Mr. Boblayer presented a petition from several citizens of the Fifth Ward, asking for pavements in front of certain squares; referred to improvements committee. Mr. Lloyd presented a report from the ways and means committee, in relation to an ap- lication to Congress for power to lay and col- ject certain duties and port charges. The yeas days were demanded upon a third reading of the joint resolution, when The farther .consideration of the report was postponed to next Mond A joint resolution w: resented by Mr Turton, authorizing the Mayor to have the gutter on the east side of Fourteenth street west, between H and [ streets, taken up and relaid. Mr. AtLee introduced a bill for the relief of Jesse Williams; passed. A petition was presented from J.

Holmes in relation to steam fire-engines ; re- ferred to the fire department committee. A report was received and read from the Commissioner of the Canal. Mr. AtLee moved that a committee be ap- pointed to inform the Board of Aldermen that this Bosrd was ready to meet them in joint meeting for an election of a police magistrate for the Sixth Ward Mr Jefferson moved an adjournment, and asked the yeas and nays upon his motion; which, being ordered, resulted—yeaa 4, nays 15 The motion of Mr. AtLee was then adopted, and Messrs AtLee and Abert were appointed and performed the duty. The report of the Commissioner of the Ca- nal was referred to the canal committee. A joint resolution fixing the grade of G street north, between Twenty first and Twen- ty sixth streets west. was referred to the del- egation from the First Ward and the City Surveyor. An invitation was received from the Com- missioners of the Asylum to the Board of Com- mon Council to visit that institution on Fri- day evening, the llth inst., at four o’clock ; accepted. The Board then proceeded to the Aldermen’s chamber, and having there, in joint meeting, elected a police magistrate for the Sixth Ward, returned to the Council chamber, and imme- diately after adjourned Paropr's “La Marsgricatse.”’—Among the pieces which will be performed on Tue:day evening, our readers will observe ‘‘ La Mar- seillaise,”’ the celebrated French National liymn. The following is the remark of a Philadelphia critic after Parodi sang La Mar- seillaise : * But as to the great mass of the audience, it was evident that the ‘Mareeillaise,’ the hymn of liberty, was the great attraction. Amply were they rewarded. Sogrand and thrilling a piece of musical declamation never before was listened to Art, liberty, patriot- ism, beauty, all united their enchantment in one witching spell It was an occasion never to be forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to be present. The gentlemen rose and cheered—the ladies waved their handkerchiefs and added their ‘most sweet voices’ to the applause; while the artist herself, with her classic Roman head and self-posseseed manner, seemed the very Genius of Liberty.” Supers axp Costty Jewetry ro ae Rar- FLeD —A stock of magnificent jewelry, of tome $18,000 value, and which, being too valuable to be otherwise sold in this country, it is designed to dispose of by raffle, has just been opened at No. 420 Pennsylvania avenue, by the eminent dealer in jewelry, Mr A. Andrews, so widely and a known in New York and California. e have only space to announce the fact to-day, and shall speak of it more particularly here- after. The eminence and respectability of the gentlemen who vouch for Mr. Andrews isa guarantee of the fair and satisfactory manner in which the raffle will be conducted. Tae Cinccs —The sports of the ring have long been the popular amusement of the peo- ple, and the concentration of extraordinary talent has made tke circus here for several days past, as fashionable as it is popular. The prizes and the celebrity that will neces- sarily accrue to the victor, has brought to- gether a body of geniuses, that could in no other way probably be induced to assemble from different portions of the United States There can be no question that Robinson and Hernandez are the best riders, Magilton, Dun- bar, Donaldson, Omar, and Libby, the best masts, Kendall the best bugler, and Puss orner the best clown, that are extant. Frne.—Yesterday a fire broke out in the tow of buildings on Eighth, near 0 street. The buildings were considerably damaged be- fore the fire was extinguished About 1 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the ruins; an alarm was given, and the com- panies called out, but there was no necessity for bard labor to prevent danger ts other pro- perty. The property belonged to Messrs Queen and Lazenby The firemen were out promptly, and deserved credit. The alarm given at an early hour in the night caused a turn out of firemen, who returned quietly to their homes, after a short run, with their ap- paratas. Supreme Covet —Yesterday—No. 53. Geo. C. Dodge vs. John M. Woolsey. Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Ohio. Mr. Justice Wayne deliver- ed the opinion of the court. affirming the de- cree of the said Circuit Court in this cause, with costs. No 77 and 78. Arguello et al., claimants and appellants, vs. the United States, and the United States, appellants, vs. Arguello et al.

Virrio: Terowers.—These dastardl: creaats have made their appearance in Wash- ington, and have commenced operations hy throwing vitriol or some destructive fiuid up- on the silk dresses of two young ladies, on the way between Pennsylvania avenue and Odd Fellows’ Hall.

