LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ‘Tux Oniotnan Pras of Wasutxeton Cit. In the extensive and curious collection of Col. Force, isa file of the old ‘‘ Gazette of the United States,’’ published in Philadelphia, and through his kindness we are enabled to give the following artiele of interest in relation to the early history of the city. It is from the Gazette of Jan. 4, 1792: New City of Washington. The following description is annexed to the n of the City of Washington, in the District of jumbia, as sent to Congress by the President some days ago: Plan of the city intended for the permanent seat of the Government of the United States, pro- jected agreeably to the direction of the Presi- dent of the United States, in pursuance of an Act of Congress passed on the loth of July, 1790, ‘‘establishing the permanent seat on the banks of the Potowmack.” By Peter Charles L’En- fant. Observations Explanatory of the Pian 1. The positions of the difterent grand edifices, and for the several grand squares or areas of dif. ferent shapes as they are laid down, were first de- termined on the most advantageous ground, com- manding the most exteusive prospects, and the Detter susceptible of such improvements as the various interests of the several objects may re- ire. Ti. Lince or avenues of direct communication have been devised to connect the separate and most distant objects with the principals, and to preserve thronghout the whole a iy, ae of nm paid sight at the same time. Attention has to the passing of those leading avenues over the most favorable ground for prospect and conveni- ence. 111. North and south lines intersected by others running due east and west, make the distribution of the city into streets, squares, &c., and those limes have been so combined as to meet at certain given points with those diverging avenues so as to form on the spaces ‘+ first determined”? the dif- ferent squares or areas, which all proportioned in magnitude to the number of avenues leading to em. Breadth of the Streets. Every grand transverse avenue, and everysprin- cipal divergent one—sach as the communication from the President’s house to the Congress house, &c., are 160 feet in breadth, and thus divided : Feet. 10 feet for pavement on each side is..........20 30“ of gravel walk, planted with trees on 50 “ in the middle for carriage. 160 The other streets are of the following dimen sions, viz: Those leading to the public buildings or mar- kets. 130 . 1-90 icott In order to execute the above plan, Mr. drew a true meridian line by celestial observa- tion, which passes through the area intended for the Congress house; this line he crossed by ano- ther due east and west, and which passes through the samearea. These lines were accurately mea- sured and made the basis on which the whole plan wasexecuted. He ran all the lines by transit instrument, and determined the acute an- a by actual measurement, and left nothing to uncertainty of the compass. References. A. Theequestrian fivure of George bers ton, anionument voted in 1753 by the late Conti- nental Congress. B. An historic column—also intended for a mile or itinerary column, from whose station (at a mile from the Federal house) all distances and places through the Continent are to be calculated. C.

L. Around this square, and aiong the M. Avenue from the two bridges to the Federal Honse. the pavements on each side will pass under an arched way, under whose cover shops will be most conveniently and agreeably situated; this street is 106 feet in breadth and a mile long. ‘The fifteen squares colored yellow are proposed to be divided among the several States of the Union, for each of them to improve, or subscribe @ sum additional to the value of the land for that urpose, and the improvements round the squares ‘0 be completed iu a limited time The centre of each square will admit of statues, columns. obelisks, or any other ornaments, such as the different States may choose to erect, to per- petuate not only the memory of such individaals whose councils or military achievements were conspicuous in civing liberty aud independence to this country, bet those whose nsefuiness hath Tendered them worthy of imitation, to invite the youth of sx ing generations to tread in the paths of those sages or heroes whom their coun- Uy have thought proper to celebrate. ‘The situation of those are is such that they are the most advantageously seen fiom each other, and as equally distribu over the whole city district, and connected by spacious avenues round the grand Federal improvements, and ax contign- ous fo them, and at the same time as equally dis- tant from each other as circumstances would ad- mit. The settlements round these squares must soon become connected. The mode of taking possession of and improv- ing the whoie District at first. must leave to pos- terity a grand idea of the patriotic interest which womoted it. The small spaces colored are intended for the use of all religious denomina’ s,0n which they are toerect places of worship, and are proposed to be allotted to them in the manner as those col- ored yellow are to the different States in the Union; but no burying ground will be admitted within the limits of the city, an appropziation, being intended for that purpose without N.

