JAMES MELVILLE was born in Sydney, Aus- tralia, on the 15th of October, 1837—his father hay- ing emigrated frem Scotland to that rich country about thirty years ago, where he purchased a large tract of land and turned his attention to farming and stock raising. At the time of the birth of Mr, Melville, his father owned a large number of fine herses, and as 5000 as hia son’s perceptions were sufficiently formed to epable him to distinguish objects, he manifested an inherent love and ad- miration for the noblest of animals—the horse. As he grew in years this passion increased, and as he had ample opportunity te gratify it, he soon be- came an expert indriving and riding horses—those of the moe untameable and wild nature being his \yerites, In addition to Mr, Melville's superb herseman- ship, he stands unrivalled in athletic and gym. mastic exercises. With his accomplished sons, who inherit the talent und daring of their father, he gives a beautiful illustration of classic grourings, precetal poses, and splendid tableaux, lis success in this as in other branches of his spe: cialty is beyond comparison, and defies rivalry or Ne other artist ired such a profi ‘o other artiste ever acquired such a proficien: in these characteristic displays. vith certats innate Eres rarely seen in man, he enriches them with all the attributes of elegance and skill, and adorns them with an enthusiasm of actionand pic- turesque power truly fascinating, Second week of the beautiful Danseuse, M'LLE DESIRER, M’LLE DESIREE, M’LLE DESIREE, ee Becond week of the celebrated Pantomimi and Dancer, omimist M.

Resolved, further, That the committee whose duty it is to represent the interest of this Cor- poration before Congress be, and they are hereby, requested to present this subject to Congress atits next session, and urge favor- able action inthe premises; and in the event of such favorable consideration, to request of Congress that, in the bill making such appro- propriation, there shail be inserted a provision giving to the Corporation the power and au- thority to issue the bonds of the Corporation toasum not exceeding $100,000, to be put on an equal footing with the present funded debt of the Corporation; the money realized from the said bonds to beexpended in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore contem- plated. Mr. Canfield presented a claim of $10 dam- ages from George E. Ward, for the breaking of his carriage, caused by the imperfect condition of the streets. Reterred to committee on finance. Mr. Noyes presented memorials from John T. Ford, proprietor of Ford’s Theater, and U. D. Hess, acting manager of Grover’s Theater, remonstrating against the proposed increase of theatrical licenses, representing that the rate of license in this city how exceeds by $60) the higkest theatrical license in any other city in tne country, and that at the same time the expenses of conducting a theater in this city are greatly beyond those elsewhere. Referred to committee on police. Mr. Noyes presented the petition of Albert Brooks, in relation to the Corporation bounty, Referred to committee on finance. The bill for the relief of Wm. Thomas being the special order for this evening, was then taken up and further postponed. Also, @ bill «creating the office of Superin- tendent of Streets,” and for other purposes, was taken up. Mr. Utermehble favored the passage of the bill, but thought it would require two assistant superintendents, instead of one; and thought the superintendent’s salary should be fixed at 2,500, and the assistants’ at $1,250 each. On motien of Mr. Plant, the bill was post- poned to this night two weeks, and made the special order of that evening. Mr. Lloyd, from the committee on finance, reported back the petition of Martin King, and aakea that the commitiee be discharged from the further consideration of the same, and it ‘wasso ordered. . Also, without recommendation, the petition of Henry Kleiber, asking extra pay; postponed to this night one week. r Mr. Pepper, from committee on improve- ments, reported faverably Council bill making &n appropriation to pave a new gutter in First ‘ward; passed. Also, a bill from lower Board, entitled an act to provide for certain deficiencies; passed. Also, from the lower Board, a bill to lay a ‘utter on 3d street east, across the south side of street spark peace: Mr. Noyes effered (as & substitute for Coun- cil bill) & bill providing for laying water matinsjalong 10tn street west, from Eto F south.

