The pleasant weather of the last few DAYS
has already had visible effect upon business,
increasing very perceptibly the throng upon
our thoroughfares.
The American Ole Bull, Master Howard
advertises series of concerts here, com.
mcncing on Thursday evening. the 2Sth in

fuse in concentrations of him, and he will no
doubt, attract very respectable audience
The body Of Captain Eugene Lovely, who
was knocked overheard from the deck of his
vessel the latter part of last week has not yet
been recovered.
Among the on dts is quite laughable
affair, which took place few days ago on the
Potomac. 1t appears that some gentleman of
our city, having levied an attachment on n
schooner, and had her carefully chained to
the wharf, left a drunken fellow to keep watch
during the night; but the watchman taking
wv hiuou, ole" uIo"eJ, WueTeupon the owners
of the vessel slowed him away under the
matches, broke the fastenings, and made sail
As soon as the poor Waterman became sufi-
GENTLY sober, they laid him upon the rigging,
gave him severe 1ashing, and then made
him swim to the shore. The vessel and its
crafty Captain have not since been heard of.
Rev. Mr.. Micbael's, the minister in charge
of the Methodist Episcopal Church (South) in
Alexandria. tainted yesterday during morn
ing service, and in consequence the congrega-
ton were dismissed at an hour earlier than
usual. We are glad to learn, however, that
no serious effects are likely to result to the
estimable pastor.
The Steamer Phoenix (the old friend of the
travelling public of the three cites) left here
on Saturday for Baltimore She has been sold
to gentleman of that city for twenty five
hundred dollars, and will be used as a tow
boat upon the Susquehanna.
The repairs to that antique ediice, Christ's
Church, are progressing with dispatch, and it
will no doubt be ready for divine servi.e in
very short time. AMI.
