ferred to the committees 10 which they apperained.
A petition from the Asylum Committee to be en-
powered To remove manure from the streets TO their
farm at BIoomngdale The petition was signed by

Of 1000 loads Of manure would be very seasonable
benefit to the asylum. Aid. Hoxie stated that few
hours ago he had seen the name Of Stephen Alien
signed 10 a document complaining of the great az
penses OF the city; yet now we see him making an
application by which those expenses would be in
creased He moved that il be referred 10 the com.

FRINGE DE JoINvILLE AND Panty IN HIS
HoSoR.-On the occasion of the Prince de Joinvlles
arrival IN this city, which is expected daily the loyal
French inhabitants intend to give him such dinner
as shall eclipse every thing of public nature ever at
tempted here In comparison with this, the Astor
House dinner TO Mr.. Webster, last November will be
mere lnncheon-a common every day affair. Tic
kets ftoenty dollars head; and no pains will be
spared to make the refined and elegant Is
possible. 1t was in contemplation to have given
ball; but as the committee Of arrangements woula
have had TO designate the ladies' with whom the Prince
should dance, and as they not sufficiently numer-
Gus OF the elite, this project was given up.
That it will be splendd affair, we doubt not
