EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tax Hersert Case.—The District Attor- ney commenced his closing address at half- one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, amidst the profound silence of the immense crowd in attendance Reserving his energies apparent- ly for this cl effort. his address occupying aod hour —- a te the delivery, wil —_~ remembe: jose present as one oO} poder power and ability. He reviewed the evidence in the case, and presented the salient points tothe jury with masterly clearness and precision. He boy that Herbert com- menced the fray; that it was one transaction from its inception to its termination, and that it was a case not of self defence, but of man slaughter. It would not do, he contended, fora man tocommence @ quarrel, and when he finds himself getting the worst of it, to end it by taking human life. st closed for the prosecution at three o'cloe Mr. Bradley asked the Court to instruct the jery upon the points of law, and Mr. Walker immediately rose with a sgt of instructions framed by the defence, which he asked should pal keg: to the jury These Mr. Walker pro- ceeded to read, and then passed them up te Judge Crawford, who promptly reported them to the jury as the instructions of the Court. These instructions are as follows : “Ist If a sudden affray arose between the accused and the deceased, and afterwards several other persons interfered to assist the deceased, and by these assailants the defen- dant was borne down and beaten, and had reason to believe that he was in imminent danger of great bodily harm, from which he could not safely escape, and while in this posi- tion fired the pistol by which the deceased was killed, it was in judgment of law a case of excusable homicide, and it is immat i the absence of premeditation and malice, by whom the affray was commenced. And it is also net material that the accused might have escaped before the imminent peril came upon him, if at the time the peril came he had rea- son to believe himself in imminent peril of life, or of great bodily harm, and when he fired the pistol he could not safely escape. “2d. To have authorized Herbert to take the life of Keating the necessity for doing so need not be actual ; for if the circumstances were such as to impress his (Herbert’s) mind with the reasonable belief that such necessity was impending it is sufficient. “3d. If the jury believe, from the evidence, that atthe time the pistol was discharged Herbert was being pressed by superior num- bers and was in danger of death or of serious bodily harm, and from which he could not safely escape, he was justified in taking life. “4th. If the jury entertain reasonable doubts asto any material fact necessary to make out the case for the Government they Wust give the benefit to the defendant.” Mr. Key stated to the court that the jury— one of their number being sick—asked leave to go to the National Hotel. udge Crawford decided adversely to the request, stating that in case of granting a similar one previously, a bill of three or four hundred dollars had been run up. The court met again at half-past six o’clock Saturday evening, when a message was re ceived from the jury, saying that they had come to no agreement, and requesting the court to adjourn to meet at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning ; which was agreed to. The Court met yesterday morning at half- past nine o'clock, and awaited until eleven o'clock, a.m, for a verdict in the Herbert case, having, in the mean time, dispatched several messages to the jury. At this hour, there appearing no immediate prospect of the jury coming to a conclusion, the Court ad- journed until this morning. The jury is understood to be ten for acquit- tal and two for a verdict of manslaughter, To-day, the court is engaged with petty lar- ceny and assault and battery cases. The trial of Jarboe for killing Nally will be the next case of importance, and will perhaps be taken up to-mcrrow. The interest felt in the de- cision of the jury in the Herbert case, and which has been peculiarly intensified by the instructions of the court, is manifested by the crowded court room, and by the groups of ex- cited individuals engaged in animated con- versation upon the City Hall steps, despite the fierce glare of a July sun. 2 Pr. «.—No verdict has been given yet in the Herbert case. The Jarboe case has been assigned for to- morrow week. A Lancaster Gux.—Uur new “devil,” who was “powder monkey” to one of the ‘Lancaster guns’’ which so badly battered the Malakoff, and who, from having seen Athens from on deck in the Pirseus, fancies be is half Greek, is responsible for the follow- ing: * Helloa, Sam! what’s so funny there ?”’ “Hi! Loco, isthat you? why {'m laughing at what one of your keen editor: has got off about your keystone candidate.” “What is it, Sam? ‘+ He says the Democracy have anew sort of cannon to fight this campaign with,—to wit, Bu—cannon.”” “Very good! but does he stop with that?” “Yes, that’s all. Why?” ‘« Because, Sam, he might have went further and said that since 4x is the Greek for large, we have a /arge-cannon, a great gun, @ per- ST ‘peace maker,’ to fight the campaign with.”