V ENING STAR. “Locab INTELLIGENCE. As ExrLanation.—Captain Birch publishes an explanation in the Lntelligencer this morn- ing, of the eireumstances under which he ad- mitted ——— Naylor to bail on bias J morning last. e insert itin the Star wit! great pleasure, as follows : Wasuinetow, April 14, 1856. e GaxtLeweN : An article baving appeare in one of our city papers of the 1]th instant reflecting upon me for taking the bailI did for Naylor, I will here state the facts as they occurred. Onthe morning of the llth in- stant, about one o’clock, a light was discover- ed in the shoe store of Mr. Forrest by Messrs. Mockabee and Elliott, members of the Aux- jliary Guard. When Mr Forrest came down Mr. Hoffer’s door was open and Mr Naylor was laying directly across the door-way, ap- rently very much intoxicated He was brought to the guard-house. I then sent for Mr. Hammack, who testified upon oath that Naylor was at his house after eleven o’clock very much intoxicated, and that he wanted more liquor, and he refused to let him have it. and requested the two persons who were with him to take him home, which they agreed todo, but before they started they took one more drink In less than two hours aiter this Naylor was found in the houze of Dr. Hoffer, as above stated. From the evi- dence of Mr. Hammack I was inclined to be- lieve that the two persons had taken Naylor into the house with them, and as they had to make a hasty retreat could not take him off. he being too drunk. I held Naylor to bail, believing I could not find anything against Atm, but that I might findout somothing about the two other persons. Young Demaine, who saw the persons. did not see Naylor with the others, and I supposed Mr. Demaine to be evidence for the United States, which was afterwards proved to the contrary. There was no evidence, consider- ing his condition, to conyict Naylor; and as far as the examination has gone no person in their testimony has mentioned Naylor's name. Soon after Naylor left I issued warrants for the other persons, and gave them to James W. Allen and Wm. Mockabee, who, upon arriving at Ray's house, about six o'clock, found Nay- lorthere They returned, bringing Ray and Crogan with them, and informed me of the fact, which created some suspicion in relation to Naylor, and cause me to issue a search warrant for Ray’s house; and had Naylor kept from Ray’s house it is doubtful if I chould have taken that course. And if the goods had not been found there was no evi- dence to hold either of the others, but the find- ing of the goods was the only evidence. J] also had Naylor’s house searched, and there was nothing found and no evidence that any thing had been there. James H. Bircu. The “city paper’’ referred to by Capt. B. is the Star. We have therefore to say, that a sense of duty to our fellow-citizens, sufferin so grievously ss of late from burglary an arson, impelled us to demand the investiga- tion into this matter for which we called. We knew a few circumstances neers | on the question of the propriety of the act of the Chief of the night watch in admitting Naylor to bail, with which that gentleman was evi- dently not familiar at the time, judging from the tenor of his card - First. That Hoffar’s is directly over both Hare's and Forrest's, and that Naylor was arrested 12 Hare's lack shop, lying nesr Hare’s (not Hoffar’s,) door—the premises of the latter being up stairs only. Second. We knew that Mr. Ferrest, and Mr. Thompson, upbolsterer, who Witnessed the ar- rest, believed Naylor’s drunkenness wholly feigned, as it turned out to be, and that For- rest had objected to the act of releasing him at that hour on such bail. Third. We knew that Naylor's character was notoriously as bad as that of any man in this community who had not beem in the pen- itentiary, and that the two men (Ray and Crogan) whom Hammack, in his testimony, said were with him at 11 p. m., (two hours be- fore Naylor's arrest.) had been under the sur- veillance of the police for some time. Fourth. We presumed that every one of Cap- tain Bireh’s force was well aware that neither Hammack nor Naylor were worth a dollar; and we did not see how Captain Birch, even if himself not aware of that fact, could have led to regard their having testified that ey were men of property, as sufficient to cause him to reject Hammack’'s testimony that Naylor's feigned drunkenness was real. Fifth. We heard that at the time it was in evidence before the Chief of the night watch that three burglars, at least, bad been passin to and fro, between Forrest's, Hare’s, an Hoffar’s, getting