THEATRE.-There was another large au1ience
at the Theatre Wednesday night (notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather. to witness the
performance of Lucrelia Borgia. Mrs. Farrens
representation Of this character was unexcepiion-
able, and the same may be said of Tsylor's imper
sonaton of Gensrre. The effect of the play was
slightly marred, however, by some of the actors
forgetting their parts-a fault which would un.
dou5tedly be remeded on second representation
of the piece. lngomar closed the performances-a
play which has only to be seen to be admired.
An attractive bill is presented, for the benefit of
Mrs. Farren, to night See advertisement

REORGANIZATION OF THE NAVY.

Commodore Stockton presented bis report
and bill FIR this purpose on Tuesday. The
report recommends a retired list as an indis-
pensable requisite to secure efficiency in the
service. II aims blow at that crying sin,
the promotion by seniority alone, without re-
gard to services. BY this rule man who
has spent much the greater part of bis lite on
shore-who has been dancing attendance at
Washington, until he has forgotten how to
distinguish the stern from the bows OF ship
whc has grown grey in criuging 10 the powers
that be, and playing the convenient toady to
the GREATS put over the head OF those true
sons of Neptune, the men who are always at
sea, because the department knows the va lue
of their services. 1t seems to be perfectly
well known at Washington that the Navy is
divided into these two classes. There is a set
Of hardy, daring, skilful seamen, among our
officers, who are the flower and pride of our
Navy-who give it character abroad, and
would do the fighting in tTe OF war. These
men are always at sea. The department
knows their worth If it ishes 10 send a
squadron, or single ship on any distant or
difficult enterprise, it comes down upon them
at once. Theirs is life of continual hardship
and danger.
On the other hand there is another classrthat
never goes to sea, if the department can help
it. Their place is on the land. They are out
of their element when they are on the deck OF
ship. The department never has any need
of their services, and never calls tor them
1t frequently happens, however, that these out
rank, by virtue of seniority, the brave, desery-
ing officer who has been nearly all his life at
sea, and who is frequently worthy to command
a feet. If Commodore Stockton can put these
| kid gloved tars where they ought TO be, ne
| will deserve the thanks Of every man who
| takes any pride in the achievements of our
Navy. They are a distinct class altogether
from the brave veterans who have served their
country until age has rendered them incapable
of serving it any longer.
| Commodore Stockton's reasoning upon the
subject is perfectly just The officers in COM
mand are sometimes called upon to come in
contact with the highest professional skill in
Europe, and to exercise great discretion in
protecting our commercial marine. Ofcourse
the greatest care ought to be taken in selecting
| them.
The report approves of the ranks Of COM
mander, lieutenant commanding and second
lieutenant, but abolshes masters, AMI passed
midshipmen. 1t recommends an increase of
pay for seamen proportioned TO the increa sed
Inducements offered in the merchant service.
1t opens The way to promotion of the sailor
boy and offers rewards for merit, &c. Upon
the whole. we greatly approve of it, and
should like 10 see the larger portion Of its
| suggestions carried out.

BOUND OVER Yesterday morning Geo. Ensbu-
~ was brought before the Mayor on the charge OF
making assault upon the person of James Lyle,
on Wednesday evening last, at the corner of Main
and 18th streets Watchman Reed stated tAat he
saw Ensbury engaged in an alteration with Lyle,
and then slap Lyle in the face. Lyle then ran into
the Arbour, and Reed arrested Ensoury. Mr.. Ems
bury stated that Lyle had in his possession coat
borrowed from him, and that upon demanding it,
Lyle made some Objectionable remark which IL
duced him to slap his (L's) face.
Lyle did not appear to complain and the Mayor,
after stating that he muss go upon the watchman's
statement, unless other testimony was furnished,
bound Ensbury over in the sum of $500. Mr.. E.
said he desired to make the explanation in order
that nc unjust ref ection might be made upon his
conducs, he having always borne good charac.
ter in the community.

LOCAL MATTERS.

