CounciL Bopeet.—The first measure of note 1m the business of the Councils on Monday even- ing was the BILL FOR THE RELIEF OF THE OUT-D~OR POOR. This bill was reported with a substitute author- saing the e of one hundred cords of wood by the » to be distributed under the direc- tien of t ‘hief of Police to the poor of the city during the winter. Mr. Lioyd thought this a mistaken idea of «barity. The citizens who are able are willing to take upon themselves the relief of the peor in their respective wards, and they are now moving in this matter. He thought he peererenien roposed, a mere d' im the bucket, altogether fastmetent for more than two or three days in severe weather; aod its passage would retard the voluntary operations of the citizeas, who would consider that, in addition to-their voluntary con- triputions, the expense of the city movements would be also drawn from their pockets. Mr. Powel! was not opposed to the distribution of the wood, but he wanted it done in a different Mieoner. Instead of placing it in the hands of te police, he thenght that it should be placed cut, ward committees thorougbly acquainted Withahe residents, and who would not ve likely te distribute it but to deserving poor. In the nt shape be should vote against it; but if he distribution is by committees in the w he would vote for it cheerfully. Mr. Malloy said if the money were given to the wards it would be no better attended to than ‘by the Chief of Police, whose officers LG eden te him daily, would give bima thorough knowl- edge of the worthy poor who would apply tor Mlief agd prevent imposition ‘The substitate was adopted. REFUND 3 FOR LICKNSKS UNEXPIRED. This question, whieh was a source of frequent discossion in the last Council, was bronght up at this meeting by a bill for revefof G BH. B White & Co., reported by the committee of claims Mr White oceupying a store on Peonsyivania avenue, had paid for a liceuse tothe Corporation Finding that his business did not remunerate hom, be gave It up, and the «tore was immediately occupied by anotber person, who also paid for a license; and Mr. White asked that the amount of the unexpired term be refunded Mr. Orme said that the same bill bad been be- fore the last Council, and was then rejected. It was then known that Mr. White occupied the store, and was coupnected with another store on the avenue. This branch did not pay so well, aud it was given wp, most of the stock was re- moved to the other store; and it was xaid that White & Co. received a large bonus for the store they hed left and then applied for relief. Mr. Wiison thought the amount might be re- funded with great propriety, since the Corpera- tion bad received payment for two licenses for the some store in one year. Theclaim he deemed stone Mr. Lloyd said that in the last Council he was opposed to the priuciple, and stood by Mr. Clark in opposition to it t this Council had set the precedent ia three cases: Kilmon’s, and Baden & Lownde’s, aw this, because he thought the claim as just as either of the others. Mr. Powell said he would correct his frien ‘This was a mucb stronger case than Kilmon’s; for in that case the applicant bad an opportunity of transferring his license, but did not; and in this case, the applicant could not. The bill was rejected—yeas 4, nays 15. TUK HACKNEY CARRIAGE BILL. This bill is amendatory of the act relating to hackney carriages, &c , and provides for the li- ceusing of drivers, regniating prices, &c Mr. Wallace introdaced several amendments First, the cnarge for cach passenger 13s miles, 25 cents; second, the charge for carrying one truvk shall be 25 cents, every additional trunk, 15 cen's; adep ed. Mr. Wallace moved a proviso to the second section, that for the detention of a hack over one hour, for the first hour the charge shall be one dollar, and for every additional hour scventy- five cents; lost. Mr. J moved an amendment, that each dri- ver sball carry'a card on which shall be printed the namé of the owner and the number of the hack, and which shall be presented to the pas- seuger ia bis hack; adopted. Mr. Wallace moved an amendment by which it Is made a penal offence for any driver to occupy the pavement when on the stand assigned them, unless iu actual employment; lo-t. Mr. Bohrer moved to amend by adding a pro vise that wo driver shall take his whip from the — while on the streets or public thoroughfares; ost. Mr_ Jones moved to insert “omnibuses” in the list of drivers to be licensed; carried. He also moved an amendment requiring all drivers to wear a badge indicating their occupa- ten when on duty; lost. Mr. Wallace moved to repeal all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act; carried. And the bill, with the amendments, were re- ferred to the police committee to be perfected. THE Tax List. Mr. Mobun introduced a joint resolution au- theorizing the Collector to cali for proposals from the city daily papers for the publication of the tax List now being made up. Mr. Wallace said he would be glad to see the resolution adopted. In addition to the fact that be believed a great saving of expense to the city would result frem 1t, it eeeld ghee exhibita Spirit of impartiality in the distribution of the City’s patrouage that bad never before been ex- hibited. We have had evidence enough of the cost of publication under the present systom— the expending of $3,000 or $9,000 for what, by an exbibrtion of a liberal spirit, we might have bad done for $3,000 or $1,000 OF one be was tired of this partialety, and fell satisfied that by abol- — it the interests of the city would be better ser Mr. Lioyd thought that tt would be necessa’ to pass 4 law sopenins alllaws Inconsistent with such aa act ‘. Lioyd explained that a law ‘was passed by which the publication wax given tothe American Organ some years ago, which repealed the law then existing. Since then that law bas been repealed and the present system adopted, and he thought that a repealing act would be necessary in order to give this work to the lowest bidder by contract The joint resolution was referred to the ways and means committee. BR OF APPARATUS. A joint resolution authorizing the Mayor to teenafer to the Anacostia Fire Company the suc- tion formerly belonging to the Northern Liber- tes’ Company was reported by Mr. Parker. Mr. Lioyd moved to amead by inserting until another company is formed in ihe northern sec- thon of the city Mr. Bobrer saw no reason for the amendment Since the disbanding of the Northern Liberties Company there hed been no alarms or fires in thal section. previously they were coutinually occurring {If there was a company formed it would receive the fostering care of the Corpora- tien This transfer is made to save an expense of $900 to the Corporation Mr. Mobun moved to amend by adding “until — by the Corporation ** b amendments were iejected, and the joint resolation 5 After the transaction of some unimportant bus}- bess, the Board adjourned Potice Cases —Serenth District—Yesterday, Officer Fanning arrested Isaiah Queen, colored, and Jobn Buchanan, white, two Jebus, who were amusing themselves and a crowd of wit- nesses by playing ‘‘lap jackets” on the street.

