Af this strange court. where barbarism and civilization. mn ism and christianity. at once sympathize and conflict, this lady passed six most eventful years. Her life May be compared toa pe ype oe now sounding with the wildest music and now with the most grotesque. In articles in the «Atlantic. and in her more re- revt book, she has given the public glimpses of this remarkable experience, and the same forms the subject of a lecture which she has delivered with the highest acceptation in the cities of New England, and will repeat at Lin- cotn Hall on next Friday evening. A story of real life so extraorlinary as hers would be most absorbing if tokt by a person of less cultare or taleut than Mrs. Leonowens. But the press of Beston unite in attributing to her a magnetic power fully in p ion to the intrinsic elo- quence of her subject; and her frienls in the society of Washington, who have induced her to bowor us with her presence, will, we are assared. not be disappointed in the interest which this lecture will inspire both for its sub- eet and its author. wegen Tre Boarp or Heatra met last night, and Dr. Verdi, the health officer, presented, the re- port of Inspector Ludington on the condition of the fish wharf, foot of ith street.

Upon this a repetition of the bebe commenced; about half in the room were talking at once, nothing whatever conid done. a Finally Dr. Bowen took the floor, and nounced the whole proceedings as a star cha: ber inquisition, and warned them that the gov- ernor would heed no request or recommenda- tion they would make under such circumstances. Mr. Beckett made a lengthy and v us speech of the same character; and on motion, the meet. ing dispersed to meet at the call of Charles H.

Crit- tington was disposed to bet, and Long, leaving the card with his companion, went off to get mane f During bis absence Whittington al- lowed Crittington to examine the card. which resulted in the latter's finding a piece of tape between the layers of paper. He alleges that Whittington rhe 2a ‘im to pull it ont, sying “then you'll have him.” Crittington then went up town and borrowed twenty dollars, came back and found the confidence men, and al- leges that he was induced to put his twenty ¢ol- larsinto Whittington’s hands, as stakeholder, and that no sooner he done so than Long snatehed the bill and ran off.

Music AMONG THE CoLoreD PropLe—The id advance of the col people in musical ure is one of the most remarkable incidents of their progress since the emancipation, and in the District of Columbia there are in addition to the colored opera troupe many organized bands of vocalists and formers on various instruments, whose singing and playing would «lo credit to organizations which have had mueh better opportunities for study and practice. A band male singers, organized here a few months since, with the alliterative title of the “Golden Grove Glee Club,” contains some five voiecs, and will doubtless be heard from here- atter. Itisled by Mr. Michael Lee, and is in- structed by Mr. Samuel RB. Collins, natural musician.” Their chorusses show excellent training. Beside these there is a fine colored band and several other musical organizations among the colored people as Fossnar ora Barber The uneral of the late Father Kroes, S.
