwn?IiaJl of the City Guard* at night?Ball at the Front Street Theatre?Description of the Visitor* at each, tfC. Dear Bennett? There are aorosny subject* upon which one may exert hi* eomposital and descriptive power*, and tnuoli (hat could be said in relation tetbe many grand/f/r* that have lately "come off iathi* victimised city, that 1 real.y am in a atate of hesiiaiion to know hoar to begin, or where to commence, or rather am vacillating whether to commence at ail or not, knowing, a* I do, that nothing but real new* or interesting descriptive article*, can be of use in a paper like yoar popular journal. On Tuesday la*?, the one hundred and tenth anniversary of the birth of the immortal Washington, the day was ushered in with a gentle westerly w ind, a clear uky, a bright sun. and a mild and serene atmosphere. The wholv lace of nature was unrutlied, and seemingly smiled in consciousness of its beine the nKiveriiarv of one of natnre'a f? rentes. Before the hour of business had approached, oar principal streets were thronged with a living mure of poisons, of alleges, sizes, shape-, conditions, complexions, and guniuses, all wishing to partake of their share of the refreshing fragrance and exhilarating influence of such a truly beautiful morning. During the course of the day, the ardor of oar military oom panics was Arouse j, and many of them Faradrd, which, with the dulcet sounds, brought rth from the best band in the State of Maryland, the Independent Bluee, and other*, caused a general smile of approbation at the -evivlng spirit of our volunteer corps. The Independent Light Dragoons turned out nineteen men, all told, twelve of whom were high privates At night there was a general ball-going. The Baltimore City Gaards, a newly organized, very efficient, and decidedly the strongest military company in Bal imore, held their first annual bail, at Washington Hall. The proceeds of which are to dc very jhuuhdij appropriate to me purcnase 01 tentr, CrtCip equipage, &c. The main room at the Hall is very large, end it was very handsomely and tastefully decorated In the extreme end of it was placed, already fixed, two tenia, and urouad the room, in every direction, the apcetator'a eye rra ed upon some beautiful and well-arranged decoration. The admirable band attaebed to the United States Artillery at Port Me Henry, who paraded wiih the Gnarda through the day, waa preseat, and performed some beautiful mnaie. By the wuy, it would be well to biat that had one of tnebuglars been little more aeberhe would not probablynavefallen over while the company waa promenading by hie music. There was a great display of unifoims, though all of thy wearers were not justly entitled to be called soldiara, for some one suggested thst there was a strong suspicion afloat that many strutted in borrowed plumes." Among the crowd eould be plainly discerned Col 8 H late an M- C from thiseiiyv who is said to be the best looking old bachelor ia Baltimore; Messrs. T. E. T A. K. L and Captain M of tha Guards, wera rood looking soldiers Mr. H in the Maryland CndeV' uniform, proved himself an attentive gallant. One individual ia uniform was present who Was really large enough to have swallowed another Jonah C*pt S C. O ,of the Dragoons, who is a widower, shown out in his flashy uniform. But, to (he fairer oortion of theeomnanv. which was verv nu merous. Miss E in a dark dresa trimmed With white, wai well receired; the Misses P of Market atreet, and Miaa J??, ol the sairje, were quite attractire; Miss R in a dark plaid, Miss H in white, and Mi a S who couM not dance, on account of her lameness, all looked admirable. There waa probably tire hundred ladiea upon the floor, of whotanot lucre thaa fifty could be considered haud-omc, though I must any that a aaora reapectablc collection it rarely aaaembled. All fond B vvnh perfect order, and every eye aeem?o to besiui Kh a placid satisfaction, at the manner in hicu they were provided for. One word aa to the l.tlL- bJlet ma*, tar, Mr. Nl. H. GriHith, wim waa formerly of *c intend to keep biin here?for ia not to be discovered in hi* prol* aside in this etty. The awkwardness that he h?d to contend with, ia ao large a company, waa well avoideu; and all aed by iu? by stand re, and kept the crowd around b,u altogether obnatrd. The ball broke up hboat two 'clock, Wood otiler, and much m.rth, iwkw.?rrfnet*, iudicrnuraess, hilarity, greediness, wen the prorainsat characteristic! of the atle^dera Mr- War mil hai, no doubt, made a good peculation out of the affair.

