LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Cmartss Macxar ox Esciise SoNe AxD Soxe Writers.—Dr. Mackay’s second lecture, as well as his first here, was largely attended, and by a thoroughly appreciative audience. A he front-seat notables were pointed out Lord pier, Healey the artist, and brilliant ** Belle Brittain,’ accompanied by a gentleman = oe to be Col. Fuller. Panctuatty at eight the poet made his a r= ance, and, with quiet, tndemoustrative’ been, very much the reverse of the ‘ fussiness’’ and ostentation sometimes displayed by modern lec- turers entered upon bis subject. He adverted to the early history of English song, and traced it down, step by —~ to our present day Of the vompositions of the Druitts, who were poets as well ax seers, no traces have come down to and of the Bards, Who succeeded the Druid: << fragments Were to be found, such as those lected by Saimes McPherson and woven to- xetber im the songs of Ossian. Later came the traditions of King Arthur, King Cole, and Kin; Mertia, embalmed in Saxon song, and which had “as strong a hold on the popular mind of that time ws the Indian tales of Cooper and other writers “pon English or American readers now. Then succeeded the minstrels of the Norman era, who were high in pus regard, and played an im- Portant part in the history of the times. They Were not only song-writers and musicians, but they were also the newspaper editors and report- ers of the day. putting into verse the last horrible wurder and fove tragedy ; and their advent cre- uted as much excitement as does now the appear- ance, in a provincial town, of Jenny Lind or the latest ballet company from London or Paris. Specimes of the minstrelsy of the times were mentioned: as “* Chevy Chase”’ “« Robin Hood ,”* «Fair Rosamond,”? and the ‘Babes in the Wood.’ The last-named ballad has made robin redbreast a sacred bird in England. The Eayglish boy will rob the nest of any other bird that sings, or cannot sing; but to disturb the robin, the bold beggar with the scarlet bosom, is cor ered un- lucky, as well as ernel. If robins only knew how many of their lives have been spared through an “‘old song,’ they would hover o'er the graves of poets and strew them with leaves, as they did the unburied children, in grateful remembrance of the power and tenderness of poetry. The minstrels lost favor upon the invention of Printing: they ceased to be favorites of the weal- thy, and found their patrons only among the Poor. At last, an act of Parliament branded them as strollers and vagabonds—a term which, with a little extension, might apply to Piccilomini, or Jenny Lind, or—most hornble to think of—even toalecturer’ Chancer’s Canterbury Tales afford frequent aliusions showing the love of the Eng- fish people in his time forsongs. Of the xon inted on large sheets of paper and termed ** broadsides,” very few have reached us of a date anterior to the reign of Henry VIL. Some specimens of these ** broadsides” are p dn the British Musennr. a E A similar class ofs is now sold gland at the rate of a ya yard. Hevry » with all bis love-making and wife-killiaz, found time to write two or three songs, specimens from which were given by the lecturer. One of these was entitled The Sweet ing,’’ of what would now be ‘- The Sweetheart.” and another was called ‘- The Loyal Lover.’ Among the song-writers of this period were Sir ‘Thomas Wyatt and the Earl of Surrey, both of ‘whom suffered on the block, for treason, at a tim? when it was not very well defined what treason ‘was, or was not. Then came the golden Eliza- bethian era, with Spencer, Drayton, and others. Among the celebrated songs of this time, and many of which are preserved in Percy’s Reliques, ds the famous Poaching song “It’s my delizt, of a shiny night,” and the ‘+ Mariner's Glee,” pro bably the oldest sea song in British literature. At this time flourished Martin Parker, who wrote the song, ‘- Ye gentlemen of Enyland,”’ which ‘was the model of | Campbell's « Mariners of Eng- land.” The song-wilters of the