AxrsksESrs----At the National Theatre, the
Rousset Sisters still charm admiring audiences. A
complimentary benefit Is TO be given TO the Easel.
Mating Caroline tomorrow evening, when We
doubt not large and discliminasivs audience win
| fill the house.
The Dyitg Gladiator Is at Morsisons Building,
on Four-and-a-half street.
The revival in the Thirteenth street Baptist
Church, under the care Of Rev DR.. Teasdale, is
still progressing. This youthful and enterprising
| church has more than doubled Its membership
within the last three months. The Rev Mr.. Nice,
of New Jersey, is expected 10 preach tonight ;
and the meetings, we learn, viii be continued
every night this week. a
PRIZE FIGHr. - Leonard Herbert challenged
George Watson to a fair fight and they adjourned
| to the Centre Market space to have Il out Vim.
d. Kerr, friend of Herbert, also being DESTROYS
ofpractisng shoulder hitting, was knocked down
by Watson. AT this point officer Kcmble stepped
up, and took all three to the watch-house, where
they we're obliged to give security to keep the
peace. -
Had the officer not been on hand, 1t would have
probably been desperate fight. ea
CENTRE MARKEr,---Dul, dull, is the burden Of the
cry at the market house to-day. Prices Of Satur-
day maintained generally, with but very little
business doing. Our people laid in such large
stock Of provisions in anticipation Of New Years
day, that a large quantity is now in hand, conse-
quently the dullness Of the market.

we mentioned the name Of Captain Birch of the
Auxiliary Guard. This should have been Wesley
Birch, officer of the guard, but not the worthy
Captain JAS. II. Birch, who viii receive our apology
for making the mistake.
AFFECTING ScENE.--We learn that scene Of
the most distressing kind occurred on the arrival
Of the Young Guard at Aqua Creek. The father Of
VIM. Ogleby, the member who died in Baltimore
during the visit Of the corps to that city, met the
company at the boat, he being on his way to Bal
timore to visit his sack son. not yet being aware Of
his death. One Of the company told the father that
they had his son with them on board. Joy and
fear Immediately struggled for the mastery upon
the old mans countenance, when he was told that
they had the remains of his son on board The
old mans head dropped like flower cut down by
the wind. The scene at the coffin was very dis
tressing old man leaning over 1t, as if all that
was dear and near to him was gone. A funeral
procession was formed upon arrival at Richmond,
and the company marched in the darkness and
stiffness Of the night, withoutmusic bearing the cof
fin to the house Of the deceased 1t was, indeed,
solemn and impressive
The funeral took place on Sunday, when the
body was followed to the grave by large cortege
of citizens and military, and the usual military sa-
lutte was fired over his remains.