ready plunder; and that the means of getting from Forrest’s into Hare's was through an aperture in the partition sit- uated at a height from the floor making it impossible for a very drunken man to pass through it without being handed through it by the burglars who bad been using it Sixth We cone: ived that all who were in tLe watch house w aware, when Naylor was discharged on $500 worthless bail, that he was found in Hare’s baek shop when a burglary was being committed. Seventh We knew that the law, under which the Chief of the night watch assumed to bail Naylor under such circumstances, is as follows : ‘* Persons arrested may during the night be brought at once to the ‘‘guard-house,’’ or lodged in a “lock-up house,’’ at the discretion of the guard making the arrest; and in the morning shall be brought before a police magistrate of the city of Washington at as early an hour as may be convenient, in all cases before nine o'clock, a. m.; after which hour no person shall be detained in said guard- house without the authority of a magistrate. * But nothing in this Rule shall be con- Btraed to prevent the Captain, he being a Jus- tice of the Peace, from discharging the duty of such Justice in pressing cases of arrests made and brought to the watch-bouse, and rece ving such fees therein as are allowed by law; but he shall not act as a Justice in any other cases We make these explanations that the com- muuity may understand that in criticising the act of Captain Birch we were ex wholly by & proper sense of duty to the public. Masoxic Forsrat.—The members of Fed- eral Lodge, No. 1, accompanied the remains of their deceased brother, Arthur Lunt, to Alexandria, yesterday, together with mem- bers of other lodges, and a long procession of relatives and friends. The procession was marshaled by @. A Scharzman,@.M G. L., with Josiah Essex, of Federal Lodge, Master. The pall-bearers were S. P. Hoover, J W. Boteler, A. G. Hall, Charles C. Mills, John A Calvert, and F. A Magee. Weber’s ex- cellent cornet band, with their new instru- ments (turning over the shoulder,) officiated on the cecasion. Tho steamboat George Page took the funeral party to Alexandria, and there it was met by Washington Lodge, with members of Andrew Jackson Lodge. The procession then —— to the pleasant rural cemetery of the old Methodist church, where the solemn Masonic burial service was read by Rev. Mr. Hildt, of the Methodist Church, and W M. Smith, of Lodge Mo. 11. The hearse used upon the occasion was the beautiful one lately constructed by Mr. A. Buchly, who had charge of the funeral ar- rargements Tus Berewars sot atu Anrestep.—We learn that last night the store of Mr. Samuel Pamphrey, corner of Four-and-a half and N streets south, was entered by burglars. They first attempted to break the door, but failing they obtained entrance by nen the fas- tenings of the side window. They obtained a jot of shoes, pocket knives and cents, other money being locked in an iron safe. This is the same store which has been robbed several times during the last fall and winter, several «mall boys were caught in the act last winter, but were let off becaase of their youthfulness. This latter robbery is evidently the work of older and very strong persons There has Leen no clue to the robbers obtained as yet. Assavir.—Last Saturday, Officer H. T. L ison, was arrested by Officer Yeatman, for an assault on Lieut Maxwell Woodhull, in the cireus, on that afternoon. Mr. Wilson is ‘® county officer, and was employed atthe cir “Cus to preserve order. He produced no wit- nesses at the examination before Justice God- pen who held him to bail for his sppearance court Prawe-Smap Dinner at Hovsz —We stepped aboard the fine steamer Thomas Collyer, on Friday morning last, and were soon gliding down our bright and beau- tiful Potomac as one of a merry and happy party of about forty gentlemen to partake of the luxury of a plank-shad dinner at the White House, prepared by that prince of ca- terers, the obliging Coke. The weather was delightful and charming. The skies were robed in their brightest hues, and a gentle southerly breeze prevailed during the day. The tiny waves that played upon the bosom of the waters, so long and so recently bound in icy fetters, seemed, when kissed by the sporting zephyrs, as if exulting in their re lease from imprisonment. The picturesque banks of the Potomac, so lately mantied with snow, were donning their garb of green, and en spots on either shore were just blush- ing into verdure and beauty. There were on board about eighty persons, (mostly ladies,) on a