F., at the regular quarterly communication, held on the 12th inst., the attention of that body having been called to the fact that the Grand Lodge of the United States bad set apart the 26th of April, 1959, to be set apart ax a day of Thanksgiving : Whereas, the Grand Lodge of the United States, at its late session, determined to set apart the 26th day of April, 1859, to be observed by the entire membership under its jurisdiction, as 2 day of Thansgiving to Divine Providence, for the nnexampled prosperity which has attended the Order since its organization on the American Continent; and, whereas, this Grand Lodge is a of the manifold blessings which have n conferred upon our beloved Order by the Great Grand Master of the Universe,to whom we look as the Author of all good, and to whose protecting care and beneficent ———— we ascribe the prosperity of our Order, and the suc- cess which on attended our humble efforts to carry out the great principles of our institution; therefore, Resolved, That this Grand Lodge heartily con- cur in the action of the Grand Lodge of the Uni- ted States, in setting apart the 2ith day of April, 1559. to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving by the entire membership under its jurisdiction.

The coal and wood merchants are laying in increased amounts of stock for winter consuming, and will be able to furnish fuel at prices within the means of all, during the coming cold term. Many of the merchants have already purchased beyond the amount of their last year’s purchases, and do not think of winding up their purchases for two months to come Messrs arvey & Co. have peg I gemacrneie 3,090 tons of coal, more than they bad received at this season last year, and contemplate further operations The following list of arrivals (with the amount of their cargoes) from Philadelpbia.within the past few days, will give an idea of the activity of the coal trade among the dealers about the river wharves just now At Harvey’s wharf—schnrs Wm_Jobn, 195 tone; Polly Price, 260 tons; T. W. Pharo, 230 tons; E. Poaro, 176 tons. At Young & Carter's wharf— schooners C. Anderson, 192 tons; Eliza T. Smith, 215 tons; Thomas Page, 190 tons. At Magruder & Stone's wharf—schooners NE Brown, 295 tons; Giassblower, 153 tons; Lewis , 160 tons. Making a total of 2,101 tons. At Riley’s wharf, the oyster trade flourishes beyond any previous year at this stage of the bi- valve season. The punyas arrive daily, with large quantities of oysters, of superior quality, which readily command from 40 to 75 ceats per busbel. This morning the steamer Diamond State ar- rived at this wharf, from Baltimore, with mer- chandise for various dealers The schooners Wm. Guest and Lavinia Jane, of the Mott Bedell line, are unloading ay es to Washington merchants, at Magruder & Stone’s wharf. Tue Tueatre —It is refreshing to witness among us acomedian of the powers and artistic attainments of Mr. W. Davidge, who made last night bis first bow to a Washington audience, and received from the discriminating and intel- oo many present the heartiest recognition of his superior merit. Paul Pry, and Dr. Griffen- hoof in an admirable farce termed * Shockin: Events,” served as his introductory efforts ; aaa were rerdered with a freshness of humor and jud‘ciousness worthy of the brilliant reputation which be bas won from the most critical audi- ences of England and the Union. We regret ex- ceedingly that bis stay is limited to so brief time as four nights. We sbould think the mao- ager would serve bis own interests and much oblige bis patrons, by prolonging, if possible, the engagement of this excellent comedian. To- night, a rare and admirable drama entitled “* Dominique, the Deserter,”? and the farce of “* Petticoat Government,”’ are on the bills, Mr. Davidge appearing in both pieces. On Monday night the splendid American comedy of ‘“ Ex- tremes”’ is to be produced, with Mr. Davidge in the cast of it. Not Rasicxgp —We are informed by Mr. Thornley that he has not resigned the Warden- ship of the District of Columbia Penitentiary, which we yesterday stated as being the prevail- ing impression around us. Of course he knows whether he has resigned or continnes to hold on with the tenacity indica'ed by Jefferson when he remarked that few (on ’em) die and none resign. Bat though be bas not resigned, the signs around us indicate that the President