EVENING STAR. LOGAL INTELLIGENCE, Urvic Procrsss.—We copy, with great Pleasure, the forty-fifth annual report on the city of Washington by that venerable and = bec gon John gees It is an in- resting valuable document a — gee bs $ four story dwellings, 70 three-story, 48 two-story, and 1 one-story ; of wood, 10 three- and 122 two-story—in all 164; with 33 ad and 8 shops. The total number of dwellings in the city is 8,920, and the estimated number of fakabteats my eset Aen average of between six and seven inhabitants to each house. There have been 27,201 running feet of brick pavement laid, of which 15,900 feet were in the Second Ward. The aasessed value of all kinds of real and personal property, including bank and other stocks. for the year ending June, 1856, is $25,- 568,703. The rate ofthe assessment is sixt cents per $100, and will yield, when collected, after deducting the discount for prompt pay- ment, the sum of $142,412. The true interest of the city requires the assessment to be in- creased, as heretofore, to seventy-five cents on the $100, which would enable the Councils to make the necessary improvements and in- crease the sinking fund. First Ward.—A neat and ae new market-house, with iron supports, has been erected on north K. between ighteenth and Nineteenth streets, having thirty-two stalls for butehers, all of which have been taken at an average of over $78. There are also convenient benches, all under shelter, on each side, some of which have been taken at S50 each. The building is well covereds is paved inside, and is twe hundred feet in length. The old unsightly market-house has been pulled down to make room foran angular enclosure of iron meh Second Ward.—With the exception of the ading and graveling of some streets in the lower portion of the Ward, the most important improvement is the curbing and paving of Fourteenth street, from K to the northern boundary, on both sides, with flag cueing a part of the distance. The street itself has also been graded a part of the wa The footway on the east side of Vermont avenue is laid to O street. The grading, enclosing, aud paving of the circle intersecting Massa- cbusetts and Vermont avenues and Fourteenth and M streets remains to be done, for which there is an appropriation. Other improve- ments have been made, but not of much mag- nitude. On the Baptist church, on Thirteenth street, has been erected a lofty steeple, with a fine-toned bell. Third Ward.—In this ward less than usual has boen done from ward funds, but some good improvements have been made in the north- east portion in the extension of footways. A large engine-house has been erected at the in- tersection of New York avenuc and Sixth street. The Centre market square is within tho limits of this ward, haviag a length of 500 by 279 feet, (being 1,558 feet circumference,) of which only 530 feet is now built on. The Present building is only thirty-four feet wide, including walls; its elevation inside is sixteen feet. It has a projecting shed of twenty-six feet, divided into two parts for country use, 4c. Anextension of the building is much wanted to supersede the present unsightly fixtures. One vf the wings might be erected with a ball above. similar to the one in Balti- more, with the Mechanics’ Institute above. That hall was built as follows : 9,019 shares, at $5 each.. 45,095 6,400 do dou Paid by city (market) .. $102,095 It is 355 by 60 feet, and 65 high. The long room is 256 by 60 Fourth Ward.--Some general improvements have been made in various portions of the ward in grading and gravelling, and the carriage-way of C street pebble-paved from Four-and-a-half to Third street. Fifth Werd.—Not much has been done in general avec The rails for the line of railway from the Baltimore depot have been laid, es New Jersey avenue to First street, down First to Maryland avenue, thence down it to the canal at Third street, and con- tinuing along Maryland avenue towards the Potomac Bridge, Stzth Ward.—Much has been done in re- ducing the grade of streets, making the incline more gradual, the accomplishment of which has necessarily caused the proprietors of prop- erty in some cases to underpin their houses. Seventh Ward.—But little has been done to ay oh streets, &c. A new place of wor ship has been erected on square 935. The extension of the Treasury building has commenced, and a considerable portion of the cellar foundation walle laid of hammered granite, thick and solid work. The extension of the General Post Office has all its founda- tion and part of the arching laid, with a small commencement of the marble work. The west — of the Patent Office will soon be complete: A portion of it is already oceu- pied by the Land Office, and soon the whole of that office will be removed to it The eastern reom on Seventh street has been completed, fitted up, and is occupied by models of patents, all arranged in handsome cases. The work on both extensions of the Capitol has been ex- peditiously progressed with, on its exterior, and, as progress has been made in the iron roofing, some of the rooms have been finished and fitted up in a beautiful style. The cen- tre dome has been removed preparatory to the erection of the new one, according to the model ef Mr. Walter, which will be very lofty. At the Navy Yard extensive new buildings have been erected and nearly completed, affording room for the manufacture of every article al- most which is required for thenavy On the Ist of December the Minnesota steamship of war was launched in a beautiful style Should — lw equal to those vessels built at this yard heretoiore, she will cost less and will run longer without repairs than those built in other yards. _ In the immediate neighborhood of the city is the Columbia College, now in a prosperous condition, and having an increased faculty It is situated on a beautiful site overlooking the city, having around it ampie grounds, no ortion of which ought ever to be diminished y sale. Additional accommodations hav e been made by the erection of a new building for the steward. The grounds require embel- lishing by walks, grass plots, dc. The Soldiers’ Home, situated on an emi- mence north of the city, presents a noble nce, and its workmanship is highly itable to the contractor, Mr. Gilb. Cameron. Statement of the late William Elliott.— Circumference of the city, 14 miles; contain- ing 310,838,285 square feet, or 7,134 acres. Length of streets, deducting intersections, 199 miles; length of avenues, deducting intersec- tions, 65 miles.