The occasion moreover is one upon which sympathy in bebalf of a outbiul lady, touched with the spiritof blind Milton, may be gratitied, and the noblest benevo- lence be exercised. Th vem will be delivered this evening at Forrest Gall, Georgetown. She bas distinguished recommendations and testt- monials of genius from the Hon. Edward Everett and other eminent men. Doors epen at 7%. ex ercines will commence atc o’clock. Tickets of admission preseuted to the public at the nominal sum of 25 cents. River.—The steamer Diamond State, usually due at 10a. m. every Friday morning from Bal- timore, had not arrived at Riley’s wharf at that hour this morning; and it was supposed that she had encountered ice on her passage, which had Probably detained her. At Magruder & Stone's wharfarrived this morn- ing schooner Mary Stevens, from Philadelphia, with 91 tons of coal for Fowler & Co. Also, arrived last evening, schooner Sam’l R. Vinton, from Norfolk, with 200.000 North Caro- lina shingles. The Vinton enconntered a gale jn the bay, which carried away her mainsail, and broke one of ber top masts, but done no further damaze. At Riley’s wharf arrived within the pist day or two SW bushels of fine oysters, the largest half of which yet remain unsold. Prices for the best quality 50 cents per bushel.

The other consists in the ‘ idle, disorderly or tamultuous assemblages of negroes,’? of their dances, balis, or assemblies held without a license or permit from the Mayor. The strict enforcement of those laws has been determined upon, and it is very probable we may have to register the names of some who are in the habit of constituting disorderly gatherings in front of churches and other public places. Disrressinc Occugnence —Last night, a young man of estimable character and fine ta® nt, named John Hart, came to his death on L street, between Fourth and Fifth, in a most dis- treasing manner, by getting accidentally bung on the palings of a fence. It seemed from what we could learn of the circumstances, that young Hart, who is the son of a very esti- mable gentleman, (formerly connected with the Charleston, S.C, papers.) came to his boarding- house at a fate hour and attempted to climb over the ings of the front yard, and tn doing xo, his foot apparently slipped and he was caught by the neck tn a manner to strangle him to death. A faithful dog which was with kis master, nad endeavored with all his power tu relieve him from the peril, and in doing so, tore the clothes entirely off from young Hart. in his « fforts to pull him down. When found this mo ning, the body was stiff and cold, and the clothes torn io shreds by the dog, lay scattered about, the faithful ani- mal keeping guard over the dead body of his master.

Tax Sraino.—The frequent complaints of the Tesidents of the Second Ward, on account of the failure of the pumps to yield a supply of water, has induced Commissioner Rawlings to set about devising a plan to relieve them.
