'* Tit? Liquor Hill."
Uu Mouduy ?v?uiug next the Common Coun
cil of Washiugtou will have oa important duty
to perform, in finally toting upon the law re
specting the truifio iu intoxicating liquors. This
law does not affect the hotels and taverns of the
city, but simply ull other persons who sell or
barter such liquors iu quantities less than n
pint. It originated with the Common Council,
by whom it was passed two weeks ago; but wab
on Monday hist materially altered and improved
by the Hoard of Aldermen.
lis object is to suspend all drauishops, oyster
house bars, and other establishments in which
liquors are sold, except where "a majority of
? the white housekeeper,s residiny on the tide of the
* tame square, ami oil the side of the square front
? iny opposite where the establishment for ihe salt
4 or barter of such enumerated liquors is proposed
' to be located or openedshall unite in recom
mending the gran tiny of such license to a particular
person. The penalty imposed for each viola
tion of this law is a fine of ,lnot less than ten nor
more than twtnty dollars, or imprisonment in the
workhouse for a term not exceeding ninety days."
The Commou Council will, no doubt, approve
the alterations of the Board of Aldermen, and
it would bo to offer an indignity to his honor
tho Mayor to doubt for a moment that the bill
will receive his official sanction. We may,
therefore, regard as certain the crcatiou of this
law; and we hail with delight its advent, and
offer our hearty thanks to its authors and to all
who have assented to its passage. It will prove
a just, a humane, and a beneficent law. It will
remove from many neighborhoods iu this city
the most baneful and pernicious sources of evil
they contain; it will remove from tho young
the obscure haunts of temptation to which they
covertly resort; and it will restore to honest
and honorable pursuits a large number of per
sons who are now seducing men from the paths
of sobriety, industry, and respectability. It
will, also, cause the people of every square ol
the city to purify the neighborhood in which
they dwell, or to assume the responsibility of
all the disorder and scandal to which a de
graded grog-selling establishment may give
rise!
Wo think we can discern in this bill the omis
eion of some specifications that experience will
call for; but it is ou this account scarcely less
acceptable to us. Perhaps it is better that it
?hould not be over-stringent at the first. Let
it be enacted, and let it go iuto operation, and
let its effects be seen and felt. If then it shull
be approved, and if the desire shall exist to en
hance its efficiency, it will bo well; but if the
citizens of Washington shall desire its repeal,
we will render a cheerful acquiescence in their
decision. We have no confidence in the wisdom
of any law that has not the popular sanction.
Let, therefore, this law be perfected, and give
to it a faithful and willing obedience, holding
to strict accountability every one who attempts
to violate the will of the community thus for
mally and deliberately expressed. Do this, and
of the consequences proceeding therefrom we
shall never complain.
''Spirituous liquors, wines, cordials, malt
liquors, and cider" will still bo scrld freely in
quantities not less than a pint by all grocers who
choose to deal in them; they will also^be sold
in smaller quantities by those who can procure j
the required recommendation, and by all keep
ers of real hotels and taverns. These will afford
ample accommodations to every one. None
need complain of the abridgment of their lib
erty to drink, and even to get drunk, should
their tastes so incline them. And yet there
will be closed up a very large number of noi
some rendezvous of lazy and degraded sots, now
the sources of a vast amount of crime and misery.
There will still be drinking and drunkenness;
but let us not hence undervalue the influence
of this law. Let us be thankful for all it shall
accomplish, rather than regretful that it cannot
accomplish more. It will present no impedi
ment to the friends of temperance in the prose
cution of their labors; but, on the contrary,
will, in its operation, afford them the practical
and tangible proofs of what may be done by dis
creet, judicious, and gradual legislation.
The following is the bill in question, as
amended by the Board of Aldermen, and to be
considered on Monday evening by the Common
Council:
AN ACT amendatory of an art laying a tax on shops,
porter-cellars, and confectioneries, and increasing tin

How beautiful is this October sun! how
pleasant are its breezes! how delightful the sky
above us, and the earth beneath! and how
happy are the thousands who walk upon this
portion of the fair earth?this " land of the

shall continue to invigorate and cheer this heri
tage, so long may freedom, prosperity, and
peace be ours ! Selah !

VlrflnU Elections.
The Norfolk or Ftrtl District.?General Mill
son, the lute able and highly respected repre
urinative, i? re-elected by a majority unprece
dented of late years in that district, although
bis Whig opponent, Leopold C. P. Cowper, is a
noble, eatliuuble, and highly talented gentle
man. The JItralJ thus imperfectly explains the
matter:
?? We are satisfied now that the Whigs in this
city, cannot be brought to act as a political
party, after the manner and appliances of their
opponents, who raise no question about their
(n,i n, if he is true to their principles; and by
Inking special care that ull the public patronage
I within their reach shall enure to their partisans,
they are always enabled to present an unbroken
front at elections, and thus maintain their as
cendency."
Wo suppose a wbuke is here implied of those
who do not take caro of their friends. If so,
and if the national Executive is aimed at, we
have only to say the Heraldlittle knows how hard
it would be for them to decide who are their
friends ! A good many days, if not weeks,
have passed since we heard any Whig in this
city avow a preference for any one now in au
thority to General Soott, in the selection of a
candidate for the next election; and we have
heard a very large number of men in oflico ex
press their private views on the subject!
Wheeling, Oct. 24.?The returns, thus far
received from this, the Fifteenth Congressional
District, leave little doubt of the election of
Thompson, (Dem.) over Ilaymond, (Whig.)
Thompson gains 200 in Ohio county, and his
majority in Brooke is 79, and in Marshall, 2o.
Richmond, Oct. 'lb.?Judge Caskie (Dem.) is
elected in this district by about iioO majority
over iiotts, (Whig.) He carries Chesterfield,
Henrico, Hauover, Powhatan and Louisa coun
ties. Mr. Iiotts carries Richmond city by the
reduced majority of 39'J votes.
Tenth District.?There is no doubt of the
election of Faulkner, (Whig,) to Congress, over
Bedinger, being a Whig gain.
P. S.?We learn by telegraph that in the
tenth district Warren county has given Bedin
ger only seventy-five majority, thus insuring
Faulkner's election.
The New Constitution everywhere prevails,
by great majorities.
The Operatic Concert on Monday evening
will probably exceed any thing our citizens have
heard in many years, if ever. It will be well
attended, if we may judge from the sanguine
anticipations of all who speak of it. We look
for a brilliant assemblage?for an array of
beauty even more entrancing than the music of
the famous artistes.
The Centre Market this morning was finely
supplied, and crowded with purchasers. Best
cuts of beef Bold at 8 cents per pound; veal, 8c.;
lamb, 8c.; pork, 10c.; sausages, 10c.; chickens,

