Mr.. Fletcher worthy old gentleman, whose
home is near Espy's ship-yard, in the First
Ward of your city, but who is well known in
Georgetown, was so badly injured by the acct

feared he cannot survive.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.-0ur town was all agog
yesterday afternoon to see the young lady who
the beautiful Turkish costume. She was the
admired of all admirers. Old men and matrons,
young men and maidens, and even the children,
rushed to the streets to get peep at the rich
and appropriate dress; and | have no doubt
that all rejoiced that one step at least had been
taken to establish the rights of woman. But
am sorry to hear that some youths behaved very
rudely while she was on First street. Oh fe
boys, you ought to be taken home to the nur-
sery, and compelled to wear frocks until you
learn better manners.
All are preparing for proper celebration Of
the Fourth. Some are going to the Capitol to
see the cornerstone laid some are going to
the Monument, to see the block of marble pre-
sented; some to the Great Falls some to John
H. Kings; some to r. Barnards; some to
Rockville; and a company of gentlemen have
taken time by the forelock, and left this morn
ing in the schooner Gazelle, Captain Ellis, to
spend the Fourth on fishing excursion down
the river.
The -four and grain market remains un-
changed. There was sale yesterday of three
