To say that we were pleased, nay delighted, with the rtaidings, would not give our readers the faintest cine to our feelings ; there was but one universal expression of the audience, and that was, "well done, Mr. Burnett." He gives bis second nnd last entertainment to-night, repeating his greatest of parts, "The Maniac." All who want a good laugh, varied with something of the pathetic and sentimental, should go nhd hear Mr. Burnett. . BitiyTho Louisville Journal ha3 Wen enlarged nnd put iu a new dress.

Accommodations at Chicago. A meeting of former citizens of Indiana, uow resident in Chicago, was held there on the 27th ult.,forthe purpose of providing accommodations for the Indiana delegates to the Chicago convention, and other citizens of tbe State attending that gathering. An adjourned meeting was held on the 29th. A committee reported "that, it bad engaged a sufficient number of adjoining rooms for the delegates at the Revere House, iu all respects one of the best hotels of the city, and at prices not to exceed two dollars aud

a half per day. This action of tbe corn- j mittee was approved by the meeting." j A eoiiiinittee was appointed to engage,' as I far as possible, accommodations for such other citizens of Indiana attending the Convention as may, by previous comuiunication with the committee, direct the same. Persons in Indiana, not delegates, ishing the services of the committee in engaging quarters, bad belter address C. P. J. Arion, the Chairman. ' The committee u ill also, at the time of the Convention, meet Iiidiauians at the Revere lloue, and direct them lo the places secured. Cylii addition to the appointments for Col. HeskvS.

SKtf The Enquirer ia preparing to give Douglas the "cold shoulder;" to crawfish from its recent warm advocacy of his nomination ; to tako whoever is nominated at Charleston ; to endorse Dred Scottism, a slave code, the slave trade, or whatever else ia put into the Charleston platform in short, to go the entire and undivided swine. Witness the leading articles iu Saturday's paper. tKtf" Mr. Green. Russell, of Russell's Diggings, Pike s Peak, with a force of fifty men, has been employed by the council ol" Leavenworth to survey tin air line road to Denver City via Fort Riley and Smoky Hill Fork, which is said to be 150 miles shorter than any other. The company have already commenced operations and will proceed with the work as fast as jiossible. fi!r3yWe clip from an eastern paper the following surmise in regard to the nomination of Geu. Jo. Lane lo the Presidency. Whether the General could thus be made a tool, for the benefit of soulless speculators, we do nut pretend to know. For the credit of the American name, we should hope not : We are told that the nomination of Gen. Joe Lane at Charleston is urged mainly by the holders of the Oregon war debt, who have bought up the scrip at ten ceuls on the dollar. It is stated iu The LeaJrr that "as the alleged debt amounts to more than $C,000,000, aud .as Gen. Lane, if elected President, would of course favor its payment, we have here an inducement of very solid proportions for tbe support of that candidate, and the expenditure of a large sum of money to secure bis nomination. In other words, should Lane b elected, these speculators would receive $6,000,000 for a debt bought up for $600,000." BSaSThe British schooner Alice Rojers, of St. Jobus, N. B., from Montigo bay, Jamaica, bound to Philadelphia, with sugar and dyewood, is at Norfolk. Capt. Bradley offered to sell, in Hampton Roads, two free negroes, whereupon he was arrested and the vessel taken in charge by the authorities. Bg,Sanboru, lately arrested at Bostou by a deputy of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the V. S. Senate, to testify before the Harer's Ferry Committee, was discharged by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts ou the ground that the Scargeant-at-.-rins cannot appoint a deputy out of the District of Columbia. 83?" The ludianapolis Journal says that the Administration Democrats of this Slate will not share the tent that the Douglas men propose to take to Charleston, but intend to take more aristocratic quarters, which have beeu already engaged. We suppose they don't want to be e.Uicd " squatters." A Query for the Docci.as Men Why is it that iu all tbe recent election iu this district the candidates especially prominent as supporters of Douglas have beeti worse beaten than any others? Last fall Judge Wick, air ardent friend of Mr. Douglas, ran several hundred votes below Martiu M. Kay in thece of the counties composing the district, and last Monday Mr. Coition, a vry estimable and intelligent gentleman, bm strongly and notoriously attached to Mr. Douglas's fortunes, was beaten nearly 000 votes, whilst the average majority against the Democratic ticket was less than 300. There is something a little queer in these reiterated results, and we would like some Douglas man to explain the mystery. Ian. Jour. The mystery about tbe matter is though our Douglas friends won't acknowledge it for fear of injuring "the party" the Admiuistratiouists proscribe the Douglasltes wheuever they can get tbe opportuuity. If Douglas lie nominated at Charleston, thousands of theee men will silently "scratch " him.

