LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, City Couscins.—Board of Aldermen.—The Roard met at the usual hour, the President, W. F. Bayly, in the Chair. A communication was read from the Mayor, transmitting a report from the Commissioner of the Fourth and Fifth Wards, in relation toa bridge now being erected on North Capitol street, and asking for an additional a) ropriation to complete the work; referred to improvements committee Mr. Roff presented the petition of Kinlangh De Neal, asking to be Soy ge for losses sas- tained by the burning of the Washington Asy- Jom, referred to asylam committee Mr. Smith presented the petition of William R. Riley and others. in relation to the overflow of water on Seventh street west, at the corner of H street south; referred to improvements com- mittee Mr. Miller. from the improvements committee, reported a bill authorizing the curbstones to be set and the footway paved on the east front of square No. 2, between L and M streets south; ssed. Also, from the same committee, a bill from the lower Board, with amendment, for a continua- tion of asewer in the Third Ward; % Also, a resolution instructing the City Survey- or to examine F street north, between Ninth and Fourteenth streets west, and report to the Board a plan for grading and graveling the same, and taking up and relaying the gutters on said street; and al<o to ascertain the expense of effecting the said improvement ; passed. Mr. Smith, from same committee, reported a Dill to open the gutters on the west side of Sev- enth street west, from H street north to the Poto- mac river; passed. A bill from the lower Board authorizing the opening of a new alley in square 447; referred to improvements committee. A bill authorizing the grading and paving of the alley in square 515; <ame reference Also, a bill for the erection of a wooden bridge on Sixth street west, between Qand R streets north; same reference. Also, a bill for the improvement of Seventh st. west, between M and N streets north; same ref- erence. Mr. Goddard, on leave, introduced a bill in re- lation to making a list of persons sw! t tothe school tax in the Third and Fourth Wards, and for other purposes; joe. Mr. Miller, from improvements committee, re- ported a bill making an appropriation for the con- straction of a bridge on North C: txt: = Mr. Smith, from the Seventh rd delegation, reported a bill to grade Seventh street west, he- tween F street south and the Potomac river; re- ferred to improvements committee, On motion of Mr Riggs, the Board took up a bill fom the lower Board to tax. license and reg- ulate, agencies of insurance companies in the city of Washington. 4 Some discussion ensued upon this bill, in which Messrs Riggs, Houston, Smith, Barry and others participated. Mr. Smith thought the Corporation had no Tight to make any distinction in regard to the tax to be imposed upon non-resident companies ; the same law that applies to the city companies, applies also to the foreign companies Mr. Riggs thought Mr. Smith was mistaken ; the city companies pay a license on their prop- erty the same as though it was private property. We have a power under the charter to regnial foreiga companies. They probably do as much business as the city companies, while they only pay a tax of S10 per year; while our own com- panies pay cn annual tax of $250 and $300 per year ” Mr. Smith still adhered to bis opinion as to the power to pass any act regulating the tax on for- eign companies. (The bill provides for placing the foreign agen- cies on the same footing as the city companies.) Mr Riggs stated that 2200 per year might be too large a tax to impose upon the foreign agen- cies, and was willing to reduce it to $100 per an- num; he moved to amend the bill by striking out the figures 2200 and substitute S100 instead Mr. Evans believed such « course would drive the foreign agencies out of the field, and be the means of establishing a monopoly which would be injurious to the city interests Mr. Riggs remarked that no good and substan- tial company would retire before auch a bill as the one now up for consideration. If there were worthless and unsafe agencies here, they would xo, and it would do the city no harm, for we wanted none but sound companies here The question recurring on the amendment of fered by Mr. Riggs, it was adopted. and the bill was then passed as amended. The Board then adjourned. In the Common Council, a communication from the Mayor, approving recent acts of the Ceunciis was received Also, one transmitting a communication from the Commissioners of the Washington Asylum; Teferred to asylum committee Also, the report of the Intendant of the Asylum; same reference. Mr. Turton presented the petition of M. John- son ; referred to claims committee. Mr. Turton. from improvements committee, re- Ported a bill te take up and relay a gutter on the north side of K street north, between Fifth and Sixth streets west ; passed. Mr. Kennedy, in reply to a question by Mr Turton, stated that the claims committee had the claims of certain apothecaries before them, and were instructed to bring in a bill for their relief, bat the claims were so differently formed that it Was difficult to report such a bill. If the com- mittee were relieved from the instruction they wonld report at the next meeting of the Board Mr Brown, from the conference committee on the subject of eating house stands at the several markets, reported that the committee could not agree, and the committee was thereupon dis- charged. On motion of Mr. Wallace, the Board took up the bill from the Aldermen for the appointment of twenty-tive special potice officers, for night ser- v Mr. Jefferson offered the fullowing substitute for the tn li from the Aldermen : iLL autl riggs the appointment ef special ers, and for other purposes. » That the Mayor be, and he is ized, whenever in his judgment be shali deem it necessary, to appoint such number of special police officers as he may think proper, in aid of the regular police officers. Prorided, no such appointment shall be made for a lo Period than ten days, and no expense shall curred to this Corporatien thereby, except apon special appropriation made therefor. And provi- ded fucther, that each of such special police, when ¢ into serviee. shall wear a badge on the collar or lappell of bis coat, visibleto all who meet him The question being taken on Mr. Jefferson's amendment. it was adopted—yeas 10, nays 5; and the bitt as amended passed M2 Bill from the Aldermen, for opening a gniter on the west side of Seventh street, from I street to Potomac river, was passed. Mr. Jeffers alled up the Aldermen’s bill to a deficiency the appropriation for the poor. aged and infirm. and moved to amend by Neking out $3,955 39 and inserting $3,430 30.