has made up his mind to Sagi out, with reference to ‘he Warden- sbipof the District of Columbia Penitentiary, the Policy he bas carried out with reference to the other lecal offices in his gift. It ts a fact well known to ali that incumbents are enthusiastic believers in the doctrine of rotation in office when appointed, however indignant against it they may be when having heid office for some time there may be a probability that its bull may ore theirox. We bave never been a believer in tas it has been popularly accepted, neverthelese it is our duty to acquaint the public with the peepee of the times; one of which is, that t will not long bence be carried out in this case of the Wardenship of the District Penitentiary. ‘Tue Conremnep —Charles H Barrett, whose span of life draws so nearly to a close, is visited every day by the clergyman who has, since his sentence, been in attendance upon him. or by the Sisters of Charity and the Sisters ef Merey. Within the past four weeks the Holy Sacrament bas been thrice administered te the young man, who seems resigned to bis Spywecking fote, and passes the largest haif of his time in devotional exercises. From dark each day up to twelve or one o’clock in the night, the watchmen, in Passing bis cell, dis- cover him on bis knees in dee each morning he rece and at in/ervals is engay ng proper re_ Igious books. ‘The jailor informs us that be atiil pevaists in bis denial of any further participation n the Billing of Lewis than the throwing of a stone; that be had discharged all the shots from bi istol in frout of a restaurant on Pennsyiva- renue before starting to go on Capitel Hill night of the stooting. This is said with great earnestness of manner. Cavout.—Yesterday, Ofticers Daw, Serrin and Edwards, of the First Ward, made qitite a haul of stolen goods from a house on Seventeenth st., between Hand I streets. Suspicion having at- tached toa young man named Robbins, who was pretty well Known to the ofticers, he was watched and tracked to Georgetown, where he was de- tected in vending wheat sacks toa dealer in meal, named Lee, one of which was identified by ite owner The officers then proceeded to Robbins's residence, where they seized upon a large quan- tity of property, consisting of new wearing ap- Lao silks, thread, carpenters’ tools, sleigh lis, wheat sacks, Kroceries, &e. A portion of these articles having been identified by the own- ers. Justice Drury committed Robbins to jail for further hearing. The articles are on exbibition at Justice Drury’s office,where Persons who bave recently mi: sucharticles can call and examine teem. Lagcexy.—Arthur Duckett was arrested by officer Sbipl-y for stealing a silver watch and a pairef pants from Mr. Burns; the pants were found, but the watch was sold to a canalman. Also, a coat from Edward Me Wahon, which was found at a pawnbroker’s; a number of black- smith’s tools from Jobn Duval. Officer Busber served a warrant on him for the larceny of tools — — haga aan P Gallant. He = en re itted to jall ~ and committed to ja’ Tux Maxxer.—This morning, there was an abundant supply of provisions in alt the depa t- ments of the Centre Market The country deal- ers offered a very superior lot of vegetables, and our city Gealcre exbibvited Great care in prove 2 ing the best they could obtain from distant sources. The butchers’ department was weil supplied The hay market was plentifally su piled, though the demand did not appear to . very active. The prices gre about same as durlog two weeks past, ing card, which appears ! © pa Pers, it will be percelvedthat Max Maretzek has broken faith with Mr. John T. Ford, and will not, therefore, appear in Baltimore or Washington, as announced : Tue ItaLian Orena—To the Public —Attract- ed by business to New York the first week of this month, | was called upon while in Burton's the- atre, and informed that Mr. Max Maretzek de- s to see me; he being in the accordingly introduced to him. The interview led to an Sppciotmces with his brother Albe: who, he (Max) assured me, was fully authori by him to make engagements for the Havana Op- era Troupe. That appointment led to the fol- lowing agreement : “1 sage ree to play the Havana Opera Troupe in t ‘Woltiaay street theatre, Baltimore, the 16th, 18th and 19th of October; also, uring the same week in the Wash. ington re; and will give toMr. J.T. Ford one-third of every evening’s receipts as compen- sation for loan and furnishing of the theatre, twelve musicians as part of the orchestra, and other things mentioned and enumerated in the agreement. Signed J.T Ford. “New York, Oct.2. ALsert Marerzex.”