On motion of Mr. Pearson, it was Ordered, That the Secretary publish the foregoing resolutions in the city papers, and also poe @ copy of them to the chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives. NatiosaL Taeatre.—The Ravels closed their engagement on Saturday night with the best house of the season. Gabriel Ravel, ac- ording to his wont on his benefit nights, re- ceived his friends at the door This evening, Miss Morant announces an Ameriesn comedy, written by an American lady, Mrs. Sidney F_ Bateman, (the mother of the talented children of that name,) entitled “Self '’ This comedy has been produced in all the Northern cities, and has achieved a decided success. A contemporary, speaking o€ the piece says, “The fine moral precepts and home truths that it conveys, the pleasant humor which rans through its dialogue, and the occasional sharp shafts of satire and ridi- cule which it throws at the vanities and pat ent follies of fashionable life, with the genial philanthropy, intermingled with its sarcastic aseerbities, tempering and mollifying them, give it a hold upon the attention and admira- tion of those whose cultivation and good sense fit them to appreciate a laudable attempt to castigate pretension, envy, pride, scandal, falsehood and dishonesty, when found in eom pany with pelf and power.’ The piece is presented with a strong cast Among the Dames we notice that of John E. Owens, an acter held in the highest estimation in this city. The name of Mrs. Melinda Jones will also fend attractions to the bill, to Washing- ten play-goers. Tee Eves any Eans.—We would call the attention of all who suffer with weak or injured sight or hearing to Dr. Van Moschzisker, oc- ulist and aurist, who is now in our city fora short time, and can be seen at the National Hotel in his private rooms. Dr. M ’s reputa- tion as an oculist and aurist is well established. “+ Dr. M.'s works and his success in restoring eight and haring have won for him the highest Teputation as an oculist.""—Boston Bee. ‘The weputation of the author of the present works ‘ A Guide to the Dizesses of the Eye. Spec- tacles, why and when to use them’) is not con- fined to the science of which they treat, but has extended itceli to the vast field of German literature.”"—Baltimore American Demoerat. ‘Dr. M.'s work on the eye is spoken of by ewinent medical periodicals as a most val- uable production.”—Sun. Those who value ae should have their eyes examined by Dr. » where they can purchase such glasses that they way rely will suit the exact tocus of the eye. Dr. M.’s treatment of deafness is on the most scientific principie, and the patient, after one or two visits, can continue the treatment bimeelf, and rely, even if the deafness is of the Jongest standing, an improvement cf hearing. _—_ it Tee Arrroacaixne Ixaveuratiox. —The Democratic Review says: ** The inauguration of James Buchanan promises to be the most ——— installment of a Qhief Magistrate of the United States that has ever taken place.

A. Cooper discovered a little girl about thir- teen or fourteen years of age, named Mary Donnelly, at a house of ill-fame, kept by a colored woman, named Blackstone, in the Seventh Ward. The parents of the child, through Justice Donn, =) authorized the of- ficers to take her wherever she might be found, and they have been searching for her for comemonths past. (Officer Cooper took her before Justice Donn, who placed her in charge of a respectable family to be returned to her friends. The police officers are in search of an unfor- tunate girl, still younger than Mary, who is, in a like distressing manner, lost to her family. Norwirastanpine the extreme cold weather of the present week, Philbrick (ander Dex ters Hotel) has done a smashing business in the book line.
