The usual nocturnal quietness of our city
was disturbed about midnight on Saturday,
by regular set-to at the corner of King and
Washington streets The row arose out of q
difficulty between two young men, but soon
became general. Sticks, knives, and bricks,
were freely used, and rumor has stabbed one
young man and otherwise severely wounded
several others. The watch were soon upon the
ground, and, it is said, made several arrests.
The noise of the riot created an alarm of fire,
and several pieces of apparatus hurried to the
scene of action, and-A~rried back.
The fowery parterres, shaded walks, and
cool arbors, of Yeates' Garden, its commodious

We yesterday paid a visit to that beautiful
ated about twelve miles from this city. The
hills adjacent are high and rugged. overlook
ing the shore, where stands the pavilion dedi-
Gated to the varied delights of the pleasure
seeking members of the human family. The
steep hills, when once assembled. afford a very
fine view of the well-cultivated farms Of our
neighbors of Charles county on the opposite
side of the river, whose bosom is studded with
the white sails of many a trim little craft
The surrounding woods stand out in bold re-
lief, having many deep recess where Echo
mockingly dwells. If Dame Nature has O.
home of scenic grandeur, it certainly is amid
these wild old woods. An interest is attached
to this place, which has made it place of re-
sort. The British, during the last war with
this country, were met at this point by few
brave Americans, who harassed them by so
well-directed and determined fire, that John
Bull prudently hauled off in time to save their
fair proportions. The trees to this day bear
the marks of the Englishmen.
Last evening, Liberty Hall was crowded to
witness the performances of the Dramatic As
ISOLATION from Georgetown. A shower of rain
came down like an avalanche before the close
of the exhibition, and pedestrians had bad
time getting home.
An attempt was made on Saturday night to
fire the lumber yard of Mr.. Waters. The fire
was communicated to a large pile of shingles;
but our active fremen were promptly on the
spot, and succeeded in subduing the flames
with but little damage. This is not the first
attempt of band of incendi aries to burn our
lumber yards.
The business of the Alexandria county court
commenced yesterday. Mr.. Charles Stewart,
attorney addressed the grand jury for a con-
siderable length. Several indictments were
found against parties. The court adjourned
at two o'clock.
At the coal yard of Mr. EaSton, near Fish
town, large mass of coal has been burning
for several weeks, caused by spontaneous com
bustion The authorities have ordered it to
he taken away, as there seems to be no way
of putting out the fire.
| We are to have a boat race next Saturday
/ preparations are now being made by those
/ having the matter in contemplation. The
regetta doubtless will be witnessed by many
/ fond of such sport.
We understand the Odd Fellows have ap-
pointed q committee to take the necessary
