LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, Tatat or Da. JauzeP. Donwwetty, cwancxd with Mvavza.—The subjoined letter, giving the initial proceedings in the trial of Jas. P. Don- nelly, late of this city, on charge of murder, will be read with interest. It will be remembered that on the morning of the Ist of August, the bar-keeper of the Sea View House, Nevasink, N.J., named Albert S. Moses ‘was heard crying murder, and was found in his bed with his throat cut and bleeding profusely. He died soon after, but previously stated that James P. Donnelly—then acting as book-keeper of the house—had killed him; that daring the night they had been gambling together; that the deceased had won money of Donnelly, dnd that the assassination was the result of a desperate resolation on the part of Donnelly to recover the money. It was, however, contended by the friends of Donnelly that the blows inflicted were not such as would have been delivered by one ac- quainted with surgery, as Donnelly was, and the direct accusation made by Moses was accounted for by supposing that he was greatly excited and seeing Donnelly first after receiving the wounds accused him. It was also claimed that the man might have committed suicide while temporarily deranged. and that under hallucination he attrib- uted the deed to Donnelly : FREEHOLD, Monmouth Co.,N.J., August 4th, 1557. Editor of the Star :—Having no doubt that the many friends of ** Doc,”’ J. P. Donnelly, of Wash- ington, D. C., whois about to be tried for murder, are anxious to know how he conducts himself under the trying and desperate circumstances in which he is placed, I take the liberty of sending the first day’s proceedings in his trial. The September teria of Monmouth court com- menced on Tuesday, Judge Vudenburgh presi- ding, assisted by Judges Thockmorton, Fourm and Gifford. On Thursday, the court room was crowded with people from all parts of the State and Union, at- tracted by sympathy for the accused, and to Witness one of the greatest trials that has ever taken place in this State. The clerk calls “order ;”’ all eyes are on one doos ; it opens, and @ young man arrayed in deep black enters the room ; he is accompanied by the sheriff and dep- uty; he walked with unfaltering steps to the bar of the court. Having reached the bar, he stops and bows tothe dignitaries of the court. ‘That bow could not be imitated; it was dignified and expressive, as much as to say, ‘I am here, judge me as I am, not as they make me.” The indictment having been read by Joel Par- ker, the District Attorney—whose trembling was noticed by all—Mr. Donnelly was required to lead to the question—Guilty or not guiliy? Rais- a bimself to his fall height and throwing back his head, he said: | am not guilty, sir! < Having been asked if he was ready for trial, he responded in a clear, decided, and unhesitating tone. as follows : **May it please the honorable court, | cannot state definitely this morning when I shall be rea- dy for my trial. | am here a stranger, ina strange community, far from my home, my relatives, and my friends; and it is my wish and desire to have them here. There are many of them travelling through the different States,"and from whom | have not yet heard; and it is highly necessary, in ustice to them and myseif, that I should hear trom the I know that the honorable gentlemen do not desire me to disclose my defence; and | would not ak for the delay were it not necessary. I crave for nothing, I demand justice. I have not yetseen a portion of my counsel; and it is also important for me that I should have an interview with them before | can givea definite answer as to when I shail be ready for trial. | am more anx- ious, than any one here, that my trial should be proceeded with as soon as sible. I wish to be returned to the bosom of my family, and to be freed from the caprices of that which seems so mysteriously to haunt me. | ask fora stay in the proceedings, and | will give the Court a definite answer to-morrow morning.” - His counsel, Hon. Amazi C. McJ.ean, said that im it witnesses were absent—that others had been sent out of the State, and that every thing has been done to injure Mr. Donnelly’s cause that could be—yet, notwithstanding all this, Mr. Don- nelly was more anxious for his trial than any one in that room, but it would be unjust to the pris- ner to proceed at once. The prosecutor, Joel Parker, said: ‘‘It is a delicate thing to press such a matter; but it is better, both for the prisoner and the State, that such cases should be determined as soon as pos- sible after the transpiration of the event.” Judge—‘‘The prisoner shall have until 10 o'clock, a. m., to-morrow, to make answer when be shall be ready for trial. The case must pro- ceed this term. At that time the court will de- termine the day, unless the defendant fixes his own time, and it is acceptable to the court.”” Mr. Donnelly bowed again; and, turning left the room ‘ Friday morning the court room was, if possible, even more densely crowded than the day vious—it having been whispered abroad that Donnelly would again appear and address the Court. He entered precisely at 10 o’clock, and informed the Court, tough ‘is counsel, that he could answer the Court’s question definitely. Tuesday, Sept. 15, 10 a. m., was fixed as the day of trial jowing, he left the Court. Young Donnelly appears pale and careworn, but con- ducted himself with firmness and dignity daring the reading of the indictment and the subsequent roceedings—appearing an earnest listener. We ve met him in many different positions before. but never did he appear to such advantage as when addressing the Court. His deportment was gentlemanly—marked, but not studied—unmis- takably indicating by his manner and style of speaking that he SES a tior education, and that he bas traveled with advantaze. His counsel are the Hon. A. C. M. Pennington, Hon. J. P. Brad!y, Hon A.C. McLean, and t others. Counsel for the State, Hon. W. LT ton, Attorney General of this State, and Joel Parker, State's Attorney. ‘The great legal learaing engaged in this trial, the past character and high standing of the ac- cused, and the peeuliar features of the murder, are circumstances that tend to draw an iinmense crowd to this place. After Donnelly had left the court room we vis- ited the jail. We found Donnelly engaged in an earnest conversation with some friends. He ap- rs most cheerful, and we heard him say, ** When I am in that court room I feel more like myself—lI fear nothing—al! rests with God.’ His cell is well and comfortably furnished, and his meals are procured from the hotel. He uses no stimulants, and sleeps—to use the jailor’s term— ** like a top.” There were but few dry eyes when be was ad- dressing the court, and, though the details of the bloody atfair are still fresh in the minds of the ‘ople, be is rapidly gaining their sympathies fie hard to believe that he committed the mur- der—i never will. [If he did. it most assurediy was not with malice aforeth; t. We trust soon again to see his nimble tread on the avenue, and meet bim in his old familia: haun'sin Wash- ington. he hotels are all crowded by persons from Long Branch, Cape May, and other parts—all congregated to witness the trial.

