Correspondence of The Star.


GEoRGETowN, Oct. IA, 1857.
The vote of our citizens. yesterday authorizing
our Corporation to subscribe S2CG to the stock
of the Alexandria, Loudon and Hampshire Rail-
road, was far more decisive tharlthe most ardent
friends Of the measure anticipated. There were
4s2 votes polled, 395 in favor of the project and
81 against II over four to one OF those who voted
being I'm favor OF the enterprise. The vote polled
however, ii will be seen, was a very small one,
much less than half the number polled at the last
general election. Had the entire vote of the town
been cast, we do not believe that the result would
have been materially changed.
The residence Of our fellow citizen, L. Wheat
ley, Esq, was thronged last night by brilliant
party Of invited guests to participate in the pleas
ing ceremony of uniting pair of loving hearts
in the sacred ties Of wedlock. The happy cou.
pie were Mr.. Taylor, Of Cumberland, Md, and
before mentioned gentleman of our city. The
Rev. b. A. Brown, of the NJ. f.. Church, OFF,
ciated on the occasion
The major portion of the buildings of our fell
low-citizea, Mr.. James =. Cathcart situated in
the First Ward Of your city, and known as the
Rock Creek Foundry, was consumed by fire on
Monday night. There is no doubt the fire was
the work Of an incendiary MIR Csthcart,s loss
will be very considerable, as we learn he had no
insurance upon it,
Our river wharves, this morning, are pretty
well thronged with shipping-receiving and dis
charging various kinds Of cargo
The brig Andover, Crowell, Of the Messrs
Hartley's line of Boston packets, reached her
wharf yesterday.
There is hanging, in the counting room Of w
H Edes. Esq, on later street, two ears of corn
grown near Tenally Town, upon the farm Of Mr..
;. Burrows, one OF which is 14h inches long,
and contains ci0 grains.
