Mr. Eprror: Your theatrical correspond- ent of yesterday has expressed a wish to learn the “ Bpestator’s” opinion of Miss Agnes Rob- ertson. His verylaudable and natural de- sire may be gratified by reference to a critique on her style of acting, published in the ‘‘Spec- tator” during her first engagement here this winter. Whether we are, or are not, entitled to the prerogatives of “Sir Oracle,’’ it is not for us to judge. Our opinions have always been candidly expressed ; and criticism, after all, can only be a matter of opinion. It is well to remember, however, that the appreciative power of some auditors may be as small as the merit of some performers. M. B. Cy Surveyor; referred to claims committee. he joint resolution asking of Congress the wer to issue stock to erect Centre Market uilding was then taken up, and passed, (as mentioned in our report in yesterday’s Star ) The following are the yeas and nays upon the passage of the joint resolu'ion : Yeas— Messrs. AtLee, Baldwin, Ball, Fisher, Lloyd, McCutchen, McKean, Peters, Pum- brey, Towlez, Venable, Walker, and the Bresident—13. Nays—Mess:s_ Abert, Bayne, Jefferson, Orme, Reff, and Turton—6. Mr. Lloyd introduced a joint resolution in relation to the Long ay which was read three times and passed. It is as follows : Jou? Resourtioy in re’a ion to the L sng B.idge. Whereas it is manifest, from the proceed- ings of the United States Congress, that cer- tain members of that body have been led into error in aseribing to the construction of the Potomac bridge on its present site the exis- tence of the “‘ flats’’ in the Potomac river, and the consequent interruption of navigation and roduction of disease ; and whereas certain interested parties have designedly led these gentlemen into the above error from selfish and sinister motives, there being abundance of evidence to prove that the ‘ flats’’ existed before the construction of the bridge. and that the present structure has not increased the evil: And, further, that Congress, by a series of legislation, commencing in 1808 and extend- ing upwards of forty-four years, evidenced clearly the design to make the present route of the bridge perpetual. it being the most convenient, direct mail route north and south: And, further, that the destruction of the bridge would be the most serious injury to the interest of cur community, to the exten- sive and increasing population of the adjoin- ing States, and to the public generally. There- fore, Be it resolved, §:., That the joint commit- tee appointed to represent the interests of the Corporation before Congress be instructed to lay before that body the facts in relation to the above, and at the same time appeal to the justice of Congress and the claims of the peo- ple of this metropolis to have the bridge re- tained and maintained on its present site. The resolution from the Aldermen author- izing the Mayor to test the practicability of deodorizing the night-soil, &c , Was taken yp and passed. The Board then adjourned. Witp Goosz Caase —We were a little sur- c= last night to meet a young gentleman unting for his wife. Several years ago he was on the chase for her, and finally canght her and tied her in the bonds of matrimony Now she has escaped from her bonds, and is playing at ‘‘ hide and seck’’ with him. We think he had as well try to find ‘‘a needle in @ hay stack’’ asthelady in Washington The advice given by one of the guards to ‘* let her go,’’ met with his approval, ard he went home to mind the little ones. Nationa, TaeatRe.—An attractive bill is afforded at the National to-night. Miss Agnes Robertson appears as Leander in the musical piece of “ The Invisible Prince,”’ and sustains five different characters in ‘‘The Young Ac- tress.”” i nilrle da pears in the side-splitting character of Pillicoddy, in the dapital ies of that name. Exias Lomax was arrested yesterday by officers Fanning and Stewart and taken be- fore Justice Clark for assaulting the house ef Teresa Ferguson and breaking the door ; also for destroying a lot of oysters belonging to George Williams. After hearing the Sesti- mony, the Justice made Elias give security for better behavior in future. The parties were colored. Assavct and Batrery.—Last night a young man went to the guard house, and complained that he bad been seriously beaten by one Pat rick Kelly. The complaint was a long one, and included the loss of a pocket book and twenty-seven dollars. Kelly came ina short time after, and voluntarily placing himself in the hands of the officers, had his case set for trial to-day. Coxrirugep.