Rares Worxs or Art —It is seldom that the citizens of Washington, and the ‘‘ strangers within our gates,” have an opportunity of see- ing such a coilection of statuary and sculp- tured works of art as are now exhibited at McGuire's auction rooms. Just imported di- rectly from Europe, where they were evidently selected with refined taste, they richly repay the trouble of a visit from all who can appre- ciate beauty of design and exquisiteness of nish. . Prominent among the many elegant objects, is a miniature copy of the “(reek Slave, that master piece of American artistic genius It is placed on an elaborately decorated pedes- tal, ornamented with fine refeivos, and is pro- nounced the most exquisite fac-simile of the original ever imported. Retaining the purity of outline as ay as the ful contour of Powers’s unequaled oreation, it invites the admiration of all who see it, teovsor its own story eloquently yet persuasive! “The seateatias of ne Peudera” and of “ Psy- che,” in Parian marble, are beautifally exe- cuted, and each is — type x — ogical ject. Although classical in a - —— — are clothed with a veil of the purest ideality, and evince the most delicate appreciation of the beautiful . Different in character, yet equally attractive, is the statuette of the ““Cercassian Warrior,” every detail of his mailed attire elaborately rked out ¥ br pair of Grecian “Bacchante Vases,” with Fawn bandlea, are said to be the only pair in the United States, and the Pompeian Vases, of Bardiglio stone are equally admired. There are several patterns and sizes of vases, some of them well calculated for mantle ornaments. Exquisite Cusdets can but be attractive to the fair sex, especially one made of tortoise- sheil, and ornamented with antique camecs All these, with other works of art, are to be sold by Mr. Mctuire, at auction, on Friday morning, Feb 27, at ten o’ciock. and at the sane time he will sell a beautiful assortment of chased and silver-plated ware, consisting of Tea@Sets, Pitchers, Salvers, Goblets, Fruit- Stands, Sc. It will de 8 rare chance for our Congressional fricnds and others to purchase souvenirs to leave “grt — _here, So resents to carry home. Suc exquisite works Hi att have only to be seen to be admired, and merit a place in every parlor, as any one will 2ay who will call and examine them. ING STAR. Se: Lieut Ivrawrry Batt. —We expected to find a handsome attendance at Carusi’s Sa- loon last night but certainly had no expecta- tion of seeing such a gathering as was pre- sented to the eye on entering about nine o'clock. Six or seven hundred persons at least were present, a deserved compliment to this fine old oorps. The full dress parade of the company was universally admitted, we be- lieve, by old military stagers, to have fully ualied, if not surpassed, anything of the kind ever scen inthis city Esch movement was executed with a precision which called forth the heartiest applause. Upon the conclusion of the parade the floor was speedily occupied by an eager host of dancers, who inspired by the strains of With- ers’s capital bane permitted not a moment of good dancing time to be wasted. Not only the young and gay were present but we noticed not a few of our grave old citi sens who clbeit unused to the bail-going mood made an exception in favor of the Light [n- fantry. The Infantry have reason to be proud of their guests last night, and the city to be proud of the Infantry. Escort ror tae Presipext Erect —The ‘* Lancaster Fencibles’’ have tendered their services to the President elect, as an escort of honor on the occasion of the Inauguration, and have written to this ciiy to ascertain if they can obtain quarters in the event of their com- ing. Our citizens will remember the previous visit of this fine company here, and of its re- ception by Mr. Buchanan, then Secretary of State Ciacus.—Dan Rice again appears to-night with all trick horses, mules, &c. Messrs. Murray and Holiand, the Roman Brothers, also make their first appearance before a Washington audience. As this is the last week of Mr. Rice’s engagement we anticipate arash to see him before it is too late. To- morrow afternoon a performance will be given for the amusement of families and the “ /ite/e ones”’ at 22 o'clock. A Trrar—tThe proposed concert of the Pyne and Harrison troupe, soon to be givenio Alexandria, will prove a great treat tothe habitantsof that city, thousands of whom have a8 yet had no opportunity tohearthem. We predict for.them an overflowing house, for the Alexzandrians are famous for souls for the en- joyment of really good music. Wrman, chief of magicians, will astonish the natives by his wonderful feats of blere at Uid Fellows” Hall tonight. He is not only at the head of his profession, but he is “a gentleman and a echolar,’’ which goes to account for his uniform success wherever he visits. Guoreatown Cottege Capets.—The ay- enue waseniivened this morning by the ap- pearance of the Georgetown College Cadets, who dine this afternvon, by invitation, with Mr. Gathrie, the Secretary of the Treasury. The Cadets, as usual, made a fine display. They were sccompanied by Withers’ baud. Visitixe Freexex.—We learn that Howard Eagine Company, No. 34, of New York city, will be the guests of the Northern Libertice Fire Company during their stay in this city The Howard will doubtless be well taken care of, and be well pleased with their visit here, as No. 6 never do anything by halves. Festivat.—We would call particular at- tention to the fine Festiva! of the Ladies’ Mite Society of Union Chapel, now being held at tron Hall A fine display of attractive and useful objects is presented, and the object of the Festival isevery way deserving. Tax Attzxtioy of those concerned is called to the advertisement, in another column, of the meeting to night of the committee to Te- ceive the Twelfth Ward Democratic Associa- tion of Philadelphia JERUSALEM ayD ITs Exyinons —The last of the interesting course of lectures upon Je- rusalem, by Rey.