Page was compelled to omit her regular 6 o'clock trip to Alexandria, for fear of running aground. ‘The passengers and mails went down by land. The commission which visited Baltimore to obtain from the inspectors permission to run the Collyer two months longer before further repairs sbould be done on her, have failed in their mis- sion. ‘The inspectors would not pass an order for her to resume the trips, saying that they had in- spected her thoroughly, and she was not in a con- dition to ran, by reason of the rottenness of some of her timbers.” She has be-n hauled up cn Hun- ter’s ways at Alexandria, where she will be tho- roughly overhauled and put in good condition. 1t is supposed that it will require some two months time to repair her.

[coMMUNicaTED. A THeatre ror WasHIncton.—Mr. Editor: A writer in the Star, over the signature of “F,”’ says: ‘The question is often asked now-a-days, by strangers visiting Washington, Why we have no Theatre? but it is never satisfactorily answer- ed.” Now, this question was, I think, fully an- swered by a writer in Burton’s Gentleman’s Mag- azine, no longer ago than the year 1538. As it is 4s applicable now as then I will transcribe a few extracts : «This man, albeit a lover of the drama, ‘prop- erly conducted’ cannot endure to see a play ‘mur- dered’ by the introduction of one second or third sate actor into a subordinate part; and that man swears it would all be very well, if the Theatre could only be better warmed, or was nearer the centre of the town, or had a better orchestra, ora handsomer drop curtain, or a more talented com- pany, or this, that, or the other.’ ‘The truth is, that Hamlet the Dane, hitit pre- cisely when he advised his father’s lord cham- berlain to use these ‘abstract and brief chroniclers of the times much better’ than their deserts. For that struck him, and strikes us, moreover, as the very way to make their deserving even greater, where it may be, and never less where it is, not.” «+The expense of supporting the stock estab- lishment of the National ‘Theatre, is upwards of $1,300 weekly, and a similar sum is constantly aid for stars for the same term. An expenditure ike this must convince you that the best returns leave the manager a very poor surplus, aud will serve to prove that such receipts as this evening must eventuate in his utter helplessness and rain If public opinion is iota to those professors who are to become the commentators on the works of the t, and living illustrations of his ideas, to public opinion I shall bow, and in jus+ tice to my company and myself, speedily remove from a scene of continued mortification and re- gret "—Manager Ward's Card, Dec. 10, 1835. * People come to Washingtoneither to advance their own political, party, or personal ends, and they have neither time nor inclination—neither freedom of mind, nor freedom from occupation sufficient to enable them to spend their evenincs atthe Theatre. At least, they think so, which is the same thing.’? To conclude this already too lengthy commu- nication, we will state the “lamentable fact” that there is a sad lack of information concerning the legitimate drama among our fellow-citizens which precludes the possibility of a successful season during the ‘short session” of Conzress, and as a mass we are too prone to the sensual to accord a fitting support to the intellectual enjoy- ments of life. The time is far distant when the drama will et oe by us. Theactor who stoops to ‘split the ears ef groundlings” may ‘draw’? for a time, but even they will weary of the rant, and such perversions as ‘Jack Shep- pard” and a “Glance at Baltimore’? can on y serve for “the manager’s last kick.” D.

A Pratsewortny Act.—Yesterday afternoon, two small children were riding in a buggy on Fourth street, the older of the two driving. The horse got frightened and ran off with them ata furious gait. Near the corner of G and Fourth streets, the older one was thrown out and some- what injured. The frightened horse rushed on,and when near H street acolored cartman jumped from is cart and tried to stop the horse, but being unable, he, by a desperate effort, reached the child, and rescued it fromthe buggy. We would gladly chronicle the name of this cartman who risked bis life so heroically, but were unable to ascertain it.
