EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tax Mcsicau Congress.—At the afternoon session of the third day, Prof. Woodbury oc- cupied the first hour ina lecture on the culti- vation of the voice. After which the practice of sacred music was continued for a while, when the glee books were taken up. During the latter part of the exercises Miss Farns-_ worth, @ professional singer from New York, Miss Darley, a young lady of Baltimore, with a voice of great power and beauty, Mr. Mer- rian, of Connecticut, and Captain Tucker, of Washington, sang in solos and duetts. A quartette of male voices, and another of both ladies — aa, and a trio of female voices, ded to the enjoyment of the after- — Beside this, many glees were sung in chorus. Great interest is manifested in this Congress by our citizens. Many families living in dis- tant parts of the city remaining throughout the day, and until the close of the night ses- sion. — FOURTH DAY. P This morning, after the transaction of the morning business, during which a committee of a: ents was appointed to attend to the pro) oor Snpenition of seats, &o., the practice of os was taken up, and were sung with a particular regard to the dynamics They were mostly sang inchorus. Prof. Woodbury was particularly successful in obtaining a mas- tery over the many voices singing so as to make them render the same expression Tn this case, as in most of his other lectures on musical execution, the instructions were iven more by illustrations and examples than y mere verbal directions. A principle would be laid down in a few plain and simple words, void of all technicalities. Then a piece woul be taken up and run through with a view of obtaining a knowledge of its movement and mechanical execution. Then it was sung over again with an cye to the particular rule laid down. Whenever 9 mistake is made, it is fol- lowed by the signal for silence, and the mis- take is pointed out, and the passage is sung over and if the e is not correeted with- out, the is gone over a dozen times When the difficulty is obviated, the piece is commenced anti run through till the next mis- take, when the process is repeated until the iece is sung correctly, as far as the principle laid down at the commencement is concerned. One quality that most pre-eminently fits Prof. Woodbury, is his untiring patience in striking at an error until it is conquered, and at the same time so varying the form of going over the passage, as to take from it the mono- tony that usually follows such severe drilling. He has sometimes, when the difficulty, tho for the time conquered, did not seem entirely killed, taken up piece after piece with a direct view to thatend. And then when it was fairly driven out, he would frequently recur to in other practice, as he said to impress the matter on the minds of the singers. The morning was sent in practicing pieces for the concert of this evening, and at twelve o’elock they adjourned till this afternoon. Tae Israrireg of this city are making commendable exertions to provide thomselves with a suitable place of worship. They are an industrious and deserving class in this community, and by their personal conduct during the few past years in which they have been numerous among us, have won greatly on the good opinion of their fellow-citizens of Christian denominations. In recently glanc- ing over the preceedings of Congress, our at- tention was forcibly attracted by the follow- ing brief and eloquent speech of General Cass in behalf of their petition to Congress, to have their church placed in this community in all respects on a footing with those of Christian denominations, under the law. We know that its noble sentiments will find an instant re- sponse in the breast of all truly liberal men. “ Mr. Caessaid: Mr. President, I have been oo by our Hebrew fellow-citizens of this District to present a petition, asking for an act of incorporation to enable them to erect bel sanhcadioamr a = ities with it. I understand t the existing law in this District makes provis- ion for those purposes only in relation to Christian denominations. Such a distinction is an act of gross injustice, and, if continued after our attention tog to it, . wen be a disgrace to our jurisprudence. It woul ill become us to cast eo yee by any act of ours, upon the faith the patriarchs and prophets of Israel, to whose keeping. for more than a thousand years, were committed the oracles of the true and living God. Consider- ed ima historical aspect only, the rise and P and fall of the Jewish race constitute the most interesting and remarkable, and, I may add, romanic. episode in the whole an- nals ofmavkind. The incarnate Savior him- self, in his human capacity, was a Jew, and be came, as he declared, not to destroy the first jion—that of law—but to fulfill it by the second dispensation—that of mercy. His revelation is freely offered to all the world whether Jew or Gentile; and it condemns every kind of persecution