Acperwr.—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. Petitions were presented and appropriately referred. Mr Pepper, from improvements committee, reported back, without amendment, a bill providing for paving footways in squares 483, 515, 526, amd 558; passed. Mr. Pepper, from improvements committee, reported a bill providing for grading and gtaveling Eleventh street west, between K and M streets North ; passed. Also, = bill providing for paving of gutter across H street on the east side of Twenty- Third street west ; passed. Mr. Pepper, from same committee. reported back, without amendment, Council bill in re- Jation to the extension of alley in square 452; passed. Also, from same committee, a bill author- izing the improvement of A street north, from Second street east to Fourth streeteast; passed Mr. Pearson, from claims committee, re- ported a bill for the relief of Corbin Baker, which was passed. The resolution in relation to the construc- tion of the Centre Market building was taken up, and, on motion of Mr. Pepper, the amend- ment of the Board, striking out the portion re- quiring the question to be submitted to the ey and to which amendment the Lower Bocrd had disagreed, was insisted upon, and a committee of conference asked. The Chair appointed Messrs Pepper, Busey, and Evans upon the committee of conference. Mr. Pepper, from improvements committee, precented a bill authorizing Mary J. Martin to erect a temporary brick wall; passed. Mr. Busey, from police committec, asked permission to continue the investigation in the case of J. H Birch, (Captain of Auxilary Guard ) and to file their report with the Sec- retary of the Board Mr. Miller expressed his satisfaction that g was beingdone in this matter The investigation ought to goon; as they were now about to adjourn sine die, he suggested that the committee make their report by Tucsday next. Mr. Dove would simply state that the com- mittee had been delayed in their investiga- tion by various unforseen circumstances ; on one night, appointed for a meeting of the com- mittee, the fire at Shreeve’s stable had called away the auxiliary guard; on another night when they were to have met, Captain Birch was obliged to be present at the examination of Herbert at the jail; still the committee had met and examined their witnesses, but Captaia Birch had a witness he wished exam- ined, and a meeting of the committee was to be held for that purpose on to-morrow (Tues- day) evening. Mr. Busey said it would be utterly impos- sible for the committee to report by Thursday ; they had to examine testimony, and then to consult, and draw up areport. The members of tae committee had not expressed their views to each other; and, upon consultation they might agree, or they might disagree. The committee hoped to be able to report this week, but he thought they should not be limited to any particular day. Dove said he would be happy to be able te report any day, but did not wish to cut off Mr. Birch from the chance to present his tes- timony. After some incidental debate the question ken, and the police committee were au- d to continue their investigations and file their report with the Secretary of the Board. Mr. Busey introduced a bill making the sal- ary of the Commissioner of Health payable por ina Aamaosty of quarterly ; passed. Mr euston, from finance committee, re- ported a bill authorizing the Mayor to pay Jos. ateliffe for serving as clerk for committee of finance in examining the accounts of Robert J. Roche. Mr. Bayly said that if Mr. Rateliffe didn’t get up his accounts more correctly than the tax clerk he was’nt fit for the situation. He Wag satisfied that Mr. Ratoliffe was not a Proper person to have the books in his hands, Mr. Houston said it was not possible for the committee to do the work, and a clerk had been employed, with the full consent of the Boord. Mr Howard had been selected and the place offered to him, but he would not take it. Others had been named, and finally Mr. Ratcliffe had been appointed with the approbation ef the committee, including Dr Magruder. The accounts were very compli- cated, and how Mr. Rateliffe would succeed with them, he could not say. Mr. Evans said he had been told that Mr. Roche had expressed satisfaction at the ap- pointment of ite Ratcliffe. Mr. Bayly said he did not intend to oppose the bill The clerk had been employed, and was, of course, to be paid. The bill was passed. Mr. Clarke, the President, being tempora- rily absent, the Vice President, Mr. Pearson, took the chair. Mr. Emery offered a resolution tenderin, the thanks of the Board to Robert J Clark, the President of the Board, for the able and impartial manner in which he had presided over the Board. Mr. Smith moved to include the vice-presi- dent, which was accepted, and the resolution adopted Toe President, having resumed his seat, the Vice-President reported to him the rea- olution just adopted Mr. Clark replied appropriately, exprese- ing the gratification it afforded him to have the approbation of those with whom he bad been associated so intimately, and iving his thanks to the members of the Board. for this expression of their kind feeling towards him. The Board now took a recess to await the action of the committee of conference upon the market-house resolution. Mr Evans moved to appoint a committee to announce to the lower Board that the Board of Aldermen had concluded their businces and were now ready to adjourn. The motion was adopted, and the Chair ap- pomted Messrs. Evans and Dove upon the committee. Council bill establishing the grade of L street north, at the intersection of Eighteenth street west, was taken up and passed Mr. Busey, from the committee of confer- ence upon the market-house resolution, re- ported that the committee had failed to come to any agreement, and he moved that the res- elution be laid upon the table; carried A committee from the lower Board having announced that it had concluded its business, en metion of Mr. Smith the Board adjourned sane die. An offecting leave-taking followed the ad- journment, and much sympathy was expressed by the ‘ ins,’’ or those holding over, for the or those who have a prospect of being placed in that unpleasant predicament. Maxtcious Miscater.—On Sunday night last, some cowardly scoundrel destroyed a considerable portion of a new board fence on the farm of Mr. Daniel Seott, a worthy and inoffensive man, residing in Alexandria coun- ty. Virginia, near this city. The person who would fo such an act, would rob or burn his eighbor’s house if he believed that be would pe detection.

