When tho question was bclbro the House a fow days since, the proposition to repeal the S300 commutation clause was rejected by a vote of 50 to 100.

Deeming it Important to the interest of the city that ths construction of the Ben Tower in the Eastern District should bo properly done, (at tho suggestion of the Street Commissioner, I think it was) 1 directed Mr. Fowler to superintend the construction and I am happy to say he performed his duty faithfully. How much time he has given to the construction I not know.

Bnt I presume that, as well as what he has done in other matters can be ascertained from the Street who, as I understand, is respondi bio lor hia appointment and the time actually employed. And from all 1 know and can loam of ir. Fowler, lean eider him an active, capable and efficient man, and if all those who are in charge of business were as vigilant and faithful. as he, the city, in any opinion, would be saved many dollars.

Bliis remarked that this was a matter of the utmost importance to the city and in fact of far more importance than oven the cleaning of the streets during the worm weather. Many of tho gutters and culverts different wards all over the city wore completely choked up and since the last rain the water had remained thore, emitting aniOBt foul and fetid stench. If something were not done immediately to remedy this matter, some evil consequences would arise. The resolution was adopted. THE PETE01VBDM OBDINANCE.

Eomc two years since, an ordinance was passed by tho Common Council regulating tho storago of petroleum oil, rock oil, cumphene, in the city. The ordinance forbade the storing of any of tho above articles or the ltndingofany of the some in quantities of more than one barrel in the city of Brooklyn, without the consent of the Mayor and Common Council, and then went on to define in what manner and on what terms the consent oi the Mayor and Common Council should bo given to the storage of any of these articles, providing for the degree 01 strength beyond which they were not allowed to be stored, the kind of buildings to be used as storehouses, and also providing for the appointment of an iCErectcr to see thut tho regulations of the Board were earned out. After an inspector had been appointed and an attempt had been made to carry the ordinance into effect, it was discovered that tho Common Council had no power under the charter to pass such on ordinon and the matter was dropped until last winter, when a provision was inserted in the amended charter giving the Aldermen power to regulate tho matter. Aid McLaughlin moved the re adoption of tho ordinance. The Chair decided tho motion out of order.

The Grand Base Ball Match at Hobo ken Immense Assemblage of Spectators PresentThe Brooklyn Club Victorious. The Atlantic and Mutual Clubs met together for the first time this season yesterday at Hobokcn, and, after a contest of nearly three hours' daratlan the victory remained with the Atlantlcs by a score of 25 to 16in a foil game of nine innings. Tho assemblage of spectators, on the occKaion wao greater than has been seen on the grounds at Hobokcn for some years put, tho. crowd, being estimated to ex ceed six thousand spectaters, tho utmost interest being taken In the contest, tuft It wis one that in a measure would decide the choaces of.

WO have notiim tho Atlantiogaraia for a seas on ortworiittthaiEomectternoncrother of their nine is sure to play below his mark In the game, it being first one and then another. On this ooeasion. Chapman was the victim of misfortune, never before saw blm play to so little advantage. 'Now according to the Atlantic notion of on this account he ought to have some one' to take. his place in the nine, no allowances being made, as a general thinr, for these uolnoky occurrentea.

That worthy veteran, P. O'Brien, has had two or three just such unlucky days as Chipmon did yesterday, and for that reason, for sooth, it was argued that he was not up to the mark for the Atlantlo nine. We Bhonld like to know What tne result would havo been yesterday but for his admirable display in tho field and at the bat. Not one player in the nine equalled htm in fielding and only one in batting. The mumaisnaaa gooamne ouc, out noc tneir oesc On this occasion McKever resumed hia position as pitcher, but the result proved conclusively that the new rules bad deprived his pitching of the effect it had last season, and had the Mntuals placed Harris in tho position and have put their best men in the field to sup pott him, a more favorable result would have followed.

We thought that the Mutuals in their match with the rlewark Club had given evidence of intentional miBplays, with a view of influencing the betting market for the lLitcb. of yesterday, but their play yesterday proved pretty conchBiely that their poor play on the previous occasion wos chiefly the result of want of judicious practice together. Unlcssthey at once pick out a regular nine and place them In training fOT the next event they need not expect to stand any chance of winning either against the lAtlantica or Starekas. A commendable feature of the contest was Its freedom from the ill feeling between the contestants and the growling censures for errors ot play that have previously characterized most of these championship matches.