W ould it not be creditable foreach of the States now to carry out the plan then suggested? The old States ‘might with Propriety take up the matter and erect monuments in memory of their sages and heroes at the seat of that Government which, by their exertions in the council and the field they aided to establish. The plan was presented to Congress a few days previous, as shown by the extract given below f om the proceedings: House of Representatives—Tuesday, Dec. 13,1791. A message, in writing, was received from the President of the United States, by Mr. Lear, his secretary, as followeth: i Usttrep Stars, December 13, 1791.

Wasuinctoy. Tux River —At the Long bridge, yesterday afternoon, several people returning from the races were stopped by the police for driving over the bridge faster than the law allows. A large schooner, from Port Deposit passed uj to the month of the canal eaterday evening. . Arrived at Riley’s wharf, schr. F. B. Florence, Capt. Noyes, from Philadelphia, with 112 tons coal for Riley. ‘The down-river steamers this morning obliged to run exceeding! into the various craft in the river, in consequence of the dense fog which prevailed. The ‘Mount Vernon” started on her first trip C= retitting) to-day to Aquia Creek, and the ltimore goes on the night line this evening in Place of the Powhatan. The excursion of the Columbia Fire Company ‘was &@ most successful and pleasant one. The ex- cursionists arrived at Leonardtown at half-past four o’clock, Monday afternoon, and on landing scattered about town, visiting the various places of interest. In the evening t! ey met at the Court House, where an ps poche and witty speech was made by F. McNerhany, Esq., Naval Store- keeper, and then the vocal and instrumental con- cert was given to the Leonardtowners, the pro- ceeds of which amounted to 850). After the concert the company proceeded to the fine hall of Mr. Moore, where they gave a grand ball, which was fully attended, and passed off pleasantly, and to the entire satisfaction of all present. The ball broke up in the small hours, just before day- break, and the band then proceeded to the house of Col. Blakistone and treated him to anexcellent serenade. He evinced his gratification by ten- dering to the visitors a handsome collation, which Was partaken of, and the various eatables and drinkables suffered accordingly. The party left the wharf on their return atS¥ a. m. on yester- day morning and arrived here at 5 p.m. On board the boat the enjoyment was universal, and the excursionists all were gratified with their trip. The proceeds of the excursion, ball, and concert, over and above the expenses, was some $150, which will be appropriated by the Columbia boys to the erection of a monument to the memory of young Greenup. ‘The Powhatan, on her way up this morning, passed off boil id Point a hermaphrodite brig and eight coasting vessels, all upward bound. At Alexandria arrived yesterday ten river craft, bringing general cargoes of grain; also, two coal vessels and two canal boats. Mr. Hunter, who lately repaired the steamer Collyer at Alexandria, has been summoned to Baltimore, to see the inspectors in relation to fur- ther necessary repairs upon her. Judge Bryan yesterday tendered his resigna- tion a» President of the Steamboat Company, and Richard Wallach, Esq., was unanimously elect- ed in his place. A THeatTeE ror Wasninctox.—Mr. Editor: The question is often asked nowadays by stran- gers visiting Washington why we have no thea- tre; but it is never satisfactorily answered. It is certainly very singular that the capitol city of a country which has made rapid progress in the fine arts, and which has produced men of the highest order of talent as musicians, painters, sculptors, &c.. should not have a single theatre, much less an opera house, or a building devoted to the exhibition of paintings; however, | under- stand that thix last desideratum is likely to be supplied ere long Ten years ago there was some apology for such a state of things, and yet a better one existed, as we bad the National and Adelphi theatres; while at different periods before that time Carnsi’s Saloon and the Assembly Rooms were temples of the drama. Now, however, when Washington has increased so much in population, and when there is more wealth among her citizens, we have nothing of the kind. Apropos of this, 1 would remark that the change is not from any improve- ment in the city morals, as old inhabitants of the lace will bear me out in saying; but it Proceeds rom other causes. I hope not from a want of ap- preciation of the drama. ‘This winter, doubtless. we shall have the tal- ented cantatrice, Miss Juliana May, with us; but should she desire to Pepper in opera in her native city, and a pre y an opera troupe, there would be no building suitable for their perform- ances And yet a theatre of the proper dimen- sions for Washington, which I imagine would be of about the size of Burton’s, in New York, (not an immense barn like the old National, nora chicken-coop like the Adelphi,) could be erected at moderate expense, somewhere upon or near the Avenue. Indeed, it is not even necessary to do this, as sem: ofthe buildings which we alread: have might easily be altered to suit theatrical urposes, the one called the Assembly Rooms for instance, which was erected for a theatre, and the location of which is tolerably good, would answer very well, if the two stories were thrown into one, as was the case originally. F were slow to avoid running Mititary.