Also, a communication enclosing of the Inspector of Fire Apparatus, (Joha W_. Martin;) referred to fire department committee. The Union Fire C y's suction is in bad order; the F ‘in engine and s needs thorough overhanting ; the Persevetance apparatus is about the same,as at the last report; the Northern Lib- erties apj us is in good order, with the exce; tion of reel; the Columbia a sis good order; the Anacostia suction oe A communication was received from the Mayor enclosing the account of the Corporation with the Bank of Washington, epee a balance in favor of _ Yass pee = bp pale : ; Also, one nominating George F . Barry as Police Officer for the fh district in en Jeeph Mitchell, resigned; and Hi as Seav- eager for the Seventh Ward, in e of Peter Craig, declined. Both nominations were con- firmed by the Board. Mr. Riggs, from finance committee, Yack without amendment a bill for the relief of Sampson Sims; . Mr. FE , from improvements committee, reported a bill moet te the established grade of L. street north, at the intersection of 2ith street west, passed Also, from same committee, a bill authorizing the curbstone to be set and footway paved on the soath side of K street north, from 18th to 2d street west: passed. Also, a bill for grading and Lp. the mar. ‘ket square a nd the alley around the Eastern mar- ket | passed. z Alsoa Dill for the repair of 4th street fromG to N street auth 5 L is rom aay reported back the bill regu tating the location ore ‘wood and lum- t = yards, with recommendation that it do not pass, Mr. Miller expressed himself in fa’ of the bill, and went on to state the evils resulting from the establishment of such yards in the neig hbor- hood of dwelling houses; the streets were dis- figured, vermin accumulated. and the deray of the wood was injurious to health. The board had the same power to regulate the matter that they had in regulating the erection of blacksmith shops and wooden frame buildings. Mr. Busey following on the same side, quoted from the building regulations in the Corporation laws to show that such power was exercised by the Corporation in the matter of stables as well as blacksmith and wooden buildings. Healso referred tothe poudrette regulations as a case in int. Pat Dove thought this was one of those excep- tional cases where +‘ Doctors (Busey and Miller) agree."’ ¢Laughter.) Mr. ). contended thatthe efarter gave no more r to regulate these yards than grocery stores or butcher shops. As to | poudrette. that was declared a nuisance by the Hoard of Health. Let the Board of Health first deolare wood and lumber yards a nuisance. The bilt he urged was unfair to those whe might go into the business in fature Mr. Smith opposed the bill on the ground that it was unfair in its operations. If these yards are nuisances it is pro siness to continue these nuisances, to have a mo- oy of the business and prevent others from entering upon it. The question was further discussed by Messrs. Miller, Deve. Busey, Evans, Houston, Riggs and others, and various amendments were proposed and lost. The question recurring on the bill it was lost Mr. Busey. from the polic committee, reported back, with an amendment, the bill regulating the sale of oats, measure; posiponed mntil next Monday. Mr. Smith, from tire department committee, reported a bill for the relief of the Northern Lib- erties’ Fire Company; 5 Also, a bill for the relief of the Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Sey eet. Mr. Busey, on leave, offered the following pre- nble and resolution : Whereas, the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia. in an opinion delivered by Chief Jus- tice Dunlop, in the case of Miller vs. the Corpo- ration, has decided, as understood by this Board, that the Mayor cannot appoint any officer of this Corporation without the consent of the Board of Aldermen. and that no rejected nominee can be reappointed, and whereas. this Board will abide by and sustain said decision, therefore— ‘ “Be it resolved, ‘Vhat the Secretary be instructed to retnrm to the Mayor the nominations which at any time during the present Council been dand net sabsequently confirmed. and to inform him that the Board will meet to-morrow | evening to enable him to submit other nomina- tions. A long discussion ensued. participated in by Messrs. Busey. Houston, Miller. Moore and others Mr. Miller expressed the opinion that the Mayor had a right to re-nominate if he had not to re-ap- int, and moved the reference of the matter to the police committee, with instructions to con- sult the Corporation Attorney and obtain his j opinion on this specific point : lost. Other amendments were offered and lost; after which the resolution offered by Mr. Busey was adopted.

