Rercen or Senator Dovetas AnD Brine —Fine SeresaDe AND EnTERTAINMENT.— About eight o'clock on Saturday evening a very beautiful and interesting scene was wit- nessed at the residence of Senator Douglas. The Marine band in full force, under the di- rection of Professor Seala, complimented that distinguished statesman and bis accomplished bride (who had just returned to Washington,) with « serenade, comprising the following pieces : : The Anvil Coro, from opera I] Trovatore ; Duett, from opera Lucresia Borgia; Amelie Waltz, Duett, from opera I Masnadiere ; Star Spangled Banner and Hail Columbia Daring an interval in the above musical perfo- ances, the doors of the hospitable man- sion o. Judge D. were thrown open tothe mem- bers of the band and to several prominent citizens in attendance, who, having been in- troduced to the family of the eminent Senator, were addressed by him in words of cordial welcome, and invited to partake of an elegant and bounteous repast. . . By uest of the company, and in their behalf, Mr. F. McNerhany responded tothe of Judge Douglas, thanking him for a reception so kind and generous. They had come (said Mr. McN ) to congratulate him upon the happy auspices under which he had returned to the National Metropolis, the scene roudest achieve- i ae joy- ous emotions with which they bailed his re- turn and that of his amiable bride—had fily found expression in musio’s sweetest strai It was, indeed, peculiarly appropriate that s National Band—one whose celebity pervaded the whole Union—should thus hail, with ex- ultant notes, the return of him who had so proudly kept step to the music, and so heroic- ally carried the Flag of the Union! Of that Union he was one of the ablest and m lo- quent champions ; of its capital he was a true acd powerful friend; and he had signaily honored it in his social relations. He was, therefore, thrice endeared and thrice welcome to the Metropolis. Mr. McN. concluded by expressing the bope that the pathway of Judge D., whilst conducting him to the high- est 5 renal of the Republic, might ever be illumined by the beaming smiles of beauty, and that the new Union of Hearts that ke had so recently helped to form, might endure for ever, serenely and happily, with the Union of States which he had so gallantly and success- fully hel to maintain ! gota ste replied, remarking that he and his family ny arpa very highly the compliment which had been paid them; the had been delighted with the music, and wit! all the incidents of the occasion. He was happy to mingle with such kind friends, and to iF them welcome to his fe e board. He was a friend to the Constitution and the Union, and, thank God, the Flag of the Union was still waving. He was a friend to the eity of Washington. 1t was adorned with noble mon- uments of the greatness and glory of the Union. He beheld here, on every hand, proud evidecoss of the growing power of the Kepub lic. Although he had entered into a union of @ more tender and delicate character—one based upon the warmest affections of our na- ture—he still was none the less devoted to the Union of these States. He was prepared to battle for it, whenever and wherever assailed; it was a priceless heritage, and he would main- tain and preserve it in its purity and integri- ty, for ourselves and our posterity. Judge Douglas concluded by again tend the thanks of his family and the hospitalities of his house After sponding upwards of an hour in the exchange of congratulatory sentiments and asant conversation, the company retired, aring with them the most gratifying remem- brances of the occasion. Taz Union Cnor Assocration.—All of our readers who feel an interest in the improve- ment of church music, (and who does not?) will be gratified to learn that the Union Choir Association, consisting of some eighteen or twenty of our church choirs, are at present industriously engaged in the promotion of the important object tor which the Association was formed, and hold rehearsals weekly at Temperance Hall. At one of their recent re- hearsals we were agreeably surprised at the spirited manner and general correctness with which some of the most difficult and classical choruses from the oratorios of Handel, Hydn, Mendelssohn, and other great masters, were taken up and carried through. Among the pieces with which we were particularly pleased we will only mention a trio and chorus from Neukemm’s oratorio of ‘* The Ascension’’ and a solo and chorus from King's oratorio of ** The Intercession.’ The execution of these Pieces reflected much credit on all who took part in them, and we have no doubt thata great deal of this success may be attributed to the efficiency of the conductor and to the assistance of the instruments which accom- panied and sustained the voices. This association has been accustomed every winter to give one or more concerts for the benefit of the poorof thiscity. Whether they have that object in view at the present time, we are not informed, but we have no doubt rfully respond to such an ap- peal, and thi the same time render effi- cient aid to a praiseworthy object and afford their numerous friends an opportunity, which seldom scours, of hearing the combined musi- cal talent of this city, and of listening to some of those sublime and soul-elevating choruses which can only be properly rendered by a large number of voices. AssacLT wita a Sicxe Saor.