Pardon us, good, kind, gentle reader! This
is the first apology wo have ever had to make
to you. We are to-day " put into circumscrip
tion and confine." The cause you perceive and
will not regret; we know you will not. There
is between you and us already a bond of good
feeling. We feel sure of this; it is palpable
to us. We have a kind of certain consciousness
that you woald eacusc oven a little culpable
negligence ? iar us; that you will put up with
our abridgement for a single day, when you
perceive the cauBe is tha,bringing grist to our
mill, we are morally certain. On any like oc
casion hereafter we shall a double-sheet;
but just bow we are not quite ready for this.
A compliment has been paid our unassuming
city journal ; but that compliment has been in
tended for you. Political or partisan journals
usually monopolize these favors, and often have
no other sustenance; but you, the people of
Washington, have adopted us, and one who
loves you well has ohosen to indicate his respect
for you by this kind approval of your choice.
Receive our apology, and expect us to make
amends hereafter for the present curtailment
of our fair proportions.
St. Joseph's Female Academy, 9th and F
streets.?An attempt was made to rob this es
tablishment at about ten o'clock laBt night;
but the robber, finding from the movements in |
the house that his presence had been discov
ered, fled in haste, leaving his shoes upon the
brick pavement of the yard, where he had no
doubt left them on entering the premises. Cap
tain Goddard was soon in pursuit, and it is
hoped will suoceed in making him captive. His
shoes were warm from his feet when found;
they are a good pair, and, like Cinderella's
glass slipper, may identify him. We feel par
ticularly anxious that the miscreant should be
caught, because of his baseness in attacking the
dwelling of a few timid and defenceless ladies.
In the penitentiary, even, his fellow-prisoners
will regard him with disdain and contempt for
t.hU mean and oowardly act.
The President ok the United States left
the seat of government this morning in the
steamer Osceola for Piney Point, Fortress
Monroe, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Jamestown, &c.
We understand that it was his intention to de
part next Monday; but finding that the only
steamer which plies between Washington and
Norfolk would not, after to-day, leave again
before Wednesday, he has anticipated that time.
It is thought he will be absent only six or seven
days. The Seceetaby of the Intebiob, with
his lady, the lady of the Postmaster General,
Mrs. Hall, and the Hungarian and Polish he
roine. Miss Apolonia Jaorllo, accompany him.
The lady and daughter of the President are
now in Buffalo, but are expected to meet the
President next week, on his return to this city.
Cbimisal Couet.?Mary Lee, the colored
woman of whom we yesterday spoke as being
on her trial for petty larceny, was finally found
guilty, and recommended to the mercy of the
court, by whom she was forthwith sentenced to
six hours' imprisonment, and one dollar fine.
After a laborious trial and able arguments by
counsel of both sides, (Fendall and Ratcliffe,)
her case was given to the court at 11 o'clock
yesterday, and the verdict was not rendered
until 12 o'clock to-day.
The larceny charged was of the following ar
ticles : Silver money, $ 4 50; copper ditto,
7 cents; a purse, worth 0 cents?total, $4 63 !
Adams, a free negro, was yesterday convicted
of stealing Wm. Sollers' robe, worth $6.
John Meyer, alias Jacob Mayor, previously
convicted of a land-warrant forgery, was yes
terday put on his trial for another offence of
like charactor, and this morning found not
guilty.
Yesterday, James W. Hamilton was found not
guilty of participating in a riot, as charged;
defended by Ratcliffe.
John Rollins and Robert Slackford were
pronounced not guilty of a like offence ; Morgan
for the defence.
Wm Baker, Wm. Hines, and John Johnson,
accused of tho same offence, have been tried,
but the jury had not returned with a verdict
when our reporter left the court-room at one
p. m. Morgan for the defence.
Richard H. Adamson was about to be ar
raigned. Ratcliffe and Morgan are his counsel.
Locdoux County, Va.?We gather the fol
lowing items from the Leesburg Chronicle of
yesterday:
In the town of Leesburg there arc two hun
dred and eighty houses and lots, the annual
rental of which is $18,246; this is an increase
of $1,000 over the assessment of last year.
There are four hundred and twenty-three tithe
ables the present year. The tax on rents is
per cent., and that on each titheable is sixty
cents. This is a reduction of 1J per cent, on
rents, and fifteen cents on each tithe from the
tax of last year. The finances of the corpora
tion are in good condition.
A new Division of the Sons of Temperance
has been opened at Bloomfield.
A new bridge, at a cost of $2,000, is to span
Goose.Creek ?t "Davis's mills." The county
goes $800. t
The tax to raise the oounty and parish levy this
year is $1.68 per titheable. Last year it was
?2.22.
The waving grain is now becoming golden in
the sun, and will soon begin to fall before the
rinsing cradle. In some places, in Loudoun,
the farmers have commenced harvesting the
Mediterranean wheat. The yield will be abund
ant and the quality of the grain excellent, if no
untoward accident should happen to blight the ,
present prospect. We have been shown a fine ,
nnecimen of the blue-stem wheat, raised on the
Srm or Col. John M. Minor, b, th. dr,
process. The heads are large and well filled.
Quit* a number of hands have arrived from
Fairfax and the adjaocnt region to assist our
farmers in their labors.
Happy Fellow.?A lady has sent the Phila
delphia man a bouquet, whereat he is in
raptures. Unusual with him. Transports ot
that kind are daily occurrences with us. Col.
Wallace has to brag of his beauty and attrac
tions; the world seeks us out in our modest
retirement, and the smiles of the fair are volun
tary tributes. There is the difference!
There is to be a splendid Fair at Apollo Hall,
i commencing on Tuesday next. It will be a place
of attraction?we shall be there ourselves.
The Enlarukaiknt or tuk CapitoI,.?The
public are aware that the memorial to the
President, published by us a few daya since?
requesting that the additions to the Capitol
