We were in formed yesterday that the city authorities have determined to rigidly enforce the ordinanoe relative to oleanslng tho sidewalks of anow and loe. On Sunday last the streets were almost impassable, from negleot upon the part of per sons to make the aidewalks free from slush, and there ia every prospeot that they will be Is the same condition to-day. The ordi nanoe is very explicit, and If our information be correct, much trouble may be saved by timely attention to its requirements. Serious Railroad Accident it Tin: Third Wabd. A milkman, named Mathiaa Walle, while driving cross ths track of the Little Miami Railroad, a short distance above the depot, yesterday afte.-noon, was ao seriously injured by a locomotive, whioh ran against bis wagou, that it is feared he can not recover. The vehicle was completely demolshed, and he was thrown to the ground so violently that hit arm waa broken and hla skull quite severely fraotured. lie was conveyed to a house in the neighborhood where his wounds were dressed and his arm amputated, but his Inju ries are of such a nature that it is more than likely they will prove fatal. , A Minister Mistakbn for an Actor, One of our violent pro-slavery Southern exchanges presents its readers with tbe following ex traordinary intelligence: "The ultra-abolitionist, Conway, who for some months pest has been making a great stir iu Cincinnati, by his rabid haranges against slavery, has at last turned actor, and is drawing crowds of negro worshippers to the Opera-house in that city." This will be very new news here, and we would respectfully inform our Southern cotem porary that Monoroe D. Conway, tbe Unita rian minister, and F. B. Conwav. doinc tha leading business at the Opera-house, are two very ainerent persona, ana are only related to each other through Adam and Eve. Board or City Imfrqvkmknts. At the reg ular aesaion of the Board of City Improvements, held yesterday morning, the Clerk was di rected to prepare and transmit to the City Counoll ordinances to assess a special tax upon the real estate bounding and abutting on the following alleys: Hogan-alley from Forbus alley to Honry-streetj Hazen-alley from Hafer alloy to Green-street Alsoto advertise for sealed proposals to grade and macadamise Brown-street, from Samuel J. Brown's west line to the north cor poration line. The following repairs of accepted bowldered streets were ordered: Linn-street from Liberty to Everett, for $35; Mercer-street from Vine to Walnut, for $3; Providence-street from Weatern-row to Whitewater Canal, for $3; Crossings at the intersections of Longworth and Elm-streets, for $15; Crossings at the in tersections of Sixth and Elm-streets, tl i. The Commissioner of the Western District was instructed to have the sidewalks on Richmond-street, opposite Linn, repaired with gravel, at a ooat of $10. The Board looated nine public lamp posts, ia Laurel-street from Linn to Freeman. Kxw Books. Applegate k Co., No. 43 Main-street, have just issned, In neat form, "First Qaarrelffand First Dlsoordsin Marriage Life," to which is added a "Matrimonial Peace Offering," from the pen of J. H. Burk. It is a series of entertaining sketches, well con ceived and pointedly told, whioh should be read by those contemplating matrimony, as it Indicates many of the avoidable "breakers ahead." They have also received "First Lessons in Geography,'' by S. Augustus Mitchell, designed as an introduction to the same author's "Pri mary Geography ." It is admirably arranged.

