ING STAR. Se = LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. New Gas Ceupaxy.—We have been shown the documents, Subscription paper, petition, &c., for the getting up of a new Gas Com pany tobecalled the “Mutual Gas Light Company of the cities of Washington and Georgetown,”’ shares twenty-five dollars each — not subject to assessment beyond said P ice it is also made a condition of the subserip- tion that the Company shall be based upon the mutual saving principle to the stockhold- ers thereof, in both price and quality of gas manufactured, and that said price shall not be to private consumers over $3 per 1,000 cu- bie feet, and to the use of the city not over $2.50 per 1,000 cubic feet. It also being an- ether provision of said charter that a discount shall be made to each stockholder upon his bill semi-annually for gas consumed, of two and a half per cent upon the amount of stock so beld by him, equalling five per cent. per annum dividend, in addition to the largest discount made to cash consumers who are not stockholders, and in addition to such divi- dends as shall be made from the earnings of the co iy. The stockholders likewise agree to use the gas of the company on their own premises for at least three years after said @ mpany is put in operation. The petition addressed to Congress repre- sents ‘That there is a general dissatisfac tion and well-founded cuuse of complaint pervading this cewmunity in respect to the poer quality of gas manufactured and dis- tributed to the public lamps and to_pri- vate consumers by the existing Gas Light Company, of this city—as also in respect to the large price exacted by said company for the gas supplied by them—as also in respect to the negligent and unsatisfactory manage- ment of the affairs of said company in its re- lation to public and private consumers. The undersigned, for these good and substantial reasons, respectfully pray Congress to grant a charter for a new company to build gas works and extend their pipes through the cities of Washington and Georgetown,” ete , etc. The movement seems to be undertaken in a business-like way, as if it meant something ; and we suppose the old gas company will feel it their interest to make an exhibit of their position, together with explanations of the grievances complained of, to show cause why the petition should not be granted. Fourru Warp Cuarittes.—The Visitin, Committee appointed by citizens of this war report that they have visited three hundred families and given relief to two hundred and twenty-one. They gave one hundred and seventy-two orders for wood, one-third of a cord each ; and one hundred and scventy-four orders for groceries, about two dollars each, making in all $395.11 expended in wood and $336.10 expended in groceries The amount collected was $758 45; there is, therefore, a remainder of $27.24. The committee also acknowledge from Mr. Washington Young a cord of wood, from Messrs. Pepper and Berry eighteen pairs of shoes for children, and from Mr. Silas Hill the gas on the occasion of Mr. Poore’s lecture in aid of the fund Of the two hundred and twenty one fami- lies relieved, about thirty or forty may be considered regular residents of the city, anda vast majority are strangers, who were entieed or invited hither by the demand for labor upon the public works, and thrown out of employment in poverty at the approach of winter. Inconclusion the commfttee repel the charge that the citizens of Washington are unable or unwilling, to take care of thesr own poor.

An inquest was held at the office of Paul Stevens, Esq , corner of Fif- teenth and F streets, by Coroner Woodward, and from the evidence before the jury there can be no doubt that the child was born alive and died from exposure or foul means. The child was wrapped in a fine white fJannel woman's under jacket. We are glad to learn that energetic search is being made for the perpetrators of the inhuman deed. Cases of infanticide are multiplying with terrible rap- idity, and are not likely to be diminished until justice is visited upon some of the trans- greesors. ~ Frest Roca Fisu_or Tue Season via THE Powsatay —ThegaMant old Powhatan breast- ed her way triumphantly through the ice down the river and returned to her moorings about half-past six o’cleck last evening. We learn that our neighbor, Mr. John Kirk- wood, who went down on the Powhatan, se- cured the first rock of the season—a handsome fellow of some fifty pounds weight—and which will be served up for the delectation of the of the Kirkwood House at dinner to- ay. Tar NataD Qugex.—This unequailed pa- geant is the tcpic of universal praise, and we hear on every hand approbation of its beau- tiful seenery, its gorgeous costumes, its ac- complished actors, and the phalanx of beau - tifal female warriors, who need no other Weapons save their own bright eyes To-night is Jeferson’s benefit, and we hope this meritorious comedian will have a “ bum- per.’ His “ ange fl last evening is spoken of ag a rare piece of good acting.

The ice on the river is fast decaying, and sanguine hopes are entertained of a speedy renewal of navigation. The steamer Powha- tan ploughed her way to Aquia Creek yes- terday, returning in the afternoon, and leav- ing an open channel in her wake. The Orange freight train ran into a wagon on Union street and completely demolished it; fortunately, however, neither horses nor driver were injured. The new Council bil), raising the salaries of the Mayor, Auditor, Superintendent of Po- lice. &c., is far from giving general satisfac- tion. The largely increased expenditures of the year past are said to be too onerous upon an already burdened community, and calls for retrenchment and reform are loud and earnest. Arun off on the Central Railroad delayed the Orange cars on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday an accident to the engine of the Orange train caused another detention. The Young Men’s Christian Association of our city are making preparations to give our citizens another intellectual feast in a lecture from John B. Gough. A number of our citizens, opposed to the present oath-bound oligarchy that governs our city, have called a meeting at the Kx- change Block, to-morrow evening, for the pur- pose of uniting upon a citizens’ ticket for the ensuing municipal election. The Know Noth- ing ems at the last city election was nearly six hundred, but it promises to fall slightly below that next Tuesday. Aut. Parisian Scanpau.—We find the following bit of gossip in a letter from Paris, about Miss Smead, tke celebrated Irish beauty, whose portrait was painted by Healey and exposed at the great Exhibition: Two years ago, when Miss Smead first came to Paris, the Emperer paid her marked at- tention. The consequence was, that when- ever afterwards Miss S.’s name was seen on Lord Cowley’s list for an invitation to a ball at the Tuileries, the Empress Eugenie was earefal to have the name stricken off. Miss S. received no invitation, and soon discovering the nature of the difficulty she conceived a violent hatred forthe Empress, and deter- mined to have her poids Se A few nights ago the Emperor and Empress Were present at a sotres at Lord Cowley’s. Miss Smead was also there The Empress passed through a room where Miss S. and other ladies were seated, and all rose as Her Majesty passed but Miss Smead. The Em- ress noticed the act, and felt the insult. Her Majesty has become notoriously irritable with- in the last few months, and every care istaken to avoid violent emotions. The good of the country, of posterity, of the world at large, but especially of the Bonaparte dynasty, de- ends upon it. An officer of the household of er Majesty approached Miss Smead and re- monstrated with her for her conduct. Miss S. replied that it was not the habit in England to rise thus for the Queen, and certainly she would not do it for the Empress of France. What passed between the Emperor and Em- press in another room, may be imagined, for soon Napoleon entered the room where Miss Smead was, and seeing her standing on the floor in conversation with a gentleman, he ap- proached them, and bewing coldly tothe lady, stepped between them, turned his back to Miss S., and engaged the gentleman in con- versation for some minutes. It must kaye been a great sacrifice for as polite a man as Louis Napoleon, and as great an admirer of beauty, but the interests of the dynasty mount above the caprices of the in- dividual.
