n\lLY EVENING STAR. LO C At MTELLIGBM C B. Metropolitan Mechanics' Issttttt* ?We raid * visit yesterday evening, to the rooms of the Metropolitan Mechanic.-' Institute, on Pennsylvania avenue, for the purpose of see ing the mefioi of instruction adopted by its pro'essorof Drawing with hisclasses, and must confess that we were highly gratified at the performances of the pupi.s Tneae classes have now been in operation for four month*, and the Dumber of students whose names are enrolled on the hooks, is 113: the average attendance ea'h evening of instruction, the elates being held three times per week, being 87. , The method of instruction adopted is excellently suited for the purpose, and is what may be called entirely inventive at the commence ment. no copying of any kind being allowed. The pupil? are after this instructed in a course of model drawing, applied to the various prac tical necessities of each For this purpose, the rooms are well supplied with cists and models of various kinds, and we noticed among these. as cocspicvnus object*, two full sized plaster cast? of the celebrate! statue of th* Venus de Medici. They were presented to the Institute by Mr Clark Mills, the sculptor. an<i are. perhaps, the only two of the kind in the United (state*. The moulds were taken fr >m the original, which is preserved at the ducal Petti pal;ice in Florence. The present course will terminate on Friday, when a meet ing of the pupils and friends of the Institute will be held. There will be a vacation of six weeks, wtfjn the studies will be resumed, and the next course will be practical studies in architectural, mechanical and ornamental drawing. The Metropolitan Mechanics' Institute will not have an annual exhibition this year, although they will probably have one on the enruing year. For this purpose they have been at the expense of having a new die, for the prize medal made. It has been done by Mitthell of Bostrn. and cost the society $2oO. The design is very neat, having on one side a profile of Washington, in bold relief, which is capitally executed; and on the reverse, a medallion surrounded by a scroll, with the fallowing words: '? Presented by the Metro politan Mechanics' Institute." National Theatric ?That accomplished and versatile actress. Miss Agnes Robertson, who has been lately playing at the National Theatre. draws nightly crowded houses. Last eight, a large and enthusiastic audience greet ed this lady with laughter, smiles, and tears, as she excited their sympathies. Her acting, like the waad of an enchantress, performing wonders, in bending their inclinations to her will. To give a criticism upon her style of acting now, would be too late?she has already been rigidly scrutinized, and has passed through the fiery ordeal,* stamped with the mark of popular approbation. An actress of her peculiar forte is an uncommon instance; Lor do we know of any on the stage at the J recent time that can be placcd in comparison. n her style of acting, she resembles two cele brated actresses of a former period?Madame \'e?tris and Miss Foot, afterwards CountecS of Harrington, ?nd possesses both the archness of the one and the grace of the other, ller per formance, last night, of Master Bob Nettles, in the comic drama of that name, was a most amusing illustration of the spoiled. ]>etted, good-natured, mischievous urchin at school, who. under the mask of frivolity and heedless ness, hides a thousand noble qualities. His companion school-boy, the big, lubberly Mas ter iVaddelowe. was capitally performed by Mr. Hale, and Mr. Vining represented the Parisian usher. Monsieur Tourbillon, with ex cellent effect. The other characters. Mr. SwisL. Master of Jubilee House Select Acad emy. Mary Swish, his daughter, and Virginia, the daughter of Monsieur Tourbillon, were performed with much spirit by Mr. McKeon, ilis3 Fielding, and Mrs. Ada King. At the conclusion of the piece, there were loud calls f >r Miss Robertson, who appeared before the curtain, led on by Mr. M :K.eon. and was re ceived with tumultuous applause. To-night, she appears a-ain in the same piece, as well as in others. Fra.ncosi's Hippodrome.?The whole of this establishment, we understand, such as it is in New York, will take a part in their forth coming representations. There are attached to it a company of nearly one hundred per formers, a stud of seventy splendid horses, many of them thorough bred, with ponies, rtaga, apes, ostriches, rein deer, Ac. The wardrobe of the performers and the trappings of the horses are of the most gorgeous descrip tion, and the miteriel includes a large num bar of costly chariots andcars used in the per formances. The entertainments given at the hippodrome are of the most animated and ex citing character, while they are quite unlike anytning ever previously presented in this country. The arrangements for its opening in this city are going on with great rapidity, and the date of its first representation will very ! fhortly be announced, with full particulars a to the attractions which will be offered, it should be mentioned that Mons. Franconi will personally superintend the performances of nis troupe. A success of no ordinary descrip tion may be anticipated here. Morse'* Telegraph.?A lecture on the magnetic telegraph, commonly known as Morse s Telegraph, was delivered on Monday night, by Dr Hay. of Illinois, at the rooms of the Metropolitan Mechanics' Institute, before a largo audience. The lecture was devoted to an explanation of the principles on which this telegraph is