Counci, Procagpines, Nov. 16.—Hoard of Aldermen.—The Chair (Mr. Semmes) laid’ hefore the Board @ communication from the Mayor, announcing the approval of the following acs, viz: Act to protect the interests of the Corpora- tion of Washington in the suit now pending between tbe said Corporation and the Wash- ingion and Alexandria Railroad; act author- igng the Jaying of a flag footway across 14th street west and C street south; act to iay a fing joolway in the First ward; act to amend an act in reJntion to # sewer in the Sixth ward; act making additional appropriation to grade and gravel I street north, from 7th to 10th streets west; an uct to lay a flag footway across F street sonth, a: the imtersection of 9th street ‘west; and an act for the relief of B. W. Fergu- ron, Mr. Turton extended an invitation to the Board to visit the fair of the Western Presby- terran Church, a: Odd Fellows’ Hall; and the invitaticn Was accepted. Mr. Brown, trom the committe? of conterence onthe ditagrering voies on the bill to increase the salaries of certain officers of the Corpora- tion, reported a snhbstitute giving the Commis- sioner of Improvements of each ward 3800; the Folice Magistrates, $600 each; Clerks of the Eastern and Western Markets, 100 cach; Mes. fenger to the Board o Aldermen, $200; Mas- senger to the Bourd of Common Council, $300 and compensation of Water Rogistrar, $1,800. The substitute was adopted Mr. Pepper, from iraprovementsa committee, asked tote discharged from the further con- sideration of the bill to widen the area and put a vault in square No. 453, and the bill to grant J. H. Semmes and others the privilege of put- ling vaults under the streets, The committee was cischarged, and a general bill for vault- ing the streets snd avenues was introduced, and it was orderrd to be printed, and its con- riceration postponed till next meeting. Mr. Pepper, trom same conmmitive, reported favorably upon 2 bill to pay a deficiency to grace and gravel 3d strect wast, from Penusyl- yenia avenne to C street south, which was ussed, ! he following were introduced and passed, vix:—By Mr. Turton—An act to pay a de- ficirncy_in the appropriation to grade and giayel [ street north, trom Connecticut aye- nie to Pennsylyania avenoe; an act tolaya uew gutler oul street north, irom 1; to Verment ayenue; By Mr. Gordon to Ixy fiag footways across certain streecta in the Sixth Ward. Mr. Brown introduced a bill to increase the compensation of the Mavor to $3,040), (to com- menee sth r the second Monday in June, t+01.) | which was referred. Bir, Utermehie, from the committee on pol: «dito be discharged from the fursher con- sioeration of the joint resolution relative .o the ors Tuction of a bridge over the Potomac by the Washington and Alesandrix Rallroad. So ordered. Mr. Utermeble also made an adverse report upon the b.Mantherizing tbe appropriation of Seyyco0 cut of the times and peat collected y tae Metropoli an Police, tor + building S18 108 houses and the hy tung of the same. Mr. Utermehle s that his report was notin order io dispose of finslly, out in order that the Board mightihaye a nd free di 1 upon it. His objection was that no appropriation snould be made except for a speci! Conmils bad no rghtto se Mr. le pper hoped the mativr would be well considered und fully investigated. Ir the city had suy acthority whatever he desired to know it. The police toree (and he respected the force itsvlf) were arrocating to themselves un- ustal powers, and he beheved the matter shouidybe thoroughly invesiigated. At some future time, when the bill came up, he would have something to say upon the subject. The | police torce desired to control all thmgs im the city, sud he was opposed to that. Mr. Brown defer ded the Poiice Commission- ers. He ssid he certainly would be very much astonished at the extraordinary remarks of the | Alcerman trom the Fourth Ward (Mr. Pep- per), if he had not long since learned never w be astonished at anything which that erratic, if not Quixctic, gentleman conid say on this floor. The Alderman is so much in the habit of exercisirg his fancy here, and talking about Iratters which he does not understand, or even pretend to have investigated, that he had here- lofcre allowed bis flings at the Metropolitan Police to pass unnotieed, but shall do sono longer. He asks, “who ‘wire-worked’ this system through Congress; who engineered this ‘bill of abominations’! certainly not the peo- ple and he never heard of it until it be- came alaw.” The police of this city had be- come notoriously corrupt. Under Mayor Tow- ers it became wholly a partisan police, and was continued &s such during the administra- tion of Dr. Magruder and Col. Berret, to the destruction of its hsefulness and the disgust ot the whole community. This was its character im the spring of 1561, and then it became, toa great extent disloyal to the Government; and under the lead of one of its lieutenants, (now an officcr in the rebel army,) many of its members openly favored the rebellion, and gloried in their treason. These facts were known to all, and public sentiment every- where in the city demanded a reform. Cone gress, Aware Of all these things, and at the instance of Many good citizens, Mayor Wal- lach being one, and urged by these councils, gave us the metropolitan system, (which had been proved in New York and other cities.) and that too, at the expense of the United States, thereby relieving our treasury of near #10,000 annually. There was no “wire- working” or “engineer- ing” needed to pass this wholesome reform, nor does it require any landation from him to com- mend it to all law-abiding people. The Presi- dent, in selecting the Commissioners, took care to so organize the Board of Police as that it could not be partican. He was appointed because he was known to have been a Douglas democrat; others were Bell men, and not more than two were, in 1360, Lincoln men. This police has been in existence more than two years, during which time all the elements of crime have been. vomited upon,as from other cities. War, which brings in its train always demoraliza- tion, has raged around us—thieves, burglars, cut-throats, and villains of every description, have gathered to Washington, and yet as good order has been preserved, and life and prop- erty are now as secure here as it ever was in the “piping times of peace,” when we had only a village, with tew strangers among us, and offering no attractions to bad men;—now we have one hundred thousand people of all classes, grades, colors and character. But for this police nothing would be safe; and yet it is to be tradaced here, and Congress lectured for an expenditure of $110,000each year to support it. Truly this is ingratitude, not to have been expected by those whe generously gave us this beneilcent mensure. The Alderman szys the police will do well enough, but the Board ef Police wants to grasp all the power of the Cor- poration, and, he supposes, will finally swal- low itup. The Board does no such thing, and the Board needs no vindication from the at- tacks of the Alderman. The bill on the table merely proposes, after having relieyed the Corporation from all ex- pense of the police,to set apart the fines and orteitures collected for violations of the mu- nicipal ordinances, for the purpose of erect- ing, furnishing, heating, and lighting conve- nient and suitable station houses in the city, which the act ef Congress compels them to do. These station honees to be built whenever and as fast as a sufficient sum shall have accu- mulated trom these tines, and would, ia his opinion, noterequire more than two years, when this fund would be applicable for other city improvements. The plan meets the ap- prebation of the Mayor; will satisfy the Board of Police, and furnish the certain means of building station houses, the property of the city, which would be an ornament to the Metropolis, anda proper response to the gen- ercsity of Congress. Then we should have the Metropolitan Police a permanent institation, supported by the liberality of theGoverament, and, unlike any other municipality in the civil- ized world, the laws and. ordinances rigidly enfoiced. and the public peace preserved with- out costing our tax payers one single cent. Mr. Pepper said he Dad heard a long disser- tation upon a small matter. He did not serve Wod Mammion,,and° as an Alderman in this chamber his. risiness' interests of the Cocporation, at 9 the corporate’ authorities he could not get up and rail against them, buthe wanted albtoun- derstand that he had nohand in-cailing ont the marines to fire upon the ditizéns of Washington. The police force he respected, but the Commis- sioners of Police were-@ different matter, and when the su came,up he, wonld give the Board a plain talk, . mmes made a statement ‘a8 to the cost ill 2 5 and the difficulties f building 0! y had fo contend with, and instanced the they had.to cc: ea af the Gen ‘discussed by Messrs Utermehle, Brown, and Pepper, andthe farther purpose, ind that Tt thea tines. ‘The question was further. consideration of the question was post; till next meeting, and made the special order.

