t ST A R. Tar Exoisn Opara.—The sale of seats for MARRIED, : POR SALB AND RENT; ~ INTELLIGENCE. th ScAL Tue Case OF Ww. Wetts —The Supreme yesterday delivered its opinion sustain- ing the decision of the Circuit Court. i, Se years ago, it will be remembered, Wells was convicted of marder in this city snd sentenced to be hanged, but was pardoned President Fillmore on condition that he be imprisoned in the penitentiary for life. A ear ago application was made to the Circuit ourt for his discharge under a writ of habeas corpus, the prisoner's cousel, Charles L. Jones, assuming the broad ground that the pardon js absolute and the condition void. The court, however, refused the application and re- manded Wells to the penitentiary, when the case was taken to the Supreme Court on an al se sterday morning Justice Catron deliv- ered the opinion of the court sustaining that of the Circuit Court, saying that the condition of the pardon was not the exercise of a new power, but merely a substitution of one pun- jsbment for another, and arguing that the pardening power must be understood as it ex- jsted in England and in these colonies prior to the formation of the Constitution. Justice Curtis and Campbell concurring, said it was understood as assuming that writs of error in criminal cases not being permissi- ble to the Supreme Court, it has no jurisdic- tion in the premises, and therefore the case should be dismissed Justice McLean, dissenting, argued thatthe example of England in matters prer ive was not applicable in this country, the Exec- utive being confined to positive law, in the absence of which, in this case, the conditional jon was not sustainable. It was the ex- ercise of a new power Onruans’ Fair at Carvsi’s Saroon.—The Fair for the benefit of St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum, which is now in succeseful operation, bas been got up with much care and good taste by the indefatigable bg ecu s of this praiseworthy institution. hen we have bad an opportunity of examining, we shall endeavor to speak more minutely of the va- riety of elegant, chaste, and beautiful arti- cles displayed. In the meantime we will say that each Catholic congregation of the city is represented by ite respective table; the va- rious articles prepared the orphans occu- pying the extreme end of the room. Thereis a post-office for the transmission of unsealed jetters that may be deposited ; and those de- sirous of learning what fate may have in store for them, can at the same place consult the oracle, or “Fortune Teller.” An interest- ing paper entitled the ‘“ Fair Offering,” will also be distributed through the Post office. The orphan girls of St. Vincent’s are expect- ed to be in attendance at the Saloon thie af- ternoon and early evening, and we hope to see their hearts gladdened by numerous and lib- eral patrons. Tus Cincus.—Messrs. Spalding & Rogers are reaping the prolific harvest that their en- terprise merits in bringing together nearly all the star riders and gymnastics of the age. Such large and enthusiastic audiences have never before frequented any circus in this eity. Robinson, Hernandez, Magilton, Dun- bar. Donaldson. Umar and Libby, are the ebief favorites, although all the others have their sympa’ bisers. . To-night is the first night of a troop of trick ponfes ; of the great equestrian allegory with which Mr. Hernandez created so great a sen- sation before the Queen of England. and of an irresistibly laughable,equestrian burletta, by Dunbar and Donaldson, adapted from the French. AporwECABIES’ AssoctaTion —The apothe- caries of this District, we are glad to see have organized themselves as ‘‘The Apothecaries’ Association of the District of Columbia,” de- signed to protect the interests of the commu nity and of its members. The qualifications for membership render essential a previous education in the practice of pharmacy for a period sufficient to acquire a fundamental knowledge ¢f the profession A bill has been drafted for the action of the City Councils to carry out these protective features in their constitution, and they intend +» apply to the present Congress for a charter. We wish the sssociation every success Tue Armory —Those of our citizens who furor the military associations will be glad to learn that the workmen are engaged in pre- paring the ground for the erection of the new armory The work was commenced on Tues- day. at the site first selected on the mall be- tween Four-and-a-half and Seventh streets. itis a spot that ean be made to answer all the purposes proposed. No doubt a sufficient space will be laid off for a handsome parade ground, which will be an acquisition to our volunteer regiment and companies A proper place for regimental drill and parade is what they have swod in peed of and desired for many years. Prizes ror tae Moustep Grarp —Call- ing at Keyworth’s splendid jowelry store last evening, we were shown the valuable prizes to be contended for on the 23th instant by the members of the President’s Mounted Guard. A large silver pitcher and two silver cups, ef exquisite workman-hip and beautifully orna- mented, and a very beautiful cameo breastpin and ear-rings to match. Those articles were all manufactured at Keyworth’s warerooms, aad reflect great credit upon the skillful me- ebanics of our city. Fixe Orsrers.—Our friend Reynolds. of the El Dorado, on Pennsylvania avenue, next to the United States Hotel, is constantly in the receipt of very fine oysters, which he serves up in very fine style. We notice, too, that his supply of the game of the season is always ample and in fine condition, and in great variety. Those who really love good eating should surely give him a call. Court oy Cuaims —Yesterday, John V. L. Pruyn, Esq., of Albany, New York, wassworn aa attorney of the court. Hon R. Johnson concluded the argument in the case of Gibbons and Kelly vs the United States; and the case was submitted Testimony was ordered to be taken in the case of Lydia Frazee. administratrix of John Frazee, vs. the United States, claiming com- pensation due the said John Frazee as archi- tect and superintendent of the New York cus- tom-house. The court adjourned. _Pickpockets Azour —About 12 0’clock last Right a gentleman of this city was accosted on the street by a person with heavy black mus- taches, who feighed to be a Frenchman, and whose design was apparently to make a raise by means of a slung shot, or some weapon of thatdescription. Tue fellow, however, sheered of suddenly on discovering that his intended m was fully posted up as to hie mancu- res, and that he wae likely to get more kicks than coppers. Ruwaway —A horse, attached to a dray, started on D, near Eleventh street, about 124 o'clock to-day, and caused considerable con- fusion on the avenue. A lady, in attemptin te get out of danger, fell on the street, ani was injured. She was taken into Tate’s lace store, where she remained until able to depart.

