anses, a. usual, were laughably entertaining;
and in this connection We include the render.
ing, BY Mr.. Adams, of the new song, first pro-
duced by the popular actress, Mrs. Florence,
of "Bobbin around" He appeared in the
costume of afemale-dark frock, white apron,
and q coal-scuttle shaped bonnet of extraord-
mary dimensions, which he constantly kept
merits in the song itself, though the manner
and style Of the singing elected long continued
applause. The hilarity was epidemic, and
there was q continual F" bobbin around of
heads caused by the laughter explosions. We
doubt not there will be similar exhibition of
"bobbin around" this evening" as another at.
tractive programme is presented.
The Black Statue" afforded very much
msrriment, and quaint old codger charac-
terised it as " side-splitting machine" and
to say the least, he was about half-right But
those who have any doubts on the subject can
be convinced for themselves, as it 10 to be re.
peated tonight.
"YELLow FEVER AT WASHINGToy''-DoN'T
BE ALARxED Some of our exchange papers
have copied the following paragraph, which
appeared in the Washington Union Of Tuesday
morning:
eft was reported yesterday that one or two
cases of yellow fever had occurred in the i'm
mediate vicinity of our Navy Yard. 1t is quite
likely that has been, or, what is more likely,
will be the case. The direct communication
between Portsmouth and Washington is fire.
quent, and, as no quarantine regulations ex-
ist here, there is nothing to prevent the intro
duction Of this justly dreaded scourge into our
city"
Lest the above may occasion unnecessary
alarm, We deem it proper to state that Z" the
report of the existence of yellow fever in the
immediate vicinity of the Navy Yard, is con-
tradicted by the surgeon of the yard, as we
direct communication between Washington
and Portsmouth, although persons have, du.
ring the past week, been arriving here by the
way of Baltimore, where they undergo a strict
examination by the health officers.
The SUNSET, yesterday, was truly O rich
scene, inspiring all admirers Of the works of
nature who beheld it with inexpressible de-
light. One as lovely has not been seen in this
latitude during the present season. At first,
the western horizon wore q delicate pink as.
pect, then gradually assumed deeper shade,
until that portion Of the heavens were illu-
minated with, as it were, a curve of living fire;
while above foated light clouds, of ruddy hue,
forming pleasant contrast with the blue and
pearly vapOr, with which they slowly mingled.
The effect on the landscape was indeed beau
tiful-the reflection of the retiring sun impart-
ing to objects within the range of its influence
a roseate hue. We leave to the poet the de-
light of a minute description and the effort to
express the pleasureable emotions of the heart
which the scene inspired.
The MARKET Observation-Disclosures tina
the authorities have determined on the strict
enforcement of the market laws - at least an
officer of standing said 50. 1t is fact that
many cases can be made under those laws
cases that might have been attended to long
since. We believe those empowered to act in
these cases can do their duty without fear
and we heard hope expressed by several in
the market, that prejudices would be laid
aside and the law executed without favor OF
respect to persons.
The GERMAN YAGERs will make their
"grand civic and military excursion" tosthe
White House on Monday next They have
heretofore rendered their pleasure trips de-
lightful to all who participated in them, and
it is therefore fair to presume that they will
not be found wanting" (like him of antiquity
| who was Z" weighed in the balances'') on this
occasion. As Weber's cotillon band has been
engaged, there will of course be not little
"bobbin around in the dance, of which our
German friends are so fond.
The DEPOT DIsTURBANCKs.-Justice Bates,
yesterday, disposed of a number of cases Of
disorderly conduct 1t the Railroad Depot.
Hackmen had been charged with leaving their
horses to obtain passengers in the Office build
| ing when the cars arrived. Daniel McGinnis,
John Butler, James Lynch and Robert Nc
Pherson were ordered to pay the fine and costs
They did not object to the execution OF the
laws.
DANGEROUS SPoRr.-There was shown to u:
| by gentleman, ball which had been fired
at a mans house, and which passed through
one side; breaking teapot on the table al
which the family were sitting, and lodging In
| the wall on the opposite side. This is rather
| close for comfort; and We would advise personl
who wish to practise target firing, to 60 out
| side the city limits or select spot where life
and property will not be endangered by such
amateur sport -
