EVENING STAR. “LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. np or ALpERury.—The Board met at as wail beer the President, (Mr. Clarke,) in the chair. Communications from the Mayor were re- ceived, and, Stall pieirs petitions, were sp- > iatel fel | vn aotee of Mr. Smith, the Board took up the resolution in relation to the Iate police of the city. Mr. Besy moved that the question be post- poned in — that the mane nominations ight be taken up; postponed. a Prior to aaa to vote on the nomina- tions, Mr. Busey stated the course of action he should pursue on tbe nominations. He should make no factions opposition. The competency of the nominee would be the main question in deciding his yote, with one or two excep- tions. He would not vote for any man who had changed his politics a day or two before the election for the purpose of getting office. The vote being taken on the nomination of James M. Carlisle, for Corporation Attorney, he received 14 votes, and was declared to be confirmed unanimously. E J. Klopfer was confirmed as Bookkeeper by a vote of 10 to 4. The nomination of Andrew J. Locke was rejected by a vote of 10 to 4. 4m Mr. Dove inquired what the objection was tothe nominee’ Why didn’t the opposition come out openly and state their grounds of opposition. He objected to this fighting in the bush. Mr. Busey said no threats of ae which he understood had been made, woul istimidate him. He understood that the nom- inee was in bad health, and he was evidently unfit for the office. Mr. Dove said it had been the custom here- tefore, when changes have been made, to have a committee of investigation, and contended that it was the proper course in this case. He would like to hear a repetition of Mr. Busey’s remarks about ‘‘threats.”’ Mr Busey replied that he didn’t allude to bim, (Mr Dove ) Mr. Dove gave notice of a motion of recon- sideration of the rejection of Mr. Locke at the next meeting. The nomination of Joseph E. Rawlings, as Commissioner of luprovements in the first dis- trict was rejected by a vote of 10 to 4 Mr Dove gave notice of reconsideration at the next meeting. Mr. Busey gave asa reason for voting against the nominee that he had changed his polities lately. Mr Smith said he would very frankly state that he objected to the nominee on the ground that he had belonged lately to the American party. He might make a very good cfficer for aughf he knew. Mr. Miller objected te the past crimes of the nominee being raised againsthim He thought he was not so badly tainted by his late associations but that he might reform (Laughter. ) Mr Dove stated that Mr. Rawlings had withdrawn from the Know Nothings some time ago. The nomination of R. B. Owens, as Com- missioner of the Second District, was rejected by a vote of 9 to5 The nomination of Thomas @. Barrett, as Commissioner of the Third District, was re- jected by a vote of 9 to 5. Mr. Busey said he had no charge of incom- petency to make against Mr. Barret, but he considered it an outrage to bring a citizen from another Ward to fill the most important office in the Fifth and Sixth Wards Mr. Moore expressed a hope that some one who bad voted in the negative would make a motion to reconsider in the case of Owens, and Mr. Houston — made that motion. The nomination of James Espey, as Com- missioner of the Fourth District, was confirmed unanimously, whereupon some laughter en- sued in consequence of an intimation upon the part of the anti-Know Nothings, that the vete looked suspiciqus, and as if Mr. Espey must be a member of the Order. George H. Fulmer was confirmed as Com- missioner of the Washington Asylum by a vote of 8 to6 W Bruner, for the same position, was con- firmed unanimously, Mr. Smith being excused from voting. Mr. Busey gave notice of a motion to recon- sider the vote by which Mr. Fulmer had been confirmed. = F. Queen was confirmed by a vote of 8 to Mr. Evans asked and was excused from voting on this nomination. Mr. Bayly moved to excuse him for the bal- ance of the evening. [Laughter | The nomination cf John R Queen, as In- tendant of the Asylum, was rejected by a vote of 10 to 4. Mr Bayly gave notice of a reconsideration of the vote. The nomination of A. W. Miller, M. D., as Physician of the Asylum, was rejected by a vote of 10 to4 Mr. Miller gave notice of reconsideration. Joseph Cross was confirmed as Commissioner of Canal by a vote of 9to 5. William Wise, do., was confirmed by a vote of 8 to 6. Mr. Emery, having voted in the negative on Mr. Wise’s appointment, asked leave to change his vote, he believing Mr. Wise to be a good man and well qualified for the situa- tion. Mr. Emery’s vote being chan; on the confirmation of Sur. nounced as standing 9 to 5. Hiram Ritchey was confirmed as Sealer of Weights and Measures by a vote of 9 to 5. Jos. W. Martin was unanimously confirmed as Inspector of Fire Apparatus. The question cuming up on the nomination of James W.

