LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Covncit Procerpises —Board of Aldermen. The Board met yesterday afternoon, at the usual hour. A communication was received from the Mayor, nominating Daniel Smithsas Police Magistrate in the Third District, in place of F. Murphy, re- jected ; confirmed. Also, one announcing his refusal to sign a bill authorizing the curbstone to be set and the foot. way paved on the north and south sides of H st. north, between Fourth street west and street, because the terms of the law are uni and contradictory. With it had been connected the laying of Bing actoss the interveni: streets He respectfully requested the grading of H street north to be passed as an independent act. ‘The bill was, after discussion, passed, despite the Mayor’s veto. Mr. Houston presented the petition of C. E. Walker and others, for the construction of a cul- vert in square 532; referred. Mc. Riggs, from the finance committee, to whom bad m referred the communication of the Mayor, with instructions to examine the tax books of the Collector, reported the same back, and asked to be discharged ; so ordered. Mr. Houston, from the finance committee, re- back the petition of P. G. Murray, and asked that the committee might be discharged ; so ordered. Mr. H.. also. from the same committee, towhom it_was referred, reported back the communication of the Mayor in jon to the municipal adver- tising, and asked the discharge of the committee; +0 ordered. Mr. H., also, from the same committee, re) back a joint resolution authorizing the Mayor to corr with the National Agricultural Soci- ety, with the recommendation that it do not pass ; the resolution was rejected. Mr. Emery, from the improvements committee, reported back a bill authorizing the grading and gravelling of Second street west from Massachu- setts ave to New Jersey avenue; - Mr. E.. also, from same committee, to whom it had been referred, a bill authorizing an appropri- ation for the grading and gravelling a portion of Sixth street in the Seventh ward ; 5 Mr. E.., also, from the same committee, a bill to complete the brick arch in square 522 in the Fourth ward; passed. Mr. E., on leave, presented a bill to provide for setting of curb stone and paving footway on both sides of H street north from Fourth street west to its eastern termination ; eee Mr. E. also reported a bill to provide for grad- iug H street north from the Capitol to Boundary street ; pavsed. Mr. Busey, from the police committee, towhom was referred a bill amendatory of an act preserib- ing the duties and salary of the Surveyor, and for other purposes, with instructions to obtain the opinion of the €orporation Attorney on the same, reported back the same, with the opinion of the Corporation Attorney; which is as follows : Dr. Busey, Chairman Com. on Police: Sta: The opinion of the Cirenit Court, about which you inquire, established two points: Ist. That all officers of the Corporation, except those as to whom the charters themselves make other special provision, must be appointed in conform- ity with the provisions of the third section of the harter of 1820. 2d. That the police magistrates are officers of the Corporation. It is very difficult to determine whether there are any, and if any, what, officers under the Cor- poration (in the ordinary sense of the word officer) which are not within this ruling of the court. I suppose that the objection heretofore submitted by me is correct, viz: -+ An officer of this Corpo- ration is one who is lawfully charged with the authority and duty to execute the laws of the Cor- poration in every department thereof; it being understood that such authority and duty is in its nature permanent and general. as contradistin- golsbed from the authority and duty of a mere contractor, servant or laborer, exercised by agree- ment for a particular work or service."’ With regard to the case of the assistant Sur- veyor it seems very clear that he is an officer within the decision of the Court, by the ordi- nances now stated touching that place. It seems to me that the amendment proposed will relieve the matter of the existing difficulty, bnt would it not be better to abolish the ottice of the assistant Surveyor. simply, and by edding to the salary of the Surveyor have him to carry on the duties of the officer just as a Clerk of the Court or other such officer, by employing such aid as he may re- ire. If the duties of the office are insufticiently ischarged the remedy is provided by the charter of 184s. Very respectfully, J. M. Caruisiez. P. S. In my opinion the bond of the Surveyor will not cover cuy default of the assistant Survey- or not appointed by him, and therefore it would seem important to amend the ordinance so as to provide for the new state of things, if the office of assistant Surveyor be not abolished altogether. After some discussion in relation to the points mentioned in the above opinion, the bill was ssed. Mr. Busey, from pelice committee, presented a joint resolution authorizing the payment of Win. | Dixon the sum of $45 for services rendered the committee, to be paid out of the contingent fund ; assed Mr. Moore asked leave to make a report from the minority of the special committee appointed to examine the positions assumed in the commu- nication of the St ed presented in this Board on the 27th day of April. A long and warm discussion ensued on the question—participated in by Messrs. Busey, Mil- jer, Moore, =mith, Evans and others, which was finally interrupted by the announcement from the lower Board, by Messrs. Turtonand Towles, that that Board was ready to go into the election of Commissioners of Election. The discussion wax suspended in order to go into the election, and the Chair appointed Messrs Moore and Houston to inform the lower Board that they were ready to receive them for the pur- pose of election. Ju the interim, Dir. Riggs, on leave, presented the petition of Robert Greene, and others, author- izing the changing of the grade of Seventeenth street west, between C and D streets north; re- ferred Mr. Busey introduced a bill to provide for the abatement of a nuisance fn the Fifth Ward; Also, a bill authorizing an appropriation to ex- tend the culvert under oe street east, between > and D sts. south; passed. . Mr Siaithon leave: introduced a bill authoriz- ing an appropriation for ro down piles at the eastern portion of the Canal, at its intersec tion with the Eastern Branch ; referred. Also, reported a bill to compensate Chas. Kem- bie for the arrest of an incens ort sed.

The upper-river fisheries are doing a first rate business—much better than at any previous time this season. Yesterday a large sturgeon was caught on the Eastern Branch landing, being the third one caught on the upper shores this season. The steamer Columbia went up the western channel oaptepeiela on her usual trip to George- town, but, on arriving at the western draw, was obliged to put about and return to Washington, on account of the obstruction caused by the sunk- en canal boat, which was alluded to in the Star of yesterday. The Columbia came up to Riley’s wharf, where she is discharging her Georgetown freights. There is considerable complaint made about the obstruction in the western draw.of the Long Bridge, and it is supposed that the owners of the Wide Awake, who caused the wreck of the canal boat. will be called upon for damages on account of the same. The Thomas Collyer brought to Washington 39 tubs of shad, which were purchased this morning at the Alexandria wharf for $11.50a$12 per hun- dred Yesterday, at the Sycamore landing, the pro- prietors made at one haul a catch of 1,400 shad, which were all taken by Messrs. Bird & Milburn of Washington, at the above prices. The total recelpts of shad at the depot in Alex- andria yesterday. including the above, were 2,000. Herring were selling at $11 per thousand. This morning they were bringing $10.50. The prices are fluctuating hourly. There came up to Alexandria this morning a large lot of shad, but we did not learn whether they were sold or not. At Moxley’s Point, opposite Fort Washington, yesteiday, 1,500 shad were taken at one haul. ‘The scr.

Wright, Julian by name, was passing across the flagging at the corner of Seventh and G streets, he was run over by a horse and cart, driven very rapidly by one of the boys Sig in hauling at the Post or Patent Office buildings. The horse knocked him down, and the wheel of the cart passed over his ankle, which is so seriously in- jured as to prevent its use for some time. It is a frequent practice for the boys engaged in hauling, as soon as 6 o’clack arrives, to start off as if they were mad, lashing their horses to make them go faster, thus endangering the lives and limbs of the rs. Such conduct is very rep- rehensible, to say the least, and should be looked after by the officers of the law, and the law, in such cases, rigidly enforced against such offend- ers.
