Doorne en- TEE FouRzH OF JuLy.-The resotu-
on In favor Of licensing booths, to be erected IN
the vicinity of the Park on the fourth Of July, ena-
mated from the Board OF Assistants, and did not re-
ceive the concurrent action of the Board Of Alder
men, who have adjourned over to Monday next
The statement in relation to the erection Of such
temporary places for the sale of refreshments, has
msled many persons, who have it In contemplation
to erect booths on the fourth instant unconscious Of
the risk they are running in taking such step,
sanctioned by the authorities It is due to such
sonsto state, that we have it authorty from the
Mayors Office that it is not intended to grant any h
cences for the purposes above referred to- and should
their own risk choose to erect booths about
the Park it but due 10 inform them OF the state
of the law. Some OF the morning journals nave
been led into error IN announcing the intenton OF
the authorities to grant this old privilege to the IN
dustrious of our citizens We 0nght To have an ex-
plct official declaration on the part OF the auho-
rites, announcing the they intend to pursue
in the event of any persons being SO Tar mlsed by
the action of the Board of Assistants, as to induce
them to erect booths in the Park on the Fourth OF
July. This ID certainly not asking too much Al
together, however, we must say, all the fuss made
against the booths Is a very small business.
City Intelligence.
THE WEArHER--All this week has been most unsettled
with heavy rain and lightning and we hope will have
the effect Of settling the weather SO that citizens
enjoy the festivities Of the Fourth. One good thing
however will result from it. the dust has been laid ehec'
tually and military companies and societies that Walk
in procession that day. will find it moro comfortable
than If II had boon otherwise.
THE SrREErs.-Some few days back laid before
the Inspector Of the Fourth Ward the dcploabe cond
tion Of Madison street. between Roosevelt and James
streets imagining that the evil which existed would at
be remedicd but visiting the spot this morning
found it ten fold worse Acompete dung heap Is in
creasing rapidly and at end Of the and herds
morning ndulgng freely in the mire, causing most
offensive smell in the neighborhood If the Street In
spect0rs will not attend tohs and other nusances IN The
city, we hope the Mayor will take it up in person.
EXTENSIVE FoRGERy.-Co considerable excitement was
created in Wall street yesterday by 1.-The arrest OF Chas
