Avaxampan, March 8, 1856, Thanks to the brisk northwester of Wed- nesday, the navigable portion of the Potomae has become more extensive, allowing some of the ice-bound vessels to get up, and giving a more business-like aspect to our harbor. Last night; the seventh lecture of the Alex- andria Library course came off atthe Lyceum Hall, The lecturer, R. M. Smith, Esq , of the Sentinel. made his dedut before an Alex andria audience, in an able discourse on “Our country—its ‘sical and social charac- teristics conside: as incentives to patriot- ism.” The audicnce was a fine one, and the lecture well received. About midnight on Wednesday, during the high wind, a frame stable, owned by Stephen Shinn, at the south end of Royal street, was set on fire by an incendiary, and, during the Progress of the flames, a frame tenement, the property of Wm. Fowle, was also fired, both uildings were entirely’ consumed before the firemen reached the ground. No insurance. At the same time two other incendiary efforts EVENING STAR.

You go about doing good, li htening, as it were, and freshening the soil akeat the flowers of life.’ Remember Mr. Dempster’s concert on Monday evening. tleman would remain under the curse of a dis- agreeable breath when by using the ‘Balm of a@ Thousand Flowers’’ as a dentrifice would not only render it sweet but leave the tecth white as alabaster? Many persons do not know their breath is bad, and the subject is 8o delicate their friends will never mention it.

Al these great instruments have stands, with clock work so moving the telescope as to neutralize the diurnal motion of the earth, which would otherwise cause a star to disap- pear too rapidly from the field. The making of the object glass, upon which so much de. pends, is a labor of great care and nicety, and costs just one-halt of the entire expense of the telescope. GQ WANTS.

Hunter & Williams is confined exclusively to the treatment of chron- ic diseases of the throat and lungs by Medica- ted Inhalation, and the success that has at- tended their labors is sufficiently well known: it has demonstrated not only that Bronchiti , Asthma, Catarrh and Granular Soré Throxt may be permanently cured, but that Con- sumption in all its stages is a curable disease, and that the direct application of remedies, by means of inhalation, to the seat of the malady, instead of giving ‘them by the stomach, (always over-taxed and delicate in these diseases,) must herafter be regarded by the profession as the only rational and scien- tific mode of treatment. Parties unable to visit the city may be treated by correspondence—medicines, inha- ling instrument, &c., bein t to them by express. In order to obtain a proper state- ment of euch cases, a form of questions has — prepared, which will be forwarded by etter.
