LO a ———_— __L_L__ SC TAR LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. « Suxtestve —The notification of the con of Poliee, published yesterday in the Sea@seemed to check the sport on the avenue, which, for some weeks, has been enjoyed al- most daily by thousands of our citizens of both sexes—{vr the ladies crowded down upon the street, and stretched their graceful necks out over the curb-stones, bending their brilliant, if not cofteyes, as eagerly up or down the avenue as the goers might be streaking, as did the men and boys, who, more excited, lined the middle of the street at the hour when the fast ones were expected to show off their paces. Ths Baltimore horses werc taken home yesterday afternoon, having been beaten, according to the estimate of the Washingto- nians, whe may, by-the-bye, have been some- what too partial to home, in furming this judg- ment.) The truth is, the gentlemen from Baltimore drove their horses over here (forty miles) at a spanking pace, after some three weeks of con- stant and killing sleighing; and ventured to encounter the fast horses of this vicinity in five or six hours after reaching W igton. With proper rest, we have no doubt that they would have come off easy victors, knowing, as we do, that Mr. Burns’s Pilot has certainly made his mile in 2.36, and that the colt of Mr. McDonald, which was driven with Felix, tone of the fastest horses in America,) cost his owner, not long since, $2.700, having beat- en Felixin a square race. ‘“ Poor Old Paddy,” the sorrel pacing horse of Mr. James Roach, of Alexandria County, Va, under the cir- EVENING cumstances, on Tuesday, ‘laid out cold’’ the E g of our old friend Paddy, (who, like ourself, hails from the kingdom of Cooney.) we are reminded of the fact that he has more “horse sense” than any other piece of horse flesh we ever knew. Thus, when his owner leaves him standing on a cold night without tying—a useless precau- tion with him—on feeling chilled, he will pace around a square or two without a driver: in- variably returning to the spot at which Mr. R left him—doing so half a dozen times in the s The horse-men have it, that if our friend Jim keeps him out at night beyond what he conceives to be a reasonable hour, when he comes within reach of his teeth, Paddy seizes him by the lappel and gives him a friendly shake, by way of reminding him that e won't vouch for thie latter story, as we will for the How many wives there are in the world who would give gold to have their hus- band’s possess 30 considerate horses, as most of the “‘ horse men’’ believe ‘* Poor Old Pad- 2.36 horse of Mr Burns) Wri course of an hour. it was about time to go home. other. dy” tobe!

Thus he writes “<I was conversing with two gentlemen on my way down from the Capitol after the ad- journment of the House this afternoon, when # stranger requested a werd with me. I ped. and my friends wenton. The stranger, appeared in the prime of life, six teet high, and who must weigh over two hundred, thus began— ““Is your name (ireeley ”” es. Are you a non-combatant?’ **That is aceording to circumstances The words were hardly out of my mouth when he strack me « stunning blow on the ight side of my head tree more, as rapidly as possible. My hands Were still im my great coat pockets, for I had ne idea that he was about to strike He stag gered me agrinst the fence of the walk from the Capitol to the Avenue, but did not get me down. I rallied eon as pescible, and saw him standing several feet from me, with sev- eral persons standing or rushing in between us asked, ‘Who is this man? I don’t know him.” and understood him to answer, with an imprecation, “ You'll know me soon enough,’ or “You'll know me hereafter,”” when he turned, and went down towards the street. No one answered my inquiry directly, but seme friends svon came up, who told me that my assailant was Albert Kust, M. C., from Arkansas. He gave no hint of any cause or pretext he may have had for this assault.” After sume comments on the character of the resulution of Mr. Rust, Mr. Greeley, contin- uing, writes that his assailant “turned and walked down along: I followed, conversing with two friends. Cr ssing Four-and-ahalf *treet, they dropped behind to speak with ac qesintances, and I, walking along toward the National Hotel, soon found myself in the midst of a huddle of strangers. One of these turned short upon me—I saw it was my for- mer assailant—and said ‘De you know me now’ I answered, - Yes; you are Rust of Arkansas.’ He something of what he would do if I were a combatant, and I replied that I claimed no exemption on that account He now drew a heavy cane, which I had not seen before, and struck a pretty heavy blow at my head, which 1 caught on my left arm, with no other damage Aes a severe bruise is was trying to strike again, and I was en- leavoring to close with him, when several per- shed between and separated us_ I did X tike him at all, nor lay a finger on him; but itcertaialy would have been « pleasure to me, had I been able, to perform the public éuty of knocking him down, I cannot mis- take the movement of his hand on the avenue and am sure it must have been toward a pis tolin his belt. And the crowd which sur- rounded us were nearly all Southern, as he doubtless knew before he renewed his attack on me.”’ Exrortise Ice to Bostex.—The late severe cold has enabled our ice dealers tu lay ina stock of ice whicb for purity and firmness can fairly compete with the famed Long Pond or Whenham Lake” ice. Pettibone has been Futting in some lately of this description, and ‘ least ten inches in thickness.

Tue Revising Copiriers.—This Board met last night in the Aldermen’s Chamber. On motion of Mr. Carrington, Mr. Polk was called to the Chair; and on motion of Mr. Ed- monston, Mr. Carrington was appointed sec- retary. Mr. Carrington then read a letter from the Codifiers, suggesting that the Board appoint a committee of four of the most experienced members to consider the work before it was printed. the Board was taken upon the subject, and it Was not agreed to. Mr Martin suggested many changes which he desired to see made.

TELEGRAPHIC NEwWs, FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BY HOUSE PRINTING TELEGRAPH. ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Steamer Arabia. Havirax, Jan. 31.—The Cunard steamship Arabia, which sailed from Liverpool on the morning of the 19th, arrived here this even. ing, bringing 107 passengers. he steamer Asia arrived out on the i 3th ani the steamer Baltic on the 17th. The steamer Union did not touch at Southampton on her passage out. These had been intense interest caused by the news from Vienna, which was at first un- favorable. When the Austrian Ambassador handed the allied note to Nesselrode, he said he was not authorized to enter into a discus- sion, but if the note was not ace; uncon- ditionally before the 15th, he and all the Aus- trian Embassy must leave St. Petersburg. To revent this, Nesselrode communicated with Vienna direct, and Prince Gortschakoff at Vi- enna had a talk with Count Buol, in which the former } reduced a memorandum express- ing the general inclination of Russia to nego- tate, but proposing certain alterations. Count Buol received the document, but in- asmuch as it did not contain the uncenditional acceptance of the propositions, Austria could not a ed without the cencurrence of France and England. The ambassadors of these owers were accordingly sent to Lendon and ‘aris, and a reply was received that the West- ern powers had no motive to change the decis- i ady carefully considered ; and further, that if Russia did not accept by the 18th, Count Esterhasy and Austria would immedi- ately seek to obtain the assured cooperation of the other powers While every one in Western Europe was on the guc vive, the London Times’ Vienna cor- respondent telegraphed under date of Wednes- day, the 16th, at10A.M., that Russia has unconditionally accepted the propositions of the German diet. This was reported to be authentic, and caused an immense excitement throughout England, but the government — published the next day put a different face upon the affair— being in effect that Russia had only accepted the allies’ proposals as basis of negotiation This slightly relaxed public confidence, and less sanguine hopes were now entertained Doubts were expressed that Russia had merely | accepted the proposals to prolong the negotia- tions and gain time THE MARKETS Livpmroot, Jan. 18.—Messrs.
