Nationa Tasatre.—The thrilling nation- al drama of ‘‘ Horse Shoe Robinson,” will be performed to-night for the third time. Great pains have been taken in putting this piece properly on the stage, with a most powerful cast, and effective accessories of scenery, ccs- tumes, and appointments. The incidents which illustrate the suffering and the daring achieve ments of the Southern partizan leaders, in the War of Revolution, are of a most exciting character, and create nightly a degree of en- thusiasm rarely surpassed in the performance of any play. i The performances commence with “ Robert Macaire,’’ in which Jefferson will be apt to make something of the richly comical part of ** Jaeques Strop.’’ More Youxa Rosues —Last night Officer Wollard arrested a little boy named Wm. Harrod, for being concerned in! breaking into and robbing various stalls in the market houses. This little fellow is about eleven years of age ; but we are informed that this is not his first appearance before a magis- trate upon charges of this description. If we remember rightly, he was in the county jail during the last term ef the Criminal Court The witness against him is a little boy about bis age, who describes the attempts made to enter different stalls, and the robbery of Ham- ilton’s stall, and the variety stand in the upper market. He also described the persons wao were engaged in the robbery with Har- rod. Harrod was sent to jail. Court or Cxatws —Yesterday, Shattuck Hartwell, Esq., of Cincinnati, was appointed a commissioner to take testimony to be used in this court. Charles W. Blincoe, Esq., of Alexandria, was admitted to practise as an attorney of this court. The argument in the case of Jacob Bigelow, administrator of Caznau, vs. the United Statese, was resumed in behalf of government by the Solicitor, who was followed, in favor of claimants, by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, who concluded his rematks, and the case was sub- — for the decision of the court. Adjourn- ed. STEALING anv Arrest.—Yeaterday a col- ored man named Joe Jenkins, was arrested by Officer Davidson for receiving stolen goods; and Mrs. Curtis. 2 white woman for stealing them from Mrs. Dillon, by whom she hed been employed. The examination of these eases, before Justice Daniel Smith disclosed adegree of degradation rarely known in this commu- nity. The details are not proper for publica- tion, and we will only say that both were sent to jail by Justice Smith. Rospeny.—A young man went to the guard house last night, and stated that he had been robbed while in the city. He described the person he had suspected, and be learned by telegraph that the thief had been arrested in Maryland. He was awaiting a requisition, but was doubtful whether he ead money enough to pay for his lodgings while in the city Upon searching bis pockets he wil- lingly enough withdrew his request for lodg- ing in the guard room, and departed to search for a more comfortable chamber. Tue Exercises at Munder’s Festival last night were beautifully porformed, and we can only regret that the driving rain prevented many from attending who were designing so to do, and who were thus deprived of what all who were present must have felt to be a great pleasure. The sight of so many beautiful children collected together was delighful in it- self, but more so, when, as on this occasion they performed the graceful evolutions of the even- ing dressed in costumes of cheerful yct deli- cate colors appropriate to the bright gay epring-time. Decorine ann KipnaprinG.—A colored wo- man named Winnie Jefferson was arrested last night as an accessory to the decoying away and kidnapping of a soa colmmed girl named Hope Aun Homesbury. itnesses were ex- amined who stated that a kind of courtship was carried on by the young girl and a certain white man, who, it was said, was the com- panion of a fugitive married woman a few weeks since. The girl and this man left the city in a buggy, and Winnie was charged with decoying her off. The case was laid over for the present Seventa Warp Anti-Kxow Noruinc Merte eS ee the inclemency of the weather, Potomac Hail was crowded last night by the voters of the Seventh Ward. Speeches were made by Samuel G. Flood, Esq , Dr. Wm, B. ruder, and F. McNerhany, Esq., and received with great applause. Many o1 our Know Nothing friends were present, and We trust will profit by the wholesome truths which were told the: Ls the several speakers. Waar was tue Cause ?—Last night, s short time previous to the attempt to burn Mr Hunsberger’s stable. cries and screams, ap- pestadly fom a female, were heard in the vi- cinity talarmed the neighbors, who went out of their bouses to ascertain the cauge. A short time after the fire broke out and was extinguished. Was this screaming to attract attention from the spot? or, wag it caused by some drunkard whipping his wife, as on a former occasion ? Fireman's Funerat.—We notice this morn- ing that the flags on the engine houses belong- ing to the Fire Department, were hulf masted aga token of respect to the memory of Mr. Benjamin Grenup, who came to bis death by the accident on Monday night last. Mr. Grenup was a young gentleman who was high- ly esteemed a a very large circle of acquaint ances in Washington © was a member of the Columbia Fire Company. Tuz Kecivent.—At a moeting of the offi- cers of the volunteer regiment, last night, it was decided to parade on the last Mon ay in this month, in the afternoon. [t was also agreed to form an encampmert at as early a period the present season as convenient. The committee to make arrangements for the en- campment consists of Major Bacon, Adj. Ober, and Capt. Peck. Oxy twenty cents a hundred for fine buff adhesive envelopes. For ssle at Alexander herve 8, Seventh street, opposite the a ice, ARRESTED.—Yesterday the officers succeed- ed in arresting Frank Rounds, colored, who is charged with assault and battery with intent to kill Mace Slater, colored, at the dance at Dr. Haw’s farm Monday night. ‘He isin jail awaiting a final hearing before a magistrate. Three colored men who were present at the time were arrested also and are in jail for a further hearing Ixcexpiarisu —Last night an attemph aa made to burn a stable in the Northern ties belonging to Mr. Hunsberger. It was discovered and extinguished before serious demage was done. About 11 o’clock, a stable situated on Eight near, L street, and belonging to Mr. Adams was burned by some incendiury. The horse and carriage was saved. The loss is not very heavy. THE GENTLEMAN who called on Charles H. Anderson two weeks since for important pa pers belonging to Churles Mahon, Esq., can procure the same by calling on Mr, Anderson with McSpedon & Baker, Stationers, 402 D street, between Sixth and Seventh. * a Si ineds: v8 that the most igacninie® eath possi! for an iring you TO, who is panting to write his name high upon the scroll of fame, is to be shot by mistake for awild turkey. re Sraping —Wm.
