The FREE CoscERr.--The Capitol grounds and
buildings adjacent, again responded last evening,
to the delightful strains Of the Marine Band though
the promenade was not so well attended as is
usual, owing to the rain which fell in the after
noon. There was goodly company, however,
and the little masters and misses particularly en-
joyed themselves hugely. The leader Of the Band,
Prof. Scala, informs us that, on next Wednesday,
he will produce some entirely new pieces.

gagged, and the Highland Piper will accompany the
excursion.
Don't forget the excursion Of the Of" and
9th" streets Presbyterian choirs, the 9th in
slant. Good singing, a delightful ride on the Po-
tonac, excellent fare, and the best attention to the
comforts Of all who may favor the chors with their
company, are the inducements held out to the
public.
REGATTA.-The boat Regatta on the 9Th of Au-
gust promises to be an exciting affair great
deal Of betting will be INDUCED in no doubt by the
knowing ones" and as the competition is be-
tween boats instead of men or horses, it will par
take more of the nature of a pleasant recreation
than anything else.
Cor TO MoyE.--In the suit for ejectment men
toned in our local yesterday, the jury decided in
favor of the plaintiff, w. w. Corcoran. The case
elected much interest, and, although the occu-
pants of the store in question, have to be SO sum-
maiily thrown out Of business, they must be con-
tent to abide by the verdict as rendered by a
jury of their countrymen, and bow in respectful
submission to the majesty of the law"
PAT REJoIcING.-Mr Grady, of Winder's build
ing, an Irishman, recently met an American who
had been removed from the Navy Department,
and remarked, in an exulting manner: "Ah,
they have taken your head of, | see."
In Winder's building there are three Iris
watchmen and one American No wonder Mr..
Grady felt so grand when he met the prescribed
American. But how will the American citizens Of
the States regard such insultsg We can assure
them they are of almost daily occurrence in this
city, under the present administration. To be a
native American and Protestant, is positive
disqualification for Office under the administration
of General Pierce.

with the same population, where there is more or

them as citizens and as public servants.
