VENING STAR. NFCAL INTELLIGENCE. PSS Heactu or Wasn.xcton.—To-day wecon- .e our quotations from the annual report of the d of Health, made by Dr. Thomas Miller, its adent: With the exception of consumption and cholera potum, our bills of mortality present nothing phy of note. The diseases which have ever 9 Known to prevail on the barks o{ the Potomac, intermittent and bilious fever, and which many ago made sad havoc among our citizens, now, the city has become more densely ulated, pst but toa limited extent, and are seld.m fatal. ose diseases are now. ly confined to the wauzbs, and to those parts of the city where streets being opened, and other improvements being de. yur citizens have abundant cause for thankfulness their exemption from all epidemic and conta- diseases, while cholera and yellow fever have mmmited the most lamentable ravages in very jiny portions of our country. To the peculiar to- graphy of this locality, and to the judicious plan ihe city, so wisely provided with wide streets, uc of our healthtulness and freedom from epi- mics is due; at the same time we should not neg- ¢ to attribute a great deal to the proper clea ‘ing d liming of the streets and alleys by our efficient fpmmissioners. As one of the greatest difficulties in eping the streets and alleys clean, arises from the pacuice of throwing garbage aud kitchen slops into , it is desirable that the law in relation to slop- bs, Which-was some years since enacted upon the commendation of the Board of Health. may be gdly enforced, thereby obviating a fruithful source disease. if There is one other adjuvant to health required in ur city, and which, as the city increases in size population, will become absolutely necessary pr cleanliness and for the prevention of disease,— q mean an abundant supply of pure water. We ¢ too forcibly impress on you its advantages, Pe fnow extensively it will contribute to the preser- Lion of health, especially if combined with a pro- rly arranged system of underground drainage with ater traps. The experiment of one or lwo sewers, ranged with these traps, shows the advantages o1 hem. They should be applied to all the -ewers. The attention of the Bcard 0: Health has been oc- upied with the i nportance of daily markets in this uiy during the hot months of the year. This is a bject which, in the opinion of the Board, demands areful and serious comsideration, as the proposed neasure involves too many interests to be hastily srried into operation. it is in a sanitary peint of jew that we have considered it. ‘Phe necessity for perfectly fresh meats, vegetables and fruits, ig too pparent to need any argument, and these articles. » essenual to the preservation of health, cannot be properly supplied w.thout the establishment of a ly market. As conservators of the health of the city, the Board beg leave to cail your attention to the import- nce of regulating by law thesale of poisonous druge nd Of prohybiting their being dispensed, except on ine written prescription of a known and reputable bysician. ‘The number of cases of suicide which save occurred in this place within afew years past, and also of murder and attempts to murder by poi on, would seem to call imperatively for some re- jsrictive legislative enactment. On a former oceasion, we had the honor of call- sg your attention to the importance of establishing pest house. Although, for some years past, the secessity for such an ution has not been expe- oenced by our citizens, we should not theretore enclude that such will aways continue to be the ase. Believing it to be the wisest plan to be pre- pued for an evil, rather than to await its advent, sour attention is earnestly invited to the propriety of establi-hing such an institution. In concluding this report, the Board regret to state that the ordinance relative to the registration of mar nages and births is virtually null and void, nota sngle return of either having been made to the ‘ard within the past year. If the Councils concu ~th the Board in opinion as regards the importance of such a registration, it will be necessary to previde eh penalties for its non-observance as will give ect te the existing laws on the subject. PROCEEDINGS OF THE New Boarp or TrusTers or Pusiic Scnoots.