A good idea, we think, and we hope our
authorities will think so too, and let us have
one.
Gov. Tyler, of Va, passed through this
city, last week, on his way to Ohio.
"ON STANLY, ON r'-Mr. Greenhow, the
Librarian in the State Department, attacked
the Hon. Edward Stanly on Sunday last, in
the City Hall, with stick. Mr.. Stanly
kicked him out of the room, and thus the
matter ended. The attack was made on Mr..
S. because he addressed letter to the Sc
cretary of State, for the use of a book, which
Mr.. G.. refused to let him have, the note con-
tanning an account of the language used to
Mr.. S. Pretty business for the Sabbath,
gentlemen; but, if every person who makes
an attack should get served in the same
manner, the bump Of combativeness would
dwindle down, and the bumps Of respect and
duty would become prominent. Wonder if
Mr.. Greenllow wasn't blue.
The roof Of the ST. Charles Hotel of New
Orleans, was discovered to be on fire, on the
lllh inst. Though the great height of the
roof rendered it difficult to reach, it was eX-
tinguished without much loss to the building.
This is one of the most magnificent houses
in the United States, and perhaps, for the
purposes for which it is used, in the world |;
and, it is said, the exertions Of the fremen
to extinguish it was arduous and praise
worthy.
The alarm of fire on Monday night was
caused by the burning of chimney on 10th
street. We are sorry to learn that the mem
bers of two of the companies again got to
loggerheads We sincerely hope these bick-
erings may be stopped-if not by warnings
and friendly advices, by the strong arm Of
the law.
The Rev. W lillian Robinson Nottingham,
d. D., was consecrated, on Thursday last,
in st. Paul's church, Baltimore, Bishop OF
Maryland.
The "Potomac Advocate" published in
Georgetown, D. G., by Mr.. Charles G. Full
ton, is advertised for sale, cheap for cash.
The last number of Volume 4, of the
Covenant" published at Baltimore, has
been received. 1t is filled principally with
the proceedings Of the Grand Lodge of Mary
land. The proprietor requests his subscribers
to "poney up"
Mr.. ]. B. Morgan, of this city, pursued
his runaway clerk, as far as Wheeling, Va,
where he overlook him, and "had him up;"
but finding he could do nothing with him,
put him down again, and gave him "pass. :"
The authorities there decided it breach of
trust. Kreamer very generously offered him
forty five dollars to pay his passage back /!
Mr. Morgan says, worse scared man he
never did see.

ANOTHER FIRE.-Y esterday morning near
daylight, fire broke out in a building on
18th street, caused by carelessly leaving fire
burning in the fre-place-the wood from
which rolled out upon the floor; but it was
extinguished without much damage, other
than the burning Of a part of the floor on
which it originated.
AND YET ANoTHER.-A school house, oc-
cupied by colored persons, was nearly de-
etro1aJ h,, 6ra Toof ,o;rbp Cayor,l otbor
alarms were given, but we have not learned
ifany thing else was burned.
Some rowdies attacked scavenger of The
third Ward on Monday night last, and beat
him numerically. The rascals should have

sent there no doubt, and we hope may be al
lowed there desert.
Potomac .Aqueduct. The dam of the last
pier of the aqueduct has been pumped out,
and the laborers are now busiy engaged in

fore. that the erection OF the pier from the
rocky bed Of the river will be commenced by
the masons next week. flea. Gaz.
