‘LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Wasutneton Firew ¢ Richmond Whig, of Tuesday, says: “tye M Hitsn Hook and Ladder Com- pany of Washington arrived here yesterday afternoon in the Northern train, via Aquia creek, and were received by the Richmond Hook and Ladder Company. No.1. The vis- itors were escorted through several of the principal streets to Lafayette Hall, where an excellent repast awaited them, served up in asterly style by Robert Read, of the Veran- i Hotel. The Metropolitaus were welcomed to the city, in behalf of the Richmond fire- men, by the Mayor, Joseph Mayo, E-q, ina neat and appropriate address, to which Mr. W.J Martin, president of tke Mctropolitan company, responded in one of the most elo- quent and felicitous speeches we havo cver listened to on such snoccasion. The visiting firemen are accompanied by Esputa’s band, comprising a portion of the celebrated Marine bi of Washington. The cfficers are W. J Martin, president; P. M Dubant, marshal ; Thomas Stone, first vice president ; John Su- ter, second do; Charles Orme, secretary ; and John Chauncey, treasurer We learn that they will visit Petersburg on Wednesday. To-day they will be the guests of our firemen, and will parade throuzh the streets under the escort of the entire depa:.ment ”’ From the Richmond D‘spatch of yesterday we leara that the Metropo'itan was enter- tained or Tuesday moising by Libertv Fire Company, No. 1, with a splendid co!lation, ia Lsfayetie Hail, prepared by John C. Haley. In the a{teiaoon, the :everal Fire Compar‘es of the city formed a procession, and escor‘ed the visitors through the principal streets of the city. The pageant was very beautifol and imposing. At r‘ght the Metrepclitan was on- tertained by an elegant supper by the mem- bers of the gallant wherix at the armory of the Young Guard. The occasion was joyous and happy, all apparently being determined to epjoy tae occasion to the fullest extent, and to make their gues's equs"'y happy. Borzgugr’s —We do not know an establish- ment in the limits of the Union where one will find a richer assortment of elegant and recherche house furnishing articles than that of the Messrs. Boteler, at Iron Hall. We were really surprised, yesterday, on being shown through their spacio les rooms. to find that they have on exbibition every do- scription of artistic work in their }’ne obtrin- able anywhero on this continent, and many such things which one would hardly expect ‘09 meet out of Europe. They import Cbina ware from France direct, and exhibit great taste in their orders for such goods. Their plated ware, too. though rivaling anything of the kind produced abroad, is mostly of American manufacture Besides the large collection of oil paintings gracing their shelves, they have some pastiles (erayon paintings) produced in New York, wnich are very beautiful. We may particularize a head representing Winter —in a series of four, each representing a season—which will vie with any crayon paint- ing now in this country. Their collection is no less rich in ordinary articles. for they keop everything needful in their line, down to ten- penny candlesticks, and sixpenny mugs, or shilling pokers. A Desperate Finaxctrr —Last night, a man named Peter O'Day ran to the guard house half dreszed and bare-foot, and asked for assistance to prevent being robbed and beaten by a party who were then in bis houso. Peter had received a considerable amount of rent from tenants of a gentleman for whom he acted as agent, and aman namei Caveny had been lurking around his house since the pay- ments were made. Last night. this fellow put out the lights in the house and commenced to batter the furniture, especially around the drawer where Peter had locked biscash. The officers succeeded in arresting Caveny after a hard struggle and lodged him in the guard- Nouse This mornirg, Peter stated in evi- dence that though “the furniturs was so broken that it was not worth a fip,”’ he found his money, $147, in a rag at the bottom of the drawer Caveny resisted the officers as long as be could, flourishing a long knife and threa‘- niog to kill the first man who attempted to ass into the house; but he was overpowered y Officers Cooper and Birch, and this morning disposed of by Justice Morsell, who sent him to jail More Scorypretis.—We have had oeca- sion tu notice several instances lately of ladies having their dreeses ruined by vitriol, oil, ke , thrown upon them by some concealed scoun- drels. Thus far the villains have carried on their dastardly business with perfect impuni- ty; indeed, they seem daily t> grow bolder it would appear that they lie concealed in cellars along the sidewalk, and, watching their opportunity, project the destructive matter throught the grating by means of a syringe On Tuesday evening, about dusk, Mrs George Parker and daughter had each a costly dress ruined in this dastardly manner while walk ing on the Avenue between Four-and-a-ha'f and Ninth streets. We sincerely hope that the perpetrators of these deeds may be detected and appropriate- ly dealt with. McGeer’s.