Boteler, $69 each. —— of others ranging from $5 to $20 each. Mrs. E. H. Pexpietox.—This so liberal and popular Washington lady is not passing through Europe unheralded, it seems. We quote from a northern exchange an account of her visit to the Pope at Rome, which will be read with scarcely less interest by our fellow citizens generally than by her own especial protegees, the gallant “ Columbias,”’ of Capi- tol Hill: “ Bedini. last month, presented to the Pope Mrs. E. H. Pendleton, of Washington, and Mrs. M. L. Barr, the daughter of the lament- ed Senator Limp, of Missouri. Cardinal An- tonelli first reeeived the ladics as expected guests, and with great cordiality devoted his attention to them, in the most varied and pleasing manner; he showed them, amongst other things, the most superb specimens of marble, brought from every part of Europe, and the rarest collection of precious stones, in- eluding a black diamond ; a crystal case of antiques of various kinds was examined and greatly admired by the ladies, who expressed their pleasure at this distinguished evidence of the Cardinal's attention. A signal from the chamberlain announced his Holiness as ready to admit the party. The Pope stood near a table, at the end of the long room, robed in a dress of white, with crimson slip- ers, on which sparkled the golden cross. 5 jodini introduecd the ladies to the Holy Fa- ther. as Americans ; he gave his hand to them, while a warm, bencvolent smile, played over his expressive face, as he weleomed them to Rome. On taking leave, kis Holiness said he ave the hism espezial blessing, and again prof- fered his hand. jire,’’ a beautiful Sexpay Amvsements.—Our city, usually quiet on the Sabbath day, is beginning to be pestered by lawless youngsters from other Cities, who come here expecting to practice their belligerent science without feeling the hand of the law. In addition to these Sabbath day emigrants, 2 rumerous body of * cent- ante” gamblers oceupy the unguarded public squares, and lose their fips, but claim to be well rewerded by getting drunk. These go to their homes at night, bawling and screamii to the great annoyance of the peaceably in- elined. One row came off in an alley, usually called Soap alley, situated between Sixth and Seventh streets, near G@. Some of the party were arrested, but being least in fault were let go. Another came off in the eastern section of the city. What was the cause, or who the parties were, we have not learned. Court or Ciaims.—Additional attorneyscon tinue to be admitted to practice in this court. A question having been raised on Friday as to whether the solicitor or the counsel for the Petitioners rhould hold the affirmative on a demurrer, the court resolved that the opening and closing belonged to the solicitor. The court also resolved that a brief in such cases Would not be required. The court announced the following modifiea- tion of the second rule: That the pgtition, be- fore being filled by the clerk and entered in his general docket, must be sworn to by the claimants, or, where there is more than onc claimant, by one of them, or, in either case, by fume credible person. Asoruzr Ropezny.—Saturday night or Sur§ day morning, some persons entered the tailor- tug establishment of Mr. E. C. Eckloff, on Pennsylvania avenue, near Ninth street, and robbed it of about two hundred and fifty dol- tars’ worth of clothing, finished and unfinished, aad of other valuable goods. The robbers likewise entered the cigar-store adjoining, and helped themselves extensively to all they could lay handson. They obtained ingress to the latter (kept by a nephew of Mr. Eckloff) through the door of the partition dividing the two establishments. The rogues must have Operated by me of a false key, or a loek- Pick. No clue has been obtained as to their Persons or whereabouts. Firewas’s New Har.—There was shown to Us, this morning, a handsomely painted fire- man’s hat; the work executed by Mr. John O'Brion. Or the front is the representation of an eagle, holding in his beak a flowing feroll. rel, with gilt letters composing the Words “Western Hose Company,’ and in an oval enclosure the figure 1. On the back of the hat are the words * Justice to All,”” 1855; and on the crown a delicate gold wreath, the Mitials of the nar t wher of the article to be inserted within it. The hat is painted deep clarct color, with a narrow band, in Beld, above the rim.

The seene is well earricd out, without being crowded with detail. “Jacob and Laban,”’ painted by Nicholas Poussin. This is, indeed, a splendid gallery pisture—the figures being painted with grace andease. One of the pictures (a shepaerd) seems to stand off the canvass. Tho compo- sition is truly fine. Many additions have been made, which will be found worthy of attention, and we learn the whole will be sold without reserve. The en ravings, comprising over 1,000, very rare and beautiful, will repay a visit. They were collected by one of the first connoisseurs of America, the late E. D. Graham, of Phila- de’ phia.

