The Association is ot present in a crippled condition, and on earnest ap? peal is mads to its friends to come forward and as? sist '. it. By tho payment of $2 an annual member? ship is secured, and all who entertain kindly feel? ings toward the Society, are requested to enroll themselves as members. CIBCULAE. CHURCH.-The few remaining mem? bers of this corporation, desirous of preserving their identity OB a church, united some time since in bunding a lecture Boom, where they could worship again in one body . This Lecture Boom has been completed for some time, and is amply sufficient to accommodate tho congregation, being seventy ??e*'fong' , and t^^ty-six broad, and con? taining" th?ty^ix ' pews., .'?t was built under the supervision bf Mr. C. W; STYLES,'the contractor, and the workmanship is worthy of all praise. Tho Rev. W. JL ADAMS has accepted a call to this church, and it will be dedicated to the wor? ship pf the Most High to-morrow. Mr. ADAMS is a Northerner by birth, but has lived in-the South, and graduated at a Southern: Theologies! Semina? ry, and brings with him unexceptional. references as to capability, standing, Acc. Wo trust that he may bo enabled by his influence and teaching to collect the congregation, and ultimately to rebuild the church. MAYOR'S COURT, February 8_A. Ciuiningham, a colored carter, who is more fond of wetting his whistle than watering his horse, and who, under this pleasant way of passing his time, got disor? derly and slightly riotous, was fined S3. An indi vidual who was trying to dispose of two copper pumps, which he said he bought some eight months ago, was examined, and the Mayor decided to discharge him but to detain the pumps. A young mon, who had an altercation with the doorkeeper of a ball-room, in which a blow was passed, was fined $10. Five young men, who were reported as noisy and riotous at the samo entertainment, were also made to pay $5 each. U. 8. COURT-in Admiralty.-Hon. GEO. S. BET?

CAMPBELL & SEABROOK, proctors for libellants, that the appeal bond be entered into before tho Clerk of the Court by 12 M. to-day. liiPEO VEMENTS . -:In ao cor dan c o .with ' rea hint ions passed by the City Council, the workmen, under the direction of tho Committee, have been lately engaged in improving the publie grounds. This is particularly noticeable in the Upper Wards, for the Moll had degenerated into an unenclosed com? mon, liable to the depredations of the numerous cows who are to bo found in that section. It is the intention of the authorities to reclaim this square if possible, and they design fencing it in, furnishing it with scats, setting out trees, and effecting a general change. The first steps to? ward this have been taken, and the laborers were employed yesterday in digging np some of the trees in Aiken's Square, in order to transplant them to the Mall. Aiken's Square was, perhaps, the only public park that did not suffer during the war, being surrounded by a strong iron fence that kept cattle at defiance, and the trees, shrubbery, &c., grew up vigorously. The removal of some of these trees will.not..affect che'appearance of this square, and being already grown, they will add greatly to the looks of the Mall. It would have been, perhaps, a wiser policy to enclose tho. Mall before' these trees were trans? planted, for it is a place ''where cattle love to roam," and they ar? not particular whose trees they bark. But any innovation upon its present forlorn and muddy state will bo appreciated by all. who live in that vicinity; and planting trees is a eure index that other improvements will soon follow, and the Mall be again a pleasant resort in? stead of a dreary waste. It is, next to the Battery, the largest Park in tho city, and will repay any at? tention bestowed upon it by encouraging a spirit of ?mulation in the citizens, who will never allow the Conscript Fathers to beautify their property without endeavoring to rival them, and the result will be that the northeast section will soon blossom as a rose. HALF MOON BATTERY_There are few places in the city more neglected than this spot. Chosen in both Revolutions as the proper location for a battery, it has historical associations that should have been preserved from decay, but the turf has crumbled away, the symmetry of the work is de? stroyed, and it is now but an unsightly mound of earth. The works cover a large area that can b made available for public service, for by levelling the mounds a neat park could be formed that would he a great advantage to that section. ' The Northeastern Railroad runs but a short dis? tance from this spot, and the marsh intersecting could easily be filled np and made solid land. The Battery being on high ground, by levelling it an enormous quantity of earth conld be obtained, of itself almost sufficient for this purpose. This section of the city has been gradually improved by tho property owners until the houses are now among tho finest in the city, and a park well laid ont would add greatly to its appearance besides enhance the valuo of tho real estate in the neighborhood. Our city is very barren of large breathing spaces, and every waste plebe ?f land Eke the Half-moon Battery should be made available and transformed Into a park or sobare. They not only add beauty to the city, but induce private parties gradually to improve their property, until the poet's dream of ?A thing of beauty is a joy forever," shall be found no vain assertion. Besides the Half-moon Bat? tery, there is one on Tucker's Point that is in the same condition, useless as an ornament/and o?jy valuable for the earth it contains. By applying thia earth to tho jmrpoacs mentionod above, the city would remove , an r nnsightiy obstacle that is now of no possible use, and convert a piece of waste land into a garden spot. The experiment is worth trying, for a successful result is certain. Lucrrra.