EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: Ep Avvertiszmenrs should be handedin by 12 o'clock, M., otherwise they may not ap- Pear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer, epproving of the declen- #ton of Hon. D. S. Dickinson of the invitation of the Anti-Slavery Society of Boston to lec- ture before them on the subject of slavery, says : . = ‘We submit, then, with deference, that no benefit will accrue from the proposed lectures. As an abstract subject of inq , the system of Southern slavery, in all its forms and de- grees, hes been fully elucidated, and those who wish for light can readily find it. As to the idea of a labo defence and illustration of this topic before a Boston audience for any real practical object, it would be enough to say that the institution lies beyond the line of apy tangible interference. Let slavery be an evil however goes, they cannot remedy it. All they can do, in a®matter which concerns them constitutionally no more than does serf- dom in Ruseia, is to injure and retard the cause which they profess to have at heart, and which multitudes among them doubtless have at heart most sincerely.” The Union announces, on the authority of the Hon. Mr. McMullen, of Virginia, arho very reeently passed through Terre Haute, Ind., on his return from a tour in the great West, that when in that 4own he was informed by a gentleman jast from the chamber of Sen- ator Douglas, that he was-rapidly recovering. The Unéon has also similar very late informa- tion from some other gontlemen. As these accounts are subsequent to the letter of the invalid Senator’s physician referred to in the Star yesterday, they will rejoice Mr. D's many friends among us. The Untow also announces that the usual caucus ef the Democratic members of the House preliminary to the organization of the new Congress, will be held in the House Hall, on Saturday evening next, at 7 p. m. $$ PERSONAL. -+++The following members of Congress ar- ‘Yived yesterday. and are stopping at the hotels designated Wtlards’ Hotel.—Hon.

Exptostex.—The Riehmond Dispatch has the particulars of a terrible fire-damp explo- sioa, which occurred on Monday night at the Black Heath coal pits, in Chesterfield county, by which four men lost their lives, and three others injured. The scene at the pit on Tues- day morning is represented as being most dis- treasi The sight of the bodies of the dead end the sufferings of the wounded were of the mst painful nature. Zhe melancholy scene Was heightened by the lamentations of the families of the dead, all of which were ex- ceeding helpless. The victims were John Marshall, killed He had his head dreadfully crushed.

Senator Trumbull.—We hear that this gen- tleman comes to Washington without either Congressional certificate. That is, without the Governor’s certifiate of his election by \the people of his Congressional district to the House of Representatives, or that function- ary’s certificate of his subsequent election to the U. 8. Senate in place of Senator Shields. There is a clause in the State constitution of Illinois, which was originally adopted to make Stephen A. Douglas ineligible for Con- gress, providing that no one who held a State judgeship should be eligible to be elected to any office whatever, until a stated period after the termination of his judicial term of office, Mr.'D. being then a judge and a Congressional aspirant with almost a surety of being sent to Washington. If we are not mistaken, it was not held to be operative in Mr. Douglas's case. In this case, however, the Governor is said to have refused to certify to Mr. Trumbull’s original election to the House of Representa- tives, he being a State judge when elected. In the case of his election to the U. 8. Senate soon afterwards, it is said that in addition to the reason mentioned above, the Governor found a bar to giving him the necessary certifi- cate, on the ground that he had not declined his election to the House. Whatever the reasons operating on the @overnor’s mind may have been, howerer, it is protty certain that Mr, Trumbull is here without the usual certificate for either position, and it is equally as certain that there is to be strong opposition made to his taking his seat as a Senator, with what re- sult remains to be seen. A Protost.