The great advantage to be derived from preserving entire control of one's temper in a ball match, to say Bathing of the otter folly of caosuiing for errors it is so hia interest to avoid making, is BUch as to nuke mutual fault finding for mis plays in a ball match the most stupid blunder any member or Captain of a nine can' moke. The best players' in country will err at times, and the. less control they have of their temper the worse they ore sure to play. We are glad to see that the betting fraternity did not make much out of this match, and we hope "their little fgsnoe" will bo spoiled on all.

occasions. The decisions of 'the Umpire were pxomptiy rendered andimparusllygiven.throughont,.btttasfar'asthe rule in reference to calling hallson pitchers was concerned, there might hare been no such rule in existence almost, so little was it observed. two or three very wide balls were nobced, but both Pratt end McKever infringed the rule neaoiy every Inning; the former especially, as his effort to impirt speed to the ball led htm to sacrifice his accuracy of aim comuderabry. No pitcher in the country ran pitch fairer or better balls than Pratt when he chooses to do bo, and it should be the policy of tho club to have him pitch such' fair balls, dependence being placed on the excellence of the field in supporting rather than the bid style of dodging a fair delivery, which a repudiation of section 6 of the rules admits of. It was the knack or delivering unfair balls, that were apparently fair to the outside crowd, that rendered tha leading pitchers of last season so effective as they were, hence the success of McKever and others last year.

Ti.is style of thing it was that the new rolesiwere designed to prevent, and depend upon it, the majority of players in the will not rest until the rules of the game are so perfected as to make perfectly fair pitching the rule, and excellence in fielding the feature of base ball. Boll after ball was delivered on both sides yesterday that were unqueetionably rmfntr. being entirely out of reach of the batsmen. The strikers too, especially McKever, were allowed altogether too much latitude, slthongh.it would not have been fair to have mode them pay the penalty of unfair play whilo the pitchers were not punished for their errors. Umpires "woold find it to their advantage to make it a point to call balls when a ball is delivered out of the reach of the batsman.

The more they, bring this thing down to.a rxnifbrxu rslo the less responsibility they will assume. We have consumed so much snaoe in commentlnjz on what we deem ihelmportant points of the game that. have no room for remarks on the skill shown by the respective contestants on the. occasion.

To show the character of the fielding in this mator: it is but necessary to state that on the Atlantic side there wero 10 miscatohes, 9 wild throws, 7 distinct failures to stop balls in the field, and 17 bound catches made, only two of which were from foal balls, not a fly catch being made in the field, Pearco taking them all in good style one a beauty on foul balls. And on the Mutual side there were 8 miscatches, 9 wild thrg 0 failurefl tc StnD balls, and ton bound catches made, only lour fly catches being taken till SOUguoui the game, all of which the Mutuals secured. Tueso facts tell tho story in regard to the fielding pretty plainly.

im portance to the city of Brooklyn. Bockaway Is one of the oldest watering places in the country, and has a fine enuaviou on uie buuui suum ui uong xsiana, xronung the AUtmtio Ocean, and its famous beach is one of the finest on our entire coast. The completion of this road will open to tne enjoyment ana lor tne recreation or our citizens this celebrated bathing resort, and while it will promote the pleasure and health of our people, it will luiao uuu ui uiu uuue uuu uusLuess advantages ui our city. The line as surveyed and partially completed by tins company, runs tnrougn a agncujturaioounrry, and through a number of towns and villages. No road' of the length of this (312 miles) could be constructed which would not bring a very considerable amount of trade into the city, and the committee deem that this road, from its favorably located line, would add much to the trade and business resources of this city.

After leaving the city line this zoadfollows the Myrtle avenue' Slank road to Jamaica, from thence to Itockaway on the ne as commenced and partially completed. The com. pony have obtained the village of Jamaica the right of way through, the streets of that village, and from property owners on the line, between that place and Hockawsy similar privileges. This part 'of the work is in an advanced stage of pro grees, with the prospect of an early completion or the same. The granting to them of the privileges asked will materially assist company in the construction of their whole line of road, and Will give the city ofi Brooklyn at an early day new, complete and iudepen ent line to the sea shore at Bockaway.

