The subject 4f the address will be "The In fluence of Christianity on the Formation of Character," and it will be Intended particu larly for young men. The association, how ever, cordially invites all, old and young, to attend, and there can be no doubt but that the invitation will be accepted by such a large number of persons that the lecture room, large as it Is, will be crowded. A QUEER CLUSTER. At the Lone Star .saloon, kept by Mrs. Catherine Schreiber, at the corner of the Sorapuru Market, there is on exhibition a freak of nature which must prove of interest to all clutivators of oranges in, at least, this section of prolific Louisiana. It consists of a bunch of sweet oranges eight inches long by about six in diameter. On this stem there are no fewer than thirty fully matured oranges. Necessarily the fruit are of diminutive size-about that of mandarins-but they are perfect and as luscious as their superiors in tulk. The cluster comes from the Graver placa, near Harvey's canrl, on the right bank of the river, and is a rare oerloetty. CAPT. EAI)S. His Travels and Observations in the Old Worldl.

Administrator Belian immediately called the city surveyor into consultation, and the necessary measures were taken by thitse officials to provide for the strengthen ing of the threatened poInts.

As to the foot of Calliope street, he declares that there is no available mooring place there for barges, and, as far as the iattboatmen themselves are concerned, he Is convinced that they aire satisfied with the provisions made to facilitate them in the working of their boats.

Mr. Horter added (sup porting his words with Illustrations), that this provision of the 3onstitution was one of its most important features, and one which in its results to the commercIal prosperity of New Orleans could notbe computed.
