LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Exctasion oF tae Wasntnctox Lieut Ix- FANTRY.—At 2 o'clock, p. m_, on Friday last, the steamer Powhatan, Capt. Charles Mitchell, left her wharf, foot of Sixth street, with the party of excursionists, numbering some three hundred rsons. The assembled company was well se- Feeted and in capital good pial, sn the quan- tity of bampers of provisions and baskets of nick- nacks brought on board by each little family party, indicated, more powerfully than words could have done, that there was to be no lack of ‘good cheer on board; and the supposition was sul nently more than justified. The time-honored Infantry company, with their usnal good management and tact, had taken every precaution to have an excursion this year that should surpass in pleasure to its participants those of ious years. They securing a good and substantial steamboat, with an able and experienced captain. The next thing was to see that the creature comforts for the Ad were well looked after. This was effected by the Cumpany in securing the services of the popular caterer Reynolds, to whom was entrusted this most important part of the campaign. Subse- quent developments, in the way of dinners, &c., proved this to be a judicious arrangement on the part of the committee. Various confectionery stands were arranged around the sides of the forward po Rage g ice cream, soda water, &c., were plentifully aoppited by Mr. Wright. Speak- ing of soda water, his is a touch above the com- mon, being the pure article, manufactured by imself. z ‘The Powhatan plowed her way along at about seventeen miles per hour, touching at Alexandria for a moment for chance passengers. Pretty soon after leaving Alexandria, the forward deck was cleared of 5 F arinny ebairs, &c., and then the dan¢e began, and was kept up with occasional variations, snch as short visits to the bar below on the part of the gentlemen who did not take along with them a carpet , containing (osten- sibly) a change of linen; and plates of ice cream on the part of the ladies, until the beil rung tye signal for supper. The supper table was well nel i with beef steaks, mutton chop, fried chicken, coffee, tea, and all the necessary “tillers in” to incite the ap petite of the epicure or the dyspeptic. The attack was simultaneous and well sustained, with mili- tary precision, led by the indefatigable Lieut. Tucker, and, knife and fork in hand, all fought bravely uatil huager was defeated, and the well- spread table was cleared of all that had made it so attractive a short time previous. The room was then cleared for dancing, and here the major part ofthe crowd was congregated, and to the livel ly strains of Withers’ band, busy feet were going through all sorts of mazes, and the flushed cheek and brilliant lip told a tale of ten-fold enjoyment among the merry-makers. At bed time commenced a hunting up of berths and bed clothes, and, for some hours thereafter, was kept arich scene of pillow-throwing and blanket- stealing. By one o'clock all beeame quiet, each men baving provided himself, “by Look or by crook,” with some kind of sleeping accommoda- tions. Soon efter daylight the next morning we were in sight of Smith’s Point. The morning, like the previons night, was delizhtfal. In one hour and a half the Rappalanneck light was passed, and the beams of the rising sun shed a cheerful and beautiful infivence all around. The various light-hooses, Wolf Trap, Seven-foot-knoll, Buck River, Wilt y’s Light, New Point Comfort, were successively passed, and about 10 o'clock we were steaming itup Hampton Roads, where the view, always beautiful on either side, was enhanced by the many vessels, steamers, and various other river craft with ich the inter- mediate space was thickly interspersed. Passing Old Point at a speed of about 16 miles the hour, the steamer made her ouward course to Norfolk, where we arrived at llo’clocka.m., with stream- ers flying and Withers’ band playing in excellent style, while the passengers who crowded the decks were exchanging words of jovial greeting with the people who flocked to the wharf. Here the excursionists were to stop for the day, and the passengers were soon scattering in litle parties im ali directions, each one inteut on the execution of some particular scheme—some to look for fresh fish and oysters, while others, hav- ing ladies in charge dispersed to look for any fan that might turn up. We felt little inclined to participate in Norfolk dissipations, and, in com- pany with two Washington friends, we crossed ever to Portsmouth, visiting the market-house. the Navy Yard, and finally boarding the Penn- sylvania, where we were treated to a glass of clear, pure water, which bas been in the hold of the ship since 1335, j ; we strolled up town, h the market house, where we found