Hal- eck, President of the Northern Liberties fire company, in reply to the statement of S. A H McKim, Secretary to the Board of Trus- tees of public schools; which was ordered to be published; and is aa fo'lows : Wasuincron. Sept 15. 1856. Sim: As President of the Northern Liberties fire company, I deem it my duty to reply to the statement of Mr. 8. A. H. McKim, Secre- tary to the Board of Trustees of the public schools, addressed to the Mayor of the city on the 5th instant The Secretary was simply directed to communicate the order of the Board, and everything else appended by him is altogether gratuitous, and most of it not in accordance with facts it is true that the school-room was changed, but this was done during the recess of the school, and in conformity with authority given by the Mayor, Mr. Towers, to use either room for the company. There is a misapprehension ag to the appli- cation of the company to use the school-room foraball The request was simply to use it #3 a dressing room for the ladies, without dis- turbing any thing belonging to the school The ball was held in the company’s own room. The statement of the Secretary leaves the inference that the teacher did not know what room was assigned for the schocl, al- though she had used it for several weeks. I @m authorized to say that there was no such mistake as alleged. It was not the teacher who “unannounced”’ entered the room ozcu- pied by the company, but the person who attends to keeping itin order. Therefore the indignation of the Secretary at the supposed impropriety on the part of the company in subjecting a lady to sucha mistake is alto- gether misplaced. I may here remark, too, in reference to the intimation of the honorable Mayor as to the Tiotous conduct of firemen, that the Northern Liberties Fire Company are friends of order, and desire to obey the laws in ali things, and that they have never acted otherwise than on the defensive Rendering their services gra- tuitously to the public, they are unwilling to have their characters aspersed upon mere ru- mor, and are at all times ready to submit their conduct to # fair test before an unprejadiced tribunal Please submit the foregoing to the board of which you are a member. Very respectfully, J.T. Havurck, President N_L. Fire Co. To Mr. Gordon, Chairman Board Pub Schools. Mr. Boblayer moved to referthe whole sub- ject to the delegation from the Third Ward. Mr Orme moved to refer the matter back to the committee on public schools; agreed to. Mr. Lloyd reported a bill, accompanied by a written report, making further appropria- tions for the support of the poor, aged, and infirm for the year ending June 30, 1856, and for other purposes. Mr. Abert moved to amend the bill by striking out the words * eight hundred and seventy-six dollars and eleven cents’’ and in- serting ‘‘two thousand and fifty one dullars and thirty one cents; decided in the nega- tive The bill was then passed by yeas and nays, as follows : Yeus—Messrs Abert, Baldwio, Bayne, Bob- layer, Clarke, Edmonston, Gordon, Hutchin- son, Knight. Lloyd, Towles, Walker, Watter- ston, and the President—14 Nays—Messrs Fisher, Jefferson, Kennedy, and Turton—4 Mr Boblayer presented the petition of Jo- iab Hitchcock, asking the remission of a fine ; referred Mr. Kuight introduced a bill making an ap- propriation for a Ftp footwalk across Vir- inia avenue and First street west; referred ir. Lioyd offered a resolution directing that & joint meeting of the two Boards be held on Monday. the 6:b October, at 8 o’elock, pm, for the purpose of electing school trustees for the current year ; adopted. Mr. Turton introduced a bill making an ap- propriation for repairing the gutter on the south side of I street north, between Twenty- third street west and Virginia avenue; re- ferred Mr Lloyd introduced a joint resolution re- questing K. Coyle, Esq ,U S Engineer, hav- ing charge of the grades and drainage of the i his system of grades for the Seventh assed. He aiso introduced a bill making an @ppro- priation for opening and grading © street south, from Four-and-a-half street to Water #trect ; referred. Also, a vill making an appropriaticn fur grading and eres a portion of Eighth street west, between D and F streets south ; xeferred Mr. Edmonston offered a resolution request ing the Mayor to direct the Surveyor of the city to examine the gutter on the north front of square No. 454, on H street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, to ascertain whether it does not admit of more fall than it bas at present, and to report the result to this Board with as littie delay as practicable. The President laid before the Board acom- Munication from the Mayor, transmitting the bank account with the Corporation up to the ‘9th inst ; referred. It is as follows: Corporation of Washington tu eccount with the Da Bank of Washington ; BinBiog Fund 3B BOARMAN, Book Keeper Hos. W. 8. Macsrpes, Mayor. The President laid before the Board a - munication from the Mayor, transmit a communication from the City Surveyor, and one from Mesers Johuson, Jenkins, and Con- ber, referred. The President also laid before the Board a communication from the Inteudaut of the Wasbingtou Asylum fur the month of August; referred. The bill entitled ‘‘An act relative to the officers of the city,’ the consideration of which bad been postponed until to-day, was taken up, and again postponed fur one week. A joint meeting of the two Boards was then held, and William Dixon was elected Assessor of the Sixth Ward, in the place of Israel Wayson, deceased. The Council, having reeumed ite session, ad- journed. Kuxaway Marcu —Yesterday morning, Mr. Benjawin ¥. Kobinsun and Miss M 0.