I should have resigned my seat in the Senate at the commencement of the present session, but for several reasons, one of which w is that the General Assembly did not meet until near^a month after Congress, during which time the Senate would r.ot have been fully represented, or my successor would have had only the unceitain title of an Executive appointment. The time has now arrived when, I think, that without any just reproach, 1 may quit the public service, and bestow some attention on my private atfairs, which have suffered much by the occupation of thu latge part of my life in the public councils. If the Roman veteran had title to a discharge after thirty years' service, I, who have served a much longer period, may justly claim mine.

Albaj?y, Thursday, March 3,1812. In the Assembly, to day, Mr. McMitmay presented a petition from th? representatives ol N. Myers, praying for a release by the State of all lands belonging to him, escheated to the State. Mr. Davizao presented a remonstrance agains' pacing any law requiring hawkers and pedlars to Inkh nut n lip f>na*> in arpH (imp TKerp la h dffD game being played in relation to this matter' It is well known that pedlarH have for sale a great deal of good ae well as bad jewelry, which they offer much cheaper than could be obtained of the regular dealers. This course is highly dissatisfactory to them, and certain jewellers in this city and elsewhere, have got up petitions in almost every town in the state, praying for a law which would, if enacted, cut off entirely this honest and industrious class of citizens front their means of livelihood. The game, however, is well anderstood here. Mr. Towksekd presented a petition from the city of New York, praying that the Independent Treasu. ry system might be adopted as the financial policy of the State. Mr. Stetson presented a petition from Clinton countytremonstrating again.-t the infliction of a direct tax, as proposed by Mr. Comptroller Flagg, unless, at the same time, provision is made for the consttuction of the Ogdensburgh and Lake Champlain railroad. Mr. D. R. F. Jokes called for the reconsideration of the vote of yesterday, by which the petitioners from the Helderbergh were taken from a standing and referred to a select committee. Mr. Palmer, the chairman of the select committee, is from the heart of the Helderbergh, and Mr. Jokes said that he made his motion on account of the committee being interested in the matter. After some debate, the vote was reconsidered, and the matter referred to the judiciary committeeThe House then went into committee of the whole, on the bill to change the mode of appointing Bank Commissioners. Mr. Swackhamek submitted as a substitute, that the office ot Bank Commissioner be abolished, and that the Banks be required to furnish monthly sworn statements to the Comptroller. Mr. S. took the ground that the public good would be better subserved, by the adoption of thissubstitute. There were already,he contended,too many officers, if gentlemen would examine the B.ink Commissioners' report, they would find that they had been of no service to the public. The #J5000 had been uselessly expended He went on to show where banks had failed, and the public been shaved, in spits of ths Commissioners, and those officers knew nothing of it until it was too late. He argued at length in favor of his substitute, mainly on the ground of the useleeeness of the office, and the saving to be effected, and the advantages to be obtained from its abolition. Mr Simmons said that when this bank inspection had been first adopted, if he had had a voice he did not know but that he should have been in favor ot the one proposed by Mr. S. But a system had been adopted, and he did not believe in legislative speculation or experimenting. The mere change, might give a shock to public confidence. He alluded to, as in bad taste, the habit prevalent of never mentioning a bank without coupling it with the term corruption, and this too without tne shadow of proof. Mr. Gsout folUwed in defence of his colleague's amendment, assuming the same position and argument. |Mr G. also went into a review of the banking system of the State, of the present situation of these institutions, with comments upon the inefficiency of the Bank Commissioners' Report to meet the end for which it was designed, of developing and placing before the people of the Stats a plain, clear and full account of the situation of the banks of the State. Mr D. K.F. Jones followed in opposition. He feared that if. as this amendment proposed, it was left to the officers of the bank to make a report, their interests would be too powerful to enable them to make a lair reports lie would much rather have it left to Bank Commissioners appointed by the people's representatives- The legislature, who might be supposed to be disinterested-. Taking this view of the case he must vote against his colleague's amendment. Mr. Loomis thought if by retaining the office of bank commissioner, and by obliging every banking Corporation to publish in the county a monthly statement of its affairs, it would subserve the public interest much more effectually, than by the adoption of ihe amendment proposed by the gentlemun from New York. At present, the bank commisioners