Msuraees or tae House or Repr trves.—Our friend Gobright, Congressional reporter, gets off a thing, occasionally, as will be seen by the following jeu d’esprit from his pen, which we fished up yesterday ‘“‘float- ing around loose’’ in manuscript, among our brethren of the press in the House hall : Refreshing! Wood, Greenwood, Underwood, Are prominent in the long range; Therefore, that Branch and Sapp are found In this connection—nothing strange! Here may the bird in safety Peck, And Sevage roam as he may like, Or take a Knapp in shady dell, None to dispute his sovereign Wright’ All Ready for the grand display, For which we owe the people thanks, In Lake and Rivers swim the Pike— We stand upon the sloping Banks ' Let’s have CAtid’s play, my friends— Here isa Broom ; quick, sweep the Hall, And ring the Beli—for merriment We'll have a stirring game at Baill! Ab! this is Bliss. I love the Kaoz, They’re pleasant in this Vale below, They nerve the limbs with manly strength ; We may like medern Samsons Grow / But let us now approach the Goods Things which the Congress have in store, We'll cook them Dunn with Mace and Sags ; Of Porter, Perry, drink the Moore! “Oh! Day and Knight, ’tis wondrous strange;”’ What wild confusion have we here ; Al-bright, here shines the sterling Orr, And here doth likewise Rust appear! A King stands out in bold relief— A Packer in the industrial throng ; A Barbour, Spinner, several Smiths, And Waeeler, too, to help along! Though sport doth move the multitude, A peaceful Haven may be theirs, If they but list and profit by The Dean and by the Btshop’s prayers! Nationa Tagatre—Esouisa Opera.— Don Pasquale drew an excellent house; and it was easy to see that its performance took the audience completely by surprise. First, it was new to most present; in the next place, the music was just of a character to be com- —_ by a popular audience; and, fina!- , the opera was acted, as well as sung with remarkable spirit. Miss Louisa Fyne displayed comic capabili- ties heretofore undeveloped—another surprise —and as with her becoming widow’s cap and rudish half-mourning dress, her veil, and er timid air of bashfulness and rusticity, she humbugged the susceptible Don Pasquale into signing 3 marriage settlement, and rwards by a demonstration of first class vixenism, frightened him to a consent to her marriage with his nephew, the delight of the audi- ence was exhibited unmistakeably. Mr. Horncastle as Don Pasquale gave us the highest idea of his capabilities we have yet received, both as vocalist and actor. His look of ludicrous discomfitment when, after his cuffings from the fair hands of the Tartar of a widow, he discovers that she has absolutely made an assignation ia the garden with “« somebody else’’ on the very marriage night; and when advancing to the foot-lights he groans— ** Ob, I shall lead a pretty life; A female Beelzebub for a wife’ — is a thing to be remembered. Mr. Harrison was in exquisite voice last night, and made naturally a fine representa tive of the partof Ernesto. Mr. Guilmette as Dr. Melatesta was gentlemanly and correct, making the most of the part. To-nigat—and we say it with regret, the last of the engagemont—the favorite “Som- mambula’’ is to be performed, an opera num- bering we presume more admirers amongst all classes of the citizens of Washington than an other that could be presented. In addition, a fine concort will be given, the occasion being the benefit of Miss Pyne and Mr. Harrison. Errata.—In our yesterday’s notice of the opera the types make us say “eruditional qualities’ instead of ‘‘ emotional qualities ”’ “ Eruditional” may, in the language of the elder Weller, be s “more tenderer word,”’ but it is by no means the one we intended. Casz Disuissep —Yesterday, a boy about fifteen years of age, named Thomas Robinson, was arrested for an attempt to rob the money drawer of McIntire’s drug store, on Seventh street. He was taken before Justice Donn, whoexamined the witnesses. It appears that when the drawer opens an alarm bell sounds. The young man who attends the store, being near by, heard the bell, and went into the store and saw the prisoner standing near the drawer; the drawer was not opened, but sp- arently an attempt had been made to open it, but failed because of a eatch underneath. No one saw the prisoner ke the attempt; nothing was missed ; and, in view of this tes- timony, and the fact of the prisoner being the son of a widowed mother, the Justice lectured him severely on the danger of such conduct, and dismissed the case. Cenrre Manxer.