We do not know whether there was any previous quarrel between the two drivers or not, but we take the statement from an eye witness of the transaction. It seemis that the driver of the Vanderwerken bus was hailed when opposite the bank of Messrs. Riggs & Co., by a gentleman who came out of the bank. The driver of the other line was im- mediately behind the Vanderwerken coach and endeavored to drive between it and the curbstone. He sneceeded so far to put the gentleman to the inconvenience of walking around so as to reach the Vanderwerken coach. He got in, and the driver (Muller) started off. The other coachman, whose name is Massey, immediately drove w beside and locked bis wheels with those of Mui- ier’scoach, and he being unable to extricate him- self, drove along some distance, nearly Opposite the President’s house, when Massey forced him up against the curb, and struck his coach against a tree-box, breaking down the tree, which is a small one, and smashing Mutler’s coach, throw- ing Muller off against a tree with great violence. Muller, who fs a stout man, got up supposing that Le was not much hurt, but he shortly afterwards e ng napa a severe hemorrhage, which is likely to lead to a fatal result. Resistive an Ovricex.—On Tuesday even- ing, about 7 o'clock, as the Capitol Police were about to close the varions passages through the “opitoi, an Irishman named Shane, in a very en state, entered the Capitol gate, and, be- ning troublesome, was requested by the watch- man. Mr. James Coleman, to go out, which he re- Tused tedo. Coleman followed bim up to the sasement of the Capitol, where he attempted to arrest and place him in the guard-house. This ne found to be a difficult matter, Shane being a sarge man and very much averse to such treat- Tas New Asrtux.—The Joint Committee met at 12 0’clock to-day, at the office of J. L. Smith, Esq., to open the bids. Messrs. Smith, Moore, Houston, = pa Boblayer and Lloyd, were pres- ent, as well as Mr. maloriy = — Haskias, the architect, and a T. Moore doubted the authority of the com- mittee to act further, hol that it died withthe sine die ad. ofthe incils. ¥ this a discussion ensued in which all Participated. Mr. Moore offered three resolutions expressive of his views, and proposing to decline further action and recommend the new Councils to take the matter in hand and have the building speedily erected ; they were rejected. oe oore then entered a protest azainst the action.

Usttep States Porice Rerorts.—Be/fore Justice Donn.—Two men named Edward Scan- ton and Thomas Conner, were arrested yesterday by Officer Parham, under the charge of having mitted an assault and battery on the father of and the brother-in-law of the other, named. Michael Seanton. During the investigation the facts appeared that a difficulty had arisen between the prosecutor and his wife, she having, without his consent, removed $50 of his deposits from his pocket to her own. He, in retaliation, undertook to sell one of the cows, the princi means of support for the family, to prevent which his son and brother-in-law were compeiled to take hold of him; bapecne. rie 4 the complaint and ariest. All parties were held to keep the peace. They subsequently agreed to divide the cash and sepa- Tate. Cirevit Court.—The Habeas Corpus Cas+.— This morning, Mr. Key, the District Attoraey, informed the Court that the evidence on file in the State Department was not sufficient to justify the charges brought against J.S. Jenkins by Van Camp ; that the warrant for his arrest had been made out by a justice of the peace without con- sultation with the officers of the United States. He gave notice that he should not appear for the United States in the case. The case of Edward Lockett, James G. Berret, and Henry D. Johnson vs. the Hon. W.L. Mar- cy and John Pemberton for the Merchants’ Insur- ance Company, was taken up. This is one of the interminable Texan bond cases. Bradley and Hays for complainant, and Robert J. Brent for defence.

Coleman succeeded. however, in getting tnm as far as the guard-room, when shane haul- ed off and yave Coleman a vigorous crack in the eye, whieh, for a moment, stunned him; he soon vered and struck Shane over the head with stick, which flew out of his hands. A strug- zie now ensued for the cane, but Coleman being ‘he quickest, recovered it, when Shane took to 4is heels, and shot through the Capitol and out of the grounds in double quick time. Yesterday snorning Shane brought an action against Cole- soau for an assault, and the case came up before Justice Thompson, last evening, when Shane Gading that several credible witnesses who had seen it all were ready to swear that be conmmitted the assault, withdrew his charges and paid the costs of the trial. Coleman intends to bring a similar action against Shane to-day River MatTeRs.—Business about the wharves ts very dull. No arrivals of any kind. ‘The Gorsuch Chapel excursionists arrived from their pleasure trip yesterday evening at So’clock, just in time to get safely housed at home before the rain. The **Wasbington’’ goes down to the White House to-day. to convey the members of the American Hock and Ladder Company, who are fo have a grand time of it there, judging by the extensive preparations going, on at the wharf hey are aecompanied by Withers’ cotillon band. * B.

