The FIREMAN's BALL on Thursday even
ing went off in excellent spirit, and was well
patronized, although but for the extremely
untoward condition Of the streets, the at
tendance would doubtless have been larger.
We understand the company realized"
quite hands mey, the proceeds Of course
going towards paying for their beautiful
engine.
The parade on Thursday afternoon was a
fine sight, the Light Guards" under Capt
Gray, who kindly volunteered to add ustrs
to the occasion, Of course increasing the at
traction. Verify Ottawa has at last got
fire and military company worthy Of the
spirit and enterprise of her people.

PERSONAL,

The Washington States learns from Partisan
correspondent that Spanish nobleman, with the
UNDERSTANDING name of Don Pedro de Aguero
Count of Tirteafuera, Duke of Barataria Grandee
of Spain of the first class, and Knight of the Golden
Fleece, having sought in vain among the noble fam
lilies of his native land and of France for daasel
worthy of his hand and illustrious lineage, and
having heard of the pre-eminent charms of Ameri-
can beauty, has at length determined to resort to
publicity as the readiest means of accomplishing
the object of his heart viz: matrimonial alliance
with young and beautiful girl. The Duke is not
Young but is in good state of preservation He
purposes to advertise for propositions and the bids
will remain open till the LIST Of May, 1850. The
most liberal inducements are offered in the shape
OF magnificent jewelry, an extravagant allowance
of pin-money, palatial establishments, &C. We
hope the States is not endeavoring to quiz fair
countrywomen.

MCSICAL.
ant oil space has heretofore prevented us from
noticing the very admirable concert given by the
Beethoven Society at the Monumental Assembly
Rooms ON last Thursday night. The evening being
tempestuous and cold only moderately large au-
dience was in attendance, but those who came were
amply compensated for the discomforts of the
weather. The classical programme was capitally
rendered and gave complete satisfaction, as was
evidenced by the hearty and discriminating plaudits
with which, throughout the evening, the different
performers were greeted. We have not room
to-day for an extended criticism, but we cannot
omit the occasion to dissent from the views of
contemporary, as to the improperly of using the
piano in rendering classical music. 1t is well known
that Beethoven, Haydn and other of the first mas
tiers have written many of their most priced COM
positions with reference to this instrument, which
we think is of itself sufficient answer to OBJ
lection which seems to to SAVIOR not little of ny
per criticism.
The next concert of the Society will be given on
Thursday evening at the same place, when, among
other things selections from two of the best quin-
tettes of Beethoven and Onslow will be given. We
are gratifed to learn that the Society have OBJ
tanned large number of season subscriptions
sufficient, we hope, to secure the continuance of
their entertainments throughout the winter.
From the advertisement in another column
our readers will learn that Professor j. NJ. Deems
proposes to give series of weekly concerts, with
an orchestra Of at least twenty of the best must
clans in the city, to perform music suitable to all
tastes, from the classic to the lightest style
sisting of symphonies overtures opera potpourries,
marches, waltzes, galops, mazurkas, schottisches,
polkas. quadrilles, &c. also, solos Spon the piano,
violin, violnceo, flute, clarionet, cornet and
trombone.
Professor Deems, having had the advantage of
many years of study in Europe, and the opportu-
nifty of hearing there the performances of the best
orchestras on the continent, is well qualified to
discharge the duties of the position which he has
assumed. He proposes to commence soon as a
sufficient number of subscribers are obtained and
we shall be gratifed to hear that the movement
has met with success.

ODD October, 80. HENRY WINTER DAVIS.
We republish the above, which we find in the
editorial column of yesterdays American,
in order that the Hon. HENRY WINTER DAVIS
may have no reason to complain that he has not
had the benefit of a sufficient hearing in his own
defence, although the language of the note
itself entities neither it him to any such con-
sideraton at our hands. We said yesterday
all that we had intended to say upon the SUBJECT 10
which Mr.. DAVIS refers. In justice, however,
to our Reporter, upon whom Mr.. DAVIS has seen
fit to charge not only 'perverson, out
stgarbled false and malicious perverson OF MS
language, we take occasion 10 add, that we
know nothing which should prevent us from at
tachlng at least as mucn CONSUME
in question CT veracity, to the word
our Reporter as to that of his assai-
ant, while it is perfectly manifest to ourselves
as it must be to the public, that in the present
instance, the temptation of the former to talslty
and msrepresent is much less than that OF the
latter We may add TO the facts which we stated
yesterday, that the report of Mr.. DAVIS speech
was brought to our Office after all the editors OF
the paper had left, and was not seen by any OF
them until it appeared in print. We make this
statement not for the purpose of evading any
responsibility which may exist on the score OF the
printed report for that we have most distinctly and
unequivocally assumed, but simply to show how ut
terly >groundess would be the assumption that ON
opposition to Mr. DAVIS had anything to do with
the report which was made of his speech We have
taken the pains to examine anew the Reporter
original notes, and find them to bear the unmis'
takeable impress of Mr. DAVIS spoken style, while
the testimony of respectable citizens who heard th'
speech has satisfied us concusively of their entire
fidelity TO its spirit and meaning.

INFORMATION REGARDING


We are indebted to a friend for the perusal of
letter received by him from reliable gentleman of
Chambersburg, Pa, which throws additional light
upon the past movements of Capt. Brown, and the
present whereabouts of Capt. Cook. The letter is
dated October 2lst, (last Friday,) in which the
writer states that Capt. Brown (under the assumed
name of Smith, was there six weeks ago, and during
his short sourn, received several drafts from Bos-
ton, all of which were cashed at the bank in that
place. He also received many letters from the
North while there, and many others were forwarded
to him at Harper's Ferry, after his departure. "A
very large number of heavy boxes, doubtless those
containing rifles and spears, passed through Cham
bersburg consigned to him, and were hauled acros
the country in the direction of Harpers Ferry
Our informant is of the opinion that his
plans were concocted and matured in Cham
bersburg. He also gives us the gratifying in
formation that the citizens of that town great
ly incensed at Browns outrageous invasion of the
soil of sister State, and that all the military com
panies there were ready at moments warning to
march into virginia to assist in suppressng the re-
bellion. - - -5F g
We further learn from the same source Al,
wife of Captain Cook, the escaped rebel had 80
in Chambersburg for several days, and that on ~
day the letter was written Cook himself arrived
armed to the teeth. About o'clock in the af,or-
noon an effort was made to arrest him, but he "a.
capped 1t was supposed by some that he had gone
further North, but the general impression was that
he was lying about the town concealed. The ex-