He could not seewhy gentlemen wished to laws to rule this or that compan: it Gepartment. It neemed that the law was lever ds one particular company—the ‘States Hose eal gentlemen, urged y party prejudice, seemed saddle all the Tetend cnufaclon in this city on the “States Hose.’ Mr. Wallace knew some of the members of that organization, and said they were respectable workingmen who had long been em- ployed in the city. “For one of their officers, their treasurer, Mr. Lee, he would say there was no inore respectable person in Washington. Mr. Wallace com the order of the city now with what it was under the administration of Mayor Towers, and gave us instances of the non-enforce- ment of the few then, the insult offered to Gov. Wise, of Virginia; the death of Quigley, in day- light, on a public street; the escape of a prisoner out of the mayistrate’s office, when. surtounded by the police; the frequency of fire riotsthen. Mr. W. was opposed to blaming the Police for all the non-enforcements of law. The Mayor and Chief of iniey rene ote their full share of blame. would give the proper orders, gentlemen from the Sixth and Seventh W ards need not fear for their safety. From what had been said by bret he inferred that a gentlemen, in every as jee: ined he saw a regiment of States: % Hor imself, he was satistied that the efty was more orderly than it had been for eight Pe i ‘Mr. Lioyd replied, affirming that in offering the fire bill be was not governed by party prejudice, but by a winceére desire to preserve ordet and de- cency in the city. The bill speaks for itself, and upon its face proves its fairness, and the purity of the motives which suggested it. It was in fact a Dill similar to one which he presented long be- fore the organization of the “States Hose,** and Which went to the committee and there slept Mr. 1.. said that riot existed to a greater extent now than ever, and referred to acts of violence of recent occurrence, which he attributed to the “States Hose or Regulators"? Mr. Poulton said he was in favor of the police DILL in its letter and spirit, and denounced party legislation upon such topics. He thought riot should be put down, no matter who were the par- ticipants. He hoped that centiemen would see the necessity for prompt action, and pass the bill at once. Mr. Clark hoped that as the bill before the Board was only intended for temporary relicf, if gentlemen bod amendments to offer they would reserve them for the general bill now in t upper Board. 1f amendments embarrass prompt a ordeal in that Board. Mr. Orne was opposed to the bill on ground of pense; the city was in no condition to incur such a debt as was required by the bili. If there was riot he knew nothing of it; the police in the Second Ward were able to preserve ice there, and if the other officers attended to their duty as well, there was no necessity fora large increase Mr. Kennedy asked if the bill required the per- manent of temporary appointment. Uhe Chair read the section referring to the ap- Pointinent of the special police Mr. Lloyd said his reason for v. ing for the bill was to obtain relief from riot within a month and if it is pot obtained in that time he would move a repeal of the act. He understood the gen- tleman from the Fif-h Ward to imply that, in caxe the officers were appointed the members from the Sixth and Seventh Wards would st want protection, or, in other words, that De: crats would be protected and their o ponents would not, but he would vote for the bill and run that risk. Mr. Wallace said the gentleman had misun- derstood him. If person were assailed for his polities! opinion he would go as far as any one to rotect him, no matter to what party he be! onged Mr. Wallace went on to speak of occurrences in Baltimore, and the quiet of Philadelphia; but be was called to order on the suggestion of Mr Lioyd that the remarks were irrelevant Mr. Jefferson said he knew nothing of the par ticular companies mentioned in the debate, ti after reading the evidence of a trial before a p lice magistrate, sworn to and published in adaily paper, he had come to the conclusion that the company called the States Hose was more sinned against than sinning. He was in favor of a pro rata increase of the police, but not the present bill, which he feared might become a permanent expense, by the appointment of the twenty-five pase? ofticers. Mr J. thought the purpose wou!d be served by the adoption of the substitute he would now offer by way of amendment. [See Council report.) Mr. Clark thought the amendment would not auswer se pmeent emergency, because, if adopt- ed it could not pass the u per Board to-night, that Board having adjourned. Mr. Orme related a conversation he had with an officer in relation to the quiet of the Seventh Ward, and said he suspected the fears of the gentlemen were more in imagination than reality, and hoped that the Mayor would send a police- man to gallant them home Monday nights Mr. Lloyd said that if the antecedents of some of the members of the auxiliary guard were re- quired, be would refer to the records of the Crim- inal Court; and with such an escort as that, he would be more afraid with the guard than with- out it. Mr. Lloyd referred to a case where mem= bers of the “States Hose,” armed with short inuskets and revolvers were arrested in the Sec- ond Waid Ir. Ocme.

At & o'clock, a. m., on the wharves the somewhat curious and ludicrous phenomenon was observable of men running in all direction prec eded by sundry hats, which skipped p ully before the owners, just out of reach, still suificiently near to make the chase between hat owner and sea wall exciting to the spectator Even reportorial hats were not spared; and a lively scene was enacted between a white hat and a dist ed-looking reporter, which lasted for some minutes, wherein the bat was the victor by just three feet, and went plump iuto the river chaunel, far out of human reach, and only recov- erable by means of a six-oar boat, and some hard puiliag against wind and tide At Gait& You wharf—arrived schr Wm Frazier, Captain Seward, from Havre de Grace, with 135 tons of coal for Warder & Kilmon At Riley's wharf—arrived schooner Sti Capt.