In view of these advantages, the committee see no reason why this com Tany should not 'have a line of road with equal privi ges as to through and local travel within our city limits as the Brooklyn Central and Jamaica Bailroad, and other roads, nor do they deem the claim put forth in some sections of the city, that the streets belong to the property owners, a Tttlia or substantial one; they look upon the streets of this city as public the benefit of the dry and citizens at large, and not fbr the sole and exclusive use of any particular section or class of our people; that the rail car the poor 'man's have an equal place in the1 public with the, costlier equipages of wealthy and your committee think that construction of railroads within our city limits has been" of vast benefit to the different interests of this city, and a vast accommodation to tho people. They would point to the great rise in real estate, and the increase' of taxable property in many wards that hasfbllowed the construction of our present roads. They would point to the necessity of competing with the great city opposite ua by opening new railway lines to draw the current of population in this direction, and thus build up and Improve now vacant property. And for these reasons jour committee report ra Commencing at the in tersection of Myrtle avenue Plank Road and Harmanand Himzod streeia and Division avenue; thenoe through, along, across and over the following streets and avenues: Lafayette, Myrtle, Grahim, Carlton and Fulton avenues, Cumberland.

L. Van Bube, Edwabj Mubpht, Committee. After tho report of the railroad committees Aid. Kimball complained that from tho manner va which the report was drawn up ho could got no precise idea of tho route which the roau was intended to take. Aid.

BcHuop explained that the tlack was not intended to bo laid tluougb tho entire length of tho atroota named in the resolution, but only in such portions of them as was nec09Sjry to moke tho route to tho ierries in eome of them, only lor the length of a block, and in others tor two blocks. Tho matter had been boiore tho railroad committeo for a long time and wag pretty well understood by tho boord and he hoped it would go through to night. Aid. Eeuruun moved to lay the matter over for a week. Aid.

Wallace concurred with the Alderman of tho 4th to lay the report over for a week. Had tho report iicon properly drawn up, ho (Aid. might be prepared to voto for it, but as it was, it was not intelllfjcnt enough to be acted upon. It guvo privileges to tho company which he (Aid. did not think the oommittoo had any intention of giving, as for instance, through Hicks and Henry streets, rlow tho intention of tho com.

pony was no doubt to got the richt of way to the fiirriea and neither Hick nor Henry streets run in that direction but cross the streets running in that dirootion, and tho people in that section of the city were oppojod to any more railroads there. The Alderman thou read a remonstrance purptrtuiR to bo signed by a number of pro iertj holders in tho third Ward against tho grant. Aid. O'Keefe, said that the Alderman or Third Ward (Wallace) had always opposed tho introduction of rati rood in any of the streets in that Ward, and yet tho peoplo in other porls of the city l.od some rights, as well as tho residents of tho Third Word, of which the Alilor man of tho wardwas not bo careful. When tho peoploon FlolbuBh ave, remonstrated a fow weeks sineo the putting of earth over tho pavements tuoro for tho convenience of tho rich peoplo troni the Third Ward and elsewhere, driving out in their teams, tho Alderman of the 3d attended the committee meeting on the subject aiidadviscd the committee to reportagdinBt tho subjoct petition of the people ot Flatbush ave, and ho 1 Aid.

O' Kcel'o) hoped the boaid would givo tho ailments of the Aldermen of the Third tho consideration which they merited on this view of the cose. Aid. Wallace denied having attendod tho mootin" of tho Committee for Die purpose of opposing the potition" of Hie peoplo of FlatbUBh avenue. He happened to bo in the rown at the time, and the Committeo asked him Ins opinion about the matter, and ho said ho there wore more people io. favor of haviuK the dirt tlioro than there wero opposed to it.

If tho resolution woro adopted, there wan danger that some of the heavy tai paycrs ol the 3d Ward would leave the city. Aid. O'Keoflc rctuarUcd that if the heavy tax nave of the 3d Ward did Icavo tho city because a railroad to ttio accommodation of the working man should run tbroa li a portion of or two streets of tho Ward, it was still consolation to know tuey could not carry their tam blepror erty with them. Tho working men hod some rights in the city as well as tho people of the 3d Wan and they bail as good a right to huve a railroad running through one or two of tho ntreots ot that Ward as tho rich people there had to drive a coach and four throuuh the localities in which they lived. Tho railroad is lu tended for the benefit of the working men who oro no able to hire a carriage to bike thoir families to tho soJ side during tho summer, ond it was a noticeable faot that no working man bad signed tho rcmoustranca against It.

In view of the revelations made by Mr. Tbulmr Weed, the people Trill be able readily to account for the opposition of a certain class to every measure intended however remotely, to narrow the breach between the two sections of our diBtractea country.

