' Parliamentary Row Over the Peti- tions for Dissolution. HOLD ON LIKE GRIM DEATH. Successful Tactics of M. Thiers and a Re- newed Lease of Official Life. VERSAILLRS, Dec. 15, 1872. The National Assembly has decided by 483 “against 190 votes to “take m0 notice of the pe- tions fer dissolution”—which may sound like @ Hibernian conclusion to a sesgion of unparalleled violence and uncommon length, in which the House did nothing clse but take notice of the thug rejected addresses of the people in every part of the country, But the House only moana! that it will not take that particular notice which the petitioners wish it to take, and will not vote itself out of office. The debate closed at two A. M. to-day, and, under the name of the “Séance du 14 Décembre” will oc- cupy an important place in French parliamentary history, not merely because of the resolution taken, but also because of the very thorough air- ing that some conspicuous members have given to their opinions, It is made more and more evident that the hostility to parties is as extreme and un- cempromising as ever; and that is what the occa- sion has principally shown, for the strictly parlia- mentary result that nearly five hundred vote to keep their places, while two hundred are willing to venture new elections, is of no practical impor- tance and can, as yet, lead to nothing. At the Lazore station in Paris and at the station at Versailles vast crowds were gathered, and it was evident that the public were in full sympathy with the excitement of the day. Along the streets leading to the theatre the windows even were crowded for heurs with gazers. Many working- men were out, and otherwise the crowd was of the usual motley material. Inside the Chamber there wasa terrible jam, and many places were sold, speculative friends of the powers that be having secured tickets thus to turn an honest penny. Some Americans are said to have paid as much as 250 francs aplece for tickets. M. Thiers’ private box waa occupicd by his wife, his sister-in-law, Mile. Dosne, and tho Princess Troubitzkoy, a Rus- sian friend of Mme. Thiers. Thiers wisely stayed away, for he can command neither his temper nor bis tongue, and could only have got into a scrape im a political position where he sympathizes with the opinions of the party that was necesyarily to be beaten and that is tor the moment in the wrong. because It excites fruitless agitation. Baron Decazes, Marquis de Morillan and M. Raoul Duval read the reports of their several committees against the petitions. The latter satd of the eighty- six petitions before his committee :—‘‘Most of these documents offer no signs of spontaneous individu- ality; their text, printed and nearly identical, re- veals a centralized organization of petitioning. Nearly all of the signatures, of which many are evi- dently the work of the same hand, denote a very slightly developed education. Those who have signed evidently obey orders; it is at least doubt- ful if they have full consciousmess of the conse- quences which the resolution they require you to take might have for France. The petitioning thus organized with the evident intention of agitating the country and of weakening, if possible, the au- thority of this Assembly, is the work of those same men who, by all the means in their power, retarded the convocation of it until February, 1871, Elected after a series of frightful disasters, forced to ac- cept affairs in the state in which a revolutionary government bad left them, the Assembly has been invested, by the confidence of the country, with the most extensive powers ever received by a political body. It has constituted a government, concluded peace, re-established order and credit; ites duty is not to allow guilty and factitious agita- tion to compromise the work it has accomplished in accord with the government which it created. Your Commussion believes that the mission of this Assembly cannot be considered as accomplished until it shall have assured the effective and com- plete evacuation of French territory; it will then have to determine how and under what conditions it will proceed to the constitution of a new national representation; but, until then, you can- not, without deserting the onerous mandat im- posed upon your patriotism, dream of dissolution. Similar agitations are not without parallel in our history; in other times they have been repressed by atrocions means. We can recall to your memory the law ef the 27 Germinal, an IV., which punished with death any peti- tioning calculated to provoke the dissolution of the national representation. By the grace of God, since then our manners have been softened. The reprehensible manceuvres by which it is attempted to disturb the country, wmich has need of order and peace in order to work and remake itself, onl; excite the public conscience and that ot this A: sembly. If you entertain our views you will a cept the conciusions of your Eighth Commissio: which suggests that you should set aside, by ordre du pur et simple, the petitions which de- mand the dissolution of the National Assembly.” THB SCENE IN THE ASSEMBLY. There was much excitement during the reading and a lively clamor at the close. M. Gambetta then ascended the tribune, and, at the aspect of the orator who, not many months since, swayed, single-handed, tne troubled destinies oi France, the confused hubbub of excited voices began grad- ually to subside. But it takes a long time for more than seven hundred Frenchmen, each anxious to hear bimself speak, to condemn themselves to temporary silence, and a consideravle riod elapsed before complete calm was restored. Mean- while M, Gambetta stood tranquilly Rape the crowded, troubled house before him, and it was not until every tongue was stilled that his clear voice was heard incisively ar- ticulating, in a tranquil undertone, the quiet opening words of his harangue. There was calm sense of power about the man that com- pelled attention and respect; and no trace of pas- s10n was tn his voice, as in sober language he said that he did not conceal from himself with what feelings his presence in the tribune was regarded by many eyes, what reception would be given to the ideas of which he was the humble but firm exponent, and how it therefore benoved him to be moderate, If his party had not hitherto touched the question it was becanse they had, beginning in August, 1871, om five different occasions contested the Cee gages of the Assembly, but had never suceeeded in getting any such motion placed on the orders of the day, He stated these facts to prove that the erentte ‘Of the discussion new ought not to be laid to his account, and that his an- tagonists had chosen to begin the debate rather on the ground of petitions more than a , old than on 8BY proposition due to ariiamentary initiative. It was in his most conciliatory tones that M. Gambetta declared that, although umber of calumnious inventions were laid to the charge of the men favori dia. } solution, he would not dwell on the subject “here, where he would only meet with loyal adversaries,’ He dic not ask for the dissolution of the Assembly, nor for the expulsion of @ portion ef the members; the question was whether the universal suffrage o} the country had changed Its point of view since the 8th of February, 187), and whether it condemned the conduct of the House. He was prepared for @ Bumerical defeat, but he wished to justify the movement for a dissolution, which in a few weeks would find convincing m that would make themselves felt. Here the patience of the it began to ed way. They broke out into loud murmurs, but M. Gambetta hastene@ to add, 1 1D @ conciliator, tone, “This is no threat; it is the simple statemen of a fact which will certainly be accomplished by the mere force of reason—by the number and the importance of the petitions.” Then, referring to the convention signed by M. Jules Favre and Prince Bismarck, he reminded his hear. ers that the object of the armistice was to elect a National Assembly, for the purpose of de- ciding if the war should be continued or on what conditions peace should be made. A yoice on the right here cried out, “C'est une infamie’" and the whole rty burst into a prolonged shout. Pres- strong, mellow voice was heard, Pi ing that when the Assembly was elected it was by not more than five million votes—that is to gay, half the electeral body—and then the noise re- commenced. A reference to the unconstituent J: Coe Teomeurgr | KA, Brows, Seorgtary. functions of she Aprombly Urovght dows upeg tne orator a mild remonstrance from M. Grévy, the President, who declared vxat, the House havin) already pronounced itself om = subject touche: by the speaker, he could not revert to it, But when M, Gambetia quoted a writer who, ‘a fortnight belore the elaetions, declared that the Assembly had no authority to entertain any questions of government, and, in reply to turbulent cries for his authority, cited trium- pean the Gazette de France, the special organ of he legitimist party, there arose an indescribable tumult, the Right being great excited and the Extreme Lett clapping hands with