crowds wheresover they perform. They never

contrivances. uH
This is the company, who some months ago
while in New Orleans, positively refused to give
entertainments on Sabbath nights, when places Of
amusements are open in that city with greater
pccunary profit than at any other time. We
would advise those who think that il is a sin to
laugh, not TO visit the National Theatre during the
performances Of the Nightingalcs.

John T. Crandell, who was killed on We'd
nesday, by the accidental discharge of his gun,
was buried yesterday afternoon. This youth was
in the eighteenth year of his age, and loved for
bis amiability and intelligence. A large number
Of the friends Of the family attended the funeral,
in hacks and private carriages and the long line
of vehicles was preceded by the Sect Guards, a
military company of youths, accompanied by a
band of music, to the solemn notes of which they
marched, with measured step, TO the place Of in
termen. The death Of their fellow member, so
sudden, and while he was in the enjoyment of
health, and in the pursuit Of pleasure, was well
calculated TO affect deeply the hearts OF his former
companions, and excite general regret in the
community, that one so promising and esteemed
should thus early pass away from the attractive
scenes of life, with all his youthful anticpations
of bright and unclouded future.

Battle of Bladensburg.-For,y years age

Battle of Bladensburg.-Forty years ago
yesterday, was fought the battle of Bladensburg
Maryland. The British, on that occasion, from
the vast superiority of their numbers, were vic
torious; but their loss in killed and wounded was
two hundred and forty-nine, while that of the
Americans was but eighty. The British entered
the city Of Washington, at eight o'clock in the
evening. The troops of General Ross burnt not
only the Capitol, which was in an unfinished
staie but its extensive library, records, and other
collections, appertainiug not TO war, but to peace
and civilization. The public Offices and the Pre-
sidents house were wantonly sacrificed, together
with many private dwellings the loss amounting
to one million Of dollars These same British
however, were signally defeated on the twelfth OF
September, lsl4, when they made desperate
attempt to capture the city of Baltimore. 1t was
during the bombardment, that Francis S. Key
wrote the soul-strring patriotic song of the Star
Spangled Banner

Stolen Child Recovered.-We find the fol-
lowing in the Newark Mercury:


Some two years since, little girl about eight,
years of age was stolen from her parents in New
York, and effectually concealed were the ar
fragments Of the abductors that all efforts to re-
claim the missing child proved aborive. Recently,
however suspicion was excited that the girl had
been stolen by parties in this city, who were bring,
ing her up as their own; and accordingly, in COM
pany with friend, the mother yesterday came
hither, and commenced search for the lost one,
having first obtained the aid of male friend, well
acquainted with the circumstances. The first
thing 10 be discovered was the residence of the
supposed kidneppers, and this, after patient and
protracted search and inquiry, being found out,
the mother al once proceeded TO the premises, aud
knocking at the door il was opened by her own
daughter, between whom and the mother there
was a mutual recognition.
The woman of the house, however, persisted in
claiming the child as hers, and thre alened summary
vengence upon any who would attempt to remove
her. But the mother, strong in right, was not 10
be inundated by threats ; and, accordingly, TAX
ing her daughter by the hand, hurried her to the
Market street depot, Jumped in the cars, and a
moment after was beyond pursuit.
The man and woman with whom the girl has
been living reside in Prospect street, and the
former has heretofore borne fair reputation, be-
ing foreman in one of the largest manufactu ring
establishments in the city. Both are said TO have
been furious AT the discovery of their vainy the
girl, howe yer, overjoyed at their discontinue,
and accompanied her mother with eager pleasure.

Wretch Arrested.-During the month of
March last, one Granville F. Shelby, day policeman
of Cincinnati, was arrested in that city, for the re-
voting crime of incest-the victim being his own
daughter Shelby made his escape from prison,
after brief incarceration; since which time, no
tidings of his whereabouts could be obtained until
recently About three weeks since, officer Boy
ington, of Buffalo, received letter from officer
Bruen, OF Cincinnati, saying that Shelby was sup
posed TO be at Niagara Falls, describing his APP
pearance, and requesting that he Officer Bruen)
would look him up Since then, Boyington has
made frequent trips 10 the falls, finding at length,
that Shelby was stopping on the Canada side, under
the name Of s. s. s. Gardiner. He had some difficult
ly,however in settling upon the right man. as there
were two together, fprobably brothers,) each an.
swering the description He therefore teegraphed
TO Bruen asking him 10 come on and identify the
rascal. Bruen, in company with Officer Manni-
son. Of Cincinnati, came on directly, and the for
mer accompanied Boyngton TO the Falls on Sat
urday. Arriving al the depot, Boyington espied
one of the Dromios sitting upon the outside seat
Of an omnibus, and, pointing him out TO Bruen,
was told that was the very man. Boyington
s,raightway arrested him, when he put on an in
jured air, and began 10 plead his innocence; but
seeing Bruen, he instantly gave up. He was
brought here on Saturday, and taken 10 Cincin.