visited the various baiiks twice or three times a year, and examined their books made up from day to day by their officers- By the plan he proposed, if there was any thing suspicious in the published account daiieaTo" it, and thus ifie bank commissioner directed to an examination of it To this add the right of any stockholder to examine the books of the bank whenever he might choose, and the public would be fully satisfied. The debate was continued by Messrs Towh?ej?d, Swackiiamf.r, and liorrMAx. Mr H. said this was a fine loop hole upon which to hang a speech, but as gentleman were going to adjourn over to go into Massachusetts to-morrow, he would be brief. He thought the reason which had made the bank commission a failure, rniglit easily be obviated, if gentlemen were serious in this. The whole care of the bank commissioners had appeared to have been to take enre of sick, rotten institutions, by letting them down carefuMy on that supposed bed of down?the safety fund. Take away this, certainly, and the object of the gentlemin would be attained. As to relying upon the sworn statements of a bank, experience had shown the value of.a bank oath. Mr. H. characterised such oaths as unworthy of belief. The question was then taken on the proposition to abolish the office of bank commissioner, and it was voted down. On motion of Mr. Tambliw, the day of the election of the commissioners was fixed for the fourth April. After some further propositions to amend, in which the remainder of Mr. Swackhamer'* amendments were rejected, the committee rose and reported. in ine riouse, mr. s. renewed bis amendment, abolishing the olHce of bank commissioner, and it was again rejected. The report was than agreed to, and the hau*e then adjourned.

I would take this opportunity of informing you, also, that I lure taken ample notes of my tour to the West, 1 of which you shall hara advantage on my return, I to add to the rich stores and ample resources which have made the Herald the pride and glory, 1 not only of the United Stater, but of the newspaper world at large. Wherevei I have gone, the news- I boy has always been beseiged for the Herald, and after his stock of that paper is exhausted, his "oe- 1 cupatioa'? gone i This is the eve of Washington's birth-day, whieh 1 is generally celebrated by festivity and rejoicing I throughout the length and breadth of the laid. It i would have been observed in Carlisle by a ball, i had it not been prevented by the influence of a wo- I man, and ysu know nearly all the mischief in this i world is directly or indirectly caused by the fair i sex. As near as 1 could learn from ths conversation of the young men, whose acquaintance 1 had made at the hotel, it would seem that a certain Miss a daughter of a lady who1 keeps a mint-stick shop in an obsure little hamlet called Westminster, in Maryland, is on a visit to this place, and baa been accidentally admitted into good society. Aa upstarts are always the greatest sticklers Tor preserving caste, and avoiding coming in coutact wiih the lower classes, this young lady i gave out that she could not attend the ball in question as there would probably be some mechanics' daughters present, and even some young men who made an honest living by honest labor. Now,there is a great emulation, it would seem, particularly among the women of this town, as to who shall be the most genteel, and no sooner was tbe above piece of intelligence noised abroad, than every lady in tbe town coincided with tbe mint sitck giil, and declined attending the ball which was to be polluted with the presence of such monsters as mechanics and others, who actually worked for a i living. Thus it has come to pass that the birth day i of the father of his country will pass by unnoticed, in eonsequence of the superfined delicacy of algirl. whose fine bonnet was purchased by the sale of i frum'five to six hundred sticks of candy,retailed by i her own pretty little fingers. Her origin should be no objection to her, but as she is so critical of the pedigree and occupation of others, she gives just reason for the inspection of her own. I There is a prodigious quantity of false delicacy and refinement, ignorance, vulgarity, and aristocracy .among the first circle in this pretty little village. 1 he criterion of gentility among them is aeon icuipv tur taiiioi, miu iiuiicbi luuasiry an geoeril. 1 Those who form the first class are generally as I poor as a parson Vcow,with neither intelligence nor education to support their pretensions to respec- i tability, "nor even that propriety of conduct which i characterizes it. For example, 1 saw a young lady who wears ringlets, and a lead colored bonnet ar.d i dress, and who is called the belle of the place, promenade Mainetreet seven times in one aay, and it t is said the Railroad Company contemplate employ- i ingher as inspector of that part of the track situa- ted within the limits of the borough, as the could attend to superintending the repairs, &c-, in con- i nexion with the important business of spinning street yarn and beau catching. i This is the seat of a collrge named Dickinson, in honorof the author of the Pickwick Papers and llarnaby Radge, and I presume he will pay a visit j to the institution which has borrowed