EXHIBITION SoIREE.-Ihe soiree dan
sante, given by Messrs McEvoy and Warrock, at
Lafayette Hall, ON Friday night last was the most
beautiful affair of Its kind that Witnessed
The attendance was large and we are fully justi'
fed in saying that an assembly embodying more
loneliness has never been gathered together in
Richmond The programme OF exhibition com"
prised twenty dances, chiefly designed to show
the perfection of Mr.. McEvoy system of teaching.
Among the pupils were several Juveniles fancifully
dressed, who performed variety of pretty dances
to the great admiration of the spectators present
1t indeed gratifying to behold the gracefulness
of these beautiful children, and we venture to say
that the teacher felt small degree of PRIDE
look ed upon the results OF his lahors. And more
particularly So because the exercises were varied
by the presentation to him OF handsome cigar
case, by Miss Mary Allen, on behalf of the pupils
The pleasing task was very prettily performed by
this young lady, and Mr.. McEvoy responded In an
appropriate manner. We cannot describe the
scene presented at this exhibition In terms lsuff
GENTLY enthusiastic. 1t is enough TO say that 1t
was one of surprising beauty, reminding the be-
holder more of a fairy festival in some palace of
enchantment than of event Incident to this ter
restrial sphere The only regret felt by those pre-
sent was that the heeting hours passed by spec.
Oily, and that the c ,sing OF the ball apty showed
the transitory nature of worldly pleasures. Yet
we venture to say that those lovely children retired
to their homes with JOY in their little hearts, and
rested the more sweetly for having been permitted
amusement Creditableind is it to Mr.. McEvoy,
that he has been the means of impartipg 90 much
pleasure to the mind Of gapna RihbsraI patronage,
accompanied BY the sincere attachment of Els
youthful pupils
We must not omit to mention that the music was
furnished by an excellent quadrille band composed
OF Messrs, Dollinger, Hirschbere, and others.

GEN. QUITMAN.-The Washington cores
pondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce states that Gen. Quitman, being ad-
vised of the revolutionary proceedings in
Cuba, and entertaining the opinion that the
revolution would be successful, came on to
Washington, expecting to find Congress and
the Administration all in blaze about Cuba.
He took it for granted it is said, that the
President would recognize the popular
movement in Cuba, and recommend to
Congress the repeal of the Neutrality Laws.
He was disappointed in his expectations of
the President and Cabinet, and Congress-
Had the neutrality law been repealed, says
the correspondent, Gen Quitman would have