pilgrimage to the sacred shades of Mount Vernon, at which point the boat stopped, thence proceeding to the White House. Arrived at the place of our destination, the first object which attracted attention was a seine-haul, vpwards of sixty handy fishermen being emp. »yed in the operation. A touch of romance was added to the scene by the me: songs of the fishermen as they blended wil the music of wind and wave. The haul was very meagre, owing to the backwardness of the season ; and we sincerely wish our friend Burke “better luck” next time This land- ing is regarded as one of the best shad fish eries on the Potomac and rents for $3,000 per season. The seine thrown out is about a mile in length and forty feet in depth. In due time dinner was announced, and the company repaired to the bounteous table, with appace whetted by the invigorating air. Of the virtues of a planked shad we will not write, for fear of becoming prolix. Suf- fice it to say that, as ‘“‘done up” by Coke, with the usual e¢ ceteras, it is inex ressibly delicious, as every one present on that occa- sion will testify. Two of the Maryland Con. gressional delegation, and several prominent citizens were at the festive board, but thero was no speech-making. The return of the boat, and the declining sun, admonishing the arty that it was time todepart. We missed rom the festive board the venerable form of our esteemed friend, Philip Otterback, Esq , whose smiling countenance has brightened the seehes of similar social enjoyments, but whose delicate health prevented him from be- ing present on this occasion. May returning Spring bring healing on her wings to impart new vigor to his body, and spare him for many years to his family and friends. The party returned to the Washington wharf about 8 o'clock, p. m , delighted with ajl the incidents of the trip, and bearing to their homes the most pleasurable remem- brances of it We take thie occasion to tender to Thomas Parker and William T Dove, Esqs., under whose immediate direction the entertainment was provided, our congratulations upon the admirable manner in which the whole affair was conducted. Agrest ror Swinpiixg —On Saturday, a young man named Geo. Watson, alias Smith, was arrested by Officer Hartover and taken before Justice Goddard for obtaining moncy, amounting to sixty dollars, from the fon. Jas. Knox on the 30th March last. ‘The means he used were letters of recommendation from —— in Mr. Knox’s district On Saturday e tried the same game onthe Hon. J. 0 Norton of Illinois, and Mr. Knox hearing it had him arrested. Upon searching his person letters of a similar character were found and evidence which the Justice took as proof of his being a general swindler. He was sent to jail for court. He is a well-dressed young man, light complexion, delicate in appear- ance, and had on a pair of blue spectacles when arrested. Onpmans’ Farr at Carusi’s SaLoon —The great crowd of persons attending this Fair has prevented a great many disposed to pa- tronize it from doing so, and the ladies, “ fore- most in every good work,’’ have consented to continue it for another week—closing on Sat- urday night The fair, for the past week, has been weil patronized, and we hope they may be entirely successful in their effort to aid the fatherless. The orphan never appeals ia vain to the charitable, and we feel assured that our citizens wil!, on this occasion, con tinue towards them the liberality so charac- teristic of them. Waite Tue Late Boreuaries.—The examination of Bailey and Demaine is postponed until to- morrow. The officers are still on the alert for the arrest of Naylor and other members of the gang. In the opinion of the officers only a ortion of the gang has thus far been taken he robbery of Mr. Paumphrey’s store directly on the heels of the late arrests, shows the au- dacity of the villains. With evidences before us of such a wide spread and extensive or- nization for purposes of arson and pillage, it will be well for our citizens to keep the closest wateh on their property Fires.—The alarm at an early hour Satur day night was caused by a bonfire in George town. There was an indication of a riotous disposition ag the firemen were passing through the Second Ward, but it was speedily quelled by the interference of Capt Birch and anum- ber of the Auxiliary Guard. The alarm at one o'clock on Sunday morning was caused by the burning of a stable in an alley between Third and Four and-half streets, nearthe Av- enue. It was the property of Mr. P. W. Browning The alarm yesterday afternoon was caused by clouds of smoke in the Fourth Ward, caused by a burning chimney, we are informed. More Storen Property Discovsnep.