—The Baltimore American Dem- ocrat protests earnestly against the proposition of the Organ cf this city, to strike the Phila- delphia-platform flag and march directly over into the Republican camp; which we presume is translated to be the pith of our talented, amiable, knowing and ingenuous neighbor's new “ platform,’’ announced on. Monday last. when formally announcing himeelf a eandi- date for the House printing. Discussing our neighbor’s amusing project for reconciling the difference between Messrs. Walker, of Ala. Lake, of Miss., e¢ cf , and Messrs. Wilson and Burlingham, of Maas., et, a/., on the slavery question, the American Democrat says: ‘* And how does the Organ propose to recon- cile the difference? By abandoning our ground and going over to the camp of the en- ewy' By giving up our nationality and be- coming eectional! By surrenderin everything we have been contending for! e have no doubt the Organ is right in thinking that the 2% would be unreasonable it they did not.”” With roference to the effect on the Know Nothing party, of ‘ going over into the camp of theenemy,”’ the American Democrat ala says: “It will become a sectional party. The era of slavery agitation will be revived, and it will rage with a rancor of which we have heretofore had not the faintest conception. The moment the American party goes into caucus with the Seward men, that moment it is denationalized and destroyed.” The reader will perceive in these brief ex- tracts, that ata distance the scheme of sell- ing out the southorn and national Know Nothings to that very astute gentleman, Sena- tor Wilson, and his allies, isnot more favorably received than by the real twelfth-section men in Washington, of whose very unanimous con- demnaticn of it we took occasion to write briefly yesterday. Paid Fire Department.—We have lately read every thing within our reach likely to inform us reliably upon the question of the Success or failure cf the new system of rely- ing, for the protection of Property from fire in cities, on the verviees of a paid fire depart- ment. The conclusion to which we have come—and wo have carefully conned English, French, and Prussian, as well as American, (Boston and Cincinnati,) statistics bearing on subject—is, that in most cascs the decreaze in the value of ‘property destroyed by fire, brought about by the change, has been nearly one half; whiie the increaso of the cost of the maintenance of the fire departments (where the system has been adopted) has been in all cases inconsiderable, when the services rend- ered by the paid firemen, as auxiliary police- men, &c., are taken into consideration. We Propose, as soon a8 we can find the neeessary space in the Star in which to treat the sub- ject, to present data bearing on it, which, we think, will be likely to bring our tax-paying fellow-citizens to our conclusion, that Wash- ington city should promptly avail herself of the experience with the new system already before the world. In the mean time we shall be thankful to our friends, whether in favor of or opposed to the change, to send us in manu- seript or in print any thing that may be likely to add to the publio’s stock of information upon it The Speakership.—Thore appears to beso general a disposition among the Democratic members of the House who have arrived in Washington to vote for the Hon. Mr. Richard- son, of Illinois, as their candidate for Speaker, that we take it for granted that he will be nominated if a Democratic party caucus be held. It is understood that the position of the Democracy of the House now among us are invited to meet this evening at the house of a fellow member for consultation, when it will doubtless be determined whether regular nominations of that party had best be made. Whether the result of this contemplated pre- liminary meeting be to make a nomination or not, we presume that Mr. Richardson will re- ceive the votes of all his political friends in the House, for the Speakership. This will beina measure on account of his eonnection with the enactment of the Nebraska bill, the principle of which it is evidently designed to make the leading feature of the Democratic party plat- form in the approaching Presidential election. Asa gentleman and a party man, no other member deserves more than Mr. R. at the hands cf those who act with him politically, the compliment which will be involved in an unanimous vote for him for Speaker, though his election may not thus be seeured. The Missouri Senatorial Election.—Yes- terday great anxiety was manifested among the politicians in Washington to hear from the result of the effort that was to have been made by the Legislature of that State a day or two since to elect an United States Senator. The impression prevailed among those who might fairly be supposed to be best informed with reference to the’ actual state of affairs at the seat of government of Missouri, that no choice could be effected, though here and there a warm friend of Mr. Atchison seemed to feel very sure of his re-cleotion. Our own opin- ion, from the most reliable data within our reach, is that no election can be made there for some time to come. We hear that Colonel Benton’s same will not be presented, though he still hase handful of devoted friends and admirers in the Legislature of Missouri. TheMovements of Walker and his Mea.— A correspondent of the Star, writing San Juan del Sud, Nicaragua, gn the 15th November, says : “ This town is nothing more thins place for steamers, dependent entirely fo! upen Ape eee Ts omit and ry q) ie Nic: ompany. The: e are hotels, kept gene! Americans.