* Yes, I see. A perfect ‘ Lancaster x [Bzeunt Sam et Loco | We may further suggest that our Sebastopol hero isthe Loco of the above dialogue; and further yet, that-soon thereafter they were seen hobnobbing over a mug of lager. Arremet at Suicipg.—On Friday, Mr F Walmsley, a young man well known to our citizens as expert workman in the graning branch of the painting business, attempted to destroy his life by cutting his throat with a razor, while several miles in the country, where he had gone to do some work. It is said that he went to a store and purchased the razor but a short time before the act wascom- mitted. The wound upon the throat is large and severe; but as he was doiog well when last heard from, there is some hope of his re- covery. He was brought to the Washington Infirmary for treatment, where he bas receiv ed prompt attention from all connected with the institution. The rumor, Ty: that the act was committed at the Infirmary is in correct P. 5.—Bince the above was put in type, Mr. Walmsley has died from the effects of the wound upon his throat. A Seriovs Joxe.—On Saturday night, a young men, who appeared two be entirely un- acquainted with the police regulations, was taken to the guard-house by two persuns who cbarged him with being disorderly and dis posed to riot. They requested that he be re- tained until the justice dismissed him, leaving their names as witnesses to appear against him in the morning. The young man went quietly to thecells. In the morning he was brought out for trial, when, no one appearing against him, he was dismissed. He told Jus- tice Morsell that those men told him they were watchmen, and he thought it would be proper for him to go with them quietly and see what he had done. The names and de- scriptions of the waggish gentlemen were se- cured by the Captain of the guard for future action. “The joke may cost them something. Taz Baraixe Law.—Yesterday s number lads were bathing in the branch near the rail- road depot, during the hours forbidden by theaforporation law. Nar, was made, and the police of the Fourth Ward captared three of the boys, while others ran away, le=ving their clothing in the possession of the cficers The captured boys were taken to the guard house and made to give seourity for the payment of the fine and costs. Tho others can have their clothes by calling for them. Boys should be more careful when the heat from the sun i: so 5, they should not expose themselves to it. And if they wish to bathe, they should select a prop- er time, and a place where batbing is no vio- lation of the law} Tae Prasxcin Fine Coupany is making arrangemests for an exdursion on or about the first of August. are continued as follows: ie department of the second district school, Pemprd ville i Randolph to-morrow, ‘Taos ay, the e department, taught by Mrs. Wilson: on Wednesday, the fomale depart- ment of the third district school, rp by Miss Merrick ; on Thursday, the male depart- ment by M.

Thompson: The examination of the select classes of male and female pupils will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 22d and 234, commencing at 3 o’clock, p. m., of each day. Vionation or THE Revenve Law.—A war- rant was issued this morning by Justice Clark, on the complaint of EB Robinson, deputy collector, against Ruth Ann Atkinson, admin- istratrix of Richard Atkinson, deceased, owner of the longboat Prince William, for failing to renew her license according to law. Another case of the same sort is pending before Justice Clark against the owners of the boat Califor nia. The law requires the owners of boats to renew their licenses within three days after the expiration of tho old one. The penalty for failing to renew the license and running the boat 1s $50 The renewal of the license at the proper time costs about $3 80. Resisting Ax Orricen.—Officer Thomas, of Georgetown, arrested a colored man named Jeremiah Long for an offence that caused his commitment to jail. On his way to the prison Long resisted and tried to escape, and grasp- ing the officer leaped into the canal with him. He was secured, however, and with the aid of Officer Kitchen taken before Justice Hollings- head, who committed him again for the last offence AssauLts, Tareats, &c —Dennis Harring- ton, threats, security for peace; Rebecca Bai- ley, assault, do.; Elizabeth Bailey, threats, do.; Jane Hall, do.. do.; Elizabeth Clark and Richard Clark, do., do.; Lucy Franklin, do., do.; Thos.

Pieasant Parties.—We noticed, this morn- ing, quite a large number of ladies and gen- tlemen wending their way towards the various groves and springs in the vicinity of the city. We have no doubt that all the prominent Places of resort will be occupied to-day by parties of the young and gay, who wish to es- cape the heat and dust of the city. Watca Rervrns.—Sunday morning, July 13—Alfred Newton, drunk in the street ; work- house thirty days. James Lawrence, colored, disorderly ; reprimanded and dismissed.

