BYENING STAR, —ocaL INTELLIGENCE. cocusta CouRSE —A trotting match for 559 took place over this course yesterday. = contest was between Henry Birch ss. bh. fingion and George Nelson’s b. h. Beppo. a former was driven by Henry Birch, and » iatter by Doty. The distance was one = andrepeat. The attendance was not very mis, put the scone was somewhat animated the presence of a carriage full of ladies. jington was the favorite at starting, yet a = pets were obtained on Beppo. e@ can- - ak favorably of the time made on asion, Which will be seen below; but be accounted for by the track being d at gome points on the back strete! re was nearly six inches of sand. At the pe inted time of half-past two o'clock, in- spe of one precisely, as advertised, the a appeared, when Arlington, by lot, ob- tained choice of track. First Heat —A good start, Beppo taking the lead. As they went up the back stretch, Ar- lington closed on Beppo, and on reaching the uarter mile they appeared as if they were hitehed together, which continued for some distance. On passin the half mile Beppo got ahead, and kept the lead to the judge’s stand, coming in two lengths ahead. Time—First uarier mile, 0:48; half mile, 1:42; one mile, pol this o¢e) this may peavy, 30! Second Heat —A false start was made, after which they got off iogether, Beppo again taking the lead: but before they reached the garter mile Arlington shot ahead, and kept i lead home, winning Beppo seve.al times tinto a ran, but could not reach his oppo- nent. Time—First quarter, 0:47: half, 1:393; Hi 7. ited Heat.—This may be considered as a tition of the second heat. Arlington led f and despite the efforts of the driver of Beppo, who put him into a gallop several times, he never once approached the other horse, which came in 2 considerable ahead. Time—First quarter, 0:49; half, 1:40; mile, arom inform us that as soon as this race was decided, a proposition was made to trot inst Ariington. the winning horse, by the owner of a horse named Dandy, which was ac- cepted by Arlingten’s owner, notwithstanding hehad already trotted three heats. It was decidedly the best contested race that ever game off on thecourse, and was won by Arling- ton in three heats—one being won by ene 1 212 9 This was considered capital time—the track being heavy, besides Arlington had, as stated above, made three heats in the first race, making his performance of six miles without any apparent distress, and so fresh did he pull up that we are inclined to think, if he had been kept trotting six miles more, he would have finished in three n ihutes Tae Kisser Expepitiox.—The Weshing- ton correepondent of the Sun says: During the last fortnight or three weeks a number of our young citizens have enrolled themselves for an expedition to San Juan del Norte. They assume the character of seitlers or colonists; each pay an initiation fee of ten dollars, which is to be deposited in bank for supplies, and can only be drawn upon the sig- nature of all the officers ‘The term of service Stipulated is one year; their remuneration is stated at $25 a month or “ bonds of the gov- ernment,”’ avd 640 acres of land. (The rank of Major 1280 acres.) Each member is to be armed and equipped for hard service. The officers are Joseph P. Shillenn, captain, whose commission ranks him asa captain of infaniry; Jar. Travers, D. H. Brotherton and Robert 3 H. Handy, lieutenants. The company will consist of forty members, who contemplate leaving here between the 25th inst and the Ist of February. This expedition is entirely under the auspi- ces of Gen. H. L. Kinney, who has commis- sioned the captain; and it is said other com- panies will simultaneously leaye Baltimore and several Northern and Southern cities for the new scene of enterprise. Miss Maxean’s Kr apines.—The house for, Washington city, was well filled last night to witness the first efforts of this young lady, as a public reader. We were fearful that in the untried path of a reader she would hardly meet the expectation created by her success on the stage; but we are happy to say that we think her success asa reader quite equal to what has been said of her as an actress. She is handsome and commanding in person, has a voice of great power and compass, her pronunciation is distinct and perfectly fault- less, and che evidently has a heart that en- ables her to feel and sympathize with the cha- racter she is portraying; and with these ac- complishments, together with a fine education and a determined spirit and a love of her pro- fession, she has, in leas than three months, made herself an artist of the first class. She will of course improve, and much extend her Present powers, both as an actress and aread- er; but she is now entitled to stand at least in the front rank of her profession. OsituaRy.