Also, an amendatory bill providing for lay- ing a water main along 7th street west from E street south to H street south. Mr. Utermehle, from the committee on police, reported a bill for the protection of the citizens of Washington, and to facilitate the raising of its quota. This bill was amended, allowing but three runners instead of five, to substitute brokers; and passed. Mr. Plant, m the committee on the fire de- yartment, reported back the bill nominating George Noyes as police telegraph operator in place of Thomas Morrison, resigned. Nomina- tion confirmed. Also, reported back a bill for the relief ot Angus & Lewis; passed. Also, submitted a joint resolution requiring the Mayor to have a registry or directory of all persons doing business in the city of Washing- ton; passed. Mr. Canfield offered a preamble and resolu- tion regarding the summary dismissal of chil- dren from the Wallach school house, during re- cess and school hours, thereby endangering their health, and asking the Mayor to inferm the Board whether any rules were in existence pearing upon the resolution. Mr. Utermehle thought the resolntion was an unjust one, because it made a thrust at the ‘Trustees of the Public Schools. He thought if children did not get there in time. they should not be allowed to interrupt the morning devo- ing in late. oar Uaatield stated that the children were excluded frem al! parts of the ng, in case they were a few minutes late, not being allowed in any portion of it. Mr. Noyes said he apprehended the difficulty originated from the fact that in the construction of the building no rooms had been provided for pley rooms or Junch rooms. The idea had been keep down the expense as much as possibie, in consequence of the outcry against costly school-houses, and thus there were some defi- ciencies needing to be supplied, but which were being supplied as rapidly &s possible. The rules for the new building did not allow the school rooms to be used as play rooms or lunch rooms, and did not allow the pupils to enter during the devotional exercises, and these rules were very proper; but certainly some provision should be made for the children, and this he understood was being done. Mr. Cathran said that some stringent regula- tion was necessary to control the eight or nine bundred children who attended the school. More fault had been found with this school than with any other, and the blame was not with the trustees, If children would not con- duct themeelves properly, they should sutfer for it. The trustees contemplated building a play-room and lunch-roem for them in the rear of the main building; and he felt satisfied they would do what is right by the children. Mr. Gulick said that an investigation ot the whole affair would work some good; that thera were many defects which might be remedied ‘The apparatus in the building could not be made to heat the whole building properly ; the school had to be suspended a day or two on that ace count when there was cold weather ; that the trustees complained of it themselves; besides, the trustees would haye a fair chance to detend themselves. Mr. Pepper was of the same opinion, and felt sure the trustees would prefer that plan. On motion, the matier was referred to the Fifth and Sixth Ward delegations. The joint resolution, (otfered by Mr. Uan- field,) authorizing the Mayor to offer a reward of $1,000 was returned trom the Board of Com- mon Council with an amendment, designating the day of the actas the with, and passed the board as ameried.

Also, one f. the Mayor enclosing a letter from the Water Registrar asking that an ap- propriation be made for repairs of water pipes and fixtures of 21,000 inadvertently omitted from the general appropriation bill. The Reg- jotrar cays, that during the current fiscal year, the expenses will be much heavier than usual, owing to the general increase of prices, the ex- tension of water distribution, and the changes of grades of streets, and the necessity of chang- ing many of ourstop cocks and fire plugs for the convenience of the track of the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company.

The Council bill to prevent violations of the Sabbath, was received from the Aldermen With amendments, and the first amendment, allowing papers to be cried on Sunday aontil 11 o’clock, being under consideration— Mr. Peugh remarked that the police would find much difficulty by reason ef the time, in enforcing the law. Mr. Moore said that as the representatives of a Christian people they could not haye done otherwise than to haye passed the bill as it was originally passed by the Council, but the bill was now neither flesh nor fowl—one por- tion of it sustained the moral law, while an- other portion was in direct opposition to it. The barber shops were required to be closed, and gentlemen could not get shayed or take a bath peaceably and orderly, while another class—the newsboys—were allowed to violate the holy Sabbath until 11 o’clock. He could see no reason for this discrimination. It was repugnant to his feelings that they should be called upon to amend divine law ina meas- ure, and it would be a disgrace to allow such 8 Jaw as this to go upon the statute books. Mr. Larner stated that no paper