LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Seitmsontan Lecture.—Monday evening wag the ocrasion of another very interesting lecture at the Smithsonian Institution. There was a large andience in attendance, by whom the discourse was heard with marked attention. The lecturer was Mr.G Gajani, and bis topic the “‘Catacombs of Rome.”’ . He commenced with remarking that, although natural grottos and subterraneai caverns were probably the earliest abiding places of mankind, there is, nevertheless, a sense of the horrible abont them. (ne subterranean place, however, which should awaken less of the emotion of hor- ror than others, because it was first the place of refnge. and afterwards the sacred burial ground of the primitive Christians is subterranean Rome. This is acity of itself, with its passages and sa- loons, its chambers and corridors, all plainly de- lineated far below the surface of the earth. To vesure it is envelo in eternal darkness, save when lighted up by the fitful glare of the visit- er’s torch. No sun, nor moon, nor stars ever shed their effulgence on its streets and lanes There, too, silence usually reigns, and very sel- dom is the footfall of man end within its deep echoing vanits. It is now, indeed, a city of the dead. Itwas not so always, for the time has been when these underground passages and cav- erns were the bomes of oa, women and chil- dren, who, fleeing hither from persecution, found in them a secure place of refuge. The lecturer said there bave been divers specn- lations as to the reason why ard by whom these catacombs were excavated What seemed to him the most rational theory fs, tbat thelr excavation ‘was commenced by ¢ Etruscans, who dug thence a kind of cement, peculiar to the earth in that locality, which they used for building par- —. A — quantity of this was required for building their cities. It was, le observed, in the mouth of one of the catacombs that Romulus and Remus are said to have been found with their strange nurse, the she-wolf, and as the early Christians of Rome also found refuge in these vaults from Pagan persecution. it may be said that both Pagan and Christian Rome came forth from the catacombs to the conquest of the world. For the same purpose that the Etruscans had commenced the Romans continued the excava- tiens, for they also used the cement for building ; and it is nsed, the lecturer said, even down to the present day. and is now acommodity of com- merce. Thus the excavations were constantly increased in size. As it would not do, however, to dig all in one place, for by that means the city won'd be undermined, various vaults or corri- dors, leading from the main entrances, had been made; and from these there are still others Azaiu, in some places shafts are sunken in the floors of the vaults and other excavations ae made at a considerable depth below; and still others below these for several sucee This earth, said the lecturer, i: 3 readily cut with a spade, yet the sides and roofs of the vaults are not liable to cave or fallin. It is impervious to water, and hence the catacombs are always dry, while their numer: us opefings admit of thorongh ventilation, notwithstanding theirextent. It it not known, said Mr. G_, what is the extent of these excavations, as many of them are yet unexplored; but should we put te- gether wkat are known, they would make prob- ably a distance aggregately of five hundred miles They are not confined to the ground beneath the city of Rome, but extend miles away in different directions, aad have openings into the upper world in numerous seciuded places beyond ibe city The shafts, the lecturer thought, may have been dug for clandestine purposes, by robbers who lived in the vaults, or by the early Christians who were thus enabled to find their way to places of security without attracting thither the atten- tion of their persecutors. The lecturer said that betore Christianity was introduced into Rome, the catacombs were used as burial places by the poor and common peopie. They were 2lso at times the abode of gangs of robbers. S-veral semi-fabulous stories, which originated in con- nection with this latter circumstance were fe- lated, among which was the mythical account of the slaying of the robber chieftain Esquillino by Hercules, at the entrance of what {x now known as the catacomb of Esquilino. During an epi- demic in Rome, this same ¢ was used fora piace of deposit for the dead bodies, which were thrown in ea masse. The consequence was that it became a pubiic nuisance, and although in the heart of the city, the effiuvia emitted d:ew thither vultures and other similar bids. This fact gave rise to many monstrous stories of a su- perstitious character. When persecution causéd the Christians to avail themselves of the protection aad conceal- ment afforded by these caverns the common peo- ple of Rome associated their names with every- thing evil and demoniaca! on that account; and that, no doubt, bad the effect of reta:ding the growth of Christianity in Rome toa very consid- erable extent. The Christians. meanwhile, be- came to regard the catacombs as sacred places, and after persecutions against them ceased they continued to deposit their desd within these vast and mysterious vaults, and deemed such burial a high privilege. Vhen Rome was overrun by the northern tribes, the barbarian hordes searched the cata- combs for trrasures, opening the graves and dex- ecrating the bod.es of the dead in th-ir efforts to secure whatever of value might be on their per- sons. This desecration affected the estimation of the catacombs so much in the minds of the Chris- tians, that subsequently they disregarded them, and again they became places of mystery and su Perstition be lectorer related numarous anec- dotes in connection with them, which occurred during the ages.~ Finaliy,a monk accident- ally fell into one of the shafts, and, when rescued, his curiosity Ata Sr him to explore the cata- combs and copy the inscriptions on the tombs This life he led for thirty year-,and his copies of the inse: iptions are still preserved in the museum a: Rome. The a areof both Pagan and Christian origin; and the lecturer remarked tha: while the former allude to dea’h only as a horror to be. dreaded, the latter beam with hope of a bricht faturity to come. Mr. G. delivered another interesting lecture last evening, and will also lecture again on Monday evening. ‘Tae Loxvrtes oy re Seasox.—Hammack & Bro’s. display in front of their_fine establishment, Pennsylvania avenue—W illard’s block—isa mese circumstance to the tempting things for the pal- ate within doors we saw there yesterday after- noon.