Tae Kxow Noruine Ratirication Mesrt- ine Last Nicnt.—We learn that the Know Nothings are a deal out of humor to da: with the unsatisfactory manner in which their meeting went off last night From first to last the rowdy elements of the Know Nothing party had sway, infinitely to the dissatisfac- tion of the more sedate members of the order. Patgize the di of such staid, respectable Old Hunkers as Joseph H. Bradley and Sen- ator Crittenden, in being ually inter- rupted in their most patriotic high-falutions, by the drunken, imbecile rowdyism of the ju- venile ‘‘Sams,”’ over whom the elders of the order were able to exercise no restraint what- ever. Everything went the lights went out, rockets absolutely refused to fue in the direction assigned for them, went off obliquelyin all directions to the dis comfiture of the audience; transparencies, upon which the getters up had specially plumed themselves, were found te be inguch ou! us bad taste that they were ignominiously hus- tled away out of sight in the rear of the stand. This fate befell a very elaborate monumental transparency from the Seventh Ward, on which the Genius of Liberty, in a blue gown, was represented in a bent position, with her hands pressed upon her stomach, with an ap- pearance of acute agony, as if she were suf- fering from the summer complaint and was in the last stage of collapse. A sailor, on the reverse side, was represented straddled like the Colossus of Rhodes, and with legs dis- tended at so obtuse an angle as terribly to threaten the integrity of the seat of his pant- aloons. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Jos. H. Bradley, who made a few opening remarks, but he was evidently not inthe enthusiastic moed, nor was the audience. Gen. McCalla defined his position and read = resolutions (Audience still out of spir- its Senator Crittenden was brought forward, but he too was laboring under the prevailing blues, and failed to pump up any enthusiasm. An ill-advised imitation of the Democratic meeting, double-stand speaking, resulted ina failure, as the meeting, though respectable in int of size, was not large enough to bear ‘ividing. We have no doubt the Know Noth- ings will rectify all these little errors in fu- ture; and by holding their mass meet:ngs in —_ school-house make a pretty respectable show. Taz Disgracerut Know Norsine Riot.— The Mayor waz promptly on the ground at the Know Nothing meeting, as was his duty, to preserve order. and while in the exercise of this duty he came across a party of boys, and boyish men whe were gathered on the stepe in the vicinity ef the speakers stands, drinking vole from a bottle, and making a general disturbance, being a portion of the same party of Sam’s followers whom Mr. Bradley had oc- casion to rebuke so pointedly for disturbing the speakers by their mandlin rowdyism. The Mayor very properly attempted to check the disturbance, and while doing so, was as- saulted by these rowdies, who were encour- aged by men standing by, who, too cowardly to incur the odium of the dastardly act them selves, egged on these boys and rowdies to attack the Mayor. The chaste rallying cries of ‘‘Gumballs’’ and “ Chunkers’’ meantime was raised, and a large crowd of these pre- cious specimens of humanity gathered round the Mayor, striking him with fists, stones and slung-shot, shouting hurrah for ‘Sam,’ and swearing like so many demons. Tho police officers, and members of the aux- iliary guard, who endeavored to penetrate the crowd were resisted by the gang of rowdies. The Mayor, while endeavoring to seize and carry away a person who had struck him with a stone, was disabled momentarily by a stroke from a slung-shot upon the back of the neck. The Mayor, accompanied by some of the officers, made his La with difficulty towards the guard house, and on reaching the market was joined by Captain Mills, whereupon the skulking slupg-shot rowdies made way for him to pass. A fellow with a fiddle now followed the Mayor, scraping away, at the instigation of these brave “ Samites,’’ whereupon Captain Mills attempted to arrest