scene In COurt-Immense Excitement
On Monday evening an amusing though rather
pointed passage-al-arms took place between Re-
corder Summers and Counselor Field, when the
case OF the fair but irail Jennie Gleason was on
the tdpss, and when the case was closed, and the
| recorder simply fined the accused, the counsellor
protested against the ACT as an outrage on public
justice. Having slept over the matter, the re-
cofder took his seat on the following morning.
yesterday and the counselor took spirtul con-
ISOLATION. Eventually the counselor took il into
his head 10 go before the recorder and when there
he asked permission 10 make a motion. Leave be-
ing granted, he launched out into running CON-
meniary on what he was pleased TO consider the
recorders illegal act of the previous evening,
whereuPon the recorder told him 10 hold onn
And SO the counselor did hold on, in a sense diff
ferent, however, from that Intended by the re-
corder This brought the blood TO the recorders
face, and The ire TO his bile, and bringing his
knuckles down hard on the desk before him, he
ordered the counselor 10 be committed to prison
for twenty -four hours, for contempt OF court.
The counselor here observed that, since the pre-
sent recorder had been presiding, the court had
generally been considered legitimate object of
contempt; and then. shaking his finger at the re-
corder, he said, "while clothed in your little brief
authority you may play after this fashion your fan
tastic tricks, but the time will come when shall
meet you on equal terms, and then | shall have
my revenge, for consider you to be nothing but
did Jackass." .@
At this juncture the recorder abruptly adjourned
the court, and springing from his ministerial tr-
pod, appeared determined 10 visit the portly
counselor with touch Of the Les Ialionis.
The counselor, observing the rapid movement,
said: I'm ready for you, but if you dare TO lay a
hand on me I'll kill you as dead as hi !" drawing,
at the same time, from under his vest as pretty a
bulldog" as ever drove piece of cold lead
through fellows bread basket.
The police here interposed; the recorder re.
turned TO his seat, and the counselor was con-
veyed TO prison to purge himself of his contempt.

Patent Ofice.-The great exhibition hall OF
inventors, in the east wing ofthe Patent Office, il
two hundred and sixty-eght feet long, and sixty
eight feet wide, and a magnificent one il is, with
tbs chaste marble pillars and pilasters, and the
groined ceilings, which, together with the walls,
are handsomely ornamented with frescoes, so
closely in imitation Of moudngs that no one, at a
glance, would suppose that they were not really
bas-relief II must be sharp eye indeed to dis
cover the artistic trick.
The removal OF the models from the main build
ing has been commenced, and already some of
the cases are filed with miniature machines, the
woodwork of which has been vanished, and the
iron deprived of its rust and dust, when this i'm
provement was necessary.
There are two tiers of cases, the upper 10 be
approached by stairway, guarded on the sides
looking over into the main aisle, by lightly con-
structed but secure iron railing. The models will
here show TO much better advantage than in the
room which has heretofore been appropriated TO
that purpose.
The inventors OF the country should, in common
with the public at large, look upon their new hall
and its future contents, with PRIDE i is but just
that those who, by their genius and perseverance,
have done SO much to benefit mankind should
have grand hall, such as this, in which to display
the products Of their inve ntive skill.
National Gallery.-Among the recent contri-
buttons 10 the collections Of the National Gallery,
in the Patent Office building, are specimens of ma
ional history, by c. w. Denson, United States con-
sui to Demarara, British Guinea, South America.
These comprise the scarlet ibis and the crane
two stands Of very beautiful brds-some of them
extremely rare; and among them we particularly
noticed the lovely plumaged queen, and the fe-
male amethyst, and the king humming bird Here,
too, may be seen the squirrel, and two different
kinds of monkeys--the hooraway and the sauky-
wink-and the venomous buskmaster snake, the
fangs of which are prominent and nearly an inch
in length. In this collection are specimens of
fossil rosin, dyesufs, asphaltum, sarsaparilla, the
bark Of a tree admirably adapted to paper-making,
and fine grass hemp Of great strength. This is
valuable contribution TO the large variety of OBJ
jects of historic interest in that always attractive
gallery. ~
The premises have recently been thoroughly
cleaned by means of SOAP water, and broom but
the pant-brush is much needed, the massive
columns and the other parts Of the architecture
having yellowsh instead of snowy aspect.
The collection of the gallery was, by late law
Of Congress, placed under the charge Of the Com.
missioner of Patents, who has, we learn, already
directed such Improvements to be made as will
tend to the comfort and convenience Of the Wis.
tiers