Mr. N. D. Larner introduced a joint resolu- tion authorizing the Mayor to make a new contract with the Washington Gas Light Com- pany. Mr. Shepherd asked that the resolution be referred to the special committee on that sub- ject, and referred to a bill amending the laws in relation to supplying the city with gas hav- ing been passed in the last Council, and he thought that the committee should inquire into the motion. He had no doubt but that the Gas Light Company owed the Corporation several thousands of dollars for gas charged for but not consumed. The bill he referred to had been sent to the Aldermen, but they did notact act on it. Mr. N. D. Larner had not objected to refer- ring, and stated that the bill the gentlemen: Mr. Shepherd) aliuded to had gone up stairs, and the chairmain of the committee Putitin his pocket. Mr. Shepherd suggested that a resurrection committee be appointed. = The resolution was reterred. Mr. Shepherd alse introduced the follo wing, which was adopted: Whereas, itis becoming in a christian people to return thanks to the Giver ot all good, for the manifold blessings lle vouchsates them as A community; and whereas his Excellency, the President of the United States, has set 3} Thureday, the 2th instant, to be observed as a day of public thank&giving and prayer, therefore He it resolved, That his Honor, the Mayor, be, and he is hereby requested to isssne his Prociemation recommending the observance of hursday, 26th instant, as a day of thanksgiv- ing and praise to Almighty God for the mercies of the past year, and prayer for a restoration of peace and traternal fveling thronghout the Union, inviting oll citizens trom their several secular employments to unite in a proper ob- Fervance of the day.

