t. bewspa) EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tus Oouncits.—Board of A/Zermen met last night at the usual hour, Mr. Hill in the Chair. Various bills from the lower board wete laid re them and appropriately referred, or otherwise disposed of They were as follows, vis: A bill appropriating $71 for the repairs of the West farket; rath relating to the du- ties of sealer of weights and measures, and fi the salary of that officer, with a lower board’s amendment to the amendment of this board; lower board's amendment agreed to. Also, the bill to change the hour for the meeting of the Councils, the lower board hay- ig refused to concur in the amendment of this board striking out 3} p. m., and insert ing in lieu thereof5p m. Mr. Borrows moved to Iay the said bill on the table—yeas 5, nays 3. Mr Clark presented the petition of Martin King and others, for a curb-stone and pare menton the south front oc squares 87 and 904; referred to the improvements committee. 4 petition from sd)mz iog men of Washington, ageiast the employment of the convicts in the penitentiary in manu‘acturing, so as to come in conflict with the labor of citizens and tax payers of Washington. and asking for the annulment of all such contracts made by the superintendent of Public Works in the District of Columbia Mr Pepper submitted a joint resolution di- reoting the Distric: committee to ask Congress to grant the prayer of theso petitions r. Bor-ows made a few remarks on this resolution, holding that though h» should throw no opposition in the way of the adoption of the resolution, he conceived that the sign ers of the petition had made a mistake in ap- plying to ths Councils, rather than directly to Congress. who alone had the power to grant their request. He conceived that the peni- tentiary system at best had every where proved a failure, the point of reformation of the conduct having everywhere failed Mr. Pepper then addressed the board at length, against the employment of convicts at mechazics’ labor as being a great evil and a crying shame. He was for employing them, instead, as clerks, messengers, &c., in the executive departments at 60 cents per diem. He thought it was best that the petitioners should come here to the councils for relief.

He was for | having the two bodies come to a conclusion | upon what legislation by Congress they would | ask for, re tricting the number of the subjects i as much a3 possible.

The lower Board's revolution for a joi sion this evening, to elect a police magistrate for the Fifth Ward, was laid before the Board, and was opposed by Mr. Fitzpatrick, and ad- veces ed by Sir. Heston ‘ . Mr. Bayly opposed the joint meeting, until the Board could ascertain who the caucus of the lower Board had determined to elect to this office. He was for electing no man to the place unless he was u person of character and capacity; and he dered to postpone this election one weck that the members of the Beard wight aeceriain what manner of man was to bee! i to this office. Mr. Fitzpatriek urged the Board to agree to this pes’ pe nement. Mr Pep; er, thorgh not opposed to the pro- Ing postponeu-ent, argued in favor of slect- aD, F one whom the delegation from the )ard should recommend. Mr Houston moved to amead the resolution so as to fix the joint meeting on Monday next at eight p. m.; which was agreed to, and, as ameuded tbe resolution wss passod. After the transaction of other business, the Board acjcurned Mr. J. W.

When the bill from the Bosrd of Aldermen for the relief of Henry Turner was taken up— Mr Duncanson stated that the bill was de- fective, and moved that it be laid upon the table, which was agreed to. He then offered a new bill, which was read three times and assed ¥ The bill to pay Joseph Cross $100 for extra services as Commissioner of the Eastern sec- tion of the canai, was referred to the commit tee on claims. The bill paying John H. Kirkwood $4280 for altering the drop of the sewer at the cor- ner of 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue was referred to the committee on improve- ments. An act correcting certain assessments in square 163, was referred to the committee on ways and means Mr. Busey introduced a joint resolution au- theorising the Mayor to contract with Thomas J.

