Mr. _—? reported, from the committee on unfinished business, a bill amenda of an act entitled “An act to organize a police sys- stem for the city of Washington,” approved March 11, 1851; referred to the police com- mittee. Mr. Pepper reported, from the improvements ; committee, a bill to grade and pave the alley in square 529; passed. The lower Board’s joint resolution, changing the location of the Western Market, and lo- cating it on K street north, between Eighteenth ‘< MEnp our Ways ’’—Mr. Editor; Being obliged to pass Maryland avenue.(whatis gen- erally called the Bjadensburg road) daily, we have to say that the part of it which lies be- tween Sixth and Twelfth streets cast, is at Present in an awful condition—the road being extremely narrow, and bounded by ditches on each side, makes it a ‘hard road to travel.’’ For instance, one carriage attempting to pass another is generally precipitated down one of those ditches or banks. this, we have scen several instances. One of these ditches ex- tends about fifty yards on one side of the read, and is at least seven feet deep. We saw an accident no less than one week ago, in which a wagon, drawn by foar horses, laden with pro- duce, fae with a buggy, were thrown into this ditch. The wagon and occupants of the same got off as well as could be expected, but the buggy was smashed to atoms. Now, this was a severe loss to the owner, but we were thankful it was no worse, for it was the most harrow escape we ever noticed. This is only one of those numerous accidents on that road. Now, Mr. Editor, our object in stating these facts, is first, to forewarn passers over that road; and second, to call the imme- diate attention of the corporate authorities, who have never yet done anything to remedy this evil, notwithstanding sundry complaints. But in the name of justice to the tax-payers of that portion of the city, it ought to be done forthwith, and we hope the city councils will take the matter into consideration, and make some provision for the much needed repair of that truly awful road. It would be but proper to relate to you that, prior to the recent mu- nicipal election, it was understood that they were to repair that road immediately; subge- ight see the prudenco and foresight in ing each a resolution at this time. It did not refleet upon the judges of the late election at all. It is a fair resolution, and as much to be desired by the majority as the minority. . Messrs. Walker and Clements thought that had already interfered too much for us. The motion to strike out prevailed by a strict party vote—yeas 15, nays 6. Mr. Clements moved to strike out of the first resolution the provision for two election pre- cincts in each Ward, stating that he would vote to establish another Ward in the city, but did not wish to open an avenue for ‘double voting.”’ Mr. Jefferson replied that it was working well in New York where they are eminently practical, and no more double voting could be done then than now, in going from one Ward to another, the poll iist being made out for each precinct. — After some discussion, Mr. Clement’s motion was lost—yeas 10, nays 11. The resolution was then passed and the Board adjourned. Tae Western Pressyrerian Cuvrcn, dedicated on Sunday last, is situated between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets on H street. The session room, where the services were celebrated, was beatifully fitted up for the occasion. The pastor, the Rev. Mr. Haskell, preached the morning discourse, from Isaiah, chapter 64, verse LI—“Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee.’ In the afternoon, the Rev Byron Sunderland discoursed from Nehemiah, chap- ter 2, verse 18, the latter clause—“ let us rise up and build: So they strengthened their and Nineteenth streets west, in the First Ward | hands for the good work.’’ At night, the Rev, | quently we have heard no more of it: was passed. Mr. Haskell delivered an eloquent sermon from | Yours, TRAVELLER OVER On motion of Mr. Bayly, Mr Ten Eyck had | the book of Kevelations, ¢ japter 4, verse 18, taat Roan, latter clause: ‘‘Holy, holy Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.’’ Acollec- tion was taken up both in the forenoon and in the evening; but, we regret to say, the amount contributed was small. Though the membership comprises few per- sous—the enterprise being of comparative recent date—there is a good prospect of build- ing up al congregation in that partof the city in which the church is loeated. leave to have a copy of his papers which were before the at its last session. Mr. Emery reported, from the committee on unfinished business, the petition of Francis B. ‘Lord, commissioner of the Third and Fourth ‘Warus; referred to the finance committee. Mr. Evans re’ , from the committee on ‘elections, that Samuel C. Busey is entitled to seat as a member of this Board. Mr. E. also moved to lay the said report on the table until next meeting, to afford the gentleman of the committee who did not agree t the repor’s an opportunitysto make the mi- nerity report he designed making. Mr. Houston was opposed to any delay in acting on this report. He could see no good Yeasons for it. Mr. Eyans explained that this motion was in accordance witlran ment in the commit- tee, whereby it was determined to make this Teport now, and to leave the matter lay over for a week, to enable Mr. Miller to make his report. r. Miller explained that his objections to action on this report arose from the fact that he, amember of the committee, had not been allowed to have such access as he desired to the papers in the case until after they should be returned with the report. Report laid over for one week; yeas 7, nays 5; as follows: Yeas—Magruder, Bayly, Miller, Evans. Bu- sey, Marks, Pearson. Nays—Tretler, Pepper, Emery, Houston, Smith. Mr. Houston moved to make the subject of these contested elections the special order for —- next; agreed to. Mr. Bayly moved that the minority of the committee have the free use of the papers which were before the said (election) commit- tee in this Fifth Ward case. Mr. Houston opposed this motion, on the ground that the original popes should not be allowed to go from the custody of the secretary of the board. Mr. Busey desired to refer, as a member of the-Board, to these papers, and therefore was opposed to letting the originals go out of the the custedy of the xcretary. Mr. Bayly then modified his motion so that it should direct the clerk of the election com- mittee t>furvish such copies of the papers inthe contested election casc, as any member of the might require; agreed to. The lower board ’s bill authorizing the curb- Stones to be set and the foctway paved on the east cide of 19th street, west, mC to #treets, north; passed. Mr. Pearson remarked that a majority of —- (the two Know Nothings on it— Ed.) had voted that their investigations should be private; so he hoped that that obligation would be duly observed with reference to these R rs, until the subject matter came duly fore the board on Monday next. The Board then adjourned. Common Council—Several petitions were presented by Messrs. Abert, Clements, Walker and Peters, and appropriately referred. Mr. Clements reported a bill to change the site selected for the Western Market to one a square further west; and stated in support of . the bill that the present one would cust the city $1,500 more than the one proposed, and that no citizen in the vicinity would be injured by the change. The bill passed. Mr. Clements from the ways and means com- mittee, reported the usual bill making the ap- riations to pay the expenses of the city Em he current fiscal year, and moved that it be printed. Laid on the table, and made the special order for Monday, and from day to day until it be disposed of ; which was agrced to. Mr. Walker, from the committee on improve- ments, reported a bill to pave the footway on L street north, between Twelfth and Twenty- fifth streets west; also, one to pave the foot- way on M street, from New York avenue to Boundary street; which were passed. Mr. Bail, from the committee on unfinished business, reported three bills, which had been by the former Board of Alderman: the rst, authorizing the delegation from the Sec- ond Ward to purchase a site for the Franklin Fire Company to locate their engine house. was referred to the fire department com- mittee ; the second, relating to horse racks and other obstructions in the streets, was refegred » to the police committee; and the third, to pave Pickpockets 1x Tae Market.—Mrs. J. the footway and set curbstones on Nineteenth | qowles had a portmonnaic containing several : street, from C to H streets, was passed 0) ‘ cket while attendi Mr.’ Ruff, from the police ¢ ee, 1 dollars, stolen from her pocket while attending ‘ PERSONAL. +-Twoor three years since the Garde La- fayette of New York adopted the daughter of one of its members who had died, leaving her without friends or support. At the military procession on the 4th, this young girl, dressed in colors to correspond with the uniform of the French soldiers, appeared with the Garde, marching by the side of one of the officers. She attracted much attention. «++-Dr. William Terrill, well known, noton- ly as an enlightened agriculturalist, but as one of the wealthiest and most public-spirited citizens of Georgia, died at his residence in Sparta, Hancock county, Georgia, on the mor- ning of the fourth of July. +++eGen.

