‘EVENING STAR "LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Ecuirsg or tae Moon.—The moon, poetic- ally designated “the Queen of Night,’’ bas been, is, admired as much in her peculiar sphere as the source of light in his—ihe King of Day. ‘*Meet me by moonlight alone,”’ is an invitation which is never neglected by those who are inclined te unite their hearts, that they may “‘ beat as one.’’ At least, wo are so informed by a youthful friend, who in such delicate matters professes to have great expe- rience. But the influence on lovers apart, Mlle ys ancy @ her face cov: = night, or r ir to-morrow morning ; in other words, there will be a total eclipse, and those who stay out of bed late enough, may witness the phenomenon. The following is the astro- iesaat statement of the beginning, duration, and end of the eclipse : ‘ce Pirst contact with moon’s penumbra..1 mm. Commencement of total eclipse.. m. “ of endof “ m. Last contact with earth’s shadow. m. “ « penumbra m. Total duration of eclipse. .m. Should the weather be fine, of which there is a probability, the usually visible planets will be seen undimmed by the superior light of the moon. Jupiter will set as the eclipse begins, and Saturn will be near the meridian. Venus will be rising as the eclipse ends, and Mars visible an hour earlier. At the time of the first contact with the searth’s shadow the moon will be about thirty degrees from the zenith, about ten degrees south of the cluster of stars in the head of Aries. The shadow will approach from the northeast and pass over to the southwest, and during the passage of the centre of the earth’s shadow will approach the centre of the moon within about taree-eighths of the diameter of the latter. As is well known to those who have seen the phenomena, the disc of the moon during an eclipse is generally of a bright copper color; but this is not always the case. Instances are on record of a total disappear- ance of the moon’s dise. According to Kep- ler, this occurred in 1601. In 1642 andin 1318 it was also the case, and the strongest tele- seopes failed to discover the least trace of the moon. This depends on the state of the at- mosphere, greatly. In tropical climes, the disc of the moon has much greater luminous intensity than in the north. In ancient times, eclipses were supposed to betoken the anger of the gods, and presaged “wrath to nation:;”’ but this feeling has long away, and they are now deemed harmless, though curi- ous astronomical phenomena. Court cr Ciarms.—Yesterday, the argu- ment in the eases of Asbury Dickins, Michael Nourse, and John Rob, was resumed by Mr. Badger. He said that these cases depend upon uw single question—is it lawful, under the con- stitution of the United States, for one person to hold two offices? cited the ¢ ase of Chief Jus- tice Marshall, who, at the time of his appoint- ment to the office of Chief Justice of the Uni- ted States, was holding the :flice of Secreta- ry of State under the adm/nistration othe elder Adams, in 1801, and ref srred to the Civil List, read by Mr. Baxter in | is opening argu- ment. He also paid a just ribute of praise to Chief Justice Taney. After afew explanatory r marks both by the Solicitor and Mr. Badge:, the case was submitted for the decision of the court as to whether testimony should be taken or not. The court called the case of J. K. Rogers, (No. 37 on the law docket.) This is a ciaim for the proportional share of the balance due to each one of the 2,103 men of the Cherokee nation, under the treaties of 1835 and 1846. Mr. Rogers appeared in his own behalf, read bis petition, proceeded in the argument of the ase, and had not concluded his remarks when the court, at three o’clock, adjourned. Narioxat Togatre.—Nothwithstanding the rain last night, this establishment presented a large array of spectators, to witness the per- formances of Miss Agnes Robertsen, who, in all the characters which she performs, emits a brilliancy of talent which deservedly entitles her to the men of a theatrical star of the first magnitude. The delight of the auditory was throughout her acting manifest on every countenance; sustained, as she was, by the best members of the corps. Mr. Jefferson, was, as heretofure, warmly greeted, and ehaunted Villikins and his Dinah in a manner truly comical. x Oa Saturday evening, there is to be an extra formance, when Miss Robertson will appear, positively for the last time, this season, in seven characters, with dancing and singing. The burletta of ‘A Catchanged tea Woman,” is among the novelties. Mcstc Depor.—Mr C. H. Eisenbrandt, the successor of the late firm of Hilbus & Hitz, an- nounces, in this afternoon’s paper, the re-open- ing of the establishment, in the Star buildings, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Eleventh street. He has engaged, as his agent, Mr. George Hilbus, a gentleman in every respect worthy and qualified to conduct the business. As Mr. Eisenbrandt iz an importer, publisher, and dealer in American and foreign music, performers on the various musical instruments will, at all times, be enabled to make satisfac- tory selections at that establishment. Pianos, strings, &c , will be on hand, to answer all demanis. 7 y Mr. Hilbus, as the agent, has just published “The Young Lover’s Dream,’’ « favorite bal- lad, and has in press the Belle Schotisch. M’iiz pe Bors.—As will be seen by an ad- vertisement in another column, this musical artiste is not lacking judgment in the selection of bor programme. Most, if not all, of the ieces to be performed have never been intro- iual into concerts in this city. The last se- lection is a duo from William Tell, by Osbourne and De Berios, and was recently performed in Baltimore by L. M. Gottshalk and J. H. Allen, creating much enthusiasm, It istruly a very appropriate piece with which to close the con- cert, A gentleman who had the privilege of hearing it says “‘ it is soul-stirring, pearing the national peculiarities of the Swiss, ani fairly makes one feel that they, like ourselves, are freemen.”” ; ma Mrs. Van Perry, a pupil of Szemelenyi, will Sssist in the concert performances, Visitixg Fireuex.—We learn from a tele- graphic dispateh, that the Rochester firemen, now in Baltimore, will leave that city for thie, to-morrow morning, at 9, and, therefore, will arrive here at ll o'clock. A meeting of the delegates from the several fire companies of Washington will meet this evening, at the Per- severance engine-house, at7 o’clook, at which our the bill be tolled, to complete their ar- rangements for receiving their visiting breth- ren. We state this that the ringing of the bell may not be mistaken for a fire-alarm. Juvaxice Coxzpraxs.—A company of chil- dren, thirty in number, snd from four to ten years of age, now performing with “‘im- mense success,” at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia. The performances, it is said, are the most astonishing ever witnessed. They appear in plays, burlesques, dramas, and farces, personating every character, without the aid of adults. Mr. Jarrett, the lessee of National Theatre, having effected an engage- ment with them, they will shortly appear at that establishment. gran Syxop.—The members of arin a Tuesday, before separating for their homes, called at the White House, for the purpose of paying their respects to the President. They were received by him with his usual courtesy. The Rev. Mr. McCron introdyo-d his brethren, in a brief address, to ident, wh ded in appropriate ifying to both parties. _—Oriental Lodge, I. 0. 0.

Furniture Sace.—To-morrow, thefurniture of Gen, Almonte, the Mexican Minister, will be sold at public auction. A fine opportunity will be thus afforded for obtaining household articles both for use and ornament, the char- acter of which is set forth in the advertise- ment. Tus Szconp Anxvat Bau of the Liberty Club, at the Assembly Rooms, to-night, prom- ises to be a pleasant, nay, delightful en- tertainment.

We are highly gratified to learn that cir- cumstances have recently transpired which Greatly encourages the President, Directors and friends of the Metropolitan Railroad to hope that matters will soon be so arranged as to permit the work being fully commenced, and carried on without any further difficulties of a series character. The President and some of the Directors held a meeting yesterday afternoon, in the company’s office, for the pur- pose of an interchange of views, and the put ting in proper form, to be laid before our City Coungils on. to-morrow evening, a considerable amount of important information, which has recently been obtained by Mr. Dodge, the per- severing president, and some of the directors. We are also pleased to learn that anew and decidedly more favorable feeling towards the road has recently sprung uP among most of the chief farmers and land holders along the route through Montgomery County, and that all seem See to act in the spirit of liber- ality towards the enterprise rather than suffer = improvement of such Mary importance to their future prosperity to fail. Propositions have also been wale = the Sie he a di- rectors of the most favorable character, which will, we are assured, enable the company, if our corporation and private subscribers to the stock will meet their instalments promptly as they should do to commence the work at an early day, and push it forward to completion without any further delay. Upon the whole, the prospects for the construction of the road, are now more flattering than they have been for a considerable time past. We learn that a very extensive revival of religion is now going on among the Methodists, at the Union meeting-house, in Fairfax coun- ty, Va. A number of prominent ministers have been laboring there, and among the number are the Rev. Messrs, Lanahan and Phelps, of your city. Our City Councils will have before them, to morrow evening, a considerable amount of important business. The most important will be the memorial from the Medical Association. the butchers and other persons doing business in the market-house, and the communication from the Railroad Company. The actual im- portance of each of these measures will, doubt- less, secure for them a prompt and favorable consideration. The flour market, this morning, is firm and active at $9. Sales since our last of about 1,000 bbls. at this price. Dealers are antici- pating a still further advance, as the effect of the foreign news. Wheat—white active at $1.95a$2.05; red $1.93a$1.97.
