fotal anb personal. Proceedings iii a Magistrate's Court.?It will be recollected that several weeks ago, while Mr. Savage was addressing a crowd on Pennsyl vania avenue, on the subject of temperance, Mr. A. Hunter, conceiving that his household had been unjustly assailed by the orator, indignantly re sented the insult by hurling at him several eggs, one of which, it was solemnly proved, was de cidedly " bad." For this offence, Mr. Hunter was required to give bail for his appearance during the next term of the criminal court. As un offset to this proceeding, Mr. Hunter, re cently. caused a warrant to issue against Mr. Savage for making use of "indecent and obscene words" on the 2(1 of October; and this was the case Justice Grubb, on Monday evening, pro ceeded to try. The counsel of Mr. Hunter was Colonel Thomp son, while officer John Davis acted for the corpo ration. Mr. Savage was represented by Justice John D. Clarke, one of the oldest officers in the cold-water army. Much interest was excited in the proceedings. The little office was crowded with the friends of the parties at issue; but one form was scarcely distinguishable from another, there being no arti ficial light save the sickly glare of a tallow candle, lazily reflected from the elevated desk of the magistrate. Several "points" arose and were warmly de bated by the opposing couuael, when the witnesses, a long string of them, were called; but none could establish the truth of the charge as applicable to the day named in the writ. There'seemed to be a mistake in the date; the period of the egg-throw ing affording no clue to the exact period. Sharp words passed between the respective counsel, but no blows were dealt; and the affair was wound up by the dismissal of the case. Justice Clarke immediately seized the candle, and hastened to an adjoining room to look for his hat, leaving the court, and counsel, and spectators, in totnl darkness. " Bring back the light ?' ex claimed an old gentleman in the crowd; " I can't find my hat!" said another ; " Light!" " light!" sung the multitude iu chorus, until the aforesaid candle was returned to the desk. There was then on overhauling of umbrellas, a putting on of hats, and a rush to the door to inhale the fresh, though damp, air. They that won rejoiced, while the opposite par ties were otherwise affected. Guano and Poudrette.?The first named and the world-renowned fertilizing agent, has been so productive of foil crops in this neighborhood and the adjoining counties of Maryland and Virginia, that the demand for it is constantly increasing. The supply of late, however, has become extreme ly limited ; and hence many agriculturists are dis appointed in their calculations. Two ships arrived at Baltimore on Saturday from Callao, each bringing a cargo of guano, con signed to F. Barreda & Brother, of that city. This is good news to cultivators of the soil, and espe cially to those who have heretofore, with but little success, been endeavoring to coax abundant fruit age from poor and wasted lands. During a debate in the board of aldermen of this city lately, it was stated by one of the members, a physician, that poudrette could easily be manufac tured by the application of copperas and plaster of paris to the other ingredient. This description of manure is inferior only to the guano, and is exten sively made use of in the northern part of our country. It might, to a great extent, be adopted as a substitute for the foreign favorite. Besides this, the health of communities thickly populated, could not but be improved by a conversion of scavengerage into poudrette.. It was once proposed to our city councils to commence its manufacture, under municipal en couragement, but like many other good sugges tions, it was disregarded by the " Fathers," who were not sufficiently impressed with the import n nee of the subject. Health Security.?An Americau traveler men tions tl^e fact that while in England he noticed that the ladies of that country actually wear, in rainy weather, shoes with soles half an inch thick; and it is remarked that colds, aches, consumption, death itself, could not force American ladies to adopt so ridiculous a fashion. Our fair ones, however, pay more attention to their "footing" now than they did twenty or a less number of years ago, when prunella shoes were worn by them both in summer and winter, including dry weather and wet. They do wear shoes somewhat impervious to cold and dampness; but we should, for their own sakes, like to see a further improve ment in this respect. No one will deny that they are the more delicate of the