Boarp oy ALperugy.—The Board met at the usual hour last night; the President in the chair. A communication was received from the Mayor in answer to the reselutions of inquiry iu relation to tax sales, at the last ting of the Board, lished in the Slr The communication is as follows . “Gentlemen: There is no data in this office which will enable me to answer your resolu- tion of the 10th inst, in which you ask ‘whether the last and any previous adver- tisement for sale of lots for taxes due and un- paid thereon lots were advertised on which the taxes had been paid previous to said ad- vertisement, and if any were so advertised, the number of lines used therefor and the cost of advertising the same.’ I have therefore sought the information desired from such sources as I thought were reliable; aad I en closed your resolution in a letter to the present tax collector, asking him to answer the ques- tions it contained. A copy of his answer I herewith transmit you, by which you will per- ceive that lots were advertised for sale on which the taxes had been paid, but as no record of them was kept, he is unable to fur- uish you with the information you seck. I also addressed a letter to Messrs. Andrew Roth- welland RK. J. Roche, formerly Tax Collec- tors, enclosing to each a copy of your resolu- tions, and asking from them the information you desired as to the previous tax sales, and also as to the person who had always paid the expense of such erroneous advertisement, and I enclose you a copy of their answers, from whick you will learn that the cases upon which property was advertised after tho taxes had been paid were very rare, and ‘could only occur in consequence of errors In the of- fice’ of the Collector, and that whenever they did cecur ‘no elaim for payment for such ad- vertising was at any time made either upon the owner of the property er upon the Corpo- ration, the cost being paid by the Collector.’ “ The information requested in your resolu- tion of the same date, on the subject of taxes, will be furnished you with great pleasure as soon as itcan be collected ; but as it will in- volve considerable labor it will be some time before it csn be transmitted to you.” Un motion of Mr. Miller, the communica tion and accompanying papers were referred to tho finance committee, and ordered to be printed. Bill previding for conveying gas to the Northern Liberties market was passed. Also, bills for the relief of B_ L and W. B. Jack- son; of George Miller; of John W. Fitshugh ; bill for taking up and relaying gutter on Eleventh street, frem the corner of D to the corner of E streets, in the Second Ward; and bill for the relief of Martin Bosse. Resolutions in reply to the address of the people of Wakefield, Eogland, were adopted aad ordered to be transmitted to the authori- ties of Wakefield. Bill to grade First street east, from B to D streets south, was passed. An invitation tendered to the Board to at- tend the funeral of the late General John H Eaton was accepted, on motion of Mr. Miller. Mr. Smith called up the special order, the bill regulating the inzpection of Iumber, but withdrew the call temporarily, when— Mr. Miller offered a resolution appointing a special committee, cuusisting of one member from each ward, to enquires into the expedi- ency of remodeling tne Fire Department The resolution was adopted,gnd the Chair appointed Messrs. Miller, Zs, Trotler, Moore, Busey, Ruff and Smith on this com- mittee. Ar. Smith, addressing the Board upon the epecial order, said the present law regulating tae inspection of lumber was inoperative and defective. and the sooner it was got rid of the better. Lumber brought to this market almost invariably fell short of the measurement for which it was sold. Vessels bringing lumber from Port Deposit anchor in the channel, and the lumber is landed in lighters at the yards frequently without any inspection at all: Mr. Smith explained the material altera- tious proposed by the new bill. It was made imperative tbat lumber should be inspected immediately upon its arrival ia the city. The defect in the old law by which the penalties for violation of the law were divided between buyer and seller and thus rendered inopera- tive, was proposed to be remedied by fasten- ing the penalty upon either buyer or seller. 1 the course of the debate which followed, and which was participated in by nearly every member of the Board, it was stated that bun dies of laths ostensibly sold as containing one hundred each, average only 80 to the bundle; siso, that sellers of lumber wore in the prac- tice of re sorting lumber brought to this city and selling the medium qualities at a higher grade than it was purchased by them. Tae new bill requires that all laths shall be put up in bundles of one hundred each; and that all lumber shall be marked agreeably to the quality. While the lumber bill was under considera- tion, the committee of conference with the lower Board upon the appropriation bill, ro turned with a recommendation that the Board ot Aldermen recede from its amendments, Vig: those striking out the sppropriations for payment of the salaries of the Commissioners vf the Third, Fourth, Pifth and Sixth Wards, and the Intendant and Physician of the Asy- lum. A protracted debate ensued upon the awendments and various points of order, after which the Board refused to recede, ani ona motion to re-eonsider, re-affirmed that deci- ion The lumber bill was then laid upon the table and made the special order for Monday uext. Bill making an appropriation of $504 03 for completing the Northern Liberties Market was passed. On motion of Mr. Bassy, the nominations were taken up. Hugh Dougherty and Joseph Mitchell were rejected as police officers in the Fifth Ward; do Joseph H. Gill in the Seventh Ward Joseph Z. Gill was rejected as wood, coal and bran measurer. Bill authorizing curb-stone to be set and foot-way paved in front of market square on B street north, between Seventh and Ninth, was passed; algo, bill for gravelling north Sapitol street from New Jersey avenue to 0 street north Bill extending First street east to C street north, and grading the same from the north side of B street to north side of A Street, was psssed, And then the Board adjourned. recrep Visit —Yesterday, two of- e fourth district police called at an oyster house to direct the proprietor to remove a heap of snells from bis door. They walked in without rapping, and there was ®& congre- gation of colo: med apts seated at a table. The proprietor bolted, and the assembly followed sait, escaping by every window, door or open- ing available Ose person was so unfortu- nate as to fall into the officers’ hands. His name was laston, and Justice Morsell ordered him to pay the usual fine and costs for unlaw- ful aseemblages.

