was referred to improvements committee; also,
to same committee, bill for repairing gutter

grading and gravelling ii street west, between
K and M street- north.
Mr Magruder called up the special order,
tbe resolution in relation to the construction
of a new centre market building
Mr. Busey said he was not in favor of the
resolution as it now read. The provision
making it necessary to go to tbo people would
delay tbe matter a whole year, which he
thought needless Mr B then eutered upon
the ouestion whether the market, if built,
would pay the revenue expected, and pre
sented calculations going to show that the
revenue would afford an annual excess of some
ten thousand dollars over tbe interest upon
the sum required to build the market. There
would be 92 double or 184 single butcher stalls;
278 vegetable stalls; 6 market restaurants ; 6
market stores, and a large market court for
transient persons. Mr B expressed himself
in favor rf going to Cengress without other
delay, and moved to amend the resolution by
striking out that part requiring the proposi
tion to he submitted to tbe people.
Mr. .Houston said, that, with the view of
testing the sense of the Board, he would move
to lay the motion upon the table.
Mr Pepper expressed himself in favor of
Mr Busey s motion to strike out. With the
sectional feelings exhibited, he was not cer
tain that a two-thirds vote could be obtained
for the proposition, if submitted to the peeple.
Why not go to Congress at once, and ask
power to issue stock ? lie had no doubt of
the propriety uf the motion to strike oat; and
a* a friend uf the bill should vote for the mo
tion.
After some further debate, Mr. Houston
withdrew hi" motion to lay upon the table.
The question being taken, the proviso was
stricken out.
Mr Houston thought this a summary mode
of creating a debt. He was utterly opposed
to this project of erecting a market-house and
creating a debt. He would inquire what was
the present annual revenue of the Centre
Market? |Mr Busey answered about twelve
thousand dollars J Well, this revenue would
certainly be lost to the city, and it was a rev
enue that could not be spared.
Mr Busey said that if it was necessary to
go to the people it could be done upon the
issuing ef stock for the erection of the market
He contended that it would not cost the city a
cent to build tbe market, and brought up fig
ures and calculations to sustain that position
At the new Eastern and Western markets
every stall commanded a higher premium
than had been anticipated.
Mr. Pepper didn't believe that it would
come up?u the property-holders of the city at
all. The project nad received the approba
tion of some of the best practical business
men of the city.
Alter further debate, the question upon the
passage of the resolution was taken by ayes
and noes and decided in tbe affirmative, as
follows :
Ayes?Messrs Magruder, Bayly, Miller,
Tretler, Evans, Emery. Pepper, Busey, Pear
son and Clark.
Nay?Mr Houston.
Tbe resolution as adopted is as follows :
it rtsolvtd, Src.) That the committee
representing the interests of the Corporation

hundred an 1 fifty thousand dollars, at a rate

Jmrposo of enabling it to erect a new building
?jt tbe Centre Market, upon tbe condition that
the sales, leases, rents, Ac., of said building
be set apart for tbe payment of the interest,
and the liquidation of the principal thereof,
or an eqaal amuuntof the present outstanding
six per cent, stock of the Corporation.

Cabusi's Mar Festival ?The May festi
vals of this year seem to have the luck of
unpropitious weather; nevertheless, Carusi's
large saloon, on Friday night, was graced
with a large and fashionable assemblage of
miss>es and masters, parents and friends, and
strangers temporarily in the city attracted
hither by the charming display. The little
May Queen was perfectly radiant, and she
was most adequately supported by her maids
of honor and troupe of fairy subjects. Mr.
Carusi showed his usual fine taste in the pyra
midial grouping of the children upon the
steps below the throne; in the artistic and
pleasing arrangement of the delicate-colored
draperies about the throne, and in the ar
rangement generally of the details of this
agreeable festival. Weber's fine band offi
ciated on the occasion.
Tex English Opera.?The Harrison and
Pyne opera troupe must have been gratified

bly no superior in this character.

fendant. A colored girl had left the com
plainant, and suspecting that she was con
cealed at Mrs Tippett'a. a search warrant was
issued ; and, upon searching the premises, the
girl was found. The complainant doclined to
prosecute after hearing all the statements ;
?ind the case was accordingly dismissed.
Goisg too Fab ?An old gentleman named
J Brady was arrested yesterday by Officer
Wollard, for assaulting Frances Birch, a little
girl of eight or nine years of age. The old
;entleman was informed by Justice Smith that
le had no right to whip another man's children.
If the children were tresspassing on his premi
scshe might use force sufficient to remove them,
but to take a stick and beat or whip them
would be a violation of law. The justice or
dered him to give security for peace.
Larceny Casks Dismissed.?Six neri^ns
were arrested on Sunday by Officer Wilson
who were charged with the larceny of certain
clothing. They were taken before Justice
Rowland for trial. Three were so very young
that the magistrate, by consent of parties, dis
missed them ; and they being too young to use
as witnesses agaiust the other prisoners, they,
too, were dismissed for want of evidence.

A Card. ? In the letter of the correspondent
of the New York Times, of the 19th inst., the
following extract appears :
"It ia stated that Captain Darling, Door
keeper fcf the House, was knocked down last
night by Senator Bright for insulting lan
guage."
In answer, I have to 6ay, that the corres
pondent (anindividual named Simonton) when
he wrote that article, knew he was penuing a
malicious lie. I have no acquaintance with
Senator Bright, have had no difficulty what
ever with him, and never spoke a word to him
in my life.
The cause of Simonton's malicious and sys
tematic libels en me is simply this, viz : He
petitioned me to appoint a page for him
(which I have not done,) when I was first
elected Doorkeeper of the House He has
subsequently repeatedly threatened that if I
did not comply with his request "he would
nut rest until he had me removed."
I should not have deemed his slanders wor
thy of notice but for his connection of the
name of Senator Bright with mine, as he has
connected them. N. Darling.