The industrious boy who wishes to exercise his mechanical tastes, can here learn the mysteries of kite building, ship rigging, drum making, boat building, Ac Queer Adventure at the Court-House— An Eccentric Mistaken for a Lunatic. A rather droll story Is told around the Court-bouse, concerning one of its fortrer rti (acAei, who, from extreme eccentricity, has been regarded by many 'of his acquaintances as lunatic, and whose very peculiar conduot baa, it ia said, given Just oattse for suspicion cl his sanity. One day of last week, a man haying been arrested, and an Inquest de lu natho wquirendo held upon him In the Probate Conrt, he was pronounced a fit subject for the Asylum. At this Juncture, the person whose duty it is to oonvey lunatics to Lick Run, was called to take oharge of his prisoner, being previously advieed to be wary in ap proaching tha nnfortunate. The driver, Tim,, went toward the door of the Probate Court, and happened to see our eecentrio hero we will call him Bob supposed him the person with whom he waa to deal. Tim. beokoned to Bob, and when he had ap proaohed asked him down stairs. Having arrived there, Bob was invited to take a ride on Tim's wagon np town to a lager-beer saloon. In a moment more, the two were rattling along briskly, and whan they had nearly reaohed ths Brighton Houae, Bob Insisted upon knowing where his companion was going. Tim, thinking he had been playing the hyp ocrite long enough, informed Bob that he was destined for the Asylum) pointing to the in stitution In the distance. "Well, if that's your direction, I'm going back to town," observed Bob, not even then suspecting the mlataks of the driver. Bob was about getting out when Tim seised him, and, after a struggle, tied his arms together with a handkerchief; but Bob soon unloosed his hands', and when Tim en deavored again to detain him, he struck out boldly, and knocked the Jehu head-foremost Into the gutter ; and leaving him to his reflec tions, hurried rapidly away. Tim returned to the Court-house is soon as he could remove the mud from his garments and wash tha blood from his face, seeking for his escaped prisoner, only to learn of his egregious blunder and to bear a great roar on his announcement of his adventure. Tim consoled himself for this merriment, which doubtless appeared to him unseemly, by declaring that he'd "taken many a man to the Asylum, but he had never seen a chap madder than that fellow." [Communicated] A Protest from the third ward. To the Editon of the Prta; In behalf of a large number of German born reaidents of the Third Ward, I desire to interpose for a favorable public sentiment among citizens outside of that ward, to aua tain the opposition of those living in it, against the oocupanoy of the aohool-houae on the north-west corner of Esst Front and Parsons-streets. The public meeting held last week, and the determined mode used, of ex pressing the indignation of the eitizena, wero to express in the firmest and most forcible manner the real and wide-extended opposition to the projeot which has passed the City Coun cil, to occupy the sohool-house designated for a branch Prison and Work-house for female vagrants who have been sentenced to incarce ration for sixty days. Our position is a pe culiar one; all the residents on the street above, for a long distance, can reach Front street only by passing along this building. Even with a high fence aronnd the yard, the prisoners, when at recreation, will be over looked from the windows of private resi dences in the immediate neighborhood. Scenes of disorder and excitement will always prevail about the entrances on the daily re ception of prisoners. On their dismissal from the house these depraved women will prowl about our residences, offending by their pro fanity and rile oonduot, the eyes and ears of the women the ebildren. Thoy will demor alize the young men thereabout, turning tbe loeallty'lnto a rendezvous of the idle and dis solute. Worthy families living in this neigh borhood will thus be insulted. If this nui sance Is allowed, it will be a reproach to the City Council, and unjust to the East End. We say no, very loud, and will appeal to the law, if necessary. AN OLD GERMAN CITIZEN. Sickness at tri Citt Prison. Day before yesterday there were five oases of delirium trtmetu at the City Prison, one of which re sulted in death. Yesterday an unusually bad cace waa sent to the Commercial Hoapital, but another waa added to the number already under treatment, and there are now four oases atill in that institution. We have aome reason to believe that there are persons who are in clined upon all occasions to be humane, and feel that in the suffering, the destitute and the degraded, no matter to what extent they may be to blame for their WTetohednesa, there ia atill eomethlng left whioh entitles them to tho sympathies of mankind. To judge from their actions, which, after all, is the best test cf one's humanity, very few of this class find, or have found, their way into our City Counoll. Our reason for this statement maybe easily imagined. It has long been an exploded idea that persons who are guilty of no offense, save tharof intoxication, should