-ia ref erring' to this sulphureous in? dividual wo do not wish to shock the sensibilities of our readers, nor lead thom to imagine that wo deal with familiar spirits, hut simply to state facts connected with that august personage A print? ing office has boen popularly supposed to be inha? bited by inky demons who ply their trade whon I thc world is wrapped in slumber; in som? respects ! this is correct, for we, i.e., tho. writists, aro often grievously tormented by a deviL This imp plies continually between tho composing room and tho sanctum, and when (as is orton tho case with yo local) tho brain is in a whirl, studying how to make something out of nothing; "at once there comes so wild a scream 'Within that dork and narrow room. As all tho fiends from heaven that fell Had pealed tho banner cry of Holl." And shouted in one loud chorus-"copy." An interruption of this dosoription is sufficient | to send ideas that were before vague at once to tho | fljnd who is thus vociferating. But notwith? standing the odium attached to his name, a dovil ' is an important character, and is a very useful in? stitution in his way. Although not always -a fino on individual os the hero of the Miltonian tableaux, he is by no means a sooty personage; indeed, on certain occasions, we havo eoen a greon devil whose verdancy was refreshing, and reminded us forcibly of spring. This peculiar characteristic is attribut? able to their rocent importation from the rural parts, and their actions at this stago aro often sufficient ly amusing to excite tho risibilities of tho older and better posted fiends. Wo aro informed in the Scriptures that the dovil was exceeding subtile, and this assertion is substantiated by the conduct of their lineal descendants, who axe no sooner established in their domains than they emerge from their ohrysalis state and become tormenting fiends and experts in all deviltry. It is perhaps somewhat singular to apologize for the devil, but after exhibiting his evil disposition, a few words of praise can do no harm. Ho is a I valuable adjunct of the press, and hos been con? nected with it since the days of FAUST. Resembling | the owl in his disposition, he prefers tho darkness to tho light, and is solde-, a seen during the day; but when tho stars begin to twinkle he is in his clement and rushes to and fro with begrimed I bands and inky face, an able representativo of Old j Hornio. All the mischief done is laid to the devil, md his unfortunate cognomen is frequently tho sauso of bringing him into trouble. His long ap? prenticeship abounds in hardships; he tries to :orreot mistakes and ?s frequently knocked into pi himself for exhibiting his good intentions. IVith all his faults he is, however, a necessary )vil, and we paf? j ila imperfections by with he knowledge that as time ..dvances ho will grow n grace until evon his fiendish name shall bc for? gotten. THE HANLON TBOCTE_The performance last light was decidedly tho best of the soason. Tho Feather was propitious, and tho hall was densely xowded long before the appointed hour, oven randing room being quite scarce. Signoreta ?osrrA delighted the audience with her graceful icting, and showed, in her tight-rope perfor nance, that she was an experienced danseuse, and ully deserved the complimentary notices she had received in other citios. The great feature of the evening was tho three ?.ymnasta and their unaccountable and indescrib? ible manouvres. Every law of nature is violated >y them with impunity. Attraction of gravitation loos not affect their movements in the least, end hoy fly through tho air as if gifted with super intural powers. Their celebrated feat called "A ..cap for Life," is a perfect miracle, and how it can ie accomplished by mortals is astonishing.* Pos essing a thorough control over their entire bodies, hey are able to move them at will, and thus por- j arm actions that none but accomplished acrobats rould dare to undertake. The Juggler is a marvel of skill and dexterity; ie manoeuvres his hands and feet with such rapid- j ty that his movements are imperceptible. Being horonghly conversant with his art, he can per orm miracles and work wonders, and never fails o secure tho wrapt attention of th* audience. Of I be canines and Monsieur Jocko it is scarcely ne cssary to speak; they understand their role and 1 erform it thoroughly. They are rare instances of I be result of a good education, and are always ap- | reciatod by any intelligent community. Tho pan 3mime was as mirth-provoking as ever, and the ic?ity with which the shadows disappeared, as ended and descended, elicited prolonged ap- j lause. It must be borne in mind that this is positively be last day, and the matinee this afternoon and be closing performance to-night ore the only nances left for visitors.
