Tne 1st Vice President of the Society Judge Willam Crancb, mi eminent uist, distinguished as a just and impartial magistrate, and for the purity of his ltle. In 1-17 the aggregate of co lections and accumulated interest beifig the Society felt in beginning the erection of the monument. The site selected was the public reservation numbered 3 on the plan of the city ot aibiagton, contaimug upwards of thirty aires, near the Potomac river, directly west of the Capitol, and south of the President's licuse. It presents a beautiful view of the Potomac; is so elevated that the monument can te seen from ail parts of the city and the surrounding country, and being a public reservation, Is safe from any future obstruction of the view.

A plan for the monument was adopted, after vide consultation with experienced and juutciouB experts, and a careful comparison of the various plans submitted, as well with each c'liw as with an ideal standard of excellence. The one selected proposed an obelisk 517 teet high, and a pantheon or base. The obelisk was estimated to cost and the wnole work, jLCluding obelisk and pantheon, 91,123,000.

Subsequently Captain Heed and Officer daysman arrested Lilly, Clagett, and a man named Henry Beasely, and took them belore Justice Mersell, at the Central Guardhouse, wben the following facts were elicited: A short time since Lilly some money at a gambling table, and Sat.

urday evening, while intoxicated, went to the locality named and threatened to have satistac'ion Clagett, in trying to pacify him, was struck in the face by Lilly, who then stepped back, and drawing his revolver, pointed it at Clagett; but one of his friends seized his arms from behind, and while in that position Lilly was set upon and badly beaten; and iu the melee the pistol went off. witb the result above stated. Several witnesses were examined on both aides, out no direct testimony that tbe shot waf intentional could be given. Justice Morsell held Clagett and Beasely in $500 bail for an appearance at court, and Lilly, iu default of bail, was looked up until today, when he will be sent to tbe District jail. The Tkmpxhancs a number of temperance meetings were held in various sections of the city.

One at the Northern Market was under the auspices of the Washingtonlans. where Mr. J. s. HolllngsHead presided, and addresses were delivered by Messrs.

Hope Division, No. 10, held a meeting at Island Hall, at which J. L. Kldwell, H. B.

Laoy and others delivered addresses. At each of these meetings numbers took the pledge, and the temperance men can safely assert that each successive Sunday some good is done. present season Is tbe mostfruitful, particularly la peaches, that has been known for many years. A gentleman who is extensively engaged iu raising frnlt near the Potomac, six miles from Washington, remarked on Saturday that his crop of peaches Was over abundant; tbat be was bringing them to market as rapidly as possible; but, notwithstanding ail bis efforts, hundreds of bushels were rotting on the gronod. He was then disposing of them by wholesale at SI 425 per on Saturday for ehoice fruit of the peach kind was 60 cents to per As the peach season will last onfy about two weeks longer, those who have a taste for this delicious fruit will do well to improve the present Opportunity of supplying themselves.

Mr. Compston, pastor of Bethesda chapel, near RockTille, Maryland, and was collected by him while a missionary in some foreign land.

It is about the size of a half eagle, remarkably fresh looking, the inner side of which is concave, with a chariot, having seated In it a skeleton Image pointing ahead with a rapier; and drawn by two spirited horses. The outer side bears an elaborate profile of a female with her hair decorated in ibe manner worn by the crowned heads at the time the coin was issued, (twenty-two hundred years ago.) Its weight is five and a balf pennyweights, or, as near as ma? be in value, worth about five dollars. The coin was at one time in the possession of Rev. W. Eddy; missionary in Assyric, who thua describes how he came in possession of it: "A coin of Phillip of Macedon, father of Alexandria the Great, who reigned about three hundred and forty years before Christ, and consequently is twenty-two hundred years old, was found in a garden adjoining Sidon, Syria, among the mine of the ancient city.

Two iars, containing coins of Philip and Alexander, were found in tbe ground by workmen digging, and the contents divided among them The Turkish Government claim all such treasures, and hearing of tbe discovery, imprisoned all the workmen until they gave up nearly all the coins. These they Immediately melted up lor new coinage. A Mahommedan women who was with the workmen obtained some of the coins, and wearied out the Government by her endurance of Imprisonment while denying the possession of any of the treasures. After her release I obtained this coin, with much difficulty, from her, through her fear of another arrest." Some time since this coin was deposited with Mr. C.

Brown, a jeweler, at Saratoga Who was offered, by a well-known antiquari' an, tfie sum of twelve hundred dollars, but being instructed not to part with it at any price, the oiler was rejected Thk Fourth Pbbsbytbrian Chfrch Rev. Dr. John C. Smith, of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, yesterday preaohed his twentyeighth anniversary sermon before a very large congregation, bis text being from the 7th verse, l'2th chapter of ministry; let us wait on our ministering, or he that teaoheth on teaching." In the course of his sermon, Dr Smith alluded to the fact that of the five men and eighteen women on the original roll of members of the church but three remained? Patrick Crowiey, Catherine Wilson and Polly Robinson.

Besides those three, there were 337 on the roll when Dr. Smith took charge of the congregation, and of that number there were now living nine men and thirty-one women. There aie now50Ccommunicants, 5'23of whom are members of the church. During the past year torty-one new members have been received, eight have died, and fifteen been dismissed. There were twenty-six marriages, and tbe baptism of ten adults and twelve infants.

The average gain ef membership during; the last twenty-eigbt years has been 3a 4-7. During the time Dr. Smith has had charge of this church he ba3 attended the funerals of three Presidents, and ex-President John Q. Adams, and also the funerals ef a large number of distinguished statesmen. DErAKTURB OP a Saturday night there was considerable excitement in the neighborhood of Adams' Express Office, because of the sudden departure from the city of Mr.

T. D. Bancroft, a grocer at No. Pennsylvania avenue, who took with him two children. sged 4 and 6 years.

It anpears that several days since Mr. Bancrofts wife left tor Baltimore, taking an infant child with her and intended to remain there several days, but to leaving there was some disagreement between herself and husband. Saturday njf.rning Mr. Bancroft commenced selling his goods at greatly reduced ratps, and. in consequence, he had, during the day, an unprecedented run of custom, which he continued to supply until night, when about half the iroods having been sold he ceased, and taking his two children (cne by a former marr.age) left the city, his store being left in charge ot a boy.

The wife was telegraphed for, and arrived last evenirg, when she was greatly distressed at being deserted, and soon quite a large crown gathered about the Dlace expressing sympathy for her. Friends of the familv are doing all they can to find the wherebodts of Bancroft, and the telegraph has been brought into requisition for that purpose.

Oapt. Bullin's train, ilue here at 5.50 last evening, was fairly besieged by a crowd from the meeting, who took possession of the cars, and until the train reached Biadensburg the white passengers enjoyed the fine singing ot some of the peculiar spiritual songs ot the colored Methoduts. Mr. Du Wolf, formerly in charge of the churches at Elkridge Landing, Cut, and other places In Anne Arundel county, Md and the recently appointed assistant pastor of St.
