Have any of our city authorities e
had occasion to visitthe steamship land
ing on q dark and rainy night? If not,
we advise them to make the effort. "A
more dreary. bleak, and disagreeaoie
journey cannot be imagined. Inthick,
black mud up to your knees, you grope
your way through the darkness, at every
step encountering the imminent peril OF
dashing your brains out against some
p%rotruding obstacle, stumbling into a
mud hole, or falling into one OF the I'M
guarded docks. Why are there no gas
lamps placed in the vicinity of thedocks
and wharves, where they are certainly
more necessary to the transaction of
business than on Main or Church streets?
And why is it that the venue leading
to the river are not improved, widened,
and shelled or paved, and the wharves
also repaired? Many Improvements are
necessary all along the front of the city
from Wide Water street to the river, and
q small expenditure of money would be
a great benefit to the trade of the place.
Above all, the entire front of the river
ought to be lit with gas. Passengers ar
irving in the night cannot find their
way up to the city for want oflight, and
In wet weather they would certainly get
lost in the mud, In broad daylight it is
difficult to drive a hack through the filth
that lines that entire portion of the town.

ARRRsrRp.-Patrick Madden was arrested yesterday
evening by officer Bonanti on complaint of one Of his
~neighbors, for abusing his family and threatening thoir
lives. Madden is a large, powerful man, and when about
being arrested used all his power to resist the officer. lie
was committed to Jail by Justice Stone, the watch-housc
not being open. A drunken sailor was also arrested by
Constable Ashby on the corner Of Church and Main
streets yesterday afternoon, for being belligerously in
clined, and disturbing the neighborhood generally. He
was so drunk that the officers had to call into reqni-
sition u truck to carry him to the Jail. Why Is the
wstch-house not open during the day. We respectfully
ask this information. As things are now the constable

kfMBERLY's PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY, - Art has at least
one magnificent temple in Norfolk, and that is Kimber-
lys new National Photograph Gallery" on Main street
As has heretofore been stated in our columns, the rooms
are not only elegantly, but superbly fitted up and deco
rated, and are equal in finish and beauty to any estab.
lishment of the kind we have seen North OF South,
though there may be larger, grander, more gorgeous and
Iretentious concerns elsewhere. The pictures taken by
Mr.. Evans, the principal operator, are clear and beautiful,
and stamp him a workman Of superior ability and a true
artist. Some of the finest, most chastely colored and
delicately executed photographs that we have ever seen,
are produced at this gallery. It is a pleasant resort,
where a few minutes can be quite agreeably whiled away
and your shadow most substantially taken. Mr.. Evans
photographs are really PROJECTIONS Of art, and are univer-
sally admired by critics and connoisseurs.

Tus THEAfRg.-There is an excellent bill for tonight
light, airy, fahciful and humorous-just the thing to sui
the temper of these times. FIRST we are to have a new
pretty comedy, entitled " Two eau Play at that Game, in
which Miss Kate Reynolds taxes at least one hand and
the next, the " Bonnie Fish Wife" in which the same
lady plays two parts; and finally. by particular request,
a The Maid with the MilEing-Pail," In which she will ap-
pear as the srtless Milly, and sing the sweet song Of the
:" Maid with the Milking Pail, " with which the audience
are so much delighted uponail occasions. This is the
right kind of an entertainment, and We think will suit
our people better than matters of greater weight of more
pith and moment. We want something to laugh at, and
the probabilities are we will have 1t tonight. Such a
bill as this ought to draw a full honse.

The difficulty arising out of the arrest
in Prussia Of Germans who had become
American citizens for the non-perform-
ance of the military service required By
the Prussian laws, continues to excite
attention in that country. Won Bis.
marks organ declares that the constitu'
ton imperatively requires every subject
of Prussia to perform military duty, and
clnnot be altered at pleasure by the ex
ecutive authorities. Assuming this
statement to be correct, the only way to
relieve naturalized American citizens
from the obligations which they are
considered to be under towards the land
of their birth, would be the conclusion
of a treaty between the United States
and Prussia to that effect. Hitherto
suchpersonsh have generally been released
firm the compulsory military service in
which they are subjected, but only after
agreat deal of trouble and out of special
regard for the United States Govern
ment on its representation, and not in
virtue of their rights as American citi-
gems.

The letter by Prince de Joinville,
which we copy from the Boston Daily
Advertiser Of Saturday, and which is
now first given to the public, although
written in the course of private CORE
spondence and so without elaboration,
nevertheless claims attention and re-
spect for the deliberate judgments con
tanned in it upon matters of great public
interest. The writer, as our readers
know, was trained in the French navy,
and in spite of the exemption which his
birth might have secured him, devoted
himself to naval affairs as q profession.
The rank of admiral which he attained
was well earned by his mastery of the
science of naval warfare, and naval men
in both hemispheres have long sincetes.
titled their respect for his judgment and
experience in what pertains to their
special pursuit. AS q clear-sighted and
sound judge of men, we may add,
Prince de Joinville has long had q
marked place among the public men of
the day. The Princes letter will be
read with interest.
