To incorporate Mendelshon Benevolent Soeiety in the city of New York—Ayes 94, noes 0, To incorporate the Alliance Matual Insurance Company in the city of New York-Ayes 101, noes 0. To amend the charter of the Jackson Marine In- surance Company in the city of New York—Ayes 98, noes 0. ‘To improve the Court of Common Pleas, and re- duce the expenses thereof—ayes 54, noes 36. The last bill is explained in the Argus thiswise :— The principal features of the bill are, that the ed id. Mie wer tak 1s was followed by the great four mile heats, for which Reel, Kate Aubrey, and Sa- rah Morton were entered. Of course, the Belle of Red River, the nag that never lost a race—the peer- Jess Reel—took the purse in two straight heats; bat the contending animals did themselves great credit. Kate particularly showed herself to be a strong and persevering runner, and not an opponent to be des- pised by the best. ’Sarah Morton seemed to lack the bottom for so long a race, but exhibited good speed and spirit. ‘ The races over the Louisiana Course commence, we believe, on the 26th inst.— Bulletin. ‘y- For Arsistant Alderman, THOS. 8.