sexes, yet, heretofore, fashion has imposed upon them, contrary to the laws of health, an insufficient guard against dis ease and death. We trust that "progress," in its triumphant strides, will soon overtake them with all its comfortable influences. Public Schools.?The city councils, in joint meeting on Monday night, elected the following named gentlemen as trustees for the public schools: For the first district, Messrs. Abbot,"Haliday, and Farnham ; for the second, Messrs. Harbaugh, P. Bacon, and Douoho; for the third, Messrs. Walsh, Russell, and Altemus; and for the fourth. Messrs. Randolph, Pearson, and Byington. Obstructing the Sidewalks.?The case of the Corportion of Washington vs. George Savage, who was charged with obstructing the sidewalk on the Oth instant?gathering a crowd by the delivery of a temperance speech?was decided yesterday by Justice Grubb, who fined him ten dollars for vio lating the municipal law. The case will, we learn, be carried up to the circuit court, on appeal from the judgment of the magistrate. The Weather, yesterday, was in fine contrast to that of the day preceding; the sun shining, without cloudy interruptions, from " the rising to the going down thereof," rounding the sharp edges of the atmosphere, and melting the snowy evidence of the winter's near approach. Industrial Pursuits.?Mechanics and laborers an everv branch of business have no occasion to ; compiaia of "slack times." There is work enough lor all. In some business pursuits, "hands" are not sufficiently plentiful to meet present demands. The President's Mounted Guard will give their first grand ball, on Tuesday night next, at JacksofeHall. They " pledge themselves that no-1 thing shall be left undone to make it 'the ball of the A Public Meeting is to be held to night, at Temperance Hall, with reference to the suppres sion by the auxiliary guard of two temperance as ? emblies on Sunday last, aad for the vindication of the liberty of speech and free discussion. The Price of Round Trip Tickets, good for three days, to enable parties of twenty or more to visit by railroad the Baltimore Agricultural Fair, is two dollars each; dating from yesterday. General Twiggs.?Tliis veteran soldier, we understand, is about to proceed to the Cherokee nation with a portion of his command, to suppress the difficulties in that nation as well as among the Creek Indians, j Wymui will continue to perform at Odd Fel lows' Hall for two days longer, concluding his en tertainments in magic and ventriloquism to-mor row night.

Appropriate reli gious services having been performed by the Rev. Septimus Tustin, p. D., at the residence of her father, Jonathan Severs, esq. Adulteration of Oil.?Dr. Nichols, of Haver hill, Mass., in a communication to the " Boston JournaJ," states that being employed by a manu facturer of woollen goods to examine chcmically some specimens of lard oil purchased for manu facturing purposes, he ascertained that it was largely adulterated with rosin oil. One specimen contained about twenty per cent, of the rosin, which being one-fourth less in price, was cer tainly a great' cheat. Rosin oils are not adapted for woollen goods, consequently the adulteration was positively iqjurious:? ' When lard or whale oil is adulterated with rosin oil, and used for purposes of illumination, it will result in throwing oil large quantities of un consumed carbon, which, falling upon furniture and upon walls of dwellings, produce serious mis chief. The presence of rosin oil in any of the fatty oils may be detected by the peculiar odor, by the deuse black smoke arising from a shred of wicking when ignited in a capsule of the mixture, and by its specific gravity." He also says that be was employed to examine what is termed " Marsh's Vegetable Oil," which is used for illumination. This ho found to contain none of the characteristics of oil. " It is a hydro-carbon liquid, composed of alco hol and turpentine?four parts of the former to one of the latter?tinged yellow with some coloring matter. It is a compound eminently explosive and dangerous in its character, like othef burning fluids, differing from them only in name. A lew drops evaporated in a glass flask, and the vapor mingled with 25 parts of atmospheric air, exploded with a loud report. An ordinary'decanting vessel, filled with its vapor and air, exploded with a fearful de tonation. The specimen experimented with was procured of the manufacturer direct." This article is extensively advertised and re commended as a safe anti-explosive oil, and thou sands are burning it carelessly, thinking it to be such.?Scientific American.

