EVENING STAR. Local Intelligence. Tus Great Forcenr Case —Yesterday, after we went to press, it was definitely ascer- tsined that much “ paper” which had lately been put upon ae | | hee by Col. Lewis Littlepage Taylor, of Mississippi, for some past a clerk in the office of the First roller of the Treasury was forged. On Seturdsy night lest suspicion was first aroused, and the forger left the city clandestinely on Monday morning. itis supposed. It wasonly sy. however, that the fact of his crime was definitely ascertained. The forged consisted of many of his own aotes p to be endorsed by the Hon. Jefferson Davi: and other i purporting to be orders from clerks on disbda; agents of the bureaa to which each is attached, for their salaries--- drawo in advance of the ‘ime whendue It is supposed by some that the amount of his <—< is as | ag twenty or thirty thou- tend dollars. we do not believe, as after due inquiry, we cannot hear of more than five thousand dollars, and not definitely of that amount. Twery or thirty persons, money-lenders, clerks, messengers, and con- fiding friends are the victims—essentially con- fidence men. That is, men of more confidence in human nature than eagaci'y in business transaction. As they all appear to have a horror of being known as those thus “taken in and done for,”’ we refrain frcm pablishing the list. The forger is very respectably connected in Mississippe and has a family here—a wifeand seven or eight children, for whom all amovug us feel deeply, indeed, as no one is more ds- servedly beloved than the lady in question in her circle of friends. He (Taylo-) isa man of iatelligence, and heretofore stood very fair, though always bearing the reputation of being heediess and thriftie-s in money matters He looks to be from forty to forty-five yoars of age, is about five feat ten or eleven iaches tall, stout built, with florid complexion, bi eyer, and thin brown hair, and wore, on elo;- ing from Washington, short whiskers He is said to have been seen drank in Baltimore, on Monday evening last. Gambling is alleged es the cause of hiscrimes. It has brought many men of more firmness, promise, and original character than Lewis Littlepage Taylor, before him, to the commission cf as bad deeds. The anteroom of the Secretary of War pre- sented # lugubricus scene, shortly before noon to-day, there being half a dozen of Tay- jor’s victims seated around, awaitirg the op- portunity to verify the endorsement of Gene- ral Davis, if possible. We understand that he pronounces all such paper bearing his name to be forgeries. P.S. From what we learn before going to reas, we Shall not be surprised if ‘aylor’s forgeries amount to quite $15,000. Mosican Artists 1x WasHINGTon.—The correspondent in this city of the New York Musical World and Times, writes to that paper in the following eulogistic manner of artists among us, which certainly argues well for the advancement and improved state of musical taste in our midst : “Itis remarkablé what a sudden accession @s. vity bas had lately of accomplished musi ¢i-as. In the vocal department we have now awong us, Sig. Louis Bartolezzi, late of the Sontag troupe; also Sig Strini, late of Mad. Bishop’s troupe, both of whom appear to have classes. In the pianoforte depariment. dile. de Boye, recently from Stockbo m and Mr. Robert Heller, late'y of Bos'on, have be- come residents, and are apparently we!l pa- tronized. I had the pleasure of attendiaz a soiree at which Melle de Bove performed ibe | piano part cf Beethoven's Grind Septcar, ar ranged as quartet. Her performances on the iano are certainly vo-y commeadable, and r rendering of beetheven inimitable. “Mr. Heller gave a public soiree here last week, at which the ciito of tho city were t. You and a'l Bostonians must cer- tainly have beard him; for his beautiful legato style and perfect rendsiing of Mendelsohn has already beccm2 proverbial here smong all lovers of good music. Upon the whole we now certainly Lave not mere teachers but artistes as well among us, cf which any city might be proud. Preparations are already making for the great musical convention which is to take place here next May, ard te judge frem tho y of the parties having tho matior in charge it will be a grand affsir.”’ Taem 1s AND DONE FoR!—All old resi- dents of Washiczton remember woll their late fellow citizen, Mr. Hanson Garerway, who, after being many yoars sn active business man among us, lost his miud, and was in the habit, in bie periodical walks, of giving checks for large emounts to his old acquaintances, whioh were gorer geod, of course.