? The other agreement is precise] similar, ex- cept that it enumerates printing, advertising and ushers. With this I returned to Baltimore, an- nounced the approaching opera season, &c ; Most of the advertisements that appeared were written in New York, and sent by mali. Mr. Ruliman, the agent of the Messrs. Maretzek, came on, and I proceeded to, and did expend quite two hun- dred doliars in advertisin; printing, &c , toen- bance the business. On Wedoestey Jast, I re- ceived a dispatch from Albert Maretzek, inguir- ing the receipts 4 todate. I replied, 3600; that after the political excitement was over it would be much increased. Early yesterday morning | received the following dispatch: “‘Cannot come. Gassier is sick. Signed, Al- bert Maretzek.”” My then, eee es their agent went direct! to New York, and I have teleyraphed over sek! over again, | have received no communication whatever from them up to6 o’clock this evening. Sach are the facts, which I offer to my many kind friends and patrons who have been disap- pointed by the advertisements. 1 deem it due to myself to say that I have no confidence in the statement of Mad me Gassier’s illness. It, unfortunately for the operatic profes- sion, is probably trick so often resorted to as an excuse for the violation of plighted faith, that now such statements are rarely credited. Some other, possibly more advantageous, arrangement has been effected, and the people of Baltimore insulted and outraged, and Iam compelled to endure a loss, directly and indirectly, to the amount of a thousand dollars, as [ was induced reatly to change my arrangements, and am now forced to prepare at a few hours’ notice, other at- tractions for my patrons. Those who hold tickets will please Present them for redemption at Willig’s Music Store, either on Saturday or Monday, between 12 and i o'clock. Very respectfully, Jous T. Forp. Holliday St. Theatre, Friday, Oct. 15, 1455... P. S.—At7 o'clock last evening the following dispatch come to hand : “Five of the principal artists aresice Im- Possible for Max. to come, or any of the company. “F. Routisxan.”? The New York Herald, of Thursda » an- nounces ‘‘an engagement between Mr. Uilman and Mr. Maretzek for some of the principal ar- tists of the latter.’ ——— AccIvENT at THE New Gas Wonxs.—About three o’clock yesterday afternoon, a number of men who were engaged in roofing the purifying house at the new gas works at the Western wharves in the First Ward, were seriously in- jured by the breaking of a scaffold on which they were standing. The pe oh joist, which sup- Ported the cross beam of the scaffold gave way at the base, and in settling down through the floor- ing caused the cross beam to break, and a con- siderable portion ot the scaffolding to fall, with six men who were standin: upon it at the time. The men were precipitated a distance of tweuty- two feet, upon the iron cross bars and edges of the large purifying pan below. Their names are William Williams, David Mathews, John Hogan, Jesse Davidson, Alex. Nicholson, and Daniel Coffey. The latter three are but sli htt injured, and are walking about to-day. Avil, liams received a cut in his left leg nef prett severe contusion in the groin. Mathews bad, beside some slight bruises, one rib breken, Ina very short space of time, after the accident, Drs Snyder and Cosby, of Ge rgetown, were in at- tendance and proceeded to dress the wounds of the sufferers. Every attention was paid them by those in charge of the works, and also by their friends. Hogan was removed from his boarding house to the house of a relative where is receiv. ing the best of attention, and is much better to- day. It is thought that’ all of the injured men, except the two with broken ribs. will be able to resume work by Monday next. They are all cit izens of Philadelphia A Bavtirut Paxsent.