—We have received a communi:ation from a respectable citizen of the Northern Liberties, complain- ing of rowdyism and disturbances in that neighborhood, and from which we make the following ex*ract : **Wasainerox, Dec. 13, 1856. “ Mr. Edttor: Last evening, about seven o'clock, a quiet, orderly man was passing op- posite the Northern market when he was set upon by a band of rowdies, who infest that neighborhood, and knocked down by a slung- shot, and cut very severely under the eye by the same. This outrageous conduct is becom- ing quite common in that locality of late, and one would suppose. from the quantity of gun- powder let off in that part of the city, that there was 4 constant cuerrelia warfare going 6 in defiance of the proclamation of the Chief of Police.”’ The writer complains that the officers, with some exceptions, appear to be afraid to execute the law against such evil-doers, and expresses the hope “that our worthy Mayor, who goes in for reforming abuses and “ putting tharight man in the right place,”’ without regard to those who may be in office or out of it, will give this matter a little of his attention.”’ Assavit —Saturday night, a man named Stephen Dorsey made an attack on Mr. Wm. J. Herbert, in the First Ward. Officers May and Degges being near, arrested Dorsey be- fore any serious harm was done, and he was held to security for his appearance at the Criminal Court Last night, a colored man named Cook was attacked by a party who beat him and took bis pocket book from him. After searching the pocket book and finding no money, they returned it, giving him at the same time a blow on his head, and told him to run Two young men, Dennis Magee and John Umber- fleld were arrested, but there being no white Witnesses they were discharged. Fring axp ALarw.—About 11 o’clock Satur- day mene & fire broke out in a frame building in the Sixth Ward, which was consumed The ficemen were ou: promptly to render assist- anoe. Last night abvut7 o'clock an alarm Was started and the companies were soon on duty, but the alarm proved to be false. Cixeurr Coun? --Saturday afteracon, the jury in the Lathrop ewse returned a verdict for the Government. It is supposed that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. Crrexs SPEAKING THE GsRMAN LA avaes.—Can there be a stronger proof of the i and patriotism of our citizens ing the German language than the hearty welcome they give to that “great na- tional work,’’ D®. Spenser’s History of the United States, now translating into the Ger- man ogsees and ablishing by Martin, Johnston & Co.,of New York. Officein Wash ington, 499 Seventh street, between D and E. Tax Star Metopgon Troursg have arrived in town, and will give one of their mirth-pro- voking, slightly sentimental, somewhat pa- thetic, and every way inte: ing and enter. taining rmances at Odd Fellows’ Hall to- night. If any of our readers havo not quite decided to go, we have only to hint the fact that the old hiyesprn are favorite, Harry Lehr, is to appear, to settle the question “to go or not to go”’ in the affirmative. Many Moriarty —This woman, who is the wife of John Moriarty, now in jail for the murder of his child, was taken to the cen- tral guard-house on Saturday night for drunk- enness and profanity. In her arms she car- ried an infant a few months old. She was sent to the work-house a short time before the death of her child, but was reloased previous to the expiration of her time. Yesterday she was sent back to serve a term of ninety days. Licenses —The police officers have been for a week past engaged in notifying persons who are subject to the license law, that their time has expired and they must renew their licen r subject themselves to fine. The office ‘e not bound to give the notice, but have done so that whoever may be arrested under the law shall have no cause for com- plaint. Goop Tea.—That which is sold by King & Burchell is good Black Tea. We know the fact from a trial of its qualities. Warca Returns, Dec. 13 —Mary Moriarty, drunk and profanity, workhouse 90 days; Jane Buchanan, reristing an officer, workhouse 30 days; Maitha Burk, do, do; J. H. Thomas. disorderly, dismissed; Jesse Burr, drunk and disorderly, workhouse 90 days; Mary Burk, resisting an officer, workhouse 30 days; Sarah Burk, do , paid coats; John Maher, vagrant, workhouse 90 days. December 14 —No cases for trial. ——————s GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. GrorGetown, Dec. 15, 1856 Trinity church was crowded to overflowing last night to hear the able lecture of Dr. B. A. Maguire, president of Georgetown College. He tock ‘‘ Faith, hope and charity’ as the basis of his discourse. Each of these chrie- tian graces he discussed at some length, ina style which perfectly delighted his large au- ditory. We are pleased to learn that Mr. M Mc- Clisch, whose absence we noticed several days since, returned to his home in eur city yester- day morning. His detention was caused by some business transactions which required his personal attention. An attempt was made last night to set fire to a small frame house on Second street, be longing to Richard Cruit, Esq. The incendi- ary entered through a back door, placed a parcel of combustible materials in a closet, and set firetothem. Thelight was discovered in time to suppress the flame before any dam- age was done.