The happy couple started this morning for their homes, we are infurmed. After we went to press Chilton was followed by Mr. the di . His remarks, though brief, were designed principally to show that the proven the prisoner Eggleston not guilty of the charge of murder ms r Kohrman alias Captain Bell. t. Key, the District Attorney, replied, and reviewed the testimony. He remarked that he felt that the responsibility resting upon him was little less than that upon the jurors. The indictment was handed to the jury a few minutes past 8 o’clock, when they retired. TO-DAY. the Court was opened at the usual hour and the prisoner brought in. He was accom ied by his wife, who has be with him eating the entire progress of the trial The Jury having returned to the court- room, in an instant the audience crowded to the rails and desks to hear the verdict. Eg- gleston was ordered to stand up, which he did, rfectly at ease, apparently, and the Clerk asked the foreman, D. W. Oyster, Esq., for the verdict, and the reply was “ Not guilty.’ The prisoner was discharged. He was con- gratulated by his friends; and ashe left the bar was met by Sullivan, who gave him his hand, and expressed his pleasure at the re- sult, and they immediately left the court room. Eggleston appeared to be highly gratified, but did not exhibit the intense feeling which Sul- livan did upon his acquittal. The Jury was discharged, and the Court prepared to a ijourn until the December term This roniph | Nationan Tueatre —Notwithstanding the heat and the absence from the city of many of our concert goers, the National was literally acked last night, and with one of the most rilliant roading Sees probably ever gathered within itz walls. Parodi met, as she always does froma Wash ington audience, with a most hearty recep- tion; sodid the broad chested magnificent Bernardi; so did the spirituel boy-artist Ju- lien, (who, by the way, we see has assumed tho manly prerogative of tail-coats;) so didthe new candidate for public favor, the handsome, the flute toned Tiberini, mostdelicious tongued and lady bewitching of tenors. The duet from ‘Il Trovatore,”” by Parodi and Tiberini, was a gem of exquisite vocaliza- tion. Parodi sang the ‘Sicilienno,”’ from Verdi’s “Sicilian Vespers.” «: Rataplan,”’ ‘Coming through the Rye,’’ and other airs in her usual brilliant manner. Strakosch was as.usual vehemently applauded, as was Ju- lien; andthe new tenor, Tiberini, made a decided hit The pecmemers were in turn vociferously encored, and they courteously answered the somewhat peremptory call, and gave the moet bountiful measure of musical entertainment. To-night, the last appearance of this most talented troupe, M’lle Parodi sings ‘« La Mar- seillaize.” ProrracrD Mgetings — Our Methodist Protestant friends, whose house of worship is on Ninth street, are now engaged in holding protracted meetings.

GzorGetown, Sept. 18, 1856, Nearly ever since the first gray streaks of the morning made their appearance, our city has been all alive with persons and vehicles moving to and fro, and the strains of martial music—the prelude to the exit of the friends of Buchanan and Breckinridge for Rockville, to a‘tend the great Democratic demonstration. Almost every species of vehicle has been brought into requisition. A very large num- ber have gone, among them were four hack loads of Oid Line Whigs, carrying with them a@ banner having inscribed upon it: “ Bu- chanan and Breckinridge for the sake of the Union.”” The rear of the delegation was brought up by the Young Men’s Buchanan and Breckinridge Club, in omnibuses of the Union line, accompanied by a fine band of martial music and their ‘‘ baby waker.”” The packet boat MC Meigs, with the pas- sengers of the Argo, reached her wharf at an early hour last evening. The small ubstruc- tion to navigation at the Seneca lock has been repaired and navigation again fuliy resumed. We would advise our citizens who may wish to indulge in so great a luxury as fresh fish, ure and nice, and of the most delicious kinds peste in our market, to pay attention to the advertisement of Mr. Turry.

Administration. Resolved, That the Government of United States was formed by the conjunct in political unity of wide sproad geogra sections, materially differing, not only i inate and products, but in social and dome: institutions; and that any cause which shall permanently array these sections in political hostility, and organized parties founded only on geographical dis ons, must inevitably prove fatal to a continuance of the National Union. Resolved, Thut the Whigs of the Unit States declare as a fundamental artiele of po- litical faith, an absolute necessity fur avoiding geographical parties—the danger so clearly discerned by the Father of his Country, has now become fearfully apparent in the agita- tion now convulsing the nation, must be ar- rested at once if we would preserve our con- stitution and our Union from dismemberment, and the name of America from being blotted out from the family of civilized nations g Resolved, Tt@* all who revere the Consti- tution and the Union must look with alarm at the parties in the field in the present presiden- | tial camprign ; one c'aining only to represent | sixteen northern States, and the other appeal- | , ing mainly to the passions and prejudices of } the Southern Scates—that the success of either faction must add fuel to the flame which now threatens to wrap our dearest interests in a common ruin Resolved, That the only rcmedy for an evil so appaling is to support u candidate pledged to neither of the geographical sections now ar- rayed in political antegorism, but holding both in a just and equal regard. We con- gratulate the friends of the Union that such a candidate exists in Millard Fillmore Resolred, That, without edopting or refer- ring to the peculiar doctrines of the party which has already selected Mr. Fillmore as a candidate, we look to him as a well-tried and faithful friend of the Constitution and the Union, eminent alike for his wisdom and firm- ness—for his justice and moderation in our for- vign reiations - for his calm and pacific tem- perament, so well becoming the head of a great nation—for his devotion to the Cons itu tion in its true spirit—his inflexibility in «xe- euting the laws—but, beyond sll these attri- but:s, in possessing the one transcendent merit of being a representative of neither of the two sectional parties now struggling for politi- *"erblved, That in the peesent igency of Resolved, That in the mnt exigency o: political affairs we are not called upon to dis- duss the subordinate question of the Admin- istration in the exercising of the constitutional pasecs of the Government. It is enough to now that civil war is raging, and that the Union isin peril: and proclaim the convic- tion that the restoration of Mr. Fillmore tothe Presidency will furn'sh the best if not the only means of restoring peace. the Resolved, That we ost, or the nomination ‘of Andrew J.
