LOCAL MATTERS.

IMPRovEMENrs.-Among the many improve
ments now in rapid progress throughout the city,
glad to notice that the large three-story
brick building at the south east corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, the property of
Mr.. C. l.. Coltman, and formerly occupied by
Haslup Weeden coach and blacksmith.
ing establishment, has been leased by gentle
man of Alexandria for chair and furniture ware
house and mandatory; and that that branch of
industry will soon be vigorously prosecuted there
in. The building has undergone thorough repair
and reftting, prior to the commencement of the
enterprise.
PAvING.-C street, between 9th and 7th streets,
in the of Browns Hotel, has been re- graded
and prepared for the laying of paving stones, SINH
lar 10 those on Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street.
This improvement has long been needed on that
part Of street especially, and the proprietors of
property bordering thereon have but consulted
their own interest in directing this work to be done
The CASAL.-We are pleased to learn that the
heavy rains Of Tuesday and Wednesday last have
done but little damage to the work now in progress
of cleaning the Washington canal.
HARRINGToS's ErmoPIANs.-This is the Last night
but one of these delightful serenaders, in which
they appear in the grand burlesque opera Of
" Beau he mans Gal" The songs in the opera, Of
" Marble halls" and May those bright eyes, are
inimitably fine and draw out loud applause. We
advise all TO go and hear them.
MILTTARY.-We learn that the lately organized
volunteer company in Georgetown, under the com
mand Of Captain Cruikshank, and calling them
selves the "Gcorgetown Light Guard, }" having re-
ceived their arms, &c, will make their first parade
in uniform ON the 18th instant, (the anniversary of
the surrender at Yorktown,) on which occasion
they will pay our citizen soldiery visit.
The Walker SharpshooterS, Captain Bryant, Of
this city, will also parade the 10Th instant, and
will partake Of a collation. the occasion, TO
whish they have invited, their guests that old
established company, the Washington Light In
fantry, Captain Tate.
DWELLING HoUsEs.-The scarcity Of dwelling.
houses between II street and Pennsylvania avenue,
for rent previously noted, still continues, and daily
inquiries are made for suitable houses Holders Of
vacant lots, possessed Of means, could MAKE no
better investment of their capital than 10y the
ton Of small convenient structures for renting,
which will speedily command good tenants and
q liberal interest upon the money so invested.

The DEMocRATIc CoNvENTIoN.-On of the most
melancholy exhibitions that we have ever wit
messed came off last evening, in the splendid ball
room of the st. Louis Exchange. The assembled
cro,od (ffty eight, all told) was the great Demo-
cratic convention, which met for the purpose of
nominating candidates to represent the party in
the next State Senate and the House of Representa-
tves After much pickering and no little indig-
nant talk the crowd came to the conclusion to
nominate Messrs. Julius Beebe, Charles F. Dunois,
and w. Dunbar, candidates for State Senators,
and to leave the selection of candidates for the
House to the decision Of the several districts The
question of a nomination of a sheriff was brought
up, but voted down, the ayes being 81 noes 81.

squay at present, for the progressive democracy
