Children, however, m hereto fore, are, for the greater part, (offerers b? fie knees, especially those who are undergoing, we mav say, the trial of their first or aeoond year of life. Parents know better than other people the descriptions of ailment to which they are subjected. The mortality, too, amon? that class of human beings is greater by far lhaa among adults. But this has always been, and doubtless ever will be, the ease, without to circumstances which cannot J* to well known to our citiiens, that since fhe appearance of the yellow ffcverin Ports mouth, Goeport, and Norfolk, several hundreds of the inhabitants of those places hare come hither to escape the effects of the pestilence ; but their presence in the midst of us occasions ? alarm that we can discover, nor should it. for before they left they were duly examined by physicians, and, too, underwent a similar process by officer? ef quarantine, and on each eeeasion received, severally, certificates of their healthy condition. If any deaths have ?centred among the visitors they are attribut able to causes other than yellow fever. After ?are/ul inquiry, we cannot discover that fatal ulte axe traceable to that source. Excrusioirs.?The first grand excursion and pie nic of the George Washington Club will take place to morrow?the scene of their fes tivities the White House. Scott's cotillon baud b?s been engaged, an announcement equivalent to saying, " Ladies and gentlemen, , you will have the best of musi-j ftr the erj'?y ment of danciag." The Club pledge them selves that no pains nor expense shall be spared to make this one of the best excursions of the season?a pledge which we believe they have the ability to redeem. And, en Thursday next, there is to be an excursion to Fort Washington and the White House, for the benefit of the Methodist Epis copal Church, Capitol Hill. A band of good music will be in attendance, but wo cannot promise there will be dancing, for the enter tainment is gotten up by church folks, whoso disciple does not sanction such diversions; but, oa the oontrary, forbids them to the membors of that denomination of Christians. We doubt not the excursion will bu of the most pleasant character, gratifying its patrons, while they will, in return for their enjoyment, be indi rectly contributing to a laudable religious en . tanrisa. The next on the list is that of the Franklin Fire Company, which will take plaoe to-mor row week (the 22i of August.) Tney, toe. will Mop at the White House pavilion to enjoy their pienie; and they ''pledge themselves that no trouble nor expense will be spaied to make this one of the m<?st plea-ant, gay, and recher che exsunions of the season."' A celebrated cotillon band has been engaged for the occa sion. The Franklin members always enter heart and soul into everything they undertake, whether a ball, a fire, or a picnic. They be long to the "go-ahead" independent order, of which all who are acquainted with their history know. Success to them in this their enterprise. The last, though not least, in the programme of pleasure excursions, is that of the American Riflemen to Piuey Point, on Thursday, tho 23d instant, the fine steamer Baltimore having been chartered to convey the party down; and to prevent a large crowd being in attendaitpe, the number of tickets has been limited. Good music has been engaged for the occasion; und, indeed, every arrangement has been entered into to make the trip both comfortable and pleasant. _____ A Good Examplx.?It is stated, and with out doubt truthfully, that 44 s^co the appear ance of yellow fever in Portsmouth, the Coun cil of that town has expended five thousand dollars for the sufferers, and their funds and reseuices are well nigh out." The citizons of iuchmond. and of other plaoes, we are grati fied to perceive, arc contributing of their sub stance for the relief of sufferers by the yellow fever in Portsmouth and Norfolk. In the lan guago of the Dispatch, " it is all-important ?hat which is to be done should bedonequick I'dthe lick are 3ufferiagfor the necessaries ot life, as well as for nurses, which can only be h "I at exorbitant prices." tv^r followin6 communication appeared in the National Intelligencer of this morning, ?etting a good example, which should find many imitators : To the Editors?Gentlemen : One whose ex perience has taught him the worth of friend ship m the hour of trial, sends you ten dollars tor the relief of those who suffer privation in the 41 infected region" of Norfolk and Ports mouth. Tours, with great respect, C. Washington, August 13, 1855. ? Sunn** Revebsb ? Last night, a party of tour young gentlemen, who were determined Mn *** mme fun?" Pnt on the habiliments of Cift. Whisky's army," and passed through the city in a carriage drawn by a aingio horse, laeir sport consisted in hallooing at different pla;es and persons. They moved along safely enough till on Thirteenth street, near C, where a new building is in process of erection. Thev commenced their shouts at the residents about there, but were checked suddenly by driving Into a large pile of bricks lying in the street. The horse was thrown and considerably in jured. The young gentlemen escapod with whole bones, but were awfully 44 cut down" by having to obtain assistance from the very per sons they were trying to tantalise. I vTEatSTi.No Addbbss.?Last night, a fel low, 44 pretty well in for it," w..s found in the market making a speech to a whisky flask, which he had placed on the bcnch in front of bun. He argued, that the fla--k waa ungrate ful. because, during the heat of the day, he had provided for it, and kept it lull, and then, at that late hour of the night, when he most wanted a drink, the flask refused to yield a single drop. He declared, with an oatti, that the flask deserved to have its neck broken and was about to inflict that punishment on the ungrateful bottle when he was seised by Officer Wollard, and confined in the guard house. He was disehargod this morning with a lecture from tho officer in charge. The little aeticlb used by the Auxiliary Guard to secure disorderly und dangerous persons, excites aotne curiosity among those who have never seen it. T?* a quiet k>^ker-on it is strange that desperate rowdies go to prison willingly with men whom they bate, and only making threats which are seldom notieed bv tae guard. It is all in that 44 little article;'' a small cord about twelve inches in lergth with a stick about two inches long at each end As soon as the guard finds that his pris oner is about to resist, hu seizes his arm, and I putting the cord around nis wrist turns the slicks until the cord is closely twisted to the skin The prisoner will go quietly then, as ?verr attempt at resistance causcs a sensation Mmilar to pulling the arm from the body. Tu* Cb.>tbk Market, thi.1 morning, was I superabundantly supplied with all the vege table and animal good things of life. In ma ny of the articles there waj a reduction of pnoea. as compered with those of the former m irket day. The average 44 asking" for twenty-five cents a peclL, and Irish potatoes the same. The array of cab bage was gratifyiug to the lovers of that de- i acription of vegetable, boiled, as well as the devatees of saur-kraut. The market uccomo- 1 datious are entirely too contracted. The wa gons of dealers extended as far westward as Eleventh street. ? PiLrebi.no.?Some person stole a pair of window shades recently from the establish ment of Mr. D. Moore, upholsterer. They were valued at five dollars. A lady went into Mr. Moore's establishment to purchase the ar ticles necessary to hang the shades, aad Mr. Mjore at once identified bis property. Upon tae case being examined into before Justice Goddard, it appeared that the shades Bad been purchased from a colored person for seventy five cents. The case was dismissed, Mr. Moore retaining his goods, and the purchaser losing the money the paid for the article*.

