The bill was then read a third time and passed. : Mr. Abert moved that the preamble pro- posed to the above bill by Mr. Jefferson be Printed with the proceedings. The Chair ruled the motion out of order. Pack Abert appealed from the decision of the air. _The question was then put, ‘ Shall the de- cision of the Chair stand as the jadgment of the Board?’ and it was decided in the affirm- @ive. _Mr. Gordon offered a joint resolution giving the trustees ef the public schools authority to Cceupy a room in the Northern Liberties en- gine heuse for echool purposes; laid over for further consideration until Monday next.

Vo the Edxtor of the Star - Sim: We the undersigned would Tespect- fully request you to oblige us and those whom we in part represent by publishing the follow- ing statement in connexion with the proceed- ings of the Board of Common Council, of which ‘W> are members A bill making the officers of the Corporation personally responsible for exceeding appro- priations being before the Board for considera- tion on Monday, the 221 instant, Mr. Joffer- son, of the Second Ward, moved as an amend- ment the following preamble : “ Whereas for the last two years previous to the first Monday in June of the present year the expenditures for various objects under the geveroment have cn a number of occasions, in violation of law, exceeded the appropriations ue such objects: Therefore be it enacted, °.” The President of the Board decided it to be out of order, and from his decision an appeal was taken, but the decision was sustained by a party vote. Subsequently the member who introduced the bill asked of the President whether the motion made by the gentleman from the Second Ward would be entered on the journal. The President replied that, having been decided to be out of order, it would be excluded from the journal. After the bill had passed Mr Abert, cf the First Ward, moved that the motion of Mr Jefferson be printed with the proveediogs which moijon the President deoided out of order, and on'an ng ‘ision it wa eustained by a party vote Our city charter requires that the Board shall keep a journal of its proceedings We the undersigned consider that the motions as well as the action thereon are of course part of the proceedings, and, as such, should ap- pear uponour journals. Our journal will now only show that two motions were made, which were ruled out of order, an appesl taken thereon, and the decision sustained, or per- haps there may be no notice taken of the sub- ject whatever a Without expressing at this time any opinion upon the preamble, we are desirous that the subject-matter thereof should fully appear, that the public may judge as to whether the motions were in order or not, and not be left to all sorts of conjectures and perhaps unjust reflections on those who made the motions.

Before the proceedings alluded to in the above statement took place I was called una- voidably from the Council room; but upon the questions of order raised and decided I am convinced the Chair and the majority of the Board erred in their decision, and the journal would be illegally mutilated by ex- cluding therefrom the proceedings ICHARD H. CLARKE Nartionat Taeatre —The final concert of Strakosch’s great company takes place at the National to-morrow evening, and none of our citizens claiming the possession of a musical taste will, we presume, willingly absent them- selves. Both the illustrious names of the ar- tists and the programme selected guarantee high muzical enjoyment Parodi stands the unquestioned queen of the lyric stage in this country, while Tiberini, whose exquisite tal- ent is rapidly becoming familiarto the Ameri- can public, ranks second to no tenor alive. Strakosch is the perfect master of the piano, and little Paul Jullien may well court com- — with the best violinists now before the world. Bexzvce Ligut.—Captain Levy. opposite to the National Hotel, has his store lighted with the benzule gas, which affords a fine, and, as compared with the usual kind of gas, acheap illumination. All persons interested in the subject, and especially those who want ® portable apparatus, will find the Captain always ready to exhibit the machine and to explain the mode by which the gas is gener- ated by the simple ani beaut'ful arrange- ment. Getting Reavy ror Winter.—9wing to the recent change of the weather, which makes light summer gear unsuitable for comfort, we notice that housekeepers were out in strong force to-day, looking for stoves and for such other articles as are necessary to blunt or soften the severity of wintor. That's right ; act promptly, cur merchants can accommo- date you all. You have noneed to send clse- where for what you can as accommodating!y and as reasonably procure at home. Lopgers.—Tho usual applicants for corpo- ration assistance are beginning to arrive and take lodgings at the Central Guard House. Persons who apply thrice in succession for lodgings at that station are now questioned as to their means of SCEpOrt, and if it appear that they have none they are commit to the workhouse as vagrants. This rule will probably prevent the rush of paupers to thia city during the fall. Orean Gainpens tN Int Repute.—Yester- day those two itinerants who have been ex- hibiting puppets in the streets, attracting crowds on the side walks and obstructing the footways with their organ grinding and shows, were arrested by Officer Reynolds and taken before Justice Hollingshead, who committed them to the workhouse for the violation of law. Granp Larceny.—George Lee, colored, was arrested on Sunday last by Officer Callaban for stealing $165 from Mr. Hugh Ragan. About sixty dollars of the money was found uponhim. Lee is said tobe aslave; and after a trial before Justice Donn he was sent to jail for a further hearing. Paropi’s Graxp Concert Boox.—A new edition of M’lle Parodi’s concert book, ar- ranged expressly for the present grand concert, has just been published in an unequal style, containing the French, Italian, and English words Also, the music arranged for the piano forte; for sale to-morrow evening at the theatre. Price twenty-five cents. Nationat Guarps Excursioy.—We learn that the National Guards have decided to leave the city for York on the morning of the 18th October at 8o0’clock. Letters have been re- ceived through Capt. Zeigher from the Worth Infantry and York County Artillery, of York, extending a cordial invitation to the Guarde, and promising a soldier’s welcome. Rexiaiovs —Onthe recpenag te Charles street Methodist Episcopal church, Baltimore, on Sunday last, the Rev. Dr. Doggett, «f the Methodist Episcopal Church South, of this city, was among the several minievers who de- livered eloquent and appropriate sermons. Tarep District Porics Orrice.—This of- fice, in which Justice Hollingsh officiates, has been actively engaged in the disposal of Corporation business. Violations of the city laws have been numerous, and the arrests have been in proportion. Tax most Ludicrous and Laughable Carica- tures of all political parties, only 12) cents each.
