The NATIONAL TBEATRE.-A number Of our en-
terprisng citizens feeling the want Of good Theatre
for the proper presentation of the Drama for the
amusement and qualification Of sojourners and visi
tors to the Metropolis, have taken the matter in
hand, and arrangements in active progress for
the rebuilding Of the National Theatre, adjoining
the Union Office, which was destroyed by fire in
1845, so as to have il ready for dramatic perform
ances by the ensuing winter. Several meetings
have been held on the subject reports the proba
BILE cost made, and committees appointed to procure
subscribers for the stock which will be issued in
500 shares-the stockholders to have no further
privileges than the receipt Of the dividends upon
the stock. A survey and valuation Of the walls and
ground upon which the old building stands, were
made on Wednesday by Messrs. John c. Hank
ness and George III. Plant, who were selected as
appraisers by the committee and B. o. Tayloe, esq,
the of the property and the value thereof set
down at $500. We trust the undertaking may be
carried to a successful termination.
CENTRE MARKET.--This market was abundantly
supplied with fruit vegetables, &C.. Of every variety,
on yesterday morning, though no great demand
exists for such articles in our city during the pre-
sent scason. We noticed several lots Of new po-
tatoes, which were selling at the very moderate
price Of IS per bushe; while those of last years
growth were not TO be found at any price. Peas
brought readily so cents per bushel, and strawber-
ries from l2 to l6 cents quart
P'cmcs.--Our young folks think this ought to
be the season for these pleasant parties and are de-
terminsd to enjoy, notwithstanding the GOODNESS
and unpleasant state Of the weather for the past few
days, picnic any how. Two of them came off,
we learn, on Wednesday evening-one at the far
famed Arlington spring. by the children attached to
Of our Sunday schools and the other at Faviers
garden in the northern portion of the First ward,
beautiful place, where a large number of ladies'
and gentlemen picnicked during the afternoon, and
at night enjoyed themselves in the dance, in build
ing erected by the proprietor for such purposes.

WARS IN NAME''' PEBBLES not long since
rushed into the Office of Squire Rivers and hastily
directed deed of real estate to be drafted.
"To whom is the estate to be conveyed"' in
quired the Squire.
ITO George Bitters," replied PEBBLES.
"Bitters, Bitters-a singular name; are you sure
you have it rghti isn't it Buffers, or Belts"
'No! it is Bitters and nothing else"
And PEBBLES vanished like sky-rocket.
The deed was duly drawn up, and running
throughout appeared the "said George Bitters, "
&c. with all the legal repetition usual in such cases.
Next day the purchaser called for his deed.
What's all this" exclaimed he, on casting
his eyes over the instrument; "George Bitters who
is he y"
Your name, sir, imagine" responded the
Squire.
"My name, no such thing, sir; my name. is not
'Bitters, it is Sio,tghton; George Sioughion"
On being informed of the mistake, PEBBLES very
quietly remarked, that if "Stoughton" and "Bit-
ters" were not synonymous words, he didn't UNI