There were effi t pleasant for all who chose to participate in dancing, end not toe many to permit all to enjoy thewselrves. The young mechanics of the yard. who were the gallants of the eren- ing, conducted themselves with a deg:ca of | refinement which would have been excced- | of any eng ingly credi‘able to the beans entertainment in any American city, render- ing all happy by their evidoat desire to make! all present contented with their share of the! evening's pieasures. Our good old fashioned cotillons, waltzes, Spanish dances, &s., were enjoyed with a relish rarely evinced in these days at balls. There were moro charming sitls gracing *he occasion than one oftea meets Among those whoze modest grace, o with beauty, and artiessnese served to throw a halo ot happiness over the minds of their compan- | 10n of the sterner sex, we noticed Mis: C—I, Susan S—h, Olivia B—s, Jare sorah G—n, Kate MoN—y, Laura H—| x Y—y, Jane M—l, Margaret M—1,!

Proscription.—The Sen- tinel of thie morning in noticing the recent ap- pointments of Police Magistrates made by the President says r. Clarke was formerly forthe Second Ward, but ¢) alice Magistrate \s City Council, : (nearly all of the members being Know-Noth- ings) rated him out, and elceted Mr. F. S. Meyer in bis place. The Councils refused to reappolat Mr. Samuel Drury asthe police magistrate for the First Ward, this gent! n being anti-Know-nothing: but he still eontin- uesto actin that capacity, for want ofa Know- Mothirg justice in the ward to super-eds him. eis a vacancy in the Fifth ward, ccca- sioned by the receat death of Mr. Joseph W. Keck, and we believe a similar difficulty there prevails. The commission of Mr. Samuel Grubb ss jastice of the peace, (who was last June elected by the Counctis police magistrate for the Third ward ) andthat of Mr. William R. Woodward, have not been renewed. It is generally be lieved that they are “Know Nothings,” though we really “don’t know” However, their pe- culiar friends attribute the omiesion on the part of the President to renominate them to the Senate, to this suspicion of truth. Taz Gnraxp Batu ror tae Benerit or tHe Poor.—We notice in Saturday’s paper tat the contemplated ball of the Wazhington liighianders, for the benefit of the poor of our city, would not take placo at Jackson Hall, for the reacon that Mr. Rives designs making some itprovements in that building prior or ebout the time agnounced for the bail. We bave, however. the pleasure now of stating that Mr. Vhomas Young, the proprietor of the “Old Thosire’ on Loutiana Avenue, near Si s kindly proffered the use of tbat ss room for the occasion, free of charge itis is altogether characteristic of that gentleman, and wo. thy of the object for which it is granted. The Washington Gas Light Company have also notified the esteemed Captain Reere that there will be no charge for the gas consumed. This is very eommen- deble, and we hope that every citizen wiil lend his aid, and “*Give to the poorman’s want—his ear And wipe the helpless orphan’s tear.” The affair, altogether, will be one of gran- d commends itself to all that havea little to spare ot thig world’s goods. ‘Che names of the managors on the part of the citi- sens we hear will be snpouneed in the papers to-morrow. They, in connexion with the gen- tleman, (Major B B. French) who has ac cepted the Treasurership, will no doubt do their utmost to make this the most maguifi- cent and agreeable bail ever giveu in our city, Accipent.—Last night, Mr. Thezker, a dealer in produce, while on his way to the Centro market, from his home in Georgetown, was injured by bishorse running away with him, and smashing hiecarriage. Mr. Thecker had to return home, but we are glad to learn that he is not considered dangerously Lart. Woopavit vs. Serpex.—This suit, which is to recover from Mr. Selden $5 upon a note of Selden, Withers & Co., was tried before Justice Goddard this morning. Mr. Linton appeared for Mr. Woodhull, and Mr. Carlisic for Selden. Justice Goddard did not render judgment this morning, but holds the care under cersidera'icn Suppex Deata —Capiain Cryer, acierk in the city post office, went home last eveniog a little indisposed, with a sore throat, and be- fore sunrise this morning he was a corpse. He has left @ wife and four small children. ject does, to our home feelings and sympathies, The supper was a ; Diggs, a colored woman Heuver, tae Seconp Sieur Sezr.