RECREATION AND ANusExEzr.--Tho splendid
Regstt4" which takes place on the 9Th OF Au.
gust inst, must not be fofgottep. We remembers
that last year one came OF, which was attended by
thousands ofonr citizens and We never have on
any previous occasion seen 80 much interest mani
tested in regard TO the fine result Of the race as
was at that time. Boat racing Is an innocent and
highly-exciting amusement and We anticipate that
large crowd win assemble Ia the different steam
ers and shores adjacent, 10 witness the Regatta
The names Of the different boats which will con-
tend Tor the prize or prizes are TO be found in an
other column.

right left front and you are hereby command
cd 10 attend mot forgetting to bring the ladies' with
you) the excursion of the Ben Franklin Target
Company" which takes place on the Sth day Of
August, 1850 BE It known, ais to the ladies and
gentlemen Of our city, that the (" Ben Franklin"
are hard to beat in anything which they under
take and we do assure them that In addition 10
their being good fremen, that they are also con-
sidered some when called upon to do the duties OF
the soldier; and that the exertions Of both on
this occasion will be put forward, In order 10 rem
der this an excursion unsurpassed and unsurpassa-
BILE.
A DisAPPoISTMEsT, NO poUBr.--We announced
in our column on Wednesday last, that having
received a special invitation TO the excursion Of
the National Guard, that we should likely attend.
Circumstances beyond our control, however, pre-
vented US from so doing. We beg leave TO "renew
hear, serious disappointment at our not making
our appearance) the sssurarces of our most dis
tinguished consideration"
CLOSING NiGHr.-Last night closed the perform
ance of the Circus company. The canvass was
crowded, and really the exertions of both mana
gers and artists to render the exhibition pleasing
have entirely succeeded and taking into conside-
ration the frequency and sameness In the display
of Circuses, we do not think the proprietors Of
this one have any cause to complain Of either
meagre patronage or "hard times" The compa-
ny perform in Georgetown to-day and tomorrow.
THE PRopHEr "MALAcHI"--The above so-called
individual was pursuing his occupation Ceiling for
tunes) In and about the market-house yesterday;
and when we passed him, he was scanning the
hand of poor credulous negro, who, with eyes
as big as saucers," was listening to this modern
oracle, who, astonishing as 1t may seem, drives a
ourishing business in what he terms telling for
tunes" AS his charge for doing SO much for the
human race is only shilling, we would advise all
who feel any interest to their future state In this
world to give Malachi" call; for we understand,
and from good authority, too, that he will tell you
more for shilling than the aristocratic class be-
longing to his profession (who live in luxury in
many OF our northern cities, and who are every
day adding to their illgotten gains by imposition
upon the weak and too credulous part of our pop
ulation) win for dollar.
LoUNGERs.-We are requested to say to those
individuals, who are in the habit of blocking up
the entrances to the Smithsonian Institute" that
such conduct is great cause of complaint, espe-
cialy by the ladies, who do not wish to be stared
at nor their persons and dresses commented upon,
by lot of people, who seemingly have nothing
else to do. Should this conduct be persevcred in
we shall pay special visit to that locality.
AT a convention of American delegates from
Prince Georges county, Maryland, held in this

vention which assemblies in this city on the goth
of August, to nominate candidate for Congress

THE WEATHER.-The weather yesterday was de-
lightful. Throughout the entire day we were ia
vored with light winds and refreshing showers al
ternately. This morning. too, was the most plea
SAINT which we have experienced this summer.
Although the air quite chilly just before sun
rise, after that 1t was really delicious and every
thing gave token Of a goodly day."
CoRREcTIos-In our notice of the excursion Of
the Native American Club" yesterday, we made
the types say the 18th instead of the 18th Of the
month. So, ladies and gentlemen please take no
tce, and you avoid all mistakes by being on hand
when the "bell rings"