Council Proceeding. Cot NCiL CHAMuEU, "I V. April 7, 18b0. 1 j Council met. The following gentlemen ling present, were sworn in by the Mayor, and took their seats. Messrs.

The., bill pf Oakley & Son 1 for damages sustained by tbe Washington Engine at a late fire, amounting ta$10, was referred to tbe proper Committee when appointed.

Mr, Sjierwood's bill for work done on the wharf iu 1869 was referred to -Messrs. Chandler & Decker. A cash order was directed to be drawn to meet the note on the Steam Engine. Judge Hall's claim for taxe9 erroneously charged'1 him "and others', - amounting to S30G 39, was allowed. The bond oHSoren" Sorenson, Treasurer elect, in $35,000, was accepted. The bond of John Henson, , Assessor elect, was accepted. William Emrich was granted permission to transfer his lease of btitcher'a stall to Mr. Fenehler.

The bond of the Wharf Master was laid over for the present. The wharf master presented hi3 report for the month ot Match which was received and filed. The report states Chat" during the month 345 steamboats landed, 19 passed without landing and, 18 touched without cabling. ' The whole amount paid for wharfage during tbemonth was $051 K3. The report of the Street Commissioner, showing the depth of water in the public cisterns, was read. ,.The report of . the chief fire Engineer was read and ordered to be filed. The owners of lots on Oak street, bordering on 'he Ohio river, ctitioned that the culvert on Oak street be extended 100 feet further towards the rivr. The petition was referred . to Messrs. Foster and Roelker. Chris. Young was allowed $1 00 for fixing cistern top. It was ordered that ten of the ordinances regulating the markets be framed in good substantial frames. Messrs. Bischman and Reitz were appointed a committee to inquire into certain changes that are asked to be made iu the lower market, and report to the Council. Th Mayor und Councilman Sailers were appointed a com mi tie to examine the Collector's final settlement. . . The seston of Oak Hill Cemetery' reported the number of interments for the mouth of March to be 18. Au ordinance amendatory to the ordinance regulating the assessment of taxes was passed, under a suspension of the rules. The Mayor and Councilman Roelker were appoiuled a committee to have the gutters, leading to the eyelets to the sejver ou Third street, properly tuade. The Street Commissioner whs directed to have bridges across the ravine on Eighthstreet repaired. On motion the Council adjourned. The President's Protest. It is considered somewhat remarkable that the President never protested against the scope of the investigation by the House until he read llie testimony given before Messrs Haskin's and Covode's Committees. All the evidence thus far which, in any way, implicates him with a privity to the use of money iu elections, and the distribution of patronage with that object, was reluctantly extorted from hi3 own political friends, and from persona who enjoy his confidence and intimacy. Some of them have openly boasted of not telling half they knew, aud others testified with menial reservations. The cbarges made by the Administration organs, that Mr. Covode's Committee were investigating without specific aim, are false. Thus far they have addressed themselves exel isively to the allegations contained in tbe President's Pittsburgh letter, aud find them fully sustained by the corruptions of bis own Administration. Anonymous letters have been addressed to Mr. Covode, threatening him and Mr. Sherman with assassination, utile's they desist from these inquiries. The Republicans baveshown their appreciation of the President's Message by circulating a large edition iu Connecticut and hhode Island. CursesjtonJcnce of the JTeic York Tribune. 8.The Democrat wishes us to be more explicit in pointing out the error it has fallen into when it says the Green ami Barren river improvement is not self-sustaining. On paoe 34 of the last Internal Improvement Repor', it will bo seen that the total amount of receipts from 184G to October 10th, 1859, was $208,893 15, while the expenditures were $188,487 58, leaving a total net revenue of $2O,40.r 57. In five years only, out of this period of twenty years, have the expens exceeded the revenues. In 1S57-8, in consequence of the Rumsey dam break, the receipts fell short of the expenditures, and there is now au indebtedness lieyeind resources of $0,948 3G; but, as the average annual receipts have been over $10,000, nnd as nothing is to be paid this fiscal year but salaries unless some extraordinary repairs should again become necessary, that indebtedness will be liquidated, and therefore the works are self-sustaining. Zou. Jour. Criy A bill has passed both Houses of the Virginia Legislature authoriziug the construction of two railroad bridges across the Ohio river one at Wheeling, to be within the corporate limits of the city, and the other at Holliday'sCove.