the fiddler, but was struck on the back of the head with a slung shot, and the prisoner escaped. The crowd continued to follow the Mayor until he entered the Kirkwood House The rowdy gang lingered here, shouting, throwing stones, firing pistols, &c., for a while and then dispersed. The Mayor reached his own residence about midnight. He is at his office to-day in the exercise of his duties, and though somewhat bruised is we are glad to hear not seriously injured. The disgracefully lying reports which the rowdies have started to shield themselves will injure none but themselves Several officers were bruised and beaten, among them Officers Cooper and Reynolds. The names of the most prominent actors have been obtained, and others who were there can be identified as soon as seen again. All will be reported to the Grand Jury, without re- spect of persons, and it is the sincere wish of all good citizens that they will be punished to the extent of the law. Mr. Wu Patwen, well known to the mu sical professors and amateurs of Washington, died suddenly yesterday at Liberty Hall, Pennsylvania avenue, near Fifteenth street He went into the hall about one o'clock, and, attempting to sit down, fell upon the floor. He was helped to a seat, and appearing to be unwell, Mr. Hammack, one of the proprietors, helped to move him to a refreshment room, where he could rest himself without bein; disturbed. In this room he remained until his groans again attracted the attention of Mr. Hammack, who sent for physicians and at the same time had Mr. Palmer removed to a bet- ter position in the passege. He was taken with convulsions, and aftera relief from them he died before the physicians arrived. The physicians in attendance decided that the death was caused by disease of the heart. The deceased is not, as stated by a cotem- rary, Prof. William H. Palmer, (Robert eller,) but an uncle of that gentleman. Covrt or Cuaims.—-Yesterday, Justice Searburgh delivered the opinion of the court on the reargument of tie case of Sturges, Burnett, & Co.; favorable Bill ordered to Teported. Judge Blackford Cressanin Chief Justice Gilchrist delivered the opin- ion of the courtin the case of Thomas Phe- nix, jr.; unfavorable tothe claim. _ Also, in the case of Rhodes & Austill; fay- orable. Bill ordered to be reported. Also, in the case of William Neil and oth- ers : unfavorable to the claim. Robert C. Gilchrist, of Charleston, 8. C., was sworn an attorney of the court. The Solicitor being unable to attend court, no further business was done; and the court then adjourned to Saturday next. Footisa Wacer oung man named Cavilland, from Lowa, made a bet that hecould drink a pint of whisky and walk from the lower part of the Seventh Ward to the City Hall without staggering. A young man who was with him said that he walked straight enough until he got within two hundred yards of the bridge on Seventh street, when he fell and had several convulsions. He recovered sufficiently to walk home, helped by his friend. We predict that he will not make another wager of the kind shortly. Come, why will you suffer all the ills of bed- bugs, cockroaches, moths, ants, and every other species of insects when Lyon’s Le gaa Powder will surely rid your house of all such pestilence.

The boy was drowned at Sally Smith’s boarding-house, where he had been hired He was the property of John Contee, of Prince George’s county, Maryland. Fvoitive Caprurnsp.—Randolph Cokely. a colored man who broke jail in Alexandria, Va., yesterday morning, was retaken in this city by Officers Allen and Boss and returned to his old quarters. A Smauv Boy, we learn, had his skull frac- tured lust night, by some of the rowdy Sam- <, in the neighborhood of Tenth street and the avenue. Suppex Deara.—aA ver been residing near the railroad depot for some time past, died suddenly yesterday. He was an old soldier, it is said, and was worn out in the service. Old age and exposure was the probable causo of his death. Gerrixe 4 Foretaste oF THEIg Hergar- TeR.—The Organ folks are alarmed about the | heat of the weather.