—The new Beard of Trustees ‘ot Public Schools held themr first meeting m the City Hall Jast evening, Mr. S. H. Hill, acting Mayor, in the chair, all the members present, viz: Messrs. Polk, Bennett, Dickenson, Bacon, Lord, Magruder, Hanson, Dixon, Davis, At Lee, Knight, and Pear- son. Messrs. Abbot and Bacon, members of the late Board, were respectively appuinted secretary and ueusurer pre tem. Sundry bills we-e read and ordered to be paid. On motion by Mr. At Lee, the secretary was di- rected to have printed for regular diswibuuon by the teachers among the pup.Js, certificates showing, in- dividually, their attendance, deporument, application to study, &c.; and also to address a communication to the Mayor in relation to the assignment of a reo:n in the City Hall for the use of the Board, where all official papers may be kept in accordance with tb law of the Corporation on this subject. Li ‘The treasurer was directed wo procure school fur- niture as estumated for by the several late sub-boards, and for which an appropriation has been made by the Councils. The following standing committees were sppointed by the Chair, v.z: ‘Toexamine applicants for teachers—Messrs. Pear- » Polk, Davis, and M jer. On schoo! books—Messrs. AtLee, Bennett, Han- eon and Knight. Ou the ruies—Mesers. Bacon, Dickerson, Dixon, and Lord. ‘The following is a summary of the teachers’ re- ports received for the month of Uctober: Number of re ports received from teachers, 34—(no reports were received from two teachers in the ‘Third district and one in the Fourth ;) number of pupils in schovis, (three schools not reported,) on the last day of the month, 1,944; entered, 181; vithdrawn, 93; present every school day, 5595 cor poreaily punished, 80; number of scaool days in the month, 22; one day, the anniversary of the battle of Yorktown, given as a holiday.

Wasuixctos Mosument—Thanksziving Day.— The exp-nses of this structure for the month of ~ October have been $2,000 8&2. The contributions by visitors $218 10, which, with those of the mili- y, made on the 19th ult., of $319 79, make the whole receipts $537 89. ‘This is rather a retiection on the patriotism of the country, that the National Monument whichis being erected to its father and saviour, should be so imadequately encouraged. For the receipts io be only about one-hall of the ex- prises, 1s &@ muller Of astonishment. The people, societies, churches, tueatres, &c., &e., should at ocr devise weans for contributions to the work that wul at least pay the expenses as it rises gradually, but sublimely, towards the heavens. [tis suggested that Thank-giving day will afford a fine opportunity collect in churches, &c., something toward the grand biject. To whom, less than a kind Provi- dence, are we as much indwbted for the blessings we enjoy as George Washington? Let a portion of your thanksgiving, then, be a contribution to the obclisk Which ts w stand a memorial of the affections of the Peopie to his uuunortal name. —s New Civs.—Last eveuiog, a number of young gentlemen, residing im the Fifth and Sixth Wards, met in the Anacostia Hall, near the Navy Yard, and Organized a new association for their amusement \ and improvement. They adopted rules for their government, and elected officers for the first term. The name adopied is tue “Terpsichore Ciub.” It starts with a very fair roll of intelligent and respect- able members, and bids fatr to prosper. ‘I he fullow- ing is the list of officers elected: President, Marcel- jus Marceron; Vice President, Wm. Smvot; Secre lary, P. J. Ennis; Treasurer, Jas. R. Dobbyn. CLosine or THE Detver To-Nieut.—The last exhibiuon of Morgan’s Mirror of Creation and Deluge at Odd Fellows’ Hail, with the farewell con- cert by the Bind Vocalist, comes off this evening at > 7% o'clock. Meeting with approbation of a Wash- ington public generally, favored by tne Ministers and the Press, and persous of high official stations, it leaves behind a name for the artist and the mana- ger, that should they open weir new work now in progress, they could not iail of a generous reception. ludeed, what may come from George Hielge as an arust,or from Mr. Morgan as an exhibitionist, ac- Curding to their present populari y, success must at lead them in Washington. BmMatt Sates.