The communication and accompanying bills were referred to the qommittee of claims. The President laid before the Board a com- munication from the Mayor in relation to the necessity of making an appropriation for the yment of contractors for the removal of gar- and offal, and also of making an appro- tion for cleaning gutters and alleys and ‘or casual repairs, bills for these objects hav- ing been passed by this Board and now await- ing the ection of the Aldermen.

Ata subsequent stage of the proceed- ings, a bill providing for the construction of a sea-wall at the place above was reported, and passed The bill relative to the officers of the city, the consideration of which had been deferred until this day, was further laid over until Monday next. @The joint resolution requesting the Mayor * to authorize the Commissioners of the Wash- ington Asylum to pay the claim of Joseph W. Davis, which had been laid over for the fur- ther consideration, was taken up; and with a substitute therefor, making an appropriation for arrearages to the 30th of June, 1856, for the support of the poor, aged, and insane, was referred. The Board then took up for consideration the bill from the Aldermen to provide for the registration of all persons in the city of Wash- ington subject to the school tax and for other urposes ; and the pending amendment of Mr. ’ joyd was agreed to. Mr. Jefferson moved to amend the seventh line of the bill by adding after the word ‘“‘be’’ the words “a citizen of the United States.” Mr. Walker moved to amend the amend- ment by striking out the words “ a citizen of the United States of that age,’’ and inserting the word ‘‘such’’ ; agreed to by yeas and nays > a3 follows: 3 Yeas—Messrs Abert, Bohlayer, Clarke, Ed- monston, Fisher, Gordon, Jefferson, Towles, Turton, Walker, and the President—11.

Mr. Abert introduced a bill authorizing the », filling dp and graveling of the yard and side- \ walk attached to the public echool near the Observatory; passed. The Board then adjourned. > ~ ii mrtor AX Exvperty Gextieman 1s Trouste.—A “sug@untry gentleman. some 70 years of age, ar- " Tived in this city on Monday last, and at night took astroll to see the town. He accidentally got in company with some finely dressed, x able young ladies on the street, who cheerfully accepted invitation to see them safe home, and whem arrived there, he as cheerfully ac- e 08; their invitation to walk in. On this ~ elderly gentleman’s return to his lodgings he ascertained that his money was missing The Services of Officer Norwood were brought into Tequisition, who afterconsiderable search found the house where this elderly gentleman had visited, and the proprietress, though denying the robbery, offered to disgorge the money rather than the reputation of her house should be injured by any further prosecution of the affair. The elderly gentleman being of a modest uuobtrusive turn seemed willing, and , oven anxious, not to be called into court as a witness. He accordingly accepted the offer and the case was dismissed. Darixc Incenpiany Attempts —On Satur- day night last, an attempt was made to fire the house of Capt. Maddox at Glenallen, near eorgetown, by a person whowas dircovered entering the house over the roof of the shed, ‘but who made hiseseape precipitately on being ,-Metected. It would appear that this person oust have been familiar with the premises, as the watch-dogs made no outcry as ae: would . bave dene had he been a stranger. . Sun- ‘aliay vight the attempt was renewed, and more suc stully. The cailas was entered, and 3 t® tar and light wood a fire was started, = consumed the stairway and a portion of -™ couse, and filled the building with a suffo- cating smoke which, however, served toawaken =the sleeping family and to enable them to 4 make their escape. = the most strenuous exertions of Capt. Maddox and his neighbors the flames were finally extinguished, a task of no small difficulty, considering that it was constructed of inflamable yellow pine. Secrvrity von Court.—Young Holbrook, one of the party charged with riot at Ger- hardt’s saloon on the 15th ult , gave bail be- fore Justice Hollingshead yesterday for his ap- , pearanee at the December term of thecriminal court. Tax Unsrren Stares.—Dr. Spencer's “ Uni- ted States’’ is destined to take high rank among the histories of our country. It is really one of the best historical productions of the present age, and already enjoys the reputa' of a standard work. . Ban- croft, our great historian, it is true, is more bilosophical and elaborate than Dr. Spencer. Besides this, the work of the former, compris- ing some seven volumes, is at too high a cost for the generality of readers. Dr. Spencer Serptiag the desideratum by giving us a great national work, from the earliest period in the history of the United States to the present time, complete in two volumes, quarto. The publishers, Martin, Johnson & Co., are issuing this history in semi-montbly parts, at 25 cents each, thus throwing it within the reach of all. Each number is illustrated with fine steel en- gravings. = Narionat Tasares.—By the announcement in another column, it will be seen that the nt excellent company performing at the National make their farewell bow to us to- night. Their performances have been so sat- isfactory durivg their stay that we would gladly see much more of them, but as such a stay would, we presume, interfere with the programme of novelties to be carried out in regular course by the enterprising manage ment, we must e’en make the most to-night’s treat, and then bid adieu to the accomplished artistes. The bill offered to-night is Evadne and Paul Pry. Tae Cattep Meeting. —The Mayor has called a meeting of both boards of the city councils for this afternoon. The virulence of the party feeling of the majority inthe board of Aldermen is so great, that they not only refuse to appropriate for the payment of the salaries, &c., due the various officers of the corporation, but to — the necessary appro- riations of money due contractors, workmen, Me for cleaning the streets. In fact, their factiousness has thus well nigh brought the machinery of the city government to a stand still; and if continued much longer, must cause a suspension of all the corporation con- tracts and other business operations. Tue TuRNERS now in this city claim to be the genuine convention of the association, au- thorized by the convention at Buffalo in 1855. Since that convention some members have been expelled, who, in order to create a dis- sension, circulated a report among the dele- gates that they were liable to be robbed and murdered should they assemble in this city. Some of the delegates, frightened by this ridiculous suggestion, have gone to Pittsburg to hold a meeting. The main body are, how- ever, assembled here, and their convention will be fully organized to-day. Tar Hientaxners’ Trir.