age of Shaks- peare were many and excellent. Some of them wrote almost as well as Shakspeare—none better. ‘There were Beaumont and Fletcher, Ben John- son, Thomas Heywood, Christopher Marlow, George Wither, Carew, Donne, Raleigh, Wotto and George Herbert. Many of Ben J songs were of exquisite grace, such as “ Dri me only with thine eyes.” But Shakepeare was the prince of the song-writers of his day. It might be said that bad he not been the greatest of dramatists he would have ranked as the great- est of epic ts, the greatest of historians, the ereatest of lawyers, or the greatest in whatever e directed his mind. ‘Under the greenwood tree.” and * Ta.e, oh take those lips away,’* were mentioned as among hig inimitable gems of song. Later than Shaks) Waller. Dryden and a host of lesser stars ton was a musician, and understood all th shades and niceties required in poetry mea besung. He is too great and mighty for the pop- ular appreciation in his epics. He sits blind on the cold, showy heights of Parnassus, elevated above our sympathies; but when he sings his “* Comus,” ** Penseroso,” and “ Lycidas,”’ we take Lim to our hearts. In his songs were com. bined try and music, Italian sweetness and English force. Cowley. hough a great poet, did not excel in song writing. He could not distin- guish one note of mnsie from another. His Bac chanalian paraphrase of Anacreon, “ ‘The thirsty earth drinks the rain,” was still sung by boon companions. Dryden's songs were better a japted to music than Cowley’s, but were less fii for de- cent society Dryden belonged toa bad, licen- ge. t Restoration, when the only sed at all was that of personal cour- sueceeded that of every lover was a shepherd cian name—a ** Strephon” eran “ Adonis ;"* aud when every lady was a shepherdess with a crook, was dressed | opera dancer, and was called *‘ Chloe” o phonsiba ** Love was * Capid.”?

It was not known with certainty who wrote the noble song of + God save the King,”? but it was believed to be Carey [t was difficult even with modera songs to al- ways fix the authorship. Moore was accused humorously by * Father Prout’? of having stolen bis Irish songs, and the world took the accusa- insober earnest. Campbell had been charged With stealing from a hed choolmaster, and Wolfe had » dec! bean unblushing larist. The song of heer, boys, cheer.” the author of which the speaker happened to know rather intimately, (laughter,) had been at- tributed toa lady who happened to write a paro- dy upon it, and the authorship was yet under discussion in “Notes and Queries’? and the * Edinbargh Review.” Various song Ih were spoke: 4% Writers from the time of Charles of: Pope. © Percy, ny, wilt thou yo with me’*? was so highly es- teemed by Robert Burns, Charles Dibdin, that English song writer who was equally excellent as a musician and poet. His song of * Tom Bow- lin.” which the Edinbarg Review had styled val car, was recited by the Poet with exquisite pathos. Dibdin left a son, Thomas Dibdiu, who wrote some sea-songs scarcely less popular than the father's ‘The lecture was concluded by the recitation of three warmly applawted original songs: the first upon the * Old, oid subject of Love.’* the second calied ** Nobody,” and the third the ‘ Cheerful Heart.” A Desrerate Lear —Saturday night,a young man, nemed McCienahan, from Baltimore, was arrested by watchmen Donaldson and Donnelly, and taken to the Gaardhouse for jamping through fl Weaver's confectionery store, valued at $5. He said that he had been attacked by three men, and one of them struck himon the mouth with iron knuckles, cutting bis epper lip entirely through, and start- ing alt his upper teeth. Mr. Weaver thought the wound was caused by tre broken glass; but after hearing the statement of MeClenahan, the Justice, Donn, dismissed him to go to a surgeon to have the wounds dressed, deeming it unfair and imprisoned, when Heattu ov tHe Crry —Themonthly report of the Commissioner of Health for the month of December shows that the city has been unusual- ly healthy.

