BALLOON ASCENSION,
FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR.. ASH

TTNHE continued indspostion ofMr. N. J. ASH,
IL contracted whilst in this District, renders
it impossible for him to fulfil his engagement
with the public, in person. Under these circum-
stances Mr.. HUGH F. PARKER, the gentleman
who recently made most successful ascension
at Fredericksburg has offered to repeat the ex-
pertinent in this City, for the benefit of Mr.. Ash,
with a Balloon about double the size of that US
ed on the former occasion.
The ascension, should the weather admit, will
take place from the enclosure North of the Pre-
sidents House, on SATURDAY, the 9Th of No
vember, at o'clock in the afternoon. The pro-
cess ofinfaton will be commenced at an hour
sufficiently early to ensure its completion at the
time named.
Tickets of admission so cents Children un-
der ten years ofage at half price. These will be
distributed by the committee formerly appoint
ed, and will also be for sale at the bookstores
and principal hotels in Washington and George
town. They may likewise be procured at the
gate, on the day of ascension.
The Officers of Police Of this city have ten
dered their services freely, to keep order on the
occasion.
The generous sympathy expressed for Mr..
Ash by the citizens of this District, removes all
doubt respecting the success of the present ap-
peal, in tangible manifestation of its sincerity

Court Martial at the Navy Yark at Charlestown,
upon charges made against him by Captain Jes-

to have been most mastery effort. We are
happy to learn that a copy Of all the proceed

Getting Spilt.-Yesterday, about fifteen large
oxen were driven on board one of the steam
ferry boats at Market street, with view OF be-
ing taken across the river. While they were
cogitatng upon their new mode OF locomonon,
one of the animals broke the bar at the side OF
the boat, and fell overheard. The situation oil
the luckless animal excited the sympathies OF
his fellow travellers, who incontinenty rushed
over the side of the boat and shared his vale
ry accommodations Twelve of the noble lei
lows turned their faces towards the island winch
they soon reached, and three were drawn up al

will be left to some court of admiralty:

Disgracefui-We understand that mob,

were seen three or four persons who aspire to
be leading tories in this city, proceeded down
Fifth street last night between 10 and | O'clock
to the house of William Pllman, an honest and
worthy Irish citizen, which they entered and
committed series Of the most disgraceful out

Judge DuraH Of the Supreme Court.-In our
last we copied an article from the New York
Commercial which stated that it was the inten-
ton of Judge Duvall to resign his seat upon the
bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States. This report is confirmed by gentle
man who has recently conversed with the Judge
upon the subject. The reasons assigned for
this act are his advanced age and the infirmi-
ties consequent thereon-partcuarly a partial
deafness, which much impars his usefulness.
and, in some measure, disqualifes him for a
proper discharge OF his judicial functions
