K V . N lN(w STAR. Local Intelligence. Aa Excitbmbjt?Arrbst or a Foqitivb Last night, about 8 o'clook. peeing a crowd of persons near the oorner of N inth and ? streets north, we crossed over, and there beheld a blaok man. holding tightly by the collar a small boy, of hit own complexion The latter positively refused to acoompany the former, who was as determined to remote his prisoner by force. Accordingly, he dragged him along the pavement The boy's pantaloons coming in oontact with a projecting briok were split in the rear, and, by the severe handling he received, his under garment was removed from its appropriate place, and hung loosely on the outside, after the arrangement of' Little Hill." the Indian warrior, who once, in this city, ad dressed the Commissioner of Indian Affairs upon pending treaty stipulations. In reply to a question, the black man said the boy be longed to his master, and bed run away His orders were to make the arrest and return the fugitive property. The boy replied that he was afraid to go home, lest his master should whip him. Tnere were near by half a dosen humble but sympathising women who thought it a severe |hame to see the lad thus handled, and judging from their remarks and manner, they seemed inclined to interfere and effect a res cue. However, a white lad volunteered to assist the black man He seised the boy by the legs, while the black man held his prisoner by the arms; and thus thoy carried the fugi tive along the street, on his way home; the living weight screaming meantime, and sev-j eral big dogs, participating in the universal excitement, loudly barking. The fugitive was soon out of sight, notwith standing his efforts to release himself ftom his uncomfortable position. The sjiar athuing women, it afterwards ap peered, had gone for their male friends, who nastened to the scene; but it was now too late for them to interfere. One of them said if they had been there the negro should not have carried away the boy, while the women con tinned to exclaim 11 shame! " " shame! " The fact is, the negro boy had run away from his master, and declined returning home for fear of a whipping Whether or not he received one, is a question into which we did not care to inquire. Orphans' Coubt.? We have heretofore alluded to the case before this court, involving the application of Edmund Law Rogers to re. voke the letters of administration granted to Henry May, on the estate of Edmund and Thomas Law, deceased, Mr. Roger's claiming to be next of kin. This morning, Judge Purcell delivered his opinion in the case. He said it was not neces sary for him to decide on the question of heir ship, nor to express an opinion on that point It appeared that Mr May filed two petitions in 1?49, asking to be appointed administrator of the estate of Thomas aod Edmund Law, alleging that he was a creditor of the estate of those persons. It was necessary at that time to have a legal representative, because suits were pending in the Circuit Court, and he was oounsel for those persons in their life time The Judge said there was a remedy afforded in the act of Congress of 1340 He thought that Mr May had shown that he was a credi tor it the time he was appointed administra tor, and the Court should, therefore, require Mr May to como into Court and give new bonds for the taking care of the estate, to await the further order of the Court, the bond to be given wiihin the next ten days. The Judge did not thick proper, under the circum stances to revoke the letters of administration granted to Mr May; bat this would be done unices Mr May shall give the required boud The Judge, in pronouncing his decision re ferred to several authorities including that of 8 Gill and Johnson, in the case of Hoffman vs. Gold. Mr. Cox for Mr Rogers, made application for an issue to be made up, which will be ar gued on Tuesday. The estate in question involves about $20 000, and Mr May is required 'o give bond to rwiee this amount Tea t racas at Willard's ?Yesterday af ternoon. at about the hour for dinner at that house, Mr. E F Beale. late Superintendent of Indian Affairs in California, met CoL Geo W M&nypenny, Commissioner of Indian Af fairs, as the latter was entering the door of the western entrance of Willards hotel, and ut tering a few hostile words, struck, (according to the letter's account.) Mr. M. two or three blows on the head with his fist, he (Mr M ) being blindea with the dust, which was blow* ing in elouds, so that he could not see his an tagonist at the time After clearing his eyes of the du3t, he seised his assailant by the throat, when two of the friends of the latter parted them. Mr M then seised a chair, but was prevented frcm striking Mr. Beale with it by the bystanders. Such is the account of the fight which Colonel Manypenny gives Before leaving the ground, Mr B is said to have de clared that he was ready to give any satisfac tion to his antagonist, aBd that his friends would be able to inform the latter where he could be found Mr Beale took the cars for Baltimore shortly after the occurrence of the fracas, it is thought, to avoid a prosecution for his infraction of the laws The friends of Mr. Beale. who were with him at the time, say that the assault was unpremeditated, and re sulted from what he believed to be the inju ries he bad received from Col. Manypenny's hostility to him We unders and that Col M. wss not materially injured in the affair, though a blow on the nose, of course, caused a flow of blood. Thb nic.H Wibds yesterday afternoon, among other things, tore up a tree by the roots, near the centre market, blew down a fence in D street near Seventh, and ripped away an awning from its fastenings; removed hats from the heads of incautious pedestrians, and sent a lot of tin ware and barrels flying through the streets There was a continued noise and racket, caused by the agitation of every thing movable within the influence of the violently moving atmosphere We omit a specific reference to the dense cloods of dust No human invention could have removed the loose dirt from the streets so effectually The doors of the sMp-house at the Navv Yard; were not only banged and slammed, but sev eral of them torn from their hinges in the effort to cloee them, the workmen were sev. erally hurt, and one of 'he latter bad his leg broken er disjointed. Toward evening, how ever, the wind lulled, much to the relief of all who were obliged to venture abroad. Th? Cabal abd tbb Ibob Bbidgbh ? We notice that the mud-machine is at work, and learn that several months will elapse before the steam dredge, recently authorised by the City Councils, and for which an appropriation of $7,500 was made, can be obtained It may, perhape. be constructed in this city, where the work can be executed as well as in any other of the Union. The experiment of iron bridges may be con sidered a failure; or, at least they are not as reliable as wooden ones. Those over the canal, though they were erected only a few years ago, bad become ricketty, and were re garded as unsafe. In pursuance of law, Ellis A Bro are now engaged in strengthening and repairing the bridges A substantial iron pier is te be placed under all those over the eanal. except that (for foot passengers only) at Tenth street, which is to have two piers. We doubt not that the skillful and enterpri sing oontraetors will do their work well. Babbatb 6<~hool Cblibratiob ?We learn that there will be a grand Sabbath school cel ebration on the third Monday in May next. The children, after marching through the streets are to proceed to the Smithsonian In stitution, where services appropriate to the occasion will be observed.

