Ieee EVENING STAR. LocaL INTELLIGENCE. Lares Castine.—Thursday afternoon, the heavy casting intended for the water gates of the Washington Aqueduct, was made at El- lis’s foundery, on Ohio avenue, between 13th and 14th streets. The casting is twenty-two h, and weighs about nine thous- The metal was melted and ured in in about one hour and three fourths. This is believed to be the largest casting ever made in this District, except in the Navy Yard. A few days since a very handsome portable Saw and Grist Mill, with an engine of twenty horse power, was completed by the Hilis Brothers, and shipped for the owner, who re- sides in Georgia. It is of curious construc tion, and can be taken apart, refitted, and set to work in one hour We understand that this enterprising frm has, in additien to other work, turned out no less than twelve steam engines of different sises the last year, one of which, now nearly ready, is to stand in the large grist-mill of Messrs. Duncanson and Coltman on Ohio av- enue near Twelfth street; it is of eighty-horse power, and will compare favorably with any engine of the kind in the country. The suc- cess of those gentlemen gives satisfaction to al citizeas of Washington, and affords employment for a very large number of first- class mechanics. Persons wanting castings from the size of a needle upward, and machine work of any description, can be accommo- dated by the Ell at the shortest notice. Economy, beauty, and durability recommend them Tax Bartimone Annuat Conrerence of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, met yesterday morning at 9 o’clock in the Union Bethel Church, on M street, near Fif- teenth—Rev.

The Conference agreed to meet at 9 o'clock, a. m., and adjourn at 1 o'clock. Preaching every night at 74 o'clock in the Union Bethel, on street, and the Israel Church, near the Capitol. A Mawtitia Emporium 1x Wasnineton.— Something New.—Curiosity prompted us to visit the establishment of Messrs Maxwell & Bro., $28 Pennsylvania avenue, and we were eably surprised at the extensive variety of their stock of spring and summer Mantil- jas, of New York and Parisian designs, their second story being entirely devoted to that branch of their trade, and having the exclu- sive agency for this city, of an extensive New York importer and manufacturer of those beautiful garments, are thus enabled to keep up a constant supply of all the rare novelties in that line throughout the season. Their d opening is advertised to take place on Coes next, April 7th, and we bespeak for them a rush of customers, as their patronscan rely upon finding every class of Mantillas at prices ranging from $3to$30each. See their advertisement for a list of their new styles On their first floor they exbibit also their usual variety of embroideries, ribbons, lace goods, ladies dress trimmings, &c., &c. Calland see them. : Buretary —This morning between one o'clock and day light. the rooms of the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs, on E street, were entered from one of the parlor windows on the street. The burglar paased through the par- lor to the sleeping apartment, where the fath- er of the red man was reposing, and bore off the entire suit of clothes which the Commis- sioner had thrown off on retiring—and in a dition, an overcoat and an extra vest which fell in the way of the robber. A single $5 ld piece was in the vest pocket, but a wal- jet containing some very valuable papers, to the Commissioner, but of no use to any other person, wds in the pantaloons pocket, and is therefore in the possession of the burglar. The Commissioner expresges the opinion that this wallet and some few private letters which were in his coat pocket, being of no use to the burglar, will probably be returned to him. Jovexite Gaxes.—W hat can be done with the little fellows composing the gan, of “Terrierz,”’ ‘‘ Bricks,’ *‘ Mice,’ &c? It ay- pears that their parents cannot or will not restrain them. The cfficers dislike to arrest them, and if arrested it is very painful to the magistrates to send them to prison, where they mix with skillful thieves and old offenders. Cannot something be done to save those little boys, and prevent the inerease of crime. Dur- ing the past year little complaint has been beard of those fellows; but they are banding again, and, of course, houses have been stoned, children who will not associate with them beaten, and hen roosts, money drawers, and market wagons robbed. It is now time to be- gin with them. But where must they go? The company of old thieves will never reform them, and there is no prison where they can be kept to themselves, and taught to be useful. Scerexe Court.—Yesterday, Geo. S. Yer- ger, Esq , of Mississippi, was admitted an at- torney and counsellor of this court. No. 75 Theodore Adams et al , plaintiffs in error, vs Jonathan Salisbury et Iner ror to the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of California.

Crrccir Covrt.—Several cases of no great importance were disposed of yesterday.

The ves: ular Jefferson will also appear, and make him- self generally agreeable.

Market Tu1eves —This morning two boys named Andrew alias John Jones, and William Jeanes, were arrested for being concerned in stealing from Mrs Ann Miller, a pocket book containing a seven dollar note, a five dollar gold piece, and several one dollar pieces, and a quantity of small change not recollected — Another party had not mn arrested. The lady tried. but could find no officer to hear her complaints until the party had separated.— Jeans and Jones were taken by officer F. King, and sent to jail by Captain Birch.— These boys were evidently ‘old hands,’’ and were itinerating. A Successrut ‘‘Raiss ’’—A stationary en- gine of some two or three tons weight, was elevated yesterday tu its position on the top of the Capitol in about an hour’s time, without accident, under the superintendence of Mr. Robert Sleight. A large number of spectators watched its progress through the air to its dizzy landing place. The engine is designed to lower the stone and erials of the old dome, and to raise the castings &c., for the new one. Tue Bat of the American Hook and Lad- der Company on Thursday evening next, should not be forgotten by terpsichoreans, or the lovers of the fair sex, as an evening of un- alloyed pleasure will be enjoyed by all present. With the “ American” boys will ‘+ The bright and youthful daneers meet, With laughing lips and wing’d feet.”’ Breacues or THE Peace.—Yesterday, sev- eral very respectable ladies and their hus- bands were held to security for peace, by the Justices of the Peace. Threats and loud talks caused them to fear each other, and to prevent a general row this course was pur sued. The day previous several females were held to security by Justice Offutt. The arrests of all were made mostly by officers Stoddard and Parham. Centre Marxet.—This morning there was quite a crowd of purchasers, and a supply of provisions about sufficient for them. The gangways were often blocked up by the crowds. It was suggested that the inconveni- ence caused by these crowds might be in part revented if ladies would hold their meetings just outside the market line on sale days, or leave their baskets in the scale house till their conversations were ended. QuiTz a CrowD was collected yesterday in front of the Naval Monument in the Capitol rounds, gazing at some gutta percha mail fees. which were floating in the water, the design of the inventor being to demonstrate their capability of protecting mails from wet A placard affixed to the railing explained them to be “ Allen’s mail bags, full of papers.’’ Kipweuu’s Ick —We learn that the north- ern dealers in ice, owing tothe unusual mild- ness of the past winter, design increasing the rates for ice this summer, in view of its anti- cipated scarcity. Those who expect to want the article, had therefore better contract with Mr. Kidwell for their summer supplies, before prices go up. See advertisement. Nuisances —Several gentlemen have asked us to call the attention of the proper authori- ties to certain lots that might be prevented from becoming nuisances if attended to in time We'presume the authorities know all about heres lots as they have been complained of fore. Higuwayr Rousery.—A gentleman was knocked down a few nights since on the Cap- itol Hill, and a gold watch valued at $90 was stolen from him. His cries for help was heard by the guards, who ran to his relief, but the villains, four in number, hearing them ap- proach. decamped suddenly, taking with them the watch. Ipgxtirigp.—This morning, two axes, con- stituting a portion of the goods stolen by Bar- ton and Moody, who were convicted at the late term of the Criminal Court, and sentenc- ed to the Penitentiary, were ilentified by Mrs. Duvall as her property. Grace Caurca Farr —To-night is the last night of this interesting festiva’, and will doubtless be fully attended, as everybody must wish to purchase some memento to recall the delightful hours spent here during the continuance of the fair. Woop axp Coan.—During the past week the merchants on the canal have been receiv- ing wood and coal to replenish their stock. if the water continues at its present depth a week or two longer, the supply will be suffici- ent for prezent use. Our Gzorcetows READERS will find matter of interest in the advertisement of Mr. Hiram Wright. A ride behind a fast horse, in a good carriage, is one of the luxuries of existence, and we should say that Mr. Wright is just the man to enable oneto attain such a desirable good thing. Fire —The alarm last night was caused by a brilliant light in the direction of Rockville. {t may have been caused by burnin, woods, and has originated several alarms. The fire- men were out, but returned to their engine- —— after a long run in the direction of the ight. Taz City Dispatcu, we hear, is working to acharm, enabling correspondents to send tet: ters and obtain answers with almost telegraph- ic celerity.