Oct 23?2awlm T) ATENT GAS REGULATOR.?The In J7 ventor (Dr. Kidder) of this economical and useful instrument deserves the thanks ot the gas consuming community. The saving effected by the use of it will be found fully 25 per cent, in ev ery person's gas bill. It can be so adjusted as to supply the gas at any desired pressure less than that of the street, and when once adjusted, the Regulator will continue to supply the gas at that pressure uniformly, without requiring further care or attention, and independent of all the fluctua tions of the street pressure. An additional advan tage obtained by this Regulator is a light of a more agreeable quality, in place of the bluish white color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in op eration in some of the principal hotels and large stores in New York city, who all bear favorable testimony to its value. It has also received the united commendations of the press. Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city of Washington and its vicinity, desirous to avail themselves of the economises can obtain all fur ther information by calling on the subscriber, who has fitted one of these Regulators up in his store, and will give nn illustration of it, EDWARD M.

Friday, Oct. 21.?The challenging of the jurors vat resumed. Fourteen challenges, and a large number of dismissals on account of bius were made. The Columbian remarks: 11 We were re minded of the paruble of the feast to which men would not come, because one was to be married, another's ox had fallen in a ditch," Sec., &c. At last the jury wai empanuellcd and the jurors were sworn. Judge McLean reminded those present of his order prohibiting daily reports. The first witness was then called. "Reporters put their pens above their ears and listened. All were in doubt. Contempt of the honorable circuit court of the United States was to be feared; a few days in jail might be conse quent upon a refusal to ubide by the order. " The reporter for the Columbian determined to abide orders from headquarters, and then submit to or defy Undo Sam, as the case might be. It did strike him that, if a reporter were determined, it would trouble the United States court to prevent the publication of testimony. "By a refusal to submit, a question might be started as important as the Ingraham and Kosztu question. " Upon consultation, the reporters agreed to sus pend a determination, and held a confercnce when the court took a recess." , Money and Learning.?The following just re jections occur in an address, recently delivered by Iliram Ketchum, esq., on the occasion of the death of Chief Justice Jones: There are now living in Europe two very dis tinguished men, bnrons, both very eminent in their line, both known to the whole civilized world: one is Baron Rothschild, and the other is Baron Hum boldt ; one distinguished for the accumulation of wealth, the other for the accumulation of knowl edge. What are the possessions of tho philoso pher? Why, sir, I heard a gentleman whom I have seen here this afternoon, a distinguished member of this community, say that, on a recent visit to Europe, he paid his respects to that distin guished philosopher, and was admitted to an audi ence. He found him, at the age of eighty-four years, fresh and vigorous, in a small room, nicely sanded, with a large deal table uncovered in the midst of that room, containing his books and writing apparatus. Adjoining this was a small bedroom, in which he slept. Here this emiuent philosopher received a visitor from the United States. He conversed with him ; he spoke of his works. " My works," said he, " you will find in the adjoining library, but I ani too poor to own n copy of them. I have not the means to buy a full copv of iny own works." Now, sir, which of these barons do you think, even in this age of gold, receives ?the greatest amount of the homage of the human race ? 1 speak not of the homage of intelligent rnau, but of the honor paid by the masses. Let them both coine here und pass through our streets, and see to which of them the hat of the multitude will be doffed with the most cheerfulness and alacrity. The Camanches, of western Texas, having exhausted their means of subsistence, and being reduced to a desperate aritl starving condition, are now professing to the agents of the United States government their willingness to settle perma nently near Fort Chadbourne and cultivate the soil, if the government will furnish them with im plements and teachcrs and guaranty tliem the permanent possession of the lands they may im prove. All the various bands of the nation are to meet at the above named fort in November next, by appointment of Major Neighbors, with whom they will probably make some sort of a treaty. The San Antonio Ledger says: "The buffalo have entirely disappeared and nearly all other species of game, and the poor In dian is now compelled to glean a scanty subsist ence from wild fruits. They have become the most arrant beggars from the stations, while their hunger leads them to seize with avidity and de vour the veriest offal flung from the forts." The U.S..Steamer Humboldt, Captain Lines, sailed from New Yock, on Saturday last, for South ampton and Havre, with 190 passengers and $661,4b3 73. Among the passengers are the Hon.

