FVENING STAR. "LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Boarp or Atpgruen.—The Board met at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. 4 The —— ig communication — seeslred. from the Mayor, accom; ing the address of the a Wakefi aged, to the citi- zens of ington : Maror’s Orricz, Wasaiverton, D.C., August 11. 1856. To the Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council: Gentlemen—I have great satisfaction in transmitting for your consider. ation a letter received at this office through our fellow citizen, Lewis Clephane, Esq., from @ W Harrison, Alderman of the Borough of Wakefield, in Yorkshire, England, ther with an address from the inhabitants of that borough to the people of the city of Washing- ton hough the causes of anxiety which in- duced the people of Wakefield to send their fraternal address have happily ceased to ex- ist, the sentiments contained in it are of such a nature as to command our respect and claim our attention. Respectfully, W.B Maoruper, Mayor. The address of fh citizens of Wakefield fo companying the Mayor's communication, has Sherdp equated in the Star On motion of Mr. Bayly, the Mayor's com- munication was referred to a special commit-. tee. Mayor, enclosing one from the commissioner of the weetern section of the canal, recom- mending that deck scows be provided to facil- itate the operations of the steam dredging machine, and also recommending that the ma- chine be corked and well painted ; referred to canal committee. Various petition- were received and referred. Mr. Houston, from finance committee, re ported a bill from the lower board providing aid to the tax clerk—two additional clerks whose compensation shall not exceed three dollars per day ; laid over. Council bill for the relief of Joseph Rateliffe was laid over Mr. Houston, in commenting upon the bill making an appropriation to pay for medicines supplied to the out doer poor, spoke of the amount as enormous, and he asked for infor- mation as to the correctness of the bill Mr. Busey said that he bad no doubt the bill was correct, but the fault lay in the law itself, which did not regulate the price or the number of prescriptions. Mr. Riggs offered a resolution of inquiry in order to ascertain the facts in relation to the a iit rovidt fe ding and i A bill ling for ‘ing ai aveling L street pobic Between Wourteouth cal Fif- teenth streets west, was passed. A bill relative to the grade of @ street north was taken up, and discussed by Messrs Houston, Dove, Busey, Miller and others. Mr. Houston planted himself upon his plat- form of limited expenditures. Mr. Dove contended that it was an expen- diture to be be paid out of the Ward funds, and that it was an improvement greatly de- manded. Mr. Basey said he had laid it down as a rule to oppose every change of grade which was not desired by the property holders along the streets where the change of grade was roposed 7 Mr. Miller urged that the Councils legis- Jated too much for local interests. The ity Surveyor was the ee —— to ae ing proposed changes of grade. They cool a oS perenad 2 anything in his opinion but the official certificate of the City Surveyor. He alluded to the condition of New York avenue as a case in point. Mr. Smith said the Corporation was liable for all damages to property holders, by change of grade, and he was unwilling to vote for any such change unless the application was signed by all the p rty holders interested. Mr Emery contended that by making the proposed change in the grade it would save expense in excavation upon the streets cross- ing G street. It would save a thousand dol- lars in the grade of G street, and would bene- fit the property holders upon the cross streets, Mr. Miller said that in some of the grades established by Nicholas King, water was re- quired to run up hill at least thirty fect. Mr. Busey, in explanation of an observation made by a member in debate, said that it was not the province of the city surveyor to estab- lish grades, but to indicate them. Mr. Busey offered an amendment requiring the application to be signed by the property holders whose property shall be affected by the proposed change, and that the Corporation shall be guaranteed against claims for dam- es The bill and amendment were laid over un- til next week. A bill for the construction of a sewer along Third street west, was passed. Mr. Pearson, from claims committee, report- ed a substitute for Council bill for the relief of Thomas Bayne; laid upon the table. Mr. Evans, from canal committee, reported a bill appro scows, and for caulking and painting the dredging machine in answer to an enquiry by Mr. Houston, Mr Evans said the appropriation had been mede in secordance with the communication from the Mayor and of the superintendent of the western section of the canal, (Mr. Wise,) who was admitted by all to be an efficient officer Mr. Pearson said this was but the beginnin; of what would result from the change in can: commissioner. Mr. Dove replied, speaking in high terms of Mr. Wise as an efficient cfficer, and of the ap- propriation as necessary r. Evans said he did not know the gentle- man, (Mr. Wise,) but understood on all hands that Le was an excellent officer. Mr Evans avowed his disporition to aceord what facil- ities were needed to the Corporation adminis- tration to carry on the work of the city Mr. Busey thought that according to the statement of the commissioner, if the facts in it were correct, the late commissioner of canals did not know his duty, if the seows, built already upon his recommendation, were not fit for the purposes. How wore they to know which of the commissioners were in the right ? ‘The bill was laid upon the table Councii bill for the relief of Z M P. King was referred to finance committee. A communication was received from the Register, answering the resolution of inquiry in relation to the amount paid to the page employed by the lower board ; ordered to be published. The health bill was postponed for two weeks. Claims committee were discharged from the consideration of the petition of Ann Scott A resolution offered by Mr. Smith, that