eur caterer, Mr. Reynolds, busily engaged in lay ing in as many fresh fish as be could tind for din- ner. Passing through the market we strolled ‘up Catharine street to the corner of Freemason, where we stopped to admire the beautiful Baptist Church, built, we_beli in the Gothic style and fitted up inside w excellent taste, an having @ fine organ. Passing down Freema- son to Church street. we encountered Paul's Episcopal Church of Ame church fs in the form of a Greek c of brick imported from Engiand, in : Want of time prevents a detail of the many pleasant events of the stay in Norfolk; suffice it to say, the enjoyments were universal, and at 5 Pp. m,allcame aboard well pleased, and amid the hearty huzzas of the company and the music of the baud the Powhatan left the wharf on her Feturn to Vid Point. Arrived zt Old Point, the party spent the night in fishing, bathing, and dancing on the wharf below the Fort. id Sunday came, and with it a visit atSa.m,to the Fort. where we witnessed the parade of the troops, numbering some two hundred and fifty ofticers and men, after which baths were the o7 der of the day. then crab fishing, in which every one who could find a line and a piece of raw Lecf partic: 7 At2o‘clock p.m. the signal bell for our de- parture was sounded, and in a few moments off started the boat for Piney Point. The gratitica- tion of the passengers was universal throughout, and a meeting of the passengers on board was called in the captain’s cabin, aud Andrew Joyce was called to the chair. The chair announced that the meeting was called to take measures in respect to the trip. On motion of Mr. Boycean, a committee of five Persons. consisting of Messrs. Arnold, Dyser, Boyceau, Springmon.and J H. Reynolds, were appointed to draft and report resolutions expres- sive of the sense of the meeting. After afew mo- meuts, the committee returned the following pre- amble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: F. Whereas, we feel highly gratified at the kind and hospitable treatment which we have received at the bands of the Washington Light Infantry daring the present excursion; and whereas, the manly politeness of Capt. Charles Mitchell and bis officers of the steamer Powhatan has con- duced greatly to the comfort and gratitication of all on board during the trip; zk whereas, the successful issue of the present excursion is at- tributable to their united and hearty ©0-operation in affording every facility to the passengers : therezore, be it Resoited, That the hearty thanks of this com- pany are due to Lieut. John F. Tucker, in com- mand of the Washington Light Infantry, (Capt. James Y. Davis being absent,) and the various officers and men of the Company, for the uniforn good order and onanimity with which the pri ent excursion bas been characterized throughout Kesoleed, That our united thanks are due to Capt. Charles Mitchel! and the officers and men of the steamer Powhatan, for the safe and pleas- ant conduct of this trip under his and their ex- cellent 1 ement. Resolced, That to the skilful and munificent caterer, Mr. J.C. Reynolds, who has throughout the trip provided in the most ample manner for the entertainment of the rs, we tender our sincere and hearty thanks. Resolved, That the music fu-nished this excur- sion by the City Band. under the skilful direction of Mr. Wm. Withers, has pleased, gratified and delighted all on board, and our thanks are due him and his band for their successful efforts to entertain this company. On —— meeting adjourned; and various toasts of an appropriate character were roposed and responded inom the part of the mitltar and the civilians. The boat only touc Piney Point in passing up, for a few moments, and then steamed it homeward, where she arrived at the wharf at a quarter to § o’clock this morning. The universal expression of the company, on arriving at the wharf, was one of sorruw at the termination of the trip; all agreeing that the Old Infantry on this occasion had surpassed them- selves in hospitality totheir guests Opp FetLows’ Funexar.—Yesterday Centra, Lodge and other branches of the I. 0. O. F., pa- raded in large numbers, to attend the funeral of Mr Richard Furtner, a deceased member of the Order. Prosperi’s band accompanied the pro- cession, performing in excellent style music zp- propriate to the occasion. The corpse was depo- sited a Glenwood Cemetery, and the funeral ser- vice of the order was performed by R. W. Mid- divton, chaplain, as also the servjces of the Pres- terian Chureb. Rev. Jno. C.

Buchly was the undertaker, Rusawayr fanv Swasu.—Vesterday,a pair of horses attached to a carriage belonging to Mr. Dorsey, started on Seventh street and ran down Massachusetts avenue and Sixth street at a gait that threatened danger to the life and limbs of children and others on the side walks.

