during the winter and. smeas other entertain
msrss, we had the following, which were o.
psated this evening, to wit t.
The Greek Slave, of Powers;
DR.. Boynton's admirable Lectures
The Adelphi--the Olympic.
The Model Artists Of DR.. Collyer, which are
certainly the most fascinating representations OF
the great works of the great masters IN sculpture
ard in painting that have ever been exhi5ued on
this continent They were beautiful and chaste,
graceful and elegant, truthful, poetical, and
charming They s1sp a ou Io"ss and
these groups are more interesting than the works
Of the old masters themseve FIR they are alive,
aud true, and natural In all tn figures, and give
us the real substance in the place Of the shadows,
which had lo1g ago so learned to admire.
On thing is certain; DR. Collver has hit upon
successful idea in these exhibitions, and is on
tn high road ct su -cessfui experiment
There was also tonight, a hop at Coleman
hotel, where, We beg leave to submit, that an
hour or two were appropriated by this deponent,
with pleasure as A locker on among the tncers,
aud as an active participant 81 the attractive sup
per spread out in the long room. Quite large
proportion of members OF the two houses were
present, and conspicuous among them, were
Messrs. Greene, AthertOn, Ashley, and others,
of the Senate, and Messrs. Winthrop, Went
worth, Morse, of La, Richardson, of Ills, Bow
lin, Of Mo, Hunt and Murphy, of N. Y, and
others of the House. There were also present;
Hunt, U: S. A., Colonel Burnett, of the New
York Volunteers, (who received much attention
from the company Mr. Jeavey, Postmaster Of
Lowell, Mr.. B. F. Hallett, Mr.. Renwick, Smith
sonian architect, and others There was a
choice collection of ladies, and some very beau
tlful ones among them but we shall not give one
single name, for fear OF injustice to the rest We
like them all too we'll to do injustice to any of
them; and when we say that we will challenge
Senator Greene to admire the whole sex more
.haa we do. we have said enough for our own
justification.
The hotel is now under the management of
Mr. Blackwell, as the successor Of Coleman, and
these social hops in tho course of the winter,
are feature of the house that promises to be as
well sustained as the house itself We expect our
landlords at the United States will have some
thing of the kind before Mr.. Clay leaves the
house, in honor of Harry of the West; and if
they do, We shall have a grand affair, for a very
large proportion of the ladies' of Washington are
CLAW men.
We hear this evening no more rumors of peace,
from which it is reasonable to infer that the
War Is still existing by. the act of Mexico, or
rather from the faulty of Mexico in refusing to
act Respectfully, THE DoCroR.

Duel Ended in Smoke-La,oyers' Quarrels as
Easily Settled as Lousrs'--A DisgracefM If
fair-Separating Man and W1e-Ths Crime
of Notwithstanding Dcah-Acquittai Of Ohio
Oiicer, &c.
The anticipated due between the Hon Rever-
dy Johnson and Henry ]. Brent, Esq, has all
ended in smoke, which, by the way, is the mode
that such difficulties between lawyers are gene
rally settled. They quarrel for the purpose of
satisfying their clients as to the interest they
take in the peculiar case under consideration,
and the matter being perfectly understood be-
tween them, they leave town for few days, and
return perfectly reconciled, and better friends
than ever, During yesterday the city was full Of
rumors to the effect that Mr.. Johnson had been
shot through the head, but the evening train from
Annapolis announced that he had been engaged
all day III arranging an Important case IN the
Appeal Court
Qlite an excitement has existed in the west m
part Of the CITY, tor the past week, on account Of
the marriage, some time since, OF DR.. +. 5
G-r, to a young, beautiful and respectable girl
named Josephine B., whose only fault is that
of being poor. The husband, though poor also,
has connections standing high IN society, and
high in the church. The relatives are all highly
indignant that the young doctor should have thus
thrown himself away, and since the rejection,by
the young wife, OF an offer OF $4,000 to desert her
husband, the latter has been prevailed on to de-
sert his wife, and is about leaving for tour of
Europe, under the patronage OF his right reve-
rend uncle. Such conduct this on the part of
those who set themselves up as "leaders in Is
real,' Is enough to bring into dsrespect all who
profess the holy calling. Indeed, the events OF
the pasfiy eann this city, have disclosed some sad
instances of " wolves in Sleeps clothing" aud
our jail now holds man, who, up to his convic.
ton of enormous frauds, was class leader, and
possessed specification in the Method Protes-
tant Church The devil is evidently striving for
the possession of the pulpit.
A young man named ohm B. Easter, clerk
in the locomotive mandatory of Mr. Ross WI
mans, was accidentally killed yesterday whilst
assisting to try new locomotive. The couple
ing of the engine end tenders broke, and
he fell between the two, the tender passing over
and crushing him.
Ohio Oliver, the colored man, on trial for per-
suadlng the slaves Of John Glenn, Esq 10 abb
scond, was yesterday acquitted. The evidence
against him exhibited malice on the part Of the
slaves WHO accused him, and the jury promptly
acquitted him.
