LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Ma. AND MRs. FLoxxxcE.-Thsss really
eminent theatrical artists appear tonight at
the Varieties. They are, together. almost with
out equals In this country in the personation
Of their line Of pieces While Mr.. Florence Is
fnished and critically correct comedian, his
dancer, and one Of the most versatile actresses
Who has ever played upon the American
stage The lady or gentleman Of Washington
:, VINO patronires theat2icals and vet fails to see
them, viii miss what we know to be really one
OF the greatest treats in that way that has
ever been within ones reach in this city.
Z PREVENTION BErrER1 TRAN CURE.-We
really do not know how we can better serve
p our readers than by calling their attention to
r the compound herb drops manufactured by
] our neighbor, @. Gautier, and recommended
oy all the faculty Of Washington as q capital
remedy IN cases of coughs, colds, &c. We |
bear testimony not only to their efficiency. but
that they are really rich and exceedingly
palatable luxury. To relieve the first an
proach of q cold, We know nothing else equal
to them, for they are sedatiye and palliative
70 that disagreeaoie condition of irritstion in
sne throat, WHICH always admonishes one for
hours before one finds oneself q sufferer from
sse'efs ind often ultimately dangerous cough.

tered by Mr.. ii. G. Jarrett to convey the the.
atrlcal excursionists and their friends from
baitmore to this city, last evening, made the
tap In .Nty.fre minutes including short
delay ut Scagg's station. The train was un-
der the direction Of Captain Rawlings, one of
the most skilful conductors on the road, who
deserves great credit for the admirable ar
rangements made to insure the safety of the
party while travelling at this fiIghtfnI speed.
The fastest Jehu between the depot and the
Theatre proved to be Mr.. VIM. A. Wilson, who
made the trip in one and half minutes
4, to whom the silyer-mounted whip will be pre-
sensed to day
The MISNEsoTA.-Wel learn that this vessel,
one of the six war steamers heretofore ordered
to be constructed, is almost ready for launch
ing at the Washington navy yard. They who
have taken an interest in the subject. and
visited the hull, express themselves in the
highest terms Of praise concerning the elegant
and substantial manner in which the vessel
has been built. It is, in all respects, credita-
bic to the skill of the worthy mechanics en-
gagged in the work; and we doubt not that it
viii at least be equal to its FIVE consorts. 1t
Is proposed that the launch shall come of on
Saturday next, at p, m; bat the wind now
blowing VIII probably make the tide too low.
A GREAT IHPRovEAENr.-The new banking
house Of our enterpri.ing fellow-citizens,
Sweeney, Rittenhouse 4 Co., on Pennsylvania

on the skill Of our city's mechanics. In all
lts arrangements, it is equal for the purpose
70 the establishment Of any other private
bankers IN the country. Their bank, which
rs not one Of issue, has become an institution
Ut great Importance to the business interests

strangers even more than heretofore.

Fellows fraternity, who have been invited to
be present, We learn that the American Rifle
men, Capt. Mexican, also contemplate visiting
the fair. -,
A PIrIABLE SPEerAcLE.-A drunken, stag
Eering man is disgusting sight at any time.
Yesterday, one in that condition was seen in
our streets, holding by the hand his girl, aged
about i've years. The tender offspring seemed
TO be aware Of the disgrace of her parent and
looked into his face as if appealing to his bet
ter feelings, to forego the cause Of the shame
full exhibition. Moving first to one side of the
footwsy and then TO the other, he, unable to
preserve his equilibrium, fell on the child,
both striking the earth in their descent.