Such cases as assault, assault threats, assault with intent to kill, fraud, obtainii goods under false pretence, arson, rape, and mayhein, although they are the most uupleasant to deal with, do not pay at all; on the contrary, are losses to the magistrates and officers. These cases the officer is ex} to take and to serve in them, without to the tear of cloth- ing and flesh, and frequently are obliged toemploy physicians in consequence of injuries received in arresti| rate parties. The Constables are frequently obliged to hire carriages to convey persons to prison, but even for this they are not repaid. In felony cases—that is, murder and theft—the officer {s allowed for the service of a warrant 33 cents; for a summons 16% cents; com- mitment 50cents. The Magistrate gets for a war- rant, 12% cents; summons, 12 cents; swearing a witness, 6 cents; judgment, 12% cents; commit- ment, 13; bon > 124% cents; release, 12 cents. Formerly it was, for a warrant, 12% cents; sam- mons, 12% cents; a witness, 6% cents; judgment, 123g cents; commitment, 25 cents; bond, 25 cents At present the county officers have little inducement to risk their persons in ar Testing desperate offenders. The credit of making arrests is but poor pay in suchcases. Theconse- quence is thut fewer offenders are arrested than under the eld system. Tur River.—A Mr. John Dean, belonging to the canal boat Mary Ellis, was drowned on Fri- day night at the wharf foot of Sixth street. He was seen ina state of intoxication a short time previously. The body was recovered on yester- day about noon; when found, officer Lloyd of the Seventh district, refused to have it removed from the water, and it was accordingly fastened up to the pile of the wharf by a line; and up to nine o’clock this merning ‘no coroner ar- rived There is certainly some lamentable defect in the laws governing the coroner’s inquest in this District. That a dead body should remain in the water at one of our wharves for a space of more than forty-eight hours, without the pres- ence of a coroner, is simply outrageous, and shonld be made the text forthe commencement of a reform of the existing system, without delay. ‘There ‘ht to be a coroner for this city, and he ought to be a prompt active man. The Collyer took down to the White House this roarnaiy nas German Yagersand their friends, numbering ween five and six hundred y fora day's pleasure at that pleasant Summer re- sort The schr. Margaret, Capt. Hensen, temporaril for the Mott Bedell line of packets, arrived at the wharf of Messrs. Stone & Magruder this morn- ing, from New York. Her consignees for Wash- iugton are Messrs. 8.

On Saturday, Mr. H. 8. Ward arrested John Reilly, a barkeeper at the restaurant of M. D’Ivenois, inthe First Ward, who was charged on the oath of George Boyd, a hackman, with sending hima challenge to fight aduel. The challenge fixed the time and place, (the latter near the city boundary,) when and where the whole was to be settl Reilly was taken before Justice Clark, where he exhibited considerable emotion, especially when the Squire read to him the law onthe subject. Reilly stated that it never entered his mind to fight with dead- ly weapons, and he only expected to use his fists inthe combat. The Justice administered a pointed lecture to the accused. who listened with com- mendable patience, and when it was concluded he was dismissed. Fient asout a WaATERMELON..—On Saturday afternoon last, the neighborhood of East Capitol street was the scene of a desperate fight, between three strapping big darkies, about the Possession of a watermelon. The party claiming the said melon (or the value of it in money) chased the als in possession from the street into the East Capitol grounds, where a desperate fight ensued, in which all three of the belligerents came off sec- ond best; they all whi each other, and those who witnessed the atfray say the parties ‘were covered with blood. The police of the Capitol, headed by C: in Dunnington, hearing of the melee, proceeded to the scene, and suceeeded in capturin; were tried before two of them. a Justice McKenney, and one of them held to bail for his appearance at the next term of the Crimi- nal Court; while the watermelon question remains in statu quo. Free Ficut.—Yesterday, as the funeral of Mr. Purtner was passing to Glenwood Cemetery a large number of persons, male and female, were seen near Fourth and N streets engaged in a dis- c= fight. Quite a number of cut heads and lack eyes resulted from it. The women ap- peared to be the most desperate, for when the males were ongeged the females would join in With stones and strike the combatants on their heads. The police undertook to make arrests, but when they approached the belligerents ran into a house together, and all declared there had been no fight at that place, but that there had been a row down in Swampoodle, several squares below. Order having been restored, the o' cers, being unable to Ligon f the parties, retired, leav- ing warning that another outbreak would ‘cause the arrest of all engayed or looking on. Coroxgn’s Inquests—W uo Pays ?