CITY INTELLIGENCE.

/ "
( MIR. Richardson stated to the Court, that from
what information he had received, he did not
believe that the charge of murder could be
sustained, The woman had been very badly
beaten by Wilson about five weeks before her
death, but after the assault she so far recovere ed
as to be able to be about again, and was sub
sequently taken sick, and died; but the physi-
clans, (Drs. Durkee and Leonard who were
present at the Coroner's Inquest, could not
say that the beating was the cause of her
death. The doctors were examined before the
Court, and testified that they could not assert
upon their oaths, that the assault was the cause
of death, the Court accordingly entered ver-
diet of "not guilty" Of the charge of murder.
The charge of the assault is yet to be tried.

Complimentary Dinner atthe "Eutmg HOUSE"
The complimentary dinner which was given at
the Eutaw House, on Tuesday evening, to the
bxJn ronriaforc &c tha b,,f
merchants of the West End, and boarders of
the Hotel, was one of the most splendid affairs
we have ever witnessed. The table, at
which was accommodated some two hundred
gentlemen, was profusely loaded with every
thing that the season or ingenuity could pro-
duce, and was set with taste, and in a style
that can not be surpassed. The large dining
room was enlarged, by throwing open the doors
which led into the Ladies' Ordinary, and the
whole was decorated and lighted up in a style
which was the universal theme OF admiration.
o. G. Tiffany, Esq, presided on the occasion,
assisted by number of vice-presidents, and
one of the most agreeable evenings magma
Bile was enjoyed by the large company. After
the cloth was removed, "the flow of wine, and
the flow of soul" commenced, and wit, song,
and sentiment prevailed, until a late hour, when
the company separated in the best spirits and
humer. We regret that a pressure of other
matter upon our columns, lorbds our giving
it full and extended notice.
Destructive Fire. The large coach-making
establishment of Mr.. Geo. w. Pryor, situate in
North street, two doors from Saratogo street,
was discovered to be OH fire about fifteen min
utes before O'Clock yesterday morning. 1t
originated in the upper story of the back build
ing and soon communicated to the whole es-
Enlistment, which owing to its combustible !
nature, was in short time entirely consumed.
The fire then communicated to the large three
story brick building adjoining, owned by Mr..
Southgate of Delaware, and occupied as
dwelling by Mr.. n. r. Woodward. MIR. Pryor
had policy of insurance upon his stock in the
Spring Garden Company of Philadelphia, Of
Sll00, which will not cover bis loss; also,
policy in the Equitable Society of this city upon
the building OF Sl40O. Mr.. Southgate was in
sured in the Fremen's Office of this city to the
amount of $1,000, which will more than cover
the loss. Mr.. Woodward lost by the removal
offurniture SC. about 500. Promo ircumstan-
ces that have since come to light it has been
rendered certain that the fire was the work of
an incendiary. Our firemen were soon upon
the spot and by their well directed efforts saved
a large amount of adjoining property from de-
struction.
Handsome Compliment. We understand that
several ladies of this city have authorised the
purchase of beautiful sword, as present to
Lieut.. Lawrence Dolan Of Capt. Piper's Com
pany of volunteers, who are in Washington
awaiting orders 10 march to the seat of war on
the Rio Grande. The sword has been pur-
chased by Capt. Richard Lilly, and will be for
mally presented to Lieut.. Dolan this morning
at the Barracks in Washington,
Fire from Matches. The alarm of fire
Yesterday morning, about halfpast o'clock,
was caused by the burning of some bed cloth
ing and furniture, in the dwelling of Mr.. T. J.
Warrington, in Bond, near Cough street. The
fire was confined to the room in which it origi-
mated, and was caused by some lucfer match
es with which the children had been playing.
The loss was about $500, on which there was
no insurance.
Serious accident. A little girl, about s years
of age, residing at No. q Harrison street,
yesterday morning fell off a balcony at the Sc
cond story, into the yard, injuring herself very
badly. A physician was called in who render
ed all the assistance in his power, and it is
hoped that nothing serious may result from it.
1t was wonder, falling such a distance, that
she was not killed,
Theft. The dwelling of Luther J. Cox, ESQ.,,
in Baltimore, near North street, was entered
yesterday about dinner time by some rogue,
and seven large silver table spoons, marked l..
M. c., and one marked X. carried off from the
dining room. A German, who entered the
house for the purpose of begging, is supposed
to have committed the act. Persons cannot be
too careful in watching their property, when
the numerous thieVing paupers who infest our
city, are prowlng about.

vention was further organized on Tuesday eve
ming by the election Of the following officers:
