LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tux Amexicas Hoox anv Lapper Comrayt bad everything their own way yesterday, on their down-river excursion. The air was positively delicious after the rains, and the river scenery, through the start given to vegetation by these same rains, Was never more bewitching. The large com- pany was thus predis) d to be Leger With- ers’s band was there to keep up the spirit of the eccasion; and President Thompson was about, indefatigably bent upon filling up any possible gup in the enjoyments of the day. So the excur- sion was just naturally bound to prosper, and pros- peritdid. At the White House there was p. ty of dancing, an entertainment to which a g many of the young folks ‘+ did most seriously in- cline; while the non-dancers enjoyed them- selves with quite as much Zest swingi and singing in the grove, hunting shells on the ch or wild flowers in the forest, and a large sprinkli of the excursionists, seated on logs, were edited spectators of the seine-hauling operations of our fiend Burke, especially about six o'clock in the afternoon. when an unexpectedly large haul (for the season) brought some six or seven hundred shad to shore. with herrings and miscellaneous fish to match. Then pd Sue went to the dining-room and took of some cooked shad served up by Se! After which more dancing until the shrill boat-whistle announced that it Was time to return, at Which, of course, there was general surprise, nobody having supposed it wes so late gested bo courting couples ;) and then bome and to the day. We commend the excursions of the -: American”’ to all recreation seekers. Attempt to Ros.—Last night, Robert Mor- row's exebange office, on Peunsyivania avenue, | between Sixth and Seventh streets. was entered by thieves, who endeavored to break into the iron safe. They managed to cut a heavy lock from the outside of the safe. but failed to undo the inner lock. ‘The desk was ransacked, but nothing was taken. The systematic manner in which they soceeded indicates 2 thorough knowledge of the business. A fine, new silk handkerchief was left banging before the window, where it had been placed to prevent the light from being seen in the street; the filings of the lock, a small bottle con- taining sweet oil, and a quantity of singular-look- ing earthy substance, were found on the floor. ‘The robbers were evidently after money only, for in the desk were a money scale and a valuable revolver, which they left untouched. Had they succeeded in getting into the safe, they would have got nothing but a few pennies, as Mr. Mor- overed, has never left money at his office. The night before. the cellar of the house, occu- ied by a fruit dealer, was entered, and probably it was intended then to work into the office. All they obtained from the fruit cellar were a few oranges Navy Yarp Matrexs.—An oder has been lately issued by the President for an addition to | the marine force at various stations of 240 privates | and officers. Rendezvous have been opened by | the order of the Secretary of the Navy New York, Philadelphia, end at Alexandria; Va., be- sides at the regular marine stations, for the pur- pose of receivingenlistments.

Each of the new steamers built under the late Government are to Ssergeants, musicia and 50 privates, in additic usual force. This incieases the entire active ma- tine force to1,200 men.

A Max Ovenzoarp!’"—Such ws ling ery on board the Thomas Coll the start- , about one e’clock this morning, as that steamer was off the | Navy Yard, after leaving a party of excursionists at Blagden’s whart. After some minutes’ lusty | shouting on the part of the passengers, the s of the steamer was checked, but no boat was low- j ered ; and after a few moments’ waiting the Coll- yer proceeded on her way. Luckily, being a, swimmer, he was enabled to reach the shore un- | ussisted. and a gentleman named Lawrence | hel him to the street and accompanied him | on his way home. His name we did not learn. He was asleep, it seems. on the hurricane deck, and fell from thence to the water, striking the vail of the lower deck in failing.

This gives a total of 10 tons per week. Each ton of eoal produces about 20,000 cubic feet of gas, which, in one day’s manufac- ture, amounts to 600,000 cubic feet. The amount per, week is according to this, 4,200,000 cuble feet, which is consumed as fast as made. The number of men em for the com is 38, and they receive fra aryh S175 peal for their labor. ‘Tbe cost in material and manufac- ture per week amounts to at least $1,900, and is ee more than that; perhaps $2,000 to $2,500 per wee! The company receive nearly all the coal used by them in the manufacture of from Port Waithail, Virginia. This is considered the best coal for the pur) of making gas. The English bituminous coal which is partly used by the com- pany, is preferred to the native eoal. ne poem of English coal will produce five cubic gas, while the same amount of Port Walthall! material will produce only three and a half enbic feet. The quality of the gas from the former is also considered superior to that obtained from the native coal. River News.—Several vessels have arrived with lumber for the mills on the canal. This morning arrived schooner Active, with a large consignment of Port Deposit lumber for Mr. | Coyle. he election at Alexandria passed off without , to dream of the delights of | any disturbance. ‘The receipts of fish at Alexandria, yesterday, were 1,600 s| and 25,000 herring, chiefly fiom the gillers. They were taken by the country Wagoners at prices for shad from $10 to #13, and 89 for herring. The White House Point landings yielded yes- terday some 1.200 shad. ‘The small nets only were used, and the hanle were made over the same ground each time. The quality of the fish caught is growing poor, and the last haul for the season Was made at the White House landing last night. The steamer Collyer to-day, in addition to her regular Mount Vernon trip, fs chartered by Prof. Benj.

SSeS Se detest oy GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS. Correspondence of The Star. GzorGETowN, May 30, 1857. We are inclined tothink that there is some mts- take in regard to the Star of yesterday. We know of but one vessel which comes into and bailing from New ‘brings stone some ten days since, at the wharf of Messrs. Sils- bee & Ridyley. This brig, we should think, is totally unfit for any such purpose as that hinted at in the before-mentioned paragraph, as she is said to bea very sluggish and slow sailer under the mest favorable circumstances. It was said by some of the captains about our wharves yes- terday afternoon that they had been informed that she was to be fitted up to take a cargo of stock cattle or horses to Cuba. If this be the fact, and if she is the same vessel alluded to in the Star, the heavy hammering on board can easily be ac- counted for A few days more. and we suppose the dull mo- notony which has brooded over us for some time, will be broken off for a while. We are daily tion of the Mayor order- ing an election to fill th Brook B. Williams, Exq. We have also heard it hinted that a question connected with the Metro- politan Railroad, viz: whether or not th- tation shall meet the two per cent. upon her sub- scription to the stock. now called for by the pres- ident and directors, will be submitted to the pro ple.