—The new Cloak and Mantilla emporium of Mr McGee, on Pennsylvania avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, would grace Broadway, New York, so beautiful are all its arrangemen‘s, and s0 strictly in keepicg is it with those of similar fashionable establishments in the commercial emperium of the Union. Purchasers will find there every descziption of goods in the pro- prietor’s line, ranging from the cheapest up to the most beautiful and costly that are im- ported; and also, attentive, respectful and pa tient clerks to waitonthem. Mr. McGee’s en- terprise deserves the reward that the ladies of Washington, so renowned for good taste in dress, will certainly accord to it. Larcesy ano Assautt.—Yesterday morn ing, Martha Ann Jackson was arrested by Police Officer Mit:hell and taken before Jus ties Donn, to answer the charge of stealing certain goods belonging to her busband, Den- nie Jazkson. The statements were heard, and the Justice decided that the better plan would be for each to take the goods and aivide them fairly and then separate quietly, and to this thev agreed. As soon as this case was set- tied, the Justice informed Dennis that there was a warrant for bim, and ho must arswer for an assault and battery on his wife. He not having his witnesses present, was allowed to give bail for a further cearing. Inrrovenests —We notice that workmen have been busily engaged during this week with the sewers at varicus points on Pennzyl- vania avenue. This work is done by order of the Goveroment, and is designed to affurd greater facilities for preserving cleanline-s upon the streets and gutters When the im- provements are completed little trouble will be given those who are disposed to keep the sidewalks in front of their property in good order. Democratic Mgetixe at Tenxnattytown. We learn that there will be a meeting of the Democrats in the wood adjoining Tennally- town, on Tuesday next. Gen. Gaither aid Mayor Magruder of this city, and Wm. V Bowie, Robert Ould, Richard Crawford, and istiuguished popular speakers have nvited to speak. The public are re- quested to assemble at 2 0’clock, p. m. Pror. Mcxper.—We sre glad to see thai this accomplished teacher of dancing is getting along swimmingly at his new ball, corner of D and Ninth streets. We bear that bis class is already wuch larger than during any pre vious season, and that accessions are being made to it daily. Centre Msrxzr —There was a very fine eupply in most of the departments of the mar ket this morning. In the butchers and vege- table ranges business appeared to be lively The hay stands were occupied, but the demand was not very great RerorxeD.—The National Guards, Captain James A. Tait, have returned to this city from their recent trip to York, Pa They appear to be in excellent spirits and highly pleased with their visit Warcn Returss —Timotby Coveney, for drunkenness, profanity and malicious mis- ebief, was ah $5 and costs, and sent to jail for trial at the criminal court. Margaret Had ton, resisting officers and disorderly conduct ; 90 GHORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Ggoreerown, Oct. 23, 1856. No question has been before our citizens and corporation for many years in which all parties and classes seem to take eo much in- terest, or which gave riso to as much private discussion, as the late act of Congress to amend ourcity charter. In regard to the ne- cessity or justice of carrying out its provisions there exists a great contrariety of opinion ; and what will be its ultimate fate we are not prepared to say. One thing is certain, how- ever, and that is, that it was sought and ob- tained for political effect. Consequently we are of the opinion that such a measure—one changing the organic law of the town for all future time—should not be hastily acted upon or fastened upon us without first being sub- mitted to the people for their decision at the ballot box. The elaborate repori of the Re- corder, together with the act of Congress, and the ordinance prepared by the Recorder for carrying out the provisions of the act, will be before the Councils in proper form to-morrow evening. A Young Mens’ Union Demcaratic Associa- tion was formed in our city last night, and the following gentlemen elected officers: Jas. White, Presiaent; John Shackleford, Vice President ; B. Howard, Secretary, and Jobn |’ Herd, Treasurer. Tho number in attendance Was quite large, and the proceedings of a spir- ited character. We learn this organization is intended to be permanent The number of vessels along our wharves this morning is smaller than hus been for sev- eral days. The large fleet that was up a few days ago having all been freighted with flour, grain, cor', &c., forthe eastern and northern ports. The flour and grain markets are firm and active at our prices of yesterday, and tending upwards. Srecrator. ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. ALEXANDRIA, Oct 23, 1856. Our people were startled yesterday moning to hear that Dr. J. M. Burwell, a young phy- sician who has long resided in this city, had been found lying dead in an open space near the Mount Vernon cotton factory, his throat shockingly mangled. Upon investigation by a jury of inquest, it was discovered that the deceased met the Watch ata late hour op Tuesday night, and being found laboring under some mental halluciaation, was detained a short while by them, but in a short time he soemed so rational that he left them; and yesterday morning his body was discovered as mentioned above. Beside him, at a short distance, was found a small pocket knife, known as his. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death in consequence of wounds inflicted by hisownhands The affair caused adeep and painful sensation to pervade the community throughout all yesterday. Several other deaths also took piace. Mr. Moses Henning, well known on the route be- tween Alexandria and Washington, died rather suddenly just before day, and ere the morning wore away Hugh Smith, Esq., whose name has been familiar te Alexandria for nearly three quarters of a century, pussed away to a better world The trial trip on the Alexandria and Wasb- ington Railroad will be made this week, and in a short time tLe trains will commence run- ning regularly. The baggage and mail cars, with one of the neatest of locomotives, are al- ready on the track, and the other lowemotive, which came up from Richmond on Saturday, will soon follow its predecessor. The Alexandria Democracy contemplate, and have made preparations for, a grand demon- stration and mass meeting in this city to-night. Though but a few days have elapsed since the affair was first projected, it will undoubt- edly do credit to the public spirit of the Dem- ocrats here Atorch-light procession and mass meeting have been agreed upon. Thirty-one little misses, with flugs, are to pergonate the States of the Union A glee club, in an open carriage, will head the procession, and the coon killer will thander The Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad Company assewbled in annual meet- ing at their office in this city, on Tuesday, and elected the following officers: President— Lewis McKenzie, of Alexand: Directors— Jas. Mclllhany, of Loudoun; Province Mc Cormick, of Clark, and. F. Lee, of Alexan- andria. Examining Committee—A S, Bra- den, P. P. Smith, and R H. Miller. The company contemplate a connection at some point on the Potomac with a railway from Hagerstown, thus offering to the District of Columbia all the advantages of the Metro- politan railroad at scarce a tythe of the cost. The merchants are still busily engaged in their fall trade, large quantities of goods leaving Alexandria every day by the railroad and river White—white $1.50a31 58, red $1.45a$1 51. Corn 60a63c.

The Lancaster (Pa) Whig says that the vote of that county was 3,000 less than usual. ‘* That country is the most prosperous where labor commands the greatest reward.”’—Buch- anuan, Lucius M. Sargent, distinguished as a lit- erary man and an old Jine Whig, comes out for Wesaieak in the Boston Transcript Gens. Houston and Rusk held a debate at Nagodoches, Texas, on the ]6thof last month, in which hard intellectual blows were given and received. Ex-Gov Pennington, of New Jersey, has de- clined a reelection to Congress. Hon. J. Phillips Phoenix also declines the nom‘nation in the first district of New York Col. Willard, Goveraor elect of Indiana, arrived at Louisville on Saturday evening. and met with an enthusiastle reception {rom his political friends. We understand that thero wil! be a juint diccussion at Colesville, Montgomery county, Md, op Saturday next, totween Mich. W. Cluskey, representing the Democratic party, and J. HH. G@. McCutchen, Esq , representing the American party Gen Lane and others will address the meeting after the discussion. The very savage speech of Colonel Savage, of Tennessee, in which he knifed tho Repub- licans and Koow Nothingsin the House of Representatives, has been re published in pamphlet form in Tennessee in addition to the immense number struck off here, and has been most exten:ively circulated in the West. Hon John J. Crittenden made an eloquent Fillmore speech at Louisviile on Monday evening in the previous Saturday evening fion. Thomas F. Marshall also made a speech there in favor of a fusion with the Republi cans wherever it may be necessary to ensure the defeat of Buchanan. The Louisville Jour- nal disapproves of Mr. M.’s sentiments Nathaniel P. Banks, jr, the Republican Know Nothing Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives, and one of Fremont’s present confidential friends, said in his late speech in Wall street: ‘Out of the State of New York, the larger portion of the Republican party consists of persons whoacted with the Amer- tean party, and will do soagain as soon as the Kansas question ts finally settled. The Congressional vote of Ohio shows the election of eight Democrats to the next Con- gress and eight Republicans.
