EVENING STAR. “LOUAL INTELLIGENCE Tar New Cestae Market Hovse —We have before us the report of Mr. Walker, from the select committee of the Council Boards, on this subject. 1t says that architect Ranlett has perfected the drawings, now to be seen in the Mayor’s office. It recommends the construction of the building independent of the current receipts (revenue) of the Cor- ration; and says: : _f. “The plan of the building, as originally submitted by Mr. Ranlett and adopted by the Corporation. contemplates the erection of a building, when complete, around the entire market space to the height of two lofty stories; the upper story in the centre building on Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues to com- rise @ magnificent hall, 498 feet front by 80 Ret wide, with spacious and ample ante- rooms; the upper stories of the wings on Sev- enth and Ninth streets, and that of the main building on the south. fronting the canal, to comprise accommodations for armories, the offices, &c. The committee do not re- commend the erection of the entire building at this time because of its capacity being far beyond the reasonable wants of the city for many years to come, but so much only as will meet present purposes, with a liberal view to the future. ais much they believe will be accomplished by the erection of the northern front complete and the wings on Seventh and Ninth streets to the window-sills of the sec- ond story, the principal story to be carried up to that point in accordance with the plans, and the completion of the ground plan entire, covered by the portions above-mentioned. — “In arriving at this conclusion the commi - tee have had careful examinations made of the number of persons attending this market during the months of September and October last, and find that the ground plan as laid down will be amply sufficient for the present and for several years to come, and to be sus- ceptible of increase to an extent sufficient for at least thrice our present population, at an expenditure for such increase of but a very small amount. The committee have caused to be prepared separate estimates for the build- ing. as follows: 1. For the entire building, according to plans and estimates .........+e0.+0+++$261,000 2. For the completion of the front building and the Seventh and Ninth street wings..++eesseee+++ $. For the completion of the front building, and the erection of the Seventh and Ninth street wings to the window-sills of the second story «+++ ecessceesceeee 250,000 The above estimate No 3 iz the one referred to in the above remarks, and which the cem- mittee propose to adopt It may be proper tu state, in this connexion, that there is nothing to prevent the Corporation at any time from continuing the building to completion, ac- eording to the original plan, whenever they may deem it proper; but the committee think it highly pedo to go no further at this time than they have proposed ; believing that with the erection of so much of the premises as is proposed, with the arrangement of the stalls and stands as exhibited on the ground plan, their ample size for the purposes for which they are designed, and the ample width of the main aisles and passages our people will be furnished with as convenient. comfort- able, and spacious market accommodations as ean be found in any city in our Union, per- haps in the world. In verification of this statement the committee invite a careful ex- amination of the diagram of the ground plan, herewith submitted ’ Reviewing the best means of raising the money to build the market honse, the com- mittee say: ‘* The committee therefore rec- ommend that the committee representing the interests of the city before Congress be in- structed to ask the power to issue the stock of the Corporation to an amount not exceeding $250,000 for this special purpose, at a rate of interest not exceeding six per cent, interest payable quarterly, and redeemable in not less than twenty years, and requiring the Corpo- ration to set apart the sales, leases, rents, &c., of said mises for the liquidation of said stoek and the payment of the accruing inte- rest thereon, or, in lieu thereof, the reteee: tion of an equal amount out of said proceeds of the present stoek of the Corporation; the provision to grant the power to contain the re- quirement to redeem the stock from the mar- ket fund. “It is believed that by this arrangement the twenty years’ stock will command a pre- mium nearly if not quite equal to its present rate—from 3 to 34 per cent—especially with the accompanying provision toretire atanearly day an equal amount of the present stock, which the Corporation has the privilege to do at par. “In reference to the means for the speedy redemption of an equivalent for this stock, the committee have said - that they entertain the opinion that the building can be erected and paid for within a reasonable time without the aid of the revenue of the Corporation.’ In arriving at this conclusion the committee have made inquiry as to the prices of market stalls and stands in the Northern markets, as well as their annual rent, and have aleo had in view the prices at which etands bave ehanged bands in those markets. as well as in our own, and are fully satisfied that a proper and fair price for the stallz and stands, with a reasanable annual rental, will produce the means for the speedy redemption of the stock or its equivalent; and they are grati- fied to say that the gentlemen hereto‘ofore alluded to as having favored the committee with a conference have no doubt of the result of this portion of the operation also When the prices of market accommodations in the markets of Boston, New York, and Baltimore are taken into consideration, and the prices at which they are held above their original cost for the right of possession, and the prices at which stands and stal!s have changed hands in our markets, and compare them with the prices paid for markct accommodations by our own dealers, which not only includes the rent. but the license to do business, it will at once be perceived that the revenue from the present market is scarcely a tithe of what it sould be, and it exceeds but slightly the annual cost to the Corporation.” The report concludes with an argument to show that the Corporation is not at present remunerated fairly for its market accommo- dations, and seems to justify the propriety of hereafter selling the stalls at prices as high as similar business accommodations sell for at the North. The select committee were the Mayor, Mr. Walker of the Council, and Mr. Pepper of the Aldermen. . The following joint resolution was made (in the Council Board) the special order for Mon- day next: 2 at resolved. fe , That the commiites rep- resenting the interests of the Corporation before Congress be, and they are hereby, ins‘ructed to ask the passage of alaw authorizing this Corpo- ration to ivsue the stock of the Corporation to an amount notexceeding two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, at a rate of interest not ex- ceeding six per cent., for the purpose of ena- bling it to erect a new building for the Centre Mazket, upon the condition that the sales, leases. rents, &e , of said building be ret the payment of the interest and the on of the principal thereof, or an equal amount of the present outstadiog six Per cent. steck of the Corporation. 300,000 Batt —Tho first annual ball of the Ameri- ean Hook and Ladder Company is announced for the evoning of the 10th of April. as will be seen by reference to our advertising col- ums. This company is composed of gallant oung men of the Navy Yard section of our city, and the pledge of the committee tomake “this one of the best balls of the season” Will co doubt draw together a large number of the belies and beauxs Aw Accrpext.—Mr. Thos. Kigsby, a wateb- ™an on the steamer Minnesota, at the Navy Yard, fell into the hold last night while at- tending to duty. His head was badly cut and an arm broken. He was doing as well as could be expected this morning. This is the fecond accident of the kind since the launch of the steamer, | Fret —About half past 12 o'olock last night ® fre broke out in the frame shanty on Twelfth street near the bridge, occupied by Dary Coates, a colored mat. The fire was extinguished by the Auxiliary Guards witb- Out muck trouble, [commosicarED. Mz. Everert’s Oration.—Mr. Editor: We have Just returned from the lecture of Mr. Everett, and now, while the patriotic emo- tions it inspired upon us in all their strength and fullness, the thought uppermost in our mind is, how good it would have been had all our countrymen been there to listen to the most eloquent tribute ever paid to “ the greatest of men.” Never did orator more deeply impress audience with the spirit of his theme. The place seemed to be sanctified by the spirit of the illustrious dead, and we could not but feel and sympathize with the remark of a beautiful creature who was near us in the crowd that was ing from the building at the close of the lecture, that ‘it was almost sacriligious to laugh or to jest in such a place after listening to the sentiments which fell from the lips of the lecturer.’’ This was the feeling of the great majority of the vast auditory. All felt as though they were returning from a pilgrimage to the tomb of Washington, and while every one paid his heartfelt tribute of admiration to the eloquence of the orator, there was no one whose heart did not beat with deeper devotion and grati- tude for the immortal “‘ Father of his coun try.” We trust that this lecture may be repeated in every part of our country, and that its no- ble and patriotic admonitions may be heard in every section where the heat and turmoil of party strife have aroused the angry pas- sions of our fellow citizens, and caused, fora time an obliviousness of the sacred lessons to be derived from the life and character of Washington. Yes! we would hope that the gifted orator may be able to repeat it to his countrymen of the North, the South, the East and the Wes‘. Nothing. surely, could be better calculated to heat the alienations, and assuage the bitterness of feeling which now so unbappily prevail amongst us. When his patriotic task shall have been accomplished, let his eloquent tribute be placed, as a fitting garland, upon the tomb at Mount Vernon; ard when he, too shall have been called from amongst us. let his name descend to posterity, coupled with the proud and ennobing title of “The Eulogist of Washington.’”’ E. March 27, 1856 Taz Weatser —Our Georgetown friend “B,” again favors us with weather items. He says: ‘‘ On the 26th, 28th, and 29th inst.. cold northwesterly winds have prevailed, causing the tides to be very low; on those days ice male. To-day, (29th,) between 9 and 10 a. m. the moon entered her last quar- ter." The following are our friends returns of the rarge of the thermometer for the past week, beginning on Saturday night (March 22) and ending at noon to-day: Morning.

