LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Meetine OF THE Memutrs oF THE PaRisn oF Sr. Patrick —A meeting of the members of St. Patrick's charch was held yesterday afternoon, at to’clock, to make liminary arrangements for the erection of a church on the site of the present one. Mr. Richard Clark called the meeting to order, and stated that, as it was of a business character, it was thought that a lay member should oceupy the Chair. He nominated Mr. Francis Mohun for that office essts. Hugh B. Sweeny and Wm.H. Ward were inted Secretaries. The Rev. Mr. O°Toole stated, briefly, the ob- ject of the meeting. which was to take the pre- liminary steps towards the erection of the new bh building. It had been talked of a long even before it had been his good fortune to be among them as a pastor, it had n the desire of the parish to ereet the church. They were now assembled eaether to take the preliminary steps to thisend. He looked to this meeting as ine ning the good work, by the grace of God; and he hoped that each and every man present would from this time devote his energies to its accom- plishment. He said that he had received the en- couragement of the Bishop of this diocese to go om. = as Lents tacos sufficient amount mal seri to keep the wor! ing one working sea- son without coming to a fag Se He stated that plans had been made by Mr. Long, of Baltimore, and it was necessary todeter- mine whether they would adopt them or not. Farther postponement of the work was entirely unnecessary. The first step was to provide “the sinews of war,”’ and as soon as the amount neces- sary to begin the work with had been subscribed a commencement would be made. He desired the members to make up their minds from that hour as to the amount they would give, and the recise time when they would contribute. It had been the cherished object of the late lamented Father Mathews to see a beautiful church erected on the site of St. Patrick’s, and he believed that the idea of a grand and imposing edifice would be realized by adopting the plan of Mr. Long. It had been estimated that five years would elapse before the building would be completed, and be thought that it could be done in that time with proper perseverance on the part of those in- terested in it. Mr. Richard Clarke spoke of the benefits which the ple of the metropolis would derive from the ilding of this structure. He thought that this was an auspicious time to commence the work, and moved that a committee of five per- sons be appointed to draw up resolutions expres- sive of the sense of the meeting in relation to the new edifice; carried. ae Messrs. Rich'd H. Clarke, ms, G. Savage, G. Ennis, and Jno. F. Coyle, to serve on that committee. The committee withdrew for the purpose of de- libesation, and after being absent a short time re- turned, and Mr. Clark. from the committee. re- perted the following preambie and resolutions : Whereas, our venerated ior, the very Rever- end St. William Matthews. has left to the parish a large and beautiful site for a church, and every Ys experience more clearly proves the necessity increased church accommodations for this pop- ulous and ever growing congregation ; and where- as, further, we have the cordial approbation of our most Reverend Archbishop, and {t should he honest pride to erect a charch that will be becoming the Perpetual historic grandeur of our holy faith. its steady dignified progress in this free country, and while ut the same time it will be in keeping with the well sustained efforts of = whole country to adorn our Federal Metropo- is, be it Resolred, That the present isa propitious time to begin our efforts for the new church, and we freely. one and all, collectively and individually, pledge ourselves to aid the undertaking to the vest of our power, by our money and by in- fluence, contributing ourselves and solicit and encouraging all to contribute. 2. That in thecireamstances alluded to in which we now stand, it ix necessary and expedient to prepare for the erecting of a large and beautiful Gothie charch: that the design already submitted gives general satisfaction, both as fo size and style, and that Lewis L. Long, Esq_., the architect, is hereby requested to present, with the least pos- sible delay, an accurate estimate of the cost of | erection, in order to enable us to determine finally in relation to the design 3. That, in the meantime. it is necessary to be- gin at once this indispensable work of pioviding funds, and for that pw + having entire confi- dence in the zeal and energy of our pastors, under the guidance of our most Rev. Archbishop. we respectfully invite the Reverend Pastors of the Parish, to open, this very day, a subscription list, and a committee of seven gentlemen be ap- pointed to aid them in collecting in the Parish and City of Washington. 4. That a permanent committee of three be ap- pointed, whose business it shall be to receive all th neys collected. deposit them in bank, and publish a quarterly statement of receipts and ex- peuditures 5. And that these resolutions be published in | all the city papers, and the Baltimore Catholic Mirror. The resolutions were unanimously approved and adopted Mc. Ward moved that the pastors of St. Pat- tick’s Church be instructed to appoint the several committees which were called for by the resolu- tions. So ordered. The Secretary drew up a subscription paper. and those present crowded around with eage: ness to contribute for the good work. The fo! lowing amounts were subscribed : James Caden, $1,000; Gregory Ennis, 500 for five years, $100 annually; W. E. Stubbs. 500 do.; Wai. H. Waid, 500 do.; H. B. Sweeny, 500 do.; Geo.

