CAL NATTER /.

The HorELs During the coming season ths
| many strangers who will flock hither for business
and pleasure will probably be better entertained
| atour hotels than at any former period, judging
from the activity on the premiscs, with view I,
the comfort of the expected guests. The session d
Congress, the national fair under the auspices Of
the Metropolitan Mechanics Institute, and the in
coming of new administration. will be the prin-
cipal attractions, and concentra from every por
ton Of the widely extended Union persons of all
ranks and conditions. There Ia no question that
we will have an unusually interesting as we'll az
gay season. ~ 5r.T .t f
The NATIONAL HorEL, under the manage.
ment OF Mr. NJ. A. Dexter, with the obi ging Fair
banks as one of his assistants, is well known to
travellers as possessing all the accommod ations
which the most luxurious could desire, with prompt
and polite employee. The buildings were consid-
erably enlarged year ago, and now the enter
prising proprietors are engaged in making the
National, II possible, more attractive and com
Portable than ever. ..
BRowN's HOTEL 10 also undergoing further i'm
prOvements. II is deservedly popular under its
efficient management, aud therefore enjoys repu-
tation second to no other similar establishment in
the country. We notice that gentleman's read 4.
ing room and adjoining parIor are being fitted up
on the lower floor west of the main entrance, the
former fronting on Pennsylvania avenue. The
Messrs Brown are now receiving costly and splen-
did rosewood furniture, the general finish and
patterns Of which have never been surpassed in
this District. ,'l. -.. ..n.N.am ..'.H .
WILLARD's HOTEL, under the proprietorship of
Mr.. Henry A. Willard, stands in the first rank OF
such establishments. Here, likewise, the spirit
of improvement is remarkably active, and :com
fort" seems to be the motto which directs the ope
rations, The accomplished and popular Major
Field ia here to that every thing goes right,
that his subordinates obey the calls of duty.
Beside these hotels, Gadsby's. the Irving, the
United States, and others, are not inactive,
and are "brushing. up" for the winter campaign.
Private boarding houses are many, and the num-
Der continues TO increase. .
From the indications around us, we repeat, the
travelling community will have no occasion to
complain Of the boarding accommodations during
the season upon which we are all about to enter.
:. LADIEs' UNION BENEVOLENT AND EMPLOYMENT
SocIEry.-The fourteenth annual meeting will be
held this evening, in the First Presbyterian
Church, Four and half street, commencing at
halEpast seven O'Clock. Addresses setting forth the
character and design OF this society, and its claims
to the support and confidence of the community
will be delivered. II 10 earnestly hoped that all
who feel an interest in ils prosperity will be pre-
sent. ....-.
The ladies are engaged in Christian enterprise;
and, in view of the suffering which the rigor OF
winter ever produces, they are moved by the gym
pathy which characterizes their sex to make early
provision to relieve the necessities of the deserving
poor in our midst, isolated as they from the
profuse comforts which fill 80 many dwellings,.
We cannot for a moment believe that the benevo.
lent generally will fail to respond to this call of
love and duty. .., .
THE LATE RIoT.-A young man, charged with
being concerned in the fire riot on Sunday morning
in the first ward, who arrested by officer at
the time, but Immediately rescued by his compan-
ions, has been recaptured by the police, and his
case will be examined into this afternoon. 1t would
be extremely gratifying to the lovers Of good order
generally ifall the participants in the disgracefu
proceedings could be brought to punishment.
NATIONAL THEATnE-Miss Caroline Richings.-
The unusual evidences of rare natural musical
ability, joined TO rigid and thorough cultivation,
80 effectively demonstrated by the performance of
this gifted vocalist last night, achieved for her
decided triumph, and no one can now hesitate on
the plea of Impractical youthfulness in awarding
to her high position as an American lyric artist
Her conception of the part Of Linda was forcible
and chaste.. Her execution of the music was
marked by the same style and information Of which
her admirers in Philadelphia have spoken. Tine
liquid clearness and pure harmony Of her style
gave to her delivery the advantage Of sweetness
and melody
She was throughout the play sustained by the
moet enthusiastic applause.
To night che will repeat the part of Linda.
