It appears that a number of colored persong have formed an association for the purpose of “ sitting up with the body’ when any of theit acquaintances have died. Hughes’s wife died, and this committee went to the wake, in the course of the night, the watchers bey came rather too noisy, and Hughes undertook to dismiss them, when the attack was mad on him, and his jaw broken in two places: ‘The chairman of the committee, or the “ Cap! tain,’’ as they call him, was not in a condition t restrain them. SeREz4DE8—GO@D, BAD, AND INDIFFERENT. Many of our love-stricken musical amateurs have availed themselves of the fine nights, lately, to compliment their fair acquaintances by serenades. Some of these achievements have been performed in creditable style, but in too many instances, alas! the music hag been of that description which puts the teeth on edge, startles oe nervous, sets dogs to barking and children to erying, causes the neighbors to call the watch and kick up a row generally! We hear that in one instance the serenaded parties have expressed a particular desire that the serenade should not be rev ted. They consider the music a most grate ifying compliment and a treat of a high o > der, but in future would prefer to take the will for the deed, as there is a sick child ia the house. ‘ Pinx Coakuey, a black man, seems deter- mined to do his part toward supplying the por lice with business.

An’ other policeman was at the time waiting te arrest Pink. incase he had been dismissed from the former chaage. ' For Requtsition.—The colored man Geo, Lee, who was committed to jail for a hearin by Justice Donn, was brought out for trial yesterday, and it was shown that he had been concerned in the robbery of a gentleman ig Montgomery county, Maryland, where he ob. tained $185 and asilver watch About ninetyé four dollars were recovered, he having dis. posed of the remainder Lee was committed to await a requisition from the Governor of Maryland. —_— Coroner's Inquest —Yesterday afternoon an tnquest held io @ house near the canal bee tween Fourteenth and Fifteeath streets west, over the body of acolored man named John Harris, who died suddenly yesterday. It was shown that be had been subject to homorrhage of the lunge, and from the appearance of the body it was believed that was the cause of death, and the jury returned # verdict accord> ingly.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Grorgetown, Sept. 25, 1856. Quite an extensive revival of religion has been going on in the Methodist chureh at Ten- allytown under the pastoral charge of the Rey. Mr. Gotwalt. The altar is nightly thronged with seekersof religion, and the num- ber of converts have been quite numerous, Mr. Wm. Golding, a very respectable atd aged citizen of our city, and well known throughout the District, died yesterday morn- ing of an attack of paraly Frost in considerable quantities made its @ppearance this morning in and round about our city. We have never, in all our experience, seen so much betting upon elections as there is now going on Almost every knowing one you meet with, of all parties, seems to have some- thing to risk upon the result, or upon some particular State. The Democrats have been betting freely upon Maryland—that Fillmore will not carry four States, and against large odds w the final resuit. Mr. Joseph F. Birch had both of his hands badly burned last night, while saving one of his children from injary by fire. A lamp had been carelessly left sitti upon the floor, and as the child was passing by it, the flame was communicated to its outer clothing. Fortu- nately, however, its dangerous situation was discovered by Mr. B. to save it from any in- jary. ‘The four market continues rather inactive. There seems to be but little spesulative de- mand.