Dr. Sainnan—Dear Bir: Enclosed I send the sum of —, which you will please to use in any way .you think best for the noble work you are engaged in. Oaly do not account for the same to the public. Think not that I shail hereafter weep over my loss, and attack you as an imposter. I wish to say, I bave been looking for your answer to that malicious and libelous produc- tion, by what presents itself to my mind as a monster in human shape—the uneven grapple of @ ferocious tiger u; alamb. Sir, your conduct has won my highest esteem. Oh, how the man dwindles into nothingness who has horded up money by unjust means, until he has accumula! worldly power, aud left around about him the poor deaf and dumb and blind children uncared for, in comparison with one who has sacrificed all for them, and who has lamented it no loss to become as one of them. Sir, be encouraged. I see now that your very silence is your most powerful —— It ig the silence of a lamb before a ion. Be assured, sir, thero are hearts here in this District thatcan and do act from motives of true benevolence. They do and will sympa- thize with you in all your plans for the good of the unfortunate.

Natrona, Tagatre.—An audience made uj of the elite of the metropolis was gathe last night at the theatre, and the greatest cu- tiosity prevailed to see the son of the immor- tal Booth, in the part of the hump-backed Duke of Gloster. Very shortly, however, after the rising of the curtain the conviction forced itself upon every spectator that the mantlo of the father had indeed fallen upon the son. His rendition last wight of the character of Richard showed that while nature hag en- dowed him with every requisite for hid pro- fession, he has not neglected, astoomany prom ising actors do, to avail himself of all the addi- tional advantage to be voter by close study and attention to details. So young, and of such brilliant promise, we look forward to the day when he will reach the most elevated point of his profession To-night he sustains the great part of Car- dinal Richelieu, in Bulwer’s play of that name, and we presume that another intelligent au- dience—for such this fine intellectual play alw ttracts—will be gathered at the Na- — A Russ.—Last night, officers Stewart and Goddard took a drunken man from the street to the guard house, where he was placed for safe keeping. He told the officers thathe had killed a manin Baltimore, and had thrown the body in the dock ; that he had escaped and had been lying in the woods {or five days, and that he came to this city fur the purpose of ending his existence in the canal, but had changed his mind and determined to give him- self up. This morning he was recognized as Robert Howie, well known to the police, and it appears that his confession waa an ingenious device to get himself accommodated with a lodging for the night. He was lectured and sent home to his work. ParposeD.—The Prosident haa pardoned J. W. Morgan who was convicted in 1452 on two indictments for forgery, in the criminal court for this District, and was sentenced to an ag- gregate of six years imprisonment in the Dir- trict penitentiary, in which he has been in- carcerated since February, 1853. He obtained nothing by his forgery. His whole conduct as ® convict was very exemplary, and greatly strengthened the application for his discharge. Fire.—This morning, the temporary wooden floor in the office of Capt. Meige, superintend- eut of the Capitol extension, took fire from the excessive heat of a stove beneath the of- fice. The floor and some drawings only were consumed, the walls being fire-proof and re- straining the fire within narrrow limits, which soon expired for want of material to feed upon. The damage will not amount to one hundred dollars, ag all the drawings were du- plicated. Searcn —Yesterday, a search warrant was issued by Justice Birch and directed to Officer Gill, to search for a large anenuyy of dry goods, stolen from the store of R. W. Carter and supposed to be concealed in a house in the Seventh Ward. The premises were care- fully searched by the officer, but no goods could be found. The goods lost are valued at several hundred dollars. Surrosep Fuqitive.—A colored man, ev- idently from the country, was arrested this morning, having in his possession a horse and harness which he offered to sell for fifty dol- lars, and afterwards for twenty-five dollars. His conduct excited suspicion, and he was ar- rested as a fugitive by Officers May and Degges and committed to jail by Justice Goddard. SELLING BY Samptes.—At this season many dealers from the North come to Washington to dispose of goods by samples It would be well for them to look at section eleven of the “Act to license, tax and regulate wholesale and retail dealers.’’ The attention of the pélice officers has been direeted to those deal- ere. Turowixe Srones,—Yestorday, several lads wore arrested for throwing stones at the resi- dence of Caroline Sanderson in the Second Ward. After a hearing before Justice Stevens, F. Proctor was fined $1 and costs, and Charles Newby, Lewis Donoho and Walter Butler fined $5 and costs, each. AssauLt ano Batreny.—Wm. Bruce, col- ored, was arrested yesterday by Officer Mit- chell, for assaulting and beating Isaae Green. He was taken before Justice Williams, who held him to bail for trial at the Criminal Court.
