The Tax Clerk this evening informed a entieman that e was but adifference of afew thousand dollars in the tax receipts. Mr. Brown said that he only recognized the Mayor of the city in thie matter. He is the foun- tain head, and the only authority to be taken officially bere. A desultory discussion followed, when Mr. Semmes moved to strike out all after “$20,000” in the first section, and insert as follows: ** Th no certificate be issued for a greater amount then ene bundred dollars, nor for a less amount than Dfty doliars.”’ , After further discussion, this amendment wasso wod ified as to fix the amoant of the certificates at one hundred dolisrs each; and was thus ado) ‘The bill was then amended so as to make said certificates receivable at par in payment of taxes due tue Corporation for the year 1561. ‘The bill was then read a third timeand " Mr. Brown, from the same committee, reported back to the board an act amendatory of the act providing for the assessment and valuation of property in the city of Washington, ete., approved May 30, 1549. = .

Mr. Morgan replied that it was useless to dodge the question.

This avowai caused quite a sensation, and but for the Interference of frientis. who carrled Mr. A.’s op- nt away, a fight might have ensued. About 9 o’elock p. m. a considerable crowd of people were assembled in Brown’s Hotel, and the everlasti ne ee was discussed with every ind!- cation of interest. - Two haar tery both a little better or worse for sundry liq bibations, sat talking to each other, and one de- tlared that he was a Union man; the other ex- pressed himself for immediate secession.

New Years’ Day was ushered in by different parties in different ways. A very pleasant ball was given by Company B, National Guard Bat- talion, at the Assembly Rooms. Another dancing party met at Franklin Hall, and the entire night in alternate dances and fi Nota square from this discord a party of jovial fellows made the night glorious with the vocal music, in pur Suance of an old German custom of singing the old year out and the new year in. And, asbefore stated, the various ‘‘watch-meetings” were largely attended and characterized by deep feeling. OUR VENERABLE NEIGHBOR, JOHN SessFoRD, Sr., sends his annual badget to the National In- telligencer, in which he givesan exhibit of the improvements in the city during the past year, as follows: Number of brick houses built 172, num- ber of frame do. 30—total 202.

In the Third Ward Mr. S. notices the new Guard-house, with its steeple and bell, and says in relation to the Center Market-liouse, that it is in bad condition, and a new one should be erect- ed without delay, for it cannot be doubted that the additional income would be increased to an amount siore than equal to the interest on its cost. ‘The hall above would always be in demand for the Mechanics’ Institute an ny other exhibi- tions.