NEW YORK NKWS. Fires?About 12 o'clock, Friday night, a fire broke out in a range of old frame sheds, corner of Greenwich und CJajrkson streets, occupied as a marble cutter's shop, by Mr. Joseph Lippett. The flames were soon extinguished by the firemen. Loss about $150. The lire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, as no fire was used about the premises. The loss is fully covered by insurance. On Friday night a fire broke out in the iron foundry of Mekinly ii SmitJj, No. 31 Second av enue, occasioned from the fire in the furnace. It was extinguished with a few buckets of water, no alarm being given by the bells. Damage slight. On Saturday morning a camphene lamp set fire to tho ceiling, No. 274 Water street. The flames were extinguished with a few pails of water. found Droivuedr?T||e body of an unknown man, about thirty years of ago, was }estprc)ay found in the dock, foot of Broad street, Last river. The deceased is supposed to be the boatman who fell overboard at that place, about two weeks ago, while endeavoring to help a female on board his boat. He is about five feet ten inches in height, has dark brown tyair, and was dressed in blue plants, gray monkoy jacket, muslin shirt, t?nd thick shoes. The body was placed on board a canal boat, and Coroner Hilton proceeded to it for the purpose of holdiug an inquest. When on board, he requested those present to leave until the in quisition was through with, all complied except a negro, who not only refused to leave, but was abu sive to the coronpr, aijd for his conduct wn# lock ed up in the first ward*police station- The owner of one or more of tho bouts was present, and, it is said, did not art a very creditable part in the mat* ter. The verdict of the jury was, death by drown ing. A Prise Fight Prevented.?Information was sent about 8 o'clock yesterday morning to the 18th ward police station, that a fight was about to take place at the atone quarry near the fool of 3bth street. 12. R. Lieut. Bennett, with a fonJeof police, repaired to the spot, where they found a largo number of rowdies assembled to witness the light. Uy con cealing their stars the police managed to pass through the crowd, and soon got to the place where the ring was being formed, and found the fighters in attendance with their seconds. After waiting a few minutes the police attempted to ar rest the ringleaders, and suocoeded in capturing one of them; the others were too quick for them and ran off in various directions. One of th? fighters jumped into a boat and rowed towards the Long Island shore J he was pursued by officer Bur den in another boat, and soon l>oth landed, but the fighter had got too great a start of bis pursuer and made a successful escape. The one arrested was taken before Justice Stuart and held to await ex amination. The Went Street Murder.?The young man who was arrested aUmt three weeks since, on suspicion of having been concerned in the mur der of an unknown raaa, in West street, was yes terday discharged by Coroner O'Donnei, there being scarcely a shadow of proof ngainst him.

