Seinen, Marshal-in-Chief. Wasaixetox, Feb 2, 1857 Ssoottxe, any Prosanne Munpen —The Alexandria Sentinel of yesterday afternoon says: We are deeply pained to have to rezord a case of probable homicide, which occurred this morning about 8 o clock, in Eldred’s res- taurant, under the Marshall House, corner of King and Pitt streets. James Welch was shot by John T Edd, the ball entering just above the left eye, inflicting a very severe wound Welch fell immediately, and was borne to his home at hie father’s, at the luwer end of R street, where Drs. Broun and Chai promptly rendered him modical g His situation early this morning was regarded ashopelers After firing the pistol, Edd re- treated from bar room to the billiard room, where he was arrested by Ufficer Chipley He was taken before Justices English and Sum- mers, who committed him to jail to await the resuli of Welch’s wound Without entering into the minute particulars of the limited testimony before the Justices, it appears that Welch was behaving rather boisterously in the restaurant, when Edd re- monstrated with him; that thereupon Weleh applied an insulting and opprobrious epitiet to Edd, which the latter warned him not to repeat; that Welch then said, « What I say fizet I say last;’’ whereupon Edd drew a pistol and fred The weapon used wasa five barrel revolver. Welch, we uuderstand, is a brother of the youth who was killed at the circus in this city aout three years ago Edd is a married man. He is the same person who, a few hours before shooting Welch, had caught the child thrown from the window of Straus’s burning dwelling What a wonderful compound tc man! . Both parties had been at the fire, and bat- thing with the flames Both, it is said, were under the excitement of liquor. To this, and to the pr e of carrying deadly weapons, is the tragedy to be attributed which has shocked our community, and brought the deepest au- guish upon two families S 4p m—We learn that Welch yet lies in a most precaricus condition ‘The pby- sicians have succeeded in extracting one ball which bad lodged just above the cheek, but the impression is that another ball yet re maios. Little hupe is entertained of his ye- covery. Matrers in GEORGETOWN —The severe weatber and the bad condition of the roads prevents the arrival of many dealers from the country, consequently, business is not so lively as usual, though quite as lively as could be expected under the circumstances ‘Tbe approaching municipal election appenrs to be the principal topic of conversation ainong the citizens. who are zealously engaged in working for the suecess of their candidates Robbery — James Simms and Sam’) Burdett were arrested on Monday, by Oficers Trunneli and Gross, on a charge of stealing sixteen chickens, four geese, and sixteen dozen egus, from the sleigh of John D.

The roperty was recovered at Crown’s house he prisonere were tzken beture Justice Reaver, who, sf er examining the testimony, committed Simms and Burdett to the county jail on the larceny ebarge, and Crown was heid to bail for court for receiving the stolen goods Simms is the ron, and Crown the son in law, of Jas S mm, ack on the Democratic idential campaign. Tre avare of fire last evening, about 7 o'clock, was caused by the explosion of alamp at a store on Massachusetts avenue, in the Fourth Ward. But little damage was done.

Tas Iwavevration Censuonies.—TheChief | Baxu ror rm: Saloon to-morrow night, for the benefit of the poor, promises to be an agroeable affair; and we have ro doubt the managers will be able to hand over to the treasurer a handsome amount.

Tae Mate is entirely behind the times, and is beaten every day by private enterprise. Thus the New all about town last night in the hands of the periodical dea! and newsboys, and yet up to 11 o'clock to-day have not come to hand by mail. Uncle Sam must wake up! A Raitroap Accingxt took place on Mon- day on the Orange and Astin railroad, near Madison station, by which an engine was precipitated down a bank ten feet high.

This morniug, his friends not being willing to foot the bill, he was committed to the workhouse for thirty days. Poutce Magistrate —Since the terms of Justices Morsell and Birch as sitting magis- trates at the central guard house have ended, dastice Paul Stevens, of the second district, has resumed his sittings at that station. The commission of Justice Stevens will also expire io a few weeks. Concent.—We learn that the ladies at Mrs. Spaulding s boarding house are to have acon- cert to-night, commencing at 8 o'clock, the proceeds of which will be banded over for distribution among the poor. We doubt not that it will succeed, to the gratifleation of all concerned. A Rove axp Tumse Fiat tock place she this morning at the corner of D and welfth streets, between two well known citi- zens of the Second Ward, all about a house which citizen No 1 had sold to citizen No 2, and which the latter had rented to improper persons.
