nnn EVENING STAR. “[OCAL INTELLIGENCE. Sexats Procgepines or Disrarct [xtzr- gst.—In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Thomp- son introduced the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That the Committee for the Dis trict of Columbia inquire into the expediency of receding to the State of sng oes town and all that part of the Di it of Co- jumbia which lies west of Rock Creek, upon such terms and conditions as will secure to Georgetown an amount of money equal to that whieh was appropriated for the efit of Alexandria while it was a part of the ter- ritory of the District of Columbia; and that said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Mr. Brown asked the Senate to indulge him by proceeding te the consideration of the bills on the calendar relating to the concerns of the District of Columbia, contending that if aot disposed of at once they would be likely to be or perhaps lost for want of time The motion having been agreed to, the fol- lowing bills were considered and Ete A bill to incorporate the ‘‘ Apothecaries’ Association of the District of Columbia.’’ A bill to relievo the Corporation of George- town from the payment of bills for making roads west of Rock Creek. A bill to provide for the public instruction of youth in primary schools th hoat the county of Washington, in the District of Co- Jawbia, without the limits of the cities of Washington and Georgetown. ‘The bill to provide for improving the har- bor of Georgetown, in the District of Colum- bia, was next taken up; when Mr. Hunter objected to its consideration, on the ground that it was of the same class of bills as those relating to river and harbor im- Provements, and should not be considered when the Senate was so thinly attended. Mr Brown was understood to sey that the bill did not come within that class, as he would be prepared to show at the proper time; but he would not object to its postponement to a fature day. Tas Payorama at Iron Hat was pretty well attended last evening, but had not so large an audience as we have frequently seen attend similar exhibitions of far less merit The artist deserves crowded houses. Japan was unrolled last night, and from the quiet attention of the audience, with due applause, we judge it gave general satisfaction. These series of pictures, though not so elaborate in the details of the manners, customs, &¢., of the Japanese, as those of China and of the Chinese, still the scenic effect is unusually nd they convey a faithful exposition of the negotiations of the treaty of amity con- ducted and successfully concluded by Com. Perry, and are remarkably pleasing and in- teresting. China is exhibited to-night, and Japan to-morrow afternoon and eung: and pi ach these panoramas are fully lorsed for their truthfulness by Com. Perry, Bayard Taylor, and other distinguished travellers, as well as highly lauded for their artistic merit by artists and connoisseurs of New York and this city. We hope and predict for the exhibition a golden harvest. Ispras De_ecations —Jao. W. Grey Eyes, J. 8. Bearskin, and Joel Walker, of the Wy- andott tribe of Indians, accompanied by Gen. J.W. Whitfield, of Kansas, arrived in this city yesterday on business with the Govern- ment, and have taken lodgings at Browns’ Hotel. Hole-in-the-day, chief of the Chippe- was in Minnesota, arrived here last night In addition to those named there are other dele- _— of Indian chiefs in this city to transact usiness tor their tribes ‘with the Department. errr these delegations are com of educated men who stand high in the estima- tion of their people. A New Capram.—At a meeting of the Washington Highlanders held last evening at their armory, Mr. John Watt, the efficient superintendent of the Executive grounds, wae unanimously elected Captain of the company in room of Captain Jobn Bain, pr: pees Cap- tain Watt has long been one of the most ac- tive and efficient members of the corps. They part with Captain Bain with regret, as by his urbanity and attention to his duties he won the regard of all the Highlanders. We warn that Rev. Mr. Haskell, the astor of the Western Presbyterian Charch, as returned from his tour to raise funds for the completion of his church edifice, and that be will resume public worship with his twice afficted congregation on next Sabbath in the lecture-room of their partially-demolished eburch. The fractured tower bas been so re- moved as to preclude all danger to either the Sabbath schoo! or the worshipping assembly. Mr. Snerrer, of Pennsylvania, whose horses were stolen from him some time since, and recovered in Virginia, by Officer Kimball, of this city, started with bis Property for Chester County this morning. His horses were valued at $450. The party accused of stealing them, is im jail in Baltimore, and will probably have a further hearing to day on the arrival of Mr. Sheeler. Ware Meetina.—We have been requested by several of our resident Whigs, with the advice snd concurrence of a number of Whi members of Con; to invite a meeting 9! the Whigs of the District of Columbia at 8 e’cleck on Saturday evening, the 2lst instant, at the Washington Assembly Rooms, (Copp 's Saloon,) for the purpose of consulting on the course which their duty to their country and their party preseribes to them inthe approach- ing presidential contest. Mr. J. F. C. Orrurr, who was burned by ae acsident at the mass meeting on Wednes- day night, is still in such a condition that fears are entertained of the loss of sight. We are informed that the right eye may be saved, but for the left there is little hope. The young man is an industrious, | a citizen, and highly esteemed by all who know him. Tux arrarm between Mrs. Fritz and Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, mentioned in the Star yes- terday, grew out of an altercation among some children. Mrs. F threw water on them, and for this she was held to seeurity for peace. She being afraid of Mr. Brooks and bis wife, had them held for peace. There was no fight between them. Kowxex’s Onicixan Opera Tarovps, it will be seen by reference to our advertising ool- umas, commence a series of their entertain- ments at the National Theatre, on Monday night next. This will be good news, no doubt, to our music-loving, as well as fun-loving cit- izens, with whom this troupe are deservedly popular. oo Justice D. Suita kept busy yesterday with the examination of the following cases : Cassa Ann Harris, Wm. Brooks, Martha Jor- dan, and Pug Slater, threats; security for peace. James Muiquec:. and John MePher- son, breach of peace; do. Seven boys were examined on a charge of riot, and they were all disunissed.

