LOCAL INTEELIGENCE. Tux Usion Nomtnarinc Convention, held atthe Assembly Rooms last night, was largely attended, and the proceedi: were characterized by much harmony and feeling. by W_A. The meeting was called to or Ward, Esq ,and the names of the delegates from the various wards were called. Col. Jas. G. Berrett was a) inted Chairman, and Hudson Taylor and Dr. W. F. Wallace Sec- retaries. A motion made by C. 8. Jones for the adoption of the two-thirds rule was rejected. The Convention then entered upon the nomina- tien of a City Collector, to be supported at the Jane election. On the first ballot James F. Haliday received 17 votes, John H. Bartlett 15, and Nicholas Cal- Tan 3. On the second ballot Mr. Haliday received: 21, and Mr. Bartlett 14. Mr. — accordingly declared to be the a oft 2° Baap Mr. Lenox lea pane acknowledgment In behalf of Mr. Haliday for the honor conferred upon him by the nomination. Mr. William Morgan was then nominated for Bapee, and Mr. Wm. Forsyth for Su ‘. Mr. F. MeNerhany presented some resofutions adopted by the Democratic meeting of the Sixth Ward in relation to the retention of Know Noth- ings in office in the Washington Navy Yard, and roposing an application to the Secretary of the Navy in regard to the matter. The resolutions were referred to a committee of seven, consisting of Messrs. A. W. Miller, Wal- ter Lenox. W. E. Spalding, W. Galt, ©. W. Dunnington and John Pettibone. On motion of Mr. Ward, a vote of thanks was tendered to the officers of the meeting. Mr. L. F. Clark moved that « committee be ap- — to prepare an address to the voters of ashingtoa, which was adopted, and Mesgrs. Walter Lenox, T. tig gee Lewis, W. F. Wallace, T. Altemus, . D. Spencer and Sam- uel Pumphrey were appointed on the committee. A committee oe to apprize the nom- inees of their nomination. Mr. Chairman Berret, before | gre the mo- tion to adjourn, returned thanks for the order and decorum maintained by the assemblage, and con- gratalated the members of the convention on the satisfacto: y manner in which they had performed their trust by the nomination of yentiemen of high character, and who, if elected, would bring to the discharge of their duties intelligence, in- tegrity, and zeal. ‘he meeting then adjourned. Taz Mecuantes’ Institute Fair.—From the able report of Charles F. Stansbury, Esq., the Superintendent of the Institute, we gather some interesting particulars in regard to the late Pair The contract for the building was awarded to Mr. Charles Walker for the sum of $3,430. Mr. Walker performed his contract to the en- tire satisfaction of the Board ; but, the building preving too small, an addition of fifty feet was made to the eastern end of it. This portion of the ‘work was performed under the direction of Mr A. Baldwin, and the cost at which it was done showed tha’ it would have been better policy for the Board to have erected the whole building by days’ work, under a faithful superintendent, than by contract. Valuable contributions were obtained for the Fair by Mr. Stamsbury from the leading manufac- turers of the North. Liberal accommodations were afforded by the various lines of transportation leading to this eity. The confectionery contract awarded to Mr.J.G Weaver was satisfactorily performed. A more simple system of classification is recommended in future by the superintendent. Great praise is awarded to the fee foree un- der Mr. Handy for efficiency ; also to other oif- cers of the Lastitute The plan adopted by Mr. Stansbury of coupon checks, Prevent imposition on the part of those depositing trifling articles for the mere purpose of obtaining depositors season tickets, was found to work well. Notwithstanding every precau- tion, however, a number of articles were deposited under the false pretence of being the workman- ship of the depositors, upon which the store marks were afterwards discovered. The number of contributions to the exhibition was greater, and their character generally superior to those at any former exhibitions of the Insti- tute. The machinery department, which was placed under the efficient care of Mr. Ashdown, ‘was peculiarly rich and interesting. In addition to — contributions, the display was en- banced in attraction by valuable deposites made by various departments of Government. Thanks are especially due to the Ordnance Bureau and to Capt. M. C. Meigs, in charge of the Capitol Ex- tension, for interesting contributions acknowledgement of the services of the press of this city and Baltimore ix made ‘The report says: “From the first announcement of the exhibi- tion to its close our course was cheered by the unanimous support of the local press, and the oc- casional fa te notice of distant rs. The Evening Star was Not peor noticeable for the liberality with which its columns were devoted to our cause; we should also remember with gratitude the course of the Union, Intelligencer, and News. as well as of the Baltimore Sun and American.** The cpeaing address by the Hon. F. P. Stanton has been published by the Institute, and cannot fail to enhance the reputation of its distinguished anthor as a profound and philosophical thinker Much indebtedness is expressed to the admirable band of Mr. Withers. ‘The judges commenced their examinations on the 10th of Mareh, the day assigned in the circu- jar of appointment, and through the energetic ef- forts of the Committee of Awards, of which Mr V. Harbaugh is chairman, the reports were all re- ceived in time to announce the result on the eve- ning of the 0th, the day named in the circular for the closing of the exhibition. The awards were generelly acquiesced in with cheerfulness by the depositors. The reports of the Financial Secretary and Treasurer show that the fair, though the Teceipts were larye, has not more than paid the expenses which were very heavy, demonstrating the im- liey of holding the exhibitions in temporary buildings or these which involve the necessity of expensive temporary fixtures. The large receipts have been consumed in paying for accom a- tions which were of no use when the exhibition Was over; in other words they have been absorb- ed by rent. The Institute, since its organization, has sunk over $10,000 in rent—a sum sufficient to have —— it with a building large enongh for a library and reading room, a feetnre hall, and ample accommodations fer the various