intense aelight, proving taus that in both tue monarchical ana the republican camps the idea was scouted that an As- sembly thrown haphazard together, elected by sur- prise, on the principle of frst come first served, should be endowed with legislative power. M. Gambetta asserted that when the electors saw, to their surprise, how their Deputies exceeded the fair length of their tether, they gave a series of striking proofs of their dissatigfuction. Tney elected republicans to the Municipal Councils, to the Assembly, to the Councils General. In June last, out of 134 mew elections te the House, 115 republicans were returned. The speaker reverted wilh especial satisfaction to Constitution of the Councils Gen- eral—now democratic for the first time since 1780—and declared, amid loud ironical cheers from the tht, that he saw in that a proof that the revolution was already established, and could henceforward afford to renounce the spirit of dis- order and agitation, “I am astonished,” he then exclaimed, “that conservatives will not listen to these words. You pretend to be the advocates of Parliamentary eorenenn and youdo not know how to listen an adversary.” Of a truth the rebuke was well merited. There was sound sense, as well as good rhetoric, inthe orator’s assertion, spoken in his most Beaten souks, that if the her classes—les classes acti understood their situation their part would be, not to separate themselves irom the democratic movement and to condemn it, but to guide it, that they may not come to see universal suffrage—tie source of ail their strength—become the source of faut thelr woos.) Recurring ta the numar. ous Mnteeivey by the people that't ey no longer consider themselves represented by the Assembly, the speaker boasted, amid the derisive laughter o' that his party, had collected more than a matures. ‘We will bring them to you next week,” he added. “You are very dificiles in the way of petitions. There was once a great As- sembly whioh dissolved itself at the expressed Wish of 175,000 petitioners; but at that time the Deputies wished to be in concord with public opinion, with each other and with government, As for you,” the orator exclaimed, turning to the various parties composing the Right, “you are not nacone in your views of politics, of government or ol n reforms; you are only agreed not to die’—‘‘vous d’accord que pour ne pas mourir.”” ‘This tell- ae , delivered with lashed 16 fury and proportion- ately delighted the Left. “Do you know,’ the orator exclaimed, with provking quietude— “do you know what has made this move- ment invincible? The country vibrated with joy on hearing the President's Message; you were frightened at it, you protested against the sentiment of gratitude in the country; and then the country replied to your fighting policy’’—pol- Wique de combat—* by petitions which no order of the day can stop. For the country knows that it acts within the limits of the law; it does not un- derstand Parliamentary finessing; it has arisen bv an instinct of preservation, for it knew it was the Republic which was threatened by your fightin, policy.’ After giving a definition of the wo! “Radical,” M. Gambetta went on to say that it was absurd to pretend his arty were the enemies of the Conservative Repubiic. We are so devoted to the Republic that we wish it to penearem gradually in the consciences and hearts of all; we wish it to be established by the authority of its beneficence.”” Shouts of laughter from the Right greeted this speech; whereupon the speaker turned round and said, “You may laugh, gentlemen; remember, he laughs longest who laughs last.’’ His manner grew more earnest and impassioned as he went on, and the interrup- tions continued to increase in equal ratio, “in voting the order of the day the Assembly would only secure an armistice, tor the country would continue to fight with legat weapons until ‘the day came when the Deputies themselves would be glad to obey and to separate. There can be no order without confidence, no confidence without settled governments the monarchists are incapable of founding a monarchy, for they have not a king to accept {t or a people to ratity it; their only chance is to wear out and enervate the country so that it may throw itself into the arms of @ saviour.” This was the line of strong argument adopted, and it was wound up by the significant senteuce, “But it is not among your families that the saviour would be sought. How are foreign nations,” M. Gambetta continued, “to support France when the ip existence of gov- ernment is imperilled every other day, when every journal in Europe calls out for the dissolution of the Chamber?’ He then referred to the rumors of coups a’ctat, which have lately been rife; and al- though he professed not to place any credence in their probability, the very suggestion of the idea seemed to drive the majority of his hearers mad, and he was interrupted at every other word. Thera are, indeed, many things which, however well they may be known, must never be mentioned. ry the speaker’s reference to published reports aout General Ducrot was received with great dissatis- faction; and his citations from MM. Dufaure and Montalembert were interrupted because they were thought to be the expression of his own ideas. I fancied that the manner in which he was wor- ried led him to close somewhat abruptly; but he gave full emphasis to his last tell- ing words:-~‘fhe day is not distant when you yourselves will be prepared for self-sacrifice. To- day's vote willenable the genius of universal su!- frage to recognize her own children, She will choose between those who have wished to retard and those who have wished to hasten the ulti- mate triumph ofthe Republic.” With this threat M. Gambetta left the tribune, to be warmly 5! ken by the hand, after French fashion, by all friends. It was the dullest speech I ever heard from him. He wanted, rip to be moderate and parlia- mentary, and thus lost the electric exaltation of style, in virtue of which, as an orator, he is nothing if not violent. THE POSITION OF THE RIGHT, M. d’Audifiret-Pasquier followed. He is quite the type of a country Coker and provincial law- yer. He said that from the first day of tlie exist- ence of the Assembly it had pees against; that the present petitioning for its dissolution was not spontaneous; that the hostility to the Assem- bly had been most persevering. They daro to say that our mandat has been limited b; tne Prussians, “Twill not allow it to be declared from & French tribune that the foreigner has given you the mandat you possess. M. Gambetta has just made him- self the advocate of Iberty—he who has attacked the Muncipal councils and the Conseils Genernux. He speaks of the sight of peor who, when dictator, threatened to prosecute the inhabitants of the Lotre who demanded the elections. We do not dispute the right of tition; but we reply to the petitioners that the moment as not atrived todo what they ask. This move a denial of the right of delegation—it is the persor direct interference of the elector in order to expel the Deputies trom the Assembly. What is our mandat? Is it ttmited to ‘wart? No. Our mission is not ter- minated. We yettomake the communal law, the military law and other organic laws. Accomplish your mission—the country will be thankful, For my own part, should regret the dissolution of the Assembly. for have yetmuch to say to you respecting the Contract Commission. Turning towards the Extreme Left, M.d’Audif- Tet-Pasquler exclaimed with energy :— You desire dissolution. Why? Yon hope to occupy our ee You, the radicals! You call yourselves repub- ans, but you are not! The speaker was interrupted by the Extreme Left with loud cries of “sé / Si!” M. Gambetta—We desire universal suffrage with the Republic ant by the Republic, Me avAuditire: Pasquier—I have among the Left many friends who are republicans. I do not wish them to be- lieve that I confound them with the radicals, You always advance the theory of numbers, which is the most revolutionary theory that exists, Number is not . Trepel you, not because Iam a monarchist, but because 1 am liberal. I reject you in the name of liberty. I reject you because all the excesses of the Com- mune were the consequence of the theories you pro- fess. I reject Wo" because you are—Atheisin. ical- ism is the denlal of everything—of propriety, of family, ofcbuntry. I repel you because your doctrines lead to servitude. After you, Casar ean’ come, You demand dissolution because you have lost all hope of conquerin; the majority in the Chamber. Here there are none bw conservatives and radicals. Let us, unite; for the day when the doctrines of radicalism shall triumph the conservatives will be lost, and society with them. M. Pasquier spoke better than Gambetta, for he has power also on & lower oratorical ke. strong, without passion; a good reasener, a1 facts also were in his favor. It was six o’clock when the Duke ieft the tribune, and the members were Lene germ Ae show fatigue, and the discom- fort from the heat of the hall was becoming very great. incisive trony of tone, RADICAL COUNSEL.