Cincuir Cotrr.—Judges Dunlop and Mer- tick.—The court met this morning at 10 o’clock, and the case of Dr. P.K. Skinner and the mute and blind children in his charge was brought up. ‘This case was continued over, it will be remem- bored, fcom the last sitting of the court, and is upon a writ of habeas corpus, calling upon Dr. Skinner to bring before the court seven persons mute and blind, who, through their next friend, Amos Kendall, pray tharge the custody of said Skinner, (A, account of alleged cruel arg red for the prosecut! cr. Key a the fon, and Messrs. Bradley and Davidge for the defence. The following witnesses were called for the rosecution: Casandra Raymond, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, Mrs. Brewer, Annie Murra | Alice Ad@ains, Mr. Burrows, W. H. Weaver, Mri Savers, Mr. Olds, Z. Richards, Miss Faulkner. The children of the Asylum were brought into court, and Mr. Bradley opened the case by read- ing to the court the written defence of Skinner, | claiming that the children in his charge had been uniformly treated with kindness and considera- | tion, that every means had been used by defend- ant for the moral and mental improvement of | the unfortunate beings, and that no charge of ill- | treatment could be substantiated. Mr. Bradley | stated to the court that he should disprove the | charges brought against the defendant by the evi- dence for the prosecution. Mr. Key. for prosecution, then entered upon | the examination of witnesses. | At the time our report closed, two witnesses had been examined: Mrs. Cassandra Raymond and Mrs. Southworth. Yesterday, in the case of Johnson vs. the Poto- mae Building Association, an injunction was re- | fused by the court. Usitep States Pouice Rerorts.—Before Justice Donn: On Saturday night, Mr. Joseph Nardin, before returning to his residence, stopped | at the Northern Liberties market-house to muke some trifli: archase, and, in taking out some money from his pocket-book, dropped four notes of the denomination of $100 each without observ- ing it, and did not miss the money until some time during Sunday morning. At first he thought | Some one-had entered his bedroom and taken the | notes. Information having been given to Officers | King and Kemble, they soon ascertained that a | Man named Isaac Brooks, (who was known to be | without money.) had offered a $100 note at a res- | tanrant for change, and that it corresponded with | one of those lost by Nardin. A warrant was is- | sued by Justice Donn, and Brooks was arrested. | On examination he admitted that he had endeav- | ored to pass the said note, that he had recetwed it | from his wife, and that Bacon & Co. had changed | it for him, (which was ascertained to be the case,) but he denied any knowledge of the other three | Notes. A search warrant was then obtained to make a search of Brooks's residenee. ‘To prevent the search his wife produced the notes, asserting | that she had found them at the market. ‘The offi- cers returned to the otfice. and after consultation | with the defendant returned again to his dwell- ing, when Mrs. Brooks handed over to them } $90.75, making up the sun lost with the | Gon of 25 cents, which had been paid fi the changing of the note. The defendant was then discharged. as it appeared that none of the money had been used, and further that Brooks and his wife only attempted to retain it believing that, as they had found it, they were entitled to it. Much Praise is due to the officers in this affair. Presipent Pierce anv THE District Reet- | MEST.—A few days after the inauguration of Pres- ; ident Buchanan a meeting of the officers of the | Tegiment of the District Volunteers was held, at which Major Bacon presided. It was resolved that a committee should be appointed to wait upon ex-President Pierce and return the thanks of the regiment for his kindness to the District mil- ital uring his term of service as President of | the United States, and tender him an escort of the | regiment upon his departure, the officers to ac- | company him to the next city. The committee | performed their duty and his Excellency desired a few days for consideration. In due time the committee received areply thanking the regiment for their many acts of kindness and courtesy, and | assuring the committee that he sheuld ever re- member the kindness of the military. He was | Hapa for this tender of a regimental escort upon is departure from the nag but asked to dectine the compliment, it — as desire (Mrs. Pierce being at the time unwell) to leave the city in as private and quiet a manner as possible. Tue Fisnerizs—The Alexandria Sentinel learns that a number of the fisheries on the Po- tomac below this city are experiencing much in- | terruption and loss from the mud banks formed | last winter, and that wherever the ice collected | in banks or drifts, on the breaking up of the freez~, the mass, as it_ melted, was replaced by a deposite of mnd, so extensive as to become visi- bie at low water. Thereare many of these within | the sweep of the seines, and they interfere much | with,the ‘hauling in.’