membered that the Ladies are offering nightly at
odd-Fellows' Hall, such an array Of good things,
useful and ornamental as to please any reasonable
taste. Go tonight, by all means.
RosBKRr.-This morning two boys named John
Jones and William JONES' said to belong to Balti-
more, If any place can own so awful specimen OF
juvenile deprayity, were arrested for stealing
pocketbook from Mrs. Miller in the market, con-
tanning over twenty dollars in money They were
committed to Jail by Captain Birch. The officers
are iD pursuit of another, who was shown to be an
accomplice. Two of these same hopeful specimens
were seen list night at the Ladies Fair at Odd
Fellows Hall, and when admonished to leave, as
being suspicious characters and on-resid eDts one
Of them boldly claimed TO belong 10 the big Six.
Oh for house of correctionl
DIos BoURcIcAULr-It will be seen that this
gentleman plays to night on the occasion Of the
benefit of his wife. We do not know that he has
ever played here, but having immortalized himself
in writing the play Of London Assurance, and other
good things, IL is but fair to presume that he must
be good actor. While expressing the hope and
belief that the house viii be good one, we can
not but remark on the proclivity of the public to
crowd benefits, as If actors never played but on
| occasions Of their own advantage.
PoroNAc SrEAMER.--Tne steamer Planter has
been chartered to take the place of the Columbia
until the repairs OF the latter have been completed
and Is running regularly on the route between
Baltimore and Washington, leaving Baltimore every
Saturday evening at o'clock.
FIRK The alarm of fire last night proved TO be
false. There was large and singular-looking light
In northery direction. Not being the season for
the appearance of the Aurora Borealis, it was pro-
badly brlsh fire in the country.
PAINFUL AND PROBABLY FATAL AccIpENr.--We
learn that this morning Mr. William ]. Harris, a
painter, fell from the house Of Mr.. w. w. Corco-
ran, where he was doing difficult and dangerous
piece of work. He was conveyed to his residence
on Ninth street, in state of intense suffering, and
his injuries being internal, there was but slight
hope OF his recovery expressed. We learn also
that he is man of family, and was removed last
year from the Treasury Department for the helm
Gus offence of being an American.
CONSTITUTIONAL SOCIETY We had nearly for
gotten our old friends of the :" Constitutional So
cety" of the g Pioneer" kind, by which term is
supposed to be meant those who have the boldness
to read the constitution. A friend of the "dark
lantern" proposes to give us some points on the
burnt building" order, and we may therefore dis
cuss during the next week this particular form Of
Magruderism.
nB We understand that some members of the
American party, have construed one or two local
articles which appeared in the Organ, as being in
tended to sustain the claims of the individuals
named therein, for nomination to the Mayoraltr.
There was no such design in the articles, nor
was such an inference just one. We advocate
no particular individuals nomination, but we shall
support the nominee when duly selected by a
proper convention of the American party.
