aud Charity. ..
Occasional" the well known Washington
letter writer, thus speaks Of the self-sacri6c-
ing class of women, known as Sisters Of
Mercy and Sisters of Charity;
fall the admirable public institutions in
this city, the Washington Infirmary well de-
serves TO be classed among the first. II is sit
uated on E-street Immediately in the rear of
the City Hall. The building is owned by the
General Government, and placed under the
control Of the medical faculty of Columbian
College. The immediate management and
charge are entrusted to the Sisters of Mercy.
This is Catholic order, similar to that fthe
Sisters Of Charity, except that the VOWS of
the former are perpetrated, and those Of the
latter renewed every year. These seli-saerihc-
ingwomen attend to all the domestic arrange
ments Of che infirmary. As nursest they are far
famed. The order was founded by Miss
McAuley, at Dublin in the year 1927. The
first branch'in the United States was es-
tablshed at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in ls43.
Those who take the vow are charged with
the education of young ladies, visiting the
sick and dying, and those in prison, and
their lives combine alike the active and the
contemplative, being devoted wholly to the
spiritual and corporal works OF mercy.
Their influence has become Worldwide. The
l00TIlaTN can ACCOMMODATE Out anu
fifty patients, and but sixty-three are now
undergoing treatment within its walls. Con-
gress appropriates six thousand dollars per
annum for the support and medical attend-
ance of forty nonresident paupers, who are
admitted at the discretion Of the Superin-
tendent of the Public Buildings. Citizens
and patients from abroad are admitted at
moderate charges, and may have the attend
ance of any physician whom they desire to
call in. In this respect the Washington In
6rmary differs from almost all other hospitals,
the latter requiring their patients to be at
tendedonly by their regular medical advisers.
Entrance into this noble institution is sought
by men of the highest rank in society, on ac-
count of the delicate and devoted care be-
slowed upon all, whether rich or poor. When
l visited it, the other day, to pay my respects
to Major Lynch, of Pittsburgh, was greatly
touched by the all-pervading cleanliness and
quiet of the place, and the genteel, graceful
and constant vigilance of the ladies who
have this glorious charity the main object of
their unselish lives. A bill is now pending
before Congress, having been unanimously
reported from the Committee on the District
of Columbia, TO place the infrmary under
the charge Of the medical profession Of the
District of Columbia.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.
Monetary and Commercial.

Eastern Exchange continued so extremely
scrace yesterday that Bankers, who desired
to keep it down to Il, were compelled to give
way, particularly as they could buy no drafts
even at a rate above that which they named
as their drawing figure and consequently an
advance occurred, with all but one or two
houses, to IS. The market even then was so
very close that many dealers would not sell
at the advance to any but customers, for the
reason that they could not buy again. AL
most every Banker was short ofsupply; but in
a day or two the receipts from returned bank
notes and other sources will probably i'm
prove, and the market become easier.
In Monetary matters there was little
change yesterday; they were only moder-
ately active, with the supply and demand
nearly equal, and Money easy of obtainment
to any reasonable extent on approved Paper,
at l0(9l2 per cent.
Gold was in demand for shipment, and also

Exchange was quiet. We heard of some
inquiry for Sight, but learned of no transac-

the Banks was unchanged in rate of discount

the advice Of Mr.. Pfyor's friends. Another
is, that Mr.. Pryor had signifed his v illing-
ness TO meet Nj. Potter in common combat
with such arms as either might choose, out

These rumors have no foundation. In

yet been arrested and does not intend to
put himself Immediately within the reach o.
the authorities. He was at the Kirkwood
House on Friday night last, in company
with Messrs. Miles and Keitt. Mr.. Potter
had arranged a fortnight ago to 60 home
this week but will remain in consequence
Of these reports. His friends do not intend
to publish the correspondence now as the
main facts are understood by the public.
They are, however, perfe city willing ,hai
the other side should. Col. Lander called
upon Mr.. Kilt on Friday nigh! to under
stand whether his presence as a second o
Mr.. Potter vas amy longer necessary in
connection with the affair, and was as.
sured that it was not. Quite n number of
Mr. Pryor's personal and political friends
entertain the opinion that he unnecessarily
thrust this quarrel on Mr.. Potter and having
assumed an attitude in the House which
was followed up by a preemptory challenge
he was bound 10 accept any weapon. Others
sustain his course throughout.
LATEH.-Mr. Pryor was arreated today
and will tomorrow give security to keep