Consul Owen not Arriveu. ? It was the

j the subject.
[from the New York Herald, of ye*terdajr.]
The European Mora by the Hermann.
The steamer Hermann, which arrived at this
port yesterday, brings four days' later intelli
gence from Europe. She also brings the fine
complement of one hundred and sixty passen
gers. Among them is Mr. James G. Bennett,
the editor ami proprietor of this journal, after
an absence of several months in Great Britain
and on the Continent.'
The news by tbis arrival is of no special im
portance. The political affairs of France and
the Continent are dragging heavily along?calm |
upon the surface, but full of the elements of>
popular discontent, on tHe one hand, and of |
uneasiness among the tinkering cabinets on the j
other. A prominent feature of continental af- j
fairs is the universally embarrassed condition
of the finances of all the various nationalities. 1
Scarcely a single State, principality, or duke-'
j dom of Europe is in a condition either to lend !
or to borrow ; for, excepting Holland, all ap
i pear to be short of funds and of the credit
j necessary to meet the liabilities, even, of a j
peace establishment. Under such circum
stances, the great powers are all under the
same necessity of preserving the peace; and
this necessity of averting the expensive arbi
trament of war in any case may possibly ope
rate to postpone the final settlement of accounts
with the people. A general war would be fol- i
lowed by a general bankruptcy. How different
is the condition of these United States, with
the prodigious resources of the cotton of the
I South and the gold of California! How amply {
1 able, in the face of the exhausted and decrepit i
1 state of the powers of Europe, to give them
good counsel and advice!
The refusal of the government of France to
allow Kossuth to pass through her territory,
i appears to have nettled the distinguished Hun
i garian considerably, if we may judge from the
revolutionary address which, in consequence of
the said refusal, he directed to the " Democrats
of Marseilles." From this address, whatever i
| may have been the policy of France, it is pretty !
j evident that the policy of Kossuth is exactly j
the reverse of that of Louis Napoleou.
Robrer Caught.?About two o'clock this |
| morning officers Coxe, Fowler, and Cross heard ;
| some noise in the boarding house of Mrs. Pey- |
ton, corner of the Avenue and Four-and-a half
'
street, nnd posted themselves near the door. In
I a few minutes the door opened and three men,
I with candles, two shovels, and a billet of wood,
i emerged from the front door. The officers ap
! proached, when these men placed themselves iu
! a fighting attitude, with their formidable wea
| pons in hand! but as soon as they found the
police-men around them, they gave information
that a robber had been in the house, and was
then in the back yard. Officer Coxe imme
diately went in search, and followed the robber
| into the adjoining yard, where he had sought
concealment. He was promptly secured and
1 taken to the watch-house, and was committed
for trial by Justice Goddard this morning. He
had entered the bouse by a back second story
window. Whether he had an accomplice or not
is not known. His name is Frank McOann,
and he is a plumber by trade.
Okk. Wool.?The Ulster (N. Y.) Democrat
is out with a strong and forcible leader, advo
cating the nomination of Gen. Wool for the
Presidency by the Democratic National Con
vention.

A statement is put forth by various European
journals, to tho effect that England and France
had united in recommending to the Spanish
government a plan of negro emancipation for
the Island of Cuba, on the Jamaica system, as
the best means to preserve that island from the
inroads and ambitious designs of the United
States. The French republic being entirely
under the influence of England, it was expected ;
that such a policy would bo adopted, because
it would effectually checkmate the U. States.
The notorious Lola Montes has taken her |
passage for New York in one of the Bremen or
Havre steamers, and will arrive here in Novem
ber. She has made her debut again as a dan
name, and has been performing from Boulogne
all round to Cologne with great, varied, and
singular success. She professes to be a dem
ocrat or socialist, and to dance nothing but
republican dances; thus setting, wherever she
goes in Europe, the political waters in terrible
commotion.
The fruilletoni of the Parisian journals had
been commenting in every style on tho extraor
dinary reception of Catherine Hayes in New
York. They state that Jenny Lind, the night
ingale, had been dethroned, and Catherine
Hayes inaugurated as the new divinity, under
the title of the Swan of Erin.
The French republic is still in existence?that
is to say, the rump of a republic?nothing elso.
Our private letters inform us that Lord Dud
ley Stuart, hoving obtained intelligence from
Vienna that an attempt to assassinate Kossuth
would be made at his landing in Southampton,
and that two females had left the Austrian cap
ital for the express purpose of making an at
tempt upon the life of tho illustrious fugitive at
Southampton, great precautions were to be
taken by the authorities of Southampton to
frustrate the satanic designs of these women.
