LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Merrorotitan Mecuasics’ Institere.—An adjourned meeting of the Board of Managers of the Metropolitan Mechanics’ Institute was held last night at the Aldermen's room, City Hall, Mr. Tv ‘Waiter in the chair ‘The Recording Secretary being absent, the min- utes of the preceeding meeting were not read. Mr. Jno. T. Mitchell was nominated and elected Seeretary pro tem ; Standing Committee appointed at the an- nual meeting to make inquiry im regard toa site fora hall forthe Tastitute teported that nosite had yet been selected. Mc. Stansbury said that the committee had ex- amined several locations, but none had thus far been considered suitable ; the idea of a hall over posed new market-house had been aban- doned by the committee as being impracticable. The committee had sites in view, but were not yet prepared to make a report. Mr. S. said that im order to interest the minds of the citizens in the welfare of the Institute, a had been dis- cussed in the committee to open aciass of appren, tices and others, for the purpose of directing them jn a course of preparation for future usefulness by lectures and o_o illustrations in the ele- mentary p:inciples of mechanical science. Such » school would, in his opinion, be of much ser- viee to apprenticed mechanics, as making them understand as fast ax they became advanced in their various trades, the principles on which het were founded. He would cheerfully lend his ai to the accomplishment of this object, by giving his personal bape an noob -pod - popcorn might wish to take advantage of suc = canty to become familiar with the fundamental princi of mechanics The Chairman (Mr. Walters) said that the plan ro) by Mr. 5. was received with great ap- rohation by the public. The young men of yashington had no good place of nightly resort, and such a scheme Soa be bene by is studiously disposed of our you g ul cochaauaee as opening a pathway for them to fu- ture useful ‘itions. “The Seclotary (Mr. Mitcheil) endorsed the plan for the pro; class, and said that the sooner it was put In operation the better. He pro- that, as the opening of this elementary school wonld be attended with some expense for mechanical justruments, &c., some arrangement should be made by the Board to meet those ex- noes Mr Stansbury observed that the necessary ex- nse wonld not be great. Mr. Mitchell then pro that the Institute should become chargeable with the cost of proper drafts, designs, instruments, &c., for the proposed school = The Board adopted the proposition of Mr. Mit- il ; “The Board then adjourned to meet in two weeks at the same place. Patxtixe Orvice Squane.—The sale of lots in this now well known square of Washington, that is to come off on Monday next, offers, we think, a capital opportunity for investments; more espe- cially to persons of small means. The immense business already transacted on that square, re- uiring most of the year the labors of, perhaps, three hundred operatives, will never be less, and, in time may be much ; rater; for it is probable that much of the manufacturing business of the city will centre in that quarter on account of the proximity of the railread depot, and the compara- tive cheapness of real estate Besides, va- rious persons of wealth ha ately made heavy purchases in the vicinity—Messrs. W. W. Corco- ran, Stephen A. Douglas, Rice, of Minnesota. and others—with the design of se costly houses, we sce by the newspapers. Under these circumstances, any investments that can be made there at such prices as property will bring at auc- tion, can hardly fail to prove fortunate ones, if the purchaser has the means of holding on to them. The proprietors of the square offer a lib- eral discount to purchasers who erect buildings worth 600 within the year. It is their interest for them do so; insomuch as their numerous em- ——- must at this time be sadly inconvenienced oy the lack of boarding accommodations, stores, and other cotiveniences within a reasonable dis- tence of their work. We shali not be surprised to see the whole square closely built up within a year. Wasp Meetixne—The Anti-Kuow Nothings of the Fourth Ward held a meeting last night, at the Perseverance engine-house, the object being the nomination of candidates for the coming June election. Dr. William Jones was elected to the chair, and Ed_ Klopfer appointed secretary. The following nominations were made by the meeting For Alderman—John A. Goddard, Esq. For Common Council the preseni incumbents ‘were renominated, viz: Elijah Edmonston, Jas. A. Kennedy, Riebard H. Ciark. For Assessor—T. W. Burch. Several speeches were made, and considerable eatbusiasm prevailed. The following named gentlemen were selected to represent the Fourth Ward in the convention to nominate candidates for the city offices : Hugh B. Sweeny, George D. Spencer, Cornelius Wen- dell, Wm. H. Ward, Edward Evans. The candidates were unanimouely confirmed, and then the meeting adjourned. River News.—This morning the river in the vicinity of our city wharves was dull and basi- Ress slow.

Tue Cottectorsuir.—Attracted by an article in the editorial columns of the “Star,” of the 2th ulti- mo, to the importance of our coming election, and to the short period we have in which to select suitable candidates for the offices to be filled under our char- ter, | have deemed it not inappropriate to address, through the “ Star,” the Anti-Know Nothing voters of the city, with the view of asking their serious attention to the selection of a proper candidate for the office of Collector. It seems to be the general impression of onr fel- low citizens of all parties, that the afiairs of the Collector's office are at present ina sad state of eun- fusion, Regen: ich imeonvenience, as well ax loss to the public; if this be so, as indeed we are warranted to believe from official reports of th Councils recently presented to the public, it be- hooves us now, more than ever, to select for this office a gentleman not only of character and stand- ing, but one also eminently govern by professional education and possessing, if possible, the practical experience to discharge all its various and intricate duties, promptly, correctiy, and efliciently. We have sucha one o blic by his friends; ualifications and peculiar fit int him out as in every re- spect worthy of the trust; and as one for whom all our fellow- citizens could vote, with the fall assu- rance that the public interests would not suffer in hus hands.