his name j The Faculty are said to be very suitable men, ex- j cept the President, who 1 should judge to be an i astonishingly inferior sort of a man. Tne students i are not a set of a ere soap locks; 1 am told, by those who kuotv, that there is not an idea among them i fi.r every dozen. There are, also, thirty or foriy t young bucks connected with the college in the capacity of law students, the one half of whom should dc plough-boys My old friend Captain Sumner, of the army, with whom I served as a volunteer in Florida, in '37, is a great disciplinarian, and has his men in a fine the other officer*,are all perfect gentlemen. l"o'ver- i head a little incident, which is so good an illustra- tion of this part of Pennsylvania, that I must relate it. A young lady of the first quality, visiting in i the place, accidentally discovered, in one of the petty officers, a distant connexion of her family, 1 who had been reduced by misfortune to ihe neces- j sity of serving his country as a soldier. With that t kindness cf heart which always bespeaks the true j lady, she spoke to the young man as an acquaint- t anee, and in consequence of it being made kuotvn j that some of her blood flowed in thu veins of a ser- geantin the army, she has bera lowered one rung on the ladder of society. This is democracy?this a is republicanism The want of hospitality of the Pcnntylvanians i is notorious all over the Union. In this place, evan altera man has been invited to the house of one of these gentry, if they do not find bis acquaintance will add to tneir consequence, they do not hesitate toj shut the door in his face, should he presume to repeat the visit on a general invitation to that effect. This, I am informed, has frequently happen. rd, and has added not a little te the reputation of those who have dene so, for the test of respectabil ity here is pride, and contempt for supposed inferiors :>nd the question which is the touchstone j to everything is, "What will Mrs. Grundy aay V' There ise standing committee, whoee duty it ie to I inspect the credentials of all who offer for admit- u aa ce to memb rrship of the first circle, end to expel ti ill unruly or incompetent members. n These parvennes are at once the disgrace and p ?est of many of our towns and cities.

Judging of his every action by his temper, he is a suitable person to speak before bristling bayonets. But it is, no doubt, a hard matter to bring our tempers under the subjection of the religion of our meek and lowly master. If he would obtain the commission of adjutant or serjeant major, he would be at home. If g late Colonel of the bloody 421 was still in command, he would, no doubt, obtain it upon application.

Marine Court. Before Judge Sherman. Thoma* Murray, v?. Jean Detail ?The plaintiff hipped on hoard the French brig Arsak, at Ro* belie, hound to this port, aad back. Thinking ith one of hia distinguished townsmen (for he as born in Dublin,) where liberty dwells, there i my country," he left the brig on her arrival sre, and brought the present action agaiaat the aptain, to get posseesion of hia cheat, which he rera contains clothes and money. JYhen the vesil was ready to sail lait Monday, the plaintiff was rrested as a deserter, and carried oa hoard, but llowed by a writ f habeas corpus. The mate line on shore with him, but instead of conveying i m before tha Marine Couit, left him with the o? sers, and then complained to the Mayor against te latter (Messrs. Johnson and Howard) for mak- 1 ig a false arrest. The Captain contended that i [urrtv hftd thinned for IV.-w Vnplr aw is constitutional, Cor the reasoa that Congress is invested with full powers to paw a Bankrupt Law. This decision was not nnexpected to ine, but the reav>n as* signed by his honor is by no means satisfactory. I am on? of those who believe that the law is uncons'itutienal, and with vour nprmi?j;?? briefly state my reasons for this belief. 1. Congress is prohibited from pissing any tx pott j facto law It is alleged, however, that this refers to criminal laws only. I am not satisfied of this; but admitting such to be the case, it proves that the spilitof the constitution is directly opposed to laws having a retro-active operation. Every argument in favor of the prohibition of tx vott fatio criminal laws, is equallv cogent against the iuatice and propriety of all other laws containing the retrospective principle. The constitution prohibits the States, in their individual capacities, from parsing any law impairing the obligation oi contracts. The framers of that instrument considered the inviolability of contracts a matter of such vital importance to the well being of society, that, unwilling to trust the States to pass the requisite laws on the subject, they determined to secure this great object, by taking from the States all power to interfere with, or impair, the obligaI lion of contracts Will it be said that this power, thua taken from the States, was bestowed upon Congress 1 Show me the pat?age ia the constitution in which it is conferred upon that body. The power to pass uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcy, does not include authority for making those laws take effect upon pre-existing contracts There is not the slightest ground for the supposition that the operation of those laws was intended to be different from that of all other laws; and as it is quite evithat the spirit, if not the letter, ?f the constitution, is hostile to retro-active laws, we are irreeistably forced to the conclusion that the present bankrupt lAv is cnconstitut tonal. 2. Judge Belts, however, has asserted that the bankrupt law is constitutional, because Congress has power to pass uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies. In his opinion, then, it can make but little difference what those laws are, and what they are designed to effect; so long as they are uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies," they are constitutional! Is this correct reasoning I I should say not. All powers conferred by the constitution were intended to be exercised within the limits of reason, common tense, and common justice; and any law passed under an un warrantable stretch of these powers, is as unconstitutional, as though the powers had been altogether withheld. Let me illustrate this by supposing a case. |Suppcsc Congress were to pass a law that, from the date id the act, all debtors, rich and poor, without the payment of a cent to their creditors, should be forever discharged from their debts. Would Judge Belts, or uny other man in his senses,1 deny the unconstitutionality of such a law 1 I think not. But why would not this law be constitutional 1 It would be a "uniform law on the subject of bankruptcies," which Congress has express authority to pass. The reason is obvious?it would be an uawarrantable exercise of the power? an outrage upon reason,ljuslice, and common sense, and thtrtforc, unconstitutional And this is one of the reasons why I consider the Bankrupt law unconi stitutional?the power under which it was enacted. was abused. The abuse, to be sure, was not so great as in the case I have surprised; but still it was an abuse, and for that reason ihe law cannot be considered constitutional. The question may be asked, whether the power has, in point of fact, been abused. To this interrogatory I wouldl reply in the words of a distinguished lawyer, Theodore Sedgwick, Esquire. In his recent speech at the Exchange, he observed "What does the constitution say about the matter! Why ,it says that Congress shall have power to paaB uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies.? Where are you to go to find the meaning of that Why to old mother England. Uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies, had long been known when our Constitution came into existence, and there were three fundamental essential principle* recognised, wot owe or which caw be focwd iw the prksewt act. In the first place, as to the character of the persons who were to be affected by this act: they were to be traders, merchants and bankers only. In the second place as to the character of the proceedings, and who began them: it was a proceeding by the creditor, for the purpose of winding up the debtor's estate?of arresting the progress of an insolvent, and compelling him to divide his assets among his creditors. And, lastly, a consent of a portion of the creditors was essential to a discharge of the insolvent. In no one of these three fundamental principles, does the present Bankrupt law resemble any one of its predecessors. In the first place, it is aa act atiTfctiag the whole world, except the bankrupt coxporatirma. Then as to the character of the proceedings Bv I....... 1 u. .1 1: m *T B nnuiii ur^uil s 11J IHC crrunurs 1\0[ 81 all.? With a few exceptions, the creditor is to remain perfectly passive, and allow ie debtor to proceed to a surrender or not, as he may see fit. Then again, as to the consent of the crediters. No such consent is required- To be sure, ?he creditor may go to a jury*-but on what 1 Not on the q"estion whether the debt was improperly contracted, or whether the person was a gambler or a reckless spendthrift. Such a Bankrupt Ijaxsis equally a stranger in England as in this country." It appears, then, that the present Bankrupt Law bears no resemblance to any of its predecessors, and, consequently, is not such a one as the Constitution contemplates- The interest of the creditor is almost wholly overlooked, and the whole design oj the framers of the law, seems to have been, to sponge debts in the most summary manner, without the slightest reference to the character of the debtor, or of the conduct of which be may have been puilty. No distinction is made between him who is stained with fraud, and the unfortunate who has been upright in all his dealings. It matters not that you can prove the fact of your debtor's having wilfully cheated yoa, and of his having secreted pro perty which no can receive again the moment he is discharged; it matters not that you can establish to the satisfaction of any jury, that he has defrauded the widow and the orphan, and appropriated trust funds to his own use; the law, miscalled the bankrupt law, throws its protecting arm around him, equally with the poor but honest debtor^ wht wuuiu vmuijr ymj CYHJ UUIIKI UC uwci, IDQ WO( lammts his inability to do justice to hiscreditors Will any man say that this law was cot enacted uc der an abuse of the power to pass unifotra laws 01 the subject of bankruptcies!
