Mr. Myers remarked that they could not serve uader Mr. Ellwood, and the Mayor said that antil Mr. Ellwood relieved Mr.S. they could obey the orders of | the latier. Mr. Myers replied that they would Hot remain to be dismissed by Mr. Ellwood, and handed the above letter to the Mayor, re- marking that it would be necessary for some one to see to the horses, although the hostler would see to them until sone one was sent down; and until Mr. Etlwood takes charze they would not see auy property destroyed if it, and retired, passing ‘good the Mayor. who said 1f they this course he could not | preventit While tnese parties were engaged in this intermew Mr. C.

Mr. Noyes, one of the operators of the fire-alarm, also, at the Mayor's request, waited on bi.a this morning, and informed him that be considered it bis duty to remain until reheved. This morning, those elected commissioners of the wards who did not qualify yest-rday filed their bonds and entered on the duties, and at their homes some were beset by large crowds, mostly colored te, asking employ- ment. Mr. Wnght @ force at work yes. terday aiternoon, being the first im the field, and before the day closes the work of clean: the alleys and gutters will be resumed in a! the wards, here js considerable canvassing being done among the members of the Councils in relation to the ofices mot yet filled.

Mavor Bowea at once sent for Mr. Eil wood and directed him to take possession of the house of No. 2. and Men to take the places of those whe had ued. Mr. Ellwood accord- ing! reached the engine-house of Ro. 2 abouy one o'clock, when the chief showed him over the building, that he :night eee the apparatns, &c., was in good order, and formally turned it over to him. Mr. E. then turning to Tom Bowie, col.,of the Fourth Ward, directed him to take charge of the house. Taere were @ number of young men abont the huase . includin, ber of members of the Company. and Bowie turned to the crowd and ordered them ont, saying that he had charge. A rush was made at Bowie, one min, not @ member of the SenEaays getting him by the throat, at which point Dewetive Bigley and officer Hill, aided 4 several memoers of the Company, got into the crowd, and, with sone trouble, succeeded in quelling the disturbance. The affair attracted quite a crowd, and tor & time things looked squally, som- of the outsiders threatening to go in and take Bowie out. in a short time, however, S ‘ant Framer, with a detail of the fifth pro- einct (Second Wecrpd yo arrived aad took @ position in front of the engine honse, and ihe crowd gradually dispersed.

H. Howard, assistant com- missioner ofgthe District of Columba, from which we take the following extracts: «The Tesult of the census taken shows that there has been no over-issue of rations to dependents The total number of adults enitted to rations as dependents is 553: the number of dependent children (who draw half rations) is 106; making & totul of dependent rations 651; which, together th five rations issued to white employes, es a total of 656 rations daily. The board were of opinion that a large number of the freed le now residing In the village, classed as dependents, are able to provide their own suppor'. Some of these are children of de- pendenis, who have become of suitable age t> care for themsel ves since they were sent there; others were sick and have recovered, others are the wives of anently disabled husbands. As a matter of economy, the board respectfully recommend that the asylum ot Freedmen's Village be discontinued as rapidly as practi- cable; first, closing the hospital by removing the sick to Freedmen’s Hospital, Washinzton, D. ©.; secondly, transferring the inmites to femements adjoining Freedmen’s Hoxpital, ‘Washington, 1). C,, as soon as the same can vacate, i. e., those dependents permanently disabled by age or disease. Tue Great Evrorgan Urrces, which gives us last performance in this city this eveniug, on the lot at foot of Eleventh sireet, is in ex: tent, the splendid character of its appoint- ments, and the excellence of its performances, the best and most satisfactory exhibition of the kind everseen in this city. A larger and more fashionable assemblage was never gathered under a circus tentin this city than that which attended the performance of last night. Amoug those present we noticed the English Loza- tion, (seated in a reserved space, cary finely decorated with American and English fags.) & portion of the Chinese Embassy, in the same seats. and numerous members of Con- grees. and other distinguished citizens. The Bell Brothers, as acrobats and riders, are mas- ters of their profession; Charles Sherwood, as Pete Jenkins, is inimitable in, as he is the ori- givator of, this famous act; and Miss Lucille ‘Watson is one ef the most gracefal and dashing of equestriennes: while the clowns, Messrs. Whitaker and Long, have a fund of witticiams that serve tokeep the au ‘ience m continual good humor. No one should fail to attead on this, the last night. en SAVED FROM DrowNtNG.—Yesterday after- noon a litile son of Capt Layman, of the schooner Cherub, lying at Riley's whart, made A narrow cscape Irom drowning. Ht was seulling a boat im the vicinity, and losing his balance, fell overboard in water about twelve fret deep, where his cries drew to his attention a number of persons, and among them a white band oa the schuorer Soco, who, seing the perlons position of the youth, sprang over- board and swam to him just mm time to catch him upon rising to the surface the second t1me, Tu an almost lifeless condition he was lifted from the weier and the proper restoratrres administered. —_o—_—_—.
