Gen. Burnside Coming to Chicago.— Our Washington dispatches announce that Gen. Burnside contemplates visiting Chicago at an early day. Oar citizens should make the ne cessary arrangements to give him an appro priate reception and to show their apprecia tion of a man who has done the country much service, and proved himself an unselfish pat riot, and a frenk, honest, open-hearted man. Correction.— We arc assured that our no tice of the ravages of small-pox at Evanston and the consternation proceeding therefrom, was a mountain made out of a mole MU. A German had the disease and died of it, and that ended the ravages of the epidemic. The city maintains its usual proprieties, business goes on uninterrupted, the schools are in ses sion, and there U nothing to be feared, either upon the part of residents or strangers who may contemplate a trip to this beautiful suburban locality. A ilnfiATunn Lady. —Little Dollic Dutton, the young lady eleven and a half years old, twenty-nine inches high, and weighing only fifteen pounds, will shortly give a series of her levees in this city, due notice of which will be given in our advertising columns. She will be assisted at her levees by a Boston vocalist, Hiss E. A. Harsh. Little Dollic is well known here as the very embodiment of beauty, symmetry and sprightly intellect. Her levees will undoubtedly prove among the most attractive amusements of tbc season. A Glass Missikg. —Our readers will remem ber that the police a descent upon the Burnett House, a Jew days since, and found several persons there who received the atten tion of Justice Miller of the Police Court.

He made his appearance before the police with a black eye and scarred face, and swore out a warrant for the offender. But the po lice found, after diligent search, that Gloss had left the city on the Michigan Southern cars. TatifKS. —The managers of the Old Ladies 1 Home take this method of returning their very sincere thauks to the singers and per formers who favored them with their gratuit ous services at the Concert lately given In aid ol their Home; also to the city press, which bo generously aided in calling together the noble audience; to T. B. Bryan, Esq., for his generosity in reducing the expense of the •Rnp - to Mr. J. S. Thompson, who gratui tously printed all the tickets; and to Mr. 8. P. Rounds, for a liberal deduction on his bill for printing programmes; and lastly they are specially thankful to a generous public, who eo liberally patronized the Concert as to placo in their treasury the sum of £SOO for the uses of the institution. Larceny or a Watch.—A man, giving Ms same as diaries O'Shea, was arrested Thurs day night, charged with stealing a watch, valued at about SO, the property of John J. Pendergast. It appeared from the statement of the complainant that, arriving in the city lately, he was met by the prisoner, whom ho had known before, and requested to go to his house to board. This ho did, and at the so licitation of O'Shea paid him some money in advance, and, as there was no timc-pioco in the house, he also hnng up his watch for the benefit of the inmaicsl A day or two after wards the watch was missing, and on making inquiries lie learned that O'Shea had taken it. O’Shea acknowledged pawning it for the pur pose of procuring food, and agreed to get it immediately. Smic time having elapsed, Pendergast again asked for the watch, when he was told by O'Sbea to u do his worst iu the matter; that he should not have the watch until he got ready to give it to him." Think ing this was not exactly right, Pendergast made complaint, and O'Shea was arrested as above slated. He was held In S2OO for trial In the Recorder's Court. Ton the Benefit of Union Soldiers.— A grand lair and ball will be held at Bryan Hall on Friday, the loth, and Saturday, tbc 14th insU., for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers of the Union.

