LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. “Our National MetRoro.is anv its Pusiic Beitptnes.""—Under this caption the Albany Ar- gus has a letter from ‘A Transient Visitor” to Washington city, who says: ‘My views of the City of Washington have somewhat c! within a few . | have deen ace to believe that the seale of « magnificent distances” according to which it was laid ont od its projecters, was a mistake, and that the filling up of the grand outline would never be realized—that =o lee eer of commerce, and relying only w; those result from the lovation here of the seat of the National overnment, a great and im; mt city could eT spring into existence. it the recent indi- «ations are very decided, that if the bonds of our Union remain unbroken, and the seat of govern- ment is not chanzed. the views of ‘Washington in relation to the Capitol of the nation, as well as other points in the acter of the country of which eters: -bpapsl will tarn out to have been rendered with a sagacity well nigh hetic. Not that Washington will bea greet berets the sense in which New York, or other commercial cities, receive that appellation. Jt has no com- merce, and from its location never can have, ex- cept such as is connected with the local wants of its population. It is not a town where a depot of commerce in its true sense—a where uctions of the world the exchanges of the are made—can ever established. But it will be the great itieal, fashionable and social met lis of the nation—the stage upon which wealth, ambition. beauty, pretension, as well as more simple and meritorious qualities, not only from every State in the Union. but also from almost evety nation of the earth, will — for exhibition. Men of means, engaged in the service of the Government or in Congress, will have handsome residences here. Others inclined to mingle in ities, or ambitious of moving in scenes of fashion, will do the same. The great ¥ vy of society which will exist here will © attractive to multitudes, not only of fash- nables, but also of intelligent and refined people. The gear Sap er character of the population which will be gathered here, will render thiscity on the whole the most attractive of any in the na- tion; and wealth and fashion will make their egira hither, expecially to spend the winter months while Cougress {s in session. All these in nees will combine to fill up the outline which its founders marked out for this metropo- lis, and in a few years it will be a city of magnifi- cent residences, aud attractive in all that relates to society and social life.”* ‘The writer concludes an elaborate notice of the Government improvements by saying : + ~The structures which I have noticed will by ne meansend the duties or expenses of the Gov- ernment as to public buildings. ‘The State, Na- vy and War partments are old and insignifi- cant buildings and must soon be teplaced. The Attorney General has to occupy rented rooms. Some other public officers are in the same condi- tion, and it is easy to foresee that for many years the Y seas system of expenditure for public buildings in this metropolis is likely to continue Certainly I do not complain, and do not believe that the country is dix to complain, of the erection of such edifices as the public service re- quires, and in a style of permanenceand e: gance worthy of the nation, and especially with such safeguards against fire as will protect the records of the nation against the hazard of destruction.** Caiminat Covrt—Judge Crawford.—in the case of Mary Wells, charged with larceny to the value of $7.25, the jury yesterday rendered a ver- dict of guilty, and she was sentenced to nine Ynonts imprisonment in the county jail, and fined one dollar and costs. The next case taken up was that of Jas. Thom- as. colored, who was brought up to explain, if possible, bis right to a new hat which he was caught appropriating to his own use from the furnishing store of Mr. Hopkins. Charles could not prove any claim to the bat and so he was sen- tenced to one year’s imprisonment, and to paya Sue of one dollar. Charles Simms came up next to answer acharge of riot and assault on Mr. McDonald and ofticer King in the Centre Market. His Honor sent him over to the county jail for two months for the as- sault on Mr. McDonald, and a period of three mouths for resistance to the officer. The Court then adjourned. The Grand Jury were yesterday discharged until Monday, at their own request, the witnesses in attendance having all been disposed of. This morning, Thomas Fletcher, (colored.) was brought up to answer the charge of assault with attempt to commit a rape on Ellen Bruce, (colored.) on the llth day of Apyil last. In the absence of 4 Witness, this case was postponed for @ short time, and in the interim the case of John MecLauklin, for the larceny of an iron kettle and tin coffee boiler from the store of Jas. Skirving, on the third day of June, 1457, wastakenup. The case was pending when this report closed.

The beautiful Encanstic tiles are nearly laid in all the principal corridors.

In the machine shop the workmen are employ- ed upon iron work, mainly for the Capitol and General Post Office. with some occasional jobs for the Water Works The great marble lathe is yet employed upon the columns for the Post Office extension In the Statuary department the workmen are engaged in copying a fresh design of Crawford's lately received fi Rome, representing an In- dian boy returning, accompanied by Bis doz, from a visit to his traps, and bearing, suspended from a stick upon his shoulder, his spoils In the shape of a rabbit and fowl. ‘Tur Rivex.—The repairs on the Long Bridge are going forward with dispatch.

In both these objects the Society has the best wishes of all classes of citizens, musical or otherwise.

The contractors have been pushing things— Paying extra wages to the hands, that the street at this much-used point might be put in # passable condition as soon as possible. {t is certainly a splendid specimen of paving, and gives general satisfaction. — Rervrxep.—The Rev.

Quiet prevailed on Tharsday. The contest will hencefo:th be car- tied on by the lawyers, and from all appearances they will have a busy time. A score or two of warrants for the arrest of the policemen engaged in Tuesday’s fight have been issued, and it is ua- derstood that Governor King bas concluded to direct the holding of a special term ef the Con:t of Oyer and Terminer early in July for the triay of the cases. Mayor Wood is cited to answer for contempt ; there are also quite a number of plots and counterplots on foot, all tending to promote litigation in some shape or other. The Board of Aldermen, on Thursday evening, resolved to de- fend the Mayor in the suits brought against him, and moreover decided to remain in permanent session until the excitement is over. The special Officers sworn in by the Metropolitan Commis- sioners have been disbanded, and it is understood that no farther attempt will be made by the Board to serve upon the Mayor. ——— Dx.

In referring to the receipts of Teas in this country for one year up to Sith ultimo, it says they will be 12,- 0,000 pounds short of the imports of the year eud- ing June 30, 1856, and that “The advance in black teas. Oolongs, since last December, has been fifteen cents per pound: and Young Hysou Teas, of low and medinin grades, have experienced an advance of one hundred per cent. over Inst season’s closing prices. It will thus be seen that the strong and rapid advance in the tea murket has been the result of « short supply and actave demand ; but when itis con- sidered that we inay hear at any moment of the en- fire suspension of shipments at Shanghai, and. in fact, that, as soon asa sufficient force from England Arrives at the seat of war, all five ports of entry in China, will Probatay be placed under striet blockade, it would not be surprising to see Teas ata much higher figure than they have yet attained.” Tn view of these facts, we hold out very great in- ducements for families’ to Iny in their supplies of Tea now.
