There was an unusually large congregation in the
Presidents grounds1ast evening" of all ages, sexes
and conditions-hgh and low, rich and poor-no,
not rich--because we all poor, excepting the
Russian minister, who is as rich Cresus, and
John C. Rves who is middling well to do in the
world, and several others but in the main, the
crowd was composed of poor people, though we
stand to the last upon dignity for all that The
Marine Band played the most Indifferent pieces
they could select, but still all hands satisfied.
The President and family remained in the portico
fronting the gardens, and many persons went
up TO bestow upon the Executive house
hold the compliments of the evening. The
band remained till the verge of twilight, when
they returned 10 their quarters, when the people dis
persed. Not long afterwards the President and la
dy, and Master Polk, and tn, of the family,
and the Presidents private Secretary, Mr. j. Knox
Walker, lady, children, and servants evacuated the
| White House, and resumed for week or two their
old quarters, at Colemans Hotel, during the paint
ing, garnishing furnishing, and furnishing Of the
White House. Now would be the time for the Press
ldent and household 10 take that ere excursion to
Piney Point Old Point, Norfolk. and various other
points, making an especial point to call upon Cap
tain Tyler and Mrs. Tyler, at Williamsburg-they
would be so glad to see 'em, you know; and no dam
ger of old Johns behring's running out, for he has
had good season, and has sailed up regular sup
ply. Hurrah .-wouldn't it be pleasant frolIc. No
mistake. For business, the President will have
room, for the interim, in the State department
/ Last evening policeman from Philadelphia, and
one from Baltimore arrived in town. the trail of
the brigands who robbed, few nights since, near
the depot OF charts, Mr. Paine, Of Massachusetts,
Strong hopes are expressed OF the apprehension OF
the skukng rogues. We should be glad to see 'em
on their way to the District Penitentiary.
A few days since, a benevolent lady of this city,
with charitable longing for the reclamation OF the
fallen angels of her sex, OF whom there are seve-
raj in Washington, called upon another lady in re-
ation to proposed Magdalen institution for the
Federal Metropolis. " | call to you, madam, y
sad the Magdaen missionary to her friend, :" about
has just gwen snug lot to the Presbyterians for
church, and we must have one out of him for the
institution for the poor Magdaens don't you think
and we want you to GO and ask nun iGT IT, Mls
Mrs. Dash. ''Oh, because you are SO handsome
so winning, you know: you can talk the old covey
out of it. if any body can, and that's the reason we
monsirated. Mrs. W appealed. Mrs: Dash at
last told Mrs. w she had better wait till next SEES
sion, and then presena petition to the House, not
only for lot but tor building, and tor funds tor
the support of the Magdalens of Washington, if in
deed there are any. g Because" said she, some
half the poor fallen creatures OF our sex in Washing
ton owe their disgrace to the disgraceful members
of Congress, and they know it." Mrs. w. retired,
followed by great hustle We suggest to the Pre-
sdent that he recommend to Congress liberal ap-
preparation for Magdaen Institution in Washing
ton Though apprehensive that very few of the Sis.
ters would repent at first, we are certain, u
carefully guarded by corps Of honest and
ugly duennas that MANY devils would be
cast out in the end. We like the idea
very much, and go strong for the institution. Cha
rity begins at home, and this is a home movement
and deserves consideration We suggest to Gen
until the House Of Reps, rather the House OF Rips
is tried
We shall have to bring up the books tomorrow
Positively the heat orders suspension for this
evening" and the bells invites to a comfortable nap
in the breezy window of the church. Pray for the
sins OF w.
