Also, from said committee, a bill authori- zing the Mayor to have seven additional ballot-boxes constructed; pi -. > Also, a bill to divide into election precincts the several wards of the city, vis: ding the First Ward by Pennsylvania avenue, and making alljnorth of the avenue, Precinct No. lof the First Ward, and all south of the avenue Precinct No. 2 of the First Ward; dividing the Second Ward by H street north, and making all north of that street, Precinct No. lof the Second Ward, and all south Pre- cinct No 2 of the Second Ward; dividing the Third Ward by H street north, and making all north of that street, Precinct No. 1 of the Third Ward, and all soutb, Precinct No. 2 of the Third Ward; dividing the Fourth Ward by F street north, and making all north of that street Precinct No. 1 of the Fourth Ward, and all south, Precinct No 2 of the Fourth Ward; dividing the Fifth Ward by the line of Pennsylvania avenue, all north of the avenue making Precinct No. 1 of the Fifth Ward, and all south, Precinct No. 2 of the Fifth Ward; dividing the Sixth Ward by G street south, and the Seventh Ward by Seventh street west; passed.

Mr. Busey offered a resolution authorizing the Mayor to employ clerical aid; passed. Mr. Pearson, from claims committee, asked to be discharged from consideration of the pe- tition of James Powell; discharged.

Council bill for relief of Thomas McNaney, was referred toimprovements committee; also, to same committee, bill for repairing gutter across Eighth street north; also, bill for ading and gravelling H street west, between E and M streets north. Mr. Magruder called up the special order, the resolution in relation to the construction of a new centre market building Mr. Busey said he was not in favor of the resolution as it now read. The provision making it necessary to go to the people would delay the matter a whole year, which he thought needless Mr. B then eutered upon the — whether the market, if built, would pay the revenue expected, and pre- sented calculations going to show that the revenue would afford an annual excess of some tep thousand dollars over the interest upon the sum required to build the market. There would be 92 double or 184 single butcher stalls; 278 vegetable stalls; 6 market restaurants; 6 market stores, and a large market court for transient persons. Mr. B. expressed himself in favor ef going to Cengress without other delay, and moved to amend the resolution by striking out that part requiring the proposi- tion to be submitted to the people. = Mr. Houston said, that, with the view of testing the sense of the Board, he would move to lay the motion upon the table. Mr Pepper expressed himself in favor of Mr. Busey’s motion to strike out. With the sectional feeling? exhibited, he was not cer- tain that a two-thirds vote could be obtained for the proposition. if submitted to the people. Why not go to Congress at once, and ask power to issue stock? He had no doubt of the propriety of the motion to strike out; and as a friend of the bill should vote for the mo- tion. After some further debate, Mr. Houston withdrew his motion to lay upon the table. The question being taken, the proviso was stricken out. Mr. Houston thought this a summary mode of creating a debt. He was utterly opposed to this project of erecting a market-house and creating adebt. He would inquire what was the present annual revenue of the Centre Market? {Mr Busey answered about twelve thousand dollars | ell, this revenue would certainly be lost to the city, aad it was a rey- enue that could not be spared. Mr Busey said that if it was necessary to goto the people it could be done upon the issuing of stock for the erection of the market He contended that it would not cost the city a cent to build the market, and brought up fig- ures and calculations to sustain that position At the new Eastern and Western markets every stall commanded a higher premium than had been anticipated. Mr. Pepper didn’t believe that it would come upon the property-bolders of the city at all. Lhe project Pad received the approba- tion of some of the best practical business men of the city After further debate, the question upon the passage of the resolution was taken by ayes and noes and decided in the affirmative, as follows : Ayes—Mezsrs Tretler, Eva son and Clark. Nay—Mr Houston. The resolution as adopted is as follows : Be it resolved, &c.; That the committee representing the interests of the Corporation before Congress be, and they are hereby, in- structed to ask the passage of a law author- izing this Corporation to issue the stock of the to an amount not exceeding two fifty thousand dollars, at a rate of interest not exceeding six per cent., for the — of enabling it to erect a new building ‘or the Centre Market, upon the condition that the sales, leases, rents, &c., of said building be set apart for the payment of the interest, and the liquidation of the principal thereof, or an equal amount of the present outstanding six per cent. stock of the Corporation. Mr. Pepper, from the improvements com- mittee, reported a bill for the relief of Thos. McNaney ; passed. Mr Magruder presented the petition of Jno. Watts and others; referred to the improve- ments committee Mr. Magruder introduced a bill authorizing the Mayor to sign petitions in favor of paving streets upon which the Corporation owns prop- erty; passed Mr Pepper, from the improvements com- mittee, reported a bill favorable to the peti tion of John Watts, authorizing curb stone to be set and footway paved on the west side of ‘Twenty-second street, from F street north to Pennsylvania avenue ; passed A communication was received from the Mayor, asking for an appropriation to carry into effeet a contract made for the removal of slops ; referred to the finance committee. Mr Houston, from the finance committee, reported a bil! in accurdance with the request of the Mayor; which was passed. Mr. Bayly introduced a bill providing for the construction of a flagged footway across Thirteen-and-a-balf street, in the Second Ward ; paszed. And then the Board adjourned. Magruder, Bayly, Miller, , Emery, Pepper, Busey, Pear- Riotovs Coxpvct = Yesterday, Officer Cox arrested Isabella Penny, colored, for assault- ing various persons in the Seventh Ward, and for being drunk and disorderly.

