Local M alters.

Jenny LIsp-W Whatever relates 10 this admired
lady appears TO be of interest TO the public. We
shall therefore chronicle her movements.
Arriving here on Sunday night, che kindly
permitted to repose in peace Except for the de-
lightfu serenade Of military band, at one
o'clock on Monday morning,) until her visit TO the
President and TO the Senate Chamber Mondays
and on Monday night the whole world in Wash
ington and heard her,
On Tuesday she visited at her apartments,
at Wizards, by the President and his family
Messrs. Clay, Webster, Cass, and other distin-
guished persons; and at one O'Clock, p. M, ac-
cepted the invitation of Col John A. Wasbington of
Mount Vernon, and repaired to his home, on board
the steamer Thomas Collyer, escorted by Col. W.,
Mr.. Barnum, Mr.. Belietti, Mr.. Benedict, Col.

Here the whole company surveyed the house of
Washington and his grave, and gathered many
memorials; after which, they sat down to a splen-
did and sumptuous collation., worthy the hospitality
of their generous entertainer In the afternoon, at

will visit the House of Representatives, by invita-
ton of the Speaker and also the Post Office De-
partment, Patent Office, and perhaps other public
places
This evening it will not be difficult to find her,
we presume, at least by those who secure their
seats early. She will have glorious company be-
fore her, and sumptuousy will she entertain them.
POCKET PIcKINo.-When the ii o'clock train ar
rived yesterday from Baltimore, gentleman named
Beers who came on it, attempted to pass out OF the
depot but surprised in the crowd, at finding
another hand than his own in his pocket. The hand
was withdrawn, also was his pocket book, con-
tanning S 30 but not with the owner of the hand,
for Mr.. Beers collared him, and took him TO Justice
Books Office, where justice Dom was in attend
ance. Upon examination, the pocket book could
not be found upon the supposed thief. Whether
any Of his friends had it, could not be ascertained.
He was committed for trial, and the grand jury at
once took cognizance of the case. The accused is
a respectable looking man, about forty five years
old, and calls himself John Wilson.
WAsHINGToN MANUFACTUREs.-We have seen
a most beautiful carriage, manufactured for the
Hon Mr.. Gwin, of California, by Messrs. William
II. Hook & Co., of this city. 1t ia what is called a
Clarence, but with some notifications, which
we consider great improvements. Indeed, there is
much that is new about the plan and style The
workmanship and finish admira BILE the step
that is lowered and raised by the movements of the
door; the cord used to check the driver ia tube,
and the tassel at its end covers mouthpiece.
By means of this continuance directions may be
given in most convenient manner. The curtains
rise up by spring as soon as loosened from the
attachments below These and other desirable i'm
provements render this of the most complete
establishments we have Good taste is
displayed in its construction, and great conve-
nence and security are insured.
Messrs. Hook & Co. young men of our city,
who have been but few months in business. Their
promptness in filling the order Of Mr.. Gwin,
within nine weeks from the time of receiving his
ORDER omens well for their success. Our good
wishes with them and we thank MIR. G., we
do all others who manifest desire to encourage the
manufacturers of our city. Wealso recommend
his example to all of the distinguished men whose
duties bring them to the city of Washington, and
who often have it in their power to aid people
upon whom their patronage will not be undeserv-
eddy bestowed.