— Officer Goddard, to-day, went with a search warrant, made out on vath of Chas Lawson, to the premises of John Ray, on Fighteenth street, to look for some wheels and axles, and found one wheel in the yard of the blacksmith shop, which was identified by Mr. Lawson, before Justice Stevens, as his property. Christopher Northess identifies, at Justice Hollingshead’s office, a saw and chisel taken from Demaine’s house. Devecates To THe City Convention.—At a meeting of the citizens of the Seventh Ward, o _ to the Know Hone party, held on ‘3 ursday evening, April 10, 1856, the following gentlemen were chosen delegates to the City Convention to a select a candidate for Mayor at the ensuing June election, to wit: Samuel Taylor, W. rg Flood, J. Espy, John T. Cassell, and John Pettibone. Coupnaints —We hear many residents of the Second Ward complaining of dangerous dogs let loose at night We have heard of persons attacked by them, but of no one that has been injured by them If means could be used to stop the howling of some of those animals, the residents there would be well satisfied. We are informed that the dogs serenade various neighborhoods every night. Fuxgrat or ax Opp Fettow —Mount Nebo Encauipment and Washington Lodge are out in funeral procession this afternoon, convey- ing to the tomb the remains of their deceased brother, Edward Godey. — Warcu Retvrxs.—There was but a single ease for trial at the guard-house, yesterday— Ellis Robbins, vagrant; dismissed by Justice Stevens. This morning, no cases for trial, and lodgers few. —_—-—__—_ Destructive Fire 1 Bostox.—The Gerish market building, at the junction of Portland and Sunbyry streets, in the North End, was entirely destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon. It was a large brick structure, siz stones high, and was occupied, the lower floor as a domes- tic market, the second only as the Faneuil Hall market. The upper stories were occupied by Messrs. Sanbern, Carter & Bazin, book pub- lishers, who employed sixty hands, and whose loss is $40,000 ; Bernard & Dillingham, furni- ture manufacturers; A. & M. Lane, piano forte makers; Mrs. Ballet, sewing machines - Boyce, Shore & Uo, painters, and others, George W Gcrish was the principal owner of the building. The loss is about $150,000, one- half of which is covered by insurance. The falling walls crushed two adjoining buildings, The steam fire engine was tried at this fire and proved very efficient. 1” Te Editer its, amdthe Pab- BR 5 enn bes mig to contract debte « fany nature, nor to sign auy paper, note, or obligation in the na our firm, excopt Dr. Sach whe has had ths solepower and cous i of w! reo! 5 Op Ie" Deamatm £00, 2% South eth stzegt, DIED, This morning, the 14th bey o'clock, INO.

To-night the Know Nothings of Alexandria county assemble in convention at American Hall to agree upon candidates for the county offices. We hearthat the following names will be before the convention: For Sheriff— H. L. Monroe, James A. English, Col. C. L Suttle, B. T. Plummer, and Alfred Maddox. For Commonwealth’s Attorney—C E. Stuart, S. B. Taylor, and T. M Monroe. For Gom- missioner of Revenue—P. C. Claughton, Capt. Geo. Duffey, and Wesloy Avery. For County Surveyor—Dr. W. H Frasier and W. T. Powell. For Constables, first district—James 8. Riston ; fourth district, G. T. Hagie The M.unt Vernon Guards, desirous of fit- ting up their armory, procuring camp equi: cae ae call upon Tadies to poe them by a Mayfair. That the ladies of Alex- andria, never weary in well doing, will re- spond warmly, we are sure. This appeal has @ more than ordinary claim. The Guards roused the martial spirit of our town, after a sleep of years, and often times since they have sustained it alone. During the dark days previous to retrocession, they were the nucleus of public spirit, and many a day hallowed by glorious memories, would have passed unheeded, but for the familicr rat-a- tat-taofthe Mount Vernon @uards In better = times, they have been the leaders in every pa triotic move: Ball room or bivowae, equal alike in drilland qua-dri/le The ladice will not forget their defenders; and some time next summer, the green slopes of the valley, near Winchester, will be whitened by such snowy tents as ovuld only come from the belles of Beil haven, to their gallant brothers that guard Mount Vernon. x Among the prizes at the recent drawing of the Cosmopolitan Art Union, we notices it. ing, ‘‘ Massacre of the Innocents,” awarded to our fellow-citizen, Chas.