and intolerence, whether civil or ecclesiastical. I trust that fell spirit leading to eternal confligts between the power to inflict and the power to endure, will never take possession of the American heart, nor write its crue! and unchristian de- crees in the volumes of American legislation. I move the reference of this petition to the Committee on the District of Columbia. The motion was agreed to. Dang Remor has been busy enough, in as- certaining who the young woman this city was, who was the victim of crim New York. At least a dozen demoiseiles have been unjustly named as the person, but all of them bas afterwards appeared to contradict the slanders. Who was“ Anne E. Smith? Meanwhile, the case of Mrs. Crocker, the New York haridan, who was accused with the crime, instead of being investigated in that city on Tuesday, was postponed for three days by a certtorart from Judge Clarke, of the Su- preme Court. The principal witness in the case, Maria Leavenworth, was non est inven- tus. Officer Rynders, who was dispatched after her, returned to Court without her, say- ing she had left for parts unknown Miss Taylor and Mr. Jobnson, also witnesses in the case, also absented themselves on this very important occasion. The matter looks more mysteriousthanever. When will all the facts come out? Whois to blame? Mason Kerworta’s Fungrau, yesterday afternoon, was numerously attended by the Masonic Fraternity and the Military. The pall-bearers were S. P. Franklin, Joel Dow- Dr. Biagruder, John McDuell, Wm. M. lis, and Roger C. Weightman. The Grand Lodge and several subordinate Lodges were out in regalia, headed by M. W. P. Grand Master, B. B. French, who conducted the usual rites and ceremonies. Col. Hickey and Lt Col. Riley, with the staff and company officers of the Volunteer Regiment, (of which the deased was Major,) attended in fall uniform. Rev. Dr. Cummins, of Trinity Chuch, officia- ted, and a large concourse of relatives and friends joined the procession. Arrest.—W illiam Baker, one of the parties in the assault upon officer Wise, was arrested yesterday by officers Wise and Simonds, assisted by Pierce and Hariey of the First Ward, and was committed to jail by Justice Hollingshead. “5 Baker is only lately out of jail. Robert Mattison and John W. Carr, who were com- mitted in connection with the assault, have been released on bail. TawarricaL.—Remember that Mrs. Julia Dean-Hayne will appear in tragedy and com- edy at the National Theatre to-morrow night. She will perform the characters of Bianca in ‘Fazio’ and the Duchess in ‘‘ Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady,” being the only night she can appear in Washington. There will, doubtless be a full and a fashionable audience to welcome our gifted countrywoman.

Sir Joshua Reynolds speaks of the original as “ finely colons and Mell cenipassd,?? and adds that it was then offered at 22,000 guil- ders, (about $10,600.) The picture is a fair type of the works of this eminent master. @ Scene animated, the grouping skillfully managed, and the coloring exquisite—the whole a Rubens. The artist, whose animals are always to be admired, has introduced sev- eral spirited equestrian figures. The copy retains much of the master spirit. As the picture is for sale, it will probably remain on exbibition butashorttime. There- fore, visit the rotunda without delay, nor for- tto bestow a glance on the promising pro- udtion of our young townsman near by. A Goop Tore Comixe.—There is a certain degree of uncertainty attending all earthly affairs, especially in the weather line, this winter; but we are certainly inclined to be- lieve that what Professor Merriam calls the “‘eold term’’ is passing away, and that we are going to have some delightful balmy, May- like weather. At any rate, it is pleasant to contemplate the sibility of such a visita- tion, and we shal! certainly indulge it, even at the risk of “hollering before we are out of the woods.’ Court or cLams.—Yesterday, the hearing of the case of James Therue and others was resumed.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Gzongxrtown, Feb. 21, 1856. A fire accidently occurred on Tuesday night about 10 o’clock, in the basement of the dwel- ling of Joseph Libby, Esq,, on First street. As soon asthe alarm was given the neighbors rushed in, and succeeded in suppressing the flames before any further damage was done than the burning up of a basket of clothing, some damage to the room and furniture. Mr. Joseph Libby, jr., had his face and hands very badly burned while assisting to suppress the flames. Some graceless creature broke into Potomac (Masonic) Lodge room on Saturday last. The fiend broke open the desk of the Secretary and W. Master, upect the furniture, and carried off some forty cents in change belong ing tothe Tyler. The object of the thief was doubtless the venerable gold mounted gavel, which, by the way, is never kept in the hall. They also entered the school room of Mr. Hunter, situated in