—Ia few days this celebrated modern magician will appear inourcity. An exchange psper in speaking of him sa: ‘He is indeed a 8 His mystic powers, to which he gives t! rm of Sgconp Sigur, are so astounding that even in these days of intellectual discernment, we are quite astoun- ded, and Svogn conjectures innumerable may arise concerning the power he exercises, in conveying knowledge to another whose vision is for the time obstructe*, yot more and more are the spectators themselves inthe dark on the subject. In performing those illusions, for which he has been so justly renowned in Enrope, and in this country, he introduces to his iences the most gorgeous panoply of apptratus ever yet beheld—no tinsel or gilt—or tawdry and flimsy stuff—but gold bullion—damask cur- tains, of the most elegant and: costly pattern. Indeed every thing he places before the public is of the most recherche and elegant description. The fabled Palace of Aladdin, built by the bands of Genii could not, perhaps, surpass in brilliancy and lustre, the megnifi cent and dassling Coup'd’ ceil, which is pre- sented to the vision, when Robert Heller's cerns of Magic and Mystery is exposed to view. Tue Poor —The Ladies’ Union Benevclent Society, untiring in their efforts for the ameli- oration of the suffering poor of our city, have secured the services ot the Philharmonic So- ciety in giving a concert. Mr. Carusi has in the kindest manner tendered the use of his pepaiar Saloon for the occas and Mr. J. Ellis has, with equal generosity, tendered the use of one of his fine toned pianos. The Programme is made up of the most pleasing and popular music of the day, and we predict that it will be one of the best concerts ever given in Washington. Appealing as the ob- its suecess will show that home talent is still appreciated, and that “native graces’ are yet more attractive than “ foreign airs.’ We hope, therefore, that on next Thursday even- ing, Carusi’s will be crowded to its utmost capacity. Granp Bau in GEoRGETOWN.—To- night, the Vigilant Fire Co. of Georgetown, give a ball ‘for the relief of the des‘itute poor,’ and the arrangements made by tho zentl nly managers, induce us to believe it will be a splendid affair. We hope that lorrest Hall, on the ocoasion, will yield alarge amount for distribution for the purpose named. Char- itable persons in Georgetown and Washing- ton, who reflect that giving to the poor is lend- ing to the Lord, should unite in giving ec/at to an occasion which will afford that reat pleasure which invariably results from tne consciousuess of well doing. Tre Caprain orr Duty.—Last night a cap- tain of police belonging toa sister city acce- dentally got a little tight, got into a row, and from that got into the guard house. There he displayed his baigo of office, and his certificate of perinicsion to visit Washingtor. When the wortby captain recovered sufficiently to un- derstand, ths Captain of the Guard adminis- tered a lecture to him that he is likely to re- tainin his memory as long as he live:. @Qfficers should set better exomples. Panorama.—Last night there was a very good audience at Odd Fcilows’ Hall to see the great paivctings, historical and pees of the Assyrian Empire and Babylon. The lec- ture itself embodies an amount of valuable information worth the price of admission. As this exhibition will remain but two nights longer, we would advise our readers to go ani see for themselves. Tue Great Magician. —Macalister, the celebrated magician, is about to amuze and astonish our citizens, by giving a series of his wonderful performances. ‘his kind of exhi- bition is popular in Washington, and as Macalister is xnown to be one of our beat wis- erds, there can be no doubt of a triumphant engagement GavaLing ScHoots.—Our citizens are suf- fering loss by not removing from the path of their children the numerous gambling schools kept by colored psrsons. Much of the law- Jessness for which children are punished, is chargeable to older heads. The adult pro- Proprietors of these schools where children are taught the surest road to prison, should be severely punished. Crimisat Corrt —To day, the motion for a new trial of Barnes and Shenig was over- ruled, and when we left, the jury were out in ting fire to a house, the property of Anne Wartcr Returns.—James Thompson, Wm.