Among other proceedings, under the resolution adopted at the previous meeting, ‘that the pas- tors and rectors of the several churches of this city be requested to present the Bible cause to their respective congregations, and have contri- butions made during the present year, at such time and in such form as may be most agreeable to themselves; also, that the Secretary ascertain at what particular time such presentation can conveniently be made in each chureh;’’ it was reported that he had communicated on this sub- Ject, in writing, verbally, or both, with the pas- tors of twenty-three of the churches of the city, a number of whom had fixed a | ar strnadl! or the month forthe (sib ace indicated in the resolu- tien; others had the question of time now under conideration, The annual meeting of the Society occurring on the last Monday of April, the desire was expressed that, if practicable, the contribu. tions should be made before that time. The report of the exploring and distributin agent forthe First Ward was Presented, read, and, on motion, accepted, and directed to be filed’ From this report {t appears that the agent had visited, in the First Ward, 1,160 families. and found 48 of them destitute of any portion of the sacred Scriptures. Of these, 32 were su plied, 9 by sale and 23 by donation. Sixteen refiged to receive, giving various reasons for their refusal. ‘Twenty additional families, which the agent was led to infer were destitute, refused definite information. umber of Bibles sold 22, number of Testaments 32; amount of sales $17.15. Bibles donated 14, Testaments 9. Of the 48 destitute families 26 were white and 22 colored. Among the cases of Intefest met with the agent mentions the following : ‘In one family visited, the mother informed me she had been housekeeping nine years, and never hada Bible; said she had long desired one, but her hushand being a laboring man, and haying a large family, there were always so many uses for his earnings, that the purchase of a bible had been neglected. When told that the Society's aim was that no family, desirous of possessing, should be without a copy, and that it distributed gratuitously to those unable to pur- chase. she accepted one, with many expressions of gratitude, saying she loved the ‘Bible and wonld make it her daily companion. - Another had been three years withouta Bible, ing she had given the only one she had Ppos- sessed to her son when he went to sea; with ny thanks she accepted the Society's gift. ~Both the above ead been members of the Christian Church, and by their conversation manifested a high appreciation of that Word of which they bad been so long destitute. and with out the knowledge that itcould be thus obtained. The Axent thus closed his report : © The spirit of missions so m nifestly exhib- ited by the Young Men’s Christian Association, in their inission schools, so successful in doing good to the rising generation; by the ladies in their Tract and Mite societies, diligent and pow- erful in spreading abroad a knowledge of divine things, have been silent but valuable auxiliaries to the Bible Society, anticipating the wants of the needy and supplying those wants. “1 now close my work, thanking. you and the manazers for their constant kindness; and pray- ing ever forthe blessing of Heaven upon every geod word and work performed in our midst; that from Washington may go forth spiritual in- fluence to bless our whole land”?

Strapping Case —Between | and 2 o'clock Sun- day morning six journeymen bakers, who are engaged inthe bakery of J. F. Havenner, when returning home were attacked on Pennsylvania avenue, between Four-and-a-half and Sixth streets, by a party consisting of three men, who inquired their nativity, and after a short parley apparently ina playtal manner, they commence: beating the bakers, stabbing one through the arm and inthe side; his name is John Fox. An- other, Alexander Nelson, was stabbed twice in the back, below the right and left shou blades, inflicting two very serious and, it was feared. fatal wounds. Another, named’ George Loughtner, was struck in the face and knocked down. The remainder escaped without serious ary The attack was not expected by them, and they were totally unprepared. Fox and Nel: son were conveyed to the Infirmary, where their wounds were dressed, and proper attention paid them. We learned this morning that they were doing ax well as could be expected. The attack was made by a number of hack- men, aud the auxiliary guards tmmediately set to work to arrest the [pedo It was with great ditticulty that the witnesses could be found. The description given of two of the men caused the arrest of J ON. sely and Charles Walling, this morning, by Watchman Horner and Ofticer Yeatman. Two of the principal witnesses were dl, Gotlieb Stoet® and John Casey. but d_not identify either as of the attacking y. Casey said that after the stabbing oc- curred the fellow who did it ran into the street and langhed heartily, and he thought he should recognise bim by his laugh, but he did not know his name. The prisoners were dismissed, there being no testimony to connect them with the as- saulf. The matter is still in mystery. ASSAULT aND Barrery.—Last night, Mr. BE. C. Date was knocked down on F street, near Fif. teeath, by a Frenchman named Bargot, and his shawl taken. The act was seen by 2 number of persons, who sent for the police. Bargot went » Lis house near by and locked the doors, and en the olficers arrived refused to admit them Two remained to watch the house, and one went and obtained a warrant, and returning forced the door, arrested Bargot, aud recovered the shawl. ‘The evidence was heard by Justice Donn, and Bargot assigned to the cells atthe guard-house to aw: (for Court or a commitment to jail.
