Merroronitan M xics’ Farn.—In pre- senting the follewing continuation of the list of contributors or applicants for space at the approaching Fair, we sbould state, to prevent disappointment, that the list is a mere memc- randum of applicants, and does not in the least bind the authorities of the Institute to receive the articles mentioned init A com- mittee of —— will be appointed who will attend at the hall every day from the 20th to the 28th instant, inclusive, to decide whether the articles presented can be received or not Owing to the great demand for space for ar ticles of value and importance, it is qui probable that a very large proportion of the applications for tidies and pincushions will have to be rejected. Many things are so ob- viously presented for the mere purpose of get- ting a ticket, and without any reference to their beauty, value or appropriateness, thatit will be the duty of the Board to guard jeal- ously the right of admission, which is the only source to which they have to look for re- muneration for their very large outlay in this praiseworthy undertaking All good citizens ought to unite to prevent them from being im- — upon, as they bave too often been at former exhibitions : Mes A R.

Tiupsday evening’ Poviaiey 10° sociation jay eveni el , & committee of three members of Hiram No. 10, Free and Accepted Masons, with about twenty other gentlemen, chiefly members of this Lodge, assembled at the dwelling of Mr. Ste- phen D. Millis, where, in the presence of these gentlemen and several ladies who honored the Occasion, Mr Diets, chairman of the commit- tee, in a finely conceived address, presented on the of Taras Lodge a beautifal watch to Mr ills, asa testimonial of their nt ghaa ation of the many valuable services rendered by him during the past two years as W. M. of that Lodge. e watch thus presented is from the establishment of Mr Samuel Lewis. It is a very beautiful English go! rer, fall jew- eled, with chronometer balance, elaborately inscribed, in the best style of Mr D. 0. Hare, as follows : “Presented toP. M.S. D Mills by Hiram Lodge, No. 10, F. and A. M,, of Washington city, a8 a token of esteem, for the able man- ner in which he has discharged the duties of W. M. for the past two years. Committee— W UH. Dietz, Thos Smith, Eug J. Alexander. ‘February 10, 1857.” On the back lid is the Keystone; over the top “S. D. Mills;”’ at the bottom “* February 1, 1854, Washington, D C.;"’ in the oentre the private mark of Mr D, which is a plow, and upon the front lid “Stephen Dow Mills” and the P M’s jewel. Mr. Mills replied in felicitous terms, expres- sive cf his appreciation of the testimonial thus offered, and which had av far beyoad its intrinsic worth as the emblem of their friend- ship and brotherly regard. He believed that the benefit of this act of their kindness would not be confined to the recipient, but would cheer the young aspirant for Masonic honors rt when. to him that an unwavering pale to discharge his Masonic duties will be readily appreciated by the brethren, and be met on their part with the reward for faithfulness. These ceremonies being concluded, the com- pany were invited to a well gotten-up feast, which was conducted by Mrs Mills, and in the preparation of which the generous hospi- tality of the entertainer and the elegant taste so macifest in all the appointments of his “ lodge’’ were happily exemplified, and which will long be remembered by all who had the good fortune to be present. Lecture at Couwsran Hatt, —Last Thure- day evening, Col Jas W Irwinof the Interior Department, delivered an able and eloquent nev ele to a large audience at the Columbian Association rooms maeg, Sy attentive hear- ers we observed his honor the Mayor, and lady representatives from many of our most intelli- gent and respectable families. After a beautiful and merited notice of the lady patroness of the association, the speaker gave an impressive and patriotic discourse on the importance of the Union, and the enor- mous calamities whica would ensue from its dissolution. He drew an animated picture of the condition of the country at the close of the Revolution and presented a forcible contrast with our present condition. The dizcourse throughout exhibited a familiar acquaintance with all the important statistics of our pro- gress, and imparted a mass of valuable infor- mation to his hearers. It also was character- ised by a spirit of intense devotion to the constitution, and concluded in the utterance ms a fervent prayer {or the perpetuation of the nion. After the lecture the hospitalities of the lady patroness were dispensed with her accus- pel elegance to a number of the orator’s friends We are happy to learn that on Thursday evening next Dr. Magruder will deliver an address at the Hall on a subject of unive; interest as well as of the highest historical im- portance. Tue Inavevration.—The following com- —- were officially reported to the Board of fficers, on last evening, as intending to par- ticipate in the inaugural ceremonies: The Montgomery Guards, Capt. Moore, of Rich- mond, Va.; Continental uards, Capt. Hous- ton, and Cumberland Guards, Capt. Slye, of Cumberland, Md; German Riflemen, Capt. Heldefer, and Jackson Guards, Capt . Baltimore, Md. The Board of Officers will meet on Friday evening next at the armory of the Washington Ligtt Infantry. Companies proposing to vi it Washington on the occasion of the inaugura- tion are requested to report, without delay, to Col. Hickey. We presume our corporate authorities will make an appropriation for the purpose of re- ceiving and entertaining the visiting military on this occasion. Such would be a judicious investment Tae Washington correspondent of the Bal- timore American says: ‘Joseph C Bond, of Boston, the celebrated chronometer maker, and a son of Mr. Bond, the astronomer at Harvard University, was knocked down by a slung shot in the hands of some unknown person at about half-past 7 o'clock on Wednesday evening, Mr. Bond married a niece of President Pierce, and had on the evening mentioned dined at the White House. The affair occurred on his return therefrom, while crossing the open space be- tween the Executive mansion and Willard’ Hotel. Ho was struck on the forehead over a cap to whieh he is probable indebted for his life. He had an ugly bruise, but is now re- covering from the effects of the blow. Hoe was not robbed, and the conjecture is that he was mistaken by the perpetrator of the assault for some other person.’ Reversixe Positions —It will be remem- bered that a day or two since a lady named Chatain was tried before Justice Donn ona charge of larceny of $170 from a Mrs. Hailes. The case against her was dismised. She, in turn, got a warrant against Mrs Hailes for larceny, and at the examination evidence was iven that induced Justice Donn to hold Mrs. Fiaites to bail in 5600 for her appearance at the Criminal Court Yesterday, the gentle- wan who gave bond for her appearance got on a — and his wife went in search of him, and, finding him, made bim deliver Mrs. H, into the Marzhals castedy. Ata late hour last evening Mrs Hailes was waiting at the magistrate’s office for eecurity. “Pacs Iswarps—Presest Arms ’’—A wilitary friend calls our attention tothe above order, found in the amme of the in- augural procession, and is anxiously inquiring what new eystem of tactics is used 4 the Washington military; h poet:d in Ssott, and is positive that no such movement is there laid down. Our information on the subject is but spare, but, if we understand the maneuver, it bas been frequently pee by our Ma- sonic brothren and Odd Fellows while per- forming the last act of respect to their de- ceased brethren, opening ranks and permitting the body to pass through. We believe w can with safety assure our friend that our mi!- itary will not deviate from Scott. Oeruaxs’ Fain —That most deserving Fair for the benefit of St. Joseph nd St Vin- ent’s Male aud Female Orphan Asylums, is uow open at Iron Hall. Its object appeals to the benevolence of all without distinction of creed or party, and we trust it will be gene- rously encouraged. Among the great variety of articles for sale every visitor may find something useful or beautiful to suit his or her taste. Tue Alexandria Sentinel of yesterday says : “A telegraph office was established this morning at Seakson City, the Virginia end of the Long Bridge Despatches will be received from and sent to the South from that point, in- stead of Washington, until the wire can be permanently renewed across the river.

The firemen were out nearly the entire night. The houses on U st. belonged to Mrs. Groaves.

Mr. Seymour reported, from claims commit- tee, a billin favor of Henry Reaver; passed both Boards. Mr. Cropley offered a resolution appointing additional collectors; passed both Boards Mr English reported, from the finance com- mittee. the Mayors fiuzncial report; laid on the table. A message was received from the Mayor covering: the accounts of Jos. Libbey & Son and J. B. Greenwell; referred A message was received from W. P. Mau's- by, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Compaay, asking aid of our Corpora- on in their recent calamities. A resolation in relation to the canal passed both Boards; algo, a resolution in relation to veters. Several unimportant matters were passed, aud both Boards adjourned until next Friday evening. Letters received in our city yesterday from dam No. 5 on the canal, represents the injury much less than was stated in previous accounts, and that in all probability the entire damage can be sufficiently repaired to admit of navi- gation being resumed the entire length of the line by the firstof April. From dam No. 4. navigation will be resumed early in the spring. As far as heard from, no other injury has been done the canal except on the George- town level, which can easily be repaired in fifteen or twenty days. The pertinacity with which the Georgetown correspondent of the Baltimore Sun adheres to his misreprosentations of the Anti: Know-Noth- ing party of our city compels us again to give 4 positive and downright contradiction to his statement of last Thursday. We again assert” that the Railroad question will not be an iseue in the coming contest; and as a personal friend of Mr. Sawer we assert, knowingly and emphatically, that he is no champion of apy railroad, canal, steamboat. balloon, or any other such party. He is the candidate (for Mayor) of the Democratic or Anti-K uow-Noth- ing party, and one among their many able champions The offerings of beef cattle at Drover's Rest yesterday amounted to 200; 150 of which were taken by District butchers at $49$5 50 on the hoof, equal to $Sa$11 nett.
