The exhibits them in the saloon over Farnbam’s bookstore, corner of Pennsylvania averne and Eleventh street. Many ladies and gentlemen were there this morning to witness the ele- gant display; the catalogue explaining the different subjects on the canvass, and the names of the various artists. The forest, the sea, lomestic life, and events recorded in the Scriptures and in profane history, kil - fally and imposingly di these representations the eve loves to linger. Befides, there arg heads of distinguished men, such as Bonaparte, the Duke of Marlborough, of Admiral Penn (the father of Wm Penn,) and others of eminence. Jacob and Rachel at the Well, the Death of Dido. Shylock and Jessica, Roadside Inn. Sam Weller, the Birth of Capid, View in Swi'zsrland, and the expul- sion of Sg:an, are among the mapy truly ad mirable paintings. ° A Commotion.—A horse at tho Centre Mar- ket, this morning, forgetting the propriety due to his condition, and oblivious of a decent respect for the human beings a:eombled atthe great mart, was guilty of the cifence of mak ing in unceremontious departure; and, on a proaching alamp-post—whether accidentally or by design was not satisfactori!y determined —linked the wheel of the b: gzy to which he was attached to the aforesaid iron upright; smashing the glass ia the lamp by the violent concussion. Itis almost needless to say there was a sudden, alarmiog movement of market baskets and tin krtiles; the carriers of those articles of domostic necessity; each for him self and herself, hurrying out of the way of danger. The horse by bis extraordinary per- Sormancer, broke loose fiom his gearing, but was secrred before hecompleted 2 sories of feats which might have resulted in more se- rious consequences To show the cifest of the bad exemple, westate that other horses, be- coming restive, began to chafe in their straps, and bad tobe firmly hetd to prevent them combining for a stampece Tas June Term of the Criminal Coeri will becommenced on Monday nex: Among the cases which will probably be tried, is that of a gentleman of Buffalo, who, ceveral years age, was charged with obtaining money under false pretences from « banking-house of this city: and of George Razlen, « necro, who, a short time since. murdered a man rassed Fits patrick. Judging from tho past, the usual number of cares of petty Isrceny, assaults, and assaults and batteries, will, at the ensa- ing term, engage the attenti n of the court. | [tis to be regretted that there is uo tribunal in Waehington which admits of the last named el f offencos being summarily adjadicated; but we trust that this defect will be remedied by the improvement of the laws; provision for which was made by the last Congress, and ea which work the codi 2 Dow engaged.