be punished in the same manner as those who are guilty of larceny, and in the statement which opened this artiole may be seen one of the results of the disregard our Council pays to the faot. The matter has been discussed long enough, and theeffeot of confining such persons so that they are wholly deprived of a atimulant that haa become a necessity of their lives, has at length become so manifest that humanity re fuses longer to be silent, and Insists upon being heard. That they may be reclaimed none oan deny, but that their conditions is improved by the present method of disposing of them no one ia mad enough to admit Police Court. Judge. Lowe disposed of forty oases yesterday, one of whioh may be of some Interest. We therefore give it, together with the result of some others whioh have before beta mentioned ia our columns. Poter Dory was examined upon an Indict ment oharging him with publishing and selling obscene books before a jury, whiob, after an exceedingly careful and mlnnte examination, found him guilty upon the second count. Four boys, Robert McCarty, Victor Jerrard. Barney Duffy and Thomas Burns, tbe four boys who were arrested some daya ago upon the oharge of grand larceny, were aent to the House of Refuge. Ann Goldsmith, the great western bank note eater, was discharged because the Ken tucky sohoolmaster refused to appear against her, and there was In consequence of this no evidence of her guilt. Charles Millard, arrested in eompany with Thomas Eugene De Marbaia, for swindling a couple or bucolicists, was discharged, as there was no evidence of his complicity In the affair. Tag Wratbib Tai Cbanok or Ysstsrday. Cincinnati can hardly be surpassed anywhere for variableness of climate, an assertion which vosterdav will corroborate. In the morning a warm rain was falling, and the breath of summer was In the clouded atmosphere. xSre noon, tho storm had grown chill y and the copious drops beat coldly and euarpiy upon the pane and the pedestrian. In the after noon the rain was accompanied by sleet, and before dark snow was descending sparsely. Ai the evening advanced the anow-shower increased, and long beforo midnight' the earth was covered with a winding-sheet. As we writ two o'olook the snow still scatters down, and the streets, and trees, and house tops, are all glistening in the crystal forms, with tha white dream of death upon tbem. All winter appears to na as we graze out cf the window, and the stern season displays the frozen scepter of its Icy reign. Hats. Those wishing to purehase tbe latest style et hats should, before going e.sewhere, eall on B. R. Alley, No. 41 Broadway. He furnishes nothing but a superior article, and persons relying upon his representations will not be deceived, lie also has the celebrated seamless oap. - t MiUTAnr. The different officers in the city, to attend the Military Convention, will lie preaent in full uniform at the Opera-house this evening, by invitation of Manager Barras. Fifth Anniversary Home of the Friendless—Addresses by Rev. N. West and Rev. Kingston Goddard. The fifth anniversary of the Hnma of tha Friendless waa held last night at Union Chapel, on Seventh-street, nesr Western-row. The audience was quite large, notwithstanding tbo weather, which doubtless deterred many per sons from attending who, under any other cir enmstanoes, would ha vs been present. SECRETARY'S REPORT. The usual devotional exercises, such as read ing the Scriptures, singing and prayer, opened the meeting, after which the report of tbe sec retary, Mrs. 8. Frankland. was read bv Judge Storer. The report was elsgently written, and in many parts was quits rhetorical In style. It was lone and smbodlod a relation of the doings of the Board of Managers, their visits w me rrtsons anu Hospitals, tneir hopes and fears, and containing many Incidents and statements from nsrsons who had been re claimed through the efforts of the Soolety, that must nave neon grateiui to ita members as they were interesting to the audience. The Home for the Friendlesa has now been In susceasful operation five years, and during all thla time haa been pleading for help te en able the Board of Managers to provide a auit- auio piace igr me accommodation 01 tneremaies under their care; but still they labor under tho disadrantatte of an annarent lank of a-enaral Interest In the Institution In tho oommunlty and an almost deploted Treasury. During the past year one hundred persons havs been received into the Home, and there has been but one death that of an infant. The report olosed with an anneal to tha gen erous to assist them in the work they had un- uoriaBen, a sincere regret lor tne sickness of the President, whose oounsel and aid the Board could not spare, and at remembrance of the aympatby it bad reoeived from the friends of the institution. TREASURER'S REPORT. The report of the Treasurer, Miis-HHtry A. draff, was also quite long, and was only par tially read. The recolnts durins the vear. In- eluding the balanoe on hand at ths last re port, amounted to $3,905 64, of which $461 were received by subscription, and $670 48 by donations. The expenditures, inoludlng house rent ana nouse expenses, amount