LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Ciry Cotkcins —Board of Aldermen.—The Board met at the usual heur; the Presideat, W. F. Bayly, In the Chair Mr. Riggs, from the finance committee, report ed a bill for the relief of Charles Van Ness, and recommended that it do not ; rejected. The monthly report of the Intendant of the Asylom was and referred to asylum committee. Mr. Smith then offered the following resolu- tion : Resolded, That the Mayor be and he is Tequested to cause a statement to be furnished to thi« Board of the amount of the appropriations and the object for which they were made, since the 30th day of June last; specifying such as huve been carried out by him, and such as have not Mr. Smith, in presenting his resolution, read a written speech, in which he entered cpon the question at great length, and undertook to show @ state of affairs in ard to the finances of the city very widely diffecent from that which bad been set forth ata previous meeting of the Board by Mr Moore. He made the present indebted- ness of the elty to be $1,056,155 20, insieed of ‘$17,000 to its credit, as had been stated by Mr. Moore in bis statement of last Monday night. Mr. Moore replied at some lenuth. in which he argued to disprove the figures of Mr. Smith as to the figancial embarraxsments of the Corpora- tion, and claimed that in bis estimate on ks* Monday night—so far as it related to the fiscal year ending June 30th last, that he bad verified it by the Register’s official report, and found it to be within $900 of the actnal results amount of $900. He should not vote for the reso- jution of the gentieman, because be thougbt it unnecessary for the Mayor to to the trouble which it would impose upoe him at this season of the year, and so near the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Smith stated, in continuation, that the gouleman bad again charged him with laying a special charge to the present administration in Lis remarks on the city’s embarrassments. He disclaimed ome such intention. There bad not been an admiuistration for many years past at the close of whicb the o’d mayor had gone out of ottice clear of debt Tue speaker staied that he stood charged by the gentleman with baving made the wildest and most reckless statements without any basis. He had. it was true, stated bis belief that the city was in debt to the amount of $1.300,000. Subsequent investigations had roved to hix mind ciearly enough that be was ue little wide of the mark. He considered all the rr sibilities cf the Corporation as de't antil they were got rid of. If he bad been speak- ing for the purpose of making political capital there would have been some excuse for the very keen remarks of the gentleman from the Fourth Ward. As he totally laimed all intention to attack the present administration, in a political sens, be felt with peculiar force the gen‘leman’s remarks. He contended that the city was, if tig- ures could be relied on, very largely in debi; in fact, the yentleman in his statements had left out of bis accevnts outstanding Liabilities to the amount of $70,000. It behooved the Board to ractice a little retrenchment In concluding, Mr. Smith withdsew the resolution which bad given.rise to so much discussion. Mr. Riggs, from the public schools’ committee, seported back a@ resolution giving permission for # Sanday school to occupy a school house in the First Ward, near the Observatory; passed. Mr. Biggs also, on leave, from the finance com- mittee, reported a joint resolution authorizing the Mayor to take ap to th preme Court of the United States, for its decision, the case of Daniel Linkius against the Corporation, in which judgment was rendered jin the Circuit Court ef the District against the Corporation, and, on mo- tion the resolution was laid on the table. Mr. Miller, from the improvements commit- tee, presented the petitions of Thomas Scrivenor and 3. Toule, and asked that they be referred to to the Mayor; so referred. Mr. Miller, from the same committee, reported back a bill authoriz the curbstone to be set, and the foot way paved, on (he east side of Thir- teenth street cast, between East Capital street and North Carolina avenue ; referred back to the committee with instructions to estimate the cost. Mr. Moore introduced a bill in reiation to non- resident paupers ; referred to the committee on the asylum Mr. Miller, from improvements’ committee, reported a bill to grade and pave the alley in square 513, from Fourth to Fiftn streets west ; Also, a bill to pave the lateral alleys in square Also, a resolution instrueting the Surveyor to survéy Twentieth street, between K street north and Bonndary street, and report the expense of —— graveling the same; passed.

