LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. \ Caance or Hansonive Runaway Siaves On Tuesday last a charge was preferred against Howard Brooks for harboring run- away slaves, and an examination into it took Place at the guard house before Justice Mor- weil. The evidence was as follows: Samuel Moreland, being sworn, testified that his father's slave rauaway; that a man came to his father’s house and asked him if his boy had not ranaway? be told him he had; the man thea said the boy was in Penn- sylvania, but could be got in two hours; wit- ness remarked that it was a long drive; the man’s name was Owens; he said he would get the boy for $250; my father told him he would give Lim $150 if he caught the boy out of the State; witnees said he would not have any one go where the bey was for a thousand dol lars; witness came to town with Owens and saw Brooks; Brooks said the boy was in the country, but be would have him in the morz- ing; Brooks and Owens consulted together; they seemed to act in concert, Ow appa- rently acting as ranner for Brooks; witness did not go into Brooks’s house, but got the boy at the cars; Brooks brought him there; Brooks told him (Moreland) that he knew where the negro was, but that it would’nt do to get him at that time; witness fs son of Not- ley Moreland; negro’s name is Wm Bell. Thompson Nailor sworn, said he went with Moreland last Sunday evening to hunt for Uwens; found him at the Steamboat Hotel; asked him about the negro; Brooks came in and said he had been “ acting abolitioner,”’ and had sn old negro working for him to catch these runaway slaves; Brooks said he knew where Moreland’s nae was. but there was no possibility of getting him till morning; when we were at the cars in walked the negro. and we seized him and I handcuffed him; it was agreed that Brooks should walk in first, but he did not [Owens was here brought in by Officer Wil- Niamaon, and he was charged with harvoring slaves | T. PF. Owens deposed that he was directed by Brooks to goto Mr. Moreland and make the suggestions or propositions he had mado. The examination was postponed until noon, and the accused were released on bail. When the parties met at the office of Jus- tice Morseil, at 12 m , Mr. Martin appeared as counsel for Mr. Brooks and Mr. Wharton for the prosecution Samuel Moreland being called, Mr. Martin objected to the evidence aa far #s Owons’ statements to the witness related to Brooks. Mr. Wharton would not press Moreland’s examination at this tims, but would cali Mr. Owens. Mr. Martin objected to requiriag this wit- ness (Owens) to say anything ter ding to crim- inate himself. Upon this objection, a long discussion en- sued between Messrs. Wharton and Martin. Mr. T. Nailor was then called by the prose- cution, snd asked if he heard the contesaion of Owens at the guard-house. Mr. Martin objected to the confessions of Owene as evilence against Brooks Mr. Wharton regarded this as the continu- ance of anexamination at which Owens had admitted under oath, voluntarily, that be acted as the agent of Brooks in this affair The evidence of Owens was already before the Justice, and it did not now matter whether be made the statement or not, he should bring sufficient evidence to justify the trial of this cause before a higher court. Mr. Martin seid he bad heard no confes fessions of Owens, and did not know what he had declared, but duty to aclient required him to use all advantages that he discovered Justice Morssli said that the statement of Mr. Owens, made uader oath, was before him, aad he considered himself in duty bound to consider it as evidence J.F Corteney sworn —I think I have seen that man (the ranaway) before; I think I saw him at Brooks; could not swear he was the same mag ; I think Friday night was the last time I saw him there; I saw him several times, 1 board there. Thompson Nailor recalied.—Brooka told me be could get the boy: he had him at an old negro man's place ; the negro man worked for him (Brooks) in that business; he asked me if they caught him at bis house would they say anything with reference to catching him there; 1 told bim no; when we got the negro he (the negro) came into the depot by himself; Brooks was to have come in first; but he did not. J. 5. Yates sworn.