—It is the intention, as we have already stated, of the National Grays, second company of the regiment of volunteers, as at pres- ent organized, to change their uniform, but the organization will remain as before. This corps is next In age to the Washington Light Infantry, and when first organized was commanded hy Capt. Doughty, and was called the Washington City Guard, and the uniform was very costly and besutiful. The corps was afterwards named the Natioual Blues, and was commanded by Capt. L. J. Middleton, then by Capt. F. A. Tucker, next by Capt. P. F. Bacon During the latter’s term the uuiform was changed, and the corps named the National Grays. Capt. Bacon resigned, and the command was given to Capt. L Towers, the present commander. The corps expects to make their next parade with increased ranks and in thelr new uniform. Ovum FRIENDS residing on the Island in the re- gion of Twelfth street, complain of the way the west side of that street is appropriated by the drivers of fast horses, and coal carts, instead of the paved street, which is the proper driving ground. They firmly believe that the west foot- way from the canal along the public square, was constructed for the use of foot sengers, and they cannot understand why it has become the common property of the drivers of the aforesaid horses and carts. Yesterday evening the stream of carriages which went racing down the foot- way thereabouts, caused no Little consternation to several females, who were obliged to take the middle of the street to avoid being run over. ‘The complatnants ask us to call the attention of the police to these facts, and axk them to see that the quiet passengers, who cannot afford horses as 4 means of locomotion, have the privilege of en- Joying their walks with less peril. Tue Fiaemen —There appears to be a general refitting of the apparatus belonging to the Wash- ington Fire Department. We have already men- tioned the repairs and iinprovements made to the roperty of four companies—Franklin, Columbia, Northern Liberties and Perseverance. ‘To these we may now add the improvements made to the ere us of tbe Western Hose, one of the most active and efficient companies of the department. ‘The reel is being repainted in a splendid manner by Hook, and the platin; by W.

H. Pendleton, last night, pee enerepeenrere neem ee Tux Tuny.—The first race over the new course at Jackson City came off yesterday afternoon in the presence of an immense throng of spectators. ‘The crowd began to assemble soon after 120’clock, m™., and the stream of carriages and foot passen- gers over the B ‘was continuous and — up to 4 o'clock, p. m. course was heavy from recent laying down but well suited otherwise to the wants of the Sporting public, though rather too narrow for more than three horses in carriages. The spec- tators, on arriving at the grounds, mostly settled themselves around the judges’ stand, from which, ona line stretched across over the track to the 8] ‘or’s stand, was suspended two silvercups, tl izes to be conte: for. The coutestants for the first cups entered by J. Cook; Winzer, by H. Birch; and bay colt Fanny, by J. Price, of Alexandria. At half-past three o'clock, the horses came on the ground, their blankets were thrown off, and they Were trotted up and down the track by stable boys, while Hag bee were busily engaged in their stand in drawing lots for position of the horses on the track. The result of the drawing hs the Winzer colt the inside trvck, the bay ‘anny the next, and Buffalo the outside. The first effort at a start failed on account of Buffalo, who behaved somewhat obstreperously. The second trial was similar to the first, except that the colt Fanny would not wait for the word to yo, but insisted on disregarding all rules of cing propriety, and forward several lengths ahead. "Her driver brought her up; and, the third effort proving more successful, the start ‘was made amid the cries of the crowd, to ‘+ Stop, go, go on, stop,” &c. The sace was mile heats, and the best in three to pull down the cup. The horses were off, Fanny taking the lead, and Buf- falo close bebind her, while W inzer came close on Buffalo. Bufialo soon broke up, and Winzer Passed him, flying. and bore bard on Fanny, who continued to stick to ber pace, without evincing the slightest disposition to break. Winzer and Buffalo broke frequently on the