Mr. Houston moved toamend the motion by referring the communication to the finance com- mittee The Chair ruled the amendment out of o-der; and the question recurring on the motion to re- turn, the ayes and noes were called, and the mo- tion to return was lost. ‘The communication was then referred to the finance committee. Mr. Riggs, from the finance committee, then asked to be excased from serving on that commit- tee. as the implied charges contained in the so- called memorial were couched in language which was a direct insult to him as a member of the Board. as well as most disrespectful to the Board as a body. Several members i sage the hope that the gentleman would withdraw his application to be excused from serving on the committee. Mr. R. persisted that he would not serve on a committee to consider a paper of the obnoxious character of the communication in question; it was an insult to the whole Board, and should not be received nor considered by thein. Mr. Houston then moved to reconsider the vote by which the memorial was referred to the finance committee; carried.

This morning, about 30’clock it is supposed, two prisoners escaped from confinement, one of whom was only committed last Saturday, (Kane, the copper thief,) and Slattery, who ; a been eon- fined for some time. by sawing off the bar of the lock of the cell in which they were confined, and then an iron bar of the window, which gave them just sufficient space to press their bodies through. hey had jously made a rope of the ticking of their » which they (after passing out into the north yard) attac! to the wall by means of spikes, and climbed over and made off. The lice force were immediately made aware of the t, and all of the officers have been on the look out for the fugitives since that time, but thus far ary ppomneoni It seems that the recommendations that are yearly made to Congress, showing the necessity of a new jail, and the insecurity and unsuitable- ness in all respects of the present building as a prison, avail nothing ; and those entrusted with its charge are left toa solicitude, and a ceaseless babes _ oe in ay pipet establish- ment elsewhere, and, in spite ot escapes will occasionally occur. ” 2 g It will be seen by advertisement in another col- uma, that Mars! Hoover has offered a reward for the apprehension and return of the fugitives to the jail. At Centre Marker, this morning, the prices were pretty muchas usual. Viz: did fall credit composer.

Peck, aceompanied by Esputa’s Band, mounted, pa- raded for the purpose of target practice. They proceeded to the farm of Dr. Haw, near the north- ern boundary ot the city, where a large number of their honorary members and friends of the company had assembled to unite with them in their exercises and enjoyments. At the target firing, the first prize, a large silver goblet, was awarded to private Wise of Georgetown; the second, a cigar case, valued at $17, was awarded to Mr. F. Latz; the third, a handsome military pees was awarded to Mr. Yeabower. The jonorary members’ prize, a large silver pitcher, was awarded to First Lieutenant John Frettier, The festival was a merry one indeed, and the day passed without an unpleasant occurrence to the corps or its friends, who returned to the city about sun down. Tue Monument Controversy.—We publish, to-day, in the Star's advertising columns, another card from Mr. AtLee. When weconsider all the circumstances of the recent onslaught on him by acombination in the Board apparently to blast his reputation, we cannot but admire Mr. AtLee’s magnanimity. ‘The resolution of Mr. Bradley for the appoint- sent of an impartial Committee of Investigation, laid over until the next regular meeting of Tues day, the 4th proximo, may, if acted upon, propi- ag in some degree, an indignaat public epin- jon. If, however, the consideration thereof should be further postponed, on the expected develop- ments avoided by any parliamentary trick of “the Board,"’ we think that Mr. AtLee should, with- out hesitation, proceed to an elucidation ef the mysteries. Usirep States Ponice Rerorts — Before Justice Donn.—Officer Bayless arrested Harriet Ann Dorsey, colored, under the charge of having committed an assault and battery on a woman of the same color named Mary Ann Turner. The assault took place in the market house at night while marketing, and was made on her by fendant and another female who was in her com- pany. The police immediately went in search of the assaulti: party, but in the darkness of the wee they ee suit, but defendant was subsequently arrested by Officer Bayless, and car- tied before the Justice, who after an examina- tion of the case required her to give security in the sum of $300 to appear at the June term of the Criminal Conrt. Snootixe Case at THE Panx.—Last night, another affair of a serious character oceurred near the Pa:k, in which two persons, Greenberry Sib- ley and a young man named Gladmon, were shot by a man named James Johnson. Sibley was shot inthe arm. Gladmon received three balls in his bedy, and we learn to-day that his recove- ry is very doubtful. The affair ay rs to have origi in a fight near the Park, after which the crowd, Passing al the road, stoned John- son’s house, and he fired from the house uw them. James Johnson was arrested this morning Officer B. F. Watson and taken before Justice ‘oddard, who held him to bail in $500, fora fur- ther hearing at 1 o’clock to-morrow.

The nerves commence in the arteries and terminate in the veins. ‘These pills, as a first effect, act upon the arterial blood, increasing the circulation, by which impurities are depositec the veins, and they throw eff 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 borne with forthe good to come afterwards. No great good is often achieved without some trouble in its attainment, and this rule applies t e Tecov- ery of health. Those symptoms only occur where the body has long struggled under a load of impure, tenacious humors. A consecutive use for afew days will satisfy the most unbelieving of the fret good the pills are domg.