—On Saturday Mr. Bzooks came to my house, (Steambeat Hotel) and asked for Owens; I told him he was at the stable; meanwhile Owens came in; Brooks said to him he know where the nogro was, and told bim if he would see about the reward he would get him ; he (Yates) didn’t understand the arrangements. Samuel Moreland re-called—I did not re- fuse to pay the reward; don’t know that the negro was delivered up at ail; hecaine by himself. N Moreland sworn —At my house Owens asked if I bad not lost a servant, I told nimI bad; hoasked me what I would give tor him; { told him it was advertised; he said ‘‘ we have seen that, but we would not look at it;’’ he then said ‘‘ he’s in Fennsyl- vania, but we could have him here to-night,”’ but wouldn't take the trouble for the reward offered; I then said, thai’s a long distance, but my son can go with you and get him with- out trouble; he said he would not have it khown where he was fur ten thousand dollars; I promised to give him the two amounts men- tioned in the advertisement, making one hun- dred and fifty dollars, if he caught him and pat bim im jail. Joseph Williamson (officer) sworn—When the boy was taken out of jail, where he had been placed on being caught at the cars, I went with him to Brooks’s house; he described the premises to mo, and taking his explana- tions I went to work and succeeded in captar- ing another man there, a runaway, whois now in jail; he has been identified by the agent of his owner, and retained by his authority; I also got sundry goods, consisting of thread, gaiter tops, and pistols; 1 got the goods from « shed in the back-yard Martha Riggs sworn for defence —I have stopped at Brooks five weeks on Monday last; never saw this man there except last night ; William, the one now in jail, was often there; I have known him all w: life; William makes use of the shed where the goods were found The evidence here closed, and Mr Martin demanded the dismissal of the eases on the ground of its insufficiency. Mr. Wharton reviewed the evidence and ar- gued that it was apparent from it that the ne- gro bad been retained to extort a larger re- ward Justice Morsell said that the case was one of some importance and required a fair and es bearing He hoped he had been able to give it such a hearing in this its pre- liminary stage The evidence before him he thought sufficient to justify him in hold: Dg both Brooks and Owens to bail for their pearance at the criminal court. Brooks for harboring the and Owens as an acces. sory. He remar! that had the slaves es- caped the amount of bail would have been larger; but wader present circumstances would require each to give bail in $250. T parties then gave bail and were released from custody. Their bail was Messrs George W. Hinton, merchant tailor, and Joseph Beasley, proprietar of hacks, A Sap Case.—Near twelve o’slock on Wed- nesday night a young woman was found stag- gering about the streets intoxicated, with a oung babe in her arms. The woman and or it were taken to the.guard where they were cared for when her husband made his a search of her, and told his tale the Captainofthe Guard. Such to liquor, be said control, and the him for the supply of the family was sold by her to parchase whisky to gratify her debased appetite. The Justice, under the circum- stances, sent her to the work-house. the morning, arance in troubles to ’ t, a number of young arate @and ep ttesy ens by goi to house threatening the nein ap as- Y streets, and. behaving y rious ways. ‘Three of them, William Sullivan, J. and Richard T. — were arrested “eonfined in the guatd house; but before they were secured they offered resistance. Ennis p stecren a loaded pistol at a watchman, but another officer seized it and twisted the barrel from the stock. Sullivan showed resistance but was secured and thrown into the per’s dock. Their conduct in the cells when the magistrate arrived: made no good impression in their favor. Several warrants were served upon them if the guard house, and this morning a bench warrant was sorved upon Ennis by the Deputy Marshal. They were all committed to jail by Justice Donn Other complaints chiens against them in the guard house, but-the witnesses wore afraid to appear. Sul- livan is the young man not long since tried for the murder of Capt. Bell a/zas Caspar Kobrman, at a ball on Seventh street, near the north boundary of Washington. B F. Howard was arrested this morning, and held to security in $266 for his appear- ance at court, to anewer the charge of riot with Jones, Sullivan and Ennis. # A Meeting or raz Faiexps or tae Late C. Cuemenr VENABLE, murdered in Granada, Nicaragua, was held at the Mayor’s office, at the City Hall, on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of taking measures to bring home the remaing of the deceased. Col. M. Thompson was called to the chair, and on taking his seat made a few appropri- ate remarks eulogizing the many virtues of the deceased. Eloquent tributes to his memory were also id by several gentlemen present. and reso- utions of sympathy for the bereaved family were adopted. A committee, consisting of Messrs Ashford, Spencer, Mills, Anderson and Williams, was appointed to devise means to carry out the ob- ject of the meeting.