Bbutal Tbeatiibnt of Union Pbuokebs. —Six privates of Co. K, SCHh Illinois volun teers, who were captured at Murfreesboro on the 29th of December, were conveyed for twelve days iu box cars, all over the South, seventy men in a car, which had carried horses and mulct:, and were not cleaned out before the piisoncrs were put in them. They were confined in the Libby prison at Rich mond for fourteen days, and their stockings, drawers, shirts, overcoats and blankets were taken away from them. They were finally sent to our lines, covered with filth and ver min. Contrast this with the kind and ha mane treatment the rebel prisoners arc re ceiving at Camp Douglas. That dastardly treasonable sheet, the Timet, has been express ing great sympathy for them, and by the most infamous lies-attempting to enlist the sympathy of the public. What docs it think of this treatment of Union men, for whom it has never spoken a favorable word since the war broke out ? Ikcbsi£sd Demand for Cottages —-A ' Word io Capitalists.— Never in the history • of Chicago has there been so great a demand i for cottages and medium sized dwellings, as « at the present time. We arc assured by a 1 ■house renting agent, who has been in the 1 business here for twelve years, that never 1 within that time baa the demand been any- ] thing like the present. At this season of the 1 year they usually have from thirty to forty ] ‘dwellings on their books for rent, while now : they seldom have over two or three, and these arc picked up in a day or two. Those who have advertised cottages in the Tribune, « for rent,*’ have had as many as fifty applies- \ tions before noon on the day on which the ad-1 rcrtlsement appeared. From these facts, we may Infer that the population of Chicago is rapidly increasing, and it becomes capitalists to prepare to meet the demand. One gentleman erected six neat, convenient cottages last frll,at a coil of s£oo each, and rented them all before they wore completed, at sls per month. Capital ists who will build cottages to rent at from $lO to sls per month, cannot make a bettor investment, especially If located in the West Division, where every one w>em sto tend. That aide will scon govern the city In the way of rceld«it« t » TEE BATTLE FLAGS OF THE ILLINOIS NINETEENTH. THEIR PRESENTATION TO THE HIS TORICAL SOCIETY. Correspondence upon the Pre- sentation. The movement to procure a new stand of colors for the old 19th regiment Illinois vol unteers, was cordially sustained by our citi zens, and resulted in complete success. The most elegant and cosily stand of colors ever presented to an Bllnols regiment has been prepared by Chambers, at the expense of members of the Board of Trade and our citi- Zens generally. Lieutenant V. Bradford Bell of that regiment, (eon of Judge Bell of this city,) Is entitled to great credit for originating the movement, and for his untiring efforts in carrying It out successfully. Our readers will remember this gallant young officer as the some who so heroically defended his stockade against a rebel force nearly twenty times his superior, and most miraculously escaped instant death at Murfreesboro, in which ca- gngement he was wounded iu the head. The new colors will be committed to his keeping for transmission to the regiment, who may well be proud of these glorious em blems, presented as mementoes of the high esteem in which it is held by our citizens. The old colors of the regiment, companions in Us hardships and perils, were to-day un furled in the Board of Trade rooms, amid great enthusiasm, and were subsequently pre sented to the Historical Society of the city, and according to the subjoined correspond ence, were received by its officerswith evident emotion. All honor to our noble citizens, who thus manifest their high appreciation of the tried valor and patriotism of the heroic and invin cible old 19tU. The following is the correspondence which accompanied the interesting presentation to the Historical Society: lETTZBPBESENTDfO TOE FLAG. Chicago, Feb. 0,1563. Rev.Wx. BAnnv, Secretary Chicago Historical Eocictv.—Dear Sir:—ln behalf of the 19th Regi ment HI. Vote., I respectfully offer for your accep tance the old stand of colors belonging to that corps. This Regiment, as yon are aware, Is one of the oldest in the service, and these flags have accom panied it through more than 4000 weary miles of march, in the states of Illinois, Missouri, Ken tucky, Tennessee and Alabama, under our gallant old chieftain—Turchin. They were the first loyal banners unfurled at Bowling Green, being earned bv our Regiment in the advance on that strong hold of the Rebels. Hard usage, long service and the fire ofthc enemy in skirmish and battle, have done their work upon them, and gallantly home under the lead of onr heroic young commander— Scott, at Murfreesboro, they came out ia frag ments, as you see. These colors were originally presented to onr Regiment by the citizens cl Chicago, who now most generonslv replace them with a new set, ele gant and costly. It Is therefore proper that the old ones should repose among onr people, and on be half of the old 10th, I respectfully present them to the Chicago Historical Society, to bo deposited among its collections. Their present appearance and condition are vouchers ofthc bardand perilous service perform ed by the Regimen*, for all of which, I assure you. the confidence and good opinion of our friends and fellow-citizens at home, bo kindly manifested, is an ample reward. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. Lx. V. Bradford Bell, 19th Illinois. THE RESPONSE. Chicago. Feb. G, 1863. Lieutenant V. Bradford Bell, ll'th lies't 111. Vol’s, U.B. A.

