Cry CoUNcILs-The Board of Aldermen, last
evening, passed bill authorizing the Mayor to ac-
eept the proposition of q. i. Ryder and Company :,
to build an iron bridge for foot passengers over the
Washington city canal at Tenth street west, agree
ably to the plan and specifications submitted by
them and TO enter into contract with them for
the building of the bridge, if. on examination the
Mayor shall be satisfied that the same will answer
the purpose intended, and the sum Of two thousand
dollars is appropriated to carry the law into effect
The bill passed by vote Of ten against three,
(Mcssrs. Dove, Magruder, and Wirt)
la the Board of Common Council, bill for the
extension of the Northern Liberties market house to
Eighth street was passed-yeas sixteen, nays two,
(Messrs. MulIoy and Van Reswick,)
MosoUEToEs.- many years we have not
known the city to be much infested by these tor
menting insects as at this season. Sections where
heretofore they have rarely, if ever visited, seem
to be their favorite haunts. Some of friends
have found temporary relief by applying to their
bodice solution Of oamphor; but soon as the
aromatic gum evaporates, the enemy returns with
redoubled strength and increased appetite to his
work. Many sighs for frost to cut short the
career of the musical invaders. However, our
citizens alone do not suffer from this cause. A
gentleman, who has just returped from months
visit to the North us, for comfort that
in other cities the evil is far ntolerabe and
that he experiences a sensible relief from mosqueto
bites or punctures by being at home.
The REcHABIrEs.-A committee, consisting Of
Mossrs John Mills, VIM. w. Tucker, and VIM
X. McLanc, yesterday called upon the Mayor of
the city, and presented to him the resolution of
George Washington Tent, temperance organi-
cation, thanking him for the course which he has
recently taken with view to restrain the liquor
traffic.
RosERT ELLrs, the young gentleman who wss
recently captured by the Spanish authorities, has
mother residing in Washington. He was, we learn,
formerly clerk in Barnes & MitchelPs dry goods
store, aud at one time the bookkeeper in the
Morse telegraph Office. He was highly esteemed |

for his gooi conduct and qualities. He accompa-

Cuba.
FINE PEAcHEs.--We have not only seen, bat
recently tasted, some Of the peaches from the or
chard of Mr.. J. G. Lewis, near this city. They are
large, firm, beautifully biushing, and truly deli
cious. None better ever grew. They were taken
from trees in high state Of perfection, in conse-
quence ofbeing painted near the root with cheap
