"LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tus Arrest or Coanrentinn.—We yester- day gave an account of the well-managed pursuit and arrest of Charpentier, the princi- pal in the great railway fraud in France, and since have learned some additional particulars. Mr. Knight, of this chy, e gentleman who detected and arrested Charpentier, prior to leaving New York city in pursuit of the adroit fugitive, armed himself with a warrant from Jastice Osborne and also with one of the ad- mirable executed ph rather Tal- botypes, upon pasteboard, of Ch ntier, du- plicates of which had been sent from France to assist the police officers in identifying him. This portrait, however, Mr. Knight found of little or no service in consequence of tie « ffec- tual manver in which Cha: tier contrived to disguise his appearance by shaving off his whiskers, cropping his light-colored hair short, and dyeing it a jet black. His French accent, -however, and the polish of his manners, at once betrayed him on his arrest. Charpentier on leaving New York made various doubles, taking different disguises at each turn, and finally assumed that of s com- mon laborer u the farm of a person by the name of Gatfield, some three miles below Can- terbury, and in the neighborhood of New- burgh Here he imagined himself secure, and at was his rise on being summoncd rom his bed to deliver himself into the hands of justice. ‘or two or three days previous to the arrest, Mr. Knight, who unaided, had followed the fugitive through all his doublings and dis- aises with unerring directness was concealed a the woods in thevicinity of this farm house, watching to be sure of his man. Upon the night of the arrest, having formed his plans, he engaged the services of two Newburgh offi- cers, without letting them into the secret of the party to be arrested, though their curiosi- ty was naturally highly excited, and tb ventured numerous conjectures, at one time supposing a it to be a seduction case, at another , and then that it might be con- nected with the great French robbery, which idea , however, rejected as improbable. About half-past nine o’clock at night, Mr. Knight with the officers drove past the farm house in a a they left at some dis tance in the shade of a fence, and then re- turned to thehouse. Leaving the officers out- side to prevent an eseape, Mr. Knight knocked at the door, and enquired for a person con- cealed there. The man who appeared at the door denied the presence of any such person in his house. Mr. Knight thereupon took a car- dle from the hands of a little girl who stood in the Passage, and proceeded to examine the house. in the second room he entered found Charpentier gougly esconced under the blau- with a handkerchief tied about his head after the French manner. Mr Knight arrest- ed him as stated yesterday, hand-cuffed him and took him to the wagon, and then the party started for Newburgh, taking care as they re- Passed the farm house with the wagon, to be well provided with arms in ease of an attempt at reseue. No such attempt was made, how- ever, and ifthe prisoner had any confederates about the premiscs they were doubtless par- alyzed by the unexpectedness of the descent. e have already described the solitary jour- ney of Mr. Knight to New York city with his a and his arrival there in the dead of night. One of the New York papers would seem t» intimate that Mr. Knight treated his prisoner with severity in leaving him hand-cuffed at the Sixth Ward station hoase; but we learn that Mr. Knight proposed to remove the hand cuffs, and that they were retained at the express sug gestion of Captain Dowling, for the geater se- curity of the prisoner So far from treating Charpentier unkindly, Mr. K. gave every pos sible attention to his comfort, and while wait- ing for the train on crogsing the river at New- burgh, had a fire built for his accommodation and abundant refreshments provided Having lodged bis prisoner in the hands of the officers, the next movement of Mr Kaight was to secure adeposite of concealed val- uableg, of the whereabouts of which Mr. Knight had obtained a clue befure leaving New York in pursuit of Charpen' but which had not been followed up lest ‘ight alarm the con- federates and interfere with the successful! pur- suit of the fugitive it had been arranged that immediately upon the arrest of Charpentier, information should be conveyed by telegraph to Now York city, and that a search should then be made for the roperty. In consequence of the arrest hav- a been made at night, it was impossible to telegraph the fact, and consequently Mr. Kaight hurried through to New York as rap- idly as pogsible with his prisoner, to prevent the alarm being given to those implicated, and took prompt measures on his arrival to have a search made before an opportunity was afforded to the confederates to secure the secreted property. This property, some $21,- 000 in value, was found in a small soldered tin box, enclosed in a wooden box about a foot square, buried under the brick flagging of aceilar in the basement of house No. 197, West Sixteenth street, occupied by a house carpenter named Frederick Couvet. The box containing the valuables was further protected and concealed by a couple of tons of coal Mr. Knight, in his plans and their success fal development fur the apprehension of Char- pentier and the discovery of the property, relied entirely upon bis own resources, with the single exception of the aid afforded him by the Newburgh officers at the tarm house. Maxwsu.’s.—We have recently visited the original Ladies’ Cloak and Mantilla Emporium of Mt xwell & Brother, No 328 Pennsyivanis avenue, and was agreeably surprised to see their very extensive assortment of those beau- tiful garments We feel confident that they are now displaying a3 great a variety of this description of iadies’ wrappings as any bouse south of New York, ana at very moderate prices ; and they are in constant receipt of ail velties in that branch of their trade advertisement, enumerating many of their new styles, may be found in the Star On their firet floor they exhibit a large stock of embroideries, ribbons, lace goods, ladies dress trimmings, &c, &c. The ladies will surely call and make their purchages in goad season. \ Democratic Msarine at Laura Factory. We learn that the Jackson Democratic Assv- ciation are making extensive arrangements to attend the Democratic meeting at Laure! Fac tory on the 30th inst. Round trip tickets wil! be issued by the railroad company at a smail price, and it is expected that a large crowd will go tothe meeting. A committee of twenty- one was appointed to make all arrangements and we have no doubt that it will be one of the largest meetings ever held in that neighbor- hood. We trust that the Democracy will turn outin their strength. Tox Bactiwore Faim.—The Clipper of this morning says The exhibition at the Hall of the Maryland Institute still continues to at tract increasing crowds of visitors, in the evenings the various rooms, as well as the great Hall, being actually packed with people moving in slow streams among the varied die- play of art aod usefulness The fine weather and the great number of strangers in the city have both contributed to swell their numbers. Indeed, no small part of the attraction are visitors themselves. The Blues Band enliven the afternoons as well aa the evenings with their excellent performances, which are evi- dently, as they ought to be, highly relished and appreciated.” AgRgsten —Yesterday, officer Kimball suc- ceeded in arresting a man named Charies Evartts, who was charged with being con- cerned in the larceny of a number of sheep, the property of Chester Wallbridge, and valued at about one hundred dollars. He was taken before Justice Bireb, who held him to security in five hundred dollars for a further hearing. Avanm or Fike.—Last night, about eight o’clock, the fre bells sounded an alarm, and some of the companies were called out, but the alarm proving to have originated frome bonfire in the western part of the city the companies returned to their quarters. Casz Dismissezp —Jno. Newman, whe was arrested by Officer Watson on a 0 of as sault and battery on Wm.

