Tux Districrin Congaess —Io the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Hunter introduced 2 bill tu es- tablish a steam-ferry over the Potomac river, at the site of the Long Bridge, and fur other purposes ; which was referred to the Commit. tee on the District of Cuiumbia. This bil! aa- thorizes a removal of so much of the bridge on the Virginia side 2s may be necessary fur free navigation and the establishment of a free steam ferry between the openings; the re- mainder of the bridge to be enlarged to its original width and strengthened in a <ubstan- tial manner—a pivot draw to be substituted fur the present draw. ‘bere are to be two steam ferry beats of such capacity as will ac- commodate the ordinary and railway travel and business, to be operated night and day under proper regulations, the expense to be reported to Congress at its next secsiun. The Alexandria aad W asbington railroad company is authorized to use said ferry for the trans- portation of its railway trains, and to extend tbe tract of its road from said terry across the Long Bridge to such point or points south of the canal, with such branches to the Potomac river, as the corporate au‘horities of Washing- ton may have prescribed or hereafter pre- scribe; provided that said company shall, in consideration of the privileges granted, trans- the mail from the terminus of its road in ashington city to Alexandria, Virginia, upon such terms and regulations as to time as the Post Office Department may prescribe; and upon refusal of said company to perform the service the privileges are to cease. Mr. Hunter alzo presented a memorial from citizens of Alexandria, Virginia, asking that an appropriations may be made for the repair and improvement of the buildings and oxten tion of the ground occupied by the Washing- ton arsenal (This memoriel is very namerously signed, and by the moet respectable residents of that city, and says “‘that, in view of the adverse circumstances which have for years past par- alyzed che euergies and curtailed the useful- bess and efficiency of the id arsenal as a place of construction and depot for our section ef country and the neighboring States,” they ask the passage of such needful laws and reg ulations for the relief of the ssid arsenal as the urgency of the case may require, aud that it may be made fully adequate to all the emergencies of armament arising in the tensive region of country it is intended to sup- ly.} * By Mr. Mallory: From citizens of Wash- ington and Georgetown, in the District of Co- lumbia. also numerously and very respectably signed, making the same prayer as the pre- ceding memorial.

Mr. Evans introduced a resolution in the Board of Aldermen instructing the com- mittee representing the interests of the Cor- poration before Congress to ask an amend- ment of the charter, empowering the Corpo- — to elect Magistrates and Notaries Pub- ic Mr. Busey offered a substitute, asking that all Polics Magistrates appointed or elected by the Corporation be empowered to act as Jus- tices of the Peace in and for the city of Wash- ington. Upon this a long and earnest debate ensued, the question of an elective Judiciary being the perticular subject of discussion. The debate was participated in by Messrs. Evens, Busey, Riggs, Dove, Bayly, Smith and Pearson Mr. Houston remarked that though he could say he was thankful for the kindness of Con- gress to the citizens of Washington, to which be could bear tertimony, he regarded the ree- elution as s matter of moonshine., They might send a cart load of such resolutions be- fore the District Committee and they would bave no effect. The substitute offered by Dr. Busey was adopted.

It must, however, be a consolation to the gentlemen with whom effort originated to feel that, at least, it was fully appreciated by the highly respectable audience which attended last evening at Ca- rusi’s Saloon. The orchestra acquitted itself very well in | the execution of the really difficult overtures and concerted pieces which were selected for e occasion; but Mr Wm. H. Pajmer’s tri- — in that magnificent ‘‘Concert Stuck,” by Weber, and in his ‘‘ Fantasia’ on themes from ‘‘ Maritana,’’ was complete, and we have no doubt had Thalberg been present that he would have joined in the genera! applause whioh our talented young pianist clicited. Then came our accomplished vocalist, Mr. F N. Crouch, whom we never heard in better voice or to greater advantage. in his grand basso solo from the ‘‘ Stabat Mater,” and in his beautifal ballad, for which he received an enthusiastic encore; but what entitles him to still further commendation is the fact that, in consequence of the absence (from indisposition) of the violoncelle player of the orchestra, be spontaneously took up the instrument snd most effectually played the t throughout the whole evening; thus doing double and very arduous duty, for which he received the park’ g thanks of the orchestra, which com- prised the best professional talent in our city, and for its selection we are much indebted to Mr. Schutfer, the accomplished first-flute player, whose gratuitous services and valu- able musical aid on all such occasions entities him to the thanks of our community. We really wish the Concert could be repeated, but to an overflowing house, so that our local musical talent might be more generally appre- ciated. The President of the United States was among the number of eminent personages present last night, but, with the modesty pe- culiar to him, he entered so quietly (taking a seat at the foot of the hall, instead of the seat reserved for him,) that his entrance was not at first noticed. On his being recognized, the full orchestra struck up Jlail Columbia, with brilliant effect, introducing it with the roll of drums and the thunder of cannon. A New Association.—A meoting will be held this evening in the Common Council chamber, City Hall. at 74 o’clock, pursuant to a resolution adopted at a previous meeting of law students and members of tho profesrion for the purpose of forming a permanent and higbly important association, when Theo. Read, Esq , being called to the chair, and the Objects of the meeting fully discussed, the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions wera unani- mously adopted : Whereas no law school or other means of in- struction apart from private study is afforded the law student in this city, (a blessing which every other profession here enjoys,) and bo- lieving that great benefit would accrue from an association for developing legal knowledge, exciting a laudable ambition and spirit of in- quiry, and improving its members in the art of public speaking and the duties of thoir chosen forum, the har— * Resolved, That we will form a Law Associ- ation, under such name and for such purpose as may be hereafter provided in aqonstitution. Resolved, That we will meet this evening at the Council chamber to select a committee to draught a constitution and by-laws, and to suo such other means as may best accom- plish the objects had in view; and Resolved, That not only students at law, but members of the profession generally are respectfully invited to attend and co-operate in our enterprise. @.

Tse Bat given by the Liberty Club, last night, at Tewperance Hall, wasa fine affair— the room having been most tastefully deco- rated for the occasion An interesting scene occurred during the Aisa | being the pre- sentation to the President of the Club, Mr. A. Newton, by Miss M. E Shreeves, of a hand- some boquet; in the presentation and acoept- ance of which neat addresses were delivered.

Centre Manget.—This morning, the mar- ket presented a more lively appeurance than it has for many weeks. The stands in the market were all occupied, and many Wagons and carts were placed on the avenue, from Seventh to Ninth streets. The pricea have not changed materially in any of the departments of the market. Tue Fate of St Paul's Lutheran Church, at Metropolitan Hall, (next to the Star Build- ings,) the Orphan’s Fair at Iron Hall, and the Presbyterian Fair, in Schneider's Building, are now in fulltide of successful operation, and are all deserving of encouragement. An excellent way to spend anevening is to devote an hour to each fair. Try it.