A Mesicat Frat, Inpeep.—We hear that a very atttartive entertainment is now in rehearsal at the Academy of Music; Rossini’s Stabat Ma- ter and Handel's Sth Oratorio, whieh are to be | inset «tin the lecture room of the Smithsonian stitution, on the Ith of May, by over two hun- dred performers. embracing Mr. Crouch, conduc- tor, Mr Caulfield, pianist, Mrs. Young, Miss DeBoye, Miss Melcher, Miss French, Mr. Fglott- stein, and all the members of St. Matthew's choir, assisted by the German Singers’ Club, and and orchestra of forty muxicians. “To dwell upon the beauties of the music selected, and the merits of the performers, would be supertiuous. All our readers, whe can SS do so, will doubt- less yo and judge for themselves. e Tur xew Carnonic Cuvrew.—The plans of Mr. Lewis L. Long for the proposed new Church to be erected on the site of St. Patrick’s, corner of loth and F streets, are spread out at the rooms adjoining the Charch. The new edifice will oc- | cupy @ space of ground comprising 33,560 square feet. The clear length of the nave being 21] feet, and 3 feet wide, and the extent of the tra: V4 feet, and = feet wide. The height of t ceiting of the main body of the Church is 85 feet. ‘The roef of the dome will extend much higher. Phe extreme altitude of the front elevation 1s 312 feet. The building will seat, when completed, ©.000 persons. The style of architecture is of pure Gothic. Horse StzaLinc.—Yesterday, a man named Crandell Hawley was arrested by Police Officer Watson for stealing « horse belonzing to Mr. W, Stone. Hawley was taken before Justice Goc d- dard, and was ie him committed to jail for trial St Court. ‘The horse was valued at |, and was found in the stable where the prisoner was taken. alt; also schooner Kausax, Laws. from | | Tax Prorosep Suir Caxat ox James's CreEx.—Sothe days ago we noticed the extension of the present Arsenal grounds in this Sity, and for which Comerers ot ite eat sve. anal lati the grounds extends from ete Fopeat"Atecsal wall to P street south, and from the 1 Japers creek. provements something was said about @ pro- — soe § canal up James’s creek: In reply several communications en the subject of this canal, its course and size, we eke the Proposal of Major Bell in relation to this improve- ment Is to follow the line of James's creek, which Tuns in a very nearly direct line to where it inter- sects the city canal at the junction of F street south and Virginiaavenue. He proposes to make this — at least twenty feet deep and sixty feet in width. This arrangement would, if carried out, restore the city canal to its original direction as laid down on the old city maps. An a riation was made by Congress last winter fora flood gate to be put down at the mouth of this creek. This was done with a view to draini: the creek, and if possible to prevent the decay of vegetable matter, which gives rise to that poison- ous miasma so productive of chills and fever all along the marsh, and extending even the Capitol to the neighborhood of English Hill, and as far as the residence of J las. The draining of this creek will Produce a change in some degree beneficial to that district, but much more so would the pga canal. In the first case the effect would be Cree Hl enkhane in the last it would be complete. Every tide would catry off down the river channel the putrid outpourings of the city sewers, which now to a great extent re- main, and poison the air, whic! perhaps one- half of the citizens of Washington is compelled to breathe daily ye the warm season. The proposed flood-gate at the mouth of the creek will be so arranged as to at the ebb tide and close at its flood. The river water will thus be prevented from passing up into the creek, and every ebb will carry out into the river all that has accumulated behind the dam. That these improvements will have most bene- ficial results is shown by the already increased activity in real estate transactions and building operations in the Seventh Ward. mac river Jn connection with the above Wasuincton Cemeterizs.—The following list of burial places in and about the city was furnished by a gentleman whose position affords him an opportunity of knowing their locations and owners. Several of them are seldom used and little known : The East Methodist, oc Ebenezer burial round, is situated in the Sixth Ward, o ‘ite the Con- gressional Cemetery. It is the property of Ebe- nezer Station. The West Methodist, or Foundry burial ground, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth stree! west, near W street, belongs to Foundry Station. German Lutheran, between urth and Fifth streets east, and G and H north, to the German Lutheran Society. German Catholic, between north Capitol and First streets east, and O and P north, to the Ger- man Catholic church on Fifth street. Congressional burial ground, near the Navy Yard, to Christ church, Sixth Ward. Glenwood Cemetery, beyond the boundary on north Capitol street, belongs to a com y- St. Peter's, between Fourth and Fifth streets east, and H and I north, to St. Peter's (Catholic) church. St. Patrick’s, between First and Second streets west, beyond north Boundary street, to St. Pat- rick’s (Catholic) church. St. Mathew’s, between Thirteenth and Four- teenth streets west, and U and V north, to St Mathew’s (Catholic) chureh. Eastern Cemetery, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets east, and H and | north, to the Corporation. Western, or Holmead’s burial grtend. byes Nineteenth and Twentiethstreets west, Sand T north, to the Corporation. The old Methodist, between Twelfth and Thir- teenth streets east, and J and Boundary. Marine burial ground, east of Congressional Cemetery, near the Navy Yard; Government. Washington sam or Potter’s Field, in the uare ; Corporation.

