AR. Sta Al =) EVENING ST LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. A Visit to Artineton.—A friend of ours having recently, in company with a party of tad sited Arlington, tae residence of ‘the venerable G. W. P. Custis, informs us that afte ra pleasant ride of about three miles, they reached the hospitable mansion of Washing- ton’s “ favorite,” which is situated apwa of three hundred feet above tide water, on an eminence immediately fronting the city, on the bank of the beautiful Potomac opposite to our city, and which is familiar to every resident of the Metropolis, and to the thousands of rs who have onjoyed the hospitality of , ce ‘old orator.’ On entering the sp2cious hall of the fine old puilding they were most cordially received by Mr. Custis, who, upon hearing of the object of their visit, accompanied them. in the kindest manner. over the premises, and showed them many things of surpassing interest, but more articularly his extensive collection of paint- ings. Prominent, above all, were some wor- thy efforts of the proprietor himeelf. His bat- tle scenes are spirited, though they lack that ease which is perceptible in the productions of professional artists. it one of these, where the manly form of Washington rests in an erect position beside his beautiful charger, that elicited encomwiums from the celebrated artist, Mr. Healey. In addition. there is the last original portrait of the “Father of his ” by Sharpless, said to be tho best ss ever taken of shington. The lit- tle painting certainly justifies the admiration so often besiowed upon it. Another of Mr. Custis, when a youth, exeeuted by the popular artist, Mr. Stirn. of New York, and a number of exoeedingly fine and well-kept old paint- ings of Mr. Castis’s ancestors, tating as far back as 1706. In addition, many highly ered- itable p:eductions from the pencil of his highly- gifted ghter. Var friend and his fair compani 8 Wore ex- ceedingly gratified with their visit.

The members of the church are in excellent spirits. Several able ministers are in constant attend- ance, and members of the church on other stations and hs empl circuits come regularly to the help of their brethren There have been number of conversions, 2nd many are still flocking to the altar. Generous Cuitprey.—Miss A. M. Adams, the instructress of Primary School No 1, Fourth District, writes us that her pupils have contributed $10.06 for the benefit of the or- phans of Norfolk and Portsmouth, made so by the fever. “‘ Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heayen.”’ Funerau.—Yesterday afternoon, the Ger- man Yagers, Lieut. DoBille commanding, ac- companied by the Journeymen Stone Cutters’ Association, attended the funeral of Mr. John Miller, a deceased member. The procession was a large one—the Yagers numbering near sixty men, and the Stone Cutters over three hundred. — Swixe —The police were cut at an early hour this morning, accompanied by their dogs, hunting for the porkers which have been run- ning at largecoutrary to law. Of course there was considerable squeaking among the gutter snipes when the canine grabbers would fasten on their cars and hold them till the officers arrived to take possession. The officers se- cured over twenty-five animals Tue Marker this morning was not as well attended by cither sellers or buyors as usual recently. It was what would be called a good arket if our country friends were all so en- ed as to make it impossible for them to at- tend regularly. As it was, the absence of pur- chasers kept the prices at the old rates. Usrroritarte Business.—Yesterday, J. Gerhardt was fined by Justice Bates for selling liquor on Sunday. This is the second time within a few weeks, and Mr. Gerhardt says it ends his Sunday business. Thirty dollars in so short @ time in fines is rather more than his sales will justify. Such a license is rather costly. Tue Contrisutiens.—The banking-house of Sweeney, Rittenhouse & Co., of this city, have transmitted, up ro 1 o'clock to-day, to Norfolk and Portsmouth, $2,720.91; which, in connection with other aceounts trai snitted, makes a total of $10,000 from this city.

A few copies of Mayor Addison’: address to the people of Georgetown, in reply to the last Report of the President of the Metropolitan Railroad, have made their appearance among us. It is rapidly becoming the principal topic of conversation among the friends and oppo- nents of this improvement. What effect this epistle wiil e upon the public mind, as far as the road is concerned, we are not prepared to say; but we are inclined to think, from the severe strictures that we have heard i ing men, that cur worthy 13 put in rather too heavy acharge of powder, and co far from its hitting the object aimed at, it will more than likely act like Paddy’s gun, kill hardest backwards, if not completely explode. While this address, so far as the argumentative and s tion is concerned, bears the im and deep thought, the language in which the remainiag portions of it iscouched, is decided- ly more violent than we ai firstimagined.

There was never a Letter heart in a human bosom than his; n ramere honest, manly, straizht- forward character than he maintained.

BOTELER, sep 15—eod Auctioneer, REPORTED FOR THE EVENING STAR. ONL WKEK LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER BALTIC. New York, Sept. 20.—The Collins steamer Baltic arrived here late Iast night. Her ad- vices contain nothing important from the seat of war, or of the political aspect of European affairs in general. The week has been extra- ordinarily destitute of news. From the Crimea, tien’ls Simpson and Pe- lissier telegraphed on the 3d that there was nothing new respecting the siege; but that the Russians on the Tchernaya were again threatening an attack ; and hence the allied army was kept completely on the alert, and parties remained constantly under arms. It Was questioned whether the Russians would attack the Tchernaya lines or Balaklava by way of Baidar valley. Gon. Simpson tele graphed that the Russians were engaged in bridging the barbor and fortifying the north side of the city ; also that they had been con- siderably reinforced from the interior. There is nothing of interest from the Black or Baltic seas. ASIA. The Turkish bulletin says that the Russians have not the means to attack Kars; and in a recent partial attack they suffered a consuder- able loss NEGOTIATIONS. There is no reliable information respecting negotiations; but it is reported that the Ger- man Powers are preparing a new programme, to confine the war to its ostensible object ITALY. ~- it is rumored that England, instigated by France, is about to take measures of hostility against Naples. GREAT BRITAIN. There is not a word of political news from Ragland, it we except a rumor current in the clubs that Great Britain intends to call Na- ples to account, and will make the recent in salt of the Neapolitan police to an attache of the British Embassy the groundwork of a quarrel. The news of the death of Abbott Lawrence was received in England with every expres- sion of sympathy. On the 7th inst. the Amer- ican ships in the port of Liverpool displayed their flags at balf-mast. AUSTRIA. The intelligence from Austria is about an average—neither positively good, and not the reverse, and of litile consequence. THE MARKETS.

The crops are favorable. “THE LATEST. It is reported that Gortschakoff writes to Petersburg that his defences are considerably damaged. but the report is considered doubt- ful. The London Times says: “The cannohade of October last was trifling compared with that of April; that of April was surpassed by the two days which preceded the capture of the Mamelon; but all will sink into insignifi- cance with the iron tempest which will shortly be poured on the beseiged city. The weight and range of the guns, the number and size of the mortars, the new positions of the bat- teries won by the steady progress that has marked the summer, will try the endurance the Russians to the utmost. The great scale on which such a bombardment is carried on, with the preparations necessary for its ex- ecution, render the delays which preceded it, matter of but little surprise.”’ or From Norfolk.