may not be made by means of the contract sys
tem, but by workmen employed directly by the
Government?has been signed by a vast num
ber of our fellow-citizena in all pursuits. The
President was yesterday waited upon by Col.
W. W. Seaton and John T. Towns, eaq., who
presented this memorial, and explained clearly
and fully the objects set forth in it.
The President replied, expressing his earn
est desire to have the workmanship executed in
the most thorough and substantial manner pos
sible. He said that he had already requested
the architect, Mr. Waltkb, to prepare a written
report Of the manner in which the whole of the
business should be managed, and at once en
dorsed and forwarded to that gentleman for his
consideration the memorial of the citizens of
Washington.
We take pleasure in stating that, from intima
tions wprthy qerious consideration, we are well
convinced that the suggestions of this memorial
are in consonanoe with the views of both the
President and the architect; and we congratulate
the workmen and the public uppn the restora
tion of a plan so just and wise as this has ever
proved.
Addition to tiie Capitol?the Laying of
the Corner-stone.?The following authorita
tive announcement appears in the National In
telligencer of this morning:
"We understand that the corner-stone of the
addition to the Capitol, authorized by the late
act of Congress, will be laid by the President
of the United States on the 4th of July next,
in the presence of such officers of the Govern
ment as may then be in the city, and of all citi
zens who may see fit to assemble to witness the
ceremony; and that an Address on that occasion
will be delivered by the Secretary of State."
Sale of City Property.?Lot No. 0, square
250, on H street north, between 13th and 14th,
44 feet and a fraction front, and 144 deep, was
purchased yesterday by Mr. James Daley, at
10 j cents a foot.
Lots 28 and 24, square 448, on Seventeenth
street west, between N and M, each 24 front
by 105 deep, were purchased by Wm. Marshall
at 11^ cents a foot.
Dyer & McGuire were the auctioneers.
Navy Yard.?There was a largo sale of old
and damaged fire-arms belonging to the Gov
ernment at the marine barracks, at 12 o'clock
yesterday. The prices, considering the average
quality of the articles, were low. 1,000 muskets
averaged 45 cents cach ; cartridge boxes, $2.25
per hundred; bayonets, 85 cents; stocks, $2.75
per hundred ; tents, $1.50 each ; brass per 100
pounds, $11.75; swords, 45 cents each. The
gardens were crowded with citizens of Washing
ton and northern men. Speculators were intent
on getting bargains. J. C. Green, for A. Green,
auctioneer.
A Warm Friend.?A good-looking little man,
with roBy cheeks and a radiation of cunning
wrinkles about his eyes, stopped us this morn
ing, and, seizing our hands in his, remarked:
"I don't know whether you are Connolly,
Wimer or McGill; but this I do know, you have
a jolly newspaper, and I'm going to insist on
it that it shall be taken and read in my little
hundred by everybody and his wife! So there
now!" And the little gentleman gathered up
his market-basket and butter-kettle again, and
away he toddled, while we smiled our thanks,
but pondered seriously on the warmth of his
generous feelings and the strength of his grip !
Music at the President's Gardens.?This
is the afternoon, and the scene is inviting. We
think these promenading occasions are the most
delightful we ever exoerience in this city. Let
all go who can onjoy the music and the scene,
and observe the strictest decorum and propriety.
Congressional Nomination at New Or
leans.?The Republic of this morning says:
" Wo observe allusions in many of our exchange
' papers, North and South, to the fact that a
'committee of Whigs have tendered a congres
' sional nomination in the New Orleans district
? of Louisiana to our late associate, Mr. Alexan
? der C. Bullitt." ' : ; '
Funny.?The Providence (R. I.) Mirror in
forms us that the State treasury is cumbered
with about $5,000 more than can be accounted
for by the books. All the late treasurer can
say is, that it is there, but he does not know
where it belongs. The auditing committee
have entirely failed to discover any record of
the surplus funds. How easy it would be to
make them columns balance, and without any
help from auditing committees. The Yankees
arc becoming verdant. Take a treasurer from
" Ycrk State," or along there, and you will
have no more trouble of that sort!
The Grand Jurt yesterday found a present
ment of " wilful murder" against Jehn Day for
shooting his wife on the 12th ult. His trial, we
understand, will take place early in July.
'A Fact as Palpablic as an Egyptian Pyra
mid.?Sagacious, enterprising business men are
two well aware of all the aids to be employed
for their suocess, to neglect the chief, which is
advertiting. And no purchasers are so blind as
not to see that those men who are most enter
prising are continually and systematically ad
vertising, and are the best men to deal with.
[Phil. Sun.
Newspaper Keoistrr.?The first number of
a qunrterly publication under this title, by Mr.
C. Pierce, a general advertising newspaper
agent of Philadelphia, ia received, and contains
the names of all the papers published in the
United States, with their location. It will be
found valuable to business men.
New Counterfeits at Citmbf.rland, Md.?
The Civilian says that a new counterfeit has
within the past week made its appearance. It
is on the Cumberland Savings' Bank, denomi
nation five dollars, letter A, dated October 1st,
1850, and no other date that we have heard of.
The signatures of the president, J. R. Annan,
and cashier, R. Bruce, are tolerably well exe
cuted, but can only deceive the unwary. The
paper is of inferior quality, and the engraving
is of that muddy character that generally dis
tinguishes counterfeits. The noto is nearly an
eighth of an inch longer, and somewhat wider
than the genuine. We do not know whether it
will hold good in all cases, but in those we have
seen there is this difference between the genuine
and the counterfeit. In the genuine there is a
jewel distinctly seen in the ear of the Indian
woman at the top of the note; in the counter
feit this is not visible. It is supposed that
these notes were manufactured in Allegany
county.

