Lectvre.—Prof. Barnard delivered his third lecture on light at the Smithsonian last night to a large audience subject as before announced was Chromatics, or the illustration of the analy- zations of light. After a brief recapitulation of the principles set forth at the previous lecture, anda few (ag! remarks relative to the ex riments of the evening, the lights were extin- guished, and by means of a strong light thrown u a screen, the most beautiful tints were dis- played, each sensing and assuming new forms of the crystals throug which, the rays of ligt of the c rough which the rays of lig were Sake ter “Phe analyzation revealed the most vivid ti and colors contained ina single ray, and exhibited in a surprising manner the wonderful phenomena of many colored tints and shades constantly changing and assuming new forms as the analyzer or the crystal wes turned The audience mantfested their appreciation of the beautiful in repeated rounds of applause; and as each picture flashed out In dazzling brightness upon the screen, the Professor was compelled to forego his explanations until the applause had subsided. The evening was almost entirely oc- cupied with experiments of this character, and the commotion among the spectators rendered it dificult to make any very lengthy explanations. The next lecture will be upon double refraction, and will be illustrated with many interesting ex- periments, as usual in worth kin’s As Yesterpar had been fixed upon by the w ington Monument Association for hoistin; the U.S. flag upon the top of the Monument, an as the flag was not hoisted according to pro- gramme, some explanation of the reason why would not be amiss. {t seems that the watchman at the Monument (Mr. Morgan) made all the pre- liminary arrangements, procured a suitable pole, balyards, &c., and then ascertained that the only competent rigger in town is employed on the U S frigate Pensacola, at the Navy Yard, and that it Is very uncertain when he can be spsred for the purpose of performing the office. The Society, however, are determined upon baving the stars and stripes floating upon the topof the Monument at the earliest moment, and in the interim have instructed the watchman to have it hoisted over the Lapidareum. The flag is loaned to the Society by Commandant Buchanan, of the Navy Yard. AcciDENT at THE CaPiroL.—This morning, as the bands employed at the Capitol were hoisting the heavy frame work of a derrick to the dome, the apparatus gave way from some cause, and the ponderous pieces fell to the portico of the east front, breaking off large pieces of the iron cornice of the dome, and also breaking the stone portico steps with which they came in contact. A work man employed there was severely injured by thi accident. A painter named Richardson was dangerously if not fatally injured He is n of family, which is left in a destitute condition by the accident. was the large derrick on the top, and the accident resulted from the breaking loose of the outrigging which sustains it. The parts separated before they came to the statues on the front, and upon each side, doing them no Se. It is estimated that it will require a month’s labor to restore the work to its condition before the accident The room gave indications of breaking yesterday, we hear. Strager Licnts acu nickt.—Last night, in the Board of Aldermen, Mr Dunnington introduced a bill providing that the city lamps now lighted by the Corporation be kept lighted every night of the year, from dark till daylight The method now is to have the lamps extinguished at twelve o’clock at night. Mr. D. stated that the estimated extra expense would be inconsiderable. compared with the advantage to be derived from well- lighted streets throughout the entire night. He had been urging the same action with reference to the lamps now lighted at thé @xpense of the Government, for some years . On motion by Mr. Moore, the bill was laid over till next Mon- day night. ‘THE NEW ENROLLMENT is ing with as eat speed as is practicable. jor General Peter Reve bas been assigned the charge of the first division of the militia, and Major General George C.

They can thus be found at least once in every hour when wanted, and may find them- selves in the way of the incendiary and burglar oftener than otherwise. At any rate, it will satisfy the public that the watchman is about, as he can- not }, deceive, or his round without immediate detection. This was the mode in olden times, and was only abolished because it was sup- de} tors could track the officer and commit their crimes at one point while he was at another. But the change does not work well now. The silence of the officer rather enables him now to hide his dereliction of duty from the public, than catch the criminal. What a relief it would be to every householder to hear at the corner oe ‘well- o’ciock, and a bright r-light m-o-r-n- And then, teo, furnish the watchman with that = ——— ‘“‘rattle’’—that cies ca Yento which, when sprung, put ev icer an householder within bear ing on the alert ‘and on — and them all watchmen for the occa- jon. Now do, Mr. Mayor, eejeens Seed the cry- ing of the hour and the alarm ‘ je,’ and my word for it, incendiary fires and burglaries will greatly diminish in numbers, if they are not en- rely prevented. A word about the day police. They are of little service as at it organized, and, consid- ering the cost of keeping t! up, are rather a nuisance. But, allow me to suggest a plan to make them useful while we have them on hand. It is well known that a system has been inaugu- rated, at a great expense to the city, called “trim- a and gravelling the streets.” This consists of elevating them, 6, 8, or 10 inches, with red or yellow clay, choking the citizens with dust in dry weather, and rendering the crossings impassable in wet weather. At present the crossings in many places are ankle deep in mud—even Pennsylvania avenueand other paved streets are inundated from this system of ‘trimming and gravelling.” Now I propose that the Say pellce sae a part of their duty entitling them to the $600 per year, shall be required to roll up their pants and ‘wade in’ with shovels, buckets and brooms,” and keep the oT open and free. This will not be as he as wading into liquors and oysters, but it will be of infinite service to the public. No doubt many of the officers would rebel and ‘‘se- cede” under such a rule; but they could well be spared from ‘coercion,’ better men would take their places, and be grateful for the chance. Do, Mr Mayor, jugurate something practical and useful, like this, and relieve us the use- less but costly pageantry of glazed caps, gilt but- tons, grey uniforms, and lazaroni. Common Sanse. Center Manxet.—The market opened this morning with an abundant supply of provisions in every department.

SCHLOSSER, Author of several Works on Dissss of the Feet, NEGLECT OF THE FEET. DANGER OF CUTTING CORNS. Corns are too commonly regarded as mere orescenses, and that little 1s necessary but to sorase Or cut off the external surface; whereas, the eradication of them, and that ina manner not to injare the flesh, is an operation of crest care and delicacy, that can only without danger be performed by one who has made tirat branch of surgery the special object of attention. The extraction of teeth, and the cure of diseases in them, or in the gums, were, 3 few years ago. con- sidered as legitimately withrn the province of any one who was dubbed 8 surgeon, till experience taught that that branch of the healing art required special application and study. Few, no’ have the means. think of employing any but a reg ular dentist to attend to diseases affecting the So intimate are the relations of all parts of the human frame with each other, that discase in any particular pertion, does distance from what may be called the center of the system, diminish the intimacy of the rela tion; on the contrary, pains or disease of the ex- tremities are perhaps more difficult of alleviation than in more central parts.

I am not fond of giving cases, for Tam zorry to find that every empiric who practices any branch of the medical profession, fancies that the true avenue to employment is to narrate extra ordinary cases, whether true or not, becaure he fancies that people will see something in what they read which may remind them of their own su ing. I would refer to vast numbers of examples, which { have encountered in this city, if I thought it necessary to mention it.