More IxcenDtarism —About twelve o'clock jast night the shouts of a woman, crying fire, at- tracted the watchmen on the beat near the Capi- tol, tothe corner of B and 2d streets, where they discovered that an attempt had been made to start a fire in the cellar of the brick house occu- pied by Eliza Leach.

Tax Wasuixeton Turatre.— London As- surance’ was put upon the stage last night more satisfactorily both in respect to the cast and to the genera! details than often happens in this fast, superficial age. The house was crowded, and before such an audience the actors were of course inspirited to do thetr best, and nothing better could have been desired than the perform- ance of the company, which in fact so mirably sustained Mr. Mathews as to come up to hix standard, and rendered the real excellence of his acting less apparent through want of contrast. ‘This play is announced for repetition to-night. and from its intrinsic metits, the superior man- ner in which it ix acted. and the fact that with its represeutation we see the last of Mr. Mathews, the theatre will probably be even more fully—if that be ‘ible—and brilliantly attended than on last night. On Monday night, as everybody will be glad to hear, John Brougham, the renowned wit, au- thor, and comedian, and who has so long been one of the “ busy B’s’’ st Burton’s theatre, will commence a short engagement. So it will be seen the managers are keeping their promise fully with the public Tur Bautimore Rowpirs who, some time since, swarmed from the parent hive in Balti- more, and have since infested Washington,xeem to have a notion that the city belongs to them. They take possession of our streets and perform their acts of rowdyism with a cool xelf-posses- sion, entirely bevend the *‘cheek’? of our native hard cases. On Tuesday, a constable from Bal- timore, named Ford, came to this city in search of a fugitive from justice, named H. Byrne, ebarged with rioting in that city. Some of hix old acquaintances, with whom jn bis capacity of law officer, he had doubtless come in collision in the Monumental City. ascertained that he was here. and for some days have been in search of him. Thursday afternoon, when Mr. Ford was abont leaving in the cars for Baltimore, his ad- versaries recognised him. and, in a moment, he was beset by a crowd, who seemed bent on forc- ing him away with them, alive or dead. He was rescued by the police officers at the depot, who a, him over the high railing, and got him safel¥intothe cars. Pleasant acquaintances, these Baltimore chaps ! [communicateD Mr. Evtror: If my memory serves me aright a law was enacted but a few weeks since by the City Councils, preventing the organization of fire companies, without the consent of the corporate anthorities, and ordering the police to take pos- session of any apparatus belonging to any com- pany existing in violation of the provisions of the act Unquestionably the law referred to is wise and proper, the tax payers being already sufficiently taxed to support companies now in existence; and another good reason for its enact- ment is, that at the present time no earthly ne- cessity exists for the increase of the fire depart- ment. It is understood that there is in our city a hose company, lately organized, who exist in direct opposition to the provisions of the law referred to. who have taken their hose ree! to every recent fire, and who are permitted by the police to act thus with impunity. Gentlemen of the police, this is all wrong; you should discharge your duty without fear or favor. and if such fire company exists make them sensi- ble that the laws of the Corporation must be obeyed. Citizen. Tux INDIANS at THE PENITENTIARY.—Yester- day, 2 portion of the Sioux delegation, desiring to see how ‘bad men’? were treated by their white brethren, were conducted to the United States Penitentiary and shown the prisoners at work. When told that the prisoners were kept within the walls hard at work for years without + they siznifled, by a variety of guttural ex- their notion of the severity of the Punishment; but they were apparently impressed with horror on seeing an unruly convict confined ina dark, narrowcell. This seemed to the red men the most frightful ponishment conceivable; and such itno doubt would be to the native of the forest. To-nicut the venerable Remb:andt Peale, of Philadelphia, the artist to whom Washington sat twice for his portrait, will deliver the first of a series of addresses to be proecessed during the sittings of the National Convention of Artists, which will have its first meeting this evening. Mr. Peale’s address will, we understand, be illustrated by a series of pictures, arranged and lighted In a novel and effective manner. Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York: T. B Thorpe the “Bee Hunter;’? Mr. Brownlee Brown, and otber gentlemen well known in the world of Lit- erature and art will deliver addresses during the coming week. Tur Prax Famity —This really meritorious company of musicians will positively conclude their engagement in this city this evening, ax they appear in Richmond on Monday night. The chance of hearing them this evening should be improved el Centae Marxet.—This morning, there was a large attendance in the market and sales brisk.

Tae Terxis ApMrRat and suite, accompa- nied by various efficers of the Army and Navy, proceeded to-day to pay a visit to the Military Asylum. Tur Lecompton Constitution.—The debate on thix question in Congress may be said to be simply a continuation of that upon the Kansas- Nebraska act If all the speeches which have been made, in and out of Congress, on this vexed question, should be published they would em- brace. according to a safe estimate, more volumes than Philbrick has in his entire stock.

Quite a rascally trick was played upen one of our ney & fathers, on Thursday night, which sub- jected him to no little uneasiness of mind, and a long and tiresome walk. Dr. Maccall had gone some two miles or more out of town, to visit a patient, and while in the house of the patient some reckless, unknown fellows stole his horse and bugyy and carried them off, leaving the Dr. to search about on foot until a late hour for them and afterwards returned home on foot.