—The New York Herald, Tribune, eng coher New York city p.pers, are called here now by the indefatigable newsmen and boys with but poor success. ‘They swarm the hotels, &c., with anmsiul of papers, but go away with the unpleasant Tealiganon of very small sales. Tavern Keersrs’. Movements.— The tavern keepers met at the Washington Light tnfantry Hall, last evening, and sat with closed doors. They will probably take out licenses, according to the public wf notice of the City Register, and should any interfer. ence be made with their business under the new jaws, will appeal to the criminal court. This is What we guess, not knowing anything of their pro- ceding or intentions, F: “Tar Orp Scnod, Paessrrettan’ Srxop—The Synod of Baltimore, now in session in F street Pres- byterian Church, have chosen the Rev. Dr. Harri- son, of Alexandria, an aged minister, as President, who, on Tuesday evening, delivered the opening discoyrse in a most fatherly manner. Rev. N.G. W ite, of Carlisle, was appointed Moderator. Fifty ministers and twenty-three elders are in attendance. They fixed the hours of session from 9 to 2 o’clock, 8. m., and from 4 to 6 o’clock, pe A recess 13 taken in the morning session at 11 o’clock for pub- lie worship. The Hon. Walter Laurie, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, yesterdiy addressed the Synod on the important subject im his c! . The dis- course was Very interesting to the is of the missions, making a most eboquent development of the affairs of the Board, in that connection. Messrs. Robertson, Eckert and Merritt, were ap- painted a committee to prepare a minute by which the cause of Foreign Missions will be thrown upon the: Spontaneous liberality of the Churches, ree employing agents to eollect and receive Rev. R. C. Galbraith, of Baltimore. and Rev. J. R. Graham of Winchester, were the temporary clerks, and the Rev. Thos. E. Peck, of Baltimore, the stated clerk. The Rev Dr. Cleghorn, of Philadelphia, preached Sasa morning at public service, and the Rev. ir. Foote, of Winchester, Va., preached yesterday evening. ‘This morning the Rey. Dr. Dabney, of the Theo- logical Coilege of Virginia, delivered a sermon on “ The Power of God,” a sublime theme, listened to by a remarkably attentive and absorbed auditory, Synodical prayer meeting will be held this even- ing. in the same church, and two addresses will be delivered by members of the Synod. No action had been taken this morning as to the time of adjournment. Chambersburg, Pa., has been chosen as the place of meeting of the next Synod, on the last Thurday of October, 1855. The Rev. Dr. Gurley, pastor of the chureh in which they meet, the Rev. Mr. Henry, and the whole coneregation, have been unremitting in at- tending to the comfort and convenience of the mem- bers of the Synod. ,_ They may, probably, close their labors this even- Ing or to-morrow morning, having nearly closed the important business for which they assembled. Tue ARBITRATION Case.—Mr. James Daly, an old and respected citizen, says that the statement We gave yesterday wants correction in regard to the salvage on the wood. _He offered Messrs. Day aud Ritter one dollar per cord for the wood, caught at and near his wharf, as was proven by the arbitra- tors. A full statement will be made after their de- cision. They have the final judgment in the case, are men of integrity and just principles, and there- fore the intricate case is safe in their hands with out going to the Circuit Court, as effected. Sons or TemPrRaNce ARousinc.—Northern Lib- erties’ Division will commence this evening a series of meetings in the Methodist Church South, on Eighth street, and will be addressed by the Rev. Drs. Peck and Clayton, and by A. F. Cunningham, Past Worthy Pawiarch. They are geing to discuss the recent liquor laws, and say that ley can demon- strate the fallacies of the tavern-keeper’s late me- morials to the Councils. Tue Usury Laws.—There has been something said about a memoral to Congress to repeal the usury laws of the District. Anactof the kind by Congress, coming from that concentrated focus of the senti- ments of the States, would have a powerful effect to abolish laws which are worse than useless, and should be struck from every statute book of the country. We trust that the citizens of the District will move energetically in the matter, and speedily accomplish their object. InpoTaBLe BuRLEsqve Trovre Comine.