—The ladies, friends of the President Mounted Guards, intend present- ing that company with a magnificent American flag, at the residence of Quartermaster Towers, on Tuesday, Oct.19. The flag was made to or- der by Gibbs & Co , Baltimore, and is a beaati- ful specimen of our national emblem. The fair donors may rest assured that the flag, while in the hands of the gallant Guards, will never be trailed in the dust; but will be found victoriously poe, berever the foe may attempt to invade oursoil. The fliy will be presented to the com- pany by Miss E. G. Towers, and the occasion will be a very interesting one to all concerned. Runawars —Quite an excitement was raised in the vicinity of the Centre Market, this morn- ing, by the running away of a pair of horses at- tached to a soap wagon. The ra‘tling of the wagon over the pavement frightened a pair of horses aitached to a carriage on the Avenue, near the National Hotel, who gore up the street, aud Tun against another team, which in its turn «! da off as a all the brute creation were engaged in a race. ‘he affair wound up by the smashing of one of the carriages, and the rapid exit of the animals attached to it. They were afterwards recovered. AcciDENT axD Suppen DeatH aT AN AtcTion Sare.—Yesterday, at an auction sale by Mr. Mc- Guire & Co., at Rock Spring Farm, about a mile above Georgetown, Peter Vannessen was severely hurt by the ranning away of his hose. Dr. Boyle, of this city rendered prompt assistance to the sufferer. Shortly after this accident, Miss. Thomas, of Georgetown, was siezed with an apopiectic fit, which resulted tn death. after about three hours suffering. Drs. Boyle, Cragin and Tyler were present, but could not render effective service. Dvsant, knowing our propensity for the good things of this life, sent us yesterday a dozen “Linhaven Bays,’ evidently from the famous lanting grounds of Garrison, who bas gained as bigt 4 reputation of a breeder and trainer of fine oysters as, twenty years ago, he enjoyed as a breeder and trainer of finehorses. Go whereone will on the sea coast, Garrison’s Linhaven Bay oysters are Lid ieslanss 4 most prized, as twenty years ago Garrison's horses when in a race were sure to be the favorites of the multitude, becanse of his superior management of them. AvstTRaLia.—Boneau’s Panorama of Australia and the Celestial Empire, will open at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall on next Tuesday night, where {t will be exhibited daily and nightly unt 1 farther no- tice Thix panorama ix said to be one of the most interesting now before the public, and the accompanying lecture to be a miue of informn- tion about the scenes which it describes. ‘Tue Market Reovtations.—This morning, Officer King arrested George Horstman for fore- stalling the market.

A discussion upon the question—“ Does civ: tion tend to promote the happiness of man,’ was commenced Thursday night, and will be continued on next Thursday evening. Several of the best debaters in the association are classed upon it, and quite a literary treat may be antici- pated by the members and others who may be resent.

She had coe out in the conte part of the day to attend a public sale at the residence of M Valker on the northern outskirts of the town, and while there was stricken down by an apoplectic fit. from which she died in afew minutes. Her re- mains were taken to her late home on High st. — the residence of her sister, Miss Mary Thomas The late rains tended considerably, we learn, to increase the water in the upper Portions of the canal, and a considerable number of boats have been enabled to getdown. During the week, 82 in all have arrived—43 of them from Cumberiand, bringing about 4,000 tons of coal; 3 with flour; and the remainder from other points with wood, limestone, bark, grain, &c. The receipts for tolls at the Georgetown Collector’s office for the same period, ha mounted to $2,235, as follows: Ascending trade, $243; Descending, $1.995. During the week there has been shipped from Ray’s dock 1,727 tons of coal, as follows : Schrs Emeline, Chester, Brower, '80 tons for Norwich; Robert Gilfillian, Smith, 280 tons for Jersey City; Franklin F.

The offering of sheep was also large, and quality, as a general thing, very jogh $5 inferior, and selling at $2a$3 per head. per 100 lbs , good quality. The flour market continues very dull. We hear of no sales of moment. Good canal super- fine brands are held nominally at £5 50; pur- chasers refuse, however, to operate at over $5 37, and we do not think that even this price could be bad for any quantity. There jis but little wheat coming in. ur millers continue to make most of their purchases in Baltimore.