After considerable drumming up yesterday evening, the Know Nothings mustered quite @ respectable procession to attend the mass ratification meeting in your city. Being a lit- tle anxious to know how many old line Whigs (those who had not long since united with the Know Nothing party) would accompany them, we watched the line pretty closely as it passed out Brid ge street, and we confess if there was any in it we were unable to discover them. We did, however, to our utter surprise dis- cover borne in the line the old Whig banner. This trick, as the old tars say, “took us all aback.’? We wondered how it was possible that they would consent to march under the banner of a party which had been denounced by one of their pet leaders (the Hon. H. W. Davis) as “the rump of a dishonest, and broken down party.’’ The glorious old em- blem of other days seemed to hang its head and blush as the light now and then fell full upon it, and soliloquise thus : “Oh, Doolittle, Doolittle, yon have brought your pigs to a fine market at last.’’ They also carried in the line quite a multitude of transparencies. Decidedly the cheapest and moet desirable excursion which we have have seen advertised for the Fourth, is the one which is going to Harper’s Ferry on the fine packet Arago. Every inducement is offered the seekers of pleasure of recreation to avail themselves of its advantages Only think of it; for the small sum ofs3 50 you can have the pleasure of riding over one hundred and twenty miles, seeing beautiful and romantic scenery, the government works at the Ferry, feast upon all the delicacies of the season, and that, too, without any fear of being blown up or run off the track. The pupils of Mr. P. A. Bowen's mathemat- ical and classical academy are preparing to give us, on Thursday, a rich literary treat in the way of an exhibition. From our personal knowledge of many of the pupils and the teacher, we have not a doubt but it will be something well worthy the attendance of every admirer of youthful talent. In addition to the Sabbath schools already noticed by us that intend publicly to celebra- ting the Fourth, we have learned that the West Georgetown Methodist school intend spending the day in the woods of Mrs. Dashields, where the Declaration of Independence will be read by Mr. James Calhoun, and an address suit- able to the occasion delivered by the Rev. Mr. Gotwalt The day will also be celebrated at the old Georgetown College in their usual appropriate and interesting manner. Notwithstanding the extreme heat of the last week orso, the health of our city continues excellent; never better, to our knowledge, at this season of the year. The flour market continues firm, with a brisk demand for shipping and other urposes, at $6.25 for good standard brands day. GAS HEATER, OR NATURAL LAMPS. Seventy-five Cents each at Retail. Patented by W. F. Shaw, Boston, Massachusetts. The following is taken from the Boston Transcript: Gas AND Air Summer Cookine Stoves, in- vented and patented by Mr. W. F. Shaw, of Boston, who after experimenting in this line of inventions the past six years, has finally succeeded in inventing a most perfect i 28 rikaed ratus, which for utility, comfort, neatness, economy and uniformity of results, surpasses any before invented or offered to the public Mr. Shaw has letters of approval of the svien- tific principles adapted by him to his different styles of gas cooking and heating apparatus, from some of the highest professional chains who not only approve of those stoves, but have adopted them in their familes. Among the patents which have been granted Mr. Shaw, three have been for gas and air heating and cooking apparatus. As other in- ventions have been introduced which are in- tended to accomplish the same object, it would be well to state that every invention of Mr. Shaw’s has his name and date of patent afix- ed to it. and that he will refund the money for any of his apparatus that does not fully ac- complish all they are represented to. Hither- to the objection to the use of gas and atmos- pheric air mixture as fuel for culinary and heating purposes, has been, that as the mixed gas and airis inflamed on the surface of the wire gauze, part of the product of combus- tion escapes laterally from the wire gauze surface and mixes with the surrounding atwospherie air, thereby forming not only noxious odors, but those deadly poisons, form- ie acid gas and aldehydo, which becomes ab- sorbed by the food, thus rendering it highly deleterious. Mr. Shaw's invention consists in part of surrounding the wire gauze surface with fine- ly perforated tin, by which the flame and the products of combustion are supplied with at- mosphoric air at a very high temperature which he has discovered is actually necessary for a complete chemical union or perfect com- bustion of the mixed gases and the entire pre- vention of the formation of the above nained poisons. As the apparatus is now construct- ed, the most sensitive tests cannot detect the least trace of their presence. Incommunica tions received from Prof. A A. Hayes and J. M. Wightman, Esq , the absence of these objections is attributed wholly to surroundin, the wire gauze surface with finely perforated tin, operating as above stated Messrs. W. F. Shaw & Co., No. 174 Wash- ington street, opposite Bromfield street, are making extensive preparation for manufactur- ing these apparatus. The most convenient article we have ever used is the cone cooking stove, which they connect, and leave in ope- ration in any room, for the sum of $10, includ- ing oven, tea kettle, steamer, pans, flexible pipe, &c. They have also flat iron heaters $2 75 each, and gas range and stoves from $5 to 80 each, all of which they are happy'to ex- hibit in actual operation at their Gas Fixture and Gas Fitting Warerooms. iG For sale by all the principal House Furnishing and Gas Fitting Establishments, at the Boston prices. excluding freight bills.