Asau.xArrp AssxuLr.-.On the 18th OF last De.
cember, a notorious free negro named AiicK 'scA'
son, entered a small shop, kept By Mrs Ann Bur
ton on Baker street. and according 10 the testimony
of Mrs b. and two other females who were Win
her, commenced acting in a dissrderiy manner
whereupon Mrs B. ordered him out. Aiick refused
to go, picked up glass jar on the counter ana
threatened to ssbreak Mrs B s head" with It, MRS
went into the back room, procured poker, and
told Alick to leave the house or che would MAKE
him doit Aick laid down the jar, and cascning
hold of Mrs B., wrested the poker out of her hands,
striking her twice her arms and hands ne
then threw down the poker and left the house
Shortly after he came back to Mrs BIS again. nav
ing in his hand piece of hoop iron. Two "ni'e
men accompanied him. Alick entered Mrs BIS ana
was again told to leave the house. and she attempted
70 push him out, when Alck struck her TWO or three
lines with the iron. The last blow he struck at
her with the iron, she lodged, and it descending
upon large glass jar, was of so violent charsc-
ter as TO break it into small fragments One OF the
females wao was in the house with her, named
Smith, came to her aid with dish, and the other
ran out of tne house and called for help. Mr. Ray
living above, came TO the rescue, hearing the cry
of murder with steei cane, and upon approaching
Alick who was striking at Mrs b., very properly
threatened to punch hole through Alltk II he did
not discontinue his assault. Alick ceased and Ray
told him he would have him taken TO the cage
One OF the white men ngmei Willis, thereupon
stated that jackson good as Mrs b. ana
threatened to "punch hole in the body OF Ray II ne
touched the negro" Willis further said, that AIlck
had only stopped at Mrs 8 'sto receive some money
which ne had laid down in payment for some
liquor, which money Mrs B. bad refused to returL.
Officer Tyler deposed to seeing marks OF violence
on Mrs BIS arms soon after the difficulty took place;
and further affirmed that ne had visited and ex'
amined Mrs 8 store, and had never seen or heard
| of any liquor on the premises. We have been thus
particular in recording this matter for the evidence
clearly proved most aggravated personal assault
| by bury ferocous negro, upon the person OF
| respectful m dde a. ed woman without any pro-
vocation or justs cation whatever. Th9 Mayor or
| deIed Alick 80 lashes, and required OF him SI0O
security to keep the peace and be OF good 5eha-
vior. Watchmen Granger and Gardner first gave
information to officer Tyler of Jackson's hiding
place, who, on Wednesday evening, after much
trouble and labor, succeeded in arEesdng him.

Correspondence of the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. IL, 1858.
| notice a paragraph going the rounds of
the papers to the effect that Senator Hunter
has positively declined place in Gen. Perce's
Cabinet. This is not so, Mr.. Hunter has not
positively declined post in the CABINET, nor
aciH he do so, except in a certain contingency.
will not name the contingency alluded to,
but the condition upon which his acceptance
of Cabinet appointment 1.-THE Premiership
will be based, is we'll known to his bosom
friends in this city. With the lights before
me, am still impressed with the COW lotion
that Mr.. Hunter will take the State Depart
ment. Certain il is he has not yet declined,
but has the question under advisement. In the
event of his declnation, Gen Gushing, OF Mass,
will probably assume this important trust.
1t is pretty generally conceded, | believe,
that Hon. John A. Dix, Of New York, will go
into the Treasury Department. The latest
bulletin from Madam Rumor names the Hon. P.
Soule, of La, as Attorney General.
The memorial of the members of the Vir-
gnia leg slature TO Congress, praying the repair
and le.c construction of the Long Bridge, was
presented on yesterday by Mr.. Mason. This
move is an excellent one, and trust will have
its due weight; we feel the loss of this bridge
most sensibly in Washington, as almost all
communication with our Fairfax neighbors is
now cut of.
After briefspell of uncommonly fine wealth
err, we are now visited with an old fashioned
northeast storm of wind and rain.
The health OF Hon. VIM. r. King continues
very precarious. This was the day fixed up
on for his departure for Cuba. The extreme
inclemency of the weather, however, imagine,
will induce postponement Of the trip.
The "Nicaragua Treaty" question occupies
the attention OF Senators TO the exclusion OF
almost every other matter. HENRico.