The Levee was graced by the pres- ence of an unexpectedly large number of ladies, and as the gentlemen present were ar- rayed for the most part in the regalia of the order, the effect may well be conceded to have been brilliant. Addresses were made by the venerable Past Grand Master Wildey, Hon. Mr. Stanton, Hon. Mr. Colfax, and Dr. Magruder, interspersed agreeably with vocal music by @ number of amateurs of fine musical aftainmente; and with instrumental music by Weber’s capital band. The piano used upon this occasion, a supe- rior toned one, and at which Prof Foertsch presided with his usual ability, was from the piano establishment of Mr. Ellis. Upon the conclusion of the addresses the seats were removed from the hall, and from that hour until near daylight did the happy party keep up the joyous dance, and even then seemed loth to quit the scene of so much enjoyment. We like such gatherings They are calcu- lated eminently to promote good feeling and to advance that universal brotherhood which we all feel to be so desirable, but which so little effort is made to attein. All credit, then, be given to the noble order of Odd Fellows for the advances they are making inthe right direction. We feel confident that the world would be better and sappier for more of such social gatherings and inter- changes of good feeling as that of last night. Tue Paravw —The Regiment of Volunteers made a very handsome appearance yesterday, though all the companies were not on parade. The line formed in front of the City Hall; the following companies being out : The Pres- ident’s Mounted Gn: Captain Peck, of the Cavalry Battalion; the Light Infantry, Capt. Davia ; National Greys. Capt. Towers; Mont- gomery Guards, Capt Key: National Guards, Capt. Tait; Highlanders, Capt. Baine; Union Guards, Capt. Reese, of the Sctastry Battal- ion; Boon Xifies, Capt. Bright, and American Riflemen, Capt. McKean, of the Rifle Bat- talion. The Regiment, after a rather protracted roasting in the hot sun in front of the City Hall, marched down Louisiana avenue to Sev- enth street. up Seventh to P, along F and down Fourteenth street, and Pennsylvania avenue to Third street, and thence to the Cit Hall again, omitting the usual line of marc! through New York and Massachusetts ave- nues. A variety ef movements, entirely new toa a wok of the companies, were undertaken, and, we must say, executed well under the circumstances Te may be called the first regimental drill, and no doubt will cause ad- ditional pains to be taken to instruct our zeal- ous volunteers in the ‘school of the battal- ion.”” Very little labor is required to make the regiment one of the best drilled in the country. The companies are well prepared for that school, and alittle explanation before they are brought on parade is all they re- quire. Esputa’s fine brass band’ performed, for the regiment, some beautiful marches and quick- — ATIoNAL THEATRE.—The Shaksperian re- vival of ‘‘ King Henry IV ”’ was received last night with great satisfaction by a large and fashionable audience. The play has been produced with great attention to scenery, dresses, &c. Mr. Hackett, the great Falstaff of the stage, has so long held possession of that character in public opinion, that any- thing we could now say would not add to his well-merited fame. e cannot, however, re- frain from noticing in terms of praise the ef- fective manner in which other parts of this difficult play were sustained by the respective members of the company. essrs. Burnett, Jefferson, Adams, Boniface, and Hamilton, all deserve particular favorable mention. Miss M. Devlin and Mrs Germon also gave us very satisfactory renditions of the parts of Lady Percy and Dame Quickly. The play is to be repeated on Thursday, we understand, and we advise all who have not yet witnessed it to avail themselves of the opportunity. To-night, Mr. Hackett appears in two of his original characters, Col. Wildfire and Mons. Mallet, and Mr. Jefferson in the farce of “ My Precious Betsy.” Tue Prizes.—Yesterday the German Ya- gers spent their time merrily and pleasantly at Beckert’s Oak Grove. near the Park. They numbered forty-two rifles, and were accom- pane by about five hundred of their friends. ‘eckert labored successfully to give satisfac- tion to all on the ground. The target firing was very good, and the prizes valuable. The first—a large silver basket—was awarded to private Schwinghammer; the second—a lar; gold pencil—to private Landner; the third— a set of gold studs—to private Woulbert; the fourth—a gold medal—to private Losch; the fifth—a supple-jack—to private Jourdan. They left Oak Grove at 3 o'clock, p.m, and returned to the city delighted with the trip ‘The Yagers were absent yesterday through the permission of the battalion. Lanceny.