~ LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Pe eenasctias reat Acasa Seca ser= reer Boar or AtDeRMEN.—The Board met at the usual hour, the President, Mr. Clark, in the chair; eight members present. A communication was received from the Mayor, announcing his having signed various bills. The Chair then announced that petitions were in order from different wards. Mr. Pepper presented a petition from 8. B. Stewart, in relation to sewers; referred to Second Ward delegation. Also, one from Jonas P. Levy ; referred to lice committee. Also, from Francis Wheatley, in reference to paving alley in square 517; referred to im- provements committee. Mr. Emery presented a petition from A. Hurdle; referred to finance committee. Mr. Houston presented a petition from Wm. Aikin and others; refe to improvements committee. Mr. Pearson, from claims committee, re- rted back without amendment, a bill for the relief of Je:se Williams; passed. Mr Busey, from the ial committee to whom was referred the bill regulating the sale of poisons, reported a substitute, which Mr. B. said met the views of the Apothecaries’ Association ; passed. : Mr. Busey, from the police committee, pre- sented a resolution authorizing the Mayor to offer a reward of five hundred dollars for the apprehension and conviction of Washington Naylor, who was arrested for burglary, ad- mitted to bail by Justice Birch, and has es- caped. ke Miller offered an amendment, instruct- ing the Mayor to investigate the circumstances of Naylor's discharge. Mr. Busey hoped the gentleman would with- draw his amendment. He was in favor of a strict investigation, but thought it should be carried on by the Council. Mr. Milier inquired if the Mayor had not the power to appoint or remove the Captain of the Auxilary Guard’? If so, he had the power to investigate the matter, and was the roper person. Mr. Deny urged that the Mayor, as having the appointing power, was not the proper per- son to have charge of the investigation. e Counc'l Boards were impartial tribunals, and before one or the other Loard the investiga- tion should be conducted. Mr. Busey proceeded to speak of the differ- ent statements published in regard to the matter. Mr. Birch’s card instead of relieving him, had impressed him (Mr. Busey) with the idea that there was something wrong about the matter. Thecard had made a very un- favorable impression upon hismind. He pro- ceeded to read some statements of the card which he thought contradictory. Mr. Miller withdrew his amendment and the resolution of Mr. Busey was adopted. Mr. Pepper offered bill for paving alley in square sit, which was }:assed. Mr. Houston, from finance committee, re- ported a bill making ——— for cleans- ing alleys in various wards of the city; passed Also, for the relief of Mathew Trimble and Thomas Bain. A lengthy debate followed when, upon motion of Mr. Marks, the bill was laid upon the table. Mr. Pepper, from canal committee, reported a bill making an appro ripation of six hundred doliars to repair breakage in canal wall at Twelfth street; passed Mr. Pepper. from improvements committee, reported a bill authorizing curbstone set and footway paved on east front of square 353; passed. Also, one authorizing the construction of a resorvoir corner of C street south, and Thir- teenth street west; referred to improvements committee. Council resolution authorising gutter on Fourteenth street west, between H and I north, to be taken up and relaid, was referred to improvements committee. Council bill for the relief of B. W. P. Bal- main was passed Aconcurrent resolution, grading G@ street north, between Twenty-first and Twenty-sixth streets west, was referred to Second Ward delegation. ill for the relief of John W. Stevens was assed Mr Busey, from police committee, intro- duced a resolution instructing the police com- mittee to inquire into the circumstances re- lative to the arrest and admission to bail of Washington Naylor by the Captain of the Auxiliary Guard. Mr Miller offered a substitute instructing the Mayor to institute a critical examination into the circumstances which led to the dis- charge, upon insufficient bail, of Washington Naylor, charged with being concerned in sun- dry burglaries and other criminal offences, and if, upon fair and impartial examination, it should appear that the Captain of the Aux- iliary Guard, or any other officer appointed by the Mayor, now in the employment of the Cer- poration, connived at, cr was in any manner accessory to the escape of said Naylor, or that the said Naylor escaped from any remissness or neglect of the Captain of the Auxiliary Guard or other officers in the employment of the Corporation, or if the Captain of Auxilia- ry Guard admitted said Naylor to bail know- ingly or wittingly, or without having properly intormed himself of the character or suffi- ciency of the bail offered for the appearance of said Naylor, the Mayor be, and is hereby requested to take the necessary steps to have the said Captain of the Auxiliary Guard and others to be discharged from the position which they may hold under the Corporation or appointment from the Mayor. Mr. Miller stated that he had just had an interview with the Mayor, who informed him that witnesses had been examined and an in- Vestigation cf the matter entered upon. The Mayor, the Corporation Attorney, and the Dis- trict Attorney were now investigating it. Mr. Smith was opposed to prescribing what the Mayor should do. The Mayor would very naturally act according to the evidence be- fore him. The substitute would prejudge Mr. Birch without trial. Letus ied like men possessing that most beautiful attribute— charity ; and if we find him derelict in duty make an example of him Mr. Birch had hitherto maintained an unblemished reputa- tion in this commanity. Mr. Miller said he did not design to argue the question. He thought the Council had no control in the matter. The captain of the Auxiliary Guard was not confirmed by them, and he might refuse to appear before the police committee. r. Pe said if the Board had nothing to do with it why meddle with it at all? He believed the Board had all todo withit. The only difference between that officer and those made by the Board was that he was paid by the United States. He thought there was something about the matter which should be looked in Mr. Dove explained why he should vote against the substitute. The resoluti-. of the police committee had received bis consent be- fore being reported, and he could mot now con- sistently do otherwise than sustain the resolu- on mith stated that from his knowledge pain Bireh, he had no doubt he would cheerfully appear before the police committee 4ir. Houston said it was due to that officer, dus to the committee, and due to the commu- atthe subject should be investigated ed to the substitute as pre-supposing ‘hat the Mayor would not do his duty. Mr. Miller expressed himself as indifferent about the adoption of the substitute since he ‘earned that the Mayor had taken the matter up After some further debate the substitute bon rejected, and the resolution of Mr. Busey adopted. Council bill fur the relief ot B. K. Morsell Ws referred to claims committee. Mr. Clarke presented an amendment to the Fules prescribing the order in which reports from committees should be received; which was adopted Mr Miller offered a bill for repairing pave- Wents in square 254; passed. Mr. Dove presented a communication from the Western Commahainiaae of Canals, in refer- *uce to Seventeenth street wharf; referred. Mr Bayly offered « resolution requesting the Mayor to report the bank accounts of the Corporation ; adopted. The Board then adjourned Caxtzz Marker —The principal market vpeued this morning with a much smaller show ‘san usual. This was probably caused by the prospect for rain last night.

Obio GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Gmorertown, April 15, 1855, We understand that the manner in which the work has been conducted upon the Wash- ington aqueduct, under the direction of Capt Meigs, and the progress which has been made, gave universal satisfaction to those members of Congress who made an excursion to the premises on Saturday last. Even some who have heretofore been rather indifferent in re- gard to this great and important improvement, give it as their opinion, after havii surveyed progress wilh has already vee made, that it ought not to be in consequence of a want of means to forward. The excursion was made the beautiful and popular canal C.