out-stretch, and could not be got down until Fanny had passed over the first half mile, and was turning into the home stretch; then both Wiuzer and Buffalo came well up to the scratch, doing their best to recover the ground they had lost; but it was too fate, and Fanny came it the stand, furiously fast, some forty yards in advance of Winzer, and leaving Butfalo—who had got into a hard gallop soon after striking the bhome-stretch—some eighty rds in the rear. abe judges gave the heat to ‘anny—time, 3 minutes 6 seconds. The second heat the horses all got a fair start, and were near neighbors during the first half of the heat, but Fanny led otf beanttfull ', and bets on ber were frequent and heavy; she seemed from this moment to be the favorite, and she kept per pace steadily, never breaking up once, while Buffalo, who is very hard to beat when he can be kept down to his work, was breaking frequently, and was again on the home stretch by Winzer, who came up pretty close on Fanny. The second heat was finished up in three minutes and nine seconds, Fanny bei: the winner by about the same distance as on the previous heat. The judges awarded the first prize to Panny, making the two heats in seven minutes and te. teen seconds. Itis impossible to judge of the qualities of a horse over such a road as the new track, as all three of the horses entered would have made, on any well-beaten track, much better time. The second race was made in road wagons, two mile heats and repeat. ‘The horses entered were Old Buck, entered by Geo. Smith; Butfalo by Allen Dorsey; Sea Breeze by J. Cook; and Henry by W_E. Cleaver. he judges drew for position, and Sea Breeze got the inside, Henry second, Buffalo third, and Old Buck fourth. ‘The horses were in better training, and the drivers had more control over them than during the first race. They were called up and came past the track in good condition, Buffalo about one length behind. but reaching out well, and several heavy bets were made upon him.’ The horses, for the first quarter of a mile kept well together, Sea Breeze taking the lead, and Old Buck pushing him hard, while Henry and Buffa- lo were well up in the rear. Soon, however, the two latter hoises broke, Buffalo behaving very badly, and giving his driver considerable trouble. Henty was manayzed more easily, being broug bt down soon, but hot until Sea Breeze and Old Buck were past the first half, with Sea Breeze still leading. The contest for the first mile was now between the last two horses, and it was de- cided in favor of Sea Breeze, who never broke her pace, while Old Buck on the home stretch Went off again and could not be brought down to his work until Sea Breeze was past the stand. The first mile was done by Sea Breeze in 3:15 and the second mile was pretty much the same thing, Sea Breeze keeping the lead and making the round in 3:11. ‘The first heat was given to Sea Breeze—time 6:59. After some twenty minutes the horses were called up for the second heat. ‘The start was a very tine one, Sea Breeze leading off again, with Old Buck nearly up with him ; Henry and Buttalo falling back soon after the first quarter was passed, whic! Bana they held for the remainder of the heat. Baffalo broke up again, as usual, and Hen- ry went by him before the home stretch was reached. Sea Breeze and Old Buck reached the home stretch together, but Old Buck soun after broke badly, and Sea Breeze came past the stand some forty yards in advance, and made the heat in 6:49 Sea Breeze received the cup amid the loud ap- Plause of the crowd, and the race was over. Con- siderable money exchanged hands during the af- ternoon. After the crowd had partly dispersed a small race was run by a well known butter merchant of Washington, assisted by a certain newspaper re- porter, aud a Pennsylvania Dutchman. ‘Tie pat- Ges started very fair in a heavy carryall—weiyht of carriage and the three drivers 750 lbs. The mile was made in nineteen minutes and three seconds, Old Pennsylvania never breaking his fast walk during the drive, notwithstanding the application of sundry frequent and well bestowed cuts with a crooked bean pole from an adjoining corn-field, and sundry deep and earnest anathemas applied to his carcase generally. were Buffalo, Wasnincton Insunaxce Company. — The stockholders of this Company, on Monday last, manifested their confidence in the management of its affairs by re-electing all the members of the old Board of Directors. The President and Sec- retary were also re-elected at the meeting of the Board the next day. Congress, in granting a charter to this compa- ny, introduced in it a clause making the private fortunes of the stockholders liable for all debrs that should be created by the Corporation. ‘The operation of this is to add immensely to the se- curity of those holding their policies, as the stockholders number among tnem some of oar most successful and wealthy merchants, mechan- ies, and others.
