WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY......-----....April 21, 1853. Nortick To MEMBERS oF CoxncREss.—Members of Congress can have their speeches printed with neatness and dispatch, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-page speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. {0~ The German working men of New York have had the good sense to denounce the Orsini and Pierricelebration in that city. [> The Peninsular News, published at Mil- ford, Del , comes out in a long editorial for the abolition of slavery in that State. SS Sa {> The last New York murder was that of Rose K: Liey, who was stabbed and killed by her husband, John Kelley, who was arrested, and thinks the youngest of her five children does not belong to him. Mount Veaxon.—The Alexandria Gazette’says that ‘‘the sale of Mount Vernon to the Ladies’ Mount Vernon Association has been made, and $18,000 of the purchase money paid in cash. Mr. Washington retains possession until a payment of $75,000 is made, which will, probably, take place in a few months.” Se See Toracco.—The receipts of the weed at our dif- ferent warehouses, says the Lynchburg Virgin- ian, for the past week, have been unusually large Indeed we do not remember to have ever noticed more ectivity in that branch of trade that seems to exist at present. A large proportion of the ar- ticle now in market consists of lugs and the more inferior grades i> Oa Sunday evening a young man named Newman walked into the Mission (Episcopal) Church in Brooklyn, and, after car: fully viewing the congregation, walked up toa yoany lady in the choir, whose name is Frances J. Bennett, and drawing a dagger made a desperate though un- suceessfal effort to plunge it in her breast. She screamed, and asa second effurt was being made by the fellow to carry out bis awful object, some gentlemen interfered and secured Lim.

Deap Letters, Boous Lorrsnies, &c.—The gullibility of the American people, notwith- standing their real and boasted intelligence, is truly amazing. Few days elapse without de- veloping some swindling scheme, which, after being successfully cargied on for weeks, ot per- haps for years, finally falls umder the ban of police agents, and is broken up. Generally, however, the guilty parties are suffered to go Seot free, to perpetrate their nefarious games under other titles elsewhere. No matter how crude and transparent these schemes may be, it seems that they all find willing dupes, through whose credulity and weakness their originators acquire a rich*harvest. Among these swindles may -be enumerated bogus lotteries, gift schemes, astrology, sorcery, palmody, and even every grade of fortune-telling, together with a host of other almost unimaginable methods of obtaining money under false pretences. Bogus lotteries, however, take the lead, so far as lucrative gain is concerned; and it is really fearful in a moral point of view, to know what multitudes of people are deceived by such swindles. Our readers will remember that the New York police recently ferretted out and broke up, in Norwich, Connecticut, no less than three firms who have been driving a thriv- ing trade in this description of business fer, heaven only knows how long atime. They all assumed business nom mes de plume, and each firm published and circulated gratuitously a large-sized paper filled principally with their own advertisements. Since their exposure by the police, the letters addressed to these parties have been returned to the writers, together with whatever they contain. The number of these reaches several thousand, and the money remittances enclosed make an aggregate of upwards of $20,000. The amount enclosed in each letter ranges from $1 all the way up to $60. We are also informed that num>rous letters, addressed to a fictitious firm in New York city in answer to an advertisement of medicine to prevent conception, have found their way into the Dead Letter office in consequence of the party addressed having been run off by the police. These also contain remittances, and betray an amount of degradation that is sick- ening to contemplate. Tue Orersa.