worked, and was highly instruc tive. giving many present information upon a subject witii whi:h they were unacquainted, although now in common use. Lectures of this description, upon the principles and mechanism of the scicntifie operations that are no.v carried on almost in our houses, are highly useful, and when of such a nature, are certain of receiving public patronage. At the conclu sion f Lis lecture. Dr. Hay performed several experiments with the galvanic battery and with the electrical machine. One of the audi ence. after having been electrified, was so charged with the duid, that he was enabled to light a lamp with his finger. Heal Estate.?A farm of 113 acres, on the turnpike road Irom Georgetown to Rockville, situated about five miles from the former place, and belonging to Mr. Somers, has been sold to Mr. Curtiss of N. Y., for $11,000. Another, of 150 or 160 acres, belonging to Bladen For rest. and which is likewise situated about live iciles from Georgetown, has been sold to Dr. Hedges of Marlboro . Prince George's county, for $10,000. Yesterday, a sale of real estate, consisting of building lots near the railroad depot, took place by auction. Messrs. Green <fc Scott, auc tioneers. Rudolph Buchly bought a lot, fronting 22 feet on New Jersey avenue, con taining 2,930 feet, at 31 cents, and James Crutehett, a lot fronting 22 feet on the same aten'ie, containing 2,&6o feet a*, 30 cents. A* Odd Wat ok dqi.xo it.?Passing nlong the Avenue this morning, our attention was called to a baker's boy who distributed his bread in nearly the same mannor that a news boy would his papers; the only difference consisting in the fact that where the newsboy fails of gaining admission he winds the paper about the door knob, but the baker's boy de posits his bread in an upright position against the door. It looked odaly enough to see two great loves of naked bread standing upright against a street door, and we could not help taiuking what a beautiful mouthful one of tnem would be for some hungry dog to levy upon The Shanghai.?An exchange says t ?'Counterfeit Shanghais'' tre said to be frequently sold at auction in New York. Now, we have in Washington a real live shanghai of tho female genus, who, as many of our poultry fattcttr* can vouch from per sonal knowledge, is no counterfeit, but a real biped of the Shanghai family, and may be seen any day or evening on exhibition at one "f cur most public places. Gentlemen, who'll buywho'll buy ? Lt. ti re?La*t night a very erudite and instructive lecture was delivered at Carusi's Saloon, by ProfaMor Schonenberg, on the German language and literature, which was sot. however, so well attended, as the subject *nd the masterly manner in which it was handled, demanded. CoapoBATios Debt.?The total funded debt of the Corporation is $778,860.

Louisa Sanford. an alleged keeper of a boose of assignation, was being prosecnT?d as such, ft'h1 in the course of the proceedings one of the vritnes -es being called upon to atai e to the juiv all he knew concerning the house, said that "to jive the jury an idea of the class, rank and condition of the place, he would name the professions of the different people he had seen go there : "Ministers. here he was interrupted by immoderate laughter, when he added, ?not ministers of the gospel, but minis ters ot pditics?imported ministers. Congress men. merchants, n echanics, lawyers, dandies, row lies and loafers ' Laughter. When asked how long he had known the character of the defendant, or the character of the bouse, he replied " about three years." He was then asked why, (being a member of the police,) he had not laid the matter be fore the grand jury ? and replied that a list of all the houMS of that description in his ward had been drawn up, and some time ago pre sented to that body for consideration and sup pression. but had received no notice except derision; he, therefore, felt conscious of hav ing discharged his duty in the matter. Another witness was called to the stand, and. being also an official, the same question of duty was put to him. accompanied by an in sinuation on the part of the counsel for the de fendant, that hii brother officer did not choose to do his duty because the grand jury neglect ed theirs. This was denied, and an alterca tion of words ensued, which, but for the inter ference of the Judge, bid fair to end in blows. The excitement in the room run high, and the Judge declared that he would have both parties placed under custody forthwith, which effec tively cooled thein off. Pcblic Improvements.?In addition to the improvements now being carried on by Con gress. the corporation have awakened up to the necessity of doing something in the way of improving the health of the city. For this purpose several acts for making sewers, which had parsed the Councils, have been approve 1 of by the Mayor. The following is an enu meration of the above : A sewer from the near est point of the canal along the middle of 6th street west, to the south side of Louisiana av enue; another along the middle of C street, north, from the 6th street sewer to a pwint in C street opposite to the alley which discharges into C street from square No. 553; a third along the middle of 4f street, from the south side of C street north to the canal; fonrth, along the south front of square 491, form 4} street sewer to the 6th street sewer. So soon as they are completed the commissioner will assess one half the cost, in just proportion, upon the property benefitted thereby. The following improvements