Mr. Canfield, from the committee on policd, reported the bill regulating the sale of news- papers on Sunday, with xmendments, striking ont the first section, which prohibits newspa- pers, pamphlets, &c., from being sold on Sun- day in stalls or stores; and stmking out the word “sale” and “10 o’clock” in the second section, thereby prohibiting the crying aloud of papers on Sunday at any hour. Mr. N. D. Larner said that there was one paper which should be suppressed (the Phila- delphin Mercury) which was a jar he ey head, and if by the passage of the bill a could be suppressed, much good would be ac- complished. = ‘Mr. Wileon wis opposed®to the past it stopped, the sale of. papers 10 he wopldn’t be able to get his, apres He oe ee outer wards, bat 2. o’clock. mest2e iW Mr. ND.

Mr. ens Moved to lay the recommenda- tion of the committee on the table. Mr. Shepherd moved to lay the whole bill on the table. He thought it ail small busineas. Mr. M. Larner didnot think it right that they should atiempt to legislate that it was a sin to sell papers at any particular hour on the Sab- bath, and moved that the bill be indefinitely Postponed. Mr. Shepherd remarked that when the bil! Was bejore the last Council he moved an amencment sequins the newsboys to attend church on the Sabbath under a penalty of five dcllars, and an old gentleman took him to ac- count for it, and that the same man he had seen athis back gate in the alley buying the paper ob Sunday mernming.

Mr. L. stated that for several years past the Corporation bad owed the bank seyeral thou- sand dollars, and thatinteresthas been regu- | larly paid on it, and ha thought that ic was time thatsuch things were stopped, when we have forty or fitty thousand dollars now on de- posit there. Six thousand dollars, be believed, ; had been paid the bank for interest, and he would like to understand such financiering. Mr. N. D. Larner stated that while Mr. Semmes was acting Mayor another debt was discoyered atthe Bank of Metropolis, and it ‘Was soon cancelled. Mr. Shepherd asked that the resolution be amended so as to inquire what amount of im- terest had been paid, when the debt was con- tract d, who by, and why: which amendment was accepted, and tlie resolution passed, The committee ot conference on the bill to equalise the aries of certain oificers of the Corporation, reported (hat they had agreed on ; Making the salaries as follows: Commission- ers of Im ;rovements, #4000; Police Magistrates, i; Clerks of the Eastern and Western Mar- kets, 2400; Messenger of the Bourd of Aider- wen, $2U0; Messenger of the Common Cou s $300; and Water Registrar, $1,510, to t.ke effect trom July 31, 1563, and atter some discussion the report was concurred in.

The Attorney Genera! moved in the Court ot Exchequer for an extension of time, in which to move for a new trial in reference to the tor- feiture ofthe suspected gunboat Alexandra; but, after explanations by the Chief Baron, rel- ative to his summing up in the case, it was ar- ranged that the Attorney General should bring up the case on the Sth inst. The Morning Post thinks the discussion shows that the law officers of the crown enter- tain but feeble hopes of setting aside the former verdict, but the Post says, it the municipal law ia not violated, it is still to be decided by the Legisluture whether international obligations ‘were not disregarded. The Times -ays, unless technical difficulties im je the proceedings, the law in the case of the Alexandra and the suspected rams will be shortly settled, and trusts the decision will re- move any just cause of complaint without suddenly restricting industry. The Venezuelan Government has bid for Alexandra; the Barings gueranteeing the trans- action, but the Government declined to sanc- tion it.
