WASHINGTON, Oct, q, iS4G.
TIE Circuit Cout was, to-day, engaged with
Ckaacery business, and VIII be, probably, al
this week.
I; is 40 harm 10 he poor, but the condition ;
very inconyenent On Monday, the 18th IN
slant, the Common Council passed an appro.
pr.4tlOn bill; and, the week after, the Alder
men, after le" amendments, gave It their as
sent, and returned 1t to the Board ia which it
originated. Il vas not, however, acted on f.
Baily for What reason we dom, pretend to sav
perhaps Tor want OF time. Some Of the office
holders under the corporation are complaining
that their pay is not forthcoming flour kind
hearted Mayor would only direct the suits
which have originated for violation OF laws, to
be pressed there would no doubt bu a suilic!cn-
ey of funds 10 meet presents demands.
IL Is sald that the President would muster
into service the remainder of the volunteers ap-
PorNoned among the States, + the condition Of
the Treasury would warrant, ani il there were
tacllttie' for providing for their subsistence.
The Northern Liberties market was well
attended this morning. The good citizens are
highly delighted with the new structure. EV-
cry kind OF business in that nelghborhood Is
imposing To one who has not been there for
several months, it looks Ike a new city.
MIR. Carusi is having his saloon handsomely
6tted up for the approaching winter, and seems
determined to make 1t altogether acceptable
10 the lovers of The dance.
Business is remarkably Dull. The autumn
has not revived it. Never mind, we'll have
three months Of busy times when Congress
sonvenes.
The frosts have restored 10 health a large
number who have been shaking with the ChllIs.

The fellow seeing such handsome variety,
and il being cool weather, no doubt thought it
better to cover his nakedness and make gen
tCcl appearance, than 10 wander about in rags
He ought, however, to have obtained MIR.

MR. FoRREsr's SPEECH The following is
report of the speech Of Mr.. Edwin Forrest, at
NE public dinner given to him in New York
last week:
Mr.. President aud Gentlemen:
wish | could in adequate language, express
ny aCkuow ledgment for the distinguished ia
VsTs you have conferred upon me, this day.
But the words which | endeavor to summon
to my lips, seem poor and empty offerings in
return for those honors deep and broad, with
which your kindness loads me. Applause |
The sounds and sights that meet me here, to
bid nae welcome; the old familiar voices that
we're raised in kind approval Of my early efforts;
aees, whose smiles of sweet encouragement
gave vig0r to my heart to mount the ladder of
nag youRs ambition; this muni6cent BANQUET,
spread with no party views; the generous offer
ng cfmy fellow citizens, Of each political faith;
the haitenng sentiments SO eloquently couChed
BY the distinguished man selected TO impart
them; all, oil OF these, have stirred my bosom
With so many mingled thoughts, cannot
c. - words to speak my thanks. [Cheers
A sen like this, is no fleeing pageant OF
de mImic art, to be forgotten with tile hour,
bat ii is to me enc of those sweet realities Of
Ee, that fills the heart and vibrates on the
memory forever. t
Among the gratifying tributes, both profess
sioRal and personal, which you have paid me, {
yea have alluded in hatterng terms, to the si- /
IeRee l have observed when assaied by calum- I
ny, or circumVented by intrigue. You will par I
doa Rs, am sure, if, upon this occasion, a
bTenk that silence for moment, by referring !
70 tae opposition encountered during my late
Fe-aPPearance upon the London stage. An
emlHent English writer, in the North British =
Review, makes these very just remarks sour i,
soSntrymen, IN general, have treated the
Americans unkndy, and unfairly, have been I
too much disposed to e1aggeratc their faults, :
and to depreCiste their excellencies." Here '
Aen We have an honest and candid ayowsl of /
an indisputable TACT. With regard TO my own
ease, even before had appeared, was threat
ened With critical castigation, and some of the
very journals which, upon my former appear
ance in London, appiauded me to the echo, ,
now sssalIed me with bterest denunclations {
Criticism was degraded from its high office
degraded INTO mere cavilhng, accompanied {
by scrs pertinent illusions to PENNSYLVANIA
bonds, Reputation, and Democracy. Laugh {
ter and cheers, :
"All-all but truth, falls stil-born from the I
Press Relying implicitly upon the verify of
this propostsn, q nelly awaited the express ,
son OF the 'sober second thought of the peo-
pie, and am happy to say was not dlsap- ;
pointed IN the result. Loud cheering.) Their ,
approving hands Iebuked the malice of the
Alreling scrbblers, and defeated the machna-
ions OF theatrical ciques, by whom those scrb-
biers were suborned, (Applause.) But enough
OF this. now turn 10 contemplate with pride
asd satisfaction my reception elsewhere In
Edlnburg, the most beautiful and picturesque
city in Europe, where learning is delight, and
act an ostentation, my reception professionally
was gratifying in the extreme, while nothing
could exceed the friendly Inequalities of private
life, presented as they were, by those, " no, to
the highest intellectual culture, unite the
equally estimable qualities of the heart And
as fer Ireland, cloud applause need scarcely
tell you, that in the land of the warm-hearted
lrishman, an American is always at home
(Cheers) There, from the humblest as from
the most exalted man, he finds smile of well
come, and friendly grasp. How could it be
otherwise among the people so full Of sensi-
silty and impulse, of unsefshness and mag
nsnlmty; people, in whom misrule and ty-
ranny, have failed to quench one spark of gen
