Mr.. CUNNINGHAM called up the resolution rela
tive to the appointment of committee to investi
gate the accounts of the Superintendent of the
Almshouse for the year 1857.
| The PRESIDENT said that the question was on the
| substitute offered bv the gentleman from the 2c
Ward, Mr.. Randoph.)
Mr.. WooD offered substitute for the substitute
| and the original resolution, referring the charges
| to the Joint Standing Committee on the Almshoust
| for investigation.
Mr.. HYNEs.-l am opposed to that, and think il
comes with bad grace from the gentleman of the
| Fifteenth ward, as he is member of that Commit
tee. 1t don't look right to legisate himself on
| Committee.
Mr.. WooD said that he considered that the Aims
house Committee was the proper one to investigate
the charges, and if the Branch had not confidence
for one could not on it. He would not act on
a Committee which did not possess the confidence
of the Branch. t.s'
Mr.. NEWMAN said that on a previous occasion be
had made the charges against the City Superinten
dents of the Almshouse, and he would ask the in
diligence of the Branch for few minutes while he
would review the charges. He said that the first
charge was that of mismanagement of the farm -
The report said that over eleven hundred bushels Of
grain had been raised, when he had been credibly
informed that the amount raised was really only
little eight hundred bushels This discrepan-
cy was to be accounted for, and he could not see
how it eould be satisfactorily explained. This
shortness of crop was not owing to bad season,
| the contrary it was most prosperous season. The
grain he had been informed bad been allowed to
blacken and rot in the fields This was the cause
OF the non-production. The same negligence which
characterized the saving of the grain exhibited
in almost everything connected with the Almshouse
superintendance But he would leave the farm and
refer to COAL Coal during the year in question was
cheaper than in the year previous and yet had the
same amount of coal been consumed as during the
previous year, which was not the case, there would

OYsTERs.-A very interesting report has been
results of experiments made for the improvement of
oyster-beds The locality chosen was a portion of
the bay of St. Brieuc, on the coast of Brittany.
Between March and April about 5000, 900 of oys-
ters, taken from different parts of the sea- were
distributed in ten longitudinal beds in the above
bay. The bottom was previously covered with old
oyster shells and boughs of trees arranged like fas-
cines. To these young oysters attach themselves,
and so fruitful the results that one of the ascines
was found at the end of six months to have no less
than 10000 young oysters on it. The report
further states that H. 900 hectares may be brought
into full bearing in three years at an annual
expense not exceeding 10000 francs.-London

A great masquerade ball was given in Mil
waukie about a week ago. The Ne,cs of that
city, in the course OF an article describing it,
says:
"One gentleman fell in love with his own sister,
while another man danced, talked and promena-
ded with gentleman in woman's dress three
hours, in the vain hope of finding out who the dear
creature was. One young took his mother to
the supper, and great was the surprise of both on
learning how matters stood. One of our leading
merchants gave his ring to young lady if she
would raise her mask that he might her features
when it was his own sister, who he supposed
was at home with the tOoth-ache! Two gentle
men got in warm dispute to who certain
young lady with black domino was, and after
making wager of two bottles of champagne,
found out that the young lady was the young
and mischievous brother of the losing party"

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

IOLHE INIELLIGENCE.
Yesterday morning F. NJ. Palmer and Thomas
Arnold, of New York, and lately doing business in
Hanover street, in this city, under the firm OF
Palmer Arnold, were arrested bv detectives Ste
vens and Gorman, on warrant issued by Justice
Alexander, charging them with conspiring to de-
fraud another New York firm of the sum of So, 200.
1t appears that this charge is based upon the fact
that some weeks ago the senior partner went to
New York and purchased quantity of goods
amounting to 81, 200, of the firm of Van Reiper 4
Co.. wholesale dealers in furniture, &c., on Broad
way and that it has been discovered since the goods
were sold, that the representations made at the
time of the purchase were entirely false. On the
arrival of the goods in this city, instead of being
taken to the store of the accused, they were imme
diately carried to auction warerooms, where they
were, for the most part, sacrificed at public sale.
1t Is conectured that the store, rather counting
room, which they ostensibly kept on Hanover
street, was merely sham-no goods ever having
been carried thither since it opened by the ac
cused, though it is an indisputabe fact that tbey
have purchased goods amounting to thousands of
dollars from various New York houses.
Messrs. Chickering h Sons. piano manufacturers,
and Isaac Mix, carriage builder, both of New York
city, have made allegations against the accused for
detraudlng them of goods, to what amount we did
did not learn. All the facts that we can gather in
dicate that the persons who have instituted crimi-
nal prosecution against this party, not the onl
sufferers from their sharp practice Several par
ties, residing in New York city, have been arrest.
ed, charged with being the agents or accomplices
OF the Baltimore branch of swndlers. 1t seems
that these New York "agents" participated in the
the numerous frauds of the party in our city, by
endorsing their paper, suffering themselves to be
referred to, regards the liability of the quasi
"Baltimoreans," and in many other ways, by which
they could obtain credit to any amount desired
We learn that Wednesday evening the various
firms who had credited these men, numbering in all
about twelve, held meeting to devise the best
means of prosecuting them, or to consult upon
what course should be adopted in the case. Jus
tice Alexander held them to bail in the sum Of
$4,000 each for their appearance on Tuesday next
for an examination upon the charges last preferred
against them
