The Presidents Message was read before the
two Houses Of the National Legislature at
noon to-day, and was probably in an hour af-
terwards printed and for sale in the streets of
the Monumental City, so marvellous is the ex-
petition with winch steam power impels the
cars and the newspaper presses in their eager
ness to give the earliest intelligence.


The cheualierS d'induStrie, whose exploits and
demonstrations in this Metropolitan City, an
ticipated in my communication of yesterday,
commenced operations here last night or early
this morning in earnest, In Two instances
which have come TO my notice within the last
six hours, the audacious and adroit burglars
made successful demonstration. Mr. James,
who resides not far from the White House, was
robbed of several silver table and tea spoons;
Mr., Smith, clerk in the Land Office, who
resides near Franklin Row, was also robbed of
several silver spoons, and other articles Of va
lue. The burglars managed to open the win
dows in the back part of these dwellings, with
proper tools, so as to make very little noise
they were, nevertheless, overheard by some
part of the families, who, however, did not
make the proper exertions to secure the rob-
bers, as it was thought they would hardly be
so impudent as to continue their depredatons
until nearly o'clock in the morning. Other
minor depredations have been committed in
this city within the last few days.