This war to a certain class among us, has been as profitable as a cholera season to an undertaker, ana while there is a do Jar to be made out of an army con w.t ftev will hollow for carnage. The cause pursued bv the shoddyites finds no parallel except in the conduct of the wreckers who formerly infested the reefs on the Florida coast The ship of state was riding the waters prosperously and proudly; false lights were displayed by the freebooters, the vessel struck upon the breakers, and the men who lured her to her ruin are now found pilfering her lookers and carrying off her timbers. Whether Mr Weed is TJlavins the part of detective or in former his revelations are equally valuable, as showing the motives of the loud mouthed pre tenders to loyalty who are battening on the nation's calamity. The mention of the word peace seems to have the seme eft'eet on the shoddyites as water on a rabid dog. Hint at peace, however remotely, and they twist about like demented accrobats.

The disease with which they arc afflicted no daeper than their breeches pocket. The commonest argument used by these men is that the nation's honor will bo sullied should our government entertain any terms of compromise whatever. The existence of war exposes us almost daily to insults at the hands of foreign powers; but tho shoddyites pocket them as complacently as llr. Opdyke does the profits of his gun factory. We have been compelled to abandon a jardinal doctrine of American policy, which reserved the continent to Americans.

We yielded to the threats of Great Britain, and delivered to her public enemies whom the legal authorities of the ad. ministration maintained we had the right to hold. Our Secretary of State does not lose a moment in endeavoring to assure Napoleon that a solemn resolve of the National Legislature, designed to check bis ambitious schemes, is but idle bnncomb. England builds and harbors pirate vessels to prey upon our com merce, and we remonstrate in the vaguest and most courtly terms. We can undergo any humiliation at the hands of foreign governments; wc are punctilious only with our fel lew countrymen with the men with whom we hope to live again in peace and brotherhood.

Now it would perhaps be very gratifying if we could treat a gigantic revolt vith a rigor which would not be excusable in dealing with a common street riot. But it is not possible. The very men who clamor against making any terms with rebels, do make terms with them. In tho early days of the war, we captured rebel pirates; under the laws they ought to have been hung, but we found it expedient to treat them as we whould have treated public enemies, belonging to other nations. We daily capture rebels in arms against the Government Do we hang them Are we justified in compromising only to make the prolongation of the war possible must wejaever sacrifice anything in the interest of peace Instead of bringing discredit npon ourselves by making peace with our misguided and offending fellow countrymen on righteous and even favo: party at least cannot deny that the venerable Lord Brougham is a friend of America.

What does he desire The wish nearest his heart is that we should make peace with one another; and it is the wish of every true Republican, at home or abroad. It is argued that if we compromise we may make a peace, but we cannot count upon a permanent peace. We believe that eny fair agreement that can be made between the two sections, with their assent, will be permanent. We shall never hear from the Tribune alter iia war is closed that the Union of these States is not worth a dollar, nor will disappointed Southern leaders ever place any confidence in the mon at the North who may tell them that under this or that contingency, they would "let the Union slide." In the face of tho sacrifices we have made in this war for tho preservation of the Union for that is what the people of all parties want, whatever their leaders may mean no man will have the hardihood to pronounce the bond of Union "a league with death, and covenant with hell." If a Southern bragadocio nttempts to deceive his section by declaring that the people of the North will not and dare not fight lor the integrity of their country, the groves of a hundred thousand men will bear testimony to his falsehood. If this war is ever to le closed, it will be by compromise.

Every war ever waged has ended in this way, and this one will be no exception. Cannibal Islanders may exterminate; civilized nations must compromise. The men who are most Ecnously injuring the credit of the country are the bnncomb shoddyites, who prate of "uncompromising war," of "war for ten, twenty, or filty years," "war while a man remains," Goverments waging wars ofthi3 sort are not trusted by those who have money to lend. It is as true now as when even so obtuse a man as Mr. Lincoln stated it on the lth of March, three years ago, that: "you cannot fight always, and when after "much loss on both sides, and no gain "on either, you cease fighting, tho "identical questions as to terms of in "tercourso are again upon you." Tho "identical questions" mo elill before us If Mr.

Lincoln's friends adhered to the terms of his inaugural address, from which we have quoted, they would not flutter like a tnrkey cock ot sight of a red rag, when they meet those whose only offence is that they have continued to keep their wits at a time when insanity is cntching. The Dralt and the $300 Clause. The amendment made by the Senate to the Conscription lira is still under discussion in tho House of Representatives. It seems probable, from the debute last evouinq, that no radical change will be mude in tho law. Mr.

Stevens, of Pennsylvania, leading Republican, offered an amendment, authorizing the President to call out a number of men not exceeding five hundred thousand, for two year3. If they are not supplied voluntarily within forty days after the call is made, then the president may order a draft to be made. Any person liable to be drafted may secure exemption, under Mr. Stevens' bill, by payment of i300. After the draft is made $500 will secure exemption for the person drafted.