N. Wilson; which was npmonsly adopted. Rev. Mr. Wise, of New York, Secretary of the Sanday School Union, addressed the Conference in behalf of the Union. Rev. Mr. Clem here called up the report of the committee on the subject of a Conference paper. He stated that his intention was not to take speech, but he wished to fe that t had heard that the aemnities bad adroitly altered the object of the Conference in their report. Such was not the fact. The committee had been hon- est in their report. The speaker had not intend- ed in his previous rema ks to accuse the mem- bershi Baltimore city with disaffection towards the Baltimore Conference. Let the Sontb do her ow» work in her own way, and we would do our work in ours. Baltimore was the last citv in the world to desert the good ship of Methodism There wus great necessity for it From New York on the east, to Cincinnati on the west, this Conference had no religious official organ. An immense scope of coun! Ty Was con- Unuaily seffering because of this great want. If we could Lave a jou:nil here in the centre of our territory, we could disabuse the public mind of itserrors in relation to our views. The followiug statistics would show further Io twelve ci:cuits of three thousand members there were but sixty-nine members who took the * Christian Peay Say ago Advocate for eve thirteen families. roposed vr would increase our missionary Moliectiong sad spread our influence over the whole of this vast sterile ground. We, as a religious body, advo- cated the diffusion of light. The speaker would venture to say that ten thousand copies of this per were al Deny! thircres soho in anticipation of its starting. Ail the Conference below cried out to us to launch our enterprise. It would be born full grown, and would start with a regular sub- scription of five thousand copies. If the enter- rise were to go down in mid ocean the publish- ag committee would never come to this Confer- ence for belp Rev. J. Collins made a few remarks in = pa tion to the project of the proposed paper. Since this thing was first started the Conference had had ample opportunity to interchange. their thonghts and opinions in relation to it, and the result showed to his mind that the project would lead to endless bitterness between the Baltimore Conference and the Southern Church. It would bea mischievous instrument in the hard; of mis- chievous agents. He believed there was a great deal of good and of evil, both in the North and South erie Paper, if established, would raixea a blaze in places where they were now at peace If this paper was to be introduced he iifted up his hands in the name of God in opposition to it. He would never recommend nor take it, but would regard it as a mischievous instrument, calculated to stir up strife between the brethren of the church of God. Rev. Thomas S-wall followed, taking the same ground with the last speaker. “He wished, with him, to have it to say iu futare that he had with the minority lifted up bis hand to stay this project. He asked the bretbren to look back over the cireuits which they had traveled, aud see if they could find this-great derth of religious lit- erature that bad been put up in argument. With all this controversy about slavery in the capital of the nation need we Methodist preachers drag it inte the cousecrated walls of the Church? He hoped in God, not! Mr. Clem stated, in behalf of the committee that they disclaimed, in every sense of the word, the charge of endeavoring to make the peoposed journal a controversial one. Directly the oppo- site wasthe object of the committee. Rev. I-aac Gibson here made a few remarks in relation to the pending question, and advocated the institution of the proposed journal with many well put arguments. After some further discussion, the proposition to establish the paper was carried, and it was decided that its name should be ‘ The Bal'imore Christian Advocate ” Atmost a Disastrous Fire.—We understand that the buildtag formerly occupied by the Home Department, and now in use by the Treasury De- partment, came very near being consumed by fire on Friday last. It appears that the hearths are laid on the wooden joists of the building, and the fire worked its way through the bricks. For awhile there was considerable excitement and alarm, and but for the timely discovery of the fire, and the prompt action taken to subdue it, the Goverument would probably have lost a con- siderable amount of valuable papers. How important, then, on the part of those tn charge, to push on with despatch the fire-proof buildings now in course of erection for the pur- poses of the Treasury Department. Tae Water Worxs —Mr. Brown, last night, after introducing a resolution in the Council in- structing the committee on drainage and distri- bution of water to inquire what Preliminary mea- sures should be taken to secure the distribution of water to the citizen at the earliest practicable pce after its introduction in the city by the Jnited States, stated that he had been assured by the bs ifthe of that work, that the water would be Introduced on Pennsylvania avenue by December next ; and so sure was that officer of his success, that he had begun to prepa-e for lay- ing the pipes in the western section of the city. Tue Britvixe burnt on Saturday night near the Ouservatory was not the public schoolhouse, as bas been supposed. but was a small structure, called Potomac Chapel, belonging to an associa- tion of the Methodist Church, and in which re- ligions services were fo:merly held by this de- noinination. but has latterly been used by the Episcopal denomination for Sabbath School pur- poses. The fire is supposed to have originated through the incautious use of fire by persons lodging in the building A Livery Party.—Yesterday a quartette of fast females, who weve driving through Pennsyl- vania avenue in a hired vehicle, at a rate, and in a style not approved by law, attracted the atten- tion of officers Carter and pet at who stopped the horses and arrested the g’hals. They were taken to the oflice of Justice Donn, were charged with drunkenness and profanity, found guilty, and each fined $5 and costs.

One thing, we think, is very certain; and that is, that some portions of our streets cannot be made much Worse by the experiment. We were visited yesterday by a very consider- able fall of snow—some four to six inches deep. The weather continues bay 4 cold for the season, and our river has become thoroughly blocked up by ice. Navigation for the present is enti ely suspended. Our ice merchants are still busy gathering a much better article than they have been able to gather before this season; that they ae beg ants it from four to six inches thick, clear and solid. From present indications the supply of wood, in the yards of our dealers, will be amply sufi cient to carry them throngh the cold season. We thiok it more than likely, however, that the su py. of anthracite or hard coal will fall short. In this connection, we may remark, however, that if any one should fall short in hard coal, they can flod at the yard of Orme and Kurtz, the best article of Cumberland coal which hasdeen offer- ed for sale In the District for some time. The pulpits of the Presbyterian, Methodist Protestant, and both the Methodist churches were filled on Sabbath last by ministers in at- tendance at the Conference now sitting in your city. In the two last, Missionary anniversaries were held and something like $400 raised for the support of the cause. It may not-be amiss for us to direct the attention of those interested to the advertisements of Messrs. Godey & Wheatley, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Boucher. Mr. Bs lot of Canaries is doubtless ‘equal to any now for sale in the District. Owing to naviyation upon our river and canal being closed by ice, there is very little doing in the flour and grain market, and no change worthy of note has occurred in, prices. s. @ ETOWN ADVERTISEM'TS.