was cried aloud after 11 o’clock except the copperhead paper from Philadelphia. Mr. Moore was sorry thatan attempt was made in this bill to legislate against any par- ticular paper. They were here to legislate for the good of the peeple and not for any particu- lar set. Mr. Pengh said that the people were crying for an abatement of this nuisance. oe Mr. Ruff asked if whisky was medicine; he was informed that the princips! business of some of the druggists on Sunday was to SS st ky. md Pee Wright remarked that the bill ‘was ine consistent, as it allowed some work to be done on Sunday. Divine law had beea referred to, and ene portion of Divine law was that no ‘work shall be done on the Sabbath, and to make the bill consistent they should amend it by Providing that no man should shave him- sel! Mr. Edmondson asked if boot blacks were provided for. The amendments were non-concurred in, with the exeeption of the amendment in rela- tion to undertakers. The special order—the resolution authorizing the Mayor to make a new contract with the Gas Company—was taken up, when Mr. Moore moved an amendment that the ca.to be paid shall not exceed the price paid yy the General Government. Agreed to. ‘Mr. Moore said he thought of offering another amendment to the effect that the lighting and extinguishing of the lamps should be under the control of the city anthorities vided for, and he led to state that the entire expenditure of lighting the olty with one thousand lamps would be about $80,000, instead of $150,000, a8 some had claimed. There were now bu: 440 lamps tn the city, for the lighting of which the city was looked to for psy. Mr. L. instanced several streets where lights were hardly needed, and eent to the sec- retary’s table the following communication, which was read: Wasninoton, Nov. 2, 156), Noble D. Larner, Esq Common Council - Dar Sik: In reply to your inquiry of the 23d instant, I respectfully inform you that there never was a contract between the Oorpo- ration and the Gas Light Company concerning the lightingof the streetlamps. Mayor Maury, in 1553, fixed the number of hours he would have the lights to burn, the size of the burners to be used, and the amount the company should receive tor lighting, cleaniog and extinguish- ingeach lamp. The net price of gas at that time was 38 cents per 100 cubic feet, and the number of hours which the lamps were to be lighted was 1,296 per aunum, being 17 nights per month, and only * following the moon,” as Was then the practice in nearly all the large cities. A four feet burner being used, would give $25.70 8 year, or $2.14 per month, as the whole cost of each lamp, being for 5,184 feet of gas, Bt 3S cents, $i970,and $6 for lighting, cleaning and extinguishing, This fixed price per lamp has continued with the consent of the several Mayors ever since, but as the price of KAS WAS reduced from time to time, the number of hours of lighting was increased,so that the Oorporation always re- ceived the full benefit of each reduction, as will appear by the following table, made up from the books of the company : Net price Namber hours — Nomber of fret > ing. Conmnee.: Mr. Larner stated thatthie wasalready pro- proceed. 205 c., $6 a year per lamp, has never been changed, al- though we now pay fifty per cent. more for the same work than in I-03. Ido not believe there is a gas company on the continent that has ever made one dollar by lighting the street lamps, unless it may be Philadelphia, where the cost is about $1) a year for each lamp, though the expense of manufacturing gas is at least 20 per cent. less than in Washington. I am certain that we have lost many thousand dollars by supplying the street lamps with light. Ithas been about eleven years since there was an effort made to light the city lamps with g&4s, or rather to erect posts for this purpose, and during that period there have been 415 Jamps erected tor the Corporation, being an Annual ayerage of about 40. At this rate, it would require thirty years to light the streets and avenues in which gas mains are now laid. The expense of lighting each lamp under the Act of April ll, Is61, (twenty-four nights per month, from dark to daylight,) would now be about $3 33, instead of $2 14,each month. It is proper, however, I should state the fact that this company has for eighteen months past been furnishing gas ata ruinous loss, and intend again to apply to Congress for an increase in the present rates of charge, fixed two years and ahalf ago. Ourapplication in December last having been defeated in the House of Repre- sentatives, mainly, I believe, in consequence of the protest ot the Corporation against any increase in the price of gas, notwithstanding their knowledge of the then great advance (75 per cent.) in the price of labor, coal, and every other material, since Joly, Is62. The advance is now over 100 per cent, and I trust the Coun- cils will not do 4 similar act of injustice, but remember that— I «Whilst it is glorious to have & giant's strength, Yet it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.” Iam, &c., J.¥F. Brown. Mr. Moore offered an amendment limiting the time of contractfor one year. Agreed to. The resolution was passed. Adjourned. AMUSEMENTS, FORD'S NEW THEATER.