Walker made a treaty of with n. Corral about the 20th of tober, hich by its terms was to have been dng rac pg but shortly afterwatds some of ‘orral’s lence was intercepted, showing treachery and treason on his part. Walker had him tried bya Court Martial, and had him shot accord! his sentence. Cor- ral had been P; lent of the Republic. Walker was offered the Presidency, but de- clined it, and is called the Commander-in- Chief of the army, but he is in fact the raler of the country. He is a small man in stature, with light hair and complexion, and ening mrey eyes that seem to pierce you through. One would take him, at view, to be a mere country lad, without dignity or talent, but he is absolutely worshipped by his men. Tho opposite party look upon all Amer- icans as filibuster’, upon the Nicaragua Tran- sit Company as a filibuster, and upon the United Biates as the greatest filibuster ofall.” Life in Havana.—In looking over a file of the Prensa dela Habana, lately received, wo find several of its leading articles devoted to the subject of the invasions ef Mexican ter- ritory by armed bodies of citisens of the Uni- ted States, which acts the Prense strongly condemns; others treating of Know Nothing- ism in this country; and two or three in rela- tion to the monetary affairs of the island of Cubs. In one paper we find our Government complimented for its ‘‘moderation and wise impartiality’ in relation to the American Consuls at Matanzas and at Panama. Lotte- ries, theatres, balls, bull-baits, cock-fights, pootry, music, the fashions, £0., form the sta- ple of the Havana local news and criticisms. Senorita Soto, the dancer, originally from Madrid, but who lately figured professionally in the United States, is the particular star of the theatres there, just now. As a sample of the amusements and habits of the population, we translate the following local items: “New Dascz.—A dance has just been pub- lished by Don F. P., with the warlike title of “The Assault of the Malakoff, or the Taking of Sebastopol,’’ dedicated to the consuls of France and Great Britain. This dance is for sale at the printing office of the Diario de la Marina.” “ Buii-Bair.—It —— to be decided that the extraordinary bull-bait arranged by the lovers of the sport, and of which we made mention on Wednesday, Sunday morning, the 4th instant, taking part in it the celebrated Mexican matadora (female bull-fighter) Dona Josefa Leiva, who will kill one of the bulls. It is also said that the bold Jose Vazques will tantalize with the speared flag a brave bull, encountering him alone No doubt the performance of Sunday will be a very diverting one (or the lovers of this kind of exhibition.” “Cocxrit op Havawa.—On Friday next, 16th, St. Christopher’s day, the season of covk- fighting will commenc#, on which day, at noon, to render the performance agreeable, twenty cocks with gafls will make battle; the excellent orchestra Siglo XIX being engaged for this performance, and will gy at the con- clusion of each of the fights. On this occasion there will be a large attendance, and numer- ous matches have already been arranged. To the pit, lovers of the sport!”’ ‘‘Lorrery Tickets—Asuszs.—A worth subscriber has sent us the following communi- cation: ‘On the 5th inst., just eight fore the drawing of the lottery, ie my way to the principal office to buy the eighth of a ticket, and after waiting a few minutes was told that they were all gone. On the 7th I went to varioussub-offices, and in nearly all they had only sixteenths of tickets. It is certainly sad that, while there are so man tickets, the public cannot be supplied with them unless some sacrifice is made. Cannot this abuse, which is so prejudicial to tho pub- Mc, be stopped? I think it might be; for, by causing the disappearance of the many per- sons of both sexes now engaged in this traffic, the evil would, in a great measure, be rem- edied. Among these retailers there are some blind and two or three of advanced age that might be tolerated, insomuch as they have no other means of livelihood, and, morever, be- cause they do not importune or worry the pub- lic. But the rest, among whem there are some only eight heer of age, practice this annoy- ance to such an extent that you have to buy from them or use hard words in order to be let alone.’ ’’ The Prensa publishes, in instalments, sey- eral novelettes, which serve as light reading to the Habaneros. The Vacant Indiana United States Sena- torship.—We feel certain that this position Will not be filled this winter. The immediate friends of Governor Wright, who have been in Washington during the recess, were all of opinion that he will not call the present Legis- Inture together to make the electign, preferring to throw the question over until another Legis- lature may be chosen, as it is said he can do legally, if he so elects. The Court of Claims.—This commission yesterday resolved to meet hereafter at Wil- liards’ Hotel, the Supreme Court room, in which they held their sessions up to this time, being required for the use of the Court for the purposes of which it was originally intended. The chamber at Willards’ taken by the court; is conveniently located and capitally prepared indeed, for their accommodation. 2 A Know Nothing Caucus.—Just before we go to press this afternoon we hear that a cau- cus of the Know Nothing (Philadelphia plat- form wing) party of the House of Representa- tives were in session in the hall of the House of Representatives. The New Chief Justice.—We presume, from what we hear, that Judge Dunlop was to-day commissioned as Chief Justice of the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia.

It struck upon a hard clayey soil. and was found buried nine inches below the surface, making a nearly perpendicular hole. It is not known from what quarter the shell came. Fastipious.—A wealthy St. Domingo coffee dealer, whose skin was rather dark, essayed to dine last week at one of the Boston restau- rants, when the waiter informed him that it was against the rules to entertain colored per- sons.
