The manufacture of udrette has been for many years placed in the first or worst liat, and forbidden to be car- ried on near human habitations. Even when carried on by authority of the police and re- mote from dwellings, it is under certain ob- ligatfons. By recent order, the night soil must first be disinfected in the city before re- moval, and then transported in air tight 21.

The depot was to La Villette, still more northeast of The present plan of preserving the health of Paris ig as follows: The cesspoels in the city are disinfected previously, or else pumped by hose into air-tight and immense casks. These casks are hauled to Villette, and after entering the building, all apertures are closed. The night soil is then emptied into a series of ¢isterns, with an arrangement to re- Of course this is attended by a great exhalation of putrid gases, Which scmetimes escape from the cs- But these gases are destroyed An arrangement cf large subterranean pipes communicates with the forest of Bondy, six miles off, and the more fluid portion of the night soil is driven by powerful steam engine pomps through these tubes. Then, as soon as the gases arise from the emptying of the casks, 80 aspiring ventilator is set to work, which draws in the external air, and drives it, together with the noxious gases of the night soil, into the blazing furnaces of the engines, Thus the neigh- borhood is protected. When the fuid portion of the night suil has been driven to Bondy by the engines, the more solid residue is put into air-tight casks, and then by cranes hoisted into large batteaux on the canal De L’Oureq, is emptied into the cisterns at Villette, 2¢ pounds of sulphate of iron is added, as well as ove quartof impure Pyrolignerous acid for Both the old de- nfaucon and the new one of Villette are within the canton ef Pantin, to the north- The ecientific sanitary commission of the canton reported to the Prefeet of Police “that from the putrid éxhalations the canton of “Pantin is the most infected and most un- healthy canton, not only in the department of the Seine, but of the whole of France’?

They viti- usting that Men of seience can afford to be whimsical with their abstractions, but no one of common sense can be led to believe that those matters which nature casts off as ¢fete, can be healthy when taken into our lungs again in a putrid ate. All farge cities have sought to remedy this evil by large expenditures, and every scien- tific effort; at the same time, removing the depots to the greatest possible distance from We greatly fear that ours is the only city which, for an instant, would have permitted such an offensive and noxious manufacture within its Mmits, or just upon Congress or Eqresrriass.—We are soon to have a new elemeut of excitement here, calculated to share the interest even with the Messrs. Spald- ing & Rogers, who have circuses, menageries museums, South and West, on steamboats they have constructed expressly for their con- yeyance, with two companies at the North moving in the old-fashioned way on wheels, have contrived a train of railroad cars, with adjustable axles, for the transportation of the persons, horses and properties of a new eques- trian establishment they have this winter es- tablished, of colossal proportions and at enor- méus expense In giving publicity to their of covery branch of the profession, no matter at what salary, they have been so overwhelmed with applications, each claiming to be without a competitor in his particular line, that they uestion of su- together at hington in a kind of circus convention and tournament, awarding to the victor in ash prize of one hundred season’s engagement at Ix roe Senate, yesterday.

