EVENING STAR. ' LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, Bau Surears.—The young men of Was! - ington are vastly behind the age in the mat- ter of the suppers they cause to be provided at their balls, given by military and fire com- , clubs, &c. Nothing is to be had to eat sach entertainments, for love or money, ui « til i midnight. When all who dis gn taille eepzer are fed at the same time, usual- ly by a caterer, who being for tho of serving the supper at a low rate per must make it a meagre one, of even for the low price charged. The Wow York plan is inGtitely better. Game caterer, who can relied on to well-known WE To his best, and to charge no more than fair , is engaged, paying nothing bis lege. Round tables are spread in @ suy room, to which the guests repair as their fancy or appetites suggest, and calling for what they wish, by the card, are all well served, and sup at theirleisure. In that way, the person who feels disposed to spend a five dollar gold piece in boned turkey and cham- pagne, can do so; while the person who de- Sires but a plate of oysters, may nrocure them at a cost of from one to two shillings, or evenless. Itisto be hoped that our young friend who Nees sp ate giving such balls this winter, will take the improvement we suggest into consideration. Natrona TakaTRe—M’ctie Marre Durer as Jack Suzrrrarp.—On Saturday night, we are to have this celebrated artist in her great jiece, dramatized by Mr. Haynes, of Londor, rom Ainsworth’s manuscript. When it was first produced, the author sent an autograph letter to the dramatist, indicative of the satis- faction he derived from witnessing such a cor. rect representation. Asa matter of course, it is essentially different from the versions of the ‘Jack Sheppards” we have hitherto had pre sented to our notice; on the contrary, it is a moral drama, ly portraying to the young and inexperienced the sad results of reckless- ness and crime, and inculcating upon all the evil effects of alack of integrity. It isin four acts and forty-two tableaux, with startling sit- uations and imposing scenes. Those between Jack and his mother in Bedlam are represent- ed to us as particularly impressive. The press of Baltimore, during her recent engagement there, spoke highly of M’lle Marie Duret. She ean only ap here one night, when she will be i by Mr. J. H. Leroy as Jonathan Wild, and the entire Baltimore Museum corps dramatique, together with Mr. Burnett as Biueskin, a character in whieh he stauds pre- eminent. Covnterrgirs.—As an item of interest to the citizens of Washington, as well’ as those residing elsewhere, we copy the following ar- ticle from the Baltimore American of this 1 : a ei of new counterfeits of the notes of various banks taken by photographic pro- ees, having been put in circulation, and as the counterfeits by that art so closely resem- | bled the genuine as almost to defy detectior, | the Bank of Commerce, in order to protect the public as far as possible from loss, have had a new plate prepared for its $5 issues which will be put out to-day. The new note is cf very handsome design, and the surface of the x being of red color cannot be photo- ed, an impression from it producing a tive black appearance.’’ Corp Comrorr.—Late last night, informa- tion was received at the guard-house that two men had fallen into the canal; and at once several of the Auxiliary Guard posted forth to render the assistance which might be required. Before they reached the banks of that water channel, however, they were agreeably sur- rised to learn that the objects of their solici- Gas had been extricated from their perilous situation, and were againondryland They Were esco! to the guard-houce, dripping wet, of course, chilled to the bone; their bodies shaking and tremulous, and their teeth chat- tering. They were privileged to dry them- selves; and after a comfortavle snooze, were, this morning, permitted to depart. Tus Commemoration or Att Sovts.—This is “ All Souls’ Day,”’ a festival of the Catho- lic Church. oes as we learn from the Metropolitan, the Catholic Church, ‘‘like a tender mother,”’ invites “ the faithful togather round her altar, and unite their voices in favor of her afflicted children, reminding them that itis a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead.”’ ** Those souls, though detain- ‘ed in a place of purgation, are nevertheless moat pleasing to God.” : : In some places it was kept as a holiday of till neon; in others, the whole day, but generally as a day of devotion only. Tas Jacxsox Statve.—At a German mass meeting, in New York, on Wednesday night, it was stated by Mr. Ira B. Davis that ‘‘ Mr. C. L. Richter had really moulded the statue of Jackson at Washington, for which Mr. Mills got the eredit.’’ If we mistake not, Mr. Richter presented a memorial to Congress to this effect, but he failed in the object which be sought, namely: to deprive Mr. Mills of the credit of the work, and to himself receive a bonus from the Nationa! Legislature. gument failed of conviction. His ar- Sane or Rear Estate.—Green, auctioneer, rday sold to Mr. Henry Bradley, for fifteen thousand dollars, the building formerly occa- pied as a bavking-house by Selden, Withers & Company. It is situated on Seventh, near D street, four stories in height, twenty-eight fest front. running back eighty feet, on a lot one hundred feet deep.

