Pending the consideration of which amend- ment— Mr. Abert moved to postpone the further consideration of the subject until Monday next. Mr. Towles moved the indefinite postpone- ment of the whole subject; decided in the negative. ‘he question then recurring on the motion of Mr. Abert, it was agreed to.

A Granp Iuprovewent.—The new store of our fellow citizens, Butt & Hopkins, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street, formed by joining to their late hand- some store-rooms the apartments in the same building so —_ oecupied as an exchange office, makes, as fitted up, just about as mag- nificent a retail establishment as graces Broad- way, in New York. This house have receat- ly imported from northern cities a stock of = such as sheuld grace the shelves of so arge an establishment of the kind in the very heart of the business po:tion of the Federal Metropolis. There is nothing conceivable in the gentlemen's furnishin; fine which they are without, and all they offer is in the very latest and most acceptable fashions, while their | sr are 0 arranged as to insure that their business will be done altogether on the old principle that—the nimble sixpence 4s better, in the long run, than the slow shil- ling. Tne Misses Dexix.—We have been in- formed that preparations are on foot to taader these ladies a complimentary benefit before they leave the city—if they will consent to stay—whieh we hope they will do for the ben- efit of themseives, a well as t -goi citizens of our city. on Meealesgoing IsTeRest To Be PAID —It wilt be the money article in another column. pgerds we call attention, that the so long deferred in- terest upon the guaranteed bonds of the Ches- apeake and Ohio Canal is now to be paid. is will be satisfactory news to the many holders of these bonds in this city. Trat Rosa.—Walking down the Avenue . ning, we were suddenly engulphed and hurried along by a crowd Bf people who were moving rapidly antt silently towards the Capitol. We supposed at firgt that the Stand- ing Committees were about to be announced, which might account for this irrestible move- ment of so large a number of people in that direction, but when they had reached the cor- ner of Four-and-a-half street, opposite SarL- LINGTON’s headquarters, the crowd suddenly halted, and with one mighty solemn voice ex- claimed, “this is the place!’ We wondered what the ever popular Colonel had done to bring down upon him such an excited throng of ples as deliberately each man, woman, and child, drew forth a pistol-like weapon (which might have been a porte-monnaie) and made a rush upon the premises, but we breathed freer as the assailants satisfied them- selves by appropriating to themselves each a beautiful Valentine, and just about this time it burst upon us that this is the eve of the ever to Le remembeygd and nevor to be for- gotten Ith of February. Discovery.—A gentleman of antiquarian research informs us that he is positive that there is a brick pavement beneath the banks of mud and ice which line the western end of Pennsylvania avenue. He thinks that it was laid for the convenience cf the pedestrians whose ‘‘daily walk” isto and from (George- town; but we think he is in error. If the public funds had been expended to lay a javement, the proper officers never would ave permitted it to remain covered with a foot or two of mud and ice. It ismore proba et 5 a relic of the invasion of Julius Cesar, when the site of this capital was christened * Rome,’’ and the stream which crosses the avenue the ‘“ Tiber.’’ Tas District 1x Coxeress.—It will be seen ‘by the Senate proceedings of yesterday that Mr. Bayard, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported a bill amendatory of the act entitled ‘An act to regulate the fees and costs to be allowed clerks, marshals, and at- torneys of the Circuit and District Courts of the United States, and for other purposes,’’ Mr. Bayard explained tho object of the bill, which was to place jurors of this District on the same footing with others of the United States Courts he prices of living here were quite as great as elsewhere, and the passage of the bill would be but a simple act of jus tice. The bill wes considered and passed. DIsruTr IN RELATION TO THE TERMS OF A Lease.—We hear that there is a contest be- tween the Indian Bureau and Mr. S. C. Bar- ney, in relation to a stable upon the premises attached tothe building on Seventh street, leased by the Bureau from Mr. Barnoy. The building only is mentioned in the lease, and Mr. B. contends that the premises are not in- cluded unless so specified in the terms of the lease. Some officers were on the ground yes- terday, on the part of both parties, and it was at one time supposed that an attempt would bave been made to take forcible possession on the part of Mr. Barney, of the premises in dispute. The matter is not yet decided. Tus Kxow Noruine Meeting last night at Forrest Hall, Georgetown, was quite 2 respect- able affair, so far as numbers was concerned. Wm. McK. Osborn was called to the chair, and Mr. Yerby was appointed secretary. 