Patrick McCarthy, indicted for an assault and battery, with intent to kill,on Henry Douglas, ‘was acquitted. Jobn Doe was tried and found gullity of assault and battery on Frederick Holzier. [Thus it will be seen that John Doe, who books and in ejectment suits in the Circuit Court in connection with Richard Roe, is no longer a myth, but has at last been found and convicted ] ‘The Court proceeded to sentence Albert Cont- ner, who was convicted a few days since of man- siaughbter, having killed John Bremline ina brawl in Prather’salley.

Dr. Bocock’s ConGREGATION, IN GEORGE- town —The congregation of the Bridge Street (Old School) Presbyterian Church, in George- town, which was last under the ministration of Dr. Bocock, whois now where his sympathies were before he departed—in Secessia—had a , and called the Rev. Dr. Frederick Brown, of Cleveland, Ohio, to fill the vacancy, but no response has yet been received. From all accounts the two ministers are as wide poles apart on the question of their duty in Dr. Bocock could not or would not pray for the President. It had brought out not merely the effeminate sentimentalist, but the rough democrat, who hates abolition but secession more. There is a healthier tone throughout the country in these war bills of mortality are smaller; there are less fevers, jons, and dyspepsias where there is so tricity.

We also take great pleasure in referring to the following card from one of the first teachers of music In this city: Mr. Editor—Sir: Having noticed the several advertisements of Prof. Wolowski of his new method of the piano, I was tempted to call upon him and see if his method was such as was rep- resented. I called upon Prof. Wolowski, and from the interviews that I had with him, I am pleased to be able to state for the advantage of others, that his method has been eminently suc- cessful in my case, as I nave derived great ben- efit from it, and can recommend it as being supe- rior to all others. Inconciusion, I would advise all those who would wish to lay the basis for per- fection in the use of the piano not to los this rare opportunity ’ A TEacnER. The residence of Prof. Alex. Wolowski is No. 303 Sixth street, between K street and New York avenue.

We were accidentally present thie forenton when a committee of members of Representatives called on the Secretary of Wear in bebalf of a large number of the House, to urge upon that officer the propriety of adding the Hon. Alfred Ely to the commission of two—the Hon. Hamilton Fish end Bishop Ames, of Ohio—tecently charged with the duty of going into Secessia to see after the comfort of the Union soldiers now prisoners of war there. The Hon. Schuyler Colfex, their spokesman, urged the propriety of the proposed addition to the commission with force; but Seo- retary Stanton in two minutes satisfied him and those with him of the impropriety ef including upon the commission any gentleman who formes a portion of @ther branch of Government: the ™mission being whoily one of religion and philan- thropy.

To the infinite credit of the Navy Department it should be known, that nota single oneof the vee- sels sent by it upon the Burnside expedition bas failed to answer all that was expected of her draught, seaworthiness and general eficiency— notene. All the trouble and delay from using improper ships, occurred with those in the service of the War Department. The Navy Department having been much making its selections of ships (transports and others to be improvised into men-of-war) of course had the choice of the market, and were thus en- abled to secure better vessels than fell to the iot of the War Department, buying and chartering subsequently. That Department bss, however, been taught @ lesson on this occasion the necessity of greater care in procuring trans- ports, which will be duly improved by the new Secretary, doubtless.