—The Julien Burlesque Opera Troupe, composed of twen- ty first rate p:rformers, are to open at Odd Fellows’ Hail on Wednesday evening next. They burlesque in amost admirable manner the Julien Concerts, Hutchinson Family airs, &c., and are said to give the most successful entertainmeats yet produced in their line, in the United States. Tue Presipenr on THE AvENUE.—President Pierce was observed, this morning, mounted on a fine steed, on the Avenue, and looking remarkably well, thus eontradicting the reports of some uf the papers. It was most gratifying to his fellow citizens and friends to see him appearing in public in such apparent fine health and spirits. ALapy’s Beav-Knor.—Recently was picked up im the Capitol Grounds, a beautiful green beau-knot, belonging to come lady, which has been left with “Items” to restore to the fair owner, if she will call. We respectful.y decline the honor, not wishing to be mixed up in any such suspicious matters. ALL Satrt’s Day.—Yesterday was celebrated tn hé Catholic Churches, in honor of all the Saints, and we hear thatthe Spiritual Retreat at St. Mary’s is well attended, and conducted so as to bring about the best results contemplated. The Rev. Fathe: de Neckere, President of the Seminary, and the Rev. Father Knocks:adt, are conducting the retreat most impressively. ARRANGING THE MopeLs.—Mesers. Shields, Jacobs, Lewis, Butler, and othcrs, have been work- ing hard for some time past, removing the models of the Patent Office up stairs, where they are regularly and conveniently arranged, and may now be said to be models of good taste and artistic display. ALEXANDRIA AND WasuINGTON Rattroap.—The necessary ameunt having been subscribed for this important improvement, a general meeting of the Stockholders will be held in this city next month. Agxivats at Bircu’s.--The watch house Regis- ter shows an unusual number of arrivals last evening. George Williams, Owerl Rennolds, John Finnon, Herman Typpucht, and George Wilson, all white, came in for lodgiogs, and after comfortable naps on soft planks, were dismissed this morning. George Munson, for disorderly conduct in the streets, fine aad costs. J Cropsey, lying drunk in the street, had a snooze for the night, and was dismissed th 's morn- ing. Peter Hamilton, George Thompson, Wilham Stuart, and Jolin Long, for breach of the peace, Were given accommodauous ina larger place—the jail.” George Echton, — Kelly, and Wim. Jones, were made to pzya bill of $6.44 each, for being profane and disorderly, Eliza Lee, tree colored, dis- orderly, paid the bail, John Harrison found drunk an the streets, had his night’s lodging, and was dis- missed. Thomas Radcliff, for disgracing the Centre Market by going there intoxicated, was required to pay up for nis beastliness. Lewis Harris, charged with larceny, was promoted to the big house kept by Capt. Smith, back of the City Hall. This is the longest list we have yet had to eopy from the re- cords of the polite and accommodating Capt. Birch. 82 PALPITATION OF THE HEART, Nervous diseases, Liver Complaint, Neuralgis, Dyspepsia, Costivencss and Piles, are all relieved and cured In an incredible short space of time, by Carter's Spaulsh Mixture, the great tonic atd purifier of the blood. It contains not a particle of Mercury, Opiuus, or any noxious drug ; is perfectly harmless, and has cured more than five hundred cases of disease. We can only refer the reader to the certificates, a few of which may be found in another column, and all of which sre detailed in full around the bottle. It is the greatest uf all Spring and Fall Medicines, and possesses an influence over the blood touly remarkable. 4° See advertisement.

BURROW’S ELIXIR VITA. Extracts from an editorial notice in the Portamouth, Va., Globe, July 13, 1854. ‘The Editor says: In this community this medicine scarce- ly requires a notice, it has been so often tested and its vir. tues so well Known from the niimerous cases of its success- ful use, that it is sold now just as readily without prescri tion or recommendation for the diseases for which It te te. commended, as quinine is for chilis. In the local column of the Norfolk Daily Courter, the Rdi- tor in speaking of this preparation says: It is certainly a great medicine, and within our own knowledge has restored those who were considered beyond all human aid.