Mr. Stevens announced that he was opposed to striking out the exemption feature of the bill, and he thought that under his plan a fund would be raised to secure by bounties all the men the government needed. Mr. Shenck offered as a substitute for this, tho Senate bill which omits the the $300 clause. A vote was taken, and the house refused to agree on Mr.

Schenck's motion by a vote of 58 to 91. Stevens' amendment was rejected by a mora flZlilHfW upon the The ma d. Wallace moved as an amendment to tne reaolu that the number of lamps to be put up does not cd250.

the city for the present year was $3,000, and then one fourth of them would not bo reradred. It would take, in his (Aid. Van Buren's) opinion, fully $10,000 to put all the lamps in tho city in proper condition. With reference to tho Habt'ity of the globe lamp to breakage the maker of them laughs at the idea of their breaking. Those that were put up at first crai ked with tho heat, because they were not properly ventilated, but since that time a new principle of vento non naa been aaopiea oy me matter, wnicu wouia prevent any accidents of this kind in the future.

Aid. Wallah's amendment was lost. Aid. Wallace thought it was not wise in the advocates of these lamps to attempt to rush the matter through so hastily. It would only bo giving color in the publio mind to the rumor that some people around tho Hall were interested In the manufacture ot these lamps.

Court of Oyer and Terminer. liM CKE JODOE LOTT, JUSTICES BTn WEU, AND HOIr James Rodmnn, tv marine, pleaded irniltv to on indlctmmt charging him with the murder cf a brc thor marine, named Taylor. Tho Utter was femd one morning lying dead on his bed, the causo of which appeared to boo stab, which the unfortunate man had neeived during the night whilo ho slept Whatavor evidence there was in the case, as far as the prisoner was implicated or charged, was wholly circumstantial, and it was under tho advice of his counsel, Mr. Joults, that he pleaded guilty of manslaughter in the third degree.

Tho prisoner's plea boing rocordod, Mr. Jenks addressed tho Court in au eloquout stcech, briefly commenting upon the slender thread oi evidence that connected hia cliont with the commission of tho deed for which he had boon iudicted. Ho admitted however that somo links might appear to attach a gui'ity knowledge or unfavoroblo impression against him, and it was under thoae circmnstanoos that ho had advised his client to enter tho plea ho had. At the Bamo lime he would state that as far as his own oon victions was perfectly satisfied that bis client was ii.ncccnt of the crimo. Ho would therefore move tho lovorable consideration oi tho Court to tho cms of his client, as ono to whom the utmost limit of olemoncy ought to ho extended, as far as the samo would moot tho requirements of justico in tho oobo.

The Secretary of the Navy has consented torcleaso tho Mcasrs. Smith from Fort Warren, on boil of $110,000 each. than $126 would have been the door receipts? In all sober, serious truth, thopeoplo of Brooklyn, except they get upon a crooked path, are ready enough to any ready worthy enterprise, particularly any enterprise nisthnsfarits eflect to beautifv and lrrrrrrove their city. They cannotnow deny they have been upon crooked path in their failure to support, the Horticultural society. The 'charge made of old ogyhun to its nianage rnent wont do.

If any' one supposes there is old fogyism to the naanoflcment of the. Horticultural Society, I guarantee Begrauw will give them full opportnnlty, to prove by. test of.man ogemcnt the truth of their assertion." Tor one, I Jwoia the labor, the responsibility' or the management, and I would not take it for any sum possible that could be raised. A more difficult, trying than the presidency of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society, can scaroe iy be imagined. 1 Dave not time or spaoe to go into the matte in detail, bnt any mas, or set of men, wishing for enlighteriTent, it would give me pleasure to enlighten them as to tUe magnicuae of the labors, in the self denials, and the expenditures from his private pursa of the honorable of a society, of whom it la said, by a man who knew It not that he is an old fogy, and by reasem'of his.old fbgvisni the Society perishes.

Never, never was there a more unjust charge. When he gives up' the' helm and I wcrtder.he does not the Brooklyn Horticultural Society will be 'speedily smbsg the things that have ceased to exist. For 11 years ho has been at its head, Zron nerved and enthusiast as he is, even ho all but gave up in despair. He was re elected its President, despite his protest. Promises of support were made, and once again he contented.

Ho devoted the time required by his business to the soothing and settlement of difficulties and quarrels among he gardeners. For this he has peculiar qualities. The gardener exhibiting naturally thinks his plants the best. If a prize is awarded to others he feels sore, and the President has the blame. Therefore A.