Free Young Men’s, between Twelfth and Phir. teenth streets west, and V and W ; colored com- ny. martal ground for colored persons, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets east, and C and D south. Various societies own lots in burial grounds in the adjoining counties, but have no burial grounds in their own names. Mar oF Wasuinctox.—Really one of the most valuable articles that bas lately met our eye is a specimen number of a map of this city, by Mr. Boschke of the Coast Survey, and for which Mr. Bobn, the well known bookseller at the Capitol, is getting subscriptions. Nothing like this map has yet been got up of this city as regards beauty of execution, and a minute accuracy of detail of every particular of streets. lanes, water courses, elevations, depres- sions, land marks, boundaries, &c Think of the value to the property holder of a map which shows in addition to the public build- ings, the location of every dwelling house, out- building and improved lot in the city of Wash- gton, and moreover of the suburbs for some distance out! The river surroundings are also laid down, and in fact the seems to be a complete Treotype of the city and its sur- roundings. It is moreover sold ata price which laces it within the reach ofall. The amount of labor requisite to get up such a map is almost frightful to think of, and how itcan be made to pay Gy sepa at the price for which it is sold is more than we can guess. However, Mr. Bohn undertakes to do it, soit is his own lookout, and if he ruins himself by selling his maps lower than he can afford he must not blame us or the purchasers. Fveitive Staves.— Within the Past week, quite a number of fugitive slaves have been ar- rested by the auxiliary guard and police officers ; and it is quite certain that there are agents of the underground railroad at work in the adjoining counties of Matyland and Virginia. Of the first lot, six in number, three were arrested by Watch- man Horner, and the other three by Horner, as- sisted by Officer Wollard. They belong toa Mr. Geary, of Anne Arundel county, Md. The next | lot. of three, belonging to Mr. Sullivan, of Vir- ginia, were taken by Police Officer Williamson, Watchmen Gill and Sessford. Watchmen Horner and Klopfer arrested another slave, Legros ewe to Mrs. Bell, of Marylhnd. Three others, belong ng to C. B. Calvert, of Prince George county, Md, were arrested by Watchmen Donnelly and Dove. These were provided with ehanges of clothing, and were armed with pistols and knives for re- sistance; but the watchmen, by the rapidity of their descent upon the fugitives, prevented their using the weapons. ‘TRANsFER of VoTERs.—We give the follow ing extract from the ‘Act to provide for the Tegis- tration of all persons in the city of Washington subject to the school tax, and for other Purpones,”*? as of interest to many of our readers at this time : “Sec.6. And be it further enacted, That no part of this act shall be so construed as to prohibit the Register from transfering the name of an (ee on the list of any Ward, or precinct of a vard, from that to sneter Ward ; he making an entry on the list to what Ward, or precinct of the Ward, said person may be so ti 3 and it is hereby made his duty to make the sald transfer, and w refusal to do so he shall be liable toa fine of not less than twenty nor more than fifty dollars ; provided it shall be done five days prior to the day of election.”’ Tuz Moncmext to Stuart Hottanp.—We have received a communication signed “A B. ©.” inquiring ‘*what has become of the subscrip- tion list for the pur of erecting a monument to the memory of the lamented Stuart Holland? It will be remembered that he sank with the wreck of the Arctic, enveloped in the smoke of the last minute gun.’? Our correspondent adds : *\L never saw Stuart Holland, nor have I the honor of an acquaintance with any member of his bereaved family; but his noble conduct in that fatal honr is still fresh, and. as a testimonial of my sympathy with bis afflicted friends and rela- tives: imiration of his gallant conduct in striving to the last moment to save the ill-fated ship, I desire to add my mite to this praiseworthy object. ImpRovEMENTS.—Two of our enterprising me- chanies, Mr. J. Skirving, stove dealer and manu- facturer, corner of 11th street and Pennsylvania avenue, and Mr. J. W.

There will be ample accommodations, it is stated, for all who may wish to participate in this patri- otic commemoration. Mr. Henry Myers, of Rich- , is now on the nd making every prepa- ration in his power for the entertainment of the * pilgrims.’ *” Monsieur Toxson come acatx !—It will be seen by the advertisement in another column of this day’s issue that the adjourned meeting of the Board of Managers of the Washington Monu- ment Society takes place to-morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, and there will no doubt be a full atten- dance of the meinbers, inasmuch as by motion of Mr. Magruder, at the last meeting, the Secretary was directed to serve every member with a writ- ten notice of the meeting, and there is every rea-~ son to believe that that functionary has fulfilled his instruetions to the letter, Dotnes at tnk Lockx-vrs.—Fastern Lock-up— James Louge, drunk and disorderly ; workhouse 30days.

About the time when the congregation was assemblii at ae Church one of the boys shot a ball into aframe building where a number of children were playing, fortunately without injuring any of them. Mvp, Fintw anv StagNast Water.—The condition of the southeast corner of Market Space requires the attention of those whose duty it is to remove such unhealthy accumulations. The old ring used by Dan Rice’s Circus Company has never heen removed, and is now filled with stag- nant water, and all around it piles of filth of va- tious descriptions are deposited by persons clean- ing their cellars and wood- houses. Deatn at THE PeniteNTiARY.—Yesterday morning, the Warden of the penitentiary found one of the convicts named Brown, dead in his eell.