Cova? or Crams —Yesterday, the argu- Ment on the facts in the case of Gibbons and ellyws the United States was resumed by the Bolicitor. who eccupied the time of the — until three o'clock ; when they adjourn. Tux Farn for the benefit of St Vincent's Orphan Asylum is in successful operation at Carusi’e Saloon. A mbre extended notice is Sctowded out to-day by press of matter. Starting Metons —Just at this time the following mode of planting melons, recom- mended at the last meeting of the American Institute Farmers Club, New York, will be of interest to our readers. Pill wicker baskets (old champagne baskets are very suitable) with garden mold, and keep the baskets in a warm room until the weather is warm, and then set the baskets in holes dug for the purpose. The roots then will extend themselves through the basket and grow as well as though originally planted where they stand. In this way various plants may be brought forward much earlier than when planted in open ground. The germination of seeds may also be has- tened. Seeds have been rapidly germinated in masees moistened with lime-water. Tae New Macistrare.—We are informed that S S. Briggs, ce , the newly elected po- lice Justice of the Sixth district, will enter upon the discharge of his duties to-day. The Sixth district is composed of a very peaceable and law-abiding portion of our citizens. In- duatrious and intelligent, they have neither time nor disposition to enter into law suits or low rowdyism. Their difficulties are easily quieted by themselves, without troubling the officers of the law. We predict an easy term for the new officer Fisnrxe.—There is a prospect now of an excellent and profitable season. The fisher- men are in fine spirits. and still employing hands, anticipating a short season and very heavy hauls. Yesterday, about four hundred thousand herrings were taken to Alexandria for sale. The work will not commence at some of the landings until Monday, when all the seines may be expected to be in use. Cavtion.—Our merchants are growing more cautious since the late burglaries in this city and Alexandria. It would be well for them to continue their care for some time; the old party has only scattered to divide spoils, and their places have been supplied by another ne — ” of the same “ covey ”’ who arrived in this city Monday evening at seven o’clock. Accipent.—Monday last, Mr. Charles W. Lambdin, foreman of Mr. Thomas Young coach, factory, was very seriously injured by falling through the hatchway in the fourth story of the main building to the lower floor. Yesterday, he was living, but the extent of his injuries was imperfectly known. Warca Returns —This morning about two o’clock, officer Busher assisted by the Guards in the Fifth Ward, arrested Thos. Fitzgerald, Eugene Lynch, Ed. Fitzgerald, and Julia Fitzgerald, for riot and disturbing the peace The case was examined at the Central guard house this morning by Capt. Birch and Jus- tice Morsell. Ed. Fitzgerald was dismissed, and the others held to bail to answer for their conduct. There were three lodgers ac- commodated. One of them, Elias Robbins, seventy-seven years of age, is a sober look- ing man; says he was with Commodore De- catur in some of his most perilous conflicts, and his reason for applying at the guard house for relief is extreme poverty. lt is very gery to see those veterans who have @One their duty in the country’s service cast away in their old age. Sunday night, Ann Cahoe and Susan Mat- tingly were taken by the Guard and confined in the Eastern watch house. They are old offenders, were armed with a well loaded pis- tol or gin bottle, and they have been returned to their old stations at the workhouse. | ADVERTISEMENT, Bap Coat axp tHe Gas Company.—A great discovery seems to have been made recently by a gentleman who signs his name “‘ Wm Cartwright, Superintendent Gas Light Co ;” and that is, that the “exposure of coal to the weather deprives it of its ordinary strength.” I have always supposed that it was neat that deprived coal of its ordinary strength, but it remained for this xew Solomon to ascertain, in his wispom, that it is the weather! [am left in wonder as to how coal is, after this wonderful discovery, ever to be dug out, and transported without being exposed. I won- der if it will have to be boxed or done up in sealed packaces When the ‘Gas’ fails some excuse must be found; that’s a matter ofcourse. A writer in yesterday’s Star (evi- dently a stockholder) backs up the aforesaid “Solomon” in his preposterous idea that the very high priced coal the Company has been using was affected by the weather. Again, the same writer proposes as a second excuse, that the “high winds that have blown for several days without cessation,” from one quarter, (which, by the way, was northwest,) paresis the chimney — which is 75 or 85 feet igh—from drawing! This idea is in perfect keeping with the one advanced by the above **Solomon,’’ but to any rational’ man about sad pee Why it is that in Georgetown and Alexandria, where the works are built upon the banks of the Potomac, the winds do not effect their chimneys, and prevent a dis- tribution of Gas to the consumer, let Mr Stockholder answer. This morning's Intelli- gencer brings us another notice from “ Solo- mon” ‘that he has formed the flues to be stop- ee up, and consequently consumers need not lepend entirely upon their supply of Gas for the present week.”” We would inform Solo- mon that the notice was unnecessary, as we have not (I speak for the consumers generally when I say we) for a month past Rocendel for light upon the Gas Company, but have on every night [ahd ourselves with good old-fashioned ‘‘ fats,’ depending more in them than in the Gas Company We shall look every day for another pronunciamento from “Solomon’’ that the GASomeTeR has col- * soyeee Neighbors, look out. arch , [ADVERTISEMENT. 8th, 1856 Gas Acain —It gives us pigseexe to state, as well for our own as the public convenience (which, of course, is identical,) that the quan tity of gas last night was abundant and the quality excellent. For the first time in seven years the supply of gas in this city has been inadequate to the demand, and we ®re assured that a similar mishap will not after this week occur again for another sep- tennial, if human foresight can prevent it Now, Messrs. Directors, is the time to reduce the price of gas. it ——q—___ Drs. Hunter & Williams, : Physicians for Diseases of the Lungs, 52 North Charles street, Baltimore. The practice of Drs. Hunter & WILtiAus is confined exclusively to the treatment of Chronic Diseases of the Throat and Lungs by Medicated inhalation, and the success that has attended their labors is sufficiently well known. It has demonstrated not only that Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh and Granular Sore Throat may be pomeneetly, cured but that Consumption in all its stages is a curable disease, and that the direct application of remedies, by means of inhalation, to the seat of the malady, instead of giving them by the stomach, (always overtaxed and delicate in these diseases,) must hereafter be regarded by the profession as the only rational and scien- tific mode of treatment.
