A Beavrivvut Piece ov Ant.—We have just seen at the studio of Mr. Thomas Gagliardi, Capitol extension works, a bust, life size, of the late lamented Thomas Crawford, sculptor, whose career as an artist ail lovers of the fine arts agree im extolling, and whose unfortunate death in the meridian of life, and at the zenith of his artistic fame, all unite in regretting. U on this bust Mr. a bas bestowed all the elaboration to which love for bis old tutor and high estimation of his talents could excite gratitude in the human breast ; and the result of bis labors is great, in- deed. The utmost details were carried out with a professional precision and care which has won for the seulptor hi esent fame as a delineator of the human face and form upon the imperisba- ble marble. Tbe remembrance of bis old friend and companion is shown in the life-like expres- sion which he has conveyed to the features of bis subject. Tbe model from which this bust is chiseled is also by the seulptor, who made it from a photograph of the original taken at Mu- nie some years ago, assisted by his own reten- tive memory of the peculiarly intelligent features of his old friend. ‘To-morrow evening Mr. G. leaves for Boston with this beautiful e of art, which is designed for the Howard Atheneum at that place. On his way he designs remaining in New York for a week toexhibit it there ; the pro- ceeds of which exhibition he designs applying towards the expense of makiag another bust from the same moded, to present to the city of New York. Tux Excursions. —It is a blessed thing to the People of Washington that there are so many places of amusement for summer parties within easy access of thecity. These are the Springs and watering places at which those whose means or engagement» do not permit them to seek the mountain top or the sea side—the Saratogasand Old Points of the Can’t-get-away Club. It is in this view that we feel ft a duty to chronicle gladly the thousand and one pleasure trips of the Summer time. The moonlit evenings now just commencing offer attractions which cannot be withstood. Last evening, the President’s Mcunted Guard made Glymont merry all night long, nor ceased their sport ** till daylight did appear.’ ‘The pleasant times which those who bave been in their care on pleasure parties have heretofore en- joyed, was cast far into the shade by the pleas- ures last night. Never bas tbe Coilyer carried down a party expecting more pleasure; never bas she steamed back bringing one better satistied with a night's enjoyment. To-night, the White House will be made joy- fal by merry music + rosin | time to bounding feet.” A pleasant party embark at 7 o'clock on the steamer Thomas Collyer, and after passing the “stilly night’? pleasantly at White House Pavilion, retarn to this elty atan early hour to- morrow ‘To-morrow morning, the Sabbath School at- tached to Wesley Chape! visits the White House. The steamer Thomas Collyer bas been engaged, and many friends will spent adelightful day with the School. The children are already an- hoes their enjoyment, and we trust that their most sanguine wishes may be yratified. A Petition is before the Common Council, signed by John D. Clark, W. Thompson, P. Mc- Kenna, D. Rowland, and J. S. Cull, Eqrs_, police magistrates, for an increase of their salaries. They Hs) sone that the salaries are not ad quate to ‘‘the laborious duties” they perform. Tuey state the expenses as ‘office rent, fuel, lights, expecially during the winter season.” They say also that perhaps it is not known to some of the members of the Councils that while one may istrate receives 2500 for bis services, and another who attends the watch-house the same, which gives him more payable United States cases than all the others put together, six of the eight receive only $350 per annum ‘This they think inadequate for the service they render, the time they attend their office every day, the increase and increasing amount of Cor- poration business they are required to perform— sometimes after suuset, and occasionally in the night called out of bed to act. ‘They ask that their salaries be equalized, as the salaries of the police constables, aud other Corporation o: bave been at various periods. : A FemsLe HichwayrMan.—On Saturday even. ing last, about dark, as two ladies were returning from the Centre Market to tbeir residence on the Istand, they heard screams proceeding from two little girls who bad preceded them, and who turned and tied from a good looking woman, weil-drexsed, who was passing them The two ladies ran instantly to the assistance of the girls, Wo informed them that the well-dressed lady (?} abead bad robbed one of them of her bonnet aud cape. The female was instantly overhauled, and called upon to disgorge. She was indignant, but had to submit, and after considerable pulling and Laoiiog the articles were pulled from nader her arm, whece she bad stowed them away. So indignant was one of the ladies of the searching joe at the audacity of the woman that she uled off and dealt her an Amazonian blow, which was so well calculated as to tumble the robber-ess a la the Motley brothers, into a gutler some feet off. She soon recovered, and made tracks, and the two police-(wo)men went on their way rejoicing. Rospery.—Last night, after the arrival of the 7o’clock train a couple of young men, giving their names as Lee and Wiiliams, aad announc- ing that they were painters looking for work and bad just come in from Baltimore, applied for boa d at the boarding house of Mrs. Purney, No 552 Pennsylvania avenue, and were aceommoda- ted. This morning they made off, haviny stolen a number of articles of clothing, avd ten doliars in gold. One of the rogues is described as being about 5 feet ® inches iu height, and long face. The other is round faced job are suabvurned, and wore caps and dark clothing. Tuisvism Sravants — Housekeepers cannot be too can‘ious bow they receive strangers as ser- vants. On Salurday last, a woman was admitted as aservant into a hoase at the West Ead, and early Monday morning she disappeared: A ten- dollar note on one of the Virginia banks was shortly after discovered to have disappeared at e saine time. As this woman may aitempt the seme apg sewhere, it may be we | to mention that she is a German, short and thick-set, speaks broken English, aud hasanatural mars of scar- let under her righteye, hivh onthe cheek. We hear of other instances of the same kind. This seems to be a regular system. —— is Fine.—The alarm of tire at an early hour this morning, was caused by the burning of acarpen- ter’s shop on Washington street, in the rth ’ pole Soa I Carniaces anp Ca’ Editor of the Sta#?

Wasnincton, August 16, 1858. Caxtax MaRrxet.—The market opened this morning with a very fine display of provisions in every department. The butehers were very active and appeared to be doing well. The vegetable stands were generally occupied and adorned with the delicacies of the season. the choice Produc- tion of the near and distant farmers. quan. tity and quality of the offeri of fruits, vegeta- bles, &c., was decidedly an ovement u the offerings of last week. 1 oy The hay stand was also well supplied. The demand was very brisk and sales quick: Good order was preserved throughout the market house. TuHirves Anovr.—Recent disappearances of various descriptions of property, mysteriously, denote the presence in this vicinity of a squad of thieves of various descriptions, as hotel and pas- sage thieves, horse and cattle thieves. It is the safest tor property owners to pay strict attention to their property, for they bave no security against the operations of robbers at night.
