COurt-Sudden DeCth-FireS, &c. Each arr
val, of the many modes of conveyance,
throughout this great "area of freedom,
brings additional wisdom, eoquence, or that
which passes for them, to the great political
focus of the nation-ccrtes Washington
They "come from the East they come from
the West, and North and South, but whether
with GLOWING breast" or not, 1t is difficult TO
saw. The lions from the political lairs from
every section of the Union, are now shaking
their names in tho Capitol, previous to the
treat roar which is TO commence on Monday
next and will doubtless continue till the "dog
star" rages But | will leave the Senators
and descend to the city.
Thanksgiving day was cold, raw. cisagree-
able day out of doors, but was not so bad as
to prevent most people from attending the
places of divine worship in the morning, at
which many appropriate discourses were de-
Iivered. That of the Rev. Mr.. Angler, the
present able minister at the Unitarian Church,
was very highly spoken of. The reverend
gentleman's home is in the Gland of the pill
gIims" and he gave most instructive and in
terestng history of thanksgiving 1t is high
ly gratifying for me to DO able to state that on
the evening of that holyday thsre was an over
flowing number of visiters at the tea-party
given for the benefit of the orphans of st. Vim
cents Asylum. For the purpose of adding
still more to the benevolent festivities of the
evening, Col Henderson, the commandant of
the garrison at eur Navy Yard, sent gratu-
tously the Marine Band, to enliven the COM
pany, in such strains as they, atone-as | was
almost going to say-can wake to ecstacy the
Tyre"
Monday next is the day fixed for the COM
mencement of the Criminal Court The cri-
n1inal calendar is the heaviest ever known in
this city. At present the prisoners in the
county Jail number filty-nine, four of whom
will be indicted for murder, and at least TWEEN
.y-one destined for the penitentiary.
A man was found dead, in his berth aboard
q vessel lying at Blagden's Wharf, yesterday
morning, He had complained, for few days
past, of slight illness, and it is supposed that
he grew worse on Thursday night and died.
A dwelling house was destroyed by fire last
night at the Navy Yard, on 9th street, near
the Euiscopal Church A gentleman was Sc
verely hurt, while giving his assistance in
saving the property. This fire would have
been very destructive, had not the able efforts
Of the Anacostia Fire Company saved the ad,
jacent buildings. Everybody knows in this CT,
tY, that the Anacostia is composed of the real
"bone and snew,n and its members are ,Cork-
ers in the fullest sense Of the word.
The jury in the Georgetown libel case,
White VS.. Nichols, Addison and others, agreed
this morning to disagree, after having been
confined to the jury room since Tuesday last.
Their thanksgiving dinner was provided at the
expense of the parties to the suit.
The Circuit Court will take up the appeal
docket on Monday morning, and will probably
adjourn and close the present term in the even
ing.
