“AL INTELLIGENCE. Levy Court.—The levy court of Wash- fate county met jestacdey ta the Alder- men’s chamber of the City Hall. Lewis Car- berry presided, and John Mounts, Eaq., acted zs secretary. The other members present were James A. Kennedy, George MeNeir, Jo- seph N. Fearson, Samuel Drury oe Ww. Riggs, Josbua Pierce, Robert White, Hamil- t chong hborough, Sayles J. Bowen and Dr Henry Haw. he board took up the bill re- cently adopted by Congress to provide for the instruction of youth in primary schools throughout the county of Washington in the District of Columbia, providing that the coun- ty be laid out in seven districts, two west of Rook Creek; three between Rock Creek and the Eastern Branch; and two east and south of the branch. The following resolution was adopted : “ Resolved, That the following named per- sons be snd they are hereby appointed com- wissioners of Public Schools, for the county of Washington, to hold their offices until the second Monday of May, 1857, and until others are appointed in their places : . ‘* From between Rock Creok and the East ern Branch—Messrs. Allen Dodge, Dr John C. Fairfax, and George MeCeney ; from west ef Rock Creek—William D.C. Mardcck ard Jas. Nourse ; from east and south of the East- ern Branch—Geo. M Young and J. R. Liv- ingston, jr.”” The following resolution, offered by George W. Riggs, was then unanimously adopted : Resolved, That in compliance with the thirteenth section of the act entitled “ An act to provide for the public instruction of youth,’” &e., there be, and hereby is, levied a school tax of one-eighth of one per cent. on all the assessable property of all white male citizens of this county, for the support of primary s*hools, suthorized in the county in the said act—which tax shall be collected by the coun- ty collector in the same manner and under the same regulations as other taxes, and as pro- vided fur in the act above mentioned. Messrs George W. Riggs, Sayles J Bowen, and George MecNeir, were appointed a stand- ing committee of the court The court then adjourned. Natiowan Taeatre.—We anticipated a full house—yea—an overflowing house at the Na- tional last night, but it bad not come within the range of our expectation to find such a densely packed audience as met our view on entering the theatre | If the charming Laura was not gratified by such a reception she must be hard to please, that’s all! ‘‘Camille’’ went off satisfactorily on the whole, thoagh from the fact that most cf the compeny reached the city only yester- day, there were some few hitches in the per- formance, unavoidable upon a first represen- tation in 2 strange theatre Miss Keene was most heartily welcomed upon making her appesrance at the footligbts, in the first act of “Camilie,’’ as was Mr. George Jordan, an old favorite here. ACa- ilie, Miss K had the difficult task of repre senting a character that has no precise coun- terpart elsewhere than in France, and which it is not easy to place understandingly before an American audience. That she succeeded in gaining the universal piendits of her intel- ligent and critieal audience of last night is the most conclusive evidence of her remarka- ble powers of expression and delineation. the eoncluding picce, the extravaganza ot « Novelty,’ was received with shouts of delight, A repetition was inevitable, and it accord- ingly is announced for to-night. In addition there is to be performed the cntirely new play entitled ‘‘ Dreams of Delusions,’’ and also the play of “Two can Play at that Game ;’’ a rich bill, indeed. 1 We chould be glad, had we space, to notice this troupe im ezxtenso, but it is sufficient to say, that in most respects it is the most satis. factory company that ever occupied the Na- tional boards. Tue Crry Counciis.—At the usual hour for meeting, 4 o'clock, there were but three Al- dermen in attendanco, and after waiting afew minutes they adjourned, there being no quo- rum present. About ten minutes later a suffi- cient number of members of the Board were at the City Hall to have formed a quorum ; bui the Board having adjourned, they also left. In the Common Council the istration bill was under consideration umerous amendments were proposed, and} among them one by Mr James A, Kennedy, designed to prevent colonizing. It declares that the Reg- ister shall transferno names from tie lists within thirty days of an election; and persona moving frors one Ward to another within that time, must vote in the Ward from whence they came. This amendment was adopted, and the bill passed. The communication from the Mayor relative to the public school in the Northern Liberties engine house was read and ordered to be published with the proceedings. The Meyor also announced his approval of recent ects of the Councils. Cextrm Market —The experience of sell- ers and buyers is, that the Corporation of Washington should not longer delay providing better aud more extensive accommodations for the important trade. Years ago the subject of a new market house was agitated and a plan for 2 structure prepared by Mr. Ranlett ; and a furmer Maycr said it could be built Without drawing a dollar from the city’s cof fers. Yet we hear of no movements calcu- lated te gratify the public hope and demand ia this respect This morning there was a remarkably full attendance at the market-house and in its vi- cinity. Wagons extended westward several Squares along the line of curbstones. But in rainy weather the outside stands are aban- doned, and the number of vendors, as a cor- Sequence, decreased, at the expense of the pockets of consumers. Whether a new and decent-looking house shall be erected or not, it is the duty of the “city fathers’’ to take immediate measures fur the accommodation of the market people. Taz Graxp Excorston —We hear of a goedly number who intend to avail themselves ef a trip to Old Point, Norfolk and Portsmouth, to be afforded by the Washiugton Light In- fantry; the excursion to take plice on the tweifth of September, leaving at 2 o'elock in the afternoon The names of these prominent places within reach of the passengers are sug- gestive of old ocean, and of extensive fortifi- cations, of great ships, of fine fishing, and good eating ; the incidents to be varied among other things by a cornet and cotillon band. The trip will occupy from Friday afternoon until Monday morning; the “round” ticket being only two dollars and a half. Really, we have never heard of a more attractive entertain- ment.

