V pecttally, fciAcD WALLACR, Mayor. Mr. Lioyd thea arose and sald, 1 canao permit this sad ocession to pass without add ingmy bumble uibete to ihe memory of the Aistinguisted deceased. The name of Wm. A Bradley is intimately associated with my earliest recollections, aud aithough it was not my gvod-forinve to furm bis acquaintance { comparatively a very recent period, 5 . the high estimation in which ne Iweys held by the citizens of Washing- erally, respective of rank oF po-ition, | page 1 assure you a deep and lasing smpression on my Tmind. My first interview with bim, a few was excead- | vgly pleasant and althoagh | 1 “felt somewhat ed oat firs social, genial disposition, aud highly e & ind iestructive conversation, soon moved all reetramt and made me feel per- oly tree andeasy. I lett his office satistied te face that Fad met with a genlemac who was jusily entitled to ail praise, xud who bod proved himself worthy of tie honors had been heaped on him by Ris fellow- ‘uzens Mr. Bradley has filled high and r- sible positions in our city—as Presiden two of our prominent dankic uses. as chief Magistrate of e bead of a well-known as the adviser t snd charitable t= a promin sUrauce comp ud chief in onr benevoie every mo ted to redound to nevent and of our city and people, discbarg 1e duties pertaining to the se al offices to which he wag as: a with si nd profit to the commanty nd (rhe. conrteous. kin z, he won the respect ai whe had the pleasure aintince. He was & tree iriend No cne approached nim ting who Went away so win! So; his pi rings were always open to re- ve the poor and distressed. Never shall I forget che stormy evening, about ehteen months ago. A merting was called Le Council chamber to devise ways and men Telieve the desittuie in our midst. Wm. A saley, 0.0 Anu feeble as be was, on that co! a disseree able night. was there, and presided. { although but few mere p.esen’, he re- d to ‘be close, encouraging us to perse- vere with the yood work and offering all the sistance in bis power. This one circ ce will give you an idea ef the man pevolence was indeibly stamped on bis countenance, and his professions were emptly ones. In his death the poor have jost 4 simcere and uue frieud and benefactor. Yes, afier a life well spent, he bas passed away toa bright and better world, and we must soon follow. Time is flying and the grave is opening toour view: let us profit by his example, and so improve the brief hours left us, tbat when we come to die, we may be erabled to say with the dying Christian. «I am ready; thy will be done on earth as it is done | iu heaven.” Mr. Lioyd then submitted the following res- olauons: Whereas the Board of Aldermen and Board of Commen Council of the city of Wasningto: have heard witb profound sorrow of the dea of our bighly esteemed feliow-citizer, Wm. A Bradley; and whereas, his enterprise, energ: mntegrity and heartfel: devotion to the best in- terests Of the city for the last sixty years past, | bave endeared him to the citizens of Wash- | ington and made his name as familiar as house- | hold words; und whereas, it is eminently | right and proper that the representatives of the people, in council assembled, should ex- | prese their sense of the irreparable loss they have Sustained in his death: therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Wm. A. Bradley tbe city has lost a true friend—the poor a sincere benefactor—and the country au upright and ureful man. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the fymily of the deceased in this their hozr | of afiliction: but, while sympathizing, tt i comforting to know that in the walks of life the distinguished deceased discharged his Gury and died in the hope of a blissful immor- tality. Resolved further, That we will attend the funeral in @ becy. and that © committee of two members of the Board ot Alderman and three mempers of the Board ef Common Council be to Sct in conjunction with the yor fo make the necessary arranzements. Ived further. Thatthe Mayor be. and is hereby autnorived to transmit a copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased. Resolved, That as a fartber mark of respect ail business iu the City Hall be suspended dur- ing the remainder of the day. Mir. Kichurds then briefly addressed the meeting. He cheertuily concurred in all tha bad been said by the gentleman who had pre- ceded nim. The deceased was a man well- known in this community, and was first and icremost in everything connected with the ad- | vancement of the city’s interest, Bis loss will be tbe more keenly felt. He was a warm inend, affectionate relative, and ever ready to extend the hand of fellowsbip to all in need. | Dir. Bradley, he said, needed no encomiums {bis bana, and therefore without detaining he body apy longer, he would bring bis re- marks to a close. ‘The vote then being taken on the rezolutions, | they were unanimously adopted. Mr. Lioyd etated tha: after an interview | ‘with the Mayor he had been requested to an- | nounce that His Honor desired the attendance | of the Board of Aldermen at their Chamber iu | the City Hall to-morrow (Sunday) at balf-past o'clock p m.. when they would proceed to | she residence of the deceased in @ body to at- lend the funeral.

Mr. Pfau, Viee-President, presided, and announced that the meeting had been called by the Mayor to taxe suilabie ac- tion in reference to the death of the late Wm. A. Bradley, a former Mayor of the city—a man better than whom Washingion never | knew. His character was an extraordinary one, blending trath. piety, charity and philar- thropy. Commencing bis career in the capa- city of bank messenger, he successively te: came & director, president of the bank, presi- dent of an in<urauce company, mayor aud postmaster of the city. he deceased was a silaveholder, not stor profi but soTr vue purpose v. preventing the separa. tion ot families, and at the solicitation of ihe friends and relatives, be purchased a number WhO were about to be carried to the southern Tice flelds and cotton plantations.

Mr. Rodier | also stated that he would reduce the toll on the ferry.

Mr. Tenney considered the latter thy more important resolution, and it was a matter for the consideration of which the rieeiing was princip=ilv called. The Corporation, be said, bad yoted $10,000 for the prosecution of a suit against the rebuilding of the agueduct, which he considered a good etep. It was io the interes: of the retail dealers of the town that the aqueduct should be rebuilt. He did not know whether it was wiser t) go for the | building of the bridge, or to resist it, but he did not put that question in the resolation. Lt cught to be understood by the Baltimore and | Obvio railroad that Georgetown was in opposi- tion to the passage of a railroad over aque- duct bridge without an equivalent therefor. The appropriation has been made. and the matter is going on, and It appears that a con- tract bus been given ont for the rebuilding of the bridge. Mr. Thomas gave a short history of the ac- tion of the corporation in appropriating the $10,000 for the prosecution of legal measures against the rebuilding of the aqueduct. The leesees of the Alexandria Canal Company, he said, bad no idea of rebuilding the aquedact, but were holding out for am opportunity to | dispose of the bridge to advantage. He rather thought that the resolution was prema- | ture. Mr. Tenney said in his opinion the resolu- tion was not premature. and that it was fitting | and proper that the meetiog should express an opinion in the matter before it. and present that opinion to the corporation. Mr. Thomas moved te amend the resolution fo that itshould read ‘the sense of the citi zens of Georgetown,” which was accepted. | ‘The resolution was put toa vote and car- | Tied, after which the meeting adjourned.
