EVENING STAR ages inacsousns ans Tar River Question 1x Con —The President of the Senate laid before the body a communication from the Secretary of War, made incompliance with a resolution of the the 17th ultimo, calling upon him to commu- nica’e sny information in the Topographical Bureau concerning obstructions to the navi- jon of the Potomac river within the District of Columbia, and the expediency of measures for removing the same; which was ordered to be printed and referred to the Conimittee on the District of Columbia. [The Secretary transmits an elaborate re- port from the Topographical Bureau, showing causes of obstruction and means of removal, a brief extract from which is given. The obstructions to the navigation consist, in general, of an extension of flat lying in front of the city of Washington, dividing the river into two channels, and which, from the Nationat Tagatre.—Such a rainy disa- eeable night as was last night, generally throws a damper both on actors and audience, but Jefferson's jrresistable *‘ Pillicoddy’’ got every body in good humor, in the opening farce, and after that with sprightly charming Miss Agnes Robertson. in the following pieces, there was no flagging in the spirit ot the per- nature of the laws controlling and fixing the | formance regimen of rivers, must always remain, but To-night Miss Robertson appears a “ Bob Tebject to certain modifications, which artifi- | Nettles,’ and as Marian in ‘The Young cial works or time may effect. The existence of this flat dates as far back ag the existence of authentic surveys, and since 1809 has been taken advantege of to connect the Maryland and Virginia shores by means of a bridge. Awell known law exists in relation to all streams whose sides and bottoms are subject to abrasion. It is, in general terms, that the depth varies inversely as the width of the stream. Keeping this law in mind, we see in front of Washington there must neces- rily exist a shoal similar to an island, hav- ing distinctly marked channels on either side, or a general shallowness of water, admitting of no navigation whatever. This shoal or ob- struction has always existed, and the more completely and perfectly it divides the river the more distinct, well-defined, and useful will be the two channels formed by it. In fact, could it be elevated into an island, sub- ject to no overflow during high tides or fresh- ets, its effect would be still more beneficial, for the width of stream would be further re- duced and its ps fr correspondingly increased. The records of the river are not numerous, and do not extend back in an authentic form to beyond 1834, at which time a minute survey extending from Georgetown to Alexandria was made under Lieut. Col Kearny. The river was again examined in 1837 and in 1849, minutely surveyed from Georgetown to the Long bridge, &c. Assuming, then, that the extensive shoal in front of the city is necessary to their being any well-defined channel in this part of the river, only such modifications of its form will be alluded to as it is thought have been or may be caused by artificial means. he improvements indicated are a deepen- ing of the Georgetown channel opposite the a of the shoal extending from Analostan island, a general widening of the channel on the Washington side. and an increase of the volume of the water flowing through it The two improvements could probably be accomplished by the works now indicated, to wit : Ist. Remove Easby’s wharf and trim off the point, as this has a tendency to deflect the ourrent to the opposite side. 2d. Construct a cutwater at a suitable dis- tance above the Long bridge, its sides point- ing towards the two extremities of the cause- way. ard so placed that it chall regulate the quantity of water which it is desirable shall dow down each channel. 3d. Remove about two-thirds of the cause- way nearest to the Washington side, leaving only so much of it every hundred feet as may serve for piers or foundatiens for piers to a wooden bridge; thus, by giving an increased water-way, facilitating the free flow of water through that channel. 4th The Potomac being a tidal stream, re- more such shoals and widen such parts of the channel, both above and belew the bridge, as now tend to arrest the ascent of the tidal wave. The report states that no certain estimates can be given for improvements below the bridge, but that an approximate estimate can be made for Easby’s wharf. the cut-water above the bridge, removing portion of cause- way, erecting bridge to replace it, and the ne- cessary dredging at and above the causeway Actress.”’ Jefferson will do justice to the part - “Bob Ticket’ in ‘The Alarming Saeri- ice. DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS.—Our streets be- gin to bustle with celebrated circus perform- ers, who come to break a lance at .the ap- proaching tournament. We understand that several new entries have been made, and more coming. These Equestrian Fetes will be more attractive than any circus performance we have ever yet had, as the chivalry of the profession will be here tocompete. It is un- derstood that the whole affair will be arrang- ed after the style of a regularcircus, and that preparations for deciding who are the winners, will not be made until the latter end of the week. TriaL.—This morning Justice Daniel Smith was busily engaged in hearing the testimony in the case of the United States against a boy named Peterson A number of witnesses were sworn, andamong them twomagistrates Coun- sel was employed ai both sides, and they were iving the witnesses a very close examination he boy is charged with false swearing, but the case had not been decided when we left the office. Stoning Hovses.—Several men were charged last night with stoning houses. We hope they do not intend to enter into the organized bands accustomed to such conduct. Some of the gentlemen are wing old, and their children are apt to follow the example they set. We trust the fact that their actions are always known to the officers will prevent them from repeating the attack made last night, if respect for themselves and their families can- not. Circuir Courr.—Yesterday, the Court and jury were engaged in hearing the arguments of counsel in the case of Quantrill ws Kan- dour. It is an appeal, we learn, from the de- cision of a Justice of Peace, and excites con- siderable interest among those who congregate inthe court room. The case had not been decided when we left Cross Frrixe —This morning Thomas Beall, Mary Beall, and Henry Briscoe, were brought before Justice Clark. All were plaintiffs, and all defendants. Hee Aleie that they were in bodily fear of each other ; having been threat- ened, severally, with death, cracked heads, walloping, &e. All were ordered to give se- curity for peace. Rerricerators'—It seems almost a joke to recommend such an article with the tem- perature at the figure it is at thy present writing, but we may be sure theré is warm weather in store for us, and in order to be pre- pared for that contingency we do advise our readers to purchase gne of McGregors admi- rable refrigerators.

Mzetine ix tHe Seventa Warp.—At the adjourned meeting of the citizens of this ward held at Island Hail, on Tuesday evening last, to consider matters of general interest to the ward, George W. Garrett presided, and LK, Holmead wa3 appointed Secretary. A com- mittee, of which 5. Y. AtLee was chairman, Teported a series of resolutions in which earn- est and energetic grounds were taken against the proposed removal of the Long Bridge, and an able array of arguments and facts present- ed, going to show that the navigation of the tiver hed not been impeded by the Long Bridge, but that the impediments had e: d previous toitserection. The resolutions c that the Long Bridge affords the most conve- nient and the shortest reute between the North and the South ; that the distance from the city Post office in Washington to Alexandria is five and three quarter miles via the Long Bridge and ten and a half miles between the same points by the way of the “Three Sisters,’’ above Georgetown, and that any material de- parture from the present locality of the bridge must sacrifice the welfare of the greater num- ber for the benefit of the lesser. A resolution introduced by Dr. J. E. Mor- gn, was also adopted, declaring, on the expe- Tience of those residing in the ward, that the “flats’’ in the vicinity of the Leng Bridge Were not prejudicial to health. The crowded condition of our colamns lishing the resolutions in The subject of a market upon the Island was discussed, and the chairman was instruct- ed to confer with the Aldermen of that ward, and urge them to aid and facilitate the pas- sage of a bill through the city councils for that Tae Leap Year Parry comes off to-night at Island Hall.
