Washington Thkatbk ? Miss Heron,baring achieved apparent impoahibilities In making us admire, or, at least, cease to abhor, the Parisian " Cainille," now proceeds to new triumphs. To night she undertakes the arduous character of ?' Medea,'' in her own translation from Legonve's tragedy. The piece, we understand, is to Le carefully put upon the stage, as indeed is almost invariably the case at this well managed estab lishment. It is cast as follows: Medea, Miss Heron; Lycaon and M**lanthus, (Medea's chil dren,) Viola and Adrle Phgkett, Creusa, M s S'oneall ; lanthe, Mrs Ca man ; Creon, Mr. F Bangs; Jason, Mr J B Howe; Orpheus. Mr. D Whiting ; Corinthian. Mr. Russell. It is proper to remind our readers that this tragedy will not be repeated. Miss Heron ha* shown a power of delineating with terrible etIW t the inteusest emotion, snob as Is called for in the part of Medea, aud her rendition of it will doubtless be a performance to tv remembeied.

GLORGHTOWN A #fA I & 8 Ctrrttpomdenct ?/ tk* Stat Gkob?.btowx, F?b le. IKK Our city Is unusually quiet in every reapert Tbe election for member* of tbe City Conacll, which comes off on Monday next, the AM, .as yet attracts but little attention Our citizens gener ally seem to manifest leaa latereal la tbe matter, and to be more careless as to what may be tbe r?aalt. than we have often known before Pretty much the only topic of general Interest is the report of tbe aperial committee of tbe Senate, made aome weeks aince by Mr Slideit, upon tbe aubjecl of the Diatilct lank* This continue* to lie pretty thoroughly diarua*ed. and in some instance* pretty closely criticised, ao tai a? Us applicability to the necessities of the peo ple of tbe District is concerned, by a large por tion of all cia.x*es of our busiueas luen And not withstanding we have among us many who are In tbe main opi>med to the local hank system of the country, and others who think that some r* strictions should be placed upon them by tn* legislative powers urder which they mayejiat, as yet we have heard but one opinion expreaaed In regard to thecbangea proposed by the Senate*n committee, and that la, that tbey are too de> cidedlv radical in their character, and is such direct conflict with what has been common uaage in this District from time immemorial that the enforcement of such a law would be tbe next thing to an impossibility, so long a? the present laws for tbe regulation of tbe banking oysUuoi of Virginia and MaM lsi d are in existence, not withstanding the penalty alfixed for its violation mitrbt be ever so severe Were It neces- anr to our purpose, we c >uld as sign aeveial reasons In support of our po*trion. either of which we think would be satisfactory to every unprejudiced mind We are aware that the po'wei lodged with those wbo would be charyed with its execution Is great, but w* are k.tt;?n-d Tom our short experience in sucb mat ters that it would not be *ufl|c|ent to tbe emer gency. Common and long e?tabli?hed usage, and well settled public opinion*, ar* not easily rooted out of any community, when sucfa opin ions a id usa/e have been superind?K-ed by th* wants, the necessities of the people, even though tbe strong arm of the law should be appealed to for their destruction, under a government lika ours. When TbeniWocle* demanded the naeon ditional surrender of tbe Adrians, for their fail ure to make common cause with Greece against ttie Persian* under Xerxe*. he told thaaa (tha Adrians) that be brought with htm two power ful divinities, pe'soaaion and force. "Aad you will be oppo ed ' va? tbe stern reply. ?'by two equally powerful, necewlty (or poverty) and des peration.*1 The same In our oplntos, would be tbe result In caae Congress abould enact the pro posed law and attempt to enforce It. Tbe oAcsr* of the law might come with their dlelaltle*. per suasion and force, but tbey wonld be met by the nple with those of the Adrlans necesalty and pe rat ion. and in sucb a contest we do aot think It reouires either s prophet or '.he son of a prophet to foretell what would be the lesult. We wish It to be distinctly understood ?ha? we never have been aav great friend to ibe local bank system of our country, or thst se an* coun selling opposition to any wholesome or m a wary lsw which Congre-s mar make for orn gofers inent.