The President called upon the Assembly to observe the greatest Bllence; and M. Louis Blanc, who was evidently determined, in case Of necessity, to “make a night of it,” continned:—‘The country thirsts for re- pre. tranquillity, work. Where can the Assembl: liscover the right to Deciong itself indefinitely #” The conversation had again become general. ‘The President stood up and rung Violently, M, Louis Blanc, perfectly self-possessed, rested with folded arms, leaning on the tribune. M. Grévy, standing exactly behind and above him, with the rigidity of an obelisk, declared that if his unruly gi ties would not keep silence he would tjoura the debate. The orator then, like M. Gambetta, cited passages from the speech delivered in 1849 vy M, de Montalembert in favor of the dissolution ot the Assembly. “If you will not hear me,” urged Louis Blane, ‘do at least listea to M. de Montalem- bert, Ah, gentlemen, what an ment you fur- ni favor of dissolution!” M. Louis Blanc, hay- in owed the storm which this sally caused to subside, resumed :—*‘I will not diseuss your origin, but permit me to tell you a free people never con- fides to its Deputies an unlifited mandat. You Say that there is a misunderstanding. There is a very simple means for clearing it up. Let us con- sult universal suffrage.” The orator then, to the surprise of all, quietly left the tribune, Louls Blane’s speech was the shot of a blank cartridge—it hit nothing; was utterly without effect in the mind of the House. SPEECH OF GAMBETTA’S RIVAL. He was followed by M. Raoul Duval, who had the tribune when an adjournment was made till & later hour. On the reassembling he argued in most ageressive language that the dissolutionists and Communists were alloue. He attacked Gambetta for having proscribed the Bonapartist candidates at Bordeaux, and cited Genera! Aurelles de Paladine as an authority that his military dictatorship was fantastic. Referring perecneuy: to M. Mestreau, a Deputy for Paris, as a Communist, the latier gave i ane Me. Iimdena tol ead. . Grévy ing that aval could not Mean to insult a colleague, urged M. Mestreau to retract, The latter said he would if M. Raoul Du- val repeated the words of the President. M. Raoul Duval required a retraction first, and M. Mestreau, Teiusing, was called to order. How far things in France turn on trade consid- erations not only appears in the allusions of all speakers and in the cartcatures that present Thiers a8 assiduously courting the toy merchants, but it came out even in Duval’s speech before the recess, When it was proposed to adjourn till Monday he said:—‘‘I implore the Assembly, in the name of our commerce and of the enormous transactions of this time of year, to sit through the night if necessary that it may be known definitely without delay what We are to do.” Duval is espectally bitter in all he says against Gambetta. ese two young politicians are flerce rivals, Duval is a red-haired man and orough- going supporter of the extreme Right, and his op- ponent of the Left is of the swarthiest type. Both are highly admired in their respective parties—both full of talent and fury, and their mutual hostility will be heard of some day. M. Le Raves Pointed out to the Assembly the fact that while it was not in session the country was tranquil, prosperous and happy, but that its sit- ting was the signal for furious tation, and argued thus to the advantage of ita dissolving alto- gether. THE VOICR OF THE GOVERNMENT, M, Dufaure closed the debate by appearing for the government. He was evidently set on to flatter the Right, and performed his mission with awill, and for the moment succeeded. He said the government, though standing aloof from the passions which had animated and proionged the ne debate, would shortly state its views. This iscussion had become inevitable, because the As- sembly was elected in a crisis without previous constitution or regulations, and no thought was taken of fixing the duration of its existence. He regretted, however, that M. Gambetta had sought an argument in the Prussian treaty, which, mong stating that the ratification must be made by the Assembly, was not so cruel ag to limit its mandate to that alone. He repudiated M. Louis Blanc’s reproach, that the Assembly laid claims to perpetuity, and his old theory that the sovereignty of the people should dictate to the Assembly. He only understood such a claim when asserted in arms on May 16. (Approving laughter on the Right.) He only admitted the sovereignty of the people on election day. Afterwards that sovereignty was delegated to the Assembly, which was a far better judge than the petitioners could be to when its career of usefulness was over. (Triumphant cheers on the Right hailed this official declaration, which almost endorses the ducal argument against universal sutirage, that a grocer can have no political sa- gacity.) The contrary doctrine had produced infi- nite evil in France for eighty years. Far was it, however, from tho intention of the government to deny the right of members to suggest that the time for a d venihie pe come, nek ba legally and respectfully to support that op! le 4 Batare Closed adroitly ie adopting for the government @ formula, or “ordre au rah that satisfied the Right, but binds nobody for the future. There were many projects, and the rurals wanted to refer to the presence of the enemy in the country and extend the function of the House to the full payment of the indemnity. Thiers’ inter- t is to kick the door open for dissolution, if neces- ry, and this ia fully accomplished; so when the Christmas holidays are over we may hear of this subject again. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Sie BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. ExeSheriff O’Brien’s Bills Again—As- sistance to the District Attormey at a Discount, The Board of Supervisors met at four o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of the Board of Aldermen, His Honor Mayor Hall in the chair. A large amount of miscellaneous business of an unimportant characser was transacted. The bills of Martin B. Brown, for stationery and printing for the courts, were ordered to be patd. A report was received from the Committee on County Affairs recommending the payment of the bill of Henry C. Allen for profedsionui services ren- dered to the District Attorney, from July 1 to No- vember 30, 1872, at the rate of $5,000 per year, the bill amountin $2,083 33. Supervisor Van ScHaick objected to the passage of the report, claiming that the bills for services in the District Attorney’s oMce were already too heavy for the amount of work done therein. It cost $65,000 a year to rum it now, and tere are plenty of good lawyers, he said, wuo could run the game oflice at 25,000 a year for the same services as are now rendered. The Paine ‘was rejected, Supervisor MeuRBach led up the resolution directing the payment of the bills of ex-Sheriff James O'Brien for discharges and commitments during the years 1868, 1869 and 1870, amounting to $98,774 75. ‘A discussion was imminent and a rare wrangle et have ensued had not. he CHAIRMAN interposed law and facts to quell the coming tempest of ignorance im regard to both. The Mayor stated that {t was his impression that he had on a former occasion called attention to the fact that the special matter of these bills was not within the jurisdiction of this Board. By a special act of the Legislature of 1870 the claim of Sherif, or ex-Sheriff, James O’Brien was remitted to the Counsel to the Corporation, as sole auditor and adjuster, and that ac@ still stands as law, noth- ing having been enacted which repeals it. fir. VAN SCHAICK inquired if it would be in order to move the reference of the claim to the legal adviser of this Board. Mayor Hawt replied that that was the point the chairman had just stated—that such reference of the claim hadactually been made by the Legisla- ture and the claim was so referred. Mr. MewRBacn withdrew his resolution, and after the transaction of some minor business the Board adjourned, THE NILSSON HALL ARMORY. Examination Into the Leasing of Nilsson Hall for an Armory and Drill Room— Testimony of Witnesses—First Day’s Proceedings. Ameeting of the Investigating Committee ap- pointed by the Mayor at the last mecting of the Board of Supervisors was held yesterday afternoon in the chamber of the Board of Aldermen. The members of the committee present were Super- visor Vance (chairman) aud Supervisor Falconer; Supervisor Cochrane was too sick to be present, Mr. Charles W. Brookes appeared as counsel for General Funk and the Ninety-sixth Regiment; Mr. Thomas E. Stewart ag counsel for Supervisor Con- over. The first witness called by Mr. Brookes, was Mr. Anfenger, 33 Pine street, a real estate agent. He gaid that he received instructions from Colonel me four months , to look out for a hall suitable for an armory and drill room sor the Ninety- aixth regiment; that he was directed to Nilsson Hall ; that he afterwards saw Mr. Young, the owner of the building, at the Spingler House, and that Mr. Young said that he would let it for $8,000 per year; that he subsequently saw Mr. Young with the son of Colonel Steuff, and that on Mr. Young's bein; informed that it was intended to use the hal for an armory and drill room Mr. Young said that could not let it for less than $100,000 and taxes; but he (Mr. Young) could not give'a decided answer as to that until he could re- ceive an answer from his partner, who resides in New Brunswick; he received this offer in writing. (Communication produced.) He told Mr. Conover of it, and said the hall could be obtained for $10,000 er year; it waa on the 10th of December, he be- flevea; it was six days before the resolution was asto the leasing in the Boara of om ag he did not show the paper in which Mr. Young made his otfer to Mr. Conover; it was about the oth of December that he told Mr. Conover the hall could de obtained for that rent; it was before he (witness) had received the offer in writing from Mr, Young; received the offer in writing about the 10th of December.