Morse, of Louisi- ana, is also at Willard’ Tue Fireworxs.—In accordance with pre- Vous notice, the fireworks prepared for tke iourth of July, but the ignition of which was postponed owing to the rainy weather, were * touched off’’ last night. “Thousands upon thousands of tators—men, women, and children—were in attendance, on the Wash- ington National Monument grounds, in the vicinity of the President’s house and the Treas- ury Department, and other localities; but the best point of view was the first named place. From elevated positions in Georgetown, the ie enjoyed a tolerably good view of the ex- ibition. The injury to the fireworks by the rain, on the fourth instant, was much greater than it was anticipated. However, those pieecs which were not thus affected were truly gor- geous and delight-inspiring, especially the showers of rockets, the marron batteries, and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. . : Wuirred.—Jack Holloman, one of the three who were concerned in the attack on Butler, which resulted in those dreadful wounds upon his face and tongue, was taken from the county jail at eleven o'clock last night and conveyed to the watch house, where he received his re- ward for the improper conduct. Jack being a slave, the justice was obliged by the law to order him to be whipped, and the excellent character which he has always sustained ct him off with fifteen stripes on the bare back; a licht punishment, considering the offence with which he was connected. Tasker, the other one arrested with Jack, and who is charged with inflicting the wound, is stillin prison, and would doubtless be glad to escape with fifteen lashes; but being free, has to receive his re- ward from the criminal court. Tae Inxptaxs, to whom we alluded yester- day, are of the Kaw tribe, of Kansas Territo- ry, who came hither for a ** big heap of money to carry home,’’ and to have one of the num- ber made ‘a big chief, with a military coat and epaulets, a horse, bridle, spurs, and a pair {of saddle-bags.’’ The acting commissioner, Mr. Mix, did all that lay in his power, telling them that he would give them a paper to their father, the agent, to take home with them; that their Great Father would pay their ex- penses this time, but they must not come again without being sent for. The Indians were not particularly pleased at the refusal to comply with their unreasonable request. ; WANTS.

Loox Ovr.—One of our city officers informed us this morning, that there are white persons in this city who are ready to pass other people’s slaves out of the city without authority. Those who have control of the roads are probably deceived at times by black persons. A case of the kind has recently occurred. If the case goes to court, the evidence will be inter- esting to slavyeholders here.

At half-past seven, three guns were fired, in, it is supposed, the neighborhood the Capitol, by individuals evidently bent on sport—not by authority of the gentleman Lethe] direction of the fireworks.
