ALEXANDRIA, Nov. l, 1854.
The second evening of the .adies' Fair passed off
as pleasantly as the preceding Again Sarepta Hall
was thronged with the beauty and grace of Alexan-
dria, and gadness ruled the light footed hours that
sped away unnoiiced. The ample store of unique
and useful articles attracted many Of the Thong to
view their varied forms of elegance The Ice Cream
saloons were crowded to their utmost capacity with
lovers of that delicious luxury. Peter Pilgrim had
many followers up the steep ascent for the prize.
The old woman with her children in the shoe enter
tanned a numerous company with unusual vivacity,
nor when the gong sounded was the supper table
forgotten by the many who plentitully partOOk of
the viands spread for the occasion. Again from tw-
light to the still midnight hour all in har-
mOny and gorgeOusness.
This morning " all Saints" was celebrated by our
friends of the Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches with the usual religious services. At-tle
former church, Rev. MIR. Nnta, S. j., delivered a
highly interesting discourse appropriate to the day.
We have been requested to enquire On whom de-
wolves the duiy ri rius uH the gas at daylight
NUN the lamps In the market square. Old Sol
catches them burning often.
The services fthe Jubilee, recently pronounced BY
the Catholic Church, will commence in Alexandra
in few weeks. The exercises of the religious re-
treat at st. Mary's Church will be conducted we
learn, by the eloquent Father McEIroy, 8. j., the
Pene RGrignan of America.
The ever spirited citizen soldiers Of the Mount
Vernon Guards are maturing arrangements for fine

Monday next the Circuit Court, Judge Tyler COM

final trial of William Arlington, charged with the
murder OF Michael kiggin will take place. AM.

this as a current report. If appointed, he will be
fully competent to the task, and doubtless give gen.

way interfere with his pastoral labors on Sunday.

Not one word has been said by our Health Com
missioner and City Physician in reference to there
being yellow fever FeIls Point and that region If
such disease exist, it must have been designedly
and studiOusly kept in the archives of secrecy. A
somewhat more than usually severe bilious fever has
existed, and several cases proved fatal.
The money market here is considered somewhat
tighter than it has been for several months Unusu-
ally heavy payments came due recently, and few
goods men especially were unable to meet
them. The bugbear, however, has been much aug
mented. Those who were compelled to stop, tenn
porarily, will, doubtless, resume again. As gen
eral thing, the financial condition Of mercantile
houses is sound-remarkaby So 1t is, notwith-
standing, rather difficult to obtain discounts with
those who are not bank pets. "BEN Bolt"

SPIRIT OF TAG M0RNIse PRESS,

The Inteifigencer says: eff the distant reader
could see all that is going on out West among
the politicians he would be amused as we'll as
surprised at their perplexities. In Michigan
and Illinois, for instance, tho Wing candi-
dates for Congress were first reyiled as Adolf.
tionists, and as being opposed to the right of
the people to regulate their own institutions.
Then, as the canvass advanced, it was urged
that Wing opposition to the Nebraska bill was
opposition to the spread of freedom This
magical measure it was said, would not only
make Kansas and Nebraska Free States, but
would forever destroy the idea of another
Slave State, even IL territory were acquired
to the lsthmus Of Darien. Other grounds as.
sumed by the Democracy are, that the Nebras-
ka bill does not open the Territory to slavery,
that slavery cannot exist without positive law,
and that slavery has never advanced q step
into free territory" .--
The Union, in commenting on the growing
disposition in England and Spain in favor of
letting US have Cuba, says Of the Presidents
position on the question:
"He came into power resolved honorably to
acquire that island, and he believes this duty
to be binding on him still, no matter whether
the question is considered in its relations to
humanity, to commerce, or to freedom While
Spain adheres to that island, and to the miser-
able policy which has disgraced her authority
there, it will be impossible to suppress the &C.
tive sympathy of Thousands in this country
for those who suffer from despotism in sight Of
our shores. The same causes will continue to
annoy our merchants and Our shippers; and
thus Cuba will be no less a magazine of dis
content to Spain than a prete1t for armed ex-
petitions from the United States. 1t is in
view of all these circumstances and others
familiar to the world, that the President, while
sternly enforcing our laws against those
who contemplate illegal expeditions upon
Cuba, has preserved in every honorable expo.
dlent to induce Spain to come to terms on this
issue"
The Sentinel discusses the position of the
the " Silver Gray Wings of New York