Centre Market.—Although laboring un- der disadvantages at present, the principal market was very well supplied by the far- mers. butchers, fishermen, &c., this morning. There is but little water in the canal, and fishermen are obliged to get their fish to the market by other means. There was a good supply of hay at the stand, and wagons con- stantly arriving A large number of country wagons loaded with wood were also on the spot. The prices have not changed much during the week, and purchasers are very nu- merous. A New Wasuixeton Papgr.—Mr. William H. Hope, late our partner in the Star, and more recently of the Baltimore Republican and Argus, advertises in our columns to-day the prospectus of a Democratic weekly cam- paign Reece he propose to publish in this city. e has had great experience as a news- aper publisher; is perfectly reliable as a emocratic politician, and his heart and soul are devoted to the cause. These are three important prerequisites for the success of his new enterprise for which he has our sincerest wishes, as in all his business operations. Harp Lirge.—Yesterday a young man went to the office of Justice Morsell and complain- ed that his wife is a common drunkard; an annoyance to the community, unfit to have charge of young children, and a dead weight on his hands. He asked that she might be arrested and confined in prison, and proposes to pay the expense of her keeping. She isa very good looking female. well clad in very costly clothing, and would hardly be taken for the wife of a person whose wages are only $2.50 aday. Hard life this fora poor man! Corporation Cases, &c —Yesterday, Geo. and Adam Wentzell were arrested by officer Stoddart and taken before Justice Morsell. George for profanity; Adam for keeping a dog without license; and both for resisting the officer. Gecrge was fined $1 and costs for profanity, and ordered to give security for further hearing in the resistance case; Adam $5 and costs for the dog. and security for peace in the resistance case. Basurut Loneer.—Last evening while the Auxiliary Guards were waiting to be sent to their stations, a large good-looking young fel- low went to the station-house for lodgings, On opening the door and seeing the crowd, he left forthwith. The young. strong, but lazy seamp had been there before, but always wanted to go to the cells witkout giving his name or passing through the trial room. He is really proud, though poor. Nationa, Taeatre.—The performance of Macbeth last night was a triumphant success, both in the crowded house and in the hand- some manner in which the piece went off. To-night being positively the last night of Mr. Forreat’s engagement, and his benefit, the house will undoubtedly be filled to its utmost capacity. Forrest takes his world renowned character of Spartacus in “ The Gladiator.’’ Rossery at tak Nationay.—Prof, C. L Porter, of Washington College, had his room entered this moraing at the National Hotel be- tween the boursof half-past one and five, and his pocket book taken, containing two twen- ties on the Bank of Baltimore, and about five dollarsin change Legal investigations were instituted this morning We Lears thata private subscription ball is to be given at Munder’s rooms on Tuesday evening, April lst. A glance at the names of the gentlemen concerned in getting it up sat- isfies us that it must necessarily be a most successful and delightful affair. Mzetixe Rooms.—We learn that the Jack- son Democratic Association have rented the spacious rooms in the new building belonging to Mr. M. R. Combs situated on ihe Avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets, and they are being fitted up as permanent meeting rooms for the use of the aszuviation. Reap the advertisement of R. R.

BY HOUSE PRISTING’PELEGRAPH. taper Arrival of the Fulton. ~ New Yorn, March 29.—Thesteamer Fulton, from Cowes of the 13th, arrived here this forer noon with 72 passengsrs and $86,000 in specie. She left Havre on the 12th. ‘Among the pas’ sengers was Camden C. Dike, bearer of dis patches from the U. 8S. legation at Parie. The Fulton brings the second edition of the London papers of the 13th. . The Vienna correspondent of the London News states that she mystery of the recent im- proved relations between Austria and the United States has been cleared up: “An Austro-American co! roisl company is about to be formed, in order to open a direct trade between the two countries to import cotton and other products direct from Amer- iea, instead of from London and Liverpool as heretofore.” The writer intimates that a treaty of commerce between the United States and Austria will be concluded at ne distant day. Co'onel Hodges, the British representative at Hamburg, bad made representatious to the Hamburg Senate respecting the quantities of the amunition that had left that port for Rus- sia. An examination followed these reciama- tions, when it was proved that these supplies had in most instances been forwarded on ac- count of two houses of high standing in Eng- land, in which one member of parliament was interested The Times’ Paris correspondent states that on two points Russia makes ample concession, viz: the neutralization of the Black sea, with dismantling the fortresses, and the reconstruc- tion of the Bomarsand defences.

Sterling exchange Foreign News. The Cunard steamship Canada arrived at Halifax last night. By telegraph we have the following European news by her arrival : ‘The Collins steamer Atlantic arrived at Liverpool on the 12:h instant. Mr. Dallas, who was a passenger, immediately proceeded to the Adelphia Hotel, where a deputation of the American Chamber of Commerce presen- ted Lim a congratulatory address No excitement existed in England respect- ing American affairs. Nothing definite had transpired respecting the doings of the Pease Conference. All accounts agree on the almost. certainty of peace. Advices from Germany and Russia are of the same tone. It was gen-" erally rumored that the treaty of peace would be signed on Saturday All gifferenees, how- ever, are not yet adjusted ; al important disputes respecting the Danubian principali- ties and the Asiatic frontiers are left unde- cided as when the conference first met. It is rumored that the rectification of the territory and the adjustment of the unarranged differ- ences are to be referred to commissioners on the spot, as the re Sag ss prem details at hand are very incomplete, and the projected frontier is marked neither by stream nor mountain chain. Sardinia wiil not be Tepresented in this commission Despatehes from Berlin apd Vienna state that Prussia has been invited to send repre- sentatives to the Conference; that she ae- cepts ; and that Baron Manteuffel would leave Berlin on the 4th for Paris as her plenipo- tentiary. It Halsfield, the Prussian Minister at Pavis, would act as second plenipotentiary. The adwiesion of Prussia is suid to be pecially based on the ground that the discussion re- specting the treaty of 1841. by which the Dar- danelles were closed to chips of war, is to be begun forthwith. Mr. Palmerston refused in Parli:ment to answer Mr. D’Israeli’s ques- tion as to whether Prussia is invited or not He also refused to say whether Italian af- fairs are to occupy the attention of the Gon ference. THE LATEST. _ Lonpox, Friday.—-It is stated in weil- informed circles that Parliameni will probably be dissolved early in May.