Bird & Milburn are selling their entire stock of packed shad at $13 per bbl. The last arrival of fishermen from the lower jandings was last nizht—the gang of Capt. Gib- von, Who came up the river in fine spirit, singing songs and making merry. and their pockets lined with something substantial, the reward of their spring labors. A Senxsiste Conciesion.—The New Yok Tribune of yesterday says: “Those correspondents who have written us letters countenancing the surmise that the late *.ckgess at or emanating from the National Hotel, Washington City. was the result of an attempt to poison President Buchanan, and connecting there- with the sudden, ae of Presidents Harrison and Taylor, and the suspicions that they were foully dealt with. are informed that we de- Hine to give any weight or currency to those ru- tors. After hearing and reading very fully on the subject, we are firmly convinced that the late “ickness originated in the fmperfect sewerage and ventilation of the National Hotel, whereby vol- umes of pestilential gaxes, which should have passed away through sewers or flues, were dis- «targed into the basement of the house, render- ing it an inevitable generator of plague. This is ~o obvious 2 deduction from established facts, that we see no probability iu the more horrible Lypothesix.*? ScemMek ResiDENCE FoR THE PREsIpEeNT.— We learn that the President of the United States Las reeeived and accepted the invitation of the Board of Directors of the Military Asylum, or Seldiers’ Home, to reside in that vicinity during the summer and autumnal months, and to occu the house vacated by Surgeon King, of the army, in view of that event The Soldiers’ Home is about four miles from Washington, and is approached by a yood road The tenement is in a healthy and beautifal situa- tion, surrounded by natural objects which en- hauee the value of a rural residence. A quiet re- teat after the business of the day cannot but prove grateful to the distinguished statesman. But this is of less importance than the avoidance of ebills and fever, to which, of late years, the uxtant occupants of the Executive Mansion have been exposed, and from which Ex-President Peree and other persons of his household were rers.—Union AN ARRIvaL —It is worthy of notice that the dest vessel load of coal that has arrived in the mouth of the canal for the last twelve years, came ip the other day to the Fourteenth street bridge Mr. Worthington, coal merchant.

Grorcetown, May 2, 1857. Baware ov THIEVES iN THE DAY TIME !—For some days past a gang of scoundrels have been prowling around Washington and thieving most successfully. A day or two since they called at the house of Mr. G. Ennis, and obtaiued the privilege of 1ang- ing the rooms under the pretence of having been sent there by Mr. E..’s o:der to repair the tin work on the roof. On leaving they carried off sundry valuable articles ol clothing. Yesterday, they got into the resiedence of Mr. Granville 5. Oldfied, by watching the departure for dinner of mechanics at work on its roof, and Rose to be connected with their operations hey soon left, however, carrying off vartous val - uable silk dresses. Look out all, and especially the police Tus Flovrisuine German Sckoor (Mr. Joln Mattern, teacher,) on Eleventh street, had a fine turnout on Tuesday, parading to the music of Weber's band. They marched to the residence of Mr. George Beckert, near the Na’ Yard, where they spent some delightful hours in danc. ing, giving declamations, &e. It was one of the largest [Sari of our German friends ever Known in this city. Tug Commissioner of THR Fount Warp will do a good thing by having thore post holes filled up on the site of the Mechanics’ Institute Fair building. A valuable horsé came near being ruined yesterday by stepping into one of these traps. We are happy to say that the cast fron water wheel has been got rid of from this point; also the irencorn grinder. Now for the post holes. A Danczrovs Trap.—As dangerous a man-trap as we care to see is that on New York avenue, be- tween First and North Capitol streets, where a cutting some IS feet deep yawns at not more than ten or twelve feet from the roadway, and without fence or lights to give warning of the dangerous locality. On Saturday he a gentleman only escaped breaking his neck here by the merest ac- cident. The place should be looked after in- stanter. Seveyta Warp Voters.—In a statement which appeared some time ago in the papers, of the number of voters in the various precincts of the several wards, it has been ascertained, there was a mistake of 58 votes in the second precinct of the Seventh Ward, which swells the whole number of votes on the list to 8,568, instead of 8,510, as stated. New Hose Reet or tue Corumaia Fire Co. The Columbia boys, who are apt to keep a sharp look out for any useful improvement in their line, have just got a new patent hose reel from the manufactory of Jon Rogers, of Baltimore. It is a beautiful and substantial affair, and costs the company $180. The Columbia suction has just been repaired and put in prime order also. Suspicious Vesser.—A barque, with the name “*Mary Cobb, New York,’’ painted on her stern. has been anchored at Gardiner’s Island, near Piney Point, mouth of the Potomac, for more than aweek. As far as known she has had no commu- nication with either shore. Sounds of heavy ham- mering are daily beard on boaid. There is some suspicion of her being engaged in an illegal busi- Ress. Larceny.—This morning, James Thomas, a colored man, was arrested by Officer Ward for stealing a hat from the store of W. M.S. Hop- kins. He was taken before Justice Goddard, and committed to jail. Thomas has been to the peni- tentiary before, and takes his arrest easy. He remarked to the Captain that he came to see him often.