OOMPTROLLER GREEN AND THE CITY INTEREST. Comptrolier Green forwarded the following let- ter to the Broadway Bank :— Decenpen 2, 1872. ‘Tue NATIONAL Ruoapway Bang :— Thave received your letter of the 2ist inst. in reply to tine of the same date, asking for a statement of the terest on deposits of the’ city and county in y ank during the year 1872, in which it 1s. statea that action thereon would be taken by the Board of Directors on the tollowing Tuesday, and that they hava been since robin’ indications’ of my views on this subject since Fe! ry last.

City Chamberlain Franeis A. Palmer informed a HERALD reporter yesterday that the last certifi- cate of the balances of moneys in the National Park Bank was made May 31, in these words :— I herery. certify that at the close of business on Friday, May 3h, the sum of $150,000 was on deposit in the National Park Bank, of the city of New York, belonging to the city and county of New York. J. L, WORTH, Cashter. The last certificate of the balances in the Union Trust Company was of like date and in the sume form, for the amount of $50,000. This shows that the certificate of balances made the Chamberlain from January 1 to June 1, 1872, contained no mention of any credits of additions to the principal sums on deposit in those depositories. These certificates have been filed in the Comptroller's office weekly for years past, and in no case has his request of December 16, 1871, to add interest to principal been complied with. The Chamberlain denies the assertion that the interest accrued on those deposits (which have been closed by reason of non-compliance with the laws of peel is actually in the treasury, for it has not been paid to him, nor does any record appear Epon his books or vouchers ef any such transac- PAYMENTS BY THE COMPTROLLER.

MAYOR HALL AND THE PRESS. Yesterday Mayor Hall invited those representa- tives of the press whose duties are connected with the City Hall and the public proceedings of the city government to meet him in the private room of the Keeper of the City Hall (Mr, George Roome), at one o'clock, At that time the Mayor received a number of gentlemen, who during his Mayoralty have, in the course of their duty, jound it frequent incumbent upon them to interview Mis Honor, After a ‘iendly shake of the hand and @ pleasant and cordial greeting, Mayor Hall called the attention of the gentiemen to the centre table, on which was spread a lunch, including a supply of wine, and invited all present to help themselves, without any formality or cere- mony. Mayor Hall then proposed, in one ot his happiest extemporaneous speeches, ‘The Press,” aliuding to what he termed ‘the happiest days of his life’’—the days when he was a newspaper re- porter, and which profession he regretted he could hot afford to return to. This was ppropriatel acknowledged by Mr. Oliver Stout, and the heals! of the Mayor was proposed and drank with enthu- siasm. Mayor Hall then gave the health of Mayor Havemeyer, expressing pe that he would be red the calumunies of malicious and that he we receive the assistance of all good men and true in the ible hod of bis duties, the arduousness of which were well known to the gentlemen whom he had the honor to ad- dtess. The health and prosperity of Mr. George Roome, the Keeper of the City Hall, was then pro- pase oe Mayor Hall, who said that Mr. Roome’s miliarity with the City Hall would not prevent him from ae Broadway alter political necessities had deprived him of his position. Mr. Roome was able to do that, There were other gen- tlemen who had a like familiarity who were not able to walk down Broadway.
