Well did they perform their part, as testified by the collection there of some five or six hundred ladies and gentlemen, babited in costumes of every age and variety, far richer and more artis- tic In their “getting up” than were ever before assembled togetber on this side of the Atlantic. ‘The cards of invitation specified that fancy cos- taumes were obligatory. So all but a very few very sedate people, in number not more thaa two dozen in all, were so habited that it would have been difficult for their most intimate friends to know them at a glance. The gay company began to assembie at 9 p.m. from which hour to eleven, successive arrivals blocked up the way at the intersection of f atid 19th streets, for a square in every direction midnight all seemed to have “got the hang thing.” arid the awkwardness of want of ity with the personation of assumed char- acters was fairly worn off.

Mr. Eleazer Williams, who is claimed to be the son of Lonis , and now rightful heir to the throne of France, was sitting at his tedgings, No. 47) Pennsylvania avenue, arranging some papers between the hours of 12 and | o'clock last night, he was startled bya man suddenly entering his room and advancing to- wards him with an uplifted dagger, who ex- claimed throngh his teeth, “ Ive got you at last, have 12°?

Mr. Wiliams is not injured, but is now almost prostrated by the excitement and exertion of the contest for his life. What could have causedany man to thus attempt the life of a poor and. inof- fensive old man, who must soon pass to his grave, is past the ceraprehension of any one, and the greatest of all mysteries. It is Possible that the assassin m: ve been in search of another person. Mr. Williams thinks be has seen the villain several times before, and believes him to be a man who stopped at the house for several days (perhaps to learn bis room and habits) but left two or three days si Will any one solve this mystery? A policeman should be constantly stationed at this locality, as it is the eadquarters of the no- torions ‘States’ Hose,’? and other confedera’e ganzs.who have so long infested the Fifth Ward.

The bill was discussed at some length postponed until to-day. ‘The Senale then took up the bill for the benefit of the public schools iu the city of Washington ; and the bill bad a thicd reading. in the House, on metion of Mr. Dodd, the Sen- ate bill to establish an auxiliary guard was taken from the Speaker's table, read twice, ordered to be printed, referred to the Conunittee of the Whole, and made the special order with the House bill on that subject reported from the Committee on the District of Columbia Mr. Goode, gave notice that he should move to £o into Committee of the Whole for the consider- ation of the bill as eariy as practicable.

The sumclaimed in this case is between £00,000 and $900,000, and principle to be settled involves some eight or illions of dollars. The claim is founded on eral mortyage of all the lands in New Mex- with certain exceptions, which lands were ceded to the United States by Mexico under the Gadsden treaty of 1653; and the claimant now seeks to foliow them, or their proceeds in the hands of the United States, upon the ground of bis prior mortgage Mr. Carlisle opened the argument for the peti- tioner, and Mr. Blair replied for the Govern- ment. Adjourned A Harp-neapep Daxxey.—On Tuesday after- hoon, as the passenger train was on its way to Baltimore the engineer perceived, at a point be- tween the Annapolis and Elkridge Landings, a colored man lying down with his bead partly on the track.

Delhi had been indicted for keeping a disorderly house. A principal witness for the prosecution, Mr. Conner, testified that the house bore a notorious- ly bad name; the witness lived next door to the defendants, nnd was continually disturbed by the noise of fighting, cursing, swearing and loud dis- turbance enacted in the defendant’s house; large numbers of rowdy characters congregated there, and fights were frequent. ‘The witness had been very much annoyed by the riotous proceedings - and about the place on oft-repeated occa- sions. Mr George W. Uttermuhle testified that he lived opposite the defendant, on Massachusetts avenue and could bear witness to tue scenes of riotous conduct on the part of the regular fre- quenters of the defendant’s house; the place bore a bad name among all the neighbors; witness had many times been disturbed during the day, and up to 9o’clock at night by fighting, swear- ing and other disturbances going en inside and outside the house, and on the premises of the de- fendant. Edward F. Queen and others corroborated the above statements. * rete der Richard Butt (a uryman of the panel o! this term) being Ctiea for the defence, testified that he hed Ses visited the pl and, aside from rough playfulness on the those he bad seen there, he had not thought it a disor- derly house. George D. Spencer was called, and testified that, having been the Master of the Northern Liberties Market, he bad frequently visited the place—as often as three times a wéek, and on Saturday nights; had seen large numbers of per- sons there at various times; and sometimes they would get a little boisterous; but, the defendant would, by exercising a mild suasion, reduce them to order; had never seen him put pore out of his house for bad behavior there; his house was the only one in the neighborhood where per- sons coming to the market, butchers, ete., could obtain a snack of victnals during their attend- ance on market days; witness had been there fre- quently with the butchers and others; but could not say that he had seen anything in the conduct of defendant, or his customers, to warrant the charge of keeping a disorderly house. Several other witnesses for the defence testified, corroborating the above statements. Why were not officers Suit, Watson and Gorm- ley, the witnesses in this case before the grand jury, called for the United States? On their tes timony the indictment was brought we hear. W hat screw is loose ! This case is of some importance, as the villain who attempted to assassinate the steward of the British minister escaped by fleeing into or through this house; whieh, in connection with former complaints concerning rowdies who resort there, mukes it, to say the least, a very proper locality, near which to station a policeman, in times like the present. Tax River.—tThe late rains bave left the river in excellent condition forthe prosecution of the fisheries.