classes woutemplated by the constitution. ‘Tue Wasnixcton Lisaary Compant’s Buit- DING, on Ith street, is to be thoroughly renovated and an additional story added. After the im- provements are completed it is to be kept open daily from 3 to 10 p. m., thus affording an oppor- tunity to those engaged in active business during the day to avail themselves of the use of the Li- brary in the evenings, either to take books out or use asareading room. None but stockhold rs are allowed to take books out, and in order to put the Library within the reach of all the stock has been reduced to $6 per share, and will be contin- wed at that price until the Ist June next. The young men of Washington will no doubt avail themselves of this opportunity. The present Board of Directors are—James F. Haliday, President; Wm. Q. Force, Secretary; reo J. Abbott. Treasurer; Z. W. Denham, J. w psou, T. C. Connolly, L. Clephane. This library was chartered by Congress in 114. and. received the attention and active efforts of Presidents Madison, Monroe and Adams; W. H Crawford, J. C. Calhoun, Baron De Neuville, and auch ent citizens as Jesse P. Brad- ley, W_D. Stone, W. W. Seaton, Jos. Gales, R. Wallach, W A. Bradley, A. Bradiey, Peter Force, Jas. Hoban, Walter Jones, R. C. eightman, J. W. Maury, Gen. A. Henderson, Nat. Towson, FP. 8. Key, J. C. Hall, J. B. Sullivan, and Judge Cranch. It has between 6.000 and 7,000 volumes, most of them standard historical, literary an miscellaneous works—very many of them are real - ly valuable, and could not be replaced at hardly any price. The library is entitled by an act of Congress to all the C. essional and public doc- uments as also the publications of the Smithsonian Justitate. Canvsi’s May Batt.—No better evidence of the growth and prosperity of Washington need be given than the fact that three May Balls, follow- ing in close succession, have each been overflow- ingly attended, and received the fullest measure swecess. mwithstanding there are three Richmonds in eld, there seems ample scope for each of the Professers without or aca the operations of the others. Carusi’s Saicon last night was densely ‘ked indeed, and it was a matter of no sinall ditieulty to navigate safely amidst the deli- ale widely-spread tlounces of the ladies. V pen the conclusion of the beautifully perform- ed children dances, the crowd thinned out somewhat. and the dancing on the part of the "pectalors was entered upon and kept up with great zest until the company separated Weber's Band performed some admirable pie- ers turing the evening, including the beautiful “ Bud Waltz” composed by Weber.

Nota sail dots its surface— nothing but dark looking masses of drift wood, which gives the rivera rather spotted, small-poxy a tance. The arrivals at the wharves have dwindled down to one solitary schooner, which came from Baltimore, freighted with lumber con- signed to John Purdy. Her name is the Cambria, Capt. Thomas. ‘apt. Gibson came up the river, this morning, from the Stoney Point fish landings. He is the Proprietor of those landings, and one of the prin- cipal proprietors of fishings on the Potomac. He states that all of the owners ate giving overt; with very serious losses in every individual case. He says that although he bas been engaged in the Potomac fisheries for many years, and experienced many very serious and disastrous seasons, this season will prove the very worst within his recol- lection. Several other proprietors confirmed these statements. At Alexandria there are no fish at all, and no arrivals up to this morning. The prices are not to be stated as there are no sales. The steamer Janes Guy has gone down from Alexandria this morning to tow up any vessels that may be de- tained the strong current which is prevailing in consequence of the late heavy rains. This morning, from the foot of Eleventh street, the Thomas Collyer weat down to Mount Vernon, with the members of the Musical Convention which is holdi it the Smithsonian Institution. They retarn this afternoon to Washington in time to réhearse for the concert which takes place to- night at the Institution. National MusicaL Association.—The busi- ness session of the Convention took place yester- day at 12 o'clock, m. After some ordinary busi- ness, which game up in the course of the session, Mr. FP. A. Tucker made a few remarks in relation totheassociation. Hesaid that it was first staried under the auspices of the Union Choir Associa- tion, and, until the last annual convention, had been connected with that association. At that convention the association had been formed dis- tinct from the Union Choir Association. It was considered able to take care of itself, and the suc- cess of the present convention was good evidence of that fact. Mr. T. proposed that at the next convention the association invite the altendence of any four professors of music whom the convention might agree upon to preside over the convention. Carried. The Convention then went into the election of officers for the ensuing Pat which resulted as follows: President—Dr. P.D. Gurley; Vice Pres- idents—Messrs. P. J. H. Newman, Va., Wm, G. Howard, Ga., G. E. B. Loomis, N. Y., and S. G- Howe. N. ¥; Penenres Glenroy; Treas- urer—T. J. Magruder. Adjourned. The afternoon session was taken up by the Con- vention in practice for the concert. Tus Arnexzum.—Last night, the question, ** Does the cause of Walker and his followers in Nicaragua deserve the sympathy of the American people !’* was up for discussion before this Asso- ciation, and considerable ability was displayed by gentlemen who ed in the controversy. Walker ay rs to have but i spenes among the intelligent entlemen of whic’ the Atheneum Cpaprtcces it they defended their positions with as much or more ability than the General does his. Last night Major Jno. P. Heiss was elected to honorary membership by the Atheneum. Incenptary AtremptT.—On Wednesday night, an attempt was made to burn aasmall frame build- ing, belonging to Wm. Wise, on Four-and-a-half Street, between Maryland and Virginia avenues, occupied by Mr. O’Brien, a shoemaker. The tire was discovered and extinguished before much harm was done. A person was suspected, but the evidence was not sufficient to justify an arrest. Prices or Woop axp Coat.—There are but few arrivals of wood and coal for our Washing- ton dealers at the present time.
