An Is¥ants’ Hospitar.—A hospital for the re- ception of infants who may be too young to be taken into the orphan asylums is about to be es- tablished in this city Its location will be at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Thirteenth st. Tt will be under the supervision ef the Sisters of Mercy. There will also be provision made at the same place for the reception and care of indigent women who may come here as strangers, and are ont of employment, and in destitute circum- stances. Such an establishment as this has lon: been needed, and should receive the warm an liberal support of the benevolent and kind-Leart- ed, as another avenue for lending aid to those who are needy. Many come here from distant cities or from the Eastern continent, whose feel- ings revolt, no matier how indigent they may be in circumstances, at making application to be sent to the asylum or workhouse, because they have no visible means of support. By means of this hospital, opportunity wilt be afforded to such to obtain respectable employment The orpban or foundling infants for w] reception the build- ing is mainly intended, have heretofore frequently been put into the care of those who have little or no sympathy forsuch unfortunates, and only cared for them because they were paid to do so, and the little ones were, in consequence, sadly neglected. This feature of the Inetltution’ should alone be —— recommendation for its liberal endow- ment. Pottck Cases—Before Justice Donn.—Charles Werner was charged with violating the munici- pal law by selling liquor on Sunday; fine and costs $26 66. Michael Fitz and Wm McElegut, hackmen, had a disturbance at the stand, which they determined to settle, and proceeded to a wood yard near by for that pur, ; officers Belt and Scarf were too soon for them and arrested Fitz as soon as be got bis coat off, and Mr McBlegut left. but was afterward arrested; they were Bned $295 each Ofticer Bietzel arrested John T Bradley and 8. Skidmore for running a wagon witbout a license; they, being licensed hucksters, thought the wagon used fn thelr busi- ness included in the buckster’s license. Justice Donn informed them otherwise, and they imme- diately took out the license. and the case was dis- missed upon paymeyt of 54 cents costs Brace Dent and Noah Jones were in the same fix, and were sim st possessed; they were arrested by officer Gill bomas Burk and William Bearne, who were under security for a hearing in a case of stoning a house and resisting officers. came up for trial, and were both beld to bail for appear- auce at the Criminal Court Fine. —Last night, between 10 and 1 o'clock, fire was discovered in an unoccupied two-story frame house on Sixth street, near Island Hall, belonging to Mr. Miller, confectioner It was soon consumed.

A few weeks since, two little orphan boys were arrested by a police otticer, taken before a mavis trate, and fined tor torowing stones ata flock of geese in the street. Had the ctticer enforced the law referred to above, the boys could not bave been fined for throwing stones at the geese. The police are justly charged with causing one viola- tion of the law by not enforcing the other. A Taxpayer Tue Law Revatixe to New Buinpines, &c Yesterday. Messrs S. Devangtn, C. Lyons’ and Langley appeared before Justice Donn to an- swer to a charge of violating a city ordinance, by placing bricks on the street immediately in front of the lots of other persons. The warrants were issued upon the complaint of a person not the owner of the lots. Justice Donn reviewed the Ith section of the act, approved 1556, establishing a Board of Health. decided that the law dors not apply in these cases, and the cases were dis- charged. It would be well for builders to make themselves acquainted with the language of the law; it will be found in the pamphlet last pub- lished by the Corporation Canat Wwarrace —Mr. Edvtor: By the act of Congress *‘ veating in the Corporation of the city of Washington ali the rights of the Washington Canal Company, and for other purposes.” there is @ provision weil worthy the attention of those who pay wharfage to the Corporation.

The capture of those villains would be regarded as a valuable achievement. Center Marxet.—The beavy rain last night and this morning tended to diminish the attend- we of dealers and purchasers at the principal market The attendance, however, was larger than could reasonably be expected; the pac ample and excellent; the prices about as quo in the Star of Saturday; and business fair consid- ering the circut of weather, mud and water against it. ‘THR AccipENT IN THE CuksaPeake —Captain Jerome, of the steamer James Jerome, which collided with a schooner in Chesapeake Bay, op Sunday morning, reontves 5 ceunee Leah afternoon from t! ent of the line in hiladet. phia, stating the schooner run over was 3 sunken schooner off Sassafras, and not a moving vessel, as was at first supposed.