A 8roe*?TTow.?A correspondent asks. * Is it not t necessary, and would it not be a proper precaution for the city authorities here, to order quarantine regulation?, in relation to all vessels coming from Norfolk, New Orleans, and St. Thomas r' and rdds, "The security of the health of our city against the pestilence that is desolating Norfolk and Portsmouth, is the duty of thoee in authority, as far as they hare the means. The temporary interruption to business would be no consideration, com pared with the risk of introducing the fever by negldbt of all proper precautions?' We remark, that persons coming hither from the infected cities are quarantined at either Baltimore or Alexandria; and henoe there does not acem to be a necessity for smeh sani tary regulations as applicable to Washington. It would be proper, however, for the board of health and the ward physicians to pay especial attention to the subject to whieh reference is made, and, in conjunction with the city au thorities, to devise means for the removal of the cauaet?such as filthy streets and alleys? which never fail to invite the yellow fever, and other pestilences. Confidencb iv THi Coubt.?On Sunday night a female was taken to the guard house for keeping a disorderly house. She was or dered to give security for appcannoe at Court. She sent for her frionds, ana they oame, when she tried to induce them to "go her security." They were afraid to venture. Her last argu ment with one was that "if the jury finds me guilty, I know by experience that the Court will only sentence me to pay a small fine and I can go right out of Court." The argument was uo( strong enough, and the unfortunate madam was sent to jail. The corner stone of a now German Re formed Church, on Four-and-a-half street, be tween Maryland and Virginia avenues, in the Seventh Ward, was la:d yesterday afternoon. The Masonic fraternity performed the ceremo nies usual on such occasions Several ad dresses, in German and English, were de livered ; and the services generally were of an interesting character. T?b Black Swab will bo performed by the Kunkel Opera Troupe to-night, at Odd Fel lows' Hall. In addition to the usual variety of fun, burlesque, and melody, the song of Hans and Katarina, as sung by S. W. Glenn thirty nights in succession, in ?altiaore, will be tendered ou this occasion.