Tax Peorte’s Tuzatne —There was still another fine house at [ron Hell, last evening, to witness Miss Morant’s representation of Juliana in the “Honey Mon.”’ Thoogh evi- dently suffering with a coid, Miss M., as usual, acquitted herself to the irfiuite g:atification of her audience. Mr. Allen's Duke Ararza was slso very woll presented. He is a capital reader, and pc $a fine voico and person, besides being eom.zendably atientive to the business of the stage. Misa Tyson, as Volante, Won much praise, as vgaai, thourh the part was one of the winor characters of the piece. Mr Whalley played Rolando much to the Satisfaction Hg the house, sod Bi Stuart Sustained the characier of Lopez with credit. The last mentioned, though u noviss, is already ene of the best actors in his line of businass in the curntry. Ip the hands of Burton he would fon become aa fadispensiblo adjanct of some New York theatre. @ deserves great credit for the rapidity with which he hes mastozed his new profession taken up withia ths Inst year. He left our office—being one cf our apprentioes—for the stage. We parted with kim with regret, inasmuch cs we koow that most youths who take to theatricals do not tecceed in that line.

Dow Raswon Prsto.—Among the letters dis- played at the window of the city post office, as not roar by so mails on account of the non-payment o: postage, is one addressed to Don Ramon Pinto, ‘Soneae Cubs.

Marker Tarevss.—Several days ago we stated that the covered stand of Mr. Caldwell, at the Centre Market, was broken open, and half a dosen bams stolen therefrom, but whisb property was afterwards found in the street, the thief being so narrowly eyed by the watch- men as to cause him to run away from his booty; and we now have to announee that, since that time, the lccker of Mr. Wilson, the butcher, was broken open, and a pair of Sal- ter’s spring balances abstracted The loser offers ® reward, as appears by an advertise- ment in another columa of the Star. We frequently hear of larcenies in the Centre Market, such as the stealing of baskets filled with domestic produce One one occasion, while a lady was purchasing beef, her basket, containing her kutter, (worth $1 75,) together with the kettle, was slily removed by an in- genius rogue who escaped detection. We conceive it to be our duty to suggest to our readers that they b> watchful while making their purchases. for there are always prowlers in the Centre Market “ seeking” for that which “they may devour.” Ciacuit Count —In this court, esterday, the case of James (x. Barry, of Bt Louis, sgainst James Adams, administrator of the estate of Thomas Law, deceased, was tried and brought to aconclusion. As we understand the matter, it appears that in 1828, Mr. Barry advanced Mr. Law $250, in part payment for alot in Washington. Mr. Law being on the eve of going to the Springs, instructed his brother Elmund to give Mr. Barry a perfect deed on the payment of the additional $100, which would comprise the entire stipulated price for the property. It did not appear ia evidence, on the trial, that Mr. Barry ever cffered to pay this last named amount, and the action was breught to recover the $250 which had been given to Mr ‘Lbomas Law. Tbe court instructed the jury that if they believed that Mr. Lew did not hold a title to tho land, it was not necessary for Mr. B: to show that he had offered the $100 to Mr. Ed- mund Law, or that a title deed had been prof- fered to Mr. Barry. The jury redored o verdict for Mr. Barry, namely, to r ~ ver the $250, with interest from the jcar 1525 to this time, which latter amounts to about $400. Stone and Morgan for Barry, a:d Ccrlisle for Adams. Important Sz1zurz!—A constable of this county recently notified the publis, in a writ ten notice. prominently po:ted, that, by virtue ofa fi fa.,he had “seized seven ebesnut Tails, thres old cedar posts. four old boards, ons cld short plank, and a small quantity of wood or lumber,” which-he sould expose to sale for cash, to the highest bidder, at public auc'ion.

Fines —Early, lest evening, the burning of a quantity of brushwood on the other side of th® river, occasioned an alarm among the firemen of the city; and ata later hour—sf- ter 11 o’clock—a light in the country set the bells to ringing and the engines to running ; but the latier were not hauled to the scene of confisgration.

The election contest is close bet ween Taylor, American, and Farren, Democrat. [sBconD DisPpatce.| April 8—Evening.—The election excitement is increasing. The Germans have refused to give up their cannon, end fighting has reocom- menced over the canal. It is reported that several have been killed—that the Germans are mostly armed, and have fortified them. selves in their houses. The American party are aleo well prepared, but the probability is that matters will be measureably postponed uniil the morning, when it is hoped that this hostile feeling may tomewhat subside. [THIRD pDisParce | April 4.—Nothing of special interest farther transpired last night. This morning the erowd re-arsembied in Fifth street, Market Space, and the greatest exsitement was manifested. The military were under arms and awaiting orders. The Germans have agreed to deliver up their cannon at 10 a m., and if thispromi:e is complied with, a collision may be prevented.