The cargo of the brig, and previous connection with some of the parties of the WiiiuLrer'a slave expedition, create misgivings as to her true character. The Pacific Railroad committee is vacillating as to the bill to be reported. Yesterday, one . proposition was madey 'to designate widen puss of (he mountains, it should cross, anil another requiring it to run by Salt Lake City. This will be voted down. The committee assembles to-morrow for final action. Mr. Aldrich of Minnesota has advocated the proposition to uthorize the construction of three macs, leaving capital to seek the best route, lie believes that a bill providing for only one will be defeated, yet he is aiming to seeure the best bill possible, on the basis determined on by the committee. Th1! Telegraph company will accept the bill as amended by the House, though they consider it as hardly fair to limit messages to California to $3.

The California telegraph line via the Butterfield Overland Mail Route, whs extended to Springfield, Mo., 18 miles beyond Meloy's Station, yesterday, and a large force of men is at work pushing it forward to Fort Smith, on the South-western borders of Arkansas. ; ,, . Advices from California: by the last mail state that the Hue of that State is being rapidly extended this way. It is expected it will reach Los Angeios by ttie firgt of July, thence to Fort Yuma it will be built withall possible speed. With telegraphic communication with Fort Smith ou this side and Los Angeios on the other, it will be very easy for the mail company to reduce the time letween New York and San Francisco to 10 days, as the route between tbe first named points will adjiit of very rapid traveling.

Advices from Vera Cruz slate that the Juarez forces were so near out of powder, that bad Sliralnon remained longer, he would have succeeded in capturing the city on the evening of the 23rd.

The steamer Canadian, from Liverpool on the 21st, vi Queeaiswwii on the 22d, arrived at twelve o'clock Inst night. " ""i"""""i Voia thr, Cincinnati vice Curreid, April 4. It it slues Summary for t lie Past Week. The spring business, in all departments, continues active, and the quantity of goods of all kinds going into the interior is very large. There is a marked increase in (he quantity of Iron going out of the cily, as compared "with last year. Farmers have, been especially ,, favored, this spring, by weather peculiarly adapted to getting in spring crops iu the best possible) condition, mid, so far, the prospects of gltod crjps,.jiro favorable. Cornplfliuts . regarding the winter killing of wheat reach ns from euiue sections, but, generally speaking, there is ample stock left to muku n good crop, should the remainder of the season be favorable. Flour continues to drag on as usual. Very little doing iu what is called superfine, as the city dealers generally buy extra, because that classed superfine is of too low a grade for city use. Choice brands extra white wheat command 5 80 to $5 85. Corn has been iugood supply, and shelled has declined to 4(Jc, there being very little demand for it. Large receipts of Oats and a falling oil' iu the export demand led to a further decline, and at the close 44c was the outside quotation for primeiti bulk. There has been a pressing demand for Barley, and prices further materially advanced, closing at 95c for prime, and the tendeucy strongly towards higher prices. Whisky ruled at 18jc throughout the week. ... In Provisions, price3 have ruled a shade higher. 7c, 9 go 1104 10J is the price for bacon shoulders, sides aud clear sides. Bulk meats have been held at tie for shoulders, and 8A(V 8c for sides. The price of Lard was pul uji by owners lo lOAc and 11 Jc for tierce aud keg. The deinaud from consu mers is good, but purchases are made cautiously. For Mess X'ork $ 7.25 is the ruling rate. The quantity consumed is large, and the stock is being rapidly reduced. Holders are indifferent alaut selling. The stock of barreled Pork on hand in .New York and New Orleans on the 1st inst., was 87,145 bbls. Last year at the same time it was 1 24,972 bbls. Prices of Sugar and Molasses further improved during the week, though the former can bardly be called higher, but molasses is fully 1c. better. The receipts of sugar at New York are very large from the West Indies, which depresses that market. The stocks of all kinds of sugar in that market on the first inst., are larger . this year than last. We find, on the other band, that the stock of molasses is very light and far. below that of last year. The Cofi'ee market is firm, with a yery fight stock, and that now arriving costs 14i laid down here, so that a further advance seems inevitable. The receipts of Potatoes continue uncommonly large, being 13,308 brls during J.he week, swelling the total imports for the season to over 14C.O00 brli, being alxmt 4 f .- 000 brls iu excess of the importation last season. For Eastern Exchange, dealers sell at J, prcm. Not much doing in" New Orleans sight. Gold is inactive.