'The orators for the occasion being late, the meet- ing was addressed in the interim by Mr. Ten- ney. Mr. Kilgour, of Maryland, was loudly called for next, but declined speaking. By this time the speakers had arrived from Washington, and Hon. Mr. Ricaud, of Md , led off, and was followed by Hon. Mr. Harris, of Md.. who was succeeded by Hon. Hum- pbrey Marshall, of Ky. Hon. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, next took the stand and made the final speech. Court or Cuaims.—Yesterday, the case of Francis Guilbeau and others vs. the United States was called up for argument by the court. This is a claim against government for compensation in consequence of an order given by Col. Harney for the destruction of property in Texas to prevent its capture by the enemy. The argument in favor of the claimant was made by Mr. Rockwell, and that in behalf.of government by the Solicitor, when the case was submitted for the decision of the court, and the court adjourned. Nationat Tazatrs —The Misses Denin ap- pear to-night for the last time this season ; and though the weather looks unpromising, we predict for them a full house. They appear in Sir E. Lytton Bulwer’s play of “ Lady of Lyons,” and in the drama of “ The Wander- ing Boys.’ In the latter piece the song of ‘Our Cot ‘twas cheltered ina Wood,” bv Miss Susan Denin. - We are informed that several novelties are in active preparation, and distinguistred stars will shortly appear. Exection or Orricers.—The annual meet- ing of the Merchants’ Exchange of this city, last evening, was largely attended. The fol- lowing gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: S. Bacon, president; J. B. Dod- son, vice president; John F. Ellis, secretary ; Wm. Wall, treasurer; S. P Franklin, w Harper, John Clagett, A. E. Perry, Thomas Parker, Wm. B. Todd, Benjamin Beall, B F. Morsell, M. W. Galt, Hudson Taylor, George Burns, and C. Buckingham, board of direc- tors. Rerixep —A bypocritical Pharizee came near haviog his house burned down last night, as hia chimney caught fire, and, the shingle- roof was covere. with sparks. He knew that it was foul, yet had refused to employ a chim- ney-sweep, upon the same ground that he gauges his literary taste—because the boy was said to be smutty. GREELEY ws. Rust.—Hon. Albert Rust, of Arkansas, made his second appearance yester- day morning before Justice Moreell, in answer toa writ issued upon the affadavit of Mr. Treadwell, of New York, wherein he waa charged with an assault upon Mr. Horace Greeley. Mr Rust gave security for his ap- pearance at Court. Postronement.—The lecture on “ Foreign Travel,’ which was to have delivered this evening, for §the benefit of the r of the Fourth Ward, has been postponed until next week, on account of theinclement weather and the indieposition of the lecturer. Pumps out or Fix. —The attention of the Commissioner of the Seventh Ward is respec- tifully called to the shocking condition of the pumps in that part of the city.

Warca Returxs.—Yesterday, Wm. Pen- dail, (colored.) found drunk lying in the street; paid fine and costs. William hintay (alas!) was up again as a vagrant, and again com- mitted to the work-house. Bridget Cilay, vagrant, was committed to the work-house for thirty days. William Patterson—whose ap- pearance indicated that he might be the iden- tieal ‘ Billy Patterson’ who was “ struck’? some years ago—was sent to the work-house for thirty days. To-day, George Jones, (colored,) out after hours, fine and costs. A number of houseless mortals sought refuge at the guard-house from the cold. _—__—__~+ee--_____ Lys Law is Conxxcticur —E. M. Kel- logg, a Justice of the Peace of the town of Kent, having condemned a lot of liquor seized under the anti-liquor law Connecticut, was on the 28th ult, tarred and feathered for this discharge of duty. ‘* He was then’’ (the count runs) ‘‘ridden on a rail, here, In midday, in the land of steady habits.”’ Tas ‘‘Sxowr’’ Soura.—The editor of the “Sunny South,’ published at Aberdeen, is in a quandary as to the propriety of con’ uing longer the name of his aper; the long spell of bitter cold weather ae rendered it a decided misnomer. He has published but three weekly numbers, and has hardly gota glimpse of the sun since he started. But of snow he bas scen an abundance, and he at last dates was cogitating over the idea of changing his sheet to the Snowy South.” wen oe ee _ Ee Atacelebration of St. Andrew's So ciety, at Ontonagon, the following figured in a bill of fare under the head of game: Bea- ver’s Tail, Saddle of Caribou, Cranberry Sauce, Bear Steak, Mountain Ash Sauce; Porcupine a /a Ontonago, Waboos, Mountain Ash Sauce; Buffalo Tongue, Buffalo Rump roasted, Red Deer, Mashtum Scone.
