TnE CONCERT LAST NIGHr.--0n seeing the very
unpropitious weather last evening the rain
pouring down In torrents-little did we expect 70
see SO respectable a number OF persons present at
the concert of Mile dc Boye. Never before nave
we seen 80 enthusiastic an audience, or performers
give such general satisfaction Mile de Boyes rem
derng of Memberships Concerto in G Minor, was
unexceptionabe and her efforts last night, warrant
one Ia saying that her superior in the rendering OF
this great composers Banks has never before been
heard in this city though many artistes Of eminent
talent have visited US. Prot. Amends performan-
ces on the yioloncello, were universally acknowl
edged superior to any artistic Including even the
great Knoop) who have ever appeared in this
country The most enthusiastic applause, besides
a determined encore followed each of his solos
The exquisite cavatina of Weber, sung by Miss
Schmidt, but more particularly the difficult Aria
from Elijah were rendered IN most creditable
manner, for one so youthful; and bright future
awaits this young Baltmorean, as her voice is GER
tainly beautiful. Professor Wagners solo on the
clarionet, by the applause i received, gave the
most unmistakable proofs of the appreciation the
audience entertained for his superior ski on this
instrument Professor Foertsch, on the piano,
and Misses Weber and Arth on their respective
Instruments all performed their parts with decided
honor to themselves. Now, In conclusion, we
would suggest this concert be repeated as the in
clement weather undoubtedly prevented hundreds
from attending, and not one we heard, on leaving
the room offer any other regret but that their
friends had not been there to enjoy this musical
treat; and hopes were universally expressed that
1t might be repeated, in order that they could
again enjoy music so delightfully."- and beautifully
rendered, but which heretofore had almost entire
ly been excluded from our concert programmes.
GEoReETowa AND THE METROPOLITAN RAILROAD.
At Georgetown, last evening, the committee OF
ways and means Of the corporation, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Edes, to whom was referred the
Mayors message relative to call of the Metro
poltan railroad company for an additional install
ment upon the subscription to that work, have re-
ported to the councils their serious and unpreju-
diced consideration thereof They declare une-
quivocaly, in favor Of the railroad connection OF
this town with the main stem OF the Baltimore
and Ohio road, but reserve the right to say at
what cost to Georgetown they would be willing to
purchase its advantages, seven tenths Of which
would enure to Washington. Where Others are
30 deeply interested, Georgetown ought not to be
expected alone to undertake the great work.
The annual report of the directory of the Me-
tropolitan railroad made one year ago, deemed
commencement of the work unadvisable, unless
Washington contributed literally; but as yet, no
additional aid has been received. The committee
conceived that as the charter of interpretations
were made, its extraordinary features were not
duly considered. The connection, so far as this
District Is concerned, near the Point of Rocks
would have secured all that is required for our in
terests but selfish State policy Indicated an ex-
tension to Hagersown necessary to satisfy Mary
land
The committee refer to the provisions of the
charter devolving upon the corporation and citi-
zens of Georgetown the construction OF the road
whilst the Maryland counties and Washington
would derive superior advantages therefrom. If
Washington and Maryland unite In an equitable
ratio of subscription, we say go on--go on. Other
wise let the road f, rather than bankrupt the
corporation.
The committee makes at length an exhibition OF
complicated difficulties In connexion with low
treasury, takes the ground that with the sale Of
possibility to undertake the road. They recon.
mend however, expression of public opinion
through the ballotbox on that question.

the end of Seventeenth street west, by a colored
man. II had lain there probably some two weeks
and was about one-third decomposed. Such Incl

What a story does this poor infant tell Unlawful
love, or unbrdled lust, perhaps parental neglect,
