Among the many gratifying evidences of the
in which Mr.. Dobbin's. nomination is re-
ceved in this district, select the following from
an eminent democrat Of Wake county:
'The nomination Of Mr.. Dobbin, though some
what unexpected, and to the disappointment of
some, cannot fail, when he shall become known, to
be acceptable to the district. Mild, amiabe, and
intelligent the more that is known of him, the more
will he be esteemed. am, myself, much pleased
with his selection, as have known him, and valued
him one Of the most consistent and intelligent
politicians of our party. Indeed think the wings
would consult their own interest by not opposing
him, because, with many friends in his own party,
it is doubtful if he has an enemy amongst his oppo-
nentsn
The Wilmington Journal, speaking of the nomi-
nation, says, "hIr Dobbin stands high in the est-
nation of those who know him. for talents, acquire
ments, and high and honorable bearing, as any
man in the district eve predict that the tri-
umph of democracy in that district, in August next,
will be more complete than it has been for many
years. NORTH Cdroiinian.

FORREST IN LONDON

We see that Mr.. Forrest thrives as well AFTER
being killed by the London critics, as Mr. Ojdbuck
after his "ourth suicide" and we are happy to re-
cord that criticism may be survived. Merits apart
in both cases, Miss Cushman went from here with
such letters and SO many ofthem, and Forrest is so
wholly Incorporating and averse to owing any one
for aid, that the first result Just as il was was inc
vitable. The English public, however, gradually
see over the large Of the critics, and we copy
below couple of refrains in another KEY. We
have London paper which speaks very sghtingly
of Miss Cushman, but we leave this without com
ment. She is an excellent actress and both she and
Forrest will have been properly appreciated before
their engagement is r.--Epening Mirror.
PRINcEss's THKATRE.-Mr. Edwin Forrest ap-
peared in the character of King Lear last evening,
and made decided hit. His Lear is decidedly the
best character we have yet seen him in. Those
contrasts in which he delights, all tell well in the
character ofLear, and they were used with excellent
discrimination and great effect. There was some
thing appalling in the bursts offury with which that
weak-bodied, but intensely -impassioned old man
was occasionally convulsed. The lettering gait the
pelsied head, the feeble footsteps of old age were
admirably given; but the deep voice and manly con-
tour Of the figure showed that the old age of
one who had been, in the heyday Of life, "every

VIZ AsHINGToN CITY DYING EsTAB-

w LlS1MENI.-F. WHEATLEr, OF Geofge-
town, would most respectfully inform the citizens
of Washington and vicinity that he has taken the
stand at the Of llth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, south side, formerly occupied by j. Berk-
ley, where he invites his old customers, and as
many new ones as may be pleased to try his skill IN
the art of dying silk, woollen and cotton goods, and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by a large portion of the citizens of
Washington, in carrying their work to Georgetown,
has induced him. for the convenience ofthe public and
with view to enlarge his business, and by an exhi-
biton of superior work to extend his reputation, to
take stand in the metropolis, where he is prepared
TO receive and execute all Of ladies' and gen.
emen's apparel in superior stile. Shawls of
every material and texture cleansed, bleached, or
dyed, and the border preserved.
He conceives it unnecessary further TO commend
himsclfto the public, as he has long been known
and extensively patronzed from every part Of the
country. He has lately built and fitted up an exton
sive and complete dye-house, and is prepared t0~do
all kinds Of work with despatch and in style not
to be surpassed in this country. He especially calls
the attention of gentlemen to the superior manner in
which coats and pants and gentemens apparel
generally, are DONE The shape and set of the coat
are not in the slightest degree injured and the color
Is warranted to stand and not in the least TO rub.
All kinds Of work will be thankfully received, and
done moderate terms.
N. B.--The present is the best season for cleans
ing and dying curtains and he would call the atten
ton of clearinghouse keepers, tavern-keepcrs, and
others having curtains to cleanse or color, TO the
present, more propitious time than the fall.
The work can he done better in good weather; and
there is less hurry in summer. May 6-dlmA