B. C. and through the alphabet of exhibitors, who havo the last season failed of a prize, have to be conciliated. And so it is, sndsoit has been from tho first, nothing but cne unceasing round of labor, of trial, of cost, all ot which our honored President, Mr. Degranw, bore uncomplainingly, and in the hope of a brighter day.

But who shall blame him if When. as with the late exhibition men thirk paying their paltry subscription, and fail to atteudy them and their families, end only $126 raised at the door who shall blame Mm if when he puts his hands in his pocket, as often before, and makes good 'the deficit, if he says, Gentlemen and citizens of Brooklyn, I am done. Who Bhall blame him? Water Commissioners Excursion To the Editor of Tte Brooldyn Eagle: On reaching the City Hall this morning I was etrack with the number of carriages round the Park, and on making the as to the purpose of so much expense and display, was told that "The Mutual Admira tion Society were going on a bust." Not understanding the answer I had to make further wquiry, and. found that twelve or fourteen carriages were engaged' by the Commissioners of tho Nassau Water Works to take their friends and the idlers round the Hall on a grand excursion. Now, if these Ctornmissioners, who are well paid and have little to do, are obliging their friends at their own expense, it is oreditable to them, but if ths expense of these costly excursions are borne' by the tax payers in.

We have but little later news from Virginia army correspondents aro still sending on details of the partial reverse on Wednesday last. The rebels, it appears, were informed of Gen.

Grant's movement to obtain possession ef the Weldon road in time to frustrate it partially. It appears that Grant find his communications threatened and the enemy in force in front of him, re occupied his oosition in front of Petersburg. The Weldon road has been rendered useless for the present, but the enemy are hard at work repairing the damage. The inference from this is that tho road is still held by the rebels. Gen.

Sheri dan has joined Grant, but it appears that he was harrassed by the enemy in crossing the Peninsula, and ono correspondent estimateshi8 loss ashigh as one thousand. We have nothing further from Gen. Hunter. The defeat Gen. Sturgis has enabled tho rebels to threat en Sherman's connection.

On the 18th the rebel Gen. Wharton, commanding a brigade of 2,500, crossed the railroad between Kingston and Dallas, and destroyed five trains laden with supplies; on the 23d a train on the Memphis and Charleston road was oaptured near ColUnsville. Any interruption in Sherman's progress at this time would be sorely felt, for the reason that it would leave Johnston free to send reinforcements to Lee in Virginia. The City Goyebnment. The Common Council had another 'protracted" session last evening, at which it will be seen by the report in another column, a good deal of business was transacted.

The matter of the petition of the Brooklyn and Eockaway Eailroad Company, to be allowed to run their cars through certain streets named in the report elsewhere, to the terries, was brought up upon the report of the Railroad Committee, and after some debate the required permission was given. The company expect to break ground in a few days, and the road, when completed, will be a great public accommodation. The notorious "gridiron" resolutions were brought up again by the inde. iatigablo Belknap, but some of the former sup porters of that measure went back on it. and it was lost by a tie vote.

Another nice little 'job" was brought up by Aid. Belknap, in the resolution to replace all the broken lumps in the city with the new patent globe lamp. The lamps cost $7 eaehj and it is evident that the adoption of the resolution in voles a "big thing" somewhere. As these lamps when once broken cannot be repaired, but have to be replaced with new ones at a cost of seven dollars each, it is easy to see that at the present rate at which the lamps in the city are broken, the patentee of the new lamps would have the matter of the supplying of all the lamps in the city in his own hands, until the Common Council should decide on trying somebody else. It is to be hoped that the project has got its "quietus." Aid.

Bliss introduced a very seasonable resolution in relation to the condition of the gutters and culverts in some parts of the city. It appears that the Sewer Commissioners only employ one cart to clean all the culverts in the city. During the con tinuance of such weather, as we have had for the past few days, an rapped up for nsarly two weeks, and the stench from it was intolerable, and could be felt nearly a block away, thus exposing an entire neighborhood to sickness and disezse. The Board will no meet again till Wednesday next. All the New York journals excepting the Times concede that the Fremont meeting, held in New York last evening, was large, and enthusiastic in spirit.

The chief speaker was Mr. Brownson, editor of Brownson's Review and concededly ono of the most astute thinkers in the country. Mr. Brownson, in the course of his speech said: "I am not important enough to make myself tho subject of speeck. I only want to defend the position in 111.
