Read “The Owl Finder,’ in our weekly, also *- The Surgeon's Revenge,”’ “‘ A Lost Inher- tance,” “‘ Mistakes of a Short-Sighted Man,”’ “Traveling for health reviewed medically,” and the poetical articles, “‘ Dad is growing, old, John,” “‘New Mown Hay,” “The Sabbath Day,’ and “Somebody.” In the editorial and Joeal columns will be found a full description of the recefition of the Western visitors here and in Baltimore. The elaborate editorial article upon the Overland Mail is worthy of special attention. In the other columns will be found a great quantity of interesting news and other matter. Price, for single numbers, 3 cents; or $1 25 SATURDAY. The Jutelligencer, in making some quotations from Senator Hunter’s address before the cadets irginia Military Institute, pays a grace- ful compliment to that gentleman, and says of the address : “Like all that proceeds from Mr. Hunter, it will be found marked by traits of sound and so- ber thought, embodied in sedate yet felicitous Janguage, thus composing that rare union of se- vere logic and chastened rhetoric which are alike exempt from prurience of style on the one hand and arid dullness on the other.’* The Unton has an article demonstrating that there aro really but two parties in the country, the democratic and their adversaries; and these two parties are. always found arrayed upon the opposite sides of every political ques- tion coming up for action. » <oe- Deranttre or THs WesTERN VistToRs. —The excursionists from the West having returned to Baltimore from their agreeable trip to Portsmouth and Norfolk, proceeded to their hotels, and after Mathering their baggage and bidding good bye to their friends of the city, many of them started for the North, whilst others took the Wheeling train of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, intending to Proceed directly home. They left in the 8} train yesterday about 25, and in the train which deft in the afternoon about 30, besides Menter’s Band of Cincinnati. At Norfolk and Portsmouth, the visitors were amade much of during their short stay. ‘Phe fine military companies of Norfolk and Portsmouth turned out to receive them, and after a parade and a visit to the many objects of interest, there was some cracking of champagne bottles, etc., ete., at ahe Macon House in Portsmouth, and at Johnson's: Hail in Norfolk. In Portsmouth, the buildings of the Seaboard: and Roanoke Railroad Company were tastefully decorated with banners. From one of the win- dows was suspended a flag bearing the inscrip- tion: ** Welcome, Western Guests!” A string f various national ensigns was also suspended p aie the northwest to southeast corner of High street, under which the procession passed. In Norfolk, too, flags were suspended from various bulidings. ieipepeann topes Tue Epitoriat Staeet Arraary at Lovis- vitte.—The fracas at Louisville some days since between Prentice of the Journal, and Durrett of the Courier, grew out of the former charging Mr. Elliott, a candidate for Congress, with drunk- enness. whereupon the Courier made a similar wharge against Prentice. By the correspondence published in the Louisville papers it would seem that Prentice demanded a retraction of the article and an avowal of its authorship, which was not | conceded. where«pon Prentice invited Durrett to @ street fight by letter, which letter the latter did not receive previous to the attack commenced «= friends was in wait for Durrett. A number of pistol shots passed between the parties without particular execution on either side, Mr. Prentice being slightly wounded in the leg. After the af- fray Durrett sent a challenge to Prentice, which he declined, as he is opposed to dueling. Fearing that Durrett might do some violence to Prentice, the friends of the latter took some legal steps to prevent it, and the parties were both held to bail to keep the peace for twelye months. ETI Mosquitogs 1x Froxipa.—The Key West correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, in his letter of the lth inst., speaking of mosquitoes, which, since the late heavy rains, have become Very troublesome on the Key, says: In the Calc! coger these pests of Southern life are frightfully abundant. At Fort Dallas they are so plentiful that both officers and men rave; the guard on dut s their whole time under bars. The sentry fs | Pe with a mosquito veil, or rather bag, thrown over the head. and kept out from the face by a hoop; woolen clothes, doots, and gauntleted gloves, protect the limbs and bedy from their murderous attacks.