—The supply was not very great in the principal market, and purchasers were numerous. As usual at this season of the year, prices are becoming higher, as the de- mand increases. The quality of the provisions offered is very excellent, and the dealers are kept busy by the rapid applications of pur- chasers. The improvement of the south front of the Square has been commenced, and the country dealers expect that in a short time they will be accommodated with more comfortable stands than at present Scspiciovs Cincumstances.— Last night, a man named Thomas Soden was arrested by Officer Cooper for cffering certain papers at the Dexter House which were supposed to be forged. The papers purported to be written by J. J. Jones, and made him responsible for the boarding expenses of the bearer. Soden, after his arrest, tried to conceal one of the papers, but was prevented by the vigilance of the officer. He had before been a lodger in the Central guard-house, and being unable to give a satisfactory reason for his conduct he was committed to the workhouse for sixty days. Mystery Expuasey.—Our curiosity for a day cr two past has been at fever heat, in consequence of an inexplicable swarming of pretty girls about the Star Building Hall, and this morning we so far conquered our native bashfulness as to inquire what it all meant. The answer, received from a pair of rose buds in the shape of lips, was, that the ladies of Grace Church, Island, propose to open their Annual Fair on Monday evening next, at this Hall, and, furthermore, that they intend making it the most attractive Fair of the sea- son. Notice to Mewners or Concress anp Gestiewen is Pusiic Orrices —By partio- ular desire, an adjourned sale of Magnificent Engravings will take place (for the last time tively) this evening, at seven o'clock, at Teen's auction room, corner of Seventh d D streets.

A great variety of Children’s Books, printed on linen, for sale at Shillington’s great News Depot and Magasine Agency, Qdeon Buildings, corner of Four-and-a half street and en vania avenue. Fouspiine.—Last night, a white infant about three days old, was left at the private door of Willards’ hotel. It was nea 'y clad and placed in a basket and labelled “ Wil- liam,’’ probably the name designed for it by the heartless parent. It was tsken to the guard house to be semoved to the asylum. Tux GuorcrtowN CouLece Capers, Cap- tain Kenny commanding, passed our office at 1 o'clock to-day on their way to the White House, where they were to be reviewed by the Presid The Cadets were accompanied by Withers’s fine band, and presented a remark- ably fine appearance, numbering some sixty muskets. — Tue Great Christmas and New Year’s Pic- torial Brother Jonathan, containing thousands of original engravings, has just been received at the news depot oF 4 J. ‘Shillington, Pennsyl- vania avenue, corner Four-and-a-half st. * Circuit Coert.—The jury yesterday re- turned a verdict for the plaintiff in the ejeot ment case of Carroll vs. Blagden This is another of the cases growing out of Corpora- tion tax sales.

We have rarely seen so little pork coming into our market by wagons at this season of the year. Doubtless the unusually mild tem- peraturs of the weather thus far is the prin- cipal cause. So far, but little if any of what might be considered prime quality has been offered. We presume, however, that as the gloomy spell of weather is now over, the sup- ply will be more plentiful. The qualities now offering commands from $6.25 to $6.50. One of the black fellows, Gates, shot by Jackson on Monday night, is, we learn, very badly injured. Jackson has been committed to by Justice Reaver. e have been requested to call the atten- tion of the police to the disorderly conduct of arcel of colored boys who are in the habit of gathering on Lingan street, near Second, on the Sabbath day, for the purpose of play- ing bandy and other dangerous games. ‘ We advise all those in want of the very best article of ale and porter offered in the District for many years to call on Arny & Shinn. The news by the Arabia has somewhat un- settled the market for flourand grain. The stock on hand of the former article is very light, the shipments during the past ten days being very heavy—amounting to some 20.000 8. bbls.—far ahead of the receipts. jes, If the persor cretalous of its ative effects, thonsande can testify who used {t for years, and circumatances could be perauaded to do without it. especially, have fonnd { ble benefits resultin it.