—We have to announce this day the death of a most remarkable character, who expired this morning at the advanced ageof77. His name was Col. Northrup; and was at the period of our Indian War, one of the aids to Gen. Cass. He possessed a most extraordinary memory ; there being no sub- ject connected with the history of this coun. try, with which he was not fully acquainted, at all times giving the exact day, month ani year, in which the events transpired. He was a thorough Jackson Democrat. The greater portion of his life was devoted to the Purchasing of soldiers’ claims, whereby he Tealized a large fortune. His affection for children was great, and his gifts to them were many. He has lefc two son3 advanced in life, with several grandchildren, to whom his prop- erty reverts. Lorrery Poticy Suors.—It will be well for the police of the District to be on the alert just at this time to suppress the lottery policy Duisance whicn is said to be exceedingly rife amongus Dealing in “ lottery policy” is the Worst and most mischievous description of gamblirg—one at which the ignorant alweys lose. and at which none but the most ignorant are such fools as to play. Those who can leact afford to be cheated out of their money, &re invariably its vietims. The law affixes a heavy punisument for keeping a lottery policy shop, and it should be rigidly and promptly enforced in thia city. We hope soon to have itin our power to announce that arrests have been made here uader the law in question. Exection oF Orricers, &c.—Ata meeting of the Freeman’s Vigilant Total Abstinence Society, held at Temperance Hall, onthe 17th inst., the following gentlemen were elected officers tor the ensuing year: Ulysses Ward, President ; R_ J. Beil, First Vice Presidont: HG ee Second do; W. H. Sibley, Thini do; J. Kidwell, Recording Secreta- ty; J. Johnson, Corresponding Secretary; A. Duvall, Treasurer. A resolution was passed, calling a conven- Uon of temperance men, ‘o meet in Temper- pits Hall, on the Ist of February, at ten O'clock, a. m., at which ali temperance organ- izations were Tespectfully invited to attend. ee was ANNOUNCED last night, at Forrest ae piceTgetown, Previous to the lecture by woe as Maguire, that Stanley, of the us vote lds. bad kindly given the use of all for that Sccasion, stopping in the midst cf his p a ibiti f Profitable exhibition.

Studnits, of Charleston. The gentleman was fond of bi gy riding, and went to Mr. Kimmel’s livery stables and hired a horse and b . After taking his pleasure he returned. Since then he has had the horse and buggy twice, but the last time he did not return, and neither the owner of the horse nor the Proprietor of the hotel have heard from him since. The clerk at Brown’s was so well satisfied with his ap- pearance that he paid a small bill for him be- ‘ore he left. All that Studnits left to pay his bill was a new valise, in which, on being opened, was found three lumps of stone coal. Caine tex Reut mm rar Navy Yarp.—A correspondent asks us to aid in inducing the clerk in the Washington Navy Yard who calls the roll of ship carpenters, to raise his voice in so doing; as, in the crowd surrounding him on such occasions, it often happens that some present fail to hear their names called, and no we! are ro it nt, it answering ported as being absent, to their great injury. We are very sure that the clerkin question has only to informed of the necessity for a change in this respect, to make it promptly. Axciext Basyion,—The exhibition now open at Odd Fellows’ Hall, is certainly worthy of speeraes: Its character is entirely new, and the lecture is very instructive and pleas- ing. The Baltimgre press have spoken of it in the highest terms of commendation. Go see it. Last night all in attendance were highly gratified. Tue Caxau —There was but little water in the canal this morning, which caused consider. able inconvenience tothe boatmen. The hea‘ gales from the northwest usually causes low water in the canal. Tae Nationa Banp.—This band is increas- ing rapidly in popularity as well as members. We are told they have several very fine en- gagements to fulfill shortly. It is an excel- Tent band, and can furfish performers on either wind or string instruments. Tue GRanp BAuL or THE HIGHLANDERS.— The owners of Jackson Hall are about making the building fire-proof; in consequence of this, the grand ball of the Highlanders will come off at Odd Fellow: all.