—We have, since Saturday last, been without room in whick to notice the per- formance on that evening of the “Trovatore”’ ot Verdi, by the Maretzek Troupe. in the Wash- ington Theatre. The house was crowded with avery fashionable and appreciative audience— in fact, the most thoroughly accomplished mu- sieal audience we ever saw; for almost all Washingtonians known to us as persons of mu- sical accomplishment were present. From the rising of the green curtain to its fall, the per-, formance was a succession of triumphs, ac- knowledged by a series of }laudits growing each longer and louder than the last. Miss Ada Phillips as the gipsey queen took all by sur- prise, her acting being as perfect as her yocali- zation of the tender, and melancholy, yet in- tensely impassioned ro/r she sang. She carried off the palm, in that part. even from D’Angri, who had previously made it emphatically her own, here. Amodio. too, as di Luna, demon- strated his claim to be the first Count in * Tro- vatore’’ to whom America has so far listened. Brignoli, as Maurice.was called before the cur- tain, again, and again and again, amid such a storm of bravos as he elicits everywhere on ren- dering the music of that part. In truth it was a grand opera superbly performed. We hear that Manager Stuart made no money by the engagement of Maretzek’s Troupe; a circumstance to be regreted by all lovers of music and the drama among us, towards whom he has fulfilled his engagements, one and all, to the letter. He deserved to have filled his pock- ets brim full, for the enterprise, good judgment. fidelity and liberality with which he has catered for the amusement of the play-goers of the Fed- eral metropolis. —t A Question SerrLep.—Yesterday. Mr. Shaw (of North Carolina) delivered, in the House hall, one of the ablest speeches of the session. It was in reply to the speech of his colleague, Mr. Gil- mer, which drew around that gentleman, at iis conclusion, a crowd of Republican members. In the course of Mr. Shaw's remarks. Mr. Gid- dings took occasion to half deny the accuracy of our description of his share of the remarkable scene as described not long since by the Star, under the head of “ Kiss him, Giddings.”” No member with less ‘cheek’ (to use plain lan- guage) than Mr. Giddings possesses, would ven- ture on a denial of facts witnessed by the whule House. But Mr. Giddings does such things in that way, as all know, when to do so suits his political purposes. However, Mr. Shaw nuiled the occurrence upon Mr. Giddings past all fu. ture attempts to deny it here or in North Caro- lina, as will be perceived from the report of the day's proceedings, to be found in another col. umn of this issue of the Star. We are glad that he has done so; inasmuch as it was an incident that ricbly deserves to be incorporated in the history of American public affairs, to be read and reflected on throughout all future time. Tue Hos. Joun L. Rom son, oF INnDIana.— Wasn TON, April 16, 1858 Editor of the Evening Star: Will you altow me a smati space in your paper to notice a communication in the States of last evening, purporting to have been written at Greensburg, Indiana’ The concocter of the article is evidently both a knave and a fool—the former for the false state- ments he makes in reference to the meeting, which you will find thoroughly exposed by the following communication from three of the most respectable gentlemen, and long-tried Democrats, of Decatur county; the latter for his attempt to stander Mr. Robinson before the public men of the nation, who know him se well, but who never beard before, and never will avain, of bis peculiarly aide aud faithful representative. It seems that the art of coining falsehoods is one of the attendant virtues of anti-Lecomptonisin For instance, this writer throws out the Impression that kee peg was anti-Lecompton at the start, but_ in order to get the marshat’s posit he changed front. 4 si — Now, it is well known that Mr. Robinson pub- lished over bis own signature in this city, before the meeting of Congresx and before the Presi- dent delivered his *, an article or card taking position in favor of the admission of Kansas under the I.ecompton constitution. It is alxo well known that Mr. Robinson was then the Marshal of the State. Bat if the story were true it only shows the difference between Mc_R. and the present able and faithful rey resentative, who was nominated mainly through the influence of this same Robinson In regard to the foolish twaddle of the writer in reference to Mr. R losing his iufluence, u ularity, &e , it is the sheerest balderdash, destitute of trath else utterly Inpiana Democrat.

When Mr. Love finished his per- formance, James Gavin took the chair vrolwnta- rily. and a batch of resolutions were by the Black Republicans and their friends. Under the cireumstances of the case this con- duct is regarded as waqcotiomanly and without excuse by the honest thinking men of all parties. Had Mr. Gavin dared to insinuate that this course y Robinson sof this th inst eason of the was to be pursned, and after Dr. Mulien had finished, of said resolutions, they would have been overwhelmingly voted down.

