NING STAR, “LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, Betcha e eins - at Y Camiman Covat—Taiat or Sonuivay.— After our report closed yesterday. Officer Keese was recalled.—Knows Wm. itmore at the arsens]; mentioned this case when serv- ing rrant on him; witness might have Gag ore pee res as back; don’t think he told him that after the blow was strack deceased turned and went im the house; can’t remember clearly about it; may know Chas. Grimes and Thos Dawson when he sees them ; may have told them they had the right man, that Sulli- van had better give himself up; might have said it for the purpose of catching Sullivan ; said this to Sullivan's wife for the purpose of tching bim. aa H Shreeve, sworn —Sa: the night of the 4th July; sa im 4 large knife; can’t say this was the k: i hborhood of 9 o’clock; thought Eggleston had been drinking; can’t say he was drunk. John Grimes, sworn.—Knows jeston; saw bim with a knife similar to this the day of the election; couldn’t say this was the knife; it was similar to this; he drew the knife from his waistband. Wendel Nef, called.—Was examined before the magistrate. {The witness was told to stand aside Franklin | ckhead, recalled.—At the firs: conversation Capt Steel was present; don’t remember that Sullivan had a moustache or not that night Capt. Godderi, called.—Was one of the ex- smining magistrates; the witnesses were ex- amined as fully as was deemed necessary W. J. Martin took the stand to testify to discrepancies in the testimony of witnesses for prosecution as given now and on the prelimi- nary examination i Wm. Choppin, Wm. Craig, R. Burch, Wil- lism T. Webb, and a large number of other witnesses testified to the previous good charac- ter of the prisone: Rebutting evidence was produced. and then, prior to adjournment, the Court on the request of Mr. Martin, gave permission for the jury to examine the premises at Beckert’s at 5 o’clock, p- 2. TO DAY. Christien Beckert sworn, for the United States —Know Sullivan; saw him on the 4th July, between 5 and So’clock. Mr. Key ask- ed, “Had he a moustache?’ Counce! for defence objected on the ground that it was not rebutting. The Court sustained the ob- jection, and the United States rested their case here Mr Martin proposed to offer witnesses to show the character of Mrs Padgett, also in reference to the conversation between Keese and Birkhead. Mr. Key objected that it was not rebutting. The Court considered that the question was one of time. If the evidence had been offered at the proper time it would have been clearly admissible. The question is, can it be admit- ted now. Judge Grawford decided, and ad- mitted be did it with great reluctance, that the evidence could not be admitted at this time. Mr. Martin then asked for instructions, to which Mr. Key for the Government assented. Mr. Key then proceeded to address the jury, and was speaking when our report closed. Liszt Surr.—Mr J. Shillington appeared with bis counsel, Mr. Bradley, before Justice Goddard, this morning, to answer to the charge of libeling Marshal Hoover; butin the absence of one of the witnesses for the prosecution, (Dr. Blake.) the examination was deferred until Wednesday week. The testimony of Hon. George W. Jones, of Tenn., was, however, taken, in view of the possibility of the ab sence of Mr. Jones from the city at the time of the deterred examination. Mr. Jones stated that some time previous Gen Milson had asked him if he had seen the pamphlet in reference to the Keating case, deponent replied that he had not; Gen. Mill- sou said that he had found one on the table of his committee room, and theught it was cal- culated to do harm politically; afterwards, witness was passing down t! od seeing Mr. Shillington, asked him if had seen this pampblet; Shillington replied that he bad—that there were some thirty or forty names attached to it, but oe he knew nothing of ite getting up, or ofthe signers, adalat Mr. Fitegersld on it was the one residing near the United States Hotel witnees asked Mr. 8. if he had a copy of t! pamphlet, and be replied that be had not, but tht he would get him one if hecould. The next day, witness thinks it was, he was passing the store and Mr S. gave him acopy ; witness had not yet read it. The examination at the instance of Mr. Da- vidge, who appeared for Government, was then deferred, as above stated, to give time for the return of Dr. Blake. Tuisttes.—In many portions of the city large lots of ground are covered with thistles. Section seven of the act approved June 3, 1853, makes it the duty of the commiseioners of im- provements “to cause zenthum spinosum, and every other epecies of thistle that may appear in the streets, alleys, and vacant grounds with in their respective Wards to be rooted up, de- stroyed, and entirely extirpated in the months of June and July of each year.” An appro pristion for this purpose is made in the appro- — bill now before the Counsils, but is ikely to be available only after the thistles have ripened and the downy seeda scattered broadcast by every wind.

Vander- werken, to whom oar fellow citizens of Wash- ii and wn are already'so much indebted for their present omnibus is now completing in his coach butldeng Setablishment in six fine omnibus- ses, to run between the Capitol and the War Department. Proposes to continue his Capitol and Georgetown coaches on the line as at present, one starting from each terminus every five minutes; and further, to ran these six new coaches between the Capitol and the War De- partment, one starting from each of those ter- mini between the departure of the coaches going through to and from Georgetown. Thus, the Washington public will have the advantage of an omnibus cone up and down the avenue as far asthe War Depart- ment every two and a half minutes through- out theday. This arrangement will certainly supply our city with omnibus facilities equal to that between any such given points now in operation anywhere in this country. Correction.—It was, we learn, Mr. James Crutchett, and not Mr. J. P. Crutchett, who was cobcerned in the contemplated ducl no- ticed in yesterday's Star. Warcn Rerurns.—J.

We would advise al] who may wish to spend a day of unalloyed pleasure to procure a ticket for the Washington Highlanders’ excursion to the Great Falla on Tuesday next. The fine canal packet, M C. Meigs, Captain W. H. Ritter, has been chartered forthe cecasion, and we hava’t a doubt but it will be decidedly one of the most pleasant excursions of the season—our personal knowledge of the boat, her gentlemanly commander, and some of those engaged in getting up the trip, enables us to speak thus confidently. We would in- form those of our own citizens who may wish to go that tickets can be had at the store of W.H &£ H. @. Ritter, near the market, We have not a doubt but that the attempt, mentioned in my letter of yesterday, to fire the dwelling of Mr. John Scott, was the work of seme of the paities of villainous boys who are in the habit of making efforts to get the fire companies out and inciting them to fight. It is a notorious faet that a majority of the fights and riots that occur among our fire companies are orginated by these graceless scamps It would be aged idea for each of the companies to carry a bunch of rods and to have a mutual understanding that they will thrash severely every boy they catch near taeir apparatus when they arecailed our. Our word for it fights and riots among the com- panies would soon cease. Many consumers of bread have called upon us with the request that we would urge upon our c-rforate authorities the necessity of re- enacting the old law regulating the size of the loaf according to the price of flour. It isa notorious fact that the arguments used by those who advocated the repeal of the law, viz : that competition in the trade would se- cure to consumers more bread for the same money, than they received under the law has proved a perfect failure. When flour was selling at $10 to $12 le barrel, the loaf as sumed the Tom Thumb or liliputian size, and has so continued ever since. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE, ALEXANDRIA, August 29, 1856. The celebration at Woodstock passed off most agreebly, large numbers of our citizens including nearly all the city authoritics, were present, and from all quarters of the valley crowds attended to partake in the festivities. A fine dinner, speeches from B. B. Bell, T. 8.