Mr. Penn retired within bis house. when the attacking ak commenced throwing stones and bricks at it. hie. Penn thereupon took his gun and fired at the party, but missed them. ‘The shot took effect in the thigh and back of a white man, and inthe head and shoulders of a negro man, who were passing at the time. For- tunately the wounds inflicted are slight. Mr. Penn gave himself up to the officers, who took him before the mayor, by whom he was held to bail in the sum of $10) to appear at the next term of the County Court. We learn that the parties who made the assault on Mr. Penn are known and will be arrested.” At Foot or Sixtu Srreet, the public jand private improvements which have been effected, and are now going on, show the increasing ten- dency of business in that direction.

Correspondence of The Star. Gronsztown, April 9, 1838. Notwithstanding the very inclement aspect of the weather, jast night the assemblage of persons at the M. P. Church, to hear the lecture of Rev. Mr. Reese was very good; not so large, however, as we had anticipated. The lecture certainly ‘was a very touching, as well as brilliant, produc- tion. This is the first of a series which bave been gotten up by a number of philanthropic gentlemen, members of the church, for the pur- pose of raising funds to assist in erecting a build- ing for Sabbath School purposes. We must not forget to give due credit to the excellent choir of the church, and their assistants for their fine per- formance of ‘Home, Sweet Home,’? and other ema yesterday evening To be plain. the per- formance of the Choir on each evening of the lec- tures will more than repay every visitor for the fee charged for admiasion. An invidnal, onknown, supposed to be an Irishman by birth, and a laborer from the water works, went last night toa frame shed belonging to Mr. Joseph Nicholson, situated on the side of the Canal, and near the Alexandria Aqueduct, crept into an open window, doubtless seeking a shelter under which to sleep, fell through the floor and killed himself. He Dues him acar- t bag, which may lead to his recognition. Complaints ayainst the High street Sabbath afternoon markets are beginning rather to annoy us. The fact is, we have called the attention of the authorities to it so repeatedly, and seeing no efforts made to break up the nuisance, that we are beginning to think the law enacted some years since for its suppression was a work of supererc- gation, from the fact that, notwithstanding it is violated in the most pernicious manner, every Sabbath, no one ever attempts to enforce its pro- visions. We have been informed by some of our most respectable citizens, that to such an extent is this intolerable violation of the peace and sanc- tity of the Sabbath frequently carried, that it is with the utmost difficulty that gentlemen and la- dies eos by ean keep the footways; and we have heard of many instances where ladies have actually been forced by the crowds of decency- violators into the street. We sincerely hope the police will be on band next Sabbath, and if they cannot break it up, let our City Counciis enact a law prohibiting those country wagons (chiefly butter dealers) from coming within the limits of the Corporation on the Sabbath. One of the worst features in this nuisance is that its locality is in the immediate vicinity of three of our churches We hope, therefore, that our city authorities will take immediate and vigorous steps for its abate- ment, Spectator. GrorcRrtown Scnoo.s.—The Board of Guard- jans had their monthly meeting on Wednesday evening, 7th April, when the report of the com- mittee to take a census of the town was received, showing the whole number of children between 5and 18 years of age, to be 2,278, of whom 679 went to private schools, 161 to public schuols and 1,133 to no school at all! In view of these figures, a resolution was passed asking the Counciis forthe remainder of the poll tax, to enable the Board toestablish stil! another school inthe northwest part of the town. The Board appointed Sarah Pearson, now a pupil in the Senior Female department, to a sub- assistant teachership from the Ist of April. After approving sundry bills they adjourned. Mr. Epviror: Has Georgetown been retroceded. to Maryland, or been turned out on the commons to die? The Committee on the District of Colum. bia, In the Senate, refused to include it in the bill for the benefit of the public schools, and now it is to be excInded from the protection of the police force about to be established; not only depriving it of such protection, but driving the lawless into it out of yourown city. If this injustice and wrong is inflicted on the people of the town, you need not wonder if they are driven, in pure self- defence, to inflict summary vengeance on the dis- turbers of the peace of the place, should the result now feared be realized. . ee GEORGETOWN ADVERTISEM’TS, Perato ES.—200 bushels White Mercer and 30 busneis Red Mercers just received ichooner Rouch and Ready, and for sale in lots to suit pur- chasers.