Tae List or Premivus distributed, on Sat- urday last, at the Academy of the Visitation, Convent Place, the Rev. J. B. Byrne dispens- ing them, will be found in our columns this afternoon. ‘The institution is highly popular with our citizens, and therefore everything connected with its proceedings must prove of interest. Tue Funerat Services attending the death of Charles B. Masi, an amiable and respected youth, in the fifteenth year of his age, were celebrated this morning, in St. Matthew's Chureh. The Scott Guard, of which he was a member, attended in undress uniform. This is the third death in the corps within the past year. Farse Pretences.—A negro has been de- tected in getting groceries under false prc- tences, but has not been arrested. He would go to stores, order a large quantity of guods in the name of some distinguished person, and direct that they be sent to the house, not for- getting to relieve the porter of his task by hizm- self walking off with as much as he could carry. Lost Cuip.—A little girl, named Iriana Marshall, was missed this morning about 12 o'clock. She is about six years of age, and was dressed in black, with a leghorn flat trimmed with black. Any one taking her to the dry-goods store of Wm. M. Shuster & Co. will conter a favor upon her father, Thomas Marshall. * Corporation Cases.—The following cases were disposed of by Justice Bates: George MeDella and Sam Ford, drunk; workhouse 60 days; George Juniman selling liquor ou Sun- day; fined $10 and costs ; Amanda Roby, open profanity; fine and costs; John Clark, and Jo- seph Jenning, bathing in the canal; workhouse seven days ; Mary Custis, drunk in the streets; workhouse sixty days; Owen Magec, selling liquor without license; case dismissed.

The following business was had under con- sideration by our City Councils on Friday last : Mr. Osborne obtained a suspension of the rules to enable him to propose a message to the Board of Aldermen, in relation to a joint meeting of the two Boards for the election of two persons to assist in codifying the laws cf the District. Mr. Bangs, from the committee on streets, reported back, without amendment, an ordi- nance from the Board of Aldermen providing for opening and improving Sccond alley from High to Congress streets, accompanied by re- monstranees against said improvement from Jos. N. Fearson, John Marbury, trustee of the heirs of John Carter, Philip Gormley, and others; and the same was rejected Mr. Bangs, from the same committee, re- ported back, without amendment, a bill from the Board of Aldermen forthe improvement of a part of North street; passed and signed. r. Bangs, from the same cmmmittee, to whoin was referred a memorial of sundry citi- zens residing on Market street, reported an ordinance providing for the improvement of the fuotways on the cast side of said street, from Bridge to Fourth street; passed both Boards Also, resolution providing for certain foot- ways; which was laid over, the third reading being objected to by Mr. Welch. Mr. Bangs, from same committee, reported back, with sundry amendments, bill from the Board of Aldermen providing for the introduc- tion of gas into our streets ; which was passed, and the amendments being concurred in by the Board of Aldermen, it was signed. Mr. McCan, from the committec on police, reported back Aldermen’s bill in relation to swine, with the recommendation that it do not pass. The recommendation was concurred in. Afterwards a motion to recoasider was carried, and the bill will be taken up again on next Friday evening. . Mr. McCan, from the same committee, to whom was referred a resolution in relation to dogs, offered by Mr. Edes some two weeks a reported back the same with the recommenda- tion that itdo not pass. The recommendation after some discussion was rejected, and the resolution passed. ‘ x Mr. Myers, from the committee on claims, re-reported a bill appropriating $200 for the beneht of Lewis Smith, which was passed and transmitted to Board of Aldermen. wll Mr. Osborn presented the claim of William Jewel, amounting to $303 50, for services ren- dered the Corporation, &c., referred to thecom- mittee on claims. A message was received from the Mayor, covering ‘te aceount of Wm. H. Tenny, for $14 91, and S. Boots, Corporation Surveyor, for services rendered, amounting to $100; re- ferred to committee on claims Mr. Eiles offered a resolution, whieh was passed, 4 are Robert Ould, David Eng- lish and Evan Lyons, Esqs., Commissioners to represent the stock held by our Corporation ~ DE oe Pies 5 in all the mectings of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. Mr. Edes, from the committee on commeree, reported an ordinance appropriating $1,000 for deepening the channel ef the Potomac rvor. which was passed ; and Mayor Addison, W.H.

The Beard of Aldermen passed a bill appre- ciating $24.50 for the benefit of John M. teler; also, bill for the reliefof R. P. Dodge; referred to appropriate committees of the council. A message was received from Board of Al- dermen in reply to message of council, in re- lation to the election of codifiers, declining to accede to the propositions contained in the same. A petition signed John Darnes, president of Star company, was read, requesting that per- mission be grantod to boys to run to fires, with an sls spel provided at their own expense : re- fe Mr. Myers offered a resolution, which was passed, asking the Mayor to furnish the coun cils certain information in relation to the sale &c., of the proporty. known as the tobacco warehouse. Both boards then adjourned. An ugly fraeas occurred on Saturday night, at a house on Water street, occupied by an in- dividual by the name of Causecn, which re- sulted in two or three of the parties concerned in it being badly wounded. It appears that Causeen, anticipating an attack, had OS made himself with weapons for self-defence. When his assailants arrived, they forcibly entered his premigcs, and as tiey came in, lie struck a young man, named Hilliary Hutchings, with an axe or axe-handle, which felled him to the floor. He then inflicted a wound upon him with a knife, which his attending physician, pe sel thinks is almost certain to prove atal. Quite a large company went with the Vigi lant Fire Company, this morning. on their ex- eursion to the White House Pavilion, on board the fine steamer George Washington. Probably the oldest person in our community never saw such an abundant supply of fine veg- etables of every description in our market, as was there on Saturday last. and prices we are please to say, have come down to a reasonable standard. One of the most important articles, potatoes, have fallen in price from $2 50 to $1. Cabbages, beets, &c., there is no end to them, and at prices as low as any one could ask them. No change in the flour or grain market since our last. Srecrator. i> Syphilis, Scrofula and Diseased Blood.
