Tue Liest Israntry Excursion Yester- pay —As was naturally to have been expected the excursion trip given by the Infantry yes- terday, was handsomely carried out, and most thoroughly enjoyed by all who were so lucky as tobe present. The amplest arrangement was made by the Infantry hr the comfort and convenience of the excursionists by the pro- viding of a morning ard afternoon boat on the down trip, and also two return trips, a boat leaving the White House at 6 p. m., and an- otherat9p m. A more delightful day could not have been picked from the three hundred and sixty-five of the year; the air being de- lightfully cool after the rain, and all nature decked in its gayest colors, as if in honor of the occasion. Arrived atthe White House, the excursionists set about enjoying them- selves, according to their different tastes. Es- puta’s fine band was of course brought into fan requisition in the dancing saloon; the bowling-alley had its devotees; the swings were freighted and exercised to their utmost capacity; while other parties seated them- selves in the grassy glades of the forest, and made the old woods ring with vocal melodies With so many opportunities for happiness it would be strange if each person present did not find something enjoyable, as indeed was demonstrated by the unwillingness with which the summons to go on board on the final re- turn trip wasobeyed. Long live the Infantry, and when they next do sail abroad may we be there to see! By the way, we would advise the managers of contemplated excursion parties to provide themselves in advance with the wherewithal to pay the boat companies, ag it seems in con- sequence of some delinquencies on the part of excursion parties in times past, the captains of the boats are now instructed to levy for pay before the service is completed Such a de- mand was made yesterday by Captain Corson when the boat reached Alexandria, but luck- ily the Infantry managers had the means abundantly forthcoming to liquidate in ad- vance. Other excursionists might not be so well provided, hence this caution Nationay Toearre.-—Mrs. Farren was greeted with warm approbation by the dis- criminating audience assembled at the Na- tional last night Inthe new drama of Peg Woffington, adapted from Reade’s novel of that name, she made a great hit, and we think the management would do well to have the psy repeated. Az Jane Shore, Mrs. Farren as always been considered as having no su- perior, if an equal, upon the atage, and her rendition of the part last night was given with that carefulnces of delineation, by which she has made the part so wholly her own. To-nigut she appears as Lucretia Borgia, in which character we think no living actress approaches her. ours, but we are aware that it has hosts of ad- mirers, and these will do well to enjoy Mrs Farren’s masterly acting as Lucretia. That diverting piece, The Bear Hunters, which went off so successfully the other night, will con- clude the performances. Count or Crams —-Yesterday, Richard Martin Young, Esq., of this city, was admitted to preetise as an attorney and counsellor of this court The opinion of the court in the case of Jas Beatty's executors ws the United States, in that of Emmet Fadder vs. the United States, and in that of H. and F. W. Myer ws. the United States, was delivered by Judge Scar- bargh The argument in favor of the claimants in the case cf Mary E. D. Blaney vs. the United States was made by Mr. Rockwell, who was followed in favor of the government by the Solicitor ; when the case was submited for the decision of the court. Adjourned. Bors on tae River —Several gentlemen have requested us to warn the boys of the danger of staying upon the river in small boats when heavy storms ars approaching These young water dogs seem rather to ceurt danger when a storm approaches, and when the wiad is highest, the little skiff, manned by those juvenile tars, shoot from the shore into deep water, and can be seen al ig the channels, floating like corks upon the waves, while the little sailors shout and laugh at the danger. Several small! boats were capsized in the river Thursday, but fortunately no lives were lost. The parents of these chaps should keep an eye upon them. IxterestixG Birte Presextation.—The meeting of Lebanon Lodge, No 7, of Free Masons, held last Friday evening, was the occasion of a presentation by W. M. Wm. J. Rhees, in behalf the lodge, of a handsome copy of the Bible, to P. M. John McDuell, as & mark of esteem and appreciation of his past fervices. Capt. McDuell is one of the oldest and most efficient members of the masonic fraternity, and well merits the compliment thus tendered. Centre Marxet.—Last evening, John Wa- ters, the veteran clerk of the Centre Market, entered upon the diecharge of his duties. This morning be was received and congratulated by his old friends and acquaintances, the dealers who attend that market. He has commenced arranging to improve those portions allowed to go to ruin be market opened with a fine supply, and purchasers in plenty; and we could see that there was a little more attention paid to the market regulations. Distorsers oF tng Paace —It was inti- mated this morning by a police magistate that he should take steps to punish certain persons who were travelling about the city in the ca- pe ity of fortuneteliers Several disturbances etween husbands and wives have recently occurred, which were caused by the stories of these impostors Ignorant persons can be im- Pered on by them, and jealousy is created, which leade to fighting and drunkenness. _Orvicen Boss.—We hear with regret that the Mayor has felt it to be his duty to include ig efficer Boas, of the Second Ward, in his ist of removals, made yesterday, because we t ¢ him to have been a very efficient pub- lic servant. Mr. Joseph Williamson. his suc- cessor, is, however, weil qualified to discharge the duties of the post, and will doubtless give general satisfaction, os he always does, how- ever employed. Diswissep —Justice Clark, after hearing all the evidence for the United States against Hollingshead, decided that there was be legal ground upon which to hold him for tice Hollingshead did not produce n hisdefence. The witness for the Was sufficient to justify a dismissal The play is no favorite of A Great Arrair Coming Orr.