Fms.—Last night, about 11 o'clock, See ley’s lime-kiln, at the intersection of Virginia avenue and the canal, near New Jersey ave- Bue, was di ed by fire. The works were extensive, inc! g machinery ; and the loss of the proprietor must be considerable. Cover ov Craivs.—Yesterday, Mr. Sher- man concluded his remarks in the case of Letitia Humphreys, and was followed by Mr. Baxter, who had not concluded when tle ceaurt adjourned. COMMUNICATED. Mar. Evrron: The learned lecturers, Misses »Niveson and Smith, who have been in our mid:t 2 short time, are about to leave us. They ave drawn around them a small number of ladies, whose thirst for scientific acquirements led them to surmount the barrier that custom and prejudice had set up against female speakers and physicians. Doubtless, there exists ip the minds of many a belief that these ladies may be tiuctured with the popu- Tar *‘isms’’ of the day, — seek to dis- inate opinions sntagonis! our feelings oa institutions.

Maryianp AGRICULTURAL Fatn.—A gentle- man, who returned from Baltimore this morn- ing, reports that while there, yesterday, he met with hundreds of both ladies and gentile- men from this city, who were attracted to the grounds of the land Agricultural Fair. A Fraue Briivine, near the canal locks, in the First Ward, was yesterday morning de- stroyed by fire, before the engine companies generally could reach the scene.} GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Gzonextown, Nov 2, 1855 A meeting of the President and Directors of the Metropolitan Railroad Company was held yesterday, at which it was resolved to com- mence the construetion of the road without any further delay. A committee was also ap- pointed to wait upon the Legislature of Mary- land at its next session for the purpose of got- ting the charter amended by striking out that portion which requires all the earnings of thé road from this int to the junction with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to be expended in the completion of the northern portion be- fore any dividend can be declared. The meet- ing wasa ~_s harmonious one, and the very flatteri encouraging prospects of an early effectaal commencement of the work seemed to infuse new zeal and energy into every individual present. Notwithstanding the warning we gave.on Wednesday, the persons engaged in cleaning out thecanal, continued, during yesterday, to deposit the immense mass of mud, stone; &c.. taken out of the canal, directly into the chan- nel of the river. The point where it is being deposited, is not only calculated to injure our pavigation, but to seriously injure valua- bls wharf property belonging to the canal company, and inflict a serious difficulty and injury upon many business men located in the west portion of Washington, these wharves being neerer to them by fer, and much more convenient for the landing of coal, wood, &c., than any others. Our Shsateat has already been and is still being injured sufticiently by other obstructions, without the canal agents going deliberately to work, in open daylight, to fill it up with mud and stone. We are pleased to learn that the little fe- male stranger, who was left at the door of one of our citizens, on Monday evening, has found a good and permanent home. A very worthy couple, who have not been blessed with the pleasure of raising any of their own, have adopted it, and intend raising it. As the kind and sympathizing family which has adopted it are in moderate circumstances, we would suggest tothe guilty and unnatural parents the propriety of assisting them to raise it, by contributions through the mail, or some other process By so doing, they would, in some | measure. mitigate the a nable sin of which they have been guilty. Business upon our canal seems to be reviving mite rapidly. The number of boats arriving the last few days has been greater than for some time past. Mr. Vanderwerken, of the Union Line, has now in course of construction and nearly com- picted, a number of very comfortable and su- perb omnibuses, which are to be placed upon the route in place of some of those now run- ning. e Flour is firm, with an active demand at $9a $9.12¢; extra brands would command an eighth more. fales since ofr last of some 6,000 to 8.000 bushels wheat at $2 05 for good red and $2.10a$2.18 for white.
