LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CarmtnaL Court.—When our report closed on Saturday the Court was engaged in the second trial of Joseph Gerhardt for the homicide of H. Schoulte; the witnesses for the (pepe were being examined with a view to elicit, if possible, any further facts in relation to the causes which h to the death of the unfortunate opongrer ing material, however, was brought o1 eeainies te the facts given before the court in the former trial. The evidence for the ution being closed the defence commenced soppy ro aa Was prett ‘ly the same as given i Mr. Mor yan called several Sipecatien tor the de fence who in the other trial. been on the * at with a view to discredit the evidence of sever: of the witnesses for the prosecution in confound- ing their statements with those made in the pre- vious trial. No material contradictions were, however, shown. The evidence for the defence was the same an that given before, with the exception of some new testimony which was offered. Lieut. Snow, new witness, sworn.—Bel to the coast survey; was coming home from his of- fice about three o’clock on the day of the affray; was passing by the house of the defendant, an saw three or four men, who were very drunk, standing on the side walk st Starsipri house; another man, apparently onging ie ty,” was standing a the bar-room door, and beckon! to the party outside to come in and pay for ir drinks; they were swearing that they had — witness thought they were in a ripe state fora spree and avoided them in pass- ing, going ont near the edge of the pavement, to “pass as far from them as it was possible; got some ninety feet by this house, and saw acolored man, who was calling to some companion beyond the party; he was Lesa get, | towards the drank rty, as the man he was calling to was m; witness thought to stop the negro, thinking that if he went by the party, who were ready to pitch into any one, they would attack him; the ro did not hear witness tell him to stop, but fo. Lint looked to see the attack, which he was sure would Ag wate he “= not mista- kee; the caught the negro as he was pass- ing ‘by fag peat him shamefully, striking and kicking him ina brutal and shamefal manner. Witness then passed on, and when he got over the canal bridge, going from the place, he heard the report of a pistol; did not go back to see what was done; thought it was natural, from the state the parties were in, that pistols would be tired. This was all the newevidence presented by the defence, and the case was closed Mr. Key, for the prosecution, addressed the jury at some length and with great ability, en- deavoring to im upon the minds of the jury the alleged fact that the firing on the part of the defendant was not in self-defence; that the evi- dence of the defence, going to show justiflable shooting on his part, was not sufficiently clear in his mind, and was uot, Le felt sure, in the mind of the jury to justify an acquittal. Mr. Key was followed by Mr. Morgan for the defence, who made a warm open to the jury in behaif of the defendant, and of the position in which he found himself. for saving vindicated his honor and the sacred rights of his household against a mob of riotous aud frenzied men, who bad attcekedwith brutal and murderous malice the wife of his bosom, and by so doing had caus- ed the untiowly death of the defeudant’s friend and companioa. Mr. M. contended that there could never be a clearer case of justifiable homi- cide than this, and asked at the hands of the jury the verdict which should send his client back to his family. Mr. M- closed, and Mr. Key stated that he had said all that he intended to say upon the matter, and stated to thé jury that it wus their duty to bring in a verdict of some kind, that the court expected them tedo so, and urged upon them the necessity of tryigg to come to an agreement in the case. The case was then given to the jury, who re- tired to consider upon their verdict. ‘The court tranSacted some unimportant busi- ness, and finally adjourned, —= in the mean time having beenheard from the at jury. This morning the Court met at the usual hour. The jen, in the case of Jos. Gerhardt brought in a verdict of not guilty. ‘Phe Court then took up the case of John Kelly, el with assanit and battery on Thos. Thorn on the 7th day of July, 1557. Verdict, not guilty. ‘The Court ‘then took up the case of inane Harper, indicted for larceny, in two cases, of di- vers articles ef goods, the property of Lewis Paine and €. rrow, on the Ist day of July, 1557. Verdict, guilty. ‘The next case which came up was that of Eliz- abeth Lee age alias Edinburg, (free colored.) charged with- assault and battery on Adeline Smith (also colored) on the 20th day of June last. Adeline Smith testified that on the day in ques- tion she sent her son Abrabam Smith to the ba- kers, and soon afterwards she heard Abraham seream; she ran out and saw the defendant beat- ing him; she then ran up and caught the defend- aut, and asked her why she did not come to het (witness) and not beat the child; the defendant replied that she had a right to beat the child for it had struck Aer child; witness replied that had it not been that the Lord had changed her soul = #he would scrush the defendant under her feet; that the defendant then struck and bit witness on » the wrist and beat her in the face te, Rebecca ‘Thorne was sworn for the defense, and ® to the effect that the attack was com- by Adeline Smith; that she pushed the t off, aud then the defendaut struck Ade- ; she heard Adeline say if the Lord had not d her soul she would schrush the defend- ant ander ber feet; this was about all she knew about it.

