CITY TNTELLT4ENCE.


eaily as yesterday morning.
We presume the whole number Is sold by this
time, p. N. 9s
The grafton win be delivered at the Smithsonian
Hall, which viii comfortably seat 1900 persons
We have been requested to state that Mr. Eve
rett will esteem il a great favor if gentlemen
connected with the press will abstain from report
ing his address. This kindness ha been done in all
the cities where he has spoken heretofore and the
same courtesy win doubtless be extended to him
here. The address has no political character and
is to be repeated elsewhere in aid Of the funds for
the purchase of Mount Vernon. ~
In regard TO the price of tickets, of which some
complaint has been made, we will state that
the same price was charged in Richmond, and win
be in Baltimore and Cincinnau. The object being
patriotic one, We presume all good citizens viii
chserfuly acquiesce in the decision Of the commit
tee Of arrangements. ~ n3 sef
THEArRE.--Mr. Forrest plays Jack Cade tonight.
It is one of his greatest chancters There is much
more merit in this play than Is generally accorded
to 1t, and it ID Of course needless TO say that the
great tragedian will make the most Off he does
with everything he undertakes. We should be
derelict in duty and obligation not to accord to the
stock company their need for the ability with which
they sustain the Stars" and with which they put
through things on their own hook. We would
mention individuals but for the cardinal principle
Of never wishing to be considered invidious
DEATH OF Mr.. /. MUsRor CnUBB-On the 2Sd
instant at Jacksonville, Florida, whittier he had
gone for the benefit of his health, Isaac Munroe
Chubb, Esq, of this city, aged thirty-two years.
The deceased was native OF Richmond Virginia,
and came to this city as a clerk in the house OF
Oorcosan Riggs fifteen years ago, and has resided
here ever since, for several years as the head of
the house of Chubb Brothers The rectitude and

who knew him, and will cause his early death to
be sincerely lamented by large circle of attached
friends. 3fee
RKv. Mr.. Cross lectured last evening at Tenn
pcrance Hall, on the subject of Converts or Nun
neries His lecture was listened to very attentive
ly. BY request Of those present, he will lecture
some evening of,next week, which will be duly ad-
vertised. tie Ht @F
The lecturer was particularly severe on the Ma
tonaL Inteiigencer for refusing the publication of
the notice of the lecture, when offered to be paid
for, from the fact that this same paper had pub
ished the notice of lecture of DIR. Ives before the
Young Mems Catholic Association of Georgetown,
the subject Of which was direct insult to the Pro-
testant community in which 1t was delivered

CURRENT OPERATIONS OF THE HETREAsURy.--Every-
body knows that of the Department which recog
conviction with it, the bureau of the Third Audi
tor is the brightest The last operation is too good
to be lost, and reads somehow SO: A young man,
who had reached so near the Jail of his hopes as
to be appointed to an examination, was reported
to have all the necessary qualifications except
bodily health. Mr. Guthrie, who goes on the reg
ular Patch doctrine that some things can be done
as well as Others more particularly when he wishes
them done very promptly, ordered that he should
rad ,dor Ia hI,u
it is and that his examiners should forthwith dis
solve the commission Of health into which they had
resolved themselves. As Mr.. Justice Nupkins re-
marked to Mr.. Jinks, Duelling is the express pre-
rogatve Of majesty y so consideration of health
is the express prerogatiye of the Secretary
Clerks whe are sick must now report the exact ma
tnre Of the disease and it must be confessed to be
a good, sanitary regulation. No more ga nmon!
no more old soldier! Walk up to the bull-ring!

SOUTHERN WIvEs-It is said with perhaps q
show of plausibity, that our Southern wives and
daughters have less power of adaptation than some
Others, to the exigencies Of life. 1t may be par
italy true, but not halt so much so as is generally
supposed. In this city the difficulty of getting
good servants and sometimes Of servants at ali,
has forced our fair into self-reiance worthy Of ad
miraton and praise. No one knows how many
of the dainty fingers which run so trippingly over
the keys of the piano were lately in the meal tub
or how many jolly husbands owe the enjoyment of
their tea and toast to the haMiiwork of the good
wife. Crusty bachelors reckon without their host
in not being able to find suitable companions in
this city, and gallant, gay Lotharios may travel
farther and do worse. With this hearty endorse
ment, and leap year annexed, we hope to chronicle
success to matrimony.
JUDGE This distinguished
gentleman arrived in the city yesterday, on his way
to Clarksburg and his Western circuit. To the
fact that Virgnans have to 60 out Of the State TO
get into the State Ia state of things which are
happy to believe will not last much longer,) we
owe the pleasure of seeing this finest specimen of
old and new Virginia happily combined. Judge
b. is Democrat but none of your ebo-shn or
equally conspired to keep him out of the muddy
stream of politics; but, being yet in his prime, and
the Old Dominion not having yet made up her
Jewels, we may hear from him in another sphere
than that which he now fills with SO much credit.
MARKET.--Centre Market was pretty well sup
piled with both necessaries and luxuries, consider
ing the season. The winter being long and hard,
has made everything backward in the way of Ma
ture's production Tolcraby fair shad were selling
at rs cents per pair, and rock fish and perch cheap
er in proportion to the supply. Logger-heads and
snappersay around loose which we did notinterfere,
having before our minds eye the early association
of their never letting CO. before 1t thunders. Let
tuce and other greens" we're scarce and high, so
it viii be some days before jowl and salad make
the public jaw, ego fippety flap" It's needless
to say that eggs are yet more plenty than young
onesn
OYsrKRs.-Our friend, Joshua Gibson, Post of
fee Restaurant, has now on hand lot of the finest
favored, largest and fattest oysters, we ever saw
or tasted. They are called "Corn6ed Harbor"
oysters and can't be beat. Try theml a