Mepicat Lacture.—We had not space in our yesterday evening’s issue to notice the io- troductory lecture delivered by Professor J. E. Morgan at the medical departmont of George- town College, in this city, on Monday evening last. His audience was compused of the stu- dents of the College and a brilliant assem- blage of ladies and gentlemen, comprising much of the talent and elite of the city. The lecture is spoken of as able production, and we regret that we have not a synopsis of it for Publication. This Medical College is now one of the most promising institutions of the coun- try. Usrrep Srates Warrants —We learn from some of our most energetic justices of the peace, that warrants issued in petty criminal cases are not a8 promptly served as heretofore The warrants issued in cases of riota, threats, as- saults, &o0 , are numerous, but few have been returned. Most of such warrants returned as yet have been served by the city police, the county constables as fur as possible declining to act when they can do so without making themselves liable to impeachment, as by act of Congress no fees are allowed in cases of this description. +20 ______ GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Grorertown, Oct. 22, 1856. An unusual amount of life and activity is every where visible ulong our wharves and Water street at thistime. We have rarely, if ever, seen such large quantities of merchan- dise coming in any previous fall as there is this. Every where, from the Aqueduct to the eastern terminus of the wharves, all is life and activity. Coal companies, millers, mer- chants of every class, both flour, groceries, lumber and wood, the coopers, carts and drays all appear busy. Such a thing a: an idle in- dividual among either of the above classes, or vehicle of any kind, is hard to find. It is gratifying, too, to see that business houses of almost every description in this locality have considerably increased during the last few years, and thecry is still they come. Ina few days more we are to have opened, by two of our enterprising young citizens, another wholesaie grocery and commission house on a pretty extensive scale. These are certainly encouraging signs of iperess | prosperity “ Yet lack we onething,”’ not only to increase, but toenable us to hold on to what we have. The construction of our railroad and the deep- ening of our channel are actually indispensa- ble, and the sooner we, as a community, re- solve to made a vigorous and determined effort to secure the benefits which would cer- tainly result from these improvements the better it will be for us. Fears are entertained that the schooner B. F. Reeves, Capt. Shaw, has been lost. She sailed from Salem, Mase, in August, with a cargo of nlaster for Messrs. Morgan & Rhine- bart When last heard from, she had put into Morristown in a leaky condition, and fears are entertained that she was lost in the heavy storm which occurred in September. Quite an interesting protracted meeting is now going on at the West Georgetown Metho- dist church under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Mr Gotwalk. Last night, our venerable fellow ortizen, the Rey. Mr Cooper, preached for them oue of his usually solemn and tellin discourses discourses; and the Rev. B. Brown is announced to preach for them this evening The flour market remains steady at $7a7.12 for good staudard brands, and sales this morn- ing of extra at $7 25 Wheat is coming in pretty freely and selling $1 48a$1.50 for good qualities of red and white. —— Union Electoral Ticket Nominated. Hanxeisnone, Oct 21 —The Union Conven- tion called by Thadeus Stevens to furm an anti-Buchanan electoral ticket assembled here this afternoon, most of the counties being rep- reseuted. A committee of one from each Sen- torial district was appointed to report per- manent officers During the absence of the committee the address of Charles Gibbons, the President of the Republican executive com- mittee, exposing the course of John P. San- derson in relation to the electoral ticket, was read for the information of the members of the convention. It excited much feeling. Despatches received from Phiade!phi nouncing the intention of the Americans to denounce and repudiate Sanderson's course roduced much excitement and applause muel Todd, of Cumberland, was selected President of the ene OP made an eloquent speech. ter which a committee aa appointed to form an electoral ticket, who reported as ticket upon by the union committee in Philadelphia. A committee was then appointed, the president to act as chair man, to prepare an address with authority to sign the names of the members of the conven- tion. The closing scenes of the Convention were very exciting. Finally they adjourned with nine cheers for the ticket. f Harpisure, Oct. 21 —A mass meeting was held this evening to endorse the Union eleoto- ralticket Gov.