Tas Property Houpers in the northern portion of the city are preparing to ition the Mayor and Councils for a meebo nt 2 cial police for day and night service in that section of the city. Their reasons for this course are sufficient to satisfy thinking men of the necessity for such an addition to the police force Quiet.—The city, last night, was but little disturbed by noise of any kind, and com- nage were less frequent than they have en ; the guards had but little trouble to Preserve the peace .Warcu Retcess —Thos Smith, (colored,) Supposed runaway ; sent to jail.

(Bee our issue of th. date) Should this capital idea be realized, the First Ward may be proud of possessing an establishment of the first or- der, and one which will compare with any of the kind in Europe or America. 1t* ADDITIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE BY THE AMERICA AT HALIFAX. The steamship Proponts, with the new sub- marine telegraph cable, which is to cross the Galf of ae tantene and connect Newfound- land with Cape Breton, sailed from London onthe 24 of June The cable will be laid down during the present month, and will form the first link in the London and New York Submarine Telegraph line, which it is confi- dently anticipated Loco will be in successful Operation between London and New York within twelve or eighteen months. The important insurance suit—The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, vs. Lloyd’s Insurance Company, London, has been settled, upon very advan- tageous terms to the Telegraph Company. AMERICAN DIFFICULTY. Lord Palmerston replied to D’Israeli’s in- quiry as to American affairs, in the following terms: Lord Palmerston said: I am unable to pts any definite answer to the question with which the honorable Baronet concluded his state- ment, namely: ‘‘ What particular steps had been taken during the last few weeks to ob- tain an answet from the American Govern- meat with regard to the subject of arbitration on the Central American question?” I can only say this, that the American Gov- ernment have made fully aware of that offer having been made on the part of her Majes- ty’s Government, and we have not though: it necessary, as yet 0 press, in any special man- ner, for a reply. ith regard to the general tenor of the Honorable Baronet’s observations, I quite agree with him, that in the present state of things between the two governments, it would be inexpedient if the opinion of the Govern.cent was to be expressed. I have no hesitation in saying that I feel the interests of the country and the prospects of the per- manent maintenance of amicable relations between this country and the United States, would be best promoted by the continuation of that forbearance, that judicious forbear- ance, which the House has hitherto shown Upon other occasions of somewhat similar character, when questions of importance were peuding in reference to the last war, or to the negotiations by which it was concluded, this House has acted in a manner most honorable to its judgment, by abstaining from throwing any possible difficulties Saal way of the Government, by entering into premature dis- cussion of such questions The questions now pending ay be of a very grave character, and I hope, I sincerely hope, and not without geod reason, that these discussions may ter- minate without any interruption to the peace- able relations between the two countries. { Hear, bear. ] Whatever cause there may be for collision, it is to be hoped that the good sense on both sides of the water may prevent any unneces- sary collision; but certainly discussion in this House which must be productive of a conflict of opinion—some too much upon one side and some too much upon the other—could not fail to be attended with injurious results. Now, Imay be permitted, when upon my legs to refer. though I am not quite sure whether the Honorable Baronet alluded to it. to a question put yesterday, whether Mr. Cramp- ton had retired from Washington? I stated that we had indirectly received information that such was the case. I learn from my noble friend at the head of the Foreign De- partment, that the information came by the Cunard steamer which left Halifax on the 22d of May. Yesterday evening there was snother packet from New York which left there on the 24th. This packet did not bring any con- firmation of the report of the 22d We are therefore not in possession of any official in- formation on the subject. (Hear, hear } a ITALY. A Paris dispatch states that the notes pre- sented by France and Austria to the Neapoli- tan Government are nearly identical No re- forms are positively indicated by name but the general tone is urgent and pressing. Aus- tria objects to foreign active interference, and hints that the present crisis has been planned by Sardinia, stating, however, that Austria has no desire to interfere with the liberal in- stitutions of Sardinia. France, however, hints at am intervention should an outbreak take place in Naples or Sicily. 1n the British Par- liament, Lord Clarendon has consented to pro- duce the papers addressed by Sardinia to the Conference, and gave as his opinion that be- fore the close of the ion there must be a discussion upon the affairs of Italy. He added that he had reason to believe that France and Austria were desirous of removing the troops 88 soon as possible from the Italian territory The Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies has presented General Marmora with un acre of valuable building land within the city of Turin. .