It was decidedly pleasant to turn aside from the affairs of the world and to partake of the choice collation which our worthy and estimable fellow-citiien so boun tifully provided.

Fire?F'irsmen's Vw?<?Accident?Firh. Alexandria, April 21,1855. Last night, about ten o'olock, a new frame building, at the corner of Prince and Henry streets, and owned by Mr Edward S. Plum. m^r, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm quickly spread; but before the oompanies could arrive the building was wrapped in flames. Owing to the hi^h wind, the adjoin ing frame house, also new, owned by Mr. Cba-> Grimes, w? also scon enveloped in the flames. The distance from the water plug district rendered it almost impossible for the firemen to get water, so that, notwithstanding their great exertions, the buildings were en tirely consummed They, however, were suc cessful in saving the adjoining frame, owned and occupied by Mr. Bradt, which *as in im minent danger The two houses were worth about $1,000 each, and were insured in the Potomao Company. The fire is supposed to have Deen caused by an incendiary. Too muoh praise cannot be bestowed on our fire men for confining the fire to the spot in whioh it originated, especially when it is known that it was in a district where the houses are built of the most oombustible materials, and there was but a half supply of water. The Franklin Company of your city came down, but too late to be of any service.

Scddee Death ?Mr Eli Humiston, of Der by, agel 67, came to his death in a singular manner, a few nights since His son, a young lad, was gurgling pepper tea for a sore throat, when his father wanted some to drink. He took a swallow, which strangled him so much that his friends feared death would immediately ensue. They gave him some other tea, whioh apparently relieved him; but in a few moments he oomplain^d of feeling bad, said he wished he had let it alooe, for bo wm afraid ho should bo troubled with it all night.