Watson, Daviv Wattaceg, Sr. Tas Norta Pactric Navat Exprpitiox.— A few days since we noticed the reception by the Senate of a communication from the Secre- tary of the Navy, in answer to a resolution of inquiry as to the authority for publishing the report of a naval expedition in the North Pa- cific Ocean and China Sea, under comniand of Lieut. John Rogers, in the years 1853, "54, 55, and 56. The Secretary first informs the Sen- ate as to the amount of work done on that re- Port, and from his statement it appears that some half-dozen charts have been already en- graved, and as many others are in process of execution. He then proceeds to set forth the authority under which this work has been or- dered to be done, and quotes acts of Congress to show that in no single instance, not even in that department of the report touching nat- ural history, has he gone beyond what he was directed to do, by both the letter and spirit of the portions of the “‘aets’’ cited. . The great practical utility of this work is hardly alluded to by the Secretary, probably because he regarded it as palpable. Neither does he in anywise urge its publication. It would be somewhat singular were an expedi- tion like this to be fitted out at an enormous expense, and then, after its explorations are completed, all official accounts of its labors should be suffered to lie mouldering in manu- script in the Department. If any good is to be accomplished, it can only be by the publica- tion of the reports. they can iced upon s Tuk wast Recertion.—The reception last night at the White House, was, perhaps. the most brilliant one of the season, despite the fog, mud, and general disagreeablencss of the night; and had the weather been fair the pres- sure must have been unprecedented. Nearly all the Diplomatic Corps was present, Lord and Lady Napier, Barop Stgeckel and lady, Sir Wim. Gore Ousley, lady and daughter, See- retaries Cass, Cobb, ‘1 hompson, and Floyd, were pesent. Judges McLean and Catron repre- sented the Supreme Court; aud Gen. Jesup, Capt. Meigs, and other officers in uniform, the army. Judge Blackwood was present; and everbody was glad to see our popular late Mar- shal Hoover. The presentations to the President and Miss Lane were made by Marshal Sclden and Mr Commissioner Blake. and very busy were they kept in the performance of their duties until the last minute of the closing hour of the re- ception. The two houses of Congress were largely represented, and so was the city of Washington, as our people seemed to have determined, ‘‘ weather or no,”’ to improve this last opportunity of the season to pay their respects to Mr. Buchanan. Tue Kansas State Bite.—Contrary to our expectation no report from the Conference Com- mittee on the Kansas State bill was made after we went to press yesterday. Nevertheless, we know that its main features, as oxplained by us yesterday, have been agreed on, and do not anticipate that difference as to details can de- lay its rendition to the two Houses much longer. We hear that four or five Southern Demo- cratic members are said not yet to be satisfied with this settlement of the imbroglio un tke terms proposed ; but, knowing those gentlemen to be sincerely anxious only to discharge their whole duty in the premises to the country, already harassed beyond endurance with the vagaries of this interminable question, we see no reason to believe that—as the Republican party so ardently desire—they will separate themselves from the Democratic party on this overshadowing political issue of the times. Ax OLp WASaINGTONIAN Gone.—Up to yes- terday afternoon conflicting accounts led us to doubt whether the Lieut. Queen reported among the dead of the Susquehannah, was Lieut. and Brevet Major H. W. Queew, of the Marine Corps, or some other gentleman of the nameia the Navy. We have, however, ascertained that it is the gentleman mentioned above, a native of this city, and a member of a large family connection residing here and in neighboring counties of Maryland. We knew him from early manhood to his death, as one of the most intelligent, honorable, and efficient gentlemen our city has so far produced—a model as a sen, brother, husband and friend. Though but a Lieutenant in the line, his gallant and arduous services in the Mexican war won him a brevet majority in bis corps, wherein he was as much beloved by officers and men, as by all his many old friends in the District of Columbia. Tne Potwx Bitt.—The Senate’s bill for the establishment of a proper Government police here, was strangled in the House yesterday, after we went to press. It died of too much doctoring. Its demise took place under cir- cumstances assuring us that in due time a bill to the same end will become a law. Many of those voting to lay it on the table were evi- dently sincerely anxious to compass, in some way or other, the original design of the bill; the disagreement on their part being entirely concerning its details. We doubt not, they will eventually compromise their respective views so as to accomplizh the end in this connection they have in view. Coyrinwed.—We hear of the confirmation by the Senate yesterday, of the nomination of H. S. Fitch, Esq., attorney at law, of Chicago, to be the U.S. District Attorney for the north- ern district of [inois. Mr. Fitch is one of the most talented and accomplished lawyers of his age in this country, and being a gentleman of great industry and energy and high character, cannot fail to make his mark, in due time, on the history of the enferprising region wherein he resides Unsiten Srates Vesset 10 Go 70 Taupico.— We are official ty informed that the U.S. steam- er Fulton sailed from Key West, some ten days since, for Tampico. to protect the rights of our citizens in that quarter. The Susquebannah would also have been sent thither had not the yellow fever broken out on Loard. Deatn or Cart.

Mr. Washburne inquired the position of the bill before the House —whetber they first voted upon the substitute of Mr. Dodd, and, if that was not agreed to, whether the next vote was upon the Senate bill as amended in committee.