—The phy- sicians of Albany, N. Y., to the number of sev- enty-five, we see have refused any participation in post-mortem examinations, because the Super- visors have failed to audit their bills. A similar difficulty occurs in this city, and though the hacer have taken no united action, we be- jeve they have individually, in various instances, declined to hold post-mortem examinations on the geen that no compensation was received for this unpleasant task. In fact, for services on inquests neither coroner. jurors, physicians, or witnesses have been paid since the refusal of Government to liquidate those expenses. The levy court has been applied to, bat also declines, and apparently nothing short of a law-suit will decide who pays, or if the parties are to be paid at all. A Wasuixcton Corresronpent of the Balti- more Clipper says: ‘* For a week past there have been rumors of a duel between Major Tyler, of the Marines, and Robert E. Scott, Esq_, one of the counsel who recently defended the persons accused of participating in election riots on the first of June. The Major, it appears, took offence at the remarks of the gentleman, and a corres- pondence passed, which has had the effect, if not of removing entirely the desire to fignt, the post- ponement of hostifities! At least, such is the version of a gentleman whe ought to know ail about the matter.” “Music HatH Cuaums,” &c.—Almost every Second Warder we meet bas his ears stuffed with raw cotton. A serenading epidemic it seems has burst out there amongst the young folks, and though the citizens feel complimented by the at- tention, they find it convenient to protect their tympaoums until the musical couleurs et in somewhat better practice. Some of the perform- ers have voices of considerable promise, and fif- teen or twenty years of assiduous practice might make their music quite endurable. The others being quite deficient in voice and ear, will, of course, labor under disadvantages in their musi- cal progress. Fieut at tue Camp Grounp.—Yesterday a namber of lawless individuals went to the Camp Ground of the Methodist Societies, in Montgom- ery county, Maryland, and there created a row, ‘The fight was not confined’ to the men, for we hear that a number of lewd women also fei- pated in it. weap? gprs were injured ta the scuffle, but the crowd of rowdies were at length driven away.

The steamship Vanderbilt. from New York on Saturday, Ai Ist, arrived off Southampton on Tuesday, the Lith, but our despatch does not state the exact hour. Her passage, however, is called nine days and thirteen hours, mean time. The Collins steamer Atlantic, which sailed from New York at the same time as the Vanderbilt (12 o’clock m. os eo Ist,) arrived at Liverpool at 12 o'clock, midnight, on the 12th. ‘The steamship City of Washington sailed from Liverpool for New York at noon on the 12th inst., and the steamer General Williams, in place of the screw-propeller Khersonese, (taken up by the Government for India,) was advertii to leave the same afternoon for St. Johns, N.

Lord John Russell had reported from the Par- liamentary select committee, that the Jews could not be admitted as members of Parliament under the eed act for the modification of oaths Lord Palmerston explained to the House of Commons the difficulties with France with regard to the Moldavian elections, and stated that it had been decided, in conference at Osborn, to recom- mend the Sultan to annul the late election. Lord Palmerston also stated that there had been differ- ences between the English and French Govern- ments relative to the Principalities—not as to their union, but simply as to the regularity of the election. There was good reason to believe that ‘Austria would concur with ie decision arrived at between the French and English Governments, and that the Sultan, seeing that there was nothing inthe measures recommended that would com- promise his dignity or independence, would adopt their views, and declare the elections void. Lord Palmerston said there was no ground to a »pre- hend any estrangement between France and Sos: Jand on account of the Moldavian difficulties A spirited debate had taken place in Parliament in regard to affairs in India. Lord Palmerston stated that thirty thousand troops had been sent ont, and that active recruiting was going on. Mr. D'Israeli expressed the opinion thal the campaign for this year was lost. The Emperor and Empress of France bad re- tured safely to Paris. John Bright bad been returned to Parliament from Birmingham, without opposition. The Continental news is generally devoid of interest.

The Russian embassador struck his flag on the 6th instant. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Times says that the pending difficulties in regard to Moldavia wiil be submitted for solution to a con- ference of the representatives of the various pow- ers interested. Later Indian news was momentarily expected when the Anglo-Saxon sailed. The schooner An peels under American colors, was seized in the Bight of Benin. Africa, on the 15th of Sune, and condemned.