Im this market there are 125 vegetable stalis. be- ’ aceémmodations for country dealers, and 42 lchers stalls.and these at the last renting yielded over $3,000; the year previous the yield was alittle over $7W0. showing an increase in value of about $2,000. The entire annual expense to be deducted from this is $306, including the Clerk’s pay and the expense of cleaning the market. This market is lighted with gus inside at the expense of the dealers. The sales he are Lees Se Wednesdays and Fridays, an short market Saturday nights. ‘T'he attendance is always very good, and we areassured by Mr G. D. Spencer, the excellent Clerk of the miarket, that the preser- vation of order is pecan J attended to by all the dealers and citizens who attend there, and who seem to delight in making it a quiet and or- deriy market, that he was obliged to solicit the interference of the police in only a single instance in the past twelve months. =- Tus TvurNers anv THe Maxnercuor.—Dear reader, did you hear a play pe-formed all in Ger- man!’ We did on Friday night, and were vastly entertained, not that we understood a word of what was said, but the acting was sufficient! to give us 4 clue to the plot as it was evolv The * Singer Society’’ opened with a beautiful chorus, ‘* The Morning Greeting,”’ by Marshner; then came an amusing farce, ** Humorous Stu- dies,”’ well performed by Messrs.

Rowsery axp ARREsT.—About 2 o'clock Sun- day morning, information was given to Captain Mills of the suspicious movements of an indi- vidual seen lurking in the passage under the Dexter House, leading from Seventh to Eighth street. Capt. Mills and Officer Wollard started in pursuit of this person, and traced him to an f room of an unoccupied house in the rear of the “* Arcade,’ on D street, between Eighth and Ninth, where the suspected party was arrested, and with him was found $200 worth of goods, cassimeres, silks, &c., stolen from the store of R. W. Carter. In the thief was recognized an old offender, a colored man named John Butler alias John Wil- liams. He was taken before Justice Wanyb, who committed him fora further hearing before Justice Sinith. Butler has been in the hands of Captain Mills on two previous occasions, ouce for breaking into the Dexter House, and recently for assaulting and beating a boy. Mr. Carter is unable to ascertain the exact amount of his loss, but supposes it to have been to the value of double what has been recovered. Among the goods yet missing are fine silk handkerchiefs, sitk gloves, cashmere shawls, silk balf Lose and other valuable articles. ATTEMPT AT Suicipg.—Much excitement was created about 11 o'clock last night, in the neigh- borhood of Eighth and I streets, north, by the shrieks of females, and on inquiry as to the cause it was ascertained that a young man, 22 years of age, named Asbury Reardon, a bricklayer by trade, had attempted to end his life by taking landanum. Dr. Dubame! was summoned and the proper remedies were promptly enough applied to save the life of the young man. The motive for the Tash is not known, but it is said he had previously announced his deter- mination to kill himself within two weeks. YestERDay Morning, Rev. G. W. Sampson, of the E street Baptist Church, delivered a very impressive discourse upon the sudden decease of ex-Secretary Marcy, taking for his text Eccles, %h chapter and 3d verse. “For all this I con- sidered in my heart even to declare all this; that the righteous and the wise and their woiks are iu the hands of God; no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before him.’? This dis- course we believe isto be published, a general desire having been expressed to that effect. At THE DistRisution oF Premiums at the Academy of the Visitation, Mount De Sales, in Baltimore, on Wednesday last, Miss Elizabeth King of this city received the second award for honsekeeping ; she also received first academic honors.

Wanrm.—This morning. a pair of young colored individuals, by way of settling an account which had been standing between them, had a fight in the northern part of the Fourth Ward. Hard knocks, a roll in the dust, and profuse gat ates tion ended the matter for the preseut, both of them admitting that the weather was most too warm to permit a final settlement. Tue Rev. Henry Stantey, who has lately resigned the rectorship of Ascension Church, (Episcopal,) delivered his farewell sermon yes- terday morning. Bartism.—Rev.