T/.opas Drummond. —This Court has been occupied for several days in the trial of ejectment suits, growing out of conflicting titles to portions of what is known as the Miiitaiy Tract. Yesterday there wasaTVis consin Farm mortgage case in hearing,—one ot the Racine and Mississippi Railroad series. There are screw! suits of public interest on the docket, which may bo reached within u few days. So far, the term has been an ex ceedingly dry one. Sui’EKlOß CoCET. — I'sfore the Court ia bane. —The full bencli of Judges arc still busy with the objections to the special assessments. Judgment was rendered yesterday on the Dearborn Street warrant, though there was the most strenuous exertion put forth by the objectors to prevent this result. If the city is not again interfered with, the nuisances now infesting the south part of Dearborn Street, and known as Custom House Place, will be speedily removed, and the long de sired improvements made. Recorder's Conn—Before Hon. 12. S. TTi7- «w».—The jury in the case of Geo. Seymour, the hotel thief, noted yesterday, found the de fendant guilty, and Hied his term of punish ment at one year In the penitentiary. As announced in our last issue, the trial of Pierce Doran, for shooting ids wife, came on at the opening of the Court yesterday morn ing, John Mason, esq., appearing for the prisoner. The evidence developed during the day was substantially that given at the pre liminary examination, and os it was of no re cent occurrence, docs not warrant us In tak ing the space required for a reproduction hero. The simple tacts arc, that Doran came to Chicago in April, to work in the black smithshop of the Northwestern Railroad Company. His wife and family remained at Thornton, and one Christopher Casey, a neighbor, became intimate with Mrs. Doran, and, as is charged, had frequent criminal In tercourse with her. Doran afterwards brought his family to Chicago, and on the 2Gth of De cember Mrs. Doran gave birth to a child. The prisoner having been informed of the tact by his boy, went to his home, and after clothing himself in his best suit, deliberately took a pistol, which he staled had been some time In readiness for the purpose, and shot his wife in the lace, inflicting a severe and painful wound, one from which, according to the attending physician's testimony, very few persons would have recovered. He was im mediately arrested, offering no resistance, and has since that time remained In jail. The testimony so lar has simply shown the fact of the shooting, and the criminality of Casey and Mrs. D., the former, it is said, being the father of the child. Doran is an lilahman of perhaps thirty-five years of age, below tho medium height, and of small though muscular frame. He la dressed In a fall suit of Mack Rothes, and Trttu well combed hair and „ mnd moustache, presents altogether a respectable appearance. His wife, who is also present in Court, is by no means ill looking, and In ap . pcarancc, neat and tidy, Ou tbc other hand Casey is a large, overgrown, raw-boned man, with a vicious look of Ibe eye, and a boll dog cost of countenance. Ho has served a term in the penitentiary for causing the death of his I wife, From the evidence, hire, Doraa seem* cd to think a great deal Of him, and they both were quite free in their regrets that.&to had not thrown them together earlier. The tihl will he proceeded with torday. THE GALLERY OF FINE ARTS, An Afternoon with, tlxo Old Masters. The Gallery of Fine Aria now exhibiting at 107 Lake street, contains some very good pic- tores, both by ancient and modem masters. There are plenty of copies, it Is true, on the ; walls, and some of them ore rather comical failures, representing nothing that we arc ac quainted with, either in the heavens above, the carthbelow, orthe waters under the earth. Of this class, and prominently so, on ac count of its pretentions size and ambitious design, Is that called “The Seaport on the Mediterranean,” which professes to be a genu ine Salvator Rosa, from the celebrated Hungarian Gallery, which, “was brought to New fork, for sale, during the Hungarian convulsions.” That this professed history of it Is the real one, so far as it goes, we have no reason nor desire to doubt, but that it was the produc tion of the great Master whose name it bears, is altogether beyond the limits of credibility; that it was originally the performance of a master of the secrets both of drawing and coloring, some parts of the com position give very clear and decisive proofs. The figures to the right, in the foreground,for example, were neither designed nor painted by a journeyman, but bear upon them the un mistakable marks of genius. We allude par ticularly to that which is represented as bending over a barrel-head, as if in the act of bartering with a Turkish soldier, who stands by with shouldered musket, in a red costume, which reminds one of a Jewish gaberdine. The head and face of this figure ere admirably executed, and the effect of the fight upon the blue scarf and delicate yel low of the tunic, Is surprisingly beautiful. So also is the rendering of the same effect up on the back of the stooping figure to the left of the soldier; but these arc all the excellencies which the picture possesses, and even In these there are no signs of Salvator Rosa’s pencil. As a com position it is false and out of all balance and proportion, and the coloring is abominable. Dutch ships stick in the filthy green paint which is meant for water; the mountains, on the left, are muddy, patchy, angular daubs which rise one above the other into a sky as black and unseemly, and unnat ural as they arc themselves; nay blacker, and if possible of a more infernal aspect. The things meant for clouds arc as pitchy,thick and solid, as a schoolboy would be apt to paint the dense smoke of a blast furnace, if he had nothing but lamp-black to paint it with. The colors of the Temple close to the Turk- Isli figures before alluded to, do certainly throw the figures themselves Into a certain