Snail For. A bill making an appropriation
OF thousand dollars to be expended at the CT
ty Hospital, for the purpose of relieving those
who might be afflicted by contagious diseases,
as well as for preventing their spread, was agi-
lated yesterday evening, in the board of Com
mon Council. A part of this sum was intend
&C to be put Immediately into use, by placing
those cases Of small pox, (some SIX or eight
DOW existing in our city, in such position as
would be most likely to prevent further conta-
gion. The bill passed the Council and was
sent in to the Board of Aldermen, then sitting
II the next room. This board made slight
amendment to it, and would have sent the bill
back for final passage in the Council, had not
that body adjourned in the meantime, thus
.eaving this highly important enactment unin-
shed, and the whole matter Just where they
found it. Should the cases now in existence
tie the means Of introducing this desolating
disease into other sections Of the city not in
iecteC, in consequence OF a want OF proper le-
cisatlon on the subject, some Of the members
Of the Council might possibly regret that they
lad not delayed ''going to supper" little
oHger yesterday evening.
Cor Thcmus' Case. How certain cores
rordent " makes out that an "indicimeaf
= this case viii be tried before the Circuit
Court now in session, is, somewhat, a legal
problem. This is a Civil Court. The term Of
The Criminal Court does not commence until
December. 1t is not likely, in the "course of
human events" that this affair will be agitatcd
ty indictment" before the Cirit Court now in
session.
Jfphiha was performed again at Carusi's, last
1.Elt. before 4 brilliant audience. The repeti-
ton last night increased the high estimation in
wAich it has been held rather than otherwise.
The singing Of Misses II. Dorman and Murray
were particularly extolled; likewise that of
Eessrs. Drayton, Tucker and Daniels, besides
several ladies and gentlemen who assisted in
this beautiful Oratorio, whose names we could
10; learn.
The Pottaraianes and Jeptha The sons ofthe
Forest, composing the delegation of the above
tribe, who are here OIL business with Govern
snent, INDUCED their taste for the fine arts last
night, by attending Prof. Hewitt's Oratorio.-
The poet has told us how emusic hath charms
10 soothe the savage breast" but our copper
skinned vsiters did not last night give the sem
tirnent very striking illustration. Or, per-
haps, the musical "charms" did so completely
"soothe" our warrior visiters, as to benumb
their powers of external emotion, for they "ga-
Led" upon the strange faces, or chung" upon
the sweet sounds by which they were surroun-
ded, with such intensity, that they looked more
ike statues in ''imperishabe bronze," or cop
per, than the rampant warriors of the far west.
They did not betray the slightest emotion dur
ing the whole performance, and seeming to
view the whole proceedings as SO much idle
noise.

no. Of the "Judicial' Bureau, as stated yester-