Carvsi’s May Festiva —The May festi- vals of this year seem to have the luck of unpropitious weather; nevertheless, Carusi’s large saloon, on Friday ht, was graced with a large and fashionable assemblage of misses and masters, = and friends, and strangers temporarily in the city attracted hither by the charming display. The little May Queen was perfectly radiant, and she was most adequately supported Ke her maids of honor and troupe of fairy subjects. Mr. Carusi showed his usual fine taste in the pyra- midial grouping of the children upon the steps below the throne; in the artistic and pleasing arrangement of the delicate-colored draperies about the throne, and in the ar- rangement generally of the details of this eable festival. Weber’s fine band offi- ciated on the occasion. Tue Excuish Opera.—The Harrison and Pyne opera troupe must have been gratified with the cordial reception they met last night, upon their return to the ional boards. Balfe’s opera of ‘‘ The Bohemian Girl’’ was ven in brilliant style, as was anticipated. ‘o-night, the ever popular “ Cinderella’’ is to be performed, with all its exquisite music, scenic accompaniments, and magical trans- formations. We hear that among the future attractions which thé management have in store for us we may anticipate the personation of “ Fal- staff,” as given by Hackett, who has proba- bly no superior in this character. Seance For 4 Fuaitive.—Yesterday, Jus- tice Offutt examined a casein which Mr A. Lee was complainant and Mrs. Tippett de fendant. A colored girl had left the com- plainant, and suspecting that she was con- cealed at Mrs Tippett’s. a search warrant was issued ; and, upon searching the premises, the girl was found. The complainant declined to prosecute after hearing all the statements ; and the case was accordingly dismissed. Gone too Far.—An old gentleman named J Brady was arrested Poet! by Officer Wollard, for assaulting Frances Birch, a little girl of eight or nine years of age. The old gentleman was informed by Justice Smith that be had no right to whip another man’s children. If the children were tresspassing on his premi- seshe might use force sufficient to remove them, but to take ick and beat or whip them would be a violation of law. The justice or- dered him to give security for peace. Larceny Cases Disuissep.—Six persons were arrested on Sunday by Officer Wilson who were charged with the larceny of certain clothing. They were taken before Justice Rowland for trial. Three were so very young that the magistrate, by consent of parties, dis- missed them ; and they being too young to use as witnesses against the other prisoners, they, too, were dismissed for want of evidence.

A Carp.—In the letter of the correspondent of the New York Times, of the 19th inst., the following extract appears : ‘It is stated that Captain Darling, Door- keeper of the House, was knocked down last night by Senator Bright for insulting lan- guage.” In answer, I have to say, that the corres- dent (anindividual namedSimonton) when ¢ wrote that article, knew he was penning a malicious /ice. I have no acquaintance with Senator Bright, have had no difficulty what- ever with him, and never spoke a word to him in my life. The cause of Simonton’s malicious and sya- tematic libels on me is simply this, viz: He petitioned me to appoint a page for him (which I have not done,) when £ was first elected Doorkeeper of the House. He has subsequently repeatedly threatened that if I did not comply with his request “he would not rest until he had me removed.’’ I should not have deemed his slanders wor- thy of notice but for his connection of the name of Senator Bright with mine, as he has connected them.

The circuit court, JudgeJ. W. Tyler, opened its May term here yesterday, and throughout the day’s session the court houee was thronged. The grand jury ignored the indictment against Francie Hanraty-or the murder of his wife . and several criminal trials were set for various periods of the term Among the attorneys ea was our former fellow-citizen, Hon. I W. Davis, of Maryland A fire proof brick stable in the rear of the Methodist Protestant church, belonging to Jas. McGraw, was fired yesterday morning, and it was not without considerable effort, and after some damage to the interior fi , that the firemen were enabled to subdue the flames. Two runaway negroes, one the slave of Joshua Pierce of Montgomery, and the other belonging to Henry Douglass of Wash: % D C, were arrested on Sunday b: cer Chipley, and are now in jail avslting the claim of their owners. A large lot of real estate is offered for sale in front of the Mayor's office at noon to-day; and ve presume, the most of it will ch: ands. The approach of our county has de- veloped some strange things. The culvert it- self has been undermined ; and Know Noth- ingism caught in its own trap, falls in the cawp of its friends. It is amusing to see with whet wry faces our good friends of the First Ward Council, Second Ward Council, &c , swallow the dose compounded for them after the very newest Hindoo receipt, by the United Americans, in what the Sentinel calls the “‘miner tub.’’ By « skillful arrangement ot pty machinery the American party here has cen made into @ vast bellows to blow the & that one small smithy may keep its irons hot. Sam is but a gypsey at best, and finding his enemies too cute he needs must cheat his friends to keep his hand in. The fish wharf is almost deserted, few ves- sels comingup.