—The Highland- ers had a delightful excursion, indoed, yester- day, to the Great Falls of the Potomac. The attendance of interesting and agreeable las- sies was large, as well as of tho male friends of the gallant company. It is said the flirta- tions on board the canal boat, the scrambling over the picturesque rocks, and the poetic walks in the umbrageous evergreens, resulted in at least half a dozen matches, soon to come off. Reynclds, of the E! Dorado, as caterer, acquitted himself to the entire satisfaction of those present, as he always does on such oc- casions Maciciovs Miscaier.—Yesterday afternoon two young men created a disturbance on the Avenue near Sixth street, which caused the assembling of a very great crowd. They had been ejected from a restaurant for some cause, and when on the pavement, they commenced destroying the furniture belonging to Mr. J. Downs, auctioneer. One of them, J. Knight, was arrested and held to bail for court by Justice Donn. The citizens were obliged to send for ep taste officer and a member of the Auxiliary Guard to make the arrest. Wm. H. Paumer.—It will be perceived by an advertisement that this accomplished pianist and instructor in music having re- turned from his late trip to the North, pro- poses shortly to commence his fall profeasional campaign. We need say nothing of his capa- city as a teacher of music, his success in this community having been, perhaps, unprece- dented in the history of musical instruction in this country. SrortsMeEN who for pleasure and gain have been watching the es in the creeks and marshes along the Potomac, have bad an early season. Many who hunt ortolan for the res- taurants, have left this city to try their skill in localities less frequented. These are so many skilful amateurs in Washington that the regular gunners find it difficult to make their wages on the Anacostia, Potomac, and the creeks in the neighborhood. Taxe Partners for the cotillon party of the Empire Club, this evening, at the Armory, on Louisiana avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets. A fine time may be expected, the Empire boys being noted for the excellence of their arrangements for the pleasure of their friends, and for the good order kept at thoir parties. Comz, why will you suffer all the ills of bed- bugs, cockroaches, moths, ants, and every other species of insects when Lyon’s Magnetic Powder will surely rid your house of all such pestilence.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. . GgorcETows, September 3, 1856. Col. Jacob, of Bellville, Illinois, the gentle- man who has leased the Union hotel, has reached our city, and is going to work in good earnest, making the necessary preparations for opening this old and formerly popular es tablishment. From all we can learn of the character of the Colonel, he is the very man for such an establishment, and we havn’t a doubt but under his management the old Union will again become what it once was, one of the most popular public houses and de- sirable retreats for the weary traveler this District can afford. We know of nothing ex- cept the Metropolitan railroad, which is more needed in our city at this time than a well regulated hotel i ya is rumored that an extensive coal com- any, now located at Locust Point, Baltimore, has ‘leased the Lonaconing Company’s docks, where they intend soon tocommence operations, Georgetown is the natural outlet for this ar ticle of trade, (Cumberland coal,) and the fact that it can be transported from the mines to northern markets at considerable less expense transhipping it at wo other companies, now located else- where, that it will be greatiy to their interest to establish themselves at Georgetown, where the facilities for carrying on such a business are unsurpassed anywhere in the Union. Tho general hoalth of ourcity continues ex- eellent. Its elevated position, the unusually cleanly condition of our streets, and the salu- brious and healthy atmosphere which sur- rounds us, renders sirable a3 a place of residence, during the summer and fall months. The fire which occurred in the dwelling of Capt. Maddox, as noticed in the Star of yes- terday, damaged the premises to the amount of some $500. We understand that it was the work of an incendiary. Persons who were loitering about the piace on the day before are suspected of being the authors of. the vil- lainous deed. The M. C. Meigs returned with hor cargo of pleasure seekers (the Highlanders excursion) about twelve o’clock last night.. Our antici- ag of yesterday in regard to the trip was ully met. Notw thwanting the immense crowd, every thing passed off in the most agreeable manner, not across word, or any accident occurred — e day to mar the peace of any. Capt. W. Il. Ritter isthe very man to manage excursions. We learn that everything connected with tho Fairfax camp-meeting, now going on, is moving finely. Excellent order is maintained, and good fecling seems to pervade the whole camp, with a fine prospect of much good being accomplished Flour, this morning, is firm, with sales at $6.50a$6.624 for standard brands; stock and receipts light Wheat—$1.40a$1.43 for red, and $1 46a$1 50 for white.