Daring Attempt at Highway Robbery Last evening, about half-past seveu o'clock, as a clerk from the office of Johnson k Brothers, I bankers, accompanied by a black porter, each car rying a valise of money and valuable papers to de|K>sit for the night in the vault of Lee & Joliu 1 sou, the black man was struck with a slung shot when opposite Mr. Gould's jeweler More, by a man whose regular appearance at that part of Baltimore street, about that hour, had attracted some observation. The negro-was knocked down and his head badly cut, but he hung on to his valise I like u Trojan, which tho ruffian endeavored to wring from him. Finding that he could not get the valise from the porter, this unmitigated scoun drel charged upon the clerk, who would probably have lost his valise aud sustained considerable personal injury had he not made good his retreat into a store. The attack was so sudden and un expected, and so quickly made, although in our most public thoroughfare, and at an hour in the evening when it is generally thronged with pas sengers, that the villiaii made good Ins escape be fore any alarm could be given, lie is known, however, and several of our energetic policemen were at once put upon his track, and will doubt less succeed, if they did not last night, in capturing him. This is one of the most dnring and outrage ous attempts at highway robbery we have ever had to record. The rascal has, undoubtedly, been waiting for some time a favorably opportunity to accomplish his object, which he came near effect ing last evening, the streets being almost deserted, owing to the inclement state ofthe weather. The negro was taken to tho drug store of Messrs. Coleman & Rogers, where his wounds were pro perly dressed. A Dlddler Foiled.?A member of the light fingered tribe mnde a bold but unsuccessful splash at a suit of clothes on Saturday evening last at a restaurant on Light street. A respectable citizen, in pursuit of certain comfortable things for the in ner man, entered the establishment with a bundle consisting of a full equipment fresh from the mill, 1 which he deposited on the table, and turned to wards the bar. While going through the agree able operation of refreshment, a "uiceyoung inan," incontinently of course, picked up the bundle and left suddenly, doubtless congratulating himself in anticipation of the elegant swell he should make at church in the morning. The most carefully considered and cautious movements, however, are often doomed to disappointment. On the present occasion there happened to be a sober colored man in the apartment, who stood behind a marble slab opening oysters. Like a careful guardian he had one eye on the bivalves aud another for general inspection ofthe company. The latter eye proved highly useful in the case under consideration, for no sooner did Didler leave the door, bundle in hand, than the colored gentleman started in pursuit. Orent was the surprise of the enterprising cheva lier d'industrian. on being overhauled by the watch ful knight of the oyster-knife. w;hc?, very politely, offered to relieve him of the indignity of carrying a bundle in the street. The gentleman prudently determined that it would not suit him to wear that suit, and without any'unnecessary parley gave up the bundle and made tracks, a wise course, we think, and so will our readers. Moral.?Gentlemen should be careful how they deposit bundles in public bar-rooms, Fair ofthe Maryland Institute.?Only a few days remain for our citizens to witness the rare attractive scenes on exhibition at the hall ofthe Maryland Institute. The various objects of art, mechanical ingenuity, productions of skill or crea tive genius, have elicited the warmest encomiums of the public, and combine, as is universally ac knowledged, the most creditable display ever wit nessed in the monumental city. Prominent among the articles exhibited are a number of patent sew ing machines, which will doubtless tend to force seamstresses from their useful sphere of labor, and result in their usurping the places of dry goods clerks, who will find a more manly, appropriate field of labor, in the fruitful teeming prairies of the west. One ofthe most noticcablc sewing machines is constructed by Grover, Baker & Co., propelled by steam, and superintended by Miss Mnry Wal lace, whose slender lingers guide the steain-pro pelled needle, in lines of delicate tracingwhich vie in beautiful execution with the embroideries of fairyland. Singer's sewing machine is also the theme of universal praise, and fully equals, it is said by scientific judges, any similar invention of the age. Those who wish to behold the most at tractive exhibition ever witnessed in our city, will not fail to visit the Fair of the Maryland Institute, ere it closes. Agricultural Fair aud Cattle Show.?'This grand and imposing display of the stock and agri cultural productions of the1 State of Maryland be gins to-day, upon the grounds of the society, loca ted