EVENING STAR. ee LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. - Tae Wasuixeton Asrtum.—With a few friends we had an opportunity yesterday of visiting our old friend J. R. Queen, Esq , at his new home in the asyl We are well satisfied that the unfortunate poor will not murmur against the new Intendant; his gen- erous disposition will not allow him to see the suffering poor under his charge want atten- tion All that can be done by him to make their condition comfortable, will be done. With the inmates of the workhouse depart- ment he will not be so popular. These are sent to suffer for offences against the muni- cipal laws, and they abhor the constraint they are obliged to suffer. Frequently prisoners have escaped from the workhouse; but the new Intendant has adopted a plan to secure them and save their labor without keeping them in irons a dead expense to the Corpora- tion. The ap; the grounds is beau- tifal now, corms oe to go to work to rove << ns by his own means. It is rather astonishing that the building can be kept so clean, where so many rough and careless creatures are confined. Hands are wanted at the farm; there is work for them to do. Just previous to the election, it was icy to keep the male or working hands out. Yotes were in demand ; but now that thenew police entered upon the discharge of duty, we may expect to bear that Mr ‘tees bas hands in plenty. He bas our best wishes for suceess in his arduous undertaking Nationat Taeatre.—To-night there will be great times at the National. The Scott Guards take a benefit, and have got up a Lill which they think should fill the house. The Performances commence with ‘‘ The Warlock of the Glen ;"’ to be followed by singing and dancing; to conclude with ‘Yankee Jack, or the Floating Beacon ”’ Professor Esputa has kind!y volunteered the services of his band, consisting of eighteen musicians, who will perform some favorite pieces. . All who desire a rich treat should certainly be there, as they may enjoy the pleasures of both the theatre and the concert. Give the Guards a bumper. Our amusement seekers will, of course, avail themselves of to-night and Monday nights pertormances at the National, being the last of the season. On Monday night, bear in mind, Mr. George Kunkel takes that grand testimonial benefit Tse Weatser.—Our Georgetown friend “B.,” again favors us with the range of the thermometer for the past week, beginning at noon of Saturday, June 7, and ending this morning : Morning.

Tse Excursion on board the steamer Pow- hatsn to Piney Point, to leave Washington en Thursday evening next, will be a great affair in its way. Those concerned in the manage- ment of the Potomae river line to which the Powhatan belongs, are famous for getting up sueh entertainments in the most able way. The trip will cost very little (see ad- vertisement), and those going on it will surely enjoy @ surfeit of dancing, fishing. salt water bathing, and all the other aquatic luxw: for which Piney Point is so renowned. e advise all who can spare the time to go upon this excursion. They will be home again by sunrise on Saturday morning, after remaining at the Point all day on Friday and until 11 p.m. of that night. Be sure to procure your tickets early. — Tuz Arrenrion of the District reader is called to the advertisement of the Philadelphia Farmers and Mechanics’ Insurance Company. It enjoys great popularity at home on account of the business habits of all its managing men, its substantial means, and the cheerful- ness with which 1t discharges its obligations. ‘The Hon. Thomas B. Florence, its so popular president, has established an office in this city, at which he may be found in person. We advise those desiring insurance to give him a as he is one of the District's best friends in Congress, and, withal, universally respected and warmly regarded by our fellow eitizens. His company will surely do a large business here. Taz Porice —We understand that the out- going police take exception to the communi- cation of the Mayor to the Circuit Court, and claim that the blame for the cscape of Essex should attach to the county officers who were present at the time of the rescue, and not to; the police cflicers who were nut. We think it could with justice be replied that if the police Were not present they shou/d have been. The Chief of Potice was certainly on a oe atthe time of the arrest, and ately after the escape, but we have yet to learn that any steps whatever were taken by the police to follow the fugitive. Maxweut & Bro., proprietors of the Wash- ing closk and mantilla emporium, have 2 made very large additions to their stock of mantillas. Their increasing trade in that line, and their arrangements with the New York importers and manufacturers, enable them to keep an extensive assortment of those beautiful garment throughout the entire sea- son. They now devote the entire second story of their establishment to that branch of their trade. They advertise new summer styles of mantillas in to-day’s Star; also rich embroi- deries, ribbons, ladies’ dress trimmings, &c , &c. Call and see them, ladies. Kuxaway—Yesterday afternoon, the om nibus belonging to the National Hotel was seen passing down C street to Sixth without poe ordriver. Whennear Pumpbrey’s ivery stables, the horses attached turned to- wardsa number of coaches standing in the Street, and, but for the activity cf a person who rushed cut and seized them, considerable damage would have been done; agit happened the damage was light. The occurrence proves the danger of leaving horses in the street with hy one to attend to them. Tue Cowwtssioner of the eastern wards was busily engaged, yesterday, with a num- ber of hands, who were om ed in repairing dangerous portions of the streets in the Fifth and Sixth Wards. This attention to business will gain for him the applause of th men who have the interest of the city in view. The early impro' tof those dangerous spots shows a disposition on his part to work {vr his salary, and not take pay for neglecting bis duty. Court or Cuaims.—Yesterday, Judge Sear burgh delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Gibbons vs. Kelly on the facts. Fevorable bill was ordered to be reported. Juige Blackford dissenting in respect to the amount allowed. Mr. Stuart resumed the argument in the case of Mary Reeside, executrix, &c , and con- ‘ioued until the court adjourned. Cuanau op Prace —We learn that the con- gregation worsbipping at Wesley Chapel have engaged the Fifth street Trinity church, late Congregational church, and will bold their <ervices there while their chapel is rebuilding. Workiwen commenced yesterday pulling down the eld chapel, and the work will go speedily en until the handsome new fabric shall have taken its place. Tue Last Cuaxce.—The closing sale of th he collection of pictures, over Farnham’ takes place this afternoon Having given them some examination we take pleasure in saying that they are really achoice collection, and well worth the attention of lovers of art. Inox Hatt.—We learn that the magnificent Pauorama of “ China and Japan Ilustrat pu be on exbibtion next week at Iron Hall. ‘Tae Cencxar Court commences its June term on Monday, the 16th instant. 204, en by Arnold & t..

The untimely death in California of our former fellow-citizen Mr. James King, of Wil- liam, has been the subject of universal regret ever since the sad intelligence reached his friends by mail on Thursday.

The vexed question of the rate of mer- chants’ licences, which has been the cause of much excitement for a week past, and occa- sioned some half a dozen extra sessions of the City Council, was disposed of toward the latter portion of the week by a compromise, and tbe revenue bill passed intoalaw. The clerk, with a number of assistants, are pre- paring the tax bills with the utmost despatch; and as a large discount, 8 per cent., is offered on all taxes paid befere the first of July, it is presumed that all whose means are available will take advantage of the provision and thus save the corporation from any difficulty in meeting the $30,000 half yearly dividend on city bonds payable on the first of July. he Young Catholics’ Friend Society and Methodist Protestant Sabbath school mt Thursday in cheerful pic nics far away from the care and bustle of the city.
