CITY AFFAIRS.
Qur Civ Fathers seem 10 have been s''iieu

daily papers--who made arrangements 50 - :,
allow their cmplcyes 10 keep the SaLba'h-'nous",

10 work lille on that holy day-bnl we nope W
shall not be prosecuted for this sei-incniPasio"'
Al all events, it will require ynx-eyea ONCE
10 detect orr editorial misunderstanding III an e.
cvaled Auto.
In The proceedings Of the City Council, we
observe that w. w. Crump, Esq, presented me
following Report:
"The committee appointed by resolution Oh
The Council, 10 enquire into The VIOLATIONS u o0i
laws in relation 10 notwithstanding, and 10 re-
porl BY ordinance or otherwise, plan lot 'iie
more e0crtual suppression OF these VIOLATIONS, &c.
spcctiully submit The following report and lhe
accompanying ordinance
I'VE regret thai we have not room Tor The we'll
reasoned preamble. We come at once 10 The
policy recommended
"Your Committee, therefore, recommend me
abortion Of the following ordinance, differing
from The Act Of Assembly only in The penalty
imposed. and instead Of fixing the line as by me
Act aforesaid il is assessed, At 81 o., the ordi-
nance provides for fine Of MOI exceeding ~ GOT
lars nor less than dollars, 10 be laid at The ds-
cre,ion oil the Mayor.
"Be il ordained by The Council oil me Ciy OF
Richmond, that il any person on saboa'h day
shall himself be found aborng al his own, or any
other trade or calling or shall employ his appren-
,ires servants or slaves, in labor or other bust
ness except il be in the ordinary household offices
of daily necessity, or other work OF necessity, or
charity, within The City OF Richmond he shall
forfeit SUN moi exceeding ~ dollars and not
less than dollars, 10 be levied and imposed al
The discretion Of The Mayor Of said City OF Rich
mond, for every such offence; deemins every ap-
prentice servant or slave. 50 employed, and every
day he shall he 50 employed as constituting dis
tinct offence.
"And The foregoing report and accompanying
ordinance having been read, they were laid on
The table"
We trust that our Council will, in their wis
dom, make 4 special exemption from this ordi-
nance, for the benefit Of an important class OF IN
dividuals--we mean The Barjes. A clean chin
on Sunday morning, has become matter OF ne
cessily from long habit, 10 say nothing Of The
luxurious feeling il inspires. We, therefore,
hope, that a "dseeh respect for The opinions and
necessities OF those who, like ourselves, can ne
yer successfully practise on The rule OF "every
man his own Barber" will induce the important
amendment which we have suggested. We
would rather surrender our breakfast on Sunday,
than the pleasure derived from The keen razors
and Getty news" Of our excellent Balbers, Halton
& Ruiiin.
We see that Mr.. Crump also made a Report
on The subject OF The Richmond Academy, which
has been taken charge Of hy Col. Crozet, former
" The able State Engineer The Trustees Of the
Academy, which belongs 10 the city, adpetion-
ed the Council for a loan OF 900 dollars for
repairs OF The building and furniture OF The
school rooms-the Trustees pedging themselves
10 reserve from the lees Of Inc students attending
the Academy, the sum of three dollars annually
from each student, as a fund 10 repay The loan 10
the city. Mr.. Crump, as chairman Of the COM
mitlee on the subject, made an excellent report,
which, too, We are forced 10 omit, recommending
the loan in accordance with The petition Of The
Trustees. The report was so amended, as 10 au-
lhorze loan o. $50 dollars, ipsteadot 1000 dol
lars, and in This form was adopted.
II is almost enough 10 vex the patience Of saint
but our ear has just been struck BY The ominous
note OF our foreman, warning us that the unusual
pressure OF advertisements must considerably
abrd:c original matter. Strange that, in
these "Polk times, we should have, in the Ian
sua.c OF oar foreman, sal least dOnJlc the guam
tv ~ -I---~..------. had lasi r""rsn whom
every Wing was asking "Who is James T.
Polkl" But we mast find remedy, and very
soon.
We particularly regret The necessity of fur
ther poslponing "A Virginian 10 the Core"
which We felt sure OF bringing out to-day. Ii
stands first on the list and shall appear a, once
Our other correspondents must also have patience
for few days.
We are requested by The Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts 20 state, for The Information OF all persons
