De. Samvon being absent, from Indisposition, Rev. Dr. Butler, of ‘Trinity Chureh, occupied the leeturer’s chair, and in a famil-ar and plain discourse interested the class on the sub- Ject of natural religion. Afier the lecture, the Doctor inquired if any wished a further explana- “on of any matier to which he had referred? Ail appeared to be satisfied, but a young man who had at several Meetings propounded ques- tions foretyn to the subject, rose and asked the following: “How can an’ immutable God be aifected by prayer?’ So we understood him, but poses we are wrong; for when asked by the lecturer to oe his question, he appeared to understand himself as iittle as any one around; but, he was answered, and he seeined satisfied until be was asked if he had any other ques- tion’ He rose again upon a quibble about the Christian ‘immutable God,”’ choosing, to in- sist upon defining it for the Christians rather than to take their definition. This course of procedure begaa to disgust the com any—a por- tion, because of the ignorance displayed by the youug man, and others because he was by bis “vain disputation’? casting obstacles in the way of those who went there to be scholars, not teachers or controveryialists—and, ina mild way, @ protest was entered by a friend of the class. SmiTucontan Lectuaks —The first lecture of & course on Chemistry by Prof. J. P. Cook, of Harvard Un Y, Was delivered at the Sm'th- sonian, last evening. The branch of the subject treated of was ospheric air, oxygen, combus- tion, &c ure was illustrated by numer- instructive experiments. Prof. he ficulty of making even xo dry a sabjret as the details of chemistry extremely in- teresting, aud this introductory eff rt promisesa course that our citizens should not fail to attend. ‘The neat lecture is announced for to-morrow evening, and the subject is ozone, respiration,dc. Prof. Henry anuounced that after this week, on the occasion of ture, a colored ligt would be placed on tbe top ef the main tower of the building, so as to be visible fiom all parts of the : He also intimated that there would Prob- not be acy postpenements on account of the ef, during this course, as so much time bad already been lost in that way. He said that the matter of a light on the tower had been sug- kested in one of tue city papers, but that it bad previously occurred to the management, and the season it had net been before adopted was the ditticutty of getting the gas pipes extended to the requisite height. ——— Counr or Craims.--J) dge Scarburgh deliv- ered the opinion of the Court, refusing applica- tion for a new hearing in the case of Gibbous and Keliy vs. The United States.

Adjourned. Tas Axvincton Cress cotilloa party came eff las evening at Harmony Hall, where a bappy company, indeed, enjoyed themselves, as the young men and ladies of our city who take pa in Club balls have within the last three or four years come to enjoy themselves in the gayety- inspiring society of each other. A notabie fea- ture of the affsir was the number of really beauti- ful gicls upon the floor, and another the assiduity and true politeness with which their beaux waited upon them. It was almost daylight ere the hall was dyserted. Cincort Court —Yesterday evening, the jury ia the case of Dow Dem Rebecca J. Washiagton et al.,agt. George F. Clark sur.

Among them we Tecognised many whose exqulsite appreciation of thelr respective roles kepi the company (out of cosinme) in a roar of laughter on this occas! n, as when performing other such parts a year ago. We regret that the crowded state of the Star's columns forbids us to elaborate a description of this so characteristic entertainment, which to be appreciated must necessarily have been enjoyed in person. Warcn Returxs.—Catharine O'Driscoll was arrested for a violent assault and battery on her husband, Timothy O'Driscoll, using a weapon more efficacious than the ‘unruly member,” the usual offensive weapon of scolding Wives, in the shape of a poker. She was caged for the night, and sent to jail for Court. John McCarty was drunk and disorderly, sent to the workhouse for 90 days. Sarah Brown and Mar Gray, two cullud gals, got to fighting ina 1, disturbing the company. They were made to pay $315 each. ©.

It had been repared in antic- ipation by Mr. ©. 8. Jones, joor-keeper of the enate, and it was hb simultaneously with the announcement of the signing of the Oregon bill by the President. One oF the most promising entertainments set down for this evening is the concert of the Wes- ley Chapel choir at their church, on the corner of Fifth and F streets. This concert is not only attractive on account of the good music that may he expected, but by reason of the beauty and in- telligence that constitute a aime portion of the choir and congregation.
