engagement the combined forces retreated.
That one one of the scoundrcls has cut arm and
whiskers, and the other a bruised mouth or broken
teeth, is all the description that can be given Of
One moral of our narrative is, that robbers should
not accost men whose arms have been practiced at
welding iron another, that our police should be
particular about this time to arrest every who
can be suspected Of being suspicious character.
The THEATRE.-The work goes brayely on, and
by the tenth of December the building will be com
pleted. II will seat 1880 persons, although ii has
no galleries Of any description. We have been
told that Front Street Theatre, in Baltimore, will
seat but 2.lO0.
The old walls regarded as better than any
fresh ones that could be put up. The only dilapi-
dated portion-a few layers at the top-has been
removed. The roof is admirably constructed, and
Of great strength. The wall receives no lateral
pressure from it; but sustains vertical pressure
that renders it only the more firm and stable.
The floor is upheld by stone masonry-several
walls l6k feet apart, and is inches wide. The
joists upon these inches thick and IL inches
wide, and stand but 10 inches apart. The floor
ing is of 4 inch yellow pine, unlicensed. This,
we think, will suit.
We care little about theatres or spectaces, but
great deal about the safety of fellow citizens;
and we rejoice that due regard is being had to this
MIR. Chopin, the carpenter and architect, is evil
IDENTIFY master of his business, and his employers
have the liberality to accede to his every sugges-
ton relative to the completeness of the wsrk he has
undertaken.
THE BnowN HonsE AaAIN.--Wc spoke in jocu-
lar manner yesterday morning of the theft and the
thief Of the brown horse; but cannot do SO this
morning. William Johnson was then bold, and
confident, and demanded hearing, and we could
laugh at him. Yesterday he was humble, and
chopfallen, and repentant, and we pitied him. He
is but eighteen years old, and, from all we could
understand, was tempted by want into dishonesty.
Whether or not folly and wickedncss had brought
him to want we do not know. 1t leads most persons
TO that condition. He was remanded to prison to
await the requsition of the Governor of Maryland,
und will be tried in Montgomery county at the
next session Of the court.
BALL OF THE GREYs.-This came of on Monday
night. 1t was well attended, gay. sprghty, and
characterized by the most perfect decorum through
out Among the guests were the Mayor of Wash
ington, number Of the members Of the city coun
ellis, and members of military companies from
other cities. They all most cordially received
and Hospitality entertained.
The cotillon band of Messrs Warren & Will
liams discoursed most eloquent music; and We may
notice the peculiar excellence of the cornopean
performer, whose skiful management Of that in
strument elected much praise.
The dancing was kept up until late hour, when
the company retired, delighted with the pleasures
of the evening, and the courtesy and attention of