are also to be made in the Fifth ward; Second street east is t ) be graveled from Pennsylvania to Maryland avenues. The bridge over the Tiber at H street north is to be repaired. Second street west, from Pennsylvania avenue to C street north, is to be graded and graveled. The alleys in square 284 are to be improved in a similar manner. Provident Association of Clerks.?This society held their 37th annual meeting on Monday afiernoon, when the annual report was read by the Secretary. It appears from this that the invested capital of the association is about $20,000?the income for the past year from quarterly dues from members and in terests on oapital invested in stocks, about $1,900. Of the 80 odd members two have died within the last year, whose payments to the Association, jointly, amounted to about $600. and whose heirs were entitled to and have re ceaved about $1,600. Of about 75 members who have died since its first organization, and whose contributions amounted to upwards of $10,000. their families have realized upwards of $30,000?at least 306 per cent, upon their investments. An election of officers for the ensuing year then took place, when the following wore chosen : Mr J . A. M. Duncanson, president; Chas. Calvert, secretary; Messrs. Chas. S. Frai ley, Thoa. Fillebroun, David Saunders, Presley Simpson. Tcheffaly and Dorsey, a board of di rectors. A Gift.?Last evening, some person placed a basket containing an intant about two weeks old and well supplied with good clothes, at the door of a gentleman's residence on 3rd street. The gentleman not feeling inclined to Adopt the little one, declined|the generous offer ; but we are told has transferred his right to the Corporation, which will take care of the '? young "un." Paying off.?Coroner Woodward has com menced paying the jurors who have served on inquests during three months previous to Jan uary 1st. Inquests have been numerous, and the amount of money required to pay the jurors will be considerable. The pay of a juror is $1.25. New Bcildixg.?Yesterday, workmen com menced digging the foundation for a large and elegant dwelling house about to be erected for Captain John H. Qoddard, on I street between 6th and 7th. Deserting.?Several U. S. Marines were ar rested last night, and confined in the central watch-house; all were well drunk and full of fun. They were suspected of attempting to desert, and the confession of One confirmed the suspicion. They were taken to the barracks this morning, where they will be confined until a court martial can settle the affair. Coclun't Comprehend.?A Frenchman o,t one of the hotels in this city, speaking of the depot. Bounded the" t. A friend standing by remarked that the t was silont, that the word was pronounced depo.

Ocean Peknt Postage.?A lecture on this subject will be delivered to-morrow evening at Carasi's Saloon, by Mr. Elihu Burritt, to which the admission will be free. Diseases of the Lungs, 4c.?There is no malady to which the human system is sub jected. to which less attention is paid, than that of diseases of the lungs. And yet how numerous are the cases in this country of peo ple so afflicted. How many lives might have been saved, had timely aid been resorted to by those who have lingered month after month, and year after year, under this aggravating complaint, and at last sunk under it. There has been happily a new system discovered, by which those who avail themselves of it, in its early stages, rarely fail of being restored to perfect health. It is the inhaling of medi cated vapor in the lungs, first introduced here by I>r. ltobert Hunter, who has been exceed ingly successful in cases of consumption There are many residents here, who h ive been under his care, who speak in the highest terms of praise aqd gratitude of his professional abili ties. It is, therefore, to us a pleasing duty to announce to those desirous ot consulting him, that he will visit our city professionally, (as will be seen by our advertising columns,) on Friday next, and remain over the following day, when we advise all suffering from affec tions arising from the lungs to give him a _ i GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Georgetown, April 5, 1854. The mild weather of the last two or three days has produced quite a change in business along our wharves and Water-st. This morn ing signs of returning activity are visible in every direction. The number of packets and other vessels receiving and discharging car goes is considerable. There is also quite a Heel of small craft discharging cargoes of lumber, wood, Ac. And in every direction which the eye turns, drays, cart*, and wag goas, arc harrying to and fro with flour, grain, bay, Ac. At the meeting of the directors of the Metropolitan Railroad yesterday afternoon, but little business of moment was done more than the passage of a resolution, directing the Chief Engineer to proceed, with as little delay as possible, to locate the rout, and make the necessary estimates of cost, maps and plans, and report to the Board This work will be mffieient to occupy the time of the engineer for some six or eight weeks. The amount of flour inspected in our city for the !a*t ten years, according to friend Shoemaker's report, amounts to usex 2.700,000 barrels, an turmgp of 270,000 barrels for each year. ?* i< - : ? j The -foreign news of this morning has had hot tittle effect upon our fl >ur market, < ther than to strengthen the bears in their hopes of succeeding in obtaining from the bulls still further concessions.

