Holders of the Mechanics' Bank of Balti-
more, I am induced to offer foe public con-
sideration,, the following lest ofnarnes, as

The names' of William Jenkins and William

attention of the Stockholders, under an im-
pression that the principal of rotation wilt not
be lost sight of, and that these Gentlemen are
¦well qualified both from experience and dispo-
sition to render essential services at that board.
They are both decided friends to the maun lec-
turing interests of our country, have served
regular apprenticeships to mechanic professi-
ons, and are both immediately interested in car-
rying them on. The activity and exertions of
those interested in (his institution, arc claim-
ed upon the present occasion—and it is to be
hoped the general advantage that may be gain-
ed by a partial change will excite an inquiry
into the characters .-end qualifications of the

TRIAL OF COL. EVER.

Saturday, May 23.
The chief justice. If this in a question
wliich has never beejvdecided in the courts ¦
of this state, we" must have recourse to the
words- of the act of assembly bnjy. : No
doubt.an exception to the grand jury may.
be taken now. .,.-¦..
The law of Virginia authorises the officer
to summon 24 mm, but says nothing of any
more. He' therefore cannot summon 25. ¦
If he desires the 25fch man,to .-attend, it ought
not to be considered as a summons ; but the
act is void. Most-Certainly the officer is not
authorised to discharge any person. Where
16 grand jurors do appear, by-standers may.;
be called and not irrtpahhelled; but if 16 of j
those summoned appear, they are to consti- i
tute a'grand jury. There is.no necessity, \
therefore, to vest the marshal with the pow- I
er of 'excusing those who say that they are ;
notable to attend. It is indeed-the custom
of the officers in this state to exercise a dis-
cretion in such cases ; and no doubt the
marshal acted with the best intentions, aiii-
der ;in idea that bis conduct was proper ;
but after he has summoned any indiwfaual,
he cannot let him off. A plain argument in
support of this position, is, that the person
summoned might nevertheless appear, tho'
not called by the marshal, and, offer his ser-
vices to be sworn oil the grand jury ; in
which case he could not be rejected. The
question depends, however, on the .point,
whether -thefe was an actual summons, for a
conversation, merely preparatory to a sum-
mons is A different tiling. It is therefore
proper to examine tine marshal as to what
