Mr. Wharton was addressing the jury as our report closed Gatrast Kyiguts.—The annual tourna ment and fancy ball took place, last week, st the Pauquier Springs. Not less, it is said, than a thousand persons were on the field, a *pectators of the ‘tilt’? Among the gentle- men judges was our bachelor friend, Thomas Lumpkin, and, among the successful knights George E Mattingly, also of Washington, who crowned ‘‘a modest and dignified lady of Bal- timore.”’ The knights were dismissed tMl evening, when the Queen, Miss Kate Shack- ¢lford, was crowned by Charles B. Payne, knight of Clan Alpine, who was declared the Victor, “* ba’ i ring’’ once, at the altar, provided, of course, ~ the knight were worthy of ber affections.

Panopt’s Concerr.—As pre! to the grand concert performances which are to take place on Wednesday and Thursday nights, we publish the following notice from a Phila- delphia paper, to show the light in which the mentioned are regarded in that city : “ Parodi’s Second Concert was, as usual, at- tended Qs all that is musical and olgeetic in the City. It was too, as usual,@ great soiree for all lovers of music. At this late hour we have no time to enter into particulars. The great prima donna herself was in admi- rable voice ; she was encored in the “‘Gypsey »”? and in Malibran’s Rataplan, Tiderini wasindeed great. He created an enthusiam we have not seen equalled for years. The Tomanza from Don Sebastian, brought an en- core, with ‘ Spirito Gentill’’ for a substitute. The concerted music gives a rank to these Concerts never attained before The trio from “¢ Attilla ’ was repeated, the tenor su: himself. There is, too, a harmony of school and style, between Parodi and himself, which render their singing Le ga something rarely to be beard. Bernardi is worthy of such com- pany, and sustains his part nobly. Sirakosch was encored. He~must have beon prepared for it, after his delicious variations of ‘* Old Folks at Home’’ As for Julien he played with his acoustomed passion and fecling ; his “Witches’ Dance” was something bewildering: it was encored, when he substituted a malecy of bis own, full of Musie’s true spirit. On Friday, Parodi sings ‘‘ Mourir pour Patrie,’’ the revolutionary bymn of the revolution which drove Louis Philippe from Paris in 1848. We know Parcdi's enthusiasm when she sings patriotic songs—it will be, on Friday, ie know, communicated quickly to the au- nce. Taz MAarket.—The amount of provisions has been kept up in the principal market during the past weok, and the prices also. The constant and plentiful supply does not po igi 4 affect the prices, the demand on each market daybeing equal to it. Although anumber of market pests, old and young, have been arrested and peop the dealers are frequently disturbed by others of the same class. The efforts of the officers may yet be successful in breaking up the gang. IncenviaRisu.—About nine o'clock, last night, the frame stable at the lumber yard of J. Van Riswick, near the Centre Market, was fired by some incendiary. The flames were discovered by Mr. B. Frazier, and oxtin- guished by kim and Mr. Stoops, of the Aux- rey Guard, before material damage was one. — A Cwance ror A Sitver Cur.—The pro rietor of the saloon on D street, between Sighth and Ninth streets, exhibited to us to- day a beautiful silver cup, made by Lewis, which he offers as a prize to the person making the best games at ten pins, at_his alley, be- tween now and Christmas. Private Somer Musicae.—We regret that our limits will not permit of the inser- tion, in this afternoon’s Star, of an account of a truly delightful private soiree musicale which took place last night.

Grongetown, Sept. 16; 1856. Thero is but little news of a public charac- ter stirring with us at the present time, Tho health of the city is excellent, and business, though not unusually brisk, is steady, with signs of increasing activity. ‘The Democrats aro making preparations to go to Kockviile on Thursday, to participate in the great mass meeting which comes off there on that day.

Mr Buchanan spent Thursday laat at the Ephrata Mountain Springs, one of his favor- ite summer resorts Senator Douglas had an enthusiastic recep- tion in Chicago on the 8th from patriots of all parties E. D Gray, Esq., resigns the Presidency of the Fillmore club of Culpeper county, Va., and declares for Buchanan. Hon. James C. Glidden, formerly Whig speaker of the Rhode Island Assembly, is an avowed advocate of Mr. Buchanan’s election. George Taylor has been nominated for Con- gress by the Democrats of the Second (New York) Congressional district, comprising the first twelvo wards of the city of Brooklyn. There arc German Buchanan clubs in nearly every ward in Philadelphia. Stephen 8. Remak, Esq , has spoken in that city every night, except Sunday, for the last month— making addresses both in English and Ger- min. The Albany Evening Telegraph says that of seventecn Trish Catholic papers in the United States. not one supports Fremont, and six teen give a hearty support to Buchanan. The other is neutral or refuses to support Buchanan on account of the Keating a! The Rev. Killem Beccher is electioneering for Fremont in New England, and shrieking for sympathy in Canada. On Wedneslay he was at Montreal, and lectured on ‘‘ Patriot- ism.’? Next day he had left for Vermont The Richmond Enquirer says the Hon. Jobn M. Botts. who is stumping Virginia for Fill more, ‘‘ can be convicted of Republicanism on the evidence of his own declaration, in the speech which he recently delivered”’ in Rich- mond. It says “the speech will be publish- ed, and that if Botts is not arrested under the act for the suppression of incendiary language, the law is either a dead letter or our prosecu ting attorneys are not true to their duties.”” arine Disaster!—From our Lloyd's Agent 1 Wells Beach, Maine, Sept. 10. j | Poor old Maine \.