Gzoreetown, July 14, 1856. A fire occurred on Satarday afternoon ina frame house situated on First street owned by Mr. J. Thomas, and occupied by Mrs. Jane Good, as a dwelling and school house. The roof and other portions of the building were considerably damaged before the flames could be suppressed. © Vigilant fire company was promptly at the scene of danger; but before they could obtain a supply of water, the neighbors had entirely extinguished the fire by the use of buckets. The fire was purely the result of accident. After an able and impressive discourse by — Whittingham, at St. John’s (Episcopal church, yesterday morning, four adult per- sons received the solemn rite of confimation To-morrow evening, at Forrest Hall, the tragedy of ‘‘ Thasius, or the Martyr,”’ one of those thrilling and bloody incidents in history that seldom occur, will be performed by sev- eral of the Jarger pupils of Trinity school, who have already during neti shown their pro- ficiency in this kind of performance The characters in this piece are Diocletian, Tha- sius, Gabrius, Fabius, Statilius, Lucacius and six guards. @ would advise all those who w sh to spend a day of unalloyed pleasure to accompany the Young Catholizs’ Friend Society on their ex cursion down the Potomac, on next Wednes- day.

See adver- tisement _ From almost every section of the surround- ing country we continue to receive the moet cheering accounts of the growing crops. The wheat and other small grain and grass crops are nearly all harvested and housed, and are represented as being excellent. he flour market is steady this morning, with an active demand for the home trade at $6 75a$7 for good standard brands; stock light, and but litle arriving. No new wheat has yet come in. Spectator. California and Nicaragua. The steamship Daniel Webster has arrived at Aspinwall, via San Juan, with California dates of the 20th ultimo. There was no decrease in the excitement at San Francisco. Very few persons responded to the Governor’s proclamation of June 4th. The Vigilance Committee had opened books and recruits were being received by thousands. The committee have six thousand stand of arms and thirty pieces of cannon. Their force is divided into ten regiments. There area string of breastworks in front of the committee room, an alarm bell on the top of the building, and several pieces of cannon on the adjacent roofs The Governor gathered a few hundred men together and went to Benicia to get arms and ammunition from the arsenal, which Gen. Wool refused to give them. The Governor’s forces were encamped near the city. Six more rogues had been banished by the com- mittee, who continued making arrests. On the receipt of the Governor's proclama- tion nearly all the towns in the interior held enthusiastic meetings, endorsing the commit- tee, and formed organizations to assist them. Crimes and casualties were numerous. There was no interest whatever in politics. The reports from the miues are favorable. In Oregon hostilities continued. Smith’s command was attacked near the Meadows; the whites lost twelve killed and twenty-five wounded; Indian loss considerable. " Col. Wright and one third of his command had been killed by the Yakima Indians. The news from Nicaragua is important. Gen. Walker was elected President June 24th. Pre- sident Rivas and his Minister of War left Leon on the 12th, and afterwards appeared at Chinendago, where they collected six hundred natives. They called in the out posts and or- dered the American troops to evacuate Leon. The order was obeyed, and Rivas took posses- sion of Leon with 120 men. Walker has de- clared the Rivas party traitors. Moet of the officers of the former Cabinet stand by Walker. LATER A letter from Nicaragua states that Rivas and his entire cabinet, with the exception of Ferrer, had deserted General Walker and at- tempted a revolution. This, however, proved unsuccessful. Walker afterwards accused Rivas and aed of being traitors, when the latter issued a proclamation and joined the enemy. The election for the new president was to come off on the 24th of July. Inthe meantime Ferrer was acting as provisional president. Walker was evidently in the as- cendancy and it elieved would ultimately be chosen. The Ministers of Eogland and France had dispatched couriers ashing- ton on @ special mission. Padre had re- tarned in poor health. A revolution has broken out in Costa Rica. Mr. Corwine concluded his investigation of the recent massacre at Panama, and forward- od bis despatches to the government. Tbe mails from Oregon report that within the past few weeks two hundred and fifty whites have been killed and wounded by the Indians. advices from Acapulco announce that atteon officers in Puebla had been discovered in an attempt at conspiracy, the object-of which was to excite a revolution and plunder the town. The ringleaders were promptly ar- rested, sentenced, and shot on the 1dth ult. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE.
