Cross-ecamincd —The appearange of the ex- ternal wound was that of a gunsbet wound. It seemed to have penetrated in a mytt iine; the ost Morten exaimiuation proved that the track of the ball wax direct from its eatianee to the lace where it had lodyed; if the boy fell where io is represented to have fallen, if the shot was fied from the porch where itis represented to have been fired, the bali went into a re direction, and met no obstruction before striking ssile could en the yinisphecical appearance the ball was vesting against the as above stated 8.

Wasuinoton Tagarre.—Miss Heron, having achieved apparent impossibilities in making us admire, or, at least, cease to abhor, the Parisian ** Camille,’ now proceeds to new triumphs. To- hoe she undertakes the arduous character of «« Medea,”’ in her own translation from Legouve's tragedy. The piece, we understand, is to be carefully put upon the stage, as indeed is almost invariably the case at thix well managed estab- lishment. It is cast as follows: Medea, Miss Heron; Lycaon and Melanthus. {Medeq’s chil- dren,) Viola and Adele Pin 3; Creusa, M's Stoneall ; lanthe, Mrs. Ca-man; Creon, Mr. F Bangs; Jason, Mr. J. B. Howe; Orpheus. Mr. D. Whiting ; Corinthian. Mr. Russell. it is a to remind our readers that this tragedy will not be repeated. Miss Heron has shown a power of delineating with terrible effect the intensest emotion, snch as is called for in the part of Medea. ang her rendition of it will doubtless be a performance to be remembered. ‘The performances conclud+ with the com of “Naval Engagements,” so capitally acte lately at this theatre. witha highly appreciative audience,’ T re nocee jr - In the let was taken by M.: THE Weratuer.—Range of the thermometer trom Thursday:noon, Feb. 11, to this morning ; Morning.

Our citizens gener- ally seem to manifest less interest in the matter, and to be more careless as to what may be the resalt, than we bave often known before. Pretty much the only topic of general interest is the report of the special committee of the Senate, made some weeks since by Mr. Slideil, upon the subject of the District banks. This continues to be pretty thoroughly discussed, and in some instances pretty closely criticised, so far as its applicability to the necessities of the peo- ple of the District is concerned, by a large por- tion of all classes of our business men. And not- withstanding we have among us many who are in the main opposed to the local bank system of the country, and others who think that some re strictions should be placed upon them by the legislative powers under which they may exist, as yet we have heard but one opipion se eens in regard to the changes proposed by the ~ committee, and that is, that they are too de- cidedly radical in their character, and in such direct conflict with what bas beencommon in this District from time immemorial that ¢ enforcement of such a law — be the next thing to an impossibility, se long as the t ee for the Sreuietion of the banking Gnome of Virginia and Maryland are in existence, not- withstanding the penalty affixed for its violation might be ever so severe Were it neces ary to our purpose, we oould as- sign several reasons in support of our —-, either of which we think would be satisfactory toevery unprejadiced mind We are aware that the power lodged with those who would be charged with its execution Is great, but we are satistied from our short experience in such mat- ters that it would not be sufficient to the emer- gency.
