LAUNCH OF THE STEAMSHIP CRESCENT City
The splendid steamship Crescent City will be
launched tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, from
the yard of w. II. Brown, Esq, near the Novel
ty Works. She was built under the direction of
Isaac Newton, Esq, and is certainly, as regards
strength and beauty of model, one of the finest
yet constructed. She is 1910 tons burhen, and
is the first of the Peoples line OF regular steam
ships between New York and New Orleans.
The engines are of great power, and are build
ing by Messrs. Secor s. Co. She will be COM
handed by Capt. Charles Stoddard, late of the
Havre packet Vile de Lyon. The agents in this
city are Messrs, Howard & Son, and Mcsgrs, ]
y Whitney h Co, ci New 0rleans,

STREET OUTRAeEs-INEFFIcIENcY OF THE PO-
LIcK-We have heard of some very highland
ed outrages perperated on respectable females
in the streets of this city, and in the broad day
light, too, which reflect nothing but disgrace on
the organization of the police department. A
few weeks ago one of those outrages was per-
petrated in the neighborhood of st. Johns Park;
and good deal of noise was created in conse-
quence, in the newspapers. Within the lastfew
days, we learn from good authority, that SINH
lar and even a worse outrage was attempted to
be committed on the person of highly respect
able lady, in the broad daylight, in the middle
of the afternoon, in one Of those streets st.
Johns Park, which are generally frequented,
when frequented at all, by doubtful characters.
The police department fths city costs our inhab-
itants upwards of five hundred thousand dollars
annually; and yet there are more outrages, more
robberes, and more vallanies committed, than
could be presented by any other city of its mag
nitude throughout the world. We have more to
say on this matter.

THEATRES, AND so FoRTH.-The three "dollar
theatres" the Park, the Broadway and the Astor,
presented very fair houses last night. The con-
test has begun; but how it will end few can tell.
A new candidate, however, it seems, is coming
forward to vie with them. Palmos Opera House
has been taken by Madame Augusta, who pro-
poses to give ballots, accompanied with German
vaudevilles and comedy. This is the debut of
Madame Augusta as managress, and if she dis
plays the sane grace and beauty, and talent, as
managress of theatre, which she has hitherto
done IN her profession, she certainly will become
powerful antagonist to the other three fashion
able theatres. There's Taglioni, Carotta Grisi,
Cerito, and Fanny Elssler, the four greatest dan
GERS in Europe, each great in a certain line, bat
two of them now in state of decay, and the
other standing stll-for, IN fact, Cerito is the
|, only great dancer now in Europe. Now, as re-
CARDS beauty of person, and grace Of execution,
exquisite symmetry of form and movements,
Madame Augusta can compare with any of these
celebrated artists, all of whom we have frequent
ly seen. Palmo's theatre, under its new regime,
therefore, will come into the field of competition
among the dollar theatres, with powerful pres
tige of success. She opens tonight

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MON
UMENT.

SAMUEL w. PEARSON, Esq, OF our
borough, has been appointed Agent of the
Washington Monument Association for
Somerset County, and will ere long call
upon our citizens to procure subscriptions
to aid in the erection of this noble Ma
tional enterprise. Mr.. Pearson is a gen.
tleman peculiarly fitted for the discharge
Of the duties confded 10 him, and will
doubtless succeed to the full extent of the
anlicipations Of the Association.
For the information of the public we
may state, that the project Of erecting a
monument 10 the Memory Of WASHING
ToN was started many years since. and
that at one time, some ten years ago. the
sum of $4,000 was raised by subscriP-
ton; but being inadequate to the accom-
plishment OF the object, it was invested
in stocks and at this time amounts to a.
bout $50, 600.
The monuments 10 be a circular colo
made, $50 feet in diameter and 100 feet
high, mounted by an obelisk Of 20 feet
al the base and 500 feet high, making a.
together 600 feet in height.
The present officers Of the Association
are: James X. Polk, ex-officio Presidcnt;
William Brent, Esq; the Mayor of Wash
mgton, Mr.. Whiitlesey, and Gen. A.
Henderson, Vice Presidents; ]. B. FL.
Smith, Treasurer; George Watterson,
Secretary; Gen. w. Scott, Gen. N. Tow
son, Col. ]. J. Albert, COL ]. Kearney.
Gen. w. Jones, Thomas Casbery, Peter
Force, w. A. Bradley, P. r. Kendall,
John p Ingle and Thomas Munroe, Ma
nagers.

OUR PROSPECTS.

We have intelligence from all parts OF
the State, which warrants us in saving
that the prospects Of the Wing and Anti
masonic party were never more cheering
than they are at the present time. This
is owing, in the first place, to the unani-
nifty Of sentiment which peryades IFS
ranks, both in regard TO measures and in
regard TO its candidates; and secondly, to
the knowledge which the Wings and An
timasons of the State have Of the MoDus
oPERANDI Of their political opponents
The swindle which was perpetraled upon
Pennsylvania in 1874 by means of the
"Kane letter" is vet fresh in their memo
~; and they are therefore on the ''look
out" for similar tricks from the wire
workers of the same party, in the present
contest. They are aware that those
"chaps" are never very scrupulous about
She use of means, provided they suit their
ends; that they lay their plans MAsoNI-
cALLY and carry them out either BOLDLY
or sNEAKINGLY, as circumstances seem