Every northern city of the population of Washington possesses such means of instant and constant cheap Communication between its several points, and we therefore see no reason whatever to anticipate its failure here. It insures the delive: a letter dropped in a box at the Navy Yard as addressed to a party in the First Ward, within an hour or two of the moment when written At present a special messenger must be sent by the writer to the residence of the party addressed, if an answer under forty-eight hours is desired; or if dropped in the city post office, it is fair to presume that it will not be called for or de- livered by a carrier in less than twenty-four hours; while it will require as much time ere the reply isdelivered We advise all to pa- tronize it, by all means. Nationau Tueatre.—Forrest’s representa- tion of ** Jack Cade”? last night was another of the dramatic successes which his engagement has afforded. To-night Mr. F. performs Mac- beth, a part which he has made peculiarly bis own. The performances conclude with the capital farce of ‘‘ My Precious Betsey.”’ Mr. Hvererr’s Appress last night, was a great success both to the delight afforded to the audience and in the amount realized for the purchase of Mount Vernon. Mr. Everett was introduced to the audience by Mr. Seaton, who stated that Mr. E. would esteem ita favor if gentleman connected with the press would abstain from reporting his address, as it was to be repeated in other cities. Peace Warrants.—Justice Morsell dis- posed of a number of cases of this kind yes- terday. The parties were mostly naturalized citizens, who reside in the Fifth Ward. The Squire, who had a dozen witnesses to ex- amine, was obliged to hear all talking (for and against) at the same moment; but he went through the cases without serious injury, and disposed of the parties according to law. Farr.—The ladies of Trinity Church con- template holding a fair at Odd Fellows’ Hall, commencing on Monday evening, the 3lst March, for the purpose of erecting a mission house on the suburbs of said parish. They will offer for sale a handsome assortment of childrens’ clothing, rich embroidery, &o., at moderate prices; likewise a good supply of re- freshments of all kinds. Mite Teresa Paropi.—We learn that this distinguished vocalist ison her way North after a tour of triumphant success, and that she will give a grand concert in this city about the middie of April. M’lle Parodi gave four- teeh concerts in New Orleans to overflowing houses The ceoncerts are given under the distinguished directorship of M. Strakosh. Tas Fae Systeu.—We are informed that the law allowing magistrates fees in certain cases is attracting the attention of members of Cor, Several justices have been called upon for information relative to the subject, and they appear to be divided in opinion as to the propriety of abolishing the system. Cross Finrx¢. —Mr. Ross and his lady had a difference yesterday, which resulted in both being taken before Justice Morsell. He was charged with ill treating her, and she with taking his candy. The Justice dismissed her end held him to bail. Sreative.—John Lullay was arrested yes- terday by officer Yeatman, for stealing a pair ot gaiter boots frpm E. W. Luke. The prisoner is a small boy, but there being no ether place in which he could be legally confined, Justice Goddard was obliged to send him to jail. Expinep.—The commissions of the follow- ing named Justices of the Peaes for the couaty of Washington have expired : Thos. C. Donn, Jas. Laurenson, E. H. Bates, Jas, Crandell, Henry Naylor, Joshua Pierce, John L. Smith, Samuel Smoot, James M. Wright, and C. H. Wiltberger Dancerovs Hastt.—Persons receiving coal should be careful to close their cellars as soon as it is deposited. Many cellars have been left open when there was no necessity, result- ing in severe injuries to several of our citi- zens. Injuries so received sometimes cause lawsuits Tae Warser in the canal is so very shallow that boats loaded with wood for the Washing- ton merchauts cannet come to the wharves. This is caused by the high winds which have prevailed for several days. Goxe to Work.—Hands are employed at Centre Market space in removing the largo heaps of filth which have accumulated during the winter. This, we are told, is used on the farm attached to the workhouse. Becears.—fhe arrival of persons of this class in our city recently has been larger than usual. Some of them are expert thieves, and when begging fails they resort to stealing. Look out for them. Wartca Retorns —The prison cells at the central guard house were empty this morn- ing. A few Teves creatures were accommo- dated with lodging. . : _ Drs. Hunter & Williams, Physicians for Diseases of the Lungs, Office 52 North Charles street, Balt. The practice of Drs Hunter & Williams is confined exclusively to the treatment of chronic diseases of the throat and lungs by Mepicatep Ismararioy, and the success that has attended their labors is sufficiently well known. It has demonstrated not only that Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh and Granular Sore Throat may be permanently cured, but that Consumption ia all its stages is acurable disease, and thatthe 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 hereafter be regarded by the profession as the only rational and scientific mode of treatment. Parties unable to visit the city will be treated by correspondence—medicines, in- haling instrument, &c., being sent to them by express. In order to obtain a proper state- ment of such cases, aform of questions has been prepared, which will be forwarded by letter.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. GzorGetown, March 28, 1855. The weather has again become freesing cold, which together with the storm which hasbeen blowing from Northwest, for several days, and the clouds of dust which are ever and anon driven through the streets by the wind, bas put quite a check upon nearly all kinds of business The plays of “‘ The Jew of Verona,”’ “The Spoiled Child,”’ &c., by the Sunday School of Trinity Church last night, attracted quite a large crowd of persons. The old church edi- fice in which the exhibition was held, was lit- erally crowded. Everything passed off in the most agreeable manner imaginable, and every person in the large audience seemed highly pleased with the manner in which the pupils one and all acquitted themselves. Several of our oldest and most citizens are now confined to their homes and beds by severe, if not serious, bodily afflic- tions. Among them, is Dr. 0 M. Linthicum, long and favorably known as one of our lead- ing druggists; Col. Poe. and Capt Levin Jones, one of the veterans of 1812, and for the last twenty years an efficient clerk in the Treasury Department. ed, yesterday, a specimen of the ite stone (dressed) taken from the quarry which has been discovered on the lands of the late John H. King. The general appearance of this stone, so far as color and texture are concerned, appears to us to be equal to, if not superior to any granite we have seen. The lands upon which the quarry is situated, are not more than half a mile from Georgetown; and, doubtless, this stone could be obtained for Government and other buildings in the District, at a much lower price than that now used. The block refe: to above can be seen at the office of Mr. A. King, on High street, near the canal bridge. Capt. Meigs would do well to call and see the specime Up to the present time, strange as it appear, there has been but one arrival by the canal, (except a few wood boats from points not over ten miles of the line,) vis the Senaca, from the Seneca Mills, with flour, &c., toMr. W. Darby. The packet boat Argo, after having to break her way through the ice (at Diffin’ reached her point of destination, Harper's Ferry, and returned again last night. She left again this morning, and will be back in time (if nothing happns) to start on her regu- lar trip Monday morning . A large number of our young friends who are fond of good singing, and anxious to un- derstand the art, intend assembling in the leo- ture room of the M. E. Church, this evening, for the purpose of forming aclass. They have secured the services of Prof. Daniels of your city, as their instructor. The foreign news of yesterday has some- what stiffened up the flour and grain markets. The former is held at $7.12a$7.25, and the latter at $1.45a$1.55 for wheat, red and white. A very prime article of white would doubtless command $1 60. Corn, white and yellow 553. Specraror. FOR THE LADIES IN PARTICULAR.