? Atone fishery on terday, the seine hang and burst on a mud bank, ; and the haul of fish and two hundred fathoms of seine were lost. The Seatine/ thinks if theeffect | of ice-drifts is to create mud banks everywhere | as they have down on the fishing @rounds, the | nud flats opposite Washington must haveyrown wonderfully since last winter. Tue Natiosat Expemic.—The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Clip, denies that the death of the Hon. Samuel Brenton, which took place in Indiana, came, as reported, from the National Hotel disease, and says : “So far from this being true, that gentleman was not a boarder at that establishment. For years past he had been suffering from the effects of paralysis, and it was this, probably, which caused his decease. Alike erroneous is the state- ment that Col. E. E. Lane, the nephew of Presi- | dent Buchanan, died of the National Hotel sick- ness, contracted during the in: ration week. He was in robust health until within four or five | days of his death, which was in consequence of a heavy cold. | ‘The sickness at the hotel was bad enough | without being magnified.”? | ‘Tue Jewisn Passover.—The Jews are begin- | ning to make preparations for celebrating the | feast of the Passover, in commemoration of the passing over of the Israelites, when the first-born of the Exyptians perished, and of their escape out of Egypt. It commences on the 9th day of April next (the first full moon of spring) which is | the. 15th day of the Jewish month Nisan, of their | Year 5617, and it lasts seven days.” During the time they eat ‘‘mazot,”’ or unleavened bread. The | “mazot’’ is manufactured in the cities of New ork and Baltimore, and sent foall other parts of the country where it is needed. It is made of the finest wheat flour and purest water, kneaded by a | wooden lever, and afterwards rolled out between | wooden rollers, and then cut by machinery, with- | out being touched by human hand. Fata Accipent.—Between three and four iock, p. m., yesterday, Mr. John Pullen, a | driver in the employ of Mr. Stephenson at the | Railroad Depot, was engaged in removing goods, | when a box containing heavy material fell st | bis breast =e him inst a box behind him. He was immediately taken to his residence “ Waton’s Beattircr Pratia is continued thib week at Odd Fellows’ Hall.

March, with all his surly blustering propensi- ties, seems to have returned upon us to giveanoth- erexhibition of his fickle character. Yesterday morning was quite mild and Spring-like, but be- fore noon a sudden change occurre€@. A heavy gale of wind from the northwest, accompanied by a drenching rain, hail show, caine down upon us, and last night and this morning the weather was really pinching cold. Considerable fear is felt among the gardeners in the neighbor- hood of our city, for the safety of the fruit and early vegetables We really think that the ordinance of our Cor- poration, fixing the stand for the Unien Line of @ nnibuses near the High stree* canal bridge un- necessary, and calculated to inflict upon the enter- rising propecter an inconvenience and not un- requently trouble and loss, which the circum- stancés do not justify. If ever there has been an enterprise of any kind started in the District that was areal public benefit, it certainly has been Mr. Vanderwerken’s Union Line ; and so far from the authorities of the two Corporations, who are but the custodians of the people’s interests, doing anything calculated to injure him, or retard the operations of his stage line, they ought rather to assist in facilitating his operations and lighten- ing his burdens, when it can be done without any ney: to the public. t is rumored that the hands upon the water works have mostly returned to work. We have not been able to learn however whether they suc- ceeded in obtaining any advance upon their wages. The fine packeté Argo and Meigs, are making daily Mo to and from Edwards’ Ferry and the intermediate points, tothe great comfort and con- venience of personsengaged upon the water works and residing contiguous to the canal. This line of travel has become unusually popular, from the fact that the enterprising proprietors, the Messrs. Ritter, spare no pains to make all who patronize them feel that they are at home while on board their bouts. Business upon the canal during the last few days has been rather stack.

The nerves commence in the arteries and terminate in the veins. ‘These pills, as a first effect, act upon the arterial blood, increasing the cireulation, by which impurities are deposited in the veins, and they throw off such collections into the bowels, which organ, by the energy derived from Brandreth’s Pills, expels them from the system. When first used, the pills may occasion griping, and even make the patient feel worse; this must be ‘ne with forthe good to come afterwards.
