ADJUSTMENTS.

THE 0PERA.-This evening is set apart for
the benefit of the charming Mile Wilhorst,
who offers for the amusement Of her patrons
and ballet. Donizetti's far-famed La FigIa
Del Regimento, or, The Daughter of the Regi-
n,ent, will be presented, with Mile Wilhorst as
"Maria," "a character, it is reputed, in which she
has no equally Mr.. Squires as "Louis," and
Amodio as the Sergeant" A grand diver
tisement, entitled La Maja De Ssvilla, in
which Mile Franc and host of terpsichorean
artistes appear, will be offered in complete
ballet character. The entertainment will con-
clude with the famous comic scene from u EIisir
D'Amore, in which Mile Wilhorst appears as
"Adino," and Sig. Barii as "Dulcemara."
The attraction for a full house tonight is i'm
mehse, and we hope the fair beneficiary may
have pccuniarily profitable benefit.
NATIONAL THEArER.-The attractive feature
at this establishment is the new play of Er-
tremes Meet; or, Men of the Day. As we have
before spoken of the merits of this play and
| the manner of its rendition, it would be super
fuous to again attempt criticism. Wowould
simply remark that it is we'll written, abound
ing in sentiment, pathos and humor, and re-
plete with stage effect. 1t will be repeated to-
night.
Woop's THEATER. The inimitable bur-
lesques produced by the Buckley Troupe a,
Woods Theater, have, since their commence
ment, nightly attracted large audiences. Last
night Cinderella was rendered in an effective
manner, and the audience manifested theil
hearty appreciation by roars of laughter ant
the most unbounded applause. Tonight, il
connection with their concert, the Buckley
will give their burlesque of Norma, which will
undoubtedly attract another crowded house.
TIE ULLMAN CONCERT LAST EvENIYe.-Th
last concert of the world-renowned Carl Formes
with Mile Laborde and Poinsot, was attende,
last evening by very select and fashionabl
audience. The performance of each of thes
artistes was hailed continually during the even
ing with immense applause They acquitte
themselves in highly creditable manner, an,
we feel safe in saying that no troupe ever lef
our city under more favorable auspices 70
crowded houses should they ever return to ou
city. We understand that Mr.. Formes will
give another series of concerts in this cit,
, during May.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-In view Of fitting
out the new war steamers, the Navy Depart
ment will probably experience some difficulty
in procuring the necessary number of engineers.
There are now lacking the full complement
eight chiefs, twenty-five first assistants, thirty
six second assistants, and twenty-four third
assistants. The reason for this is, doubtless,
the inadequacy of compensation. There is
also a scarcity of pursers, surgeons and ma
rines, owing, in part, to the requirements Of
the Paraguay expedition.
1t is asserted in unusually reliable quarters
that after September 80 next, the mails will be
carried between New York and San Francisco
by the Nicaragua instead of the Panama route,
the contract to continue until June 80, 1860,
the end of the present fiscal year, leaving Con-
gress to determine, in the mean time, what shall
be dono after that date. The authority for
this contract is claimed under the law of 1s45.

public opinion is in the first classes Of society
here. As to the question of property qualif-
cation for jurors, about which SO much has
been said to-day, it may not be amiss to state
that in the State Of New York similar
property qualification exists. A juror must be
assessed to the amount of $3.50, and bis not
being so assessed is a cause for challenge.
One of the jurors-the eleventh-is under
stood to have stated that since he was sworn
he has come to the conclusion that his mind
was not wholly unbiased.
If this be so, it may effect the present or
ganization Of the jury.
The jury is generally regarded as q good
one-it being composed of some Of the most
respectable citizens Of the District of Columbia.

Hostilities Between Dominica and Dem
mark.

New YORK, April 6.-The Herald has letters
from San Domingo to March Is, announcing
hostilities between Dominica and Denmark.
A Danish Envoy recently arrived there in q
war vessel, and peremptorily demanded $780,
600, as indemnity for the seizure of two Dam
ish vessels by President Paez, during the recent
revolution in Dominica.
The President, Santana, offered to refer the
matter to arbitrators. The Danish function
ary declined, giving the Dominicans twenty
four hours to comply with his demands, with the
understanding that refusal would be followed
by a blockade of the port. The Dominicans
forthwith decided in favor of war, and COM
menced manning their batteries. There was
but one Danish war vessel in port.
Letters received here from San Domingo
state that, previous to the Danish action
against Santanas' Government, the French de.
mauded the concession of all the gold, silver
copper and coal mines Of the Republic.
The writer of the above is entitled to full
credence.
