Crimixat Covrr.—Yesterday, the jury in the case of the United States vs. Isaac Lambert, on charge grand larceny, found a verdict of guilty The next case taken up was that of the United States vs. James Aldridge, charging the defend- ant with stealing three sbirts. He was found guilty, and sentenced to sutter imprisonment in ¢ county jail for a space of six months and to Pay a fine of 31. be Court then took up the case of the United ‘States vs. James Thom mn, charging the defend- ant with the larceny of a coat val atSi. The Jory found a verdict of guilty, and Thompson ‘was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment in the bag of F. and to pay a fine of $1. Geo. umphries came up next on a charge of grand larcen whites jadult 18 females; 719 y. He was found guilty, and sen- tenced by the Court to one years* imprisonment in the District penitentiary. Mr. Norris. for defence in the cases of James ‘Thomas Gasty Price, yesterday convicted of grand la »and who yesterday made a mo- tion for a new trial, here announced that he should withdraw that motion. The jurors were here discharged until this morning at 11 o’clock; and the motion which had been submitted some weeks ago by Messrs. Morgan and Martin. for defence, for a new trial of the case of the United States rs. Jacob W Powers, found guilty at a former trial of assault and battery with intent to kill one Hillery, of Georgetown, D. C., was argued at some length by Messrs. Martin and Morgan for defence, and aury for Government The Court decided to hold the matter over for decision to-day. The Court sentenced Joseph Cunningham, con- vieted of grand larceny in two indictments, to three rs imprisonment in the District peniten- tiar! E meach case, making a period of six years In 5 Isaac Lambert also convicted of grand larceny in two cases, was also sentenced to the same term in the penitentiary as was given in the case of Cunniagbam. And then the Court adjourned To-day, the Court took up the case of the United States es. Wm_ Ewing, foran attempt at burgiary upon the honse of George W. Appleby, on the night of the 20th of November, 1557. ‘This case was pending when this report closed. Wat tm Ixpians vip ar tng SMITHSONIAN On Monday morning, about twenty of the Indian chiefs and warriors now in the city visited the Smithsonian Institution, and were conducted through the various departments. where they tvineed their surprise and delight, after their wild fashion. In the picture gallery (Stanley’s Indian paintings,) they were particularly inter- ested by the representation of a war dance around two captives—a woman and child. They were much disappointed at not finding portraits of any of their own tribes in the gallery. In the apparatus room, a number of them were indog-d to join hands, aud a severe galvanic shock was given them. Some of them gave vcnt to the significant ‘* Ugh,” indicating their sur- Prise, and turned fiercely about to discover the person they supposed had struck them; others Tubbed their arms and elbows, and, from the en- eral talk in their own language, one would sup- pose they had entered upon a scientific discussion of the nature of the singular manifestation. Afterwards several of them took shocks singly, and it was curious to witness the grim determin- ation with which these stoics of the wilderness undertook to asxnme that air of impassiveness which tradition asserts they maintain when un- dergoing torture as captives. But it was no vo; they had to knuckle to science, and, as one ailer the other of the astonished braves was doubled up, tarebled upon his knees, and knocked into a ey by the powerful battery, be was saluted by most uproarious jeers and laughter by his fellows Some of the party mounted the high north tower of the Institute ; but when at the top onl one of them could be prevailed upon to approac the edge and look down the dizzy height—most of them squatting down as svon as they reached the summit. One of them was observed placing small pieces ef tobacco on the parapet. The interpreter ex- plained that this was intended as an olfering to the Great Spirit, as the Ludians believed that at this beight they were nearer the Deity than they ad ever been before, and accordingly improved the opportunity to pay their worship. On descending the Indians had a grand war dsnce with singing, in the lecture room, and shortly after concluded thix visit, most interest- ing to beth the Indians and the ‘pale faces?’ present Attention PoLice.—Mr. Editor: Allow me through the medinm of your widely-circulated, paper, tocall the attention of the police to the fact that a party of boys, from eight to eighteen years of age. are in (he habit of meeting about the un- occupied honse on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Four-and-a-half street. They may be seen about there at all times, aud prove a source of destraction of property and a great annoyance to the neighborhood. They pet a rendezvous of the house spoken of, breaking the glass and forcing the Tocks with impunity; and no fasten- zs can be put on the doors to withstand them Th operty is assessed at over fourteen thou- sand dollars; and, as it ix assessed with other Property, it is to be hoped that it will be protect- ed by the en tion authorities. Janury 3, 1856. A Tax-Paver. Exrata.—Iin the advertisement of a wife want- ed, the types rendered the name of the advertiser “Daniel Pierce ;** it should have read +‘ Price.“ Mr. Price is known about town as the “ For- tune Teller,”’ and 4s dressing in the most bril- Mant colors to be bad for money. His printed citeulars announce that he has a‘ wife and fam- ily,” but he assures ux that he has been a wid- ower for some months, and be certainly pays the highest poxsibie compliment to the sex in pro- posing so soon to re-enter the matrimonial har- ness. We presume he will be successful, as several very nice sweet-scented notes h»ve al- ready been received here in answer to his adver- tisement. Scrreme Cocrt—Tuesday.—Ne.%.

Two persons, named Lémibert'abdCunningbam, have been convicted by the Criminal Couft of Yobbing the 'slivestore of Mr. Spates. Wilson, the State’s evidence, testified that the boots and 8 to the amount of.a , full and a barrel nearly full, were pode to Baltimore. They were there seized by the as stolen goods, and taken to the Central Police Station. Mr. Spates, hear, with a letter from Justice God- dard & the Mayor of Baltimore, went there to his property. He ap lied at the station- | recover his prope: Pp oe house to know if such g ¥ of the police officers retired and had a private consultation, after which they returned and told Mr. Spates that there had been some shoes there, but ft! Were not worth much and they had been divi an the men. Mr. Spates returned to this city without his property or any compen- sation theretor. Model policemen, those of Mayor Swann! Wantep—A Hovse or RrFver.—Last night, two small boys, one white and the other colored, were taken in an attempt to pilfer articles from a merehant’s window, and carried to the guard- house and kept until this morning. They being too small to oe h ed imprisonment, the witness did not appear. Officer McHenry gave them a lecture, the rough eloquence of which was made impressive by the exhibition of a well-worn cowhide, and induced earnest promises of better behavior in future; after which they were dis- missed. Wasninoton WAS A THRatre at Last.—The final tonches have been made upon the new Theatre; the gas arrangements are O. K.; the players are all on hand—and a remarkably good- looking party they are.—and the theatre will positively open to-night. Good! And if the audiences are not sufficient to demonstrate that a fair-sized, comfortable, well-conducted theatrical establishment can be abundantly sustained in Washington, we will lay down our claims to the giftof prophecy. A good bill is presented to- night, and other attractive performanges will follow. An ApsournNeD MeetiNG of the Jackson Dem- ocratic Association will be held This Evening at the rooms of Mr. Warturman, on Sixth street, between Louisiana and C street, for the purpose of completing the arrangements for the celebra- tion of the Sth of January, and other business. 1* Daniet Ratcuirre, President.