We think, how ever, that this morning's news will bring them together, and that something will be done in the coarse of the day. Sellers are still de manding $7. No change in wheat or eorn. If the fellow who caught one of the carriers of the iStar in Georgetown yesterday, and took from him several <>f bis papers and tore them up, repeats the offence, we will not only expose him, but try the force of the law upon him.

The Spring trade, thns far. hns been un usually dull, and our merchants complain se riously. With all the internal improvements, mills, railroads, canals, and brick warehouses inclusive, the retail trade of our city has in creased in no proportion to -the rise in rents and taxation, and 1 fear our wholesale busi ness is calculated a figure far above its real value. Certainly, the transaction of last week exhibit a tremendous rise in the price of real estate, and the recent steps toward organ izing a board of trade, seem looking to a in creased commercial interest, but thus far our commerce is by no means what it should be. While Alexandria is only a large commission and forwarding house for the Northern cities, we surely cannot expect to rank high in com mercial importance. There is considerable difference between buying grain and building locomotives for other States, as much as be tween a warehouse and a manufactory. Last night, the lecture of Prof, llallowcll at the Lyceum was well attended, and his learn ed and ingenious remarks listened to with an attention which must have been highly grati fying to the distinguished lecturer.

ARRIVAL OP the BALTIC TTVE DATS LATEE FROM iCEOPK New Yobc, April 4, 5 P. m __Th_ sieamer Baltic arrived here at 4 i p jj this afternoon, with three days later ad vices from Europe. Iler dates are Liver pool, March 22. American stock was firm. THE EA8TEBN QUESTION. The Czar of Russia postively rejects all propositions of the Western Powers, and war is now considered as inevitable. There is nothing new from Constanti nople. The combined fleets would soon enter the Black Sea. Thirty thousand troops were at Odessa and another corps of seventy thousand vjerc about establishing themselves at Sabastapool. Over one hundred thou, sand men are said to be on the march be tween Odessa and Moscow. The warlike preparations made by England and Trance had created the wildest excitement among the Turkish troops, and spring will usher in war on the most gigantic scale. The continued 6now and ice in Asia still cheeks operations in that quarter. The Russians are represented as re ceiving great reinforcements. Admiral Napier's fleet arrived at Win goe Sound in the Baltic on the 15th ult. iheon?um,ral arrived at Copenhagen on the 20th in a steamer. The allied fleets were still at Besika my, but would soon re-enter the Black Xo further fighting was reported either m Europe or in Asia. On the Danube affairs are unchanged. It was reported that a Russian convoy of treasure had been captured near Kars, in Asia. ENGLAND The decline in the funds is considered as owing to the unfavorable character of the secret correspondence in which the designs of Russia upon Turkey are clear ly expressed, and the continued drain upon the bullions in the Bauk of England The rumors of the failure of a laree Australian house were current in London. Lord Gilbert Grosvenor is dead. A debate had occurred in Parliament on the treatment of colored subjects of Great Britian by the United States. The laborers' strike at Preston had led to serious disturbances, and many arrest had been made. The depression in London and Liver rd M h,vc in view of large rectiPv.D.? desire to sell, to arrive from the Baltic. 7 exPected FRANCE. The first division of French troops had left for the seat of war. The steamers in which they embarked left Marseilles on Sunday afternoon. Prince Napoleon, it was said, would leave for the East on the 6th of April. AUSTRIA. Austria still remains in her neutral position. She has not signified her in tention one way or the other, but is evi dently preparing for some ulterior move ment, as she is raising large armies. She , will not sanction the Czar in retaining his position in the principalities. Much excitement prevails all over Ger many. . SPAIN. Spain continues in a very precarious state, and there are still apprehensions of a revolution. GREECE. The Greek insurrection has not yet been quelled. IRELAND. Ireland and Sootland remain quiet. ? MISCELLANEOUS. The impression prevails that the Bank of England will advance the rate of inter est, but the committee separated to-dav without resolving on anything definite. The Globe says the Turkish Loan of ?2,000,000 sterling was taken by the Rothschilds to-day at 84. The stock is to be reimbursed at par 15 years from the date of i?sue. These terms exact nearly 9 per cent. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that 3,000 British troops were to pass through France to ombark at Toulon or Marseilles, and the first detachment was expected in Paris on the 1st of April. The publication of the secret corres pondence which took place between Russia and England some years back had increased the ^ood feeling of France to wards England. The Danish ministry retain office. Benjamin ?lkin & Son, of London, have failed. Arrests have been made at Preston of the deli gates and committee men of the workmen, on the charge of conspiracy. Heavy forgeries have been committed on the Havana agent of the San Fernan do Bank at Madrid. THE MAE SETS Liverpool.