Gaorcetows, Nov. 21, 1856, A Havi.—Complaint was male to the Cap- tain of the Guard on Wodnesday night, that a large number of colored persons had as sembled at Logan’s old mill, near the north- ero boundary of the Fourth Ward, for some oodeee The Captain, with the Chief of ‘olice, organized a party from the police and guard, who proceeded to tho mill and suc- ceeded in capturing fourteen colored persons, male aad female, who bad gathered there it seems for the purpose of holdinga ball. They were taken to the guard house and fined each five dollars and costs, amounting in the ag- regate to $90.16. The officers met a num- ae of white persons there, but they being merely lookers on and not disorderly, the law did not apply to them. Tas Mite Society Festivar, at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, presented a gay scene last night; the spacious saloon being filled ‘ pretty women and brave men.”’ The ladies of the society seemed to vie with each other in their attentions to visitors, in which they happily succeeded, as all appeared to be weil pleazed. The stock of et ceteras on sale, as well as the supper and confectionery tables were vory at- tractive—to say nothing ef the smiling faces and bright eyes of those whose positions at the tables kept them busily engaged waiting upon the buyers The Festival is to be continued for some days yet; i ji of tho managers, (aid in rebuilding Wesley Chapel edifice,) it is hoped they may reap a rich return. —i Masonic Funerau.—St. John’s Lodge No. 11, met at the lodge room on Ninth street yes- terday morning at 9 o’elock, and marched in procession, preceded by Weber’s band. to at- tend the fanoral of Tobias Martin, a brother of theorder. The servicee took place at (irace church, Island, where a most impressive and appropriate discourse was delivered by the astor of the church, Rev. A. Holmead. A Le Deum, admirably rendered by the choir, closed the services at the church, after which the procession was formed again, and accom- anied the remains of the deceased to the ongressional burying ground. Larcexyy —A girl about fifteen years of age, vamed Mary Hays was arrested on Wed nesday evening on a charge of larceny of clothing. money, tc. She was taken before Justice Donn, who heard the evidence against ber and committed her to jail for trial at court. Her youth, and the circumstances connected with her misconduct, excited pity in the large crowd of persons present, and several were ready to assist her, but it being whispered that similar kindness had heretofore been thrown away upon her, she was allowed to go to prison Natioxan Tagatae.—The friends of the drama, and who wish to see its most deserving representatives adequately supported, should eertainly feel it a duty to make the benefit of Mr. Booth to-night a substantial one. He appears in two Shaksperean characters, “Shy- rake? and “Petruchio” in “Taming the Shrew’’ and the ‘: Merchant of Venice,’’ a range which will afford him ample scope fur the exercise of the versatility for which he is distinguished. Trrowine Stoxes.—The boys arrested a day or two since on complaint of Caroline Sanderson for throwing stenes, have for some time past been @ great nuisance in the neigh- borhood of G, between Ninth and Tenth streets, where they have repeatedly stoned the orphan asylum and houses of various citizens. It is welt that information has at length been lodged against them, and it is to be hoped that the police will now put a complete stop to their mischief. Ax Osazrvancr or Yestenvay.—Thochil- dren of St Vincent's Orphan Asylum, 114 in number, sat down yesterday to a glori- ous thankegiving dinner provided for them by the liberality of a public spirited citizen, who sent them 4 turkeys, 12 chickens, 20 Ibs. sausages, 20 pies, 30 loaves of bread, 300 as- sorted cakes, with vegetables, &c , to match. ‘The little things enjoyed themselves vastly. Tas Batt or tae Goop Witt Cuve at Ca- rusi’s Saloon was, as we anticipated, a spirited and handsomely attended affair. The Good Will Club has certainly the ability to get up a ball in first class style, and what we con- sider most creditable to them, is the disposi tion displayed by all the members to make their visitors at home. Esputa’s band offici- ated with characteristic ability. Darixe Act.—On Wednesday night, somo young scamps broke the window of Munck’'s gun shop and stole ver which had been placed there. The act was committed while the proprietor and others were sitting in the store. Two boys were suspected, but have not been arrested, Our Gaeauan Frviow-Citizens enjoyed themselves to the utmust at the ball given by Winneb: Tribe No. 9, Inde em.