Potomac Bring —The selection of a site for a bridge across the Potomac, which has so often been discussed by Congress, has recently been before the Senate. Fircre is certainly considerable importance attached to the prop- er location of a bridge, which is to connect the railraad and other travel between the North and South. Many things are to be con- sidered, many important points should be discussed and thoroughly understood. before a correct opinion can be formed. First, the interest of the residents of that portion of the city called the Island, who feel that to remove the bridge would be injurious to them, should have itsweight We think the bridge of little importance to them, the travel passing through leaves but little for their benefit. Hach part of the city has its particular local advantage. The Island has a very important one, which appears to have been entirely overlooked. This, if properly attended to, would sustain the Island far more than the travel through it to or from a bridge—it would concentrate the business connected with wharfs, storage and the marine, and make it an important part of the city To effectually cyscnd tees this the canal should be converted into a large covered sewer, except where the street gutters require openings with traps to receive the water during rains. This would effectually get rid of all unpleasant smells, and by every heavy rain wold be thoroughly cleansed. The ground a by the present canal will sell for more than would be required to make the sewer or sewers in the most sub- stantial manner Two or more sewers may be required, as the surface of the ground is not much above tide water, and the round form for sewers is most durable and kept clean by the least quantity of water passing through them. The canal is only valuable as a drain; itis considered injurious to health, and has always been a source of considerable expense. The supposed advantage of lumber and fuel being furnished cheaper on the canal than when purchased on the Island shores is an error; onthe canal the cartage is added, so that in reality the people at large are not benefited. If the residents of the Island will look properly into this they will see their local advantage. Some day this will be realized, bridge or no bridge. A connection of roads where steamers are required to cross rivers are always liable to obstructions from ice and freshets. and the mails delayed sometimes for days. When there isa location wherea bridge can be placed at comparatively small expense, built of brick, stone, and cement, which will last for years, we think it should be used. The bridge is wanted to carry the mails and afford a passage to the farmers of Virginia to the cities of Washington and Georgetown. The mere connection between Alexandria and Washington can be, as heretofore, by steam- ers, or if they please, by railroad ; if the dis- tance by rail is greatest, speed is decidedly in its favor, and the expense may be the same Congress have always been liberal to Wash- ington. What has been done, could only have been done by their aid ; therefore it is the in- terest of the citizens to see that the money we pray Congrees to grant for improvements, is absolutely necessary, and sot of a tem- porary character, continually re uiring addi- tional appropriations. The bridge bas long been an expensive affair, and is likely to be- come more 80. Every time the subject is agi- tated, Congress feel that the appropriation, when granted, is only for temparary relief What bas already been expended would have placed a permanent bridge at the head of navigation Georgetown has a right to her navigation interests, and should be considered. It mat- ters not to us or our interests whether that portion of the Potomac is bridged above George- town or below, or the location be known as the Teuth Ward of Washington or George- town, the interest of the community will be the same. To secure a good sbip channel along the shores of Washington to Georgetown, is practicable at a less expense than is gener- ally expected. lt. GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Groreetown, April 10, 1855. The congregation of the Bridge street Pres- byterian Church have unanimously extended acallto the Rev. John Bocock, of Virginia Mr. Bocock, if we are not mistaken, is a bro- ther to one of the representatives of the Old Dowinion, now in Congress. The mild weather of the last few days has considerably increased the supply of fish at our wharves, which is now fully equal to the demand. Shad are selling at $lla$12 per hundred, and herrings at $7a$7.50 per thou- sand The Spring being now fairly open, we would advise our business men generally, who may wish the public to know where to find them, and the character of their business, to seek the columns of the Star as the medium for im parting this information. The Star has be- come the paper of Georgetown. Every body reads it, from the humble occupant of the cottage to the lord of the stately mansion. Business upon our eanal is tolerable brisk as yet, however no boate have arrived from Cumberland. The whole amount of flour which has come in by this thoroughfare since Saturday Jast will probably reach 15,000 to 16,000 barrels. The flour market sine our last has been tolerafile brisk. Some 1,500 barrels have changed hands at $6 874a$7 for standard ex- tra brands. The market closed firm yester- day afternoon. Wheat $1.45a$1 50 for red, $1 50a$1 60 for white. Spectator. ee Drs. Hunter & Williams, Physicians for Diseases of the Lungs, 52 North Charles street, Baltimore. The practice of Drs. Hunter & Wittiaus is confined exclusively to the treatment of Chronic Diseases of the Throat and Lungs by Medicated inhalation, and the success that has attended their labors is sufficiently well known. It has demonstrated not only that Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh and Granular Sore Throat may be permanently cured but that Consumption in all its stages is acurable disease, and that the direct application of remedies, by means of inhalation, to the seat of the malady, instead of giving them by the stomach, (always overtaxed and delicate in these diseases,) must hereafter be regarded by the profession as the only rational and soien- tific mode of treatment. Parties unable to visit the city may be treat- ed by correspondence—medicine, instruments, &c., being sent to them by express. Inorder to obtain a proper statement of sach cases, a form of questions has been prepared, which will be forwarded by letter. = Dr. Hoster or Dr Witutams will visit Washington on the 12th and 29th of each month.
