ings made on the spot by the distinguished artist
j. NJ Stanley of this city, who spent several years

who has attempted to portray upon canvass the
manners, habits and customs Of the Indians of the

last evening the Peoples Theatre had a very large
and fashionable audience to witness Miss Morant's
Meg Merrilies, which, we are happy to say,
equal If not better than Miss G. Cushman's The
rest of the characters were well performed. To
night Miss Morant takes benefit, on which occa-
sion she will appear as Parthenia, in lngomar, and
Lady Gay Spanker, in London Assurance Satur

LOOKING FOR RooMs.--If the keepers of board
ing and lodging houses in this city would pay more
attention to the cleanliness of their halls, stair
ways and apartments, applicants for rooms would
not, as they now do daily, turn away with aversion
from the accommodations offered for their accep-
lance Some Of our housekeepers seem to have
ignored the use OF paint altogether, and of the
scrubbng brush as well. This is decidedly bad poll
cy. 1t is far more economical as well as respectable,
in the long run, to expend a few dollars annually
in repairs, and thus secure a full house the year
through, than by penny wise policy, TO incur the
risk OF empty apartments six months out Of the
twelve. Dirty carpets also, form an aboninaton
that cannot be sufficiently condemned. This is an
iutolerable nuisance and one that needs abate-
ment in very many houses.
So large portion OF this community necessarily
live in boarding houses, that whatever conduces to
their comfort adds 90 much to their general happi-
ness of the city To promote the greatest good of
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, FouR-ANp-A-HALr
sTREET.--The meetings now in progress, and which
will be continued during the present week at
this church, are rapidly increasing in interest and
the number of persons In attendance Last even
ing Rev Mr.. Sunderland delivered one of those
eloquent and faithful dscourses for which he is dis
tinguished, and was listened to with solemn and
almost rapt attention by large congregation of
all ages and both sexes. Mr.. Sunderland may be
expected to preach every evening this week, and
we doubt not that the members of other churches
and congregations viii avail themselves of the fra
ternal invitation extended to all to attend.
,HIGH RENT.--1t is stated that William w. Cor
coran, Esq, has leased to the government for the
use of the Department of State, his six new, spa
cious, and beautiful houses, in row, street
west, for term OF three years, at S26, 900 per
annum.
This Is over "a, 900 apiece for the houses which
are worth probably $4,000 EACH including the
land. At the end of the three years, government
will pay $7s, 600 for the houses at the rate Of
Sl6,o00for each house. II would be more econom.
cal for government to purchase the buildings, in
stead Of renting them.