—We are in- formed by one of the company of the Presi- dent’s Mounted Guard that they are to give an excursion over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- toad to the “ Relay House” on Monday morn- ing next. There is beautiful grounds and a spacious pavilion attached to the premises, which is under the charge of an old friend, Mr. John Miller, who is to be the caterer for the occasion Be : agentleman who bas seen the world, and has a keen relish for com- fort and the good things of life, who has re- cently spent some days at the Relay House with his family. te! that there is not a better kept and more agreeable summer re- treat in the United States at this time. Tax Guano Convextion.—The convention assembled at 12 o’clock to-day, in the Appa- ratus Reom of the Smithsonian Institute, con- sisting mainly of delegates from Maryland and Virginia, though Delaware, North Caro- lina, and some other States were represented. On motion of Mr. Walsh, of Harford county, Md., Mr. 8. Key, of Md , was called to the chair, and, on motion of Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Albert Emory, of Md , was elected secretary. Avico president was selected from each State repre- sented in the Convention, after which the Convention entered upon the consideration of the special subject for which it was called Arrests —Frances Wheeler, colored, was arrested yesterday and taken before Justice Clark. She was charged with obtaining good under false pretences. She was held to bail for court. John Neile and Benj Ferguson fighting and disturbing the peace ; bail for pease. Pgrsury Cass —W. Adams was arrested yesterday by Officer Norwood on the charge of perjury, by swearing that James Mockabvy was not a white man. The case was taken before Justice Goddard, who held Mr. Adams to security for a further hearing Arrestion !—The Eagle Club of George- town, have their excursion to-morrow, the fine steamer (ieorge Washington having been engaged to take the Eagles and their friends to the White House Pavilion, where the time will be pleasantly passed in the merry dance, or the other amusements there offered. THE TRULY BEAUTIFUL and costly collection of Oil Paintings now on free exhibition in the rooms over Mr. Farnham’s store, corner of Elevonth street and Pennsylvania avenue, will positively be sold this (Tuesday) evening.

Warcna Returns —The entire body of the new guard were placed on duty last night by Captain Jobn Miils. Though it is a new corps, a number of the members will be recognized as members of the efficient guard under the direction of the first Captain, John H. God- dard. The guards entered upon the duties with cheerfulness, and may be expected to act discreetly. The following cases were tried by Justice Hollingshead: James Ross, colored, assaulting his wife; dismissed. Jas Gorman, assault and battery on his wife ; jail. W.R. Plowman and John Boya, resisting the guard in the discharge of their duty ; trial postponed. eee eee Epigram.

Soeeeon GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Groregtown, June 10, 1856. The recent drenching rains have had a very beneficial effect upon our streets generally Almost every portion of them appears as if the street superintendent had been over them with a broom. There are one or two places, however, to which our attention has been called by some of the suffe-ers, which we are inclined to believe have escaped the notice of the above-mentioned officer. The condition of one of the places referred to, viz., Oak Alley, which extends from High to Congress streets, on the north side of Bridge street, is certainly very offensive, and ought to be tho- roughly limed The grade of this alley is such as to render it impossible for the rains to carry off the great amount of filth which accumulates in it, and affords one of the strongest arguments why the commissioners should have carried out before this the pro- visions of the bill which passed several mouths ago, for its improvement. We have no hesitation in saying, and we Speak adviscd'y, that there has been a hun: dredfold more talk and excitement about the bark Wm. Chase, now lying in the stream below the city, than the facts justify. Many of the rumors, too, in relation to the matter are of a ridiculous character, and wholly des- titute of truth We again repeat, upon the authority of a knowing and skillful physi- cian, that the patient who was taken from on board of the bark to the infirmary in Wash- ington had no symptoms of a malignant fever. As to the individual who died on bourd during the passage up the river, and was buried be- iow Alexandria, we are satisfied from inquiries we have made of experienced persons, that it is decidedly more probable that his death was caused by a change of climate and water, and eating too freely of the fruits that were on board, than by yellow fever. We therefore think that those who have assisted in raising the present unnecessary excitement about the matter, by helping to circulate some of the groundless rumors now afloat would do well to learn for themselves the facts in the case, and then go to work to try and quiet the public mind From our knowledge of the owners of the Wm Chase we believe that they would not knowingly do anything that would tend to introduce a pestilence into our city for the weight of the vessel's entire cargo in gold. The ladies fair and festival at Forrest Hall, opened beautifully last night. The arrange- ments are excellent, and the superintendence adm: The urbanity and politeness of the ladies in charge is such as to cause one to feel free and easy immediately upon entering the hall. The number of useful and fancy articles for sale is large, and mostly of a very rich and beautiful c eter. Asthe proceeds of this fair are for a religious purpose, we hope our male friends generally will patronize the fair, and enjoy the sweet smiles and plea- sant chit chat of the ladies.