the two beards moet on Monday, August 18th, for the election of police magistrates, was adopted. A bill for ebanging an alley in square 465 to @ street was called up and led to @ pro- tracted discuzsion ; postponed until next Mon- day. bin for the relief of Z MP. King was A resolution authorizing grading and paving of sidewalks on the west side Thirteenth street west, between G and H streets north, was passed. And then the Board adjourned. Tux Bartivone Democrat of yesterday faye: Officer P. B. Bell, of Washingtoncity, yesterday arrested a yonug man about nive- teen years of age, by the name of Thomas J Padgett, upon suspicion of being one of the party of four implicated inan outrage which was perpetrated upon a Mra Smith. This brutal act happened in the city of Washing- ton tome three weeks ago Padgett is» fine looking and intelligent young man, and has been for cight monthe as an apprentice at the as fitting business. On Momduy last, young vad gett came to this city with the determina+ tion to serve bis country either upon land of fea. So on Saturday iast he made application atthe rendezvous located on Marsh Market Space, to join ‘Uncle Sam,” and was expected in afew days to be sent to one of our many frontier posts. Justice Mearis committed the young soldier to jail for further investigation in the case by the authorities of Washington eity. ANotugr Fine Exccnsion.—In addition to the trip of the Powhatan, an opportunity of a delightful trip to Old Point Comfort ip afforded via the Washington and Baltimore Railroad and the steamer Gladiator down the Chesapeake Bay. The round trip ticket is furnished at $250, which strikes us as re- markably moderate A communication was received from the’ reratiog $525 for the purchase of Criminat Coprt.—Jud, rawford yester- day sentenced William Moore and John Balt- zer to two weeks imprisonment, and to pay a fine of $leach. These parties were concern- ed in the Georgetown riot William Willis for aseault was sentenced to three months in jail, and to pay a fine of $5. Michael McNamara, a small Sey, was sen- tenced to jail for eight months, and to pay a fine of $1 David Y. Moore for ill voting was sen- wae to jail for two months, and to pay a fine Judge Crawford, in sentencing Moore, com- Bee | upon the eect of bis offence, it having been proved on the clearest possible evidence that he had voted at three different precincts at the June election. It wasa great crime, and by it he had disqualified himself from ever voting or holding any office in this cit: If the law allowed a longer im- prisonment he (the Judge) would make the sentence more severe. Henry Micherly was tried on charge of steal- ing a silver watch acquitted. Wharton for defence. Nationa, Tugatrz —A more unamused community than ours has been for the last month, we presame, would be hard to find in any “J approaching the size of ‘daisy With the exception of the calf with five legs, exhibiting down by the market, we can not call to mind a single show or entertainment of any kind whatever. Now, however, thank our stars, the Holliday Street Theatre com- pany of Baltimore, taking pity, perhaps, upon our stagnant condition, have charitably re- solved to give us a touch of their quality at the National The bill offered by them for to-night will be found in another column, and commends itself to our citizens as just the thing for the summer months Remember, their stay is limited to two nights! AxotHerR Casz.—Yesterday, a man applied at the office of Justice Offutt for a warrant for his son, a lad eleven years of age, whom he charged with stealing his money. The little fellow stated that his father had beat his mother, and that she was unable to walk; that his father wanted him to go befure a ma- jistrate and swear that his mother gave the frat offence, and because he would not do :o his father wanted to send him to jail to got him out of the way. He also stated that his father sent him and his brother out to beg something to eat. The officers and gentlemen resent condemned the man with much sever- ity, and thought he ought to have been pun- ished. An Uwrivatep Excursion!—For such, without exaggeration, may that be termed that is offe upon the steamer Powhatan to Piney Point, Old Point, Portsmouth, and Nor- folk for $2.50 the round trip. An opportunity is thus afforded to enjoy a most heultbful ex- cursion, and at the same time to inspect va- rious objects of interest—Fortress Monroe, the Rip Raps, the big ship Pennsylvania, the steam-frigate Colorado, Gosport navy yard, &c ,&c. Dancing, bathing, fiching, and sail- ing ere included in this delightful programme, aud the whole is afforded for but $250! The Powhatan leaves this city at six o’clock on Friday evening, August 15. AN UNDOUBTED GOOD THIXG is a nice sweet pot of yellow butter. Now butter, like Cwsar’s wife, raust not only be pure, but beyond sus- picion. So of eggs obody can tolerate a eecond rateegg. Lhe depth of depravity, and the pre-eminence of moral excellence are ex- pressed in the phrages ‘‘ A bad egg,” and ‘-a egg!”’ In another column will be found the advertisement of James E. Dunawin, whose stock of butter and eggs may be em- phatically set down as ‘good’? We take pleasure in saying, after some experimenting, that no better articles can be found than those kept by Mr. Dunawin. Row rm tag Sixta Warp.—Last night, about 10 o'clock, quite a fight occurred be- tween eight marines and the auxiliary guards, on Garrison street, in the Sixth Ward. The officers made an arrest and the marines at- tempted a rescue. The guard fought hard and eecured their prisoners and carried them to the central station. The faces of the guards, MoFarland and Carrico, were much bruised, as were the hands and faces of the prisoners. They were tried before Justice Stevens this morning and sent to jail Riot —Yesterdsy afternoon, a number of colored persons were engaged ina fight on N strect, between Ninth and Tenth. Some of them were badly hurt in the contest. The officers arrived at the spot too late to make arrests of the principals; but they are’known, and will be brought to trial as soon as possible.