relief, but are otherwise no kind of ornament to the picture. Eut tbc most recherche effort—the master triumph of the whole achievement—is the mighty sunburst of mustard yellow where with the whole mid-sky is emblazoned I Jean Paul speaks of a sunset which, in the variety of its colors, loooked as if a painter, tired of work, had Hung his pallet against the sky and stained it with vermlllion and violet and blue and all the rest of the chromatics—but here is a sunset not of many, but of one color, which has been dashed on to the canvass as with the wash brush of the servant who does the house cleaning. Ilia possible, Judging of the whole by the few good parts to it, that once upon a time this canvass was the goodly presentment of a feir seaport on the Mediterranean—but that it subsequently, in loug after years, fell amongst thieves who robbed it of its beauty, and then daubed it with horrid paint in order to conceal the felony. As we said, however, there arc some very gcod pictures here, and two or three not for sale, which arc very rare specimens of early art, and valuablcas liuka between the ancient and modern methods. The “Madonna Enthroned” Is ono ofthese, and there is no doubt of its genuineness. The artist Is Bernard Van Orley, whose works arc very seldom to ho met with. He was aPlem i»b pupil ol Raflacl, and we have seen letters from Sir Charles East lake, President of the Royal Academy, England, and L. M. Smith, esq., the well-known author of the Catalogue Jtaaoncr, in which both these high authorities pronounce the painting to be the production ot Orley. Another curious picture, which might bo called a companion to the last, is one by Roger Vender "Weyden—a Dyptich—having on one panel a representation of the Virgin and child, and on the other, pictures of the donor to the church from which the Dyptich was taken, and of his patron Baiut. It was originallya mural tablet and alonginscription in German Black Letter, with the Arms, etc,, is on the door of the picture, which was probably exe cuted in 1447, The figure of the “ patron Saint,” as it is called, is rttired in a Bishops’ canonicals, and wears a mitre, and carries a crosier. The head is superbly executed, and the face is full of character and expression. The robe, and indeed every part of the pic ture, arc conscientiously drawn, and the col oring is wonderful, looking as bright and lu minous as if it had just left the painter’s studio. The hand of the “ Saint ”is gloved, and two rings arc displayed upon the fore finger, over the glove. The Saint stands be hind the Donor, who is on his knees before a crucifix, if we remember rightly, with a Latin scroll In his hand, which may be thus trans lated; Of my sins release me. That a lamb I may be. The pious and humble, but sincere looking donor, is painted with long bair, as if brushed straight over and around his fore head, nearly to the eyebrows, (as jail birds are generally made to wear theirs,) and over his neck. ITic landscape, as seen through an open window of the apartment where these ghostly people arc met, contains, in symbol ism, a sort of short life of the Savior. The picture on the other panel is one of “Mary and the Child, 5 ’ and it would scarcely be credited that the same artist painted both but for the undoubted proofs which the coloring affords. We do not like these Marys and Children, and never could get up a senti ment about them; they arc ell so hacknicd and have such a dead sameness and uniform ity about them. The Mary in this picture— although admirably painted, as we said—is bad in drawing, and pale and namby-pambily pure and-ebaste in the expression of the fea- tures. The child i:f not only badly drawn, but the anatomy is false, and instead of a plump little one, to delight our eyes with , we have a miserably ugly little face, on an emaciated body, which looks ns if it were in the last singe of consumption from sheer in anition. The coloring of the accessories, however, is superb and atones for these big faults. Tlio Adoration of the Shepherds is likewise claimed to be nn original, nUbough il does not strike ns as possessing any great merit. It is sold to have been painted by a pupil of Ruben's,’ Gcrrnrd Von Harp, and there Is doubtless a good deal of power in it—but it does not satisfy ns. The coloring is brilliant, but the tones lack harmony, and the free of Mary la too womanly for the Holy Mother of God to show—in art at least. Elizabeth's Is good enough, and docs certainly make a striking contrast in its devotional wrinkles, to that of Mary, but we felt, whilst looking at U, that something was wanting. There was variety sufficient in it, and character also, but the nameless something was not there. Thu Shepherds are done well, and the market girl Who comes into the stable with a water pitcher on her Lead, tells the story of her cu riosity to know what's up, in her eager eyes. The painter has given us the portraits of a couple of oxen in the picture, who look dumb founded ft the goings on before them. He has also painted a couple of roosters tied by the legs to a basket of eggs, which stands at Mary's feet; typical, or prophetical, per* haps, of the cock which crowed thrice on the morning of Judas, his treachery. ! The Holy Family, by candle-light, is aßem brandt sort of picture, and is remarkable for the very clever manner in whlchthe lights and shadows are managed. Some of the heads are excellent, although Mary’s is not the best we have seen; but it is, on the whole, a warm and lifelike picture, and far better than many in the collection which arc called after more famous authors. It is said to be an original Gerrard del Nottc. There arc several other old pictures which we should like to notice, but have no space tc-day. Of the modern ones wo prefer the Land scape in Brittany with Encampment of Trav ellers, No. 50, by LcsDrouyn, to all the rest put tocellicr. It is one of the Tery finest pic tures of its class, which we hare crer seen. Alleged Lvucent. —Two men named W, T. Boyd and John W.

