It has uot been customary to light them of moonlight nights. His cause of com- plaint lies against Conzress, who have not appro- priated enough to light them when the moon is supposed to be likely to shine brightly, and the moon, for failing to shine out from behind the black clouds that overhung Washington City on Thursday night last; it having beena moonlight night, according to the programme in the alma- hac: Editor of the Star: We had an illustration last night (Thursday) of the old proverb, ** Man pro- poses, but God dixposes.”” You know what a very continued rainy day it was, and how it poured down ail evening. Well, sir, under such circumstances. it was ‘‘as dark as pitch ”? espe- cially in the First Ward. It appears the Gas Company or the cityauthorities proposed itshould be a moonlight night, and therefore neglected to light up, for there was not a public lamp lit f-om the War Department to Georgetown. It was badly needed, I assure you, much more so than for three or four nighis previous, wien we really had the ““moon and stars’ for a brief spell, and the gax thrown in. By the way, what causes the gas to b eryns die out about nine o'clock in these First ard lamps recently, and to yo down and flash up several times during the evening in Private burners? Wiil you enlivhten us a little on this very light subject, by flashing the rays of the ““ Star" thereon? When are we going to have that reduction in price? Yours, &c., Carpon. Tur River.—The Collyer went to the White House and Fort Washington to-day, on the ex- cursion of the Washington Orpheon Quartette, The excursionists were accompanied by a part ef the Marine Band, under the direction of Professor Fred. Prosperi. The Coliyer will go down the river to-morrow on an excursion, and will be hauled up on Howard's ways, at Alex- andria, on Wednesday and Thursday, for inspec tion. On Friday, she will make the usual trip to Mouut Vernon. At Alexandria, yesterday, a man (name un- known) on board a coal schooner from New York, at the coal wharves, while in the act of hoisting avail, fell dead om the deck. The occurrence gave rise to a report which created some excite - meut at Alexandria—that the man had the yellow fever. A post mortem examination of the body of the man. however, developed the fact that he Lad burst a blood vessel in the region of the heart, which was, of course, the cause of his death Arrived at Riley's wharf, steamer Columbia, from Baltimore, with merchandise for city deal- ers Tue Sewine Macuixe.—The Washington agent for Watson’s ten-dollar sewing machines has established himself, for the time being, at Boteler’s house-furnishing store on the north side of Penasyivania avenue, between Ninth and ‘Tenth streets, where all who desire to witness bow the machine works and to test its work may have an Gg ghee of so doing.

The attempt | way to: Washington, pbc’ es 31 pay the Orange it passengers. brought to Alexandria by Railroad, W.H De. Wright, Bsq., of Baltimore, requested Mr. Hugh: to have the baggage of himself and several ti- more traveling companions picked out of the pile and placed by itself, qos trouble at the termi- nus, as the boat was foo late to 2 connection with the Washington & Baltimore Branch Rail- road. Mr. Latham made some reply which was considered ne! Mr. Wright to be insulting, im- lying that the latter was no gentleman. Mr. Ww Who is upwards of 60 years of age, said ‘Do "intend to say that I am no gentlernan ?’? or, “Do not say I am no gentleman,” and at the same made a movement towards Mr. Latham. Mr. 1, asked Mr. a roan om bes pier ee imme- iatel’ to of is coat, wi act was Satergroted by Mr. Wright and others as an indi- cation of an intention to assault Mr. W. Dr. 1. P. Thom, a traveling companion of Mr. Wright, who was sitting or standing upon a pile of nee engaged in pointing out the trunks of the ‘timoreans, jumped to the deck, and at a single blow knocked Mr. Latham down. A grap- le then ensued between them, and just at thi juncture three of Mr. Latham’s omnibus drive: caught Dr. Thom by his whiskers and hair of bis head and forced bim into a stooping position and began to kick him in the bead face. Mr. Latham called to the engineer of the boat who was in his room near by, for a hammer with which to kill Dr. Thom. © The engineer declined. to tarnish the weapon called for by Mr. L., when Mr. L. seized hold of a piece of oak rlank two inches in thickness, ten or twelve inches wide, and nearly two feet in length, and struck Dr. ‘Thom over the head with it, while he was in the position before mentioned. This occurred in the starboard gangway of the boat, near the pile of baggage, or between the pile of baggage and the cabin partition, with scarce room for two persons to stand abreast. While this was in progress, another person in the em- sloy of Mr. Latham