LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.’ Boanp or AtpeguEen.—The Board met at the usual hour Tast bight; the President in the ebair. A communication was received from the Mayor in anewer to the reselutions of inquiry in relation to tax sales, passed at the last meeting of the Board, Published in the Star. The communication is as follows . “Gentlemen: There is no data in this office which will enable me to answer your resolu- tion of the 10th inst, in which you ask * whether the Iast and any previous adver- tisement for sale of lots for taxes due and un- sid thereon lots were advertised on which the taxes had been paid previous to said ad- ment, and if any were so advertised, the number of lines used therefor and the cost of advertising the samo.’ I-have therefore sought the information desired from such sources ag I thought were reliable; and I en closed your resolution in a letter to the present tax collector, asking himto answer the quea- tions it contained. A copy of his answer I herewith transmit you, by which you will per- ‘ceive that lots were advertised for sale on whieh the taxes had been id, but as no record of them was kept, he is unable to fur- aish you with the information you seek. I also ad“ressed a letter to Messrs. Andrew Roth- well and R.J. Roche, formerly Tax Collec- tors, enelozing to each a copy of your resolu- tions, and asking from them the information you desired as to the previous tax sales, and also as to the person who had alwaye paid the expense of such crroneous advertisement, and I enclose you a copy of their answers, from which you will learn that the cases upon which property was advertised after tho taxes had been paid were very rare, and ‘could enly occur in consequenee of errors in the of- fice’ of the Colleétor, and that whenever they did occur ‘ no claim for payment for such ad- vertising was at any time made either upon the owner of the property or upon the Corpo- ration, the cost being paid by the Collector.” “The information requested in your resolu- tion of the same date, on the subject of taxes, will be farnished you with creat pleasure as soon ss it can be collected ; but as it will in- volve cousiderable labor it will be some time before it can be transmitted to you.” Un motion of Mr. Miller, the communica tion and accompanying papers were referred to the finance committee, and ordered to be printed. Bill providing for conveying gas to the Northern Liberties market was passed. Alao, bills for the relief of B L and W. B. Jack- son; of George Miller; of John W. Fitzhugh ; bill for taking up and relaying gutter on Eleventh street, from the corner of D to ¢! corner of E strects, in the Second Ward; and bill for the relief of Martin Bosse. Resolutions in reply to the addresg of the people of Wakefield, Eagland, were adopted and ordered to bo transmitted to the authori- ties of Wakefield. Bull to grade First street east, from B to D streets south, was passed. An invitation tendered to the Board to at- tend the funeral of the late General John H Eaton was accepted, on motion of Mr. Miller. Mr. Smith called up the special order, the bill regulating the inspection of lumber, but withdrew the call temporarily, when— Mr. Miller offered a resolution appointing 2 special committee, consisting of one member from each ward, to enquire into the expedi- ency of remodeling tue Fire Department The resolution was adopted, and the Chair a Messrs. Miller, Riggs, Tretler, oore, Busey, Ruff and Smith on this com- mittee. Mr. Smith, addressing the Board upon the special order, said the present law regulating tae inspection of Jumber was bengecadive and detective, and the sooner it was got rid of the better. Lumber brought to this market almost invariably fell short of the measurement for which it was sold. Vessels bringiog lumber from Port Deposit anchor in the channel, and the lumber is landed in lighters at the yards frequently without any inspection at all. Mr. Smith explained the material altera- tions proposed by the new bill. {t was made imperative that lamber should be inspected immediately upon its arrival ia the city. The defect in the old law by which the penalties for violation of the law were divided between buyer and seller and thu rendered inopera- tive, was proposed to be remedied by fasten- ing the penalty upon either buyer or seller. 5» the course of the debate which followed, and which was p trticipated in by nearly every member of the Board, it was stated that bun- dies of laths ostensibly suld ag containing one hundred each, average only 30 to the bundle; alao, that sellers of lumber were iu the prac- tice of re-sorting lumber brought to this city and selling the medium qualities at a higher grade than it was purchased by them. The new bill requires that all laths shali be put up in bundles of one hundred each; and that all lumber shall be marked agreeably to the quality. While the lumber bill wa: under considera- tion, the committee of conference with the lower Board upon the appropriation bill, re- turned with a recommendation that the Board of Aldermen recede from its amendments, vis: those striking out the appropriations for payment of the salaries of the Commissioners of the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Wards, and the [ntendant and Physician of the Asy- lum. A protracted debate ensued upon the amendments and various points of order, after which the Board refused to recede, ani ona motion to re-eonsider, re-aflirmed that deci- sion The lumber bill was then laid upon the table and made the special order fur Monday next. Bill making an appropriation of $504 02 for completing the Northern Liberties Market was passed. On motion of Mr. Basey, the nominations were taken up. Hugh Dougherty and Joseph Mitchell were rejected as police officers in the Fifth Ward; do Joseph H. Gill in the Seventh Ward. Joseph Z. Gill was rejected as wood, coal and bran measurer. Bill authorizing curb-stone to be eet and foot-way paved in front of market square on B street north, between Seventh and Ninth, was passed; also, bill for gravelling north Capitol street from New Jersey avenue to 0 street north Bill extending First street east to C strect north, and grading the same from the north side of B street to north side of A street, was passed. And then the Board adjourned. Unexprcrsn Visit —Yesterday, two of- rs of the fourth district police called at an oyster- house to direct the proprietor to remove « heap of shells from his door. They walked io without rapping, and there was a congre- gation of colo: pleseated atatable. The proprietor bolted, and the assembly followed Suit, escaping by every window, door or open- ing available One person was so unfortu- bate as to fall into the officers’ hands. His name was Baston, and Justice Morsell ordered him to pay the usual fice and costs for unlaw- ful assemblages. ‘Ihe pack of cards on the floor was regarded as significant of what had been going on. Fing —About eleven o'clock » yesterday, roof of Jud, pep hae Douglas's residence on I street, near New Jersey avenue, was discovered to be burning. A few gentlemen succeeded in extinguishing the fire by pouring buckets of water on the roof. The Gremem, upon their arrival, dampened the entire roof to protect itfrom another outbreak. The fire waseaused by sparks from the chimney.

Dr. Saixnme—Dear Sir: Enolosed 1 send coy aa eo Tih you will please to use in any way you think for the noble work you are ¢; in. Only do not account for the same to the public. Think not that I shell hereatter weep over my loss, and attack you ag an imposter. I wish to say, I have been looking for your answer to that malicious and libelous produc- tion, by what presents itself to my mind asa monster in human the uneven grapple of a ferocious tiger upon alamb. Sir, your ecnduct has won my highest esteem. Oh, how the man dwindles into nothingness who has horded up money by anjust means, until he has accumula worldly power, and left around about him the poor deaf and dumb and blind childron uncarod for, in comparison with one who has sacrificed all for them, and who has lamented it no loss to become as one of them. Bir. be encouraged. I see now that your very silence is your most powerful os It is the silence of alamb before a ion. Be assured, sir, there are hearts here in this District that can and do act from motives of true benevolence. They do and will sympa- thize with you in all your plans for the good of the unfortunate. Again I say be encour- . A Sincere Fuisnp. It will require little more than the tone and arguments of the above Aminidab Sleekish communication, to enable the public to com prehend the necessity for the conduct of such an institution as the one referred to purports to be, under due guardianship and control of disinterested citizens who have the confidence of everybody, R mthetn the ‘metropolis was gathered of the —_ last night af’the theatre, and the greatest cu- riosity prevailed to see the son of the immor- tal Booth, in the part of the hump-backed Duke of Gloster. Very shortly, however, after the rising of the curtain the conviction furced itself upon every spectator that the mantle cf the father had indeed fallen upon the son. His rendition last night of the character of Richard showed that while nature has en- dowed him with every requisite for his pro- fession, he has not neglected, astoomany prom ising actors do, to avail himself of a!l the addi- tional advantage to be gained by close study and attention to details. So young, and of such brilliant promise, we look forward to the day when he will reach the most elevated point cf his profession To-night he sustains the great part of Qar- dinal Richelicu, in Buiwer’s play of that name, and we presume that auother intelligent au- dience—for such this fine intellectual play always attracts—will be gathered at the Na- tional. — A Russ. —Last night, officers Stewart and Goddard took a drunken man from the atrect to the guard house, where he was placed fur safe keeping. He told the officers that he hal killed a man in Baitimore, and bad thrown the body in the dock ; that he had eseaped and bad been lying in the woods for five days, and that he came to this city for the purpose of ending his existence in the canal, but had changed his mind and determined to give him- selfup. This morning he was recoguized as Robert Howie, well known to the police, and it appears that his confession was an ingenioue device to get himself accomm: d with a lodging for the night. He was ured and sent home to his work. Z Parpoxep.—The President has pardoned J. W. Morgan who was convicted in 1853 on two indictments for forgery, in the criminal court for this District, and was sentenced to an ag- gregate of six years imprisonment in the Dir- trict penitentiary, in which be bas been ia- carcerated since February, 1853. He obtained nothing by his forgery. His whole conduct as & convict was very exemplary, and greatly strengthened the application for hia discharge. Fire —This morning, the temporary wooden floor in the office of Capt. Meigs, superintend- ent of the Capitol extension, took fire from the excossive heat of a stove beneath tho of- fice. The floor and some drawings only were consumed, the walls being fire-proof and re- straining the fire within narrrow limits, which toon expired fur want of material to feed upon he damage will not amount to one hundred dollars, as all the drawings wero du- plicated. Sgarcu —Yesterday, a search warrant was issued by Justice Birch and directed to Ufficer Gill, to search for a large quantity of dry gooda, stolen from the store of R. W. Carter and supposed to be concealed in a house in the Seventh Ward. he premises were care- fully searched by the officer, but no goods could be found. The goods lost are valued at several hundred dollars. 8 Nationa, Taeatre.—An audience Surrosep Fueitive.—A colored man, ev- idently from the country, was arrested thie morning, having in his poscession « horse and harness which he offered to sell for fifty del- lars, and afterwards for twonty-five dvilars. His conduct excited suspicion, and he was ar- rested as a fugitive by Ufficers May and Degges and committed to jail by Justice Goddard. Sevrixe sy Saupies.—At this seagon many dealers from the North come to Washington to dispose of goods by samples It would be well for them to look at section eleven of the “Act to license, tax and regulate wholesale and retail dealcrs.’’ The attention of the police officers has been directed to those deal- ers. Turowine Stones.—Yesterday, sevoral lads were arrested for throwing stones at the resi- dence of Caroline Sanderson in the Second Ward. After 2 hearing before Justice Stevens. F Proctor was fined $1 and costs, and Charles Newby, Lewis Donoho and Walter Butler fined $3 aud costs, each. Assautr anp Barterr.—Wm. Bruce, col- ored, was arrested yesterday by Officer Mit- chell, for assaulting and beating Isaae Green. He was taken before Justice ‘Williams, who held bim to bail for trial at the Criminal Court.