Reservations 10, 11, 12 sold, 1,263,240 square feet Natioxat Tararre —Every of the house was crowded last night, and seldom has amore brilliant audience been seen in this Metropolis. The “School for Scandal” is a waster-piece, but it can only be performed as it was last night, with actors of good abilities for every part. Harry Piacide, rhe Sir Peter Teazle of the American stage, fully sustained his reputation, Jas. W. Wallack, Jr., though badly dressed, was successful in his delinea- tion of Joseph Surface; Murdoch was much applauded in Charles Surface; and Thomas Placide, as Crabtree, acted inimitably The female portion of the east was much inferior to the male, although Mrs, Buckland looked, was dressed, and acted in admirable style as Mr:. Candour. Miss Lizzie Weston lacked aplom) as Lady Teazle, and Miss Devlin re- peated the part of Maria, but failed to throw sufficient animation or case into the character As a whole, the representation was high! successful, and Manager Jarrett deserves hig! praise for thus oongregating stars into agalaxy of dramatic beauty Tag Geran Lacers at Carusi’s to-night intend to make their ball ‘4¢ ball of the sea- son Wartca Retens.—Andrew Wayne, drunk and disorderly, sent to the workhouse for thirt; days; William Wells, profanity, paid fine an’ costs; Thomas Manly and Joseph D. Walovtt, furnished with lod, 5 To ALL wow iT May Coxcrry.—Somé days ago an Hinge ha erg in the Star mention- = a letter eived in this city, making en- phage ales yoy ipce heirs of Jno. White, who em’ to country the count; of Armagh, Ireland, and who, it is believed, left two sons, Abner and William, and to which heirs, when found, there was coming the snug sum of a million and a half of dol- lars From the numerous enquiries made of usin regard to this matter it would appear that there are a t many Arm de- soonded Whites in country, and it is sible there may be ‘“‘@ few more left,” we would state for their information, individually and collectively, that the matter bas been placed in the hands of Henry M. Morfit, coun- sellor at law, Four-and-a-half street, Wash- ington, D. C., who will give them all desired information in relation to the interesting pile of money. We hope they may get it. SLeignine, Supine, AND SLEDDING.—The sloet has pretty effectually vetoed pedestrian exercise, inflicting bumps and contusions with av ance upon all undertaking it; but it bas given a wonderful zest to all sorts of mo- tion upon runners. The long vistas of ice which sheet our broad avenues are covered with vehicles, from the gay sleigh, with its comfortable arrangement of furs and mufflers, to the old crockery crate hoisted upon runners and crowded with don’t-care “ b’hoys.’? On they go, with the chiming of bells, clatter of horses’ hoofs, and shouts of merriment! Here they go, and there they go, up and down, and across and around! Hurrah for this buggy and sleigh ! Whew-w w-w! the sorrel wins! More sleighs, more bells, more pretty girls! Can’t stand this! where’s our hat? Danine Ourrage.—A ruffianly, disreputa- ble looking individnal, who has Then notieed lately lurking about the publie buildings, this morning watehed his opportunity and assailed @ respectable elderly gentleman in this man- ner: “ Why is Odd Fellow’s Hall this week like a bachelor orphan?’’ The gentleman naturally alarmed at such an unexpected blow, replied that “he did not know,”’ where- upon the miscreant added, ‘ Because it has no pa-nor-a-ma nor any ladies fair (Ladies’ Fair!’’) and instantly taking to his heels, fled with suoh precipitation as to elude all pursuit. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.—The compositors of the Star office present their acknowledgments to Mr. B. Adams of “Social Hall,’ Pennsy!- vania avenue, for the glorious supply of good things—oysters and fixings—served up in his own unapproachable style, and which he so very handsomely provided for their sustenance when nearly fagged out by their midnight la- bors upon the President’s Message. They came justin the nick of time. and were dis- cussed with infinite gusto by all concerned. IxstaLiatioy.—We learn from the Alexan- dria Gazette, that there will be a public in. stallation of the officers of Mount Vernon Di- yesion, No. 68, Sons of Temperance, at their hall, on Wednessday evening. at 74 o'clock, at which time addresses will fe delivered by Rev. Messrs. Newlin and Westwood. The public, especially those who feel interested in the cause of Temperance, should be present. a VETERANS or 1312.—At a meeting of the veterans of the war of 1812, held in Norfolk on Thursday last, seventy-six delegates were appointed to the National Convention to be held in this city on the 8th of January. Tar Levee of Columbia Lodge at Odd Fel- lows’ hall to-morrow night promises consider- able enjoyment to those may attend. Tae Bauw of the Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Company was weil attended last night, and appears to have been a brilliant affair. —_————_—_— Se i> Letter from Hon.
