As the ee is only twenty- five cents, as thé entertainment will one which cannot fail to delight, it is reasona- bie to antic’ a dense auditory, apart from the charit object to which the proceeds of the coneert are to be appropriated. Sansata Scuoon or West GrorgreTown Sratios.—Mr. H. G. Divine. the t has furnished us with the follo items re the last Sabbath school report of this station : Female teachers, 13; female scholars. 59; male teachers, 18; male scholars, 63—total number of teachers and scholars, 153. This szhool has not been in existence over one year, and through the benevolent labors of the teachers a legge number of interesting chil- dren, i. — tae nearly entirely negiec! in particular, are regular!: brought together syalec pont and propery in eve: rtainin i tien duties. ~ a — coo much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Speak, the superintendent, and teachers of this school, for the manifest improvement already visible the children in this section of that city. Trough the benevolence of W. H. Edes, of Georgetown, they have also a flour- ishing every day (free) school of about fifty pils. At the church forty-five persons have a taken into membership, the fruits of the revival which has been progressing for some tims. - . A Beavrtirut Toy is now on exhibition at the fancy store of Mr. Andrew Tate, Pennsyl- vania Avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. It is a musicalibox; the front repre- sents a miniature piano forte, before which stands an instructres3 and her juvenile pupil. The hand of the former (the machinery which produces the melody being in motion) beats the time, while the finger. of the latter operate quickly on the keys: and all in a lift-‘ike mar- ner. No one can fail to admire the beautiful arranzement, while desirmg to possess the work of art. It is, we learn, to be rafiled for, at a dollar each fur the twenty chances. Fiera Warp Pouce Orrice — Justice Bates.—James Gannigan, guilty of the crime of committing an assault and hha, on his wife, was held to bail for his appearance at court; Isaae and Bridget Seymour, profanity, workhouse ninety days; Mary Moore, for i similar offence, sixty days in the same institu- tion; Daniel Keenan, for an assault, held to security for peace; Patrick Eglin, (colored,) who had been amusing himself by throwing stones, fine and costs; Charles Davis, fast driving, fine and costs; John and Rosina Barry, disorderly conduct, each sent to the workhouse for thirty days. Tae Nationan Turatre, which, as we have heretofore stated, has been greatly improved in its interior, including new seats, new scenery, and new decorations, will be opened, for the season, on Wednesday evening, the third of October, under the management of Mr. Jarrett, ofthe Baltimore Museum. Among the other celebrities whom he has engaged to brighten the theatrical firmament, Fes Sic Forrest, Murdoch, Burton, Agnes Robertson, and, we hope, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence. M'tte Teresa Paropi.—This celebrated vocalist will give a grand concert at Carusi’s Saloon, on aturdzy evening, assisted by Madame Amalia Patti Strakoseh, the distin- guished contralto, and Signor Leonardi, the eminent baritone; Maurice Strakosch, a3 the director and conductor, presiding at the piano forte. The selection are such as to af- ford the several artistes an ample opportunity to display their rare and pleasure-inspiring talents To-wonrow.—A tumber of public notices have been given that, in accordance with the regommeadation of the municipal authorities toubserve to morrow as a day of fasting, hu- miliation, and prayer, various places of busi- ness will be closed. None will be transacted in the public Departments, an order having yesterday, to that effect, been approved by the President of the United States. ica pre- sent indications there will be a general cessa- tion of secular pursuits. e New Boitpree Assoctatios.—Preliminary measures were taken, on Saturday night, at Temperance Hall, to form a building a:socia- tion to “‘ wind up’’ within a definite time, in- stead of, like similar associations, ‘ running on” without regard to limitation. Informa- tion in relation to the subject may be obtained on application at the hardware store of E. Wheeler & Co. Ciry Councrts.—No quorum in the Board of Alderman yesterday, and, as @ conse quence, no business transacted. But litile legislation took pla:e in the Board of Common Council. Among other matters, a resolution was passed providing for the employment of a page at a dollar aday. Tue Stasat Mater of Rossini, it should not be forgotten, will be executed by the choir at St. Matthew's church, this evening, to be followed by an address by the Rev. oe P. Donelan; at the close of which a collection be lifted for the benefit of the Norfolk and Portsmouth eufferers. Jvuia F. Tayzor, 2 young miss. stimulated by @ generous heart, and sympathizing with the Gistressed of Norfolk ‘and Portsmouth, has co'lected nine dollars for their relief, and placed the money into our hands that wo may give it the proper direction. A Beuy. weighing twenty-two hundred pounds, cast in Troy, N. ¥., has been placed in the unfinished steeple of the Thirteenth Street Baptist church. It was rung for the first time last Sunday, and has a remarkably fine tone. ALexaxper Eoairstox, for an assault and battery on a colored servant, was, this morn- ing, at the watch-house, uired to give se- curity for his appearance iat court to answer to the charge.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Groneztown, Sept. 25, 1855, We think it likely that there will be a very general suspension of all kinds of business in our city to-morrow. The proclamation of the Mayor, which is in and of itself quite a ser- mon for such an occasion, seems to meet with the approbation of all classes. There will be services in each one of our churches at the = hour. e would advise those men who are the habit of gathering about the West A town chureh, for the purpose of annoying the con ion while e in religious wor- ship, to desist at once from their very disrep- utable conduct. We can assure them that, although no attempt bas been made to arrest any of them, their names have been obtained, and that it is the intention of the officers of the church to lay their conduct before the grand jury, at its next meeting, unless a stop 18 put to it at once. ‘he flour market continues firm and active at $7.874a$8. The stock on hand and the ar- rivals continue limited. Wheat is coming in quite freely, and prices have advanced from 5 to 10c. since our quotations of Saturday; good to prime red $1. 1 80, good to prime white $1.80a$1 85; sales yesterday of 2,000 bushels, from boat, at the last figures. Corn, 85083. No oats offering. Spectator. The Epidemic in Worfolk and Portsmouth. The epidemic is rtill raging fearfully in Nor- folk and Portsmouth. On Saturday, in the first named place, there were 52 deaths, and in the last named 26. A letter from Norfolk says: 1 am sorry to inform you that the fever sti! rages in some sections of our city. There are very many cases on Smith’s Point, and in the northern portion of the town. It is now lurk- ing out in the suburbs, and entering almost every house on the upper part of Church street, and on Cumberland, Queen, James and other streets. The disease is exceedingly fatal and rapid, more so than formerly. Many who have been taken since the commencement of he week, are dead and buried. But the scourge must, I think, ere long, terminate its terrible and unsparing march, for there will soon be but few remaining citizens to attack Hundreds, I may almost say thousands, have died, and many have recovered. The fiercest rage of the fell conqueror is over, and its vic- tims sleep in the grave, while many have sur- vived the scathing effects of the monster, ex- i: the unmistakable marks of the con- Act. There are many deaths and a large number of cases not reported. Numerous children and servants are suffering with the fever—the lat- ter, many of them, have it but slightly, and rezover in about ten days, while others die. A letter from Portsmouth mentions the death of Miss Mary Totterdell, Merritt Parsons, Jere- mish Whitmore, Wm. Lingo, Mrs. Butner, and Mrs. John Outten. The keeper and clerks of the charity store = as busy as sie eaing ost to the necdy the provisions so kindly sent by our sister citics of both North and South. i . _ Our ex-Mayor H.
