THE CITY OF WHEELINe.-This enterprising
city has lately subscribed 100000 to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, the bonds deliverable when the
road is completed to that place. II has also sub
scribed $25O,0OO to the Western railroad. We
learn from tho Wheeling Times that the actual
debt Of the city ia but 100000, while the available
sources can be converted into cash at $4S0.000,
leaving her legitimate taxable property good for
$4,000 over and above the current expenses.
Tho annual revenues of the city are now $4,000,
out Of which she appropriates $4,000 for city
penses, $4,000 for interest, and there remains
$4,000 for the interest the $250.oO subscrip-
ton to the Western railroad-which will only be
$4,000, leaving $4,000 in the treasury each year
on her present revenues.

FATAL MisusE OF FInRARMs.-Maurice O'Con-

nell,) while dining with some friends at hotel
near Cork, took up pair of pistols that had been
lying unused for seven months, and placing one in
the hands of friend, Mr.. Twiss reserved the other
for himself, in order to show how duel was fought
The two parties took their position, and pulled trig

and Mr.. Twiss fell with wound which is pro-

ao.ton Common co.ncil.

At the regular meeting of the Common
Council of Boston, on Thursday evening last
1--WE copy from the Co,rier.)
Mr.. Sever submitted a resolution, "that the
council views with high satisfaction the decided
condemnation, by the other branch Of the city 60
vernment, Of the recent outrage upon the laws Of
the city and of the Commonwealth. and Of the Uni
ted States, and heartily approve OF the directions
given to the city marshal for his guidance on all
future OCCASIONS when riot is anticipated in con-
sequence of the arrest of fugitive slave. The
solution was adopted unanimously.
Mr.. Gardner moved tho following additional re-
solutions:
'sRssoIped, That we hereby protest against the
inference that we, citizens Of Boston, indif-
ferent lukewarm in regard TO the recent in
frngement Of the public peace, and that we hereby
declare, for ourselves and our constituents,
Spouse to the recent proclamation Of the President
OF the United States, and assert our determination
to support the majesty and the supremacy Of the
laws"
Mr.. Haskell thought that Mr.. Sewers resolution
expressed all that was necessary ON the subject;
and he doubted the propriety OF members voting
sentiments for their constituents.
Mr.. Gardner said he expected opposition from
the quarter from whence it has come but the OBJ
jections Of that gentleman were not to deter him
from urging the passage Of the resolution. will
be recollected that when General Jackson Issued
his proclamation upon another topic-a topic in
which Boston had very remote interest only-the
city council responded by calling meeting OF the
citizens to devise means for sustaining the laws;
and now the President has issued proclamation
which entirely concerns Boston, and yet gentlemen
were unwilling to express their sentiments.
Mr.. Putnam here submitted the following as a
substitute for Mr.. GARDENERS resolution:
"Rssolvsd, That we cordially respond to the
cent proclamation Of the President of the United
States, and will our earnest efforts to see that
its recommendations are fully carried out"
A long discussion now took place, and the ques-
ton on the motion to amend having been finally
taken, it appeared that Mr.. Putnam's proposition
TO substitute was sustained-ysas 80 to nays.
The resolution was then adopted by unanimous
vote.

February II, 1861.
Sir: Information has just been communicated to
the President that number of persons, principally
people of color, in the city of Boston, did, few
days since, combine to prevent the execution
of the law providing for the arrest Of fugitive
slaves, and did forcibly rescue slave who had
been arrested from the custody of the officers of
justice. II is possible that the city authorities may
find it necessary to call in the military force to aid
in the execution of the law II such should be the
case, and the marshal or any of his deputies shall
exhibit you the certificate of the circuit dis
trict Judge Of the United States in the State of
stating that. in his opinion the aid
of military force is necessary to insure the due
execution of the laws, and shall require your aid
and that of the troops under your command, as a
part of the posse conifatus, you will place under
the direction and control Of the marshal yourself
and such portion of your command as may be
deemed adequate to the purpose. II neither the
circuit district judge should be in the city of
Boston when the exigency above referred to shall
occur, the written certificate of the marshal alone
will be doomed sufficient for you to afford the re-
quisite aid.
Very respectfully. your obedient servant,