that the coal schooner's upper works about liei
bow were stove in; he could not learn her name.
The Board of Aldermen was not in session

The Broken Leo.?The foreign news, some
weeks ago, informed us that Queen Cristina of
Spain had met with this serious mishap. The
New York Sun recurs to it and says: " The Queen
was at Arranguez, near Madrid, the country
seat of the Spanish Court, when, on the after
noon of May 6th, in the act of alighting from
her carriage, she fell to the ground and broke
her leg. The accident caused great consterna
tion among her attendants and the people gen
erally, and all the Spanish papers have teemed
with dolorous accounts of the royal accident.
The Queen Mother is rapidly recovering, and
showers of congratulatory letters arc being sent
to her and Queen Isabel, from the nobility and
eminent persons. It seems strange that such a
personage as a queen could have met with such
an accident, for it is generally believed that
royalty is always handed to and from carriages
I by attendants. The occurrence may serve as a
warning to some of our American queens,^to be
careful how they step from their coaches.
They will take car?, Mr. Sun. Cristina had
a long skirt to her dress, and it caused her to
fall. Our queens will wear a more appropriate
style of dress and avoid such dangers?our real
ciueens will. The imitators of the unfortunate
" fat old lady" will perhaps continue to wear
j long dresses for a while.
Supposeo to have been Stolen. The Bal
timore American of this morning says, that
several articles of jewelry have been deposited

j They were taken from boys who were offering
them for sale, and who are supposed to have
j stolen them.
I Cholera.?On the steamer James M. Niles
that arrived at St. Louis on the 9th inst., from
New Orleans, seventeen deaths occurred from
cholera and ship fever. The boat had upwards
of 250 emigrant passengers that were taken
I from a ship at New Orleans. The deaths, with
| but one exception, all occurred on deck among
1 the emigrants. _
St. Louis.?The fire on the 12th instant, here
tofore noted under the telegraph head, destroyed
property to the value of $160,000. Among the
property burnt was the steamer Sultana, which,
with her cargo, was valued at $75,000.

be gilded without injuring tho brilliancy of ti.e

THE LAMB 18 THE LIGHT THEREOF.
*kv. *xi, 23.
BY THE RJEV. Ji. lioNAR.
That Clime is not like thia dull clime of ours
All, All is brightness there ;
A sweeter inHueuoe brent hen around 1U (lowers
And a tar milder air.
No calm below is like that calm above,
No region here is like that realm of love;
Earth's softest spring ne'er shed so aoft a light,
Earth's brightest summer never shone so bright.
That sky is not like thia sad sky of ours,
Tinged with earth's chunge and care;
No shadow dims it, and no rain-cloud lowers,
No broken sunshine there.
One everlasting stretch of azure pours
Its stainless splendor o'sr those sinlusM. shores '
For there Jehovah shines with heavenly ray,
There Jesus reigns, dispensing endless day.
The dwellers there are not like these of earth,
No mortal sUUu they I tear ;
And yet they sewn of kindred blood and birth?
W hence, and how came they there?
Earth wm their native soil; from sin and sham*,
Through tribulation they to glory came ?
Hond-slavoa delivered from sin's crushing load,
Brands plucked from burning by tho baud of (iod.
Those robes of theirs are not like these below?
No angel's half so bright!
Whence camu thut beauty, whence that living glow?
I Whcnec came that radiance white ?
w nsh'd In the blood of the atoning lamb,
Fair as the light .thoaa rolxa of theirs became;
And now, all tears wiped off from ev'ry eye,
They wander where the freshest pastures lie,
Through all tho niglitlesi day of that unfading sky.
Do you want to be severe ? Reply gently to
scurrilous language.