seized Mr. Wright, threw him on the deck, opposite the pile o! baggage, ntwisle, the en- near the engineer’s room. Mr. gineer, seeing the inan holding Mr. Wright by the throat, and in the act of striking him with his fist as he lay prostrate on the deck, jumped from bjs position at the engine and interfered in time to avert barotget pd brsgiad This done, Mr. E. pen overthe pile of baggage, and seized Mr. Latham by the arm, as he aera ut repeat- ing the blows upon the head of Dr. Thom, saying, * For God’s sake, Latham, don’t kill the man!) Mr. Lathem made reply that he would kill him, and any person who attempted to interfere to pre- veathim. At this juncture, the pilot struck the signal to back the boat, as she was approaching the ne of the dock. Mr. E. was compelled to leave the parties in this position to attend to his duties. None of the officers of the boat, with the ex- ception of Mr. Entwisle, were aware of what was os Pe on until the boat was going in the slip. Sapein Price, in coming from the upper deck, first received intimation of the occurrences by the chambermaid, who ran up to him, crying out, ‘aptain, there is a man in the cabin bleeding to da thi Mr. Latham was then standing at the forward gangway with a heavy iron 8 wrench in his hand, which Captain Price supposed he had been using about the wheels of some of his coaches, Captain Price immediately proceeded to the cabin, and, returning again shortly, said to Mr. Latham, *Muchey, this must be stopped, I must and will pretect my passengers, at all haz- ards, while coat are on my boat. appeared to be spol | under great excitement, replied that he wonld kill Dr. Thom, if he at- tempted to pass off the boat. Capt. P. answered that he could not do it on the boat, neither would he permit him to interfere with the egress of the passengers; Le took Mr. Latham, in a persuasive manner, by the arm, and led him to the ganuway of the slip. Here his authority over him ceased, and here Mr. Latham remained for a considerable space of time with tke iron wrench in bis hand, and re- peating his threat to kill Dr. Thom if he left the t . notwithstanding the many persuasions of his friends to come away and permit the passen- ers to leave the boat. In the meantime, Mr. Wright and Dr. Thom remained in the cab’ the latter gentleman being almost senseless mn the effect of the blows which had been inflicted upon his Lead, and bleeding profusely. It was judged advisable by themselves and friends to return to Alexandria instead of landing at the wharf. which they did. Mr. Latham retarned to Alexandria by land, and Messrs. Wright and Thom by the boat, where surgical assistance beiug procured, Dr. Thom’s wounds were pro- nounced to be too serious to permit of his being removed to Washington that night. Mr. Wright however, came up to Washington by land am met his family at Browns’ Hotel, whither they had gone. Great excitement prevailed in Alexandria, and hundreds of persons collected about the hotel, to discuss the subject; while in Washington the ex- citement at the wharves and Browns’ Hotel wax not much less. A party of Baltimoreans about the hotel, on learning of the affair, armed them- selves and were about to proceed to the boat to resent upon the officers and crew of the boat the outrage on their fellow-citizens, being under the impression that those concerned in the affray were the men belonging tothe boat. ‘This impression, lewever, was removed, and nothing further was done by them. Dr. Thom returned to Washington early on yesterday wep hee and proceeded with Mr. Ww and family to Baltimore. His injuries ed to be of a very serious character, and ms are felt that the blows about his ad have impaired his reason to some extent. 3 to be hoped that such is not the fact. {n the absence of the parties it is probable that no legal investigation will be had of the occar- rence, but the Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company, with whom Mr. L. is connected as a sub-contractor for the transportation of the mails and passengers from one depot to the other, have determined to give the matter a strict investiga- on, to remove any impression that they or any person in their immediate craploy in any way Eceeee in the affair. In tue meantime Mr. atham has been suspended until after the inves- tigation shall have takeu place. Ve have the above particulars from eye-wit- nesses of the occurrence, and they are partially contivrmed by persons in Mr. Latham’s employ. MR. LATHAM’S ACCOUNT OF THE FRACAS. Below will be found a letter, received this mornicg from Mr. Hagh Latham of Alexandria, in explanation of the unfortunate fracas, which $s the subject of the foregoing report. We publish it, beeanse it is due to justice, in all such cases of mixed rows, that public opinion should be sus- pended watil a thorough investigation can be had. Ou his arrival in Alexandria yesterday after- noon, the President of the Railroad Company, John S. Barbour, Esq., suspended Mr. L. from the discharge of his functions in connection with the transportation of the passengers between the Washington and Alexandria depot,and forthwith commenced the necessary investigation, which we know will be energetically ard impartially, and, so far as the travelling public are concerned, satisfactorily carried ont tothe end; for in his hands, that work is in thorough and unflinching hands. W. D. Wallach, Esqy.