It is seated at the junction of the rivers Poto- mac and the Eastern Branch, extending about four milea up each, incinding a tract of terri- tory scarcely to be exceeded in point of conve- nience, salubrity, aud beauty, by any in the work!.’ This territory, which 1s called Colum- bia, lies partly in the state of Virginia, and partly inthat of Maryland, and was ceded by those two states to the United States of Ameri- ca, apd by them established to be the seat of government, after the year 1300. The plan com- bives nut only convenience, regularity, elegance of prospect, and @ free circuiation of air, but everything grand and beautifal that can be in- troduced into acity. It is divided into squares or grand divie ong, by streets ranning due north and south and east and west, which form the grourdwork of the plan. However, from the Capitel, the President’s house, and some of the importsut areas in the city, ran diagonal streeta, from one material object to another, which not only produce a variety of charming prospects, but remove the insipid sameness Which renders come other great cities unpleas- ing. They were devised to connect the separate wud most distant objects with the priucipal, and to preserve throngh the whole a reciprocity of ‘These great leading streets are all 160 eb wide, including a pavement of 10 feet, and & gravel gwalk of 30 feet,planted with trees on each side, which wil! leave 89 feet of paved street for carriages. ‘The rest of the streets are, in gencral, 10feet wide, with a few only 90teet, except North, South nod East Capitol streets, whicu are 160 feet. The diagonal streets are named after the respective states composing the Union, while those running north and<ovth are, from the Capitol eastward named East F.rst Street, East Second Street, \c., and thoce west ot it are, in the same manner, called West First Street, West Second Street, &c. Thoce run- ning east and west are, trom ‘the capitol north- ward, named North A street, North B Sireet, Sc., and those Louth of it ere called South A et, South B Street, visions of the city amou: tangular equares generally contain from three to five acres, and sre divided into lots of from to 8 feet in front, and theirdepth from about 360 feet, according t> the size of the Phe irregular divis‘ons produced by Istreets are some of them smal in valuable situations.

The President of the United States, in locating the seat of the city, prevailed upon the proprietors of the cotl to eede a certain portion of the lots in every situation, to be cold by his direction, and the proceeds to be colely applied to tha public buildings, and other works of public utility within the city. This grant will prodace about 15,060 lots, and will be sufficsent, pot only to erect the public buildings, to dig @ canal, con- duct water through the city, and to pave and light the streets, which will save a heavy tax that arises in other cities, and consequently ren- der the lots considerably more valuable.

The e per end of the s & MARYLAND'S CENTESARY, The & polts Tea Party. It is well-knowa that one of the causes of the American revotution was the refusal of the colonies to pay duties to the British government, especially on teas. The fact that the ‘Boston Tea Party” on the 17th of December, 1773, pro- ceeded to the wharves \iaguised a3 indians and threw 240 chests of “‘the detestable weed” over- bowrd is made quite prominent in history since this act was about tho first popular demonstra- tion against British tyranny. Boston, however, was not slone, tor the residents of New York, Pliladeiphia, Annspolis, and others, showed the'r opposition to the introduction of the taxcd teas in diferent mod.x. The following is the edicial report found in the American archives of the event, the Baltimoreans and Annapoli- tans propose to celebrate on Monda’ oe ‘The brig Peggy Stewart, Capt. Jackson, trom London, baving on board seventeen packages containing two thousand three hundred ard ¥ pounds of that det: stable weed, tea, ar- here on Friday last. The tea was con. signed to Thomas Charles Williams and Com- pany, ofthis city. Those of the committee for Apne Arandel county who were in town hear- ing of the arrival of said vessel met in the ternoon, and were informed the said vessel had been entered in the forenoon of that day and the duty on the tea paid to the collector by Mr. Authooy Stewart, one of the owners of said brig. Four only of the committee being present it was thought advisable to calla meet.og of the people. Not.ce was thereupon immediate- ly given—meapy of the inhabitants, together with a pumber of gentlemen from Anne Aran- cel, Balt:more and otber counties, who were at- tending the Provincial Court, met, and having called beiore them the importers and captain of the ship, together with the Deputy Collec tor, the question was moved and seconded whether the tea should be landed in America or nol? and the question being put it was enapimously determined in the negative. A committee of twelve was thereupon ap- pointed to attend landing the other goods on board the said vessel and to prevent tue land- ing of the tea, after which the meeting ¢ 1- journed to Wednerday, the 1th, at 11 o'clock, at which time the meiubers of the com mitt and other inhabitants he county were i viled to attend @t this place. In consequence of this adjournment @ great number of very respectable gentlemen trom Aune Arundel, Baitimore and Prince George’s count: Lere, and amonget otherseigitiot the c: cf Anne Arundel county. Those of the a mittce proceeded to examine into the a‘fair, calling before them Messre. James aud Josep! Williams and Anthony Stewart, and also took into consideration an Offer made by said Wil- jiams’ and Stewart to destroy the tea and make such concessions as might be satisfactory to the committee and the people assembled. The com- mittee were of the opinion if the tea was de- stroyed by the voluntary act of the owners, and proper concessions made, that nothing further ought to be required. ‘This, their opinion, be- ing reported to the assembly, was not satisfac- tory to sil present. Mr. Stewart then volon- tarily offered to burn the vessel and the tes in her, and that proper acknowledgments should be made and published iu the Maryland Gazette. Thos acknowledgments were accordingly made, and are as follows: We, James Williams, Joseph Williams and Anthony Stewart, do severally acknowiedge that we have committed a most daring ‘nsuit and act of the most pernicious tendency to the Uberties of America; we, the said Williams’s, in importing the tea, and said Stewart in pay- ing the dnty thereon; and thereby deservediy incurred the displeasure of the people now ccn- vened, and all others interested in the preser- vation of the constitutional rights and liberties of North America, do ask pardon for the same; and we rolemnly declare for the futare that we never willinfringe auy resolution of the people tor the salvation of their rights, ror will we do any a¢t that may be injurious to the liberties of the people; and to show our desire of living in amity with the frieuds to America, we do re- qu: st this meeting, or as many as c! to at- tend, to be present at auy place where the pao- ple shail appoint, and we will commit to'the flames, or otherwise destroy asthe people may choote, the detestable articls which has been the Caure of ths our misconduct.

James aro Joseph Williams, owners of tha tea, went on board cald versel with her sails and colors sing, and voluntarily set fire to the tea, and in @ jew bours the whole, together with the ves-e), was consumed, in the presence of a great number of spectators. * * * By order. Joun Dockert, Ulerk Com. MeMahon, in hie history, says of this eve: “The tea destroy.ng at Boston he3 acquired r.- Pown asan act of unexampled daring at that cay in defence of American hiberties; but the tea burning at Annapolis, in the ensuing fall, far surpassed it in the apparent deliberation and utter carclessners of concealment attending the og megsures which led to its accomplish- ment” in Anvapolis there will be a procession, in which the citizens, officers, and cadets of the Naval Academy will join, firing of cannon, dis- play of flage, an address by Rev. ©.

It may not be uninteresting to state that on May 25th, 1774, after Great Britain had closed the of Boston, the Annapolitans resolved to unite to effect a repeal of the blockading act, to put an immediate stop to trading with Great Britain, &c., aud they responded to the appeal of Boston for aid by sending 1,000 bushels of corn, while the Baltimoreaus sent 3.000 bushels of corn, 20 of rye, and 2! barrels of bread, for the r of the city.

A correspondent of the Baltimore American writing from New York, says of the bridal trous- seau of Miss Honore, the fiancee of Col. Fred. Grant: “Exeept the wedding dress, which was im- ported, the dresses and garments composing the trou. eau were all made at the establishment of MeCreery & Co., in this city, and as a glimpse was kindly afferced me betore it was shipped for Chicago, I can give your jady readers some idea of the fine taste which has presided over the outfit for a republican princess. Of the dresces, one a trained dinner dress, was all pink, a lovely shade ef pale rose pink; another ail Dive, corresponding in every particular. The over-skirt fo-med a short apron in front, which extended into ee<bes at the side, and held the pouf, and long, fist, box pleating which tormed the train in povition. The bodies were cut V shape, the sieves demi-jong, and finisbed with knife pleatings. The skirts were trimmed with flounces and poftip, crossed at intervals by loops of the silk, and the apron and sashes with osirich feather trimmings and deep fringe, matching in color precisely. Plaitings of tuile added to ruffles of exquisite Valenciennes lace finished the peck and wrists. A very beautiful dress was in two shades of green, Nile green and the invisible, almost traight puff down the front, side, three series of fine knife- pleatings on the other. The back of this skirt also was laid in a plait, surmounted by a pouf, and the bows and ends formed of tine knife-pleatings with ends, in which the two shades were combined. A carriage dress in a dark shade of plum color was composed of velvet and faille, the silk being used for the shirred front, the sleeves and the pipings; the velvet for the ounce and the court train. Another carri: e dress was of black bine faille, piped, and slightly intermixed with palest biue. The skirt of this had a puffed front and a tong train without any overskirt. The body high and plain, belt front, with basque at the back, and trimming of fna*knife- pleat ngs, with large bows at the side of the skirt. The sleeves were shirred upon the front, ard a cuff turned up above the pleating, lined. and piped with the color. A maatle acco: anied this dress, edged with a pleating an ined, and piped to mach the dress. A feather trimming in darkest peacock shades was used ee heading upon the sleeves, skirt, b- sque and mantle most eifectively. A beautirul walking dress was intwo shades of ashes of roses, the sleeves and apron of the darker shade, the body part and pipings of the lighter. The broad sash wasofthe silk dou- bled, the two shades being combined. ‘The garniture was flat ostrich feather bands, deep Tich tringe, and pearl buckles. An elegant reception dress was of pale corn- co’ored gros grain combined with purple relvet. The front was shirred with folds of velvet be- tween. At the back an overskirtsof velvet forming two wings, was lined with corn-e>lor, and draped most gracefully over the trained sk The grand toilettes elicited the warmest ex- Prersions of admiration. One was a tea rose, trimmed ‘ith fine tinge pleatings, and ex. quirite Jace. The overskirt was of crepe de chine of the eame shade, looped up with violets and tearoses, The other was a peach-color the front of the skirt composed of alternatin, puffed crepe de chine and lace. The tunic forme apout, and wide sashes at the back only, looped with mc % roses and ostrich feather tips the garniture being repeated upon the bodic and the sleeves, which were most beautifally and tastefully finished with tulle plaitings and poirt lace. Among the other articles composing the trous- seau were four opera cloaks, ope of white gros grain, trimmed with fur, one of maltelasee silk, trlupmed with white ostrich feather trimming and pearl passementerle, one of satin, thick, but nox glossy, magniticiently embroidered, ang avother of white striped cloth,in which a siripe of velvet mo.3 alternates, with end of thick, netted silk. This was bordered with a very rich tringe of silk and chenille. ‘The bridal drees, par excellence, is of marvel- lous white satin, with point lace over-aress made to order and beautituliy cooped with orange blostoms. Itis quite high in tho nc bas long siceves, and is to be covered by ap! iNvsion veil.

The Jersey City Presbytery assembled panc- tually at 1:30 p. m. yesterday in the lecture- room of the Second Presbyterian Church in Third street.

To tl who expected a rich feast of néal, the proceedings proved very uninter- esting, ber rere! part of the session being de- voted to adebate in which almost every mem- ber of the presbytery participated. After brever ig | the Rey. Mr. Ammerman, of Hackensack, J. S. Miller was recalled. He said that Miss Pomeroy, on showing him a heavy gold ring which Mr. Glendenning had given ber, said: € means business, aud wishes to see you in afew daye;” subsequently she told me that she had retarped the ring t? bim that the inscription might be changed; this oce7rred about the Christmas holidays; she stated dis- tinctly that Mr. Glendenning gave her the ting; “Mr. Glendenning never spoke to me en the subject of this proposed marriags.”” After describing the circumstances under which the arrest was made, the witness said: On the night of the arrest Mr. Glendenning said: ‘I have got the documents in my pocket now to prove my innocence of this charge.” Upon asking Mary what this meant, she fold me that she had given Mr. Glerdenning a paper tosbield him from all blame. Her story was that he went there one night about six weeks before his arrest and said: ‘M; mand ink here?” She said, “No. le wished her to write what be would dictate. dictated and she wrote. But when about halt through she said, ‘‘Glen., this isnot trus.”” avewered, “You write and I will see you through.’ When it was finished he asked her to sgn it. She objected again, saying it was not tree. He then drew he tol from his pocket, ard holding {t over her head, compelled her to sgnit. She told me this not ance, but many times At this point the prosecution relingaished the Witness to the defense, but Mr. Dodd claimed that he could not cross-examine him ashe had no minutes of the evidence. A long debate fol- luwed upon the admissibility of such testimony ‘until 1.30 p. m. to day.