a short distance beyond the city lioiits, at the northern extremity of Charles street. The large ly increased number of deposites, over any previ ous year, indicates that the present fair will exceed any exhibition of a similar nature ever witnessed in the United Stales. During to-day, none but judges and members of the society will be admit ted, to enable them to examine the articles in their various departments, preparatory to the award of premiums. To-morrow the public at large will be admitted, and there is little doubt the influx of vis itors will equal, if not exceed, the most sanguine expectations of the directofs. The Contributions to the Washington Mon ument, at the Maryland Institute, amounted on Friday to 90 cents, and on Saturday to $3 74. This is a little improvement on the contributions of for mer days, but the receipts are yet farshort of what they should be. Boxes! will be found at the cattle show and at the polls on election day, and will doubtless be well pntronized. If the many thou sands that purpose visiting these places will but contribute one cent each, the receipts will do credit to thp city. From tho Columbian of the 'lid lnjtiuic. CINCINNATI NEWS. A Great Uat Scrape!?Yesterday, one of the greatest rat-killing scrapes that ever came ofl west of the mountuius, or anywhere else, probably, was that which took place at Hubbard s ro' tu(, on Western Row. Washington Rose's slut Uose, and Brandt's slut Fanny, were piued for liliy dol lars a side. Fifty rats?and our Cincinnati rats are rats as is rats?were let into tho pit at ajump! Rose went in, and she performed a feat unparal leled by any dog in the country,'executing her fifty rats in two minutes and thirty-five seconds. Fanny did her work well, but was six minutes in slaying thirty rats,"ana was then withdrawn. Now. the fastest work ever doue by dogs on rats in tliis country hcretolbrc, was by Charley Abels dog Major, in New York, nnd Major required eight minutes to kill his fifty half-starved rats, llence we see that we not only get up bnstin rats out west, birt bully dogs to eat 'em up! Some two hundred persons witnessed tfao alioV'e tall feat in rat-killing. Mr. Rose challenges the United States to produce an equal to his dog. Ab It Should be.?The talk "on Change" nnd elsewhere is the recent rape case. As ? c said at tlio beginning, so we say now?that caso must be properly disposed of. And it will be no fault of ours as publio journalists, if the poor, friendless, down-troddou, ajid almost crushed girl, Mary Smith, does not have her wrong* and the flagrant outrage upon societv fully discussed and legitimately dis posed of. The girl has l>een condemned to the house of refuge, so wo learn, and we shall try to find out if this be a fact?nnd ii sq, who sent her there, and by what authority. Just now, tho case of that poor, friendless girl seems to imperatively claim human sympathy; for whil'j im attempt is being made to whitewash hor monstrous' assail ants, she shall not 1h> pictured blacker than hell it self, if common sense and decency can be made to prevail in u civilized community. Everything for common good?nothing for personal effect is our motto. One of Rum'* victlmfc?A Mrs. Pierce, an in temperate woman abont forty years of age, ex Sired suddenly in Kuelid street yesterday foreaoon. he was first observed standing by a tenee, with her neek upon the pickets, when the immediately fell and expired. The deceased was in the regular habit of get ting drunk, for which ollence she was recently sent to jail on bread and water. Her husband is now serving out a similar settence lor the same cause. What a distressing picture of the "dark side of life" does the career of this miserable pair J afford?ftrnt Ctiy JJcmotrat, 1 Mlsa Lucy Stone, left the city yesterday, on the Maysville packet, for - New Richmond, accom panied by a number of the true-blue abolition coterie and her particular friend and chaperou, Mr. Blackwell. She will remain two or three days in that notorious depot of the 44 Underground rail road," affiliating with his enterprising stockholders, and confirming the faith of the brotherhood of that pleasant town. Our " Eulalie " was also a passen ger upon the same boat, and seemed to divide the honors with the fair but short-skirted Lucy. We noticed that an ancient colored sister was ban ished to the pantry, and was not admitted to the social intercourse of the ladies' cabin. How is this, Miss Lucy ?

Another Counterfeit.--There is another dan gerous counterfeit out, says the Louisville Courier, and wo advise our readers to be upon their guard against it.. It is a $3 note upon the Southern Rank of Kentucky, made payable at Rtissellville. In the genuine, the word "America" is printed across the vignette; whereas upon the counterfeit, the vignette is perfectly plain. The note is so good and so well executed that almost any one would be likely to be imposed upon, and particularly in the night season.
