LBCrURE AT COLUMBIA HALL. kc-Dr q
e. Busey lectured on Thursday evening at this
popular place Of resort, before quite a large
and intelligent audience, his subject being
the Marriage Divorce" The points elabo'
rated were, that marriage is divine institu.
ton, and cannot justly be regarded as a civil
contract, to be apnullcd By the will or pleas
ure Of either or both Of the parties that its
responsibilities are of the mightiest aud ut
most importance, both as to time and eternity.
The Doctor enforced his views by adducing
scriptural and other high authorities. and
oWeit with much earnestness and beauty upon
the moral qualities essential to happiness in
the married state Tho spirit of Cath slicism
seemed to breathe through out tho lecture
the doctrines and opinions enunciate by the
speaker being in striking conformity to those
maintained by the Catholic Church upon thu
subject. On the whole, the lecture was
highly creditable production and was received
with much favor by the intelligent auditory.
We are glad to see the new chandeliers Of
the Library Of the Company in a blaze of
glory. They add much to the appearance of
that handsome apartment. We were also re-
Joiced to hear az ain the sweet and command
ing voices Of Messrs. Grennup and Bennett,
Who entertained the company with some fine
songs.
RAILROAD Can BRAKE.-We cannot at this
time present the statistics Of the number OF
lives that have been sacrificed by the travel
on railroads since their introduction. Nor
would We like to do 30, even if they were in
our possession. for the picture would indeed
be frightful But If, in the future, these calam
tiles can be aveIted, as We think they can
after an exsmin alton and practical demon
stration of a railroad car brake constructed by
VIM. Loughridge, of Washington county, Md,
We say lat those companies who fail TO adopt
this new improvement, should be held ac-
eountable hereafter to the full extent Of the
Law for all damages that may occur on their
road. We gave description of this invention
on Wednesday last, and we recur to il to-day
after satisfying ourselves of its usefulness All
who desire to see il would do well to call at
the National Hotel this afternoon, at o. clock,
when the inventor will be present with model
and explain its principles.
MYERS 4 MADIGANs CIRcUs-This splen.
did troupe appeared ut the National for the
second time, last night. to fashionable house,
and were greeted with the most enth us astic
applause throughout their perform pces The
grseefuI riding Of Mile Rosa delighted every,
body, and each night increases her popularity
The witticiSns, comicsiities, and songs of the
three clowns kept the audience in o roar and
the beautiful athletic sports of King and LIE
Kue were truly surprising. We advise our
citizens to 90 and see this capital equestrian
troupe
TIE BALL CANE EscAPE.-In justice to
0ncer KimbalI, We are glad to be able to
say, that after he heard Of tho escape of Irwin
and Howard, he went immedi ately in pursuit
Of them, and followed them to Bladensburg.
Mr. L. says he thinks he would have arrested
both Of them, if he had not been knocked in
the head by a man named Suit. Mr.. Kimball
and his friend were the securities fer the ap-
peaTance of the prisoners At the next term Of
the criminal court; aud we regret such active
and useful officers should be yic,imized in this
way by Pickpockets OF their Pimps.
FIRE AT Rock CREEK FoUSDERY-ARREsr
OF TEE SUPPOSED IScBSDIARY.-About eight
o'clock, last night, Rock Creek Foundry,

Weed a Smallwood, was discovered to be on

and succeeded in saving considerable portion
Of the building and materials. Circumstances