The offenders cannut be ref ed by persuasion, and the Officers will hereafter make a// suffer the heaviest penalty The colored congregations are not the only eufferers Others churches are annoyed in the Same manner, and in some eases where meet- ings are being held windows have been broken by disorderly boys. Tax Marker, this morning, opened with a fair display of provisions, which were disposed of speedily at about the same prices we quoted fact week. The officers detailed to attend to the wagon stands attend to their duty faith- fally, but still the principa! carriage ways are much crowded by horses and vehicles. The bay stands were all occupied, and that artiele was seliing rapidly at fair prices. ~ Mosquitozs —The little tormentors are again at their work, although they are not uite so troublesome as they wero last year. ume of our citizens have been compolled te eneage themselves at night in net-work, to guard against the intrusions of their petite nip- pers and blood sucking machinery.

GzorGEtown, September 9, 1856. Business along our canal wharves this morn- ing presents an unusually lively appesrance. The number of boats receiving and discharg- ing cargoes is quite large, Every thing con- nected with this great business thoroughfare seems to indicate an unusually prosperous fall trade. We would advise those young men who had to beat such a hasty retreat from the College grounds, on Sunday last to escape the vigi- lance of an officer, to find some other place than the,College vineyard for their Sabbath amusements. They might get caught, and have to undergo the mortification of a public trial. We hope that the parties who are in the habit of congregating about the corner of High and Third streets will also pay attention te the above, as wecan assure them if they are caught there again every one of them wiil have cause to regret it. Probably there is no class of borrowers in in any community more annoying than news paper borrowers, and to such an extent is the practice carried by some in our city, that some of our subscribers informed us yesterday that they found it impossible sometimes to get a chance to read their paper (the Star) until the day after its issue Most of these bor- rowers when asked why they don't subscribe, take high dudgeon and declare that their re- ligion or politics are of too pure a character to permit them to do such a thing; and when asked why they love co well to read, their neighbor’s reply, ‘‘ Why, I only wish to see what’sinit.’”” We presume that’s all sub s ribers wish to do; and we hope hereafter they will be allowed the privilege of doing so first. We have been requested by some of the sufferers to call the attention of the proper au- thorities to the pond of stagnant water in that portion of our city knownas Bryantown. Tle miasmi arising from it has already caused con- siderable sickness among some of the families living im the neighborkood, and unless the nuisance is abated at once it may, before the fall closes, send some of them to their graves. Coroner Woodward held an inquest on Sun- day morning over the body of a very worthy and industrious man named Hamilton Lewis, who, it is supposed, fell from the bark Wm. Chase, where he was generally emplozed when she is in port. It is supposed hé was fishing at the time the pa es occurred, (Wednesday night last,) and went to sleep, and while in that condition fell into the dock and waz drowned. The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Arrived—Brig Fidelia Jones, Boston, to F. & A. Hl Dodge; packet schr.

ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 9, 1858, The pleasantness of last Sabbath filled our churches, ‘‘ morn and e’en,’’ with attentive listeners to the word. At St. Mary’s church the recently appointéd assistant pastor, Rev. Peter 8. Croes, 8. J., delivered his first ser- mon to his new charge; and at night a large number of additions were made to the num- ber of seekers of religion at the various Meth- odist churches, where revivals of religion are in progress. A white girl, servant of Mrs H. 0’Neale, was yesterday committed to jail by Justice Hunter, charged with embezzling small sums of money, re aed of her employer. The son of J. T. Rudd, injured last Satur- day by his fall from the back of a horse, is doing well The houses Le the site of the new custom house were sold on Saturday, and are to be removed within thirty days; and the lot thus cleared will soon be vocal with the clink of the stone mason’s hammer preparing the foun- dation for a noble building. The Young Men’s Democratic Association completed their organization last evening. The City Council meets to-night. AMI runaway A Past Town —Ghicago is a funny place.