—Presuming there will be an incorrect aecount published of an unfortn- nate and much to be mequstied affairthet occurred on the steamer George Paye last Saturday after- noon, I ask a small space in the Star for the pur- pose of making a plain, and as I believe, correct statement. -Whilst | was unchecking aud mark- iag the Laggage a gentleman approached me and. commenced abusing the Railroad Company and all connected with it. As a part of his abuse was evidently aimed at me, I replied; which led toa rambling fire of words. Perceiving that he was getting excited, I calmly requested him to leave me so that I could attend to my business. | immediately stooped down and continued wi my work, when he advanced on me, using aln- sive and blasphemous languaye. I retorted with the same language, still urging him to leave me. By this time he was uncomfortably close, and 1 stood on the defensive. Just at this time another gentleman, Dr. Thom, appeaced, and about the time I was aware of his prese struck meand knocked me against the wagon. I recovered and he knock me again. Atthis time some person on my left re- ceived a pass from him (Dr. Thom,) and as he recovered 1 dealt him a blow in the face and caught him by the whiskers, and threw him backwards, near the other wagon horses. As be was falling a gentleman caught him and pushed bimup. J assisiing with my hand on his whis- kers. All this happened on the trunks, standing on their ends. After he recovered, he pressed me back until [ fell off the trunks to the deck; he on top of me. At this time some persons took bim of and I regained my feet, took a piece of oak plank about Ib fuches long, 10 in width, and 2 thiek, aud struck him (not bard) on the head, afler which I kicked Lim (wo or three times. Dr. Thom isa Jarge, athletic man, weighing about two hundred pounds. ‘The geutleman who so wantonly and nnnecssarily provoked the atfray is full six feet, aud weighs about one hundred and sixty pounds. My weight is about one hundred and thirty pounds. After Dr. Thom went fntothe cabin my wounded feelings rea: and J said and did Sincerely regret.

She gave Rotice immediately to the proprietor, and related circumstances of recent occurrence which led them to suspect that a servant, J.M. Brady, knew something relative to the larceny. He (Brady) was arrested and an officer sent for, who had him committed to jail for a further investigation. Finatty Comanttep.—On Saturday, Justice Hollingshead finished the investigation of the case of Jos. Ward, arrested by officer Watson for mayhem, cutting out the e r, ina fight Sanday ahi eee Methodist Episcopal Asbury Chapel. The Jus- tice concluded that the testimony was sufficient to justify the commitment of Ward for court. Woman’s Love.—Saturday evening, Thomas Toland was arrested by officer Watson, on the charge of attempting to shoot his wife, thecharge being made by his neighbor. At the hearing, before Justice Donn, the wife declared that he didn‘t shoot at her or offer her an violence, and that if he did it served her right. Toland was accordingly discharged for want of proof. CavTton.—Persons who go to the markets to purchase cows, horses, &c., should know who they deal with. On Saturday a respectable citi- zen purchased a cow at the Centre Market for $20, and after having it in jon for a short while, another respectable citizen claimed her. ‘The purchaser had to give up the cow, and is now on tht look out for his $20." : Tue CompLiMeNTaRyY Benerit to Mr. Frank Bangs was largely attended, and went off cap- itally, on Saturday night: Among othersuccessful ‘rformances, the Ethiopian delineations by Mr. arry Marshall were astonishingly well done. Mr. Fake is, we believe, abont to proceed to Boston to fulfil a professional engagement. DRIVING oN THE FooTwaLxs.—On Saturday, Peter O'Day was arrested for violating the Cor- poration law by driving over a foot pavement. In consideration of the fact that Peter is an em- loye of the Corporation, and should have known bet! f, Justice Smith fined him $2 and costs. Sometuinc New.—On Tuesday and Wednes- dap evenings of this week, at least, the Wash- ington public is to be relieved from the prevail- ing monotony by the entertainments of the Chi- nese jugglers.