—Martha Parker and Henry Lee were arrested yesterday on a charge of laceny and taken before Justice Hollingshead for trial. The Justice deemed a further hearing necessary, and sent Parker to jail for that purpose, and held Lee to bail for bis appear- ance This Justice also disposed of the fol- lowing cases: James Lawrence, assault and threatening his wife, security for peace; W. Hughes, assault, security for peace ; William Shehan and C. Twoney, threats of Giolence and forcible entry, security for peace; Henry Gahan, assault, security for peace; Williain Shehan, fighting; case dismissed. Tne Rogeery Case was further exam- ined to-day at ten o’clock, by Justice Ho'- lingshead. We leara that upon examining the baggage of the prisoners a large quantity of gunpowder was found, and this article has been extensively used in recent burglarious operations in this city and Alexandria. At the trial this morning, Justice Hollings- head decided that in view of all the cirsum- stances connected with this case—the identify- ing of the twenty dollar note by Mr. Porter, the reception of it from DeGarris by Anna Williams, of which the evidence satisfied him, he should hold DeGarris and Wheeler to bail in the sum of $500 each, to appear at the June term of the criminal court. In default of bail they were committed; and Anna Williams also. DeGarris and Wheeler are both young men apparently—one twenty-six, the other thirty years of age. Anna Williams is a rather good looking girl of sixteen or seventeen years.

It is rumored that the American squadron will soon enter the Baltic. 5 On the 9th instant, the representatives of Russia, Sweden and en — tend rotocol at Copen iD, agree’ con 4 y toa apitahantion of the Sound Dues. Russia is reported to have demanded expla- nations ting the secret signed jointly by France, Great Britain Austria ¢ ‘anteeing the independence of Turkey; Pe he rumor has not affected the stock mar- et. The Russians under Gen. Mouravieff, are commencing a new campaign against the Cir- cassians. The excitement the French inter- ference with the liberty of press, continues in Belgium, but the latest mail says that an agreement with France has been arrived at. In France, secret societies are causing much anxiety to the Government Céunt Cavour bas presented two important notes to the Sardinian Chambers The news of Walker’s movements in Nica- = did not cause much excitement in Eng- ljaad.

The Marshal made no answer; but at 11 o'clock the Deputy Marshal with a posse of ten men made their appearance in the city, and sum- moning four citizens to assist him, arres*ed G. W. Diesler and G. W. Smith, carrying them off without molestation. Sheriff Jones subsequently made his appear- ance with eighteen men, he attempted no ar- rests but demanded all public and private arms to be delivered up, giving the people only five minutes to accede to the demand, and threatening in case of refusal, to atorm the town. One field piece was immediately surrendered up,but the people refused to give up their arms. Ina balf an hour Sheriff Jones returned with two pieces of artillery and an overwhelming force and commenced the work of destruction by cannonading the Free State Hotel and the office of the Herald of Freedom The former was burnt, and the types and presses of the latter were destroyed. The Tribu-e’s informant left that evening, and when fifteen miles from Lawrence, saw a great light and volumes of smoke in the di- rection of the place. They have no doubtthat the own is destroyed Another messenger who left Leavenworth just before the boat, ssys that several men had been killed by Sheriff Jones’ party. It was algo feared that General Pomeroy had been hung by the mob Governor Robinson is still at Lecompton in the hands of the authorities Ex-Governor Reeder is supposed to be in a place of safety, and is daily expected at Chicago via Nebras- ka and Iowa. The mob threatened to hang Gov. Robinson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Diesler. The Free State men are gathering at Topeka and will make 8 stand at that point. Mr Atchison is somewhere in the Territory. The United States troops are anxious to pro- tect the settlers, but are not allowed to leave their quarters. Sr. Louis, May 26 —An extra from the of- fice of the Lexington County Express confirms the accounts of the destruction of Law- rence. It states that after Marshal Donalson had entered the town and made the arrest of all the persons for whom he had warrants, he turned his posse over to Sheriff Jones, whose attempts to make arrests were resisted by the people,—who fired on his men—Jones then cannonaded and set fire to the Hotel and the Herald of Freedom office, destroying both. The artillery were still firi and flames spreading when the messenger left. But few lives were lost. Later from New Mexico Sr. Louis, May 26.—The Santa Fe mail ar- rived at Westport on the 2ist instant. It was stopped by thirty Kiowah warriors who de- manded provisions, but offered no injury. A large number of Comanches were seen on the route, but were peacable. There is no news of interest from New Mexico. Kansas Meeting—Sympathy for Mr. Sum- ner.
