CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The Museum. This favorte place ofamuse-
ment closed last evening for few weeks for
the purpose Of thoroughly renovating and re-
pairing it from top to bottom. The stage is to
be raised about Is inches, and the proceneum
so altered as to admit of better view of the
performances. The saloon will undergo thor
ough repairs. A new and elegant drop cur
tain, together with entire new scenery, is to
take the place ofithat at present in use The
picture gallery and other rooms are also to be
painted and handsomely done up. 1t is the
design otthe present manager to arrange every
thing with an eye to neatness, comfort and
convenience, and then to produce such amuse-
ments and performances as shall merit the ap-
probation of all. We are pleased to have the
pleasure of announcing this highly desirable
improvement, and hope that, when completed,
and the Museum shall be again opened, public
anticipation may be fully met.
Meeting Of the City Councils. We learn that
his Honor, the Mayor, has called an extra ses-
sion ofthe City Councils, to be held on Friday
afternoon, the LIST inst. at 3 O'Clock, at the City
Hall. The object in calling the councils to-
gether at this time, is for purpose of making
some provision for the repairing of the damage
done in the city by the recent storms of rain,
and in reference to the completion of the Iron
suspension bridge over the Falls at Madison
street. The councils at their last session made
no appropriation to meet any such contingency
as the damage the city property has sustained
by the storms, and it is therefore necessary to
consult them before any repairs can be effected
We hope when they do assemble, that liberal
appropriations will be made TO carry out the OBJ
iects in view.