Tae Arrrextice Systew.—We beg the Star’s readers not to become. weary of this sub- | ject, as, in common with all others whose inter- ests are bound up with the general prosperity of the country, they are directly imterested to ward off the consequences of its success upon the general interests of all. We care notwhere_ the reader may be located, or what may be his employment or condition in life, if his interest is to be affected disastrously by the general de- cay of our national prosperity that must grow out of successful rivalry to our Southern States in the production (by other nations) of cotton, rice and tobaceo, he is immediately and deeply interested in the defeat of the triumph of this scheme. Yesterday, we urged that England seeks to induce the planters of Cuba to become adve- cates forthe change. Wehad no space at com- mand, then, in which further to illustrate that fact, evident not only in the arguments used in the London Times, but in the columns of the journals published on the Island of Cuba, over allof which British influence is well nigh as paramount as the stringent law of the mother country regulating what shall and what shall not be published in them. We have private advices of a very late date from Havana, saying that the authorities of the island, as well as the’ home government, are prepared to accede to England’s purposes in this matter, and are now sccretly striving to prepare the planters to give up cheerfully the system of slavery as at present regulated there by law, and adopt the new one. To our mind this combination betwcen England and Spain, backed as it is by France, has also the purpose in view of rendering the island of Cuba unde- sirable to the United States; and thus lessen- ing the chances that Spain will, in the end, be compelled by the force of circumstances to dis- pose of it to us. Such aconsideration alono could induce Spain, proverbially slow to change, to consent to barter her Cuban bird in the hand, for one im the bush. We submit that the com- bination, mo Tess than its purpose, clearly em- brace a contingency laid down in the ‘‘ Ostend Manifesto,”’ as affording sufficient ground for prompt and positive repulsion on the part of this Government of their pelicy. Or. in other words, for decided measures on the part of the United States to repel outside European inter- ference in the domestic affairs of Cuba, which, under the received theory concerning its future | held by ninety im every hendred Amerieans, cannot be permitted to change its political status j@ any way, unless to bécome ours. We need net rehearse the doctrines [aid down in that imypostant paper—the Ostend Manifesto—for alt are aware that it affirmed the duty and right of the United States to protect themselves from’ the consequences of any political change of the status of the istand of Cuba adverse to our in- tereats. Nome in the United States failed to endorse the soundness of this position; which was not one of thove of the memorable mani- festo that met with opposition in this country. If it was sound doctrine then, of which we en- tertain no doubt whatever, it is as sound now that the moment rapidly approaches when it will become the duty of the United States, them- selves, to vindicate its supremacy at ail hazards and any cost. The Stur’s readers know that we have for years steadily defended the rights of Spain in connection with Cuba with earnestness and zeal, and will credit us therefore for being neither a flibustivreWeharmist, nor an a of Spain's well that there must be substantial aan PPE our act in thus raising a warning cry against the purposes of the three governments that are in this disgraceful and (to our future) dangerous conspiracy. We have taken pains to explain the other reasons, in previous articles upon this subject, and now ask whether it can be possible that the American people will fail to demand of their government that it shall promptly prevent Cuba from being transferred practically to Eng. land’s jurisdiction, by and through the proposed modification of its institution, which modifica- tion cannot fail to have as the basis of its suc- cess some stipulation according to England the right and duty of regulating the police—the do- mestic affairs of the island, far more effectually than she does at present, though all thoroughly posted concerning the island’s affairs inust be aware that she has for the last quarter of a century been gradually coming to regulate the relative rights, duties and status of master and slave throughout Cuba. Ever since she abol- ished slavery in her own West India Islands such has been her steady aim, and gradually she has heen acquiring more practical power so to do. Her consuls and commissioners on the island are now almost all-powerful in deter- mining the judgment of its courts and the action of its authorities on all slavery questions; and if the proposed apprentice system be carried out, the authority of her functionaries there upon such points or subjects will be as strong as ever written law could make it. Under such circumstances, we regard thecur- rent efforts to change the slavery system of the Island—to compass the abolishment of the pres- ent system and the cubstitution of another em- bracing most reprehensible features, aga virtual transfer of jurisdiction over the island to Eng- land, in order that she may, at her leisure, re- alize her schemes to cripple the prosperity of the United States, which purpose has been at the bottom of all she has done in the matter of slavery since abolishing slavery in her own West India possessions Tue Tureatexep War BETWEEN SPAIN AND Mexico.—We are no believer that this expect- ed rupture can possibly octur, notwithstanding the probable pledges of England and France that they will regard and treat all efforts of the latter to land forces on the Island of Cuba, com- posed in part of American volunteers in her service, as filibustering—piratical—expeditione. Spain knows that; under the provisions of in- ternational law, such expeditions 80 composed would be perfectly legitimate; and, further, that in a month after her declaration of war against Mexico may be known in this country, fifty thousand Americans will volunteer to take up arms in Mexico's defence, if but for the ‘egal opportunity for an invasion of Cuba it will afford them. She knows, too, that, per- ceiving the drift of her (Spain's) intrigues with England and France relative to the proposed Apprentice System, the United States will in- sist that those two European Governments shall remain perfectly neutral in the contest—the penalty being our formal participation in it on Mexico’s side; it being the interest of thi8 Government to secure to Mexico all her rights in such a contest, under the laws of war as now recognized by all civilized nations, among which is the right to accept the serv ces of any individuals she pleases, and with them in her armies to invade any of the dominions of her adversary she may choose to invade. Spain, though in her late temper she has ns- sembled at Havana a considerable naval arma- ment and quite an army to that end, will, on reflection, decline to risk, at this time, the dan- gerous experiment of a war with Mexico. Caveur in rein own Trap.—The public are doubtless aware that Simeon Draper, Esq., the only man of entire capacity and high char- acter among the Republican members of the New York Metropolitan police commission, re- signed @ few days since, because his colleagues insisted on appointing notorious thieves and bruisers to be policomen—it is seid. His jority in the Board, which can alone fill the va- GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS. 5 - | Correspondence of The Star. poms eS the aad ee ek Groncrtown, July 25, 1857. New York, Mayor Powell, of Brooklyn, andy) The Aldermen were svithout.a quorum last Mr. Cholwelll; an American party man, former ly a Hard Sheil Democrat, all of whom, up to the resignation of Draper, had declined attend- ing its sessions. When that event took place, however, Mayor Wood immediately arra: with these two gentlemen, that the three should hereafter attend the meetings of the Board; where, being able “to tie’’ their colleagues, they will surely destroy it, by refusing to fill the vacancy and to continue the operation of its machinery, set ap, as they contend, for a Republican party end, and over the rights and against the interests of the city of New York. From present appearances, the resignation of Mr. Draper has afforded Mayor Wood an op- portunity to gain a victory over the Republican party scheme for the invasion of the right of of New York to regulate her own municipal concerns, which he will, doubtless, use to its entire defeat. Tue Mixot Lence Licut-Hovse.—In the Boston Journal of July 21, we find a communi- cation from Capt. B. 8. Alexander of the Engi- neer corps, contradictory of the statement which appeared originally in that paper in regard to the estimated cost of the new Minot Ledge Light-house, and which statement was copied widely throughout the press of the country. Capt. Alexander says ‘‘ the probable cost will not be ‘$1,000,000."’ Half that sum willcom- plete it; probably much less than half.’’ Also, that “ the great difficulty,’’—that of preparing the foundation for the superstructure—is now four-fifths completed, and is being overcome as rapidly as possible. ht, and tra ON IE mctge wel te yor teturning the two ions repealing parts of ordinances in relationto upper road lead- ing to the Little Falls bridge, and giving at ag Sige reasons for withholding his signature the same. : On the question, “Shall the resolutions pass notwithstanding the objections of the Mayor?” the vote was taken and resulted as follows: Yeas— Messrs. Fearson, Cropley, White, Pickrell, and English—5. Nays—Messrs. Jones, Seymour, Oys- ter, and Thomas—4. Two-thirds not voting in the affirmative, the veto was sustained. Also, a message was received informing the Councils that Capt. Woodruff had been detailed to survey the Georgetown ¢hannel of the Poto- mac ; and in relation to the appointment of dele- gates to attend the Southern Convention. A letter was read from A.

