Measles nd small pox continue to prevail FREE COLORED PEOPLE IN MARYLAND. A project to sell them into temporary bondage.— A committee of the Maryland Legislature have re portecla bill for theremoval of the free nugroes from Charles county. by which they propose to compel them to aid in procuring vie means for their own removal. They say that they are " the creatures of the law—the beings of special statutes, and not members of the ho tly politic;" that " we constantly pass acts taking a way a portion of their privileges—and it would beex tmordinary, if we cannot take away the whole when we takeaway a part." 'Deism , the committee propose to sell them out um il they shall have earned a en& ciency to tratispint them from the State, if they are found in the county afters certain time; and this they consider politic and humane! The following is a sy nopsis of the various sections of this extraordinary bil:: The first section caants, th-tt all free colored per sons found in Charles county, after the first day ofJan wiry, 12,15. shill be arrested by the sheriff of that coun ty, by and with the sanction and direction of the COM ralsoienors of said °minty, and hired out under the au thority and direction of said commissioners. until they shall haveearned by their labor sufficient wages to transport them from said county. Second, the superintendent, or those who for any other cause are incapable of earning enough to trans port themselves, are permitted to remain for life. Th. third rule meek. it the duty Of tite county com missioners, if such incapacitated free negroes desire to leave the State, to tax real and personal property for their removal out of the State to any place they may &min; and for their location and settlement. The fourth imposes a similar duty on the commis sioners, and tax on property, for the location and set tietnentof any free black removed from the county by meansuf wages earned according to the provisions of this act. The fifth enacts that none who either leave or may be removed fram Charles County shall enter or be re moved to any section of the country in the State be yond the limits of Charles County, to remain longer than ten days. The sixth provides that any free colored persons violating the foregoing section shall be treated as are free colored people coming from another State, or for eign jurisdiction into the State, or according to the dis cretion of the courts of justice of section of country to which they may have removed, nr which they may have entered. toR T The seventh prohibits the manumission, by deed or will, of any slave to remain in Charles County, or in any county, or suction of country in the State. The eight and last section, clothes the commission ers with full authority to adopt any process for the most effectual execution of the provisions of this act. The object of this movement, the Committee tell us, is to obtain m eans to transport the free negroes to Africa, and compel them to earn the means of doing so. It appears that the free colored, has increased with merit greater rapidity than the white population; a circumstance which is held to be injurious to the morals of the latter, and alsoto the agricultural con dition of the State, and prospectively dangerous to both. The condition of the free colored man himself is esteemed not so good as thatof the slave; and the committee are dearly 'of•opinion that his condition could not be rendered worse, no matter to what region of country he may he removed, or by what process that removal might be effected. The Committee are alarmed at these drattritstance.s, and wish to rid the whole State of a dei of people whose presence is believed to be ininikal to the interests of the people, and particularly to slave proprietors. The free color ed people of Maryland, and of all the slave States, labor under great disadvantages. They rue ignorant, because they cannot receive an education, and as a natural consequence many of them are vicious. We have no doubt their removal to free States, would be greatly to their advantage, but we question whether the above law will noticed to grievous wrong:--whole families ma! , be sold for yeah—separated from each TEXAS othifetuid cruelly treated: IV* notidaryland, at her cwn expense. retool° ahem 'to Fri* bated or to Africa, rather than adopt tilloppieisitalaorl—N.

He was born at Derby, England, and sett!cdin Pitts burgh in 1808. For many years be was an activemem her of the City Council, and was at all times earnestly intent on devising, and carrying into execution, plans fur the public good. Amongst several otlOr improve ments in which he took a particularly efficient part, may be mentioned the establishment of the Water Works. He laid the foundation of public confidence in his integrity; and he was generally regarded as a man on whose judgment, fidelity, and perseverance en tirerelianco might be placed. To the prosperity of Pittsburgh he essentially contributed; and to his en terprise in establishing the first Flint Glass Works in this part of the United States,the city is in no small de gree indebted for the station which it holds as the great latiortary of the West. After he had inn great measure retired from pub lic life, he conseoteid to hold the office of a Directur of the Public Scheele, in which he took a particular In terest, and his colleagues can testifiy how faithfully he discharged its public duties. No man more sincerely rejoiced at every indication of the onward progress of knowledge, truth; liberty, and humanity. Blessed with an excellent tdorstanding, he diligently improved the talent by reading and meditation. He had a clear and discerning sense of moral good and evil; and had c.msequently. a thorough detestation of vice in all the various forms which it assumes. His strict integrity, and ingenuous dealing were universally acknowledged. He was a lover of hospitality; and though he had for several years withdrawn from general society, none took greater pleaiure in the company of his friends, and few umui'mted more to render this intercourse profitable sod agreeable. His whole deportment was characterized by a re markable amenity of disposition and urbanity of man ners. In him were combined the affability and cour tesy of a perfect 'gentleman, which were the sponta neous manifestation of a refined mind and a benevolent heart. To the very last moment of consciousness, be exhibited that kind consideration for others which dis tinguished his whole life. Though a sincere lover of peace, and anxious to avoid allcause of offence, yet he would not make any unrighteous compromise to obtain this end. He steadily followed the path which his sense of duty marked ont; and was not deterred by any obstacles, nor was his zeal cooled by sacrifices which any cause, dear tohis heart, called upon him to make. A firm believer in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, they Were his daily study: and the influ ence they exerted on his mind was exhibited in his daily conversation, in the house of prayer, and the devotion cf the closet. His memory will long be cherished with affectionate reverence and gratitude by his relatives and acquain tances, who painfully feel thatan irreparable breach has been made in the circle which he adorned by his virtue, directed by hia counsel, aniniated by his hopeful trust, and enlivened by cheerfulness. The devoted attach tnentof thesemiost nearly sedated to him, bears witness to the exemplary! fideliry, the judicious and unabated kindness with which be performed all the relative du ties of life.
