And the board adjourned. Tue Asy.om axp City Farm —Saturday af- ternocn we were minded to fulfila promise made, to pay a visit to ‘*(Queen’s Villa,”’ on the banks of the Anacostia; so, taking a seat in one of the Navy Yard omnibuses, we were hauled from Sixth street west to Sixth street east, from whence a short walk brought us to theend of our jouraey. Here we were favored with the company of John R. Queen, Esq., who undertook to escort vs throogh the Asylum buliding and describe the plan and arrangement of the grounds. No better site could have been selected for the Asylum than this. Away from the populous Portion of the city, the inmates are not frequently subjected to the scrutiny of the curions, which, to some, js a far greater punishment than the law provides, though the majority care nothing for it. [t is located upon the bill overlooking the Anacostia; a healtby location, where the prisoners can have the tof pure air at all times, as well as pure water, which is supplied be § numerous springs in the hillside. The farm and garden is below the hill, extending tothe river shore. and is so ar- ranged that the prisoners cannot be seen at their labor, without the visitor ing into the enclo- sure, permission to do which must first be ob- tained from the Intendant. The crop consists of such vegetables as bring speedy sales at market, and require attention and labor in the Production, and so gives constant employment to the prison- ers and aids in the maintenance of the institution The new asylum, at present, appears to Progress erste he although it is now Angust,the second story is notarched in. There is great necessity for the speedy completion of this building. The great crowd «f persons sent there for punishment, the desperate character of most of them. and their frequent attempts to escape, make the neces sity for a strong, large and comfortable prison at this time apparent.” The temporary buildings are all of wood, (mere sheds,) small and uncom- fortable, and not at all adapted to the Purpose ; and the number of prisoners has so increased that the Intendant is now making a new coutri- vance to secure the females in a wooden shed on the bill. A short time since two men were sent down for offences. One was released by due course of law soon after, und the other took an opportunity to give “leg bail.’ He was pursued to the canal side, where he plunged in and swam tothe oppo- site shore; his pursuer followed and secured bim after a race of near two miles. After his return to the farm it was discovered that two United States warrants were issued for him and his more lucky companion. Desperate men such as these require iron bars and heavy walls to keep them. Strolleing about the hiliside and new build ing, we proceeded to view the farm. Approach- ing the spring below the hill, we not the prisoners in two sae the males and females separate, sitting on the hillside waiting orders from the gardener. They were ail atti in such clothing as suited themselves, some aj ring cleanly and decent, others filthy and dirty, indi- cating the degradation in which they were steeped Previous to their commitment. They were pro- miscuous crowds of ‘ black spirits and white.” The gardener gave the signal, and the females seized the watering pots and approached the res- ervoir to prepare to Water th: plants. The assist ant complained that Mary Brown would not work. ‘ Take her to the cell,’ was the reply. And, as she passed, we noticed that she wax clad in a slip of unbleached cotton, and on her back was the ‘‘ work-house”’ mark. “ That,” said our conductor, -* is the uniform of the lazy and tarb- ulent’ The workers passed on down, hiding their faces as they went. while others appeared careless and shameless. Some of these creatures are unfortunate, others want no better quarters. Strolling about the fart, the corn attracted our attention, although the ground is not favorable, few of the stalks were less than ten feet, and many Over sixteen feet high. The celery promises a tine yield, the Intendant has generally been su: cessful with its culture. Cantaloupes, too, prom- ise well, and are now very plentiful and large. though notnear ripe. A pateh of the oyster plants were in excellent condition, and will probably jag more inoney than an: other vegetable-on the tm. The potatoe crop is j the watermelons, too, are few and small—the soil is not swited to their culture. Altogether, the farm promises better this year than any previous year. The number of inmates of the Asylum ts 120; 71 of these are in the work-bouse. In the poor- house, there are 8 infants ; the remainder are very ed and infirm persons from various States. Of the whole number, the nativity is as follows: Ireland, 11; Maryland, 27; District of Columbia, 13; Pennsylvania, 7; Virgiuia, 7; hohner 5; New York, 2; Connect cut, 4; England, 1; Scot jand, 1. It is gratifying that of these inmates only about a sixth are natives of the District of Columbia. We wish there were none, and means were pted whereby the States would be obliged to maintain theirown paupers and rowdies. The plans of the Intendant for furnishing more con- stant and laborious employment for the able- bodied convicts by grading, paving and beauti- fying the T apoawy will have the effect to drive many of this sort back to the States where the were made paupers and rowdies, and it ix ho) he will soou begin the execution of hin plans, while there are so many of this sort in Washing- ten A FaigutecL Accipent oN THE BaLtimore axp Ome Raitzoap —On last Saturday after- noon, a Miss Reed, a resident of Georgetown, D.

Company, given last night in compliment to the visiting firemen from Philadelphia, at the hall ©f the Northern Liberties’ engine-house, was & pleasant and Bgrecable affair throughout.

To-morrow, the visitors goto Glymont as the guests of the jolly Northern Liberty boys. Centre Market —Th morning the market opened with a fair display of provisions in the various departments. The surrounding country ‘was well represented, both in the number of dealers and the quantity and quality of their stock. The avenue and Eighth street being torn up to lay the water and gas mains, the light showers, with which the day was ushered in, has furnished sufficient mud to make the approach to market space unpleasant. In other respects there was nothing of which our citizens could reason- ably complain, unless it was the prices and scar- city of funds. The day passed as pleasantly as usual ; business brisk at the stands, and pr about as quoted in the “ Star’’ of Saturday. More Frrinc.—Three gentiemen allege to us that walking up Sixth street on the night of the ball given by the Northern Liberties Fire Com- pany to their Philadelphia guests at their engine house, they stopped for a few moments on the side of the street opposite to hear the music, and at the conclusion of the dance then in progress, without any provocation, they were fired at from the direction of the engine house, apparently by some one who had just come down stairs, the ball lodging witbin a few feet of them. Distvureine Purtic Worsnip.—Editor of the Star: We take this opportunity, through the columns of your valuable paper, of suggesting to those living in the immediate vicinity of E street Baptist Church, the propriety of splitting their wood on Saturday, in order that the religious services may not be interrupted on Sunday; and, also, of impressing upon mothers, whose chil- dren are under no control in church, the expe- diency of leaving them at home. * Angust 9, 1853.