to $3,740 85, leaving a balanoe in the Treasury of $164 68, ADDRESS B7 REV. If. WEST. Rev. Mr. Weat opened hla address by atatlng that he was glad of the opportunity afforded him to speak in behalf of the almost aband oned class, whom the Association had taken under Its oharge. The female who had once sinned was seldom reclaimed, and the fault was principally that or society. The betrayer was taken into tbe parlor and made a friend, but the victim of his plot waa orushed to the earth. No one oould deny thla fact, but could any one asaert that it was the result of a true Christian apirlt. It is, however, the spirit of a virtuous community, but waa it auoh an one aa the brother would bear toward his sister, or a father toward his erring child. ADDRESS ET RSV. KINOSTON 00DDAR0. Rsv. Mr. Ooddard spoke of the cause in which these noble women were engaged, and was glad to tee ao large a number present the fact might be denied, but it could not be dis guised, that the persons who were to blame for the misery of those fallen women were our brothers and our fathers, and with referenco to the more advanced in age, many of them were to be found in our ohurches. He had stood at the bed-side of the dying girl whose life had been one of shame, and breathed into her ear the same words of con solation he had used to the members of hia chnrob, and knew there waa no depth the divine arm oould not reaoh. Their hearts were naturally no worse than ours, and might be touohed by the same voice and restrained by the same love. Conversion was not merely moral reformation, and if tbey were approached with confidence and love, their hearts might be found and changed. Art and seience always undertook tbe hard est task, that they might leave the greater monuments. The diver found the brightest pearl in the midst of a mass of corruption; and so in this case many of the britrhteat intel lects were olouded by shame, and an cols were often hidden beneath the tinsel and rouge of cue uniortunate magdaien. Memphian Nights. The nights have been as dark as those of Memphis or Clmnterium this week, and yet the street lamps have been extinguished according to tbe almanaa, leav ing the olty wrapped in Impenetrable gloom. Several accidents have ocourred, and one or two persons who fraotured their limbs talk of aueing tne city tor damages.. It is high time this absurd custom of regulating lights by the almanao should be abolished. Death in the City Prison Cokoneb's In quest. Coroner Carey was called upon yes terday morning to hold an inquest upon the body of a man named Peter Kelly, who died at the City Prison. There was little difficulty tn determining tne cause 01 nis aeatn, how ever, and the verdict of the jury was to the effect that it waa the result of long-oontlnucd intemperance. Monetary and Commercial. Eastern Exchange was quiet and rather low jresterdar at H buying, and premium selling, with transactions at 32M3.1c. With the lotting In of the very cold weather, It is probable ths rats will decline, and we think it mar ro down to-day. Money waatn active demand yesterdnr In the reg ular quarters; and ths market was closer than on Monday. No change in any special feature of finance; tbe storm interfering with all out-door business. Superfine Flour was iu good demand yesterday, Hnd though purchasers were willing to buy at S3 lug,i l.i holders asked higher prices. No change occurred in Whisky. Tbe market Tor Hogs opened with animation, aud advanced 76 per rent, from Slouday'a prices. The very firm feeling gave way, however, aa the day ad vanced, ami a decline of 25c. occurred. The entire number killed op to last evening was li,0no, agalnat '231,000 to the lame date lantaeaaon. At the close of the market yesterday holders were deslroun of selling and almost all the lots offered were disposed of. Provisions were unsettled on 'Change, and a num. bercf lots were re sold. Groceries wers steady and unaltered, and Grains without caange. The Imports and Exportsof various articles during the twenty -four hours ending yesterday noon, were as follows: Jmi'ohts. Flour, 7i7 brls. ; Whisky, 1,043 brls.; Corn, 9,603 bushels; Wheat, 2,1(2 bushels; Oats, 636 bushels; Barley 1,794 bushels; Hogs, 7.703 head, includ ing 3,300 left at Brighton House tbe nrst three days of last week; Sugar, 371 hhds.; Mohusas, 112 brls.; Coffee, 309 bags; Apples, J39 brls.; Butter, 28 kegs; Potatoes, SO brls.; Pork and Bacon, 72.M7 brls.

The import entries at New York for tbe past week, Including the dry-goods table in our last paper, amount to t,W3,844 against 83,633,667 the same week last season. The exports of domestic produce and miscellaneous goods are 81,418,131 against $7I.',M0 same week last year, and of specie, including $230, SCO by tbe Vigo, for Liverpool, on Saturday, ?71o,oo0 against $115,000 same week in ISM. Monday's Mew Tork Times observes concerning Saturday: During the week past, although ths bank move ment was strengthened on Monday by81,721,iGti from California, tbe tendency of the Money market was to firmness In the rates of DisconDt 011 long-late bill, outside the Bank rule, and also on temporary loans to broken on miscellaneous collateral.
