PAUL JULIEN IN CoNCERr.-Our music lovers
and diIettante will, on Thursday evening
next, be permitted a Anal opportunity of en-
joyipg the delightful efforts of the ever
welcome Parodi, ,Tiberini, Paul julien,
and those who compose in full Strakosch's
splenaid concert company, and We cannot
question but that the occ asion will be hailed
WITH general pleasure, and marked with an
overwhelming expression Of appreciation and
enjoyment Rarely has combination so bril-
lant IN talent been presented to this commu-
NIFTY, ana the imposing success attending their

torily demonstrated the discerning taste OF
our public. Parodi, (who has scarcely rival
now actively before the world,) in addition 70
an admirable selection Of operaic gems fully
calculated to develope her SURPRISING powers,
will sing our national anthem, Tho Star
Spangled Banner" and, from the effect at.
tending its execution In every city where she
has yet rendered it, we presume the delight
Of our citizens will in no wise fall short of the
general enthusiasm. Young Paul Julien,
the most delightful, if not the first, vioinist in
the world. is announced for several popular
and difficult arias; and Tiberini, whose supe-
rior as tenor mario perhaps excepted) does
not exist, renders his charming quota to the
feast OF music. A more pleasurable musical
entertainment has never been offered our COM
munlty. The entertainment is limited to the
single occasion on Thursday evening The
BOX sheet will be open on Wednesday, at tho
Box Office Of the Theatre, when seats can be
reserved.
The UsLY CLUB.-Beauty is everywhere
admired-the human face, the landscape, the
heavens, and the productions of mechanic and
artistic skill. Ugliness Is never above par,
though never below it. 1t holds its own, des-
pite the fluctuations Of the stock market And

virtue Of necessity; and this is seen in the fact
that there is in existence an Ugly Club, -
not one with which to break heads, but to give
exercise to the feet Tonight they give a
ball-not 6auL-at Odd Fellows Hall, Navy
Yard. Every exertion, We are informed, will
be used to make it one of the most agreeable
of the season, q superior cotillon band having
been engaged for the occasion, and supper and
confectionery confded to the hands of an ex-
perienced caterer. A merry time they II have,
as in nights gone by and a practical illustra
ton will be afforded of the truth that there 8
nothing in mere name where abound merry
hearts and warm social sympathies.
A VERY OLD SoLDIER.-On Saturday night,
man calling himself James Mcdonald, was
accommodated with lodgings at the watch
house He stated that he was one hund red
and FIVE years of age, and had walked from
Philadelphia to Washington, requiring on the
way but little to eat, and psrtaking in the
way of liquids, of strong beer, mineral water
and Adams ale - he has seen much mill
tary service, and fought at Badajos, and was
in the American army during the Revolution
airy. The object of his trip is to secure a
home in the Military Asylum and in this,
We presume, he will be gratifed if he can
establish his claim to the character which he
claims. His hair is white his steps are not
so feeble as would be supposed for one of his
age and the veteran possesses but one eye
His general appearance, and the fact that he
is one Of the remaining few who battled in
the country's cause, secured for him the re-
spect of all who saw him at the watch house
New Right OF SUFFRAGE.-The citizens of
Washington will have the opportunity of
voting for President of the United States, a
privilege they never before enjoyed, BY at
tending the exhibition at Odd Fellows Hall
Tomorrow evening, where a vote will be taken
for candidates to the Presidency, and the re-
suit announced. The poll tax on this coca.
sion will be reduced to twelve and "a half
cents. Cheap enough for every body to vote
REvIvALs protracted meeting at the
Methodist Protestant Church, Ninth street,
continues with undated interest. Rev.
Messrs. Shreeve, Nichols, Coates, and Wilson
(the last named the pastor Of the church)
have been conducting the services. The pro-
tracted meeting also continues at the McKen-
dree Chapel, and one has been commenced by
the We sley Chapel congregation, temporarily
occupying old Trinity Church.
COUNTERFEIT CoIN.-We have been notified
that quite a large number Of counterfeit TWEEN.
five cent pieces are circulating in this city
A 0f vh 30 II
the imitation of the genuine is so exact that
the wrirging of the metal was all that would
lead US to suspect fraud. Upon close in
spection however, we discovered on the edg
a small ridge that does not appear en- the gem
uine coin. The pieces purport to be struck in
1852
IMPROPER CONDUCT Yesterday, some young
gentlemen who had INDUCED little too freely
in strong drink behaved very improperly,
promenading through the principal streets, arm
in arm, and using very indecent language
gers in Washington, and promising to 20 and
sin no moro, were permitted to depart.