the same building, upset his furniture, and threw ink, stationery, books, &c., about the floor The Philodemic Society of Georgetown Col- lege intend celebrating Washington’s birth- day in an appropriate manner. The orators for the occasion are Mr. William Choice, of South Carolina, and Mr. Adolph Theguet, of Louisiana. The celebration will commence at 40’ clock, p. m. Both parties in our city are beginning to wax warm in politics. The election on Mon- day next, will, doubtless, be one of the most spirited ever held in our city. We think, however, everything will be conducted very orderly, as both parties seem disposed to frown down anything of an oppositecharacter. The Anties are very sanguine of electing their entire ticket by a wey decided majority. We would advise the butchers in our mar- ket, to look well to their lockers, and leave as little meat of any kind in them as possible. That of Mr. John Kessler, was broken open on Tuesday night, and robbed of some ten or twelve fine bacon hams. Spectator. Tue Ice Buocxape still hugs our harbors with the tenacity of a polar bear. At Balti- more, the Relief steamer has heen stationary off Fort Curroll for lack of fuel, but expects to get under way again to-day. The five steamers of Cromwell's line are lying all to- gether about a mile and a half below the Re- lief, and are working up slowly, having, with the united efforts of their officers and crews, succeeded in cutting some three to four miles of track. The Relief will work down until she meots these steamers. The ice is from 11 to 13 inches in thickness where the steamers are at work. It has broken away to-day for the first time, from Rock Point to North Point, and is moving over towards the Eastern Shore. A strong northweet wind weuld probably carry it down. At Philadelphia the longed north west- erly gales have not ly thickened the ice, but produced such low tides as to impede the passage of the ferry-boats throug] e chan- nels cut for them. When the rivor breaks u; and the frozen field begin to float, it will next to impossible for the steamers to cross— aud the obstructions will probably continue for several days. The “Jamestown” steamer left New York on Wednesday, with passengers and freight for Potersburg and Norfolk, and will come up only as far as City Point, on account of the ice in James River. Her regular trips to and from Richmond, of course, cannot be resumed as yet Norroux.—The eupply hausted at Norfolk, 7 of coal is nearly ex- On Sunday last the Rev D. P.

Ew Onueans, Feb. 20 —The Legislature of this State has passed an act Ttemoving Jo- seph Hufty, the: present incumbent (Ameri- can) of the Sheriffalty of New Orleans. The bill passed both branches of the Legislature by a strictly party vote, and has caused con- siderable feeling in this city. The position occupied by Mr. Hufty was claimed by Mr. Bell, the Democratic candi- date, on the ground that at the election in No- vember last, certain ballot boxes were won- tonly destroyed by a mob, which were alleged to have given a considerable majority for Bell who by the addition of those votes to the ones counted would have been elected. The District Court ruled the boxes in ques- tion out of the canvas, and gave the sheriffaity to Hufty, who is now removed by the Legis- lature. Arrest of a Supposed Murderer. Paicapairaia, Feb. 20.—B. D. Worrell, charged with the murder of a man named Gordon, in Missouri, was arrested last night in Dover, Delaware, by officers who tracked him thither. He goes west with them voluntarily without waiting for a requsition. He denies the com- mission ot the murder, but acknowledges that he was standing by at the time. The prisoner hed some saddile-bags, awateb, and blanket, which Gordon's brother-in-law ~ recognised as belonging to the deceased. The arrest was made at the house of Wor- rell’s father.

A temporary d fficulty about the location of the bridge has been raised by another corporation, to remove which in its present shape would cost more. than the exigency of the case justifies; it bas, therefore, been deemed prudent to delay the work for the present, but it will soon be resumed, and the bridge when finished will be one of the most perfect structures of its kind. Danceroi Psrrormasces.—The new “horse drama’? produced at the Mew York Broadway Theatre on Tuesday evening was interrupted by arather serious accident. A chariot and six horses while making a eatry on the stage was suddenly arrested by the crashing of the platform—two of the horses dropping through into thecellar. In the tilt- ing scene, a splendid horse, came full tilt to the footlights, and not meeting the e: check there from his opponent, pite! over them and fell upon the sharp iron spikes of the railing that separated the parquet from the orchestra. The poor brute was raised in great agony and borne off behind the scenes. The rider was not seriously injured, nor any of the audience, though some of those in the parquet were terribly frightened.
