We are happy to notice that Mr.. JENKs
from Boston, distinguished lecturer, is to
give scientific lecture This Evening, at the
Odeon Hall, corner of Al street and the Ave
nue., as will be seen by referring to another
column. We bespeak for him full audience,
as he is an interesting lecturer, and is TO intro
duce, near the close OF his lecture, many Of
the more striking feats of jugglers, and then
captain hoao they are performed. Mr. jerks is
the inventor of the Solarium.
The city is still infested with thieves, who
let no opportunity slip Of exercising their pro-
fesson. Not few hang round the Hall of
Congress. In the House, the moment an ad-
the Hall, mix with the members, and carry
off cloaks, umbrellas, canes, and every thing
else they can lay their hands upon. During
the approaching Fair people would do we'll to
be on their guard, and leave their pocket books
at home.
| The following advertisement appeared in
the Union and Intelligencer of yesterday:
Dc- For TExAs-Those young men OF
| Washington who are disposed to join volun-
teer company TO prosecute the war against
Mexico, and to revenge the wrongs that have
been perpetrated against our country by that
nation, are requested to meet at the City Hall
tomorrow evening, (Fnday, the l5th instant,
at 5 O'Clock, for the purpose Of enrolling them
selves.
1t appears that the rumor SO generally cir
culated on Friday, that the British Minister
had entered protest against the passage of
our army over the Rio Grande is without
foundation. How true it is that falsehood
flies round the world, while truth is putting on
her sandals"
The call forvolunteers met hearty response
from the young men of this District. Hun
dredS are in readiness TO have their names en-
rolled. The question is not "who shall stay
behind" but who shall go. There will be
more than sufficient votes in the affirmative

Yesterday, at the corner Of 18th street,
knot OF mechanics were discussing the rumor
relative TO the protest of Mr.. Pakenham, when
one, blacksmith, said he would make one TO
go and order the British Minister to leave
forthwith.
There is at present surplus OF twelve mil
lions of dollars in the Treasury, being an ex-
cess of two millions over the sum appropriated
for the war;
The French spoliaton bill has been made
the special order of the day in the Senate for
Monday next
CORRESPONDENCE.
How glorious is this invention OF writing, where3
by we can easily communicate to absent friends,
whatever may afford them pleasure or Improvement ~
