THE CITY OF WARRINGTON the opening of
the year 1850 finds the Federal Metropolis steadily
progressing In all the substantial elements OF true
municipal prosperity. The increase Of the num-
Der Of its permanent inhabitants In the course Of
the past year has been entirely satisfactory TO those
most interested in having IT fast become vast

In Its limitsjudging from the increase OF the city
circulation and advertising Of The S,a,, at this
moment some sixteen per centum greater. as both
are, than ever before at corresponding season OF
the year. No better scale for measuring the cty's
progress than that Of The Star Is conceivable; be-
cause 1t Is taken in nearly every house in the Dis
trict Of Columbia in which any newspaper is
taken, and its advertising columns are resorted to
by everybody here of both sexes really anxious to
make their wants known to the District public at
large. The extraordinary demand for building and
other mechanics, OF all descriptions, up TO the be-
ginning Of the current freeze together with the ex-
traordinary number Of new buildings erected and
old ones renovated and improved this fall, also
tell the tale Of the extra accommodation that have
become necessary to the due housing Of our metro.
Politan population and the convenient transaction
OF their business. The style in which these I'm
provements have been made, too, is a great stride
in advance Of the styles in vogue here previously:
many of the new private residences being palaces
in III cir way, while not few of the newly erected
business places have been constructed on models,
and in manner, that would grace the finish of the
finest blocks OH Broadway, New York
AS general thing, notwithstanding the failure
of Congress at the last session to appropriate as
literally as usual for the prosecution Of overnment
works now being constructed in Washington. the
business Of the city has been remuneratve one TO
all engaged In 1T. Though none among us have
grown suddenly rich, few or none who have really
deserved to thrive, have not tbrven. The almost
entire absence of positive want I'm this commu-
nifty, marked as that is by an almost entire ali.
senCe Of street mendicity here, proves that the
laboring population of the Federal metropolis are
az comfortably off at this season. as the laborinr
population of any other city of the world of an
equal number Of souls. Three -fourths of the few
mendicanis In the Federal MetroJol are from n
distance-Persons who have 10 identity of perma-
nent residence with u.s.
The failure Of the House TO organize is OF course
operating to embarrass business here to 4 greater
or less extent. Yet, on the whole, no other COM
