After being discharged, Unnis proceeded down Bridge street as far as the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank, and then proceeded down Congress street to Water street, and along Water street westward ly to Potomac street, near the fish wharf, and then up Potomac street to the neighborhood of the mar- ket, where he stayed a few inoments, and then re- turned to Water street, and then proceeded east- wardly along Water street till he came near High street.

Mr. Rives expressed great reeret at the ground assumed by the Mayor. He lad opposed the pas- sage of this bill at first on the ground that the Cerporation was not able to stand the expense, and in voting against it now he should be governed by the same principle. Mr. R. stated that if he had been here, and could have advised with the Mayer about it, he should have advised him to divide the responsibility with the Councils, rather than throw it off, as he had done The question being then taken, the bill passed by a vote of ayes 10, noes 2. On motion of Mr. Smith, the Asylum bill was trken up, and. on the recommendation of the com mittee, it was rejected, on tue ground of the flaw alluded to in the report.
