eel LOCAL GENCE. Taz Boarp or ALveRMEN was called to order a few minutes past 7 o'clock; President Clark in the chair. Tho reading of the pro- ceedings was dispensed with. — A communication was received from the Mayor, transmitting a report from Luspector of Fire apparatus for the month of January ; reforred to the fire department committee Also, one transmitting information in rela- tion to rules and regulations of the Washing- ton Asylum ; referred to Asylum committee An amendment by the lower Board to the sresolution in relation to gas lighta, and which instructs the committee representing the in- terests of the Corporation before Congress to urge upon that body an appropriation for gas lights, from the Capitol to Massachusetts avenue, and from Massachusetts avenue to Twelfth street, was concurred in. A bill from the Common Council, for repair- ing the roof of the City Hall, was re‘erred to the finance committee. Mr Houston presented a resolution instruct- ing the committee before Congress to urge the passage of a bill authorizing limited partner- — > adopted ir. Busey, from the police committee, asked to be discharged from the further considera- tion of the petition of @. T Massey ; and the committee wae discharged. Mr. Busey offered a resolption instructing the committee appointed to represent the in- terests of the Corporation before Congress to urge the giving additional powers to the Cor- a to enable it to regulate the sale of lottery tickets; carried. Mr. Emery offered a resolution making an *ppropriation of one thousand dollars out of the general fund for the purchase of fuel for the poor, to be distributed under the diree- tion of the Mayor. Mr Houston opposed the resolution—in the former appropriation while some few received aid who needed it, a great many received it who did not. Mr. Emery urged tho great nec ity for Something to bedone. There never was a time in the histery ot the Corporation when the necessity was so great. Continual appli- cations for relief were being made to himecif and others. He thought the Corporation ought to bear its share. r. Baily hoped the resolution would pass. He thought it the most equitable manner in which relief could be afforded. Mr. Pepper said that during thirty-six years residence in this city he had never before seen 80 much distress. He thought this the best mode of affurding relief, being an indirect con- tribution of property holders generally. The poor were now starving and perishing, and he was decidedly in favor of doing everything that could be done. _Mr. Houston said he paid taxes pretty hea- vily in every way. He did not claim a large amount of benevolence, still he contributed what he could, but he did not give away other People’s money. He did not feel at liberty to vote away the funds of his constituents, ex- cept for a strictly legitimate purpose. The taxes were not raised fur the support of the r Mr. Smith expresced himself decidedly in favor of helping the poor, if it took the last dollar in the treasury. It was very well for those who had warm fires to sit by to talk about voting away the people money; but could they see the instances of distress and suffering now to be witnessed, they would think differentl¥ He was aware that there was a good deal of complaint in regard to the manner of distributing the last thousand dol- lars worth of wood, and he would pro an amendment to the reso'ution t money be expended under the direction of a committee of one member from each Ward Mr Dove propesed as an emendment that the committee should consist of two citizens from each Ward. Mr. Pepper in reply to the gentleman from the Fifth Ward. (Mr. Houston) said that he did not believe there was a single man in the Ward he represented—the Fourth—but would censure him if he failed to vote to relieve the poor, and if there was, he would vote for this resolution if he never set foct in that chamber in. The amendment was adopted and the reso Yation carried Mr. Busey asked to have the bill taken up in relation to the butcher stalls in Centre Market Mr. Magruder thought it hardly worth while to disturb the regulations of this Market in its present miserable condition, especially as anew Market was contemplated. Mr. Miller offered a resolution in relation to the removal of night soil, which was adopted Mr. Smith presented ‘the petition of John Agnew, of Philadelphia, praying the payment of a bill for work done upon the Northern Liberties Engine House; referred to tis finance committee And then the Board adjourned. Scnoon Case mentioned in last ue, was investigated yesterday afternoon, before Messrs. At Lee and Wheeler, of the Fourth District sub-board. The charge made against the teacher was ‘ mal-adminis- tration in discipli ’ and after hearing the Statement of the complainant, the teacher, and sundry witnesses, (pupile,) the sub-board unanimously sustained the teacher, and con- firmed the suspension of the pupil, originally made by the principal of the school. The Trustee who preferred the charge, disclaimed any offcial interference in the matter, or any desire to interrupt the discipline of the school, and at the same time, substantially admitted the justice of the sub-board’s decision. The case was conducted with unexceptionable fair- ness towards all parties, and the “ moral’’ conveyed in its trifling history is, never con- demn on ¢z-parte evidence, or in other words, “* hear all sides,’ especially in the case of a échool-boys version of his own misdeeds.

F Licur Wastep !—For the purpose of veri- fying the charge made by a correspondent in Yesterday's Star, we traversed the west end of Pennsylvania avenue yesterday evening And we can positively state, from actual count, that not over one-third of the lamps between the White House and Rock Creek had been lighted. Now, did the Gas Company charge for a full supply of light?

Indeed it would be strange were it otherwise, where the managers have exert- ed themselves so zealously, and where those who attend have an opportunity of making an ewening’s enjoyment to themselves, afford ay and sustenance to many a poor shivering soul. Tae Surrerina Poor.—We learn that the visiting and distributing committee in the northern part of the city, find a great deal of distress and privation even among families who are usually in comfortable circumstances, and who are now too high-spirited to make knowntheir wants. Several bencvolent ladies in that part of the city havewaken the matter in hand, and notwithstanding the terrible se- verity of the weather are making their way frem door to door in the prosecution of their charitable mission. Concert or Sacrgp Music.—We speak un- derstandingly, from a knowledge of the per- formers secured, and of their capabilities, when we sag that the Concert of the Wesley Chapel Choir, to-night, “assisted by several of the most talented Professors and C! oristers, of Baltimore and Washington,” will afford a treat to the lovers of sacred music such as is not often offered. —— Tue Taeartre remains closed this week, but next week we are to see the charming Misses Denin, and then the Naiad Queen, with its bewitching army of Amazons, its grand ta- bleaux, and the pumorous Jefferson as “ Schnapps.’’ TEMPERATURE.—We are again indebted to our Georgetown friend for notes of the tem- perature last evening and to-day, as follows Yesterday, at 8 p.m 12° above sero.

Gzoraztown, Feb. 5, 1856. Our municipal election, which comes off on the 25th inst., is beginning to attract consid- erable attention. Hitherto both parties have kept shady. No nominations have, as yet, appeared before the public. The Know Noth- ings, we learn, contemplate having two planks in their platform—an inside one for thenisel ves to stand upon, and an outside one for the un- initiated. The outside one will be the death- plank to all who are verdant enough to suffer themselves to be coaxed upon it. The Know Nothings promise all who may get upon it that they will stand fast upon the innor end and see them safe over; but their real intention is, that as soon as they succeed in getting them on, if any are seft enough to trust them, to step off and leave them to find bottom where they can. Verhum sap. Winter, with his chemical} dioramas, at For- rest Hall is completely captivating our citi- zenz. Notwithstanding the extreme teverity of tho weather, the nightly attendance is large, and all are loud in their praises of this t wonderful ter piece of art. Every ono ought to gee it. Some of the views, specially the Miland Cathedral, is superlati ly grand. Owing to the weather, every thing in the shape of a thoroughfare being either blocked up by ice, or in bad passable condition, busi- uess continues dull. As yet there does not appear the slightest sign of any modification in the cold. The flour and grain market is very unsettled: flour is quoted at $8 25aS8 50, demand limited to home consumption.