Maquire, President of Georgetown Col lege, Daniel Lynch, James Clark, and Shelly, will take (at Trinity Church) the last vows preparatory to becoming full member* of the order of Jesuits. Tho ccremonies will doubtless be not only solemn and impressive, but of a very interesting nature. Since the closing out of their stock of old wheat, Messrs. Boyce A Taylor have been ac tively engaged supplying their extensive flour ing mills with new machinery. The old water wheels have been substituted by new ones on a larger scale, and many other portions of the old machinery has been removed to make way for new of the most approved order. About the first of the ensuing week, they expect to cominenoe operations again. Our election, which comes off on Thursday, for one member of the Board of Aldermen, begins to aUract considerable attention. From the present st ite of feeling, we think that the vote pulled will be quite Urge. It is suffi ciently settled that. G. W. Beall will be the anti, and Judson Mitchell the Know Nothing candidates.

The Young Bachelors' Association, with their friends, spent yesterday at Arlington most pleasantly, dancing, swinging, ringing, and strolling. The whole party enjoyed them selves to the utmost. For awhile the rain operated as a damper upon the festivity, but soon the sun smiled out again and the tempo rary discomfiture was forgotten. Abe police authorities and some of our pea* pie seeui to be at loggerheads about the man agement of town affairs, and the morning pa pers teem with suggestions and raphes. The objectors think?in the papers?that there is I negitot, and the officials set out through the ' same organ, that the negleclPis on the part of those who do not inform the authorities of such matters as they desire to see attended to. The inoendiary attempts, on Satuiday night latt, which were unsuccessful, have created considerable excitement here. M0Gouneg.1l'* ' restaurant, on Cameron street; the oarpenter shop of Man kins Fadely, on Fairfax street, and a dwelling on Cameron street, were all tired; but by the vigilance of our night-watch every attempt whs toiled. This shows the fine working of our new district sy?tem. The camp-meeting of the Methodist ? Church, at Union camp-ground, eommences next Thursday. A large number of river craft came up yes terday, which, added to tho large vessels al ready here, give our harbor a fine appear unce.

A Sign.?Tho New York Courier and En quirer sjys: We learn that one cf the most prominent shipbuilders of this city was en gaged, about two weeks ago, in looking about lor timber to use in building a man-of-war for the Russian Government. Since that tiin-j he has suspsuded operations, and declines pur chasing timber tnat is offered to him. The contract under which the frigate was to be built required that the should be delivered at a Kussiju port. We are not informed whether the design has been abandoned by direction of i the Russian Government, or whether the con tractor, despairing of his ability to perform the clause in the contract above mentioned, has adopted this course to save himself from the loss resulting from having th& ship lying idle ; but iu either case, the fast that the worit has been suspended, aud perhaps altogether Abandoned, Is rifoifloant.

We are glad to learn that Dr. John N Schoolfleld, chairman of the Portsmouth sanitary committee, who has been undor treatment at the hospiial is getting bet ter." The report for the 24 hours ending at 2 p. m. on the lOlh shows 17 new cases and 4 deaths In the city, and 2 new cases and 7 deaths in the hospital. From Portsmouth we hare no official report, owing, no doubt, to the faot that the chairman of the sanitary committee is down with the fever. Flour ?The Richmond (Va.)

What a sermon might be written from that text! |y The number of snake stories in the pa pers this year is quite unparalleled The last we saw was in tho Trumbull Democrat, of the 28th nit., which said: " On last Tues day morning Mrs. Edwards, wife of William Edwards, living near Mercer, while making the bed in which her children had slept the previous night, found coiled up at the foot of it a very large black snake. He looked up a* though he had had a good night's rest, and when awakened showed some anxiety to get up. He was dispatched immediately. Real Life.?A letter from Paris says:? '?