The last named person has only returned to his old quarters, which he left without per- mission from the proprietors a few days since. GEORGEVOWN CORRESPONDERCE. Mr, Maguire's Lecture—Advance in Beef Nay Sor Foot Ways—Mar- ets. GEoRGETOoWN, Jan. 19, 1855. Long before the hour arrived yesterday eve- ning for the delivery of the lecture by Presi- dent Maguire, before the Young Catholic’s Friend Society, Forrest Hali was crowded al- most to suffocation by as intelligent an audi- ence as ever assembled in our city. Uponthe stand with the reverend speaker we noticed the venerable Bishop MoGill, of Richmond, and the entire faculty of the Georgetown Col- lege, and in the audience nearly all the Pro- testant Ministers of the Gospel now residing in our city. We learn from our butchers that beef cattle advanced fifty cents on the hundred yesterday, We learn that the advance has been caused from some heavy packing house in Baltimore, which has contracted to furnish a large amount to the allied armies in the Crimea. We discover in the Georgetown Advocate of yesterday, the name of R. P. Dodge, Esq , an- nounced as a candidate for the Mayoralty of our city. We sincerely hope that our city fathers will to-night take into consideration the actyal necessity of giving to the good people who re- side in the neighborhood some flag footways atthe crossing of Green and Dunbarton streets. We know of no spot in the whole city where such an improvement is more needed . The flour market this morning is steady at $9 for good brands, and very superior a shade higher. Wheat has declined from 8 to 10¢.— merket unsettled. Spectator. a eee Congressional Sport.

The Second—A partial eclipse of the sun, May 19th, at 9 o’clock 9 minutes in the even- ing—invisible here. Only visible towards the North Pole, Greenland and the north part of North America, latitude 60 and 61. The Third—A total eclipse of the moon, Oct. 25th, at 2 o’clock 35 minutes in the morn- me: invisible. he Fourth—A partial eclipse of the sun, November 9th at 2 0’clock 39 minutes in the afternoon; invisible here, and only visible at the South Pole. moon, May the evening Patriotic Orrer.—The patriotic fund now gathering in England calls out many ecceatri- cities, ard one of them is an advertisement in the Oxford Chronicle, which is as follows: “‘A widower, of good character, with five children, offers to marry the widow of any soldier slain at Alma. For particulars apply to Mr Higgs, draper and tailor, South Stoke, Oxford. The above offer is to be considered the contribution to the patriotic fund of the widow.” Nor Moca Lixs “Harp Times.”—A gen- tleman, living on Harrison S , Boston, and doizg business on India wharf, was pre. sented on the 10th instant with $500 by the men in his employ, as a token of their esteem and regard for him as an upright, prempt and liberal business man. Perhaps the employees had better waited until money had got more plenty. Rrpvction or tax Duties.—The French government has decreed that certain articles, the growth of the United States, be admitted by French or American vessels, into France at the reduced duty, as follows: Sugar, under type 1, F 23 per 100 kills; do, above type 1, F 56 per 100 kills; mo'asses do., F 3 per 100 kills; tallow, lard, &¢., F 5 per 100 kills; whale oll, F 15-per 100 kills. iz AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL.—For meg oa cure of Conghs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping- Gough, Asthma aed Consumption, fe universally known as the remedy ever yet discovered for every variety of Pulmonary disease. So wide is the field of ite usefulness, and so numerous the esses of its cures, that almost e section ef the country abounds in persons Publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseaxes of the lungs by its use. When once tried its aupe- rlority over every other medicine of Its kind {s too apparent to eacape observation, and where its virtues are known, the ublic no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the Ristresning and dangerous affections of the pulmonary or- Sans which are incident to eur climate. By its timely use, many, nay almost all attacks of disease upon the Lungs of throgé, are arrested and thus are saved many thousands ev- ory Year from a premature grave. No family should be with- out it, and those who do neglect to provide themselves with 4 remedy which wards off this dangerous class of discases will have cause to deplore it when it is teo late.