TlVo Acres of Children on SKetefi. To-day the managers oftho ‘Washington Park, with a commendable generosity, will throw open their live acres of ice to five acres of school children, without money and with- out price, until 3 o’clock p. m., at which hour It will become necessary to sweep and prepare the Ice for the evening entertainment of the grown up children. Such a sight is without parallel in the annals of the skating parks, which, by*the-by, would be curious histories If written out. How many delicious Ute-a-Uta in the frosty moonlight’. How many aharming hours with the winged Ca millas, as they scour the Icy plain. It is the characteristic of woman to bo lovely and graceful everywhere, but nowhere la woman more lovely than npon the ice. The tempt ing ankles and tiny foot girt with the flashing steel; the eye liquid and sparkling with the excitement of motion; the pale buds of the cheeks bursting into roses; the graceful form swaying in voluptuous curves, and the whole frame tingling with the subtle bliss—the electricity flowing from the blue ice with each ringing whirl of the steel, a current of joy. What sudden downfalls; what ludicrous tableaux; •what proofs of great Kcwlon’a law; what dls tuibala of equilibrium; what spectacles of costume and dainty habits; what romantic poetry of motion; what mimic, what moon light, what everything! TVhat are the con fessions of the opium eater to the mad pas slon of flying, darting like an arrow from the string, and abandoning one’s self to the delir ium of the moment. We may be excused for going Into rhapsodies, for we have been on ice, and although we are fond of it, have been down on it—down, many a time. Like the gi ant, refreshed and rcinvlgorated by each touch of earth, we have felt the mysterious contact ot icc. The man who has not had that luxury, has much to live for yet. Wc advise everybody, old and young, to get skates. One pair of skates ia worth all the drugs in the market. If there be an Elys ium on earth it is when a man is on skates, with a somebody of the other sex to confiding ly loan uponhim, to flutter about him in all sorts of delicious convolutions, and to teach him the uncertainty of earthly things by help ing him take his measurement upon ice. De pend upon it, it puts off that day many a year when the undertaker will do the same. Therefore, we say to the merchant, leave your ledger; to the minister, forget your heads for awhile; to the lawyer, throw yourbriefmto a corner; to the doctor, throw physic to the dogs; to the sisterhood, leave your dishes, and your piano, your wash-tubs, your little yellow doge—get out of the unhealthy heat of yourparlors, into God’s free_ air, and skate. Bkato early and skate often, and, ourword for it, you will have no occasion to call for esti mable Dr. Scalpel or to patronize the amiable young apothecary on the corner. In any event, if you won’t skate yourself,and persist in forcing yourself to an unnatural ripeness under glass, why,go and see live acres of juve nility at the Washington Park to-day, and dis cover how much happiness there is in this miserable old world after all. Adjourned meeting of the Board of Edui-atlpQi The Board of Education held an adjourned meeting at their rooms yesterday, at 12 m., President Haven in the Chair. Present — Messrs. Prindivilie, Holden, Carpenter, Ryder, Taft, Wicker, Ward. Upon motion of Mr. Carpenter, the reading of the minutes ■was dispensed with. On motion of Mr. Holden, it was ordered that 7,0C0 copies of the Reports of the Super intendent and the Principal of the High School bo printed, in connection with the rules of the Board, for distribution, underthe direction of the President, Mr. Carpenter, and the Superintendent. Mr. Taft offered the following, which was carried. Ordered, That thoPresident appoint a commit tee of three, who together with the President arc hereby instructed to employ, subject totheappro •val of the Board, some competent person, to act as a building and supply agent for the Board, who shall receive such compensation as the Board shall fix and determine, aud who shall have the special oversight and direction of the workmen employed by the Board and the janitors of the several schools attend to the furnishing of supplies, superintend the repairs, and have the general caro of all the property under the direction of the Board; said agent to be under the general direction of the Com mitteion Buildings and Grounds,the Committee on Janitors and Supplies, the Committee on Appara tus and Furniture, and the Superintendent, and who shall perform such other duties as shall he re quired of nimby the Board. In accordance with this resolution, the Chair constituted the Committee as follows: Messrs. Taft, Holden and Shcahan.

The market was accordingly a little less buoyant than it would have been, and the batchers very generally refused to pay any advance upon last week's prices, even for prime steers which were again scarce.
