The hall, last night, was crowded to overflowing. The three sister cities, Washington, Alexan- dria, and Georgetown, were largely repre- sented. There were about sixty persons from the former place, including the Ninth street 3iethedist Protestant church choir, whose ul-stirring strains entertained the audience st delightfully Professor Richards will deliver a lecture this evening, interspersed with a number of very beautiful chemical experiments. On to- inorrew evening an address will be delivered by Mr. George Ott Wunder, and several very beautiful tableau scenes will be presented. The distinguished artist Mr. McLeod will re- main im attendance to conduct thie branch of the entertainments. We advise every one who can obtain a conveyance to be sure to be 1 nt this evening, or to-merrow evening, if possible Tus Opp Fetiows’ Levee —Thehold which this benevolent Order bas upon the sympathy and affections of the people is demonstrated by the success which, we learn, has attended the efforts of the Levee Committee to supply attractions of an extra order upon Monday } night next. Distinguished speakers have an- nounced their san te to be present on the oceasion ; and some of the best vocalists of the city have promptly responded to the invita- tion to be present and to supply what in their fine may be needed to complete the enjoy- ments of the evening; and from other quar- ters, a like hearty response bas been received, fo that the overflowing success of the Levee may be considered fully guaranteed It will be best for those proposing to attend, a to secure tickets at once, as the number is to be limited to the capacity of the hall, so as to secure ample enjoyment for those present. Two Niewrs ore or tar Orera Trours.— It will gratify the host of Miss Pyne’s admi- rers to learn that this talented and accom- | plished artist remains here two days longer.

It will keep Mr. Ford busy to please the Wa: gton play-goers in future. i vherche bills of fare this week, cannot well be followed with more ‘* lentel entertainments.’’ Lut, from the underlining in his advertise- mest, we find that be is dotetindned to con- , tinue catering for them acceptably. Ovrox Hatt.—What with Shillington’s ex- tensive alterations and improvements, and stil more recently the general overhauling and superb Stting up which Wiesenfeld & Co. e given their establishment next door te Shillington’s, the Odeon building has become oue of the most noticeable and attractive lo- ties of the metropolis Wiesenfeld & Co. have just laid in a stock of clothing to corre- spond with the extent and beauty of their new ee and this stock, a affords in its infinite variety = sure fit for all ages and siges, is sold at so quite as satisfactory to #he purchaser ass the fit and beauty of the gou@s.

Anton Sackee, of Wiscon- sin, was arrested last night by some citizens and taken to the guard house for security. He is evidently insane, and at times danger- ous. Ho says he is a bishop, a magician, and a senator; and an insult offered to him, in either character is eufficient to induce him to retaliate immediately. He was neatly clad when taken to the guard house, where the officers had some difficulty in confining him. This morning he was sent to jail; and in brioging him from the cells at the station, it was discovered that he had torn up all his best clothing during the night.

Hint, Esqg.: You do not respond to the interrogatories I addressed you relative to your feelings and conduct towards the American party about twelve months since, but by your silence you give an im- plied admission to the facts intimated. Let it be known, then, to all the citizens of Wash- ington, that not many months since, Silas H Hill did, in the presence of friends, express dissatisfaction and disgust towards the Ameri ean party ; characterizing its members as a band of ruffians, amongst whom he did not feel himeelf s: and that, entertaining these opinions, he prepared for publication his with- drawal from the order; but from want of moral herve, or from personal aspirations connected with his present political candidacy, he did not present it. Notwithstanding this, he now presents himself as the representative of the men and pesneipies he at that time ao bitterly contemned hat a heavy moral responsi- bility devolves upon the man who allows him- self to be used for purposes which he knows to be venal, and for the political aggrandise- ment of individuals whom he has declared to be base and degraded.
