The MAREEr.-It was truly gratifying to see
the bounteous supplies Of both the animal and
vegetable kingdom, which was displayed this morn
ing during our stroll through the market. Plenty
Thanks TO q benign Providence) was displayed on
every side, and the prices asked for vegetables,
fruits, &c. was, we thought, reasonable enough,
taking into consideration the demand for them,
and the great ayidity displayed by purchasers to
possess ss many Of the good things as possible.
The markethouse has of late become quite
popular place OF resort as morning promenade
for both sexes and it only requires walk through
it for few moments to impress any one with a
longsince acknowledged fact that the ladies Of our
city are not only the smartest housewives but the
prettiest creatures in the States " out shopping
SALES TO COME DRIVE would call the atten-
ton Of our numerous readers, and purchasers Of
real estate particularly to the sales of various lots
houses &C., &C. as advertised in another column by
Messrs Barnard Buckley, G. w. Boteler, and Green
Scott 1t will be seen that these firms offer rare
and valuable property for sale nearly every day in
the week.
ARRIvED.--The circus arrived this morn ing, the
procession Of wagons paraphernalia, &C., being
headed by fine band Of music. 1t remains here
five days, 30 that all.who fond Of such arause-
nent, can crafty themselves to their hearts con-
tent.
FIRE-The cry OF fire resounded through our
streets, between five and six o'clock last eve.
ming, and soon our 6remen, with their engines an !
apparatus, were hurrying towards the spot from
whence the smoke proceeded.
Upon arriving on the ground, we discovered on
fire, one of long row Of small brick tenements
used as stables to the private residences on O. be-
tween Third and Fourand-a-half streets. The roof
and interior of one was entirely consumed, and n
part of another somewhat injured.
Our excellent fire companies were as prompt as
they always are, in quenching the flames and sub
DUNG the devouring element
As usual there were large number of persons
brought together in the space of very few min
utes, and the "bhoys" who "run wild der ma
chine" were disposed to have little "muss" after
the fire, and before the crowd had entirely dispers-
ed but as the police, under their respective Off
GERS, were visible, In pretty strong force the am
bilious Moseses and Sykeseys," very wisely aban-
dDned the idea.
Look OUT FOR TOUR PocKET- BOOKS PC. H.
Bronnell was arrested to-day by officer II. T. L..
Wilson, on the complaint Of w. Baker, as having
stolen his (Bakers) pocket-book The parties
were all enjoying themselves in convivial manner
In locality formerly known Cat-tail Row"
when Baker alleges his pocket-book and contents
were distracted from him by the said Bronnell
Mr.. Baker remarked that he should not have sus-
pccted Bronnell, only for the reason that he {B J
would persist in wearing "a white hnt"--which
was, in bis opinion good cause for suspicion-he
having heard the exclamation frequently when at
crowded places in the northern cities g Look out
for your pocket-books, mhite hats about r. No
evidence being elected to prove the suspected
party guilty, the case was dismissed by Justice +.
Q. Dom.
We were invited yesterday to look at a most
magnificent set of silver, manufactured by the
Brothers Gait, and which Is intended to be pre-
scented TO late Commissioner Waldo of the Pension
Office, by the clerks and attaches of that bureau
as Testimonial of the regard and esteem ia which
he has been held while an officer over them. The
Judge, we believe, is from the good State Of Con-
necticut, and if he ever takes tea in the arbor"
With his yankee friends and displays upon the
occasion this spiended set of silver, we almost
fancy that we can hear some "Jedediah" as he
reviews IL and hears with satisfaction by whom
and for what reason it was presented, sing out
With admiration" da teiki"

TO DO GooD.n--The better half of distinguished
and very successful halter in the second ward,
presented him at the Capon Springs" few dave
ago with three young "unsn at BIRTH all alive
and hearty; the combined weight of the three being
"a IL lbs. Hatters generally here oflate are very
lucky fellows--severst being at this time In Con-
sress, and one that We know of occupying the high
position of Governor of one Of our States at this
time Our distinguished friend of our city, however
bids fair to furnish the people with Representatives
for some time TO come; at any rate, he has made a
good beginning
FoLicx CoURr.--Central Station-Before Nor
sell and Bireh.--Spalding G. Moore, and John w.
Moore, father and son, were arrested last night
and brought before Capt. Birch, charged with
stealing, and being accessory to the theft of goods
at various times, from VIM. r. Riley a dry goods
merchant OF this city. A large quantity of articles
were found In the trunk of the younger person,
and although he was receiving only So a month
salary, he sported fine gold lever watch, and nu.
neroas other articles Of luxury. From the facts
elected it is supposed that his father has been en-
couraging him in these robberies for some time
back The examination of the parties will come
on to-day, when all the particulars Of this unfortu
nate affair viii be brought forward in the mean
time they have been committed to jail for further
hearing by Justice Birch.
Qua INSECURE JAIL-The grand jury have, as
Is usual visited the county jail and although they
report nvorably as to the cleanliness and good
order in which II is kept think that il Is wretch
eddy insecure, and Ill adapted for what il was in-
tended viz safe place for the confinement Of
prisoners. They win shortly make report, and,
we presume, recommend TO Congress the erection
Of more substantial building.
IMPORTANT TO DrsrEPrcs.- morning during
peregrination through the Market we met an
nped and very much resDecte1 citizen devouriuu A
huge horse cake" which, from its appearance
covered with meIhing resembling red pow
der. We took the liberty of asking our aged friend
what induced him to eat singular mixture
when, to our ed6cation, he informed us that he
had been troubled for years with the dyspepsia,
and had never discovered anything that had re-
lieved him so much as horse cakes and rcd pep
PERI After this announcement we came to the
conclusion that the patent medicine men had bet
ter leave off advertising, and take in their signs"
OurRAoroUs.-We saw the all-important and