Also, one from James Collins, complaining of a tine which had been im; upon him for selling liquor without license One from Bernard Magee, asking to be released. from the payment of a fine imposed on him for selling liquor on Sunday. And the memorial of Thos. Hunter and others asking the Corporation to cause to be abated a nuisance caused by the stopping up of a sewer on the east side of the market house. All of which were referred to appropriate committees. Mr. White reported from the streets’ committee resolutions in favor of Wm. H. Fletcher, Wm. Calhoun, authorising the opening of Valley street from West to Road. Resolution appropriating $200 for the repair of gravel streets; and a reso- lution authorising the establishment of the grade of Fayette street, from Fourth to High, in ac- cordance with the profile furnished by the Sur- veyor; all of which were passed.

Upon this resolution quite a spicy debate a which was indulged in by the entire Cow It was finally disposed off by referring it to a spe- cial committee, consisting of Messrs.

In the chapel of the Georgetown College, on Thursday last, the sub-deaconsbip, on Friday the deaconship, and on Saturday (to-day) the or- der of priesthood were conferred upon the fol- lowing gentlemen of the Society of Jesus, by the Most Rev.

Goxge To THE Sprixgs.—Nearly everybody belonging in Washington who can get away, have gone off to the country, or to some sea shore or mountain region watering place. So all is dullness—twice dull here just now.