—The Senate have confirmed the following gentlemen who have been re- nominated to be justices of peace for the Dis trict of Columbia, viz: Hamilton Loughbo- rough, Geo. W. Riggs, jr, ZK. Offutt,C W. C. Dunnington, and §. H. Huntin ton, Esqs. Their new commissions bear date March 25th, Jurors is THE District or Conumaia.—In the House of Representatives, on Monday, Mr H. Marshall, of Ky., asked the consent of the House to more to take from the Speaker's table Senate bill amendatory of an act er- titled “‘An act to regulate the fees and costs to be allowed clerks, marshals, and attorneys in the circuit and district courts of the United States, and for other pu ” Heexplained that the jurors who serve in the several States receive a compensation of two dollars per day; and that when the act was passed in- creasing their pay by some reason or other the District of Columbia was not embraced. The only object of the bill was to give the jurors serving in the courts here the compen- eation allowed to the jurors of the Federal courts in the several States. As the term of the Circuit Court for this District commenced this morning the bill should he disposed of at once. Mr. Letcher, of Virginia. objected to ne motion of the gentleman from a ~ bill in regard to the fees and costs to be al- lowed marshals and clerks was passed by the House in 1853, which he at the time opposed, but which was ferced upon the House under operation of the previous question. The ef- feet of that bill had been to lead to such gross abuses in all the United States courts that the Comptroller of the Treasury and the Secre- tary of the Integior now suggested the neces- sity of a revision of its provisions, for the pur- pose of arresting the a squandering that was constantly going € was op- sed to the cansbbarntion of ‘the bill named y the gentleman because he desired thaf re- vision made; and the House would see the parecer of some revisory measure when he informed them that in twelve months time the expenses of the district courts of the United Eax.y last nizht the gas lights on the Av- enue, above the Prosident’s Mansion, expired almost instantly. Those in the central por- tion of the city gave but a feeble light at a later hour. It was thought that some acci- dent had occurred at the works which caused ‘the turning off of the gas. Somztaixe Burnt —Last nigkt, about 11 o’clock a fire in the woods, on tho Virginia shore of the Potomac, attracted the at‘ention of the pedestrians on the avenue. All agreed as to its location, but were divided in opinion as bo what it was. It burnt steadily for near an hour. Lectere.—Rev. Andrew B. Cro:s, who has figured somewhat extensively in Baltimore as a controversialist, lectures at Temperance Hall to-night, it will bo seen, ongthe Convent system. H.C. Pury offers some superior segars, tobacco, and snuff at his establishment on Pennsylvania avenue, near Third street. Give him a call. Warcu Retunys.—The only cage disposed id of at the central guard house this morn- ing was George Miller, drunk; workhouse thirty days, George promised ‘yesterday to leave the city. He tried, but after traveling afew minutes, had to return to get a drink aud sec his old friends. MARRIED, States had run up from $706,000 to a million In Baffalo on the 2d 1 of dollars. There was at the present timo | smith, Dr. CHARLES L HA&VON S Mies. AB: before the Committee of Ways and Means a deficiency of $200,000, in addition to the $500,000 appropriated last year, to meet the expenses between this and the 30th of June next. Mr. Marshall explained that the only ob- ject of the bill was to render the compensa- tion of jurors in this District equal to that re- ceived by the jurors in the several States. Mr. Letcher replied that one of the com- plaints made by the Comptroller of the Trea- sury and the Seeretary of the Loterior was in regard to the expenses of the judiciary of this District, which were indeed enormous. Mr. Marsha!l moved a suspension of the Tules so ag to enable him to obtain the con- sideration of the bit; but the motion did not prevail Tar Gas Question—Taz Baines Quzes- tion, &c —We invite our fellow citizens of all parties (to them) interested in the termi- nation of the questions named above, now before Congress or the City Councils. to resort to the Star asa medium for bringing their Views to the notice of the members and tho citizens of the District of Columbia, which we